Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

It was silent... Too silent. When Gabriel started coming to his senses, he realized that the surroundings were just too silent. He couldn't even hear the sound of the wind.

His head was thumping in pain as he suffered through a heavy headache. Fortunately, his body wasn't in pain. Even though he still felt as if his body was slightly heavy, it wasn't too hard for him to handle it.

He slowly opened his eyes, wondering where he was. The last thing he could remember was that he had just finished killing all the clones of Izen.

"Did I pass out after that?" he muttered as he came to his complete senses. He looked around, observing his surroundings.

As he observed his surroundings, he came to a realisation that he wasn't on the battlefield anymore. Instead, he was in what appeared to be a room. The room wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either.

He was also lying on a bed which was particularly comfortable.

"Where am I?" Confused, he pushed his body up to sit.

He could see that he was in a different set of clothes. The clothes that were covered in blood before were nowhere to be found. Since he hadn't used healing before passing out, some of his wounds were still there, but it was as if someone had placed medicine on his wounds before wrapping them up.

Creak~

The wooden door in the distance opened and a person stepped inside the room.

"Ah, you're up!" The young girl's surprised voice filled the room.

The girl was dressed in a white dress, which wasn't luxurious by any means. Gabriel could already see some stitching on the dress that was done by hand, most probably by the girl herself. The dark haired girl was in her early twenties.

"Who are you?" Gabriel frowned. "Where am I? How did I get here?"

"Uh, I am Olivia. This is my house, or rather my father's house..." The young girl answered.

"Did you change my clothes?" Gabriel inquired.

He couldn't help but wonder if he somehow managed to escape the battlefield, only to pass out for the girl to discover him. His clothes were changed but his gloves were the only thing that weren't taken off.

He wondered if the girl had seen his Elemental Marks when he was unconscious. Did she already inform the Churches about his presence in that case?

"N-no. Your friend helped you change. He was also the one who brought you here when you were unconscious. Since ours is the only physician family in the entire town, he forc- cough, I mean asked us to help you," the girl explained. "It's good that you're up."

"My friend?" Gabriel couldn't help but wonder who she was talking about. Did she mean the Infernal King? Did that guy bring him away from the battlefield? That was surprising since he knew that the Infernal King hated leaving the battlefield in the middle of the battle.

"Where is he?" Gabriel asked, sliding off the bed to land on the ground. He still felt a little weak. It was just as the Mirror had stated. The more he used his abilities, the worse he was going to feel. It was like his body was facing a backlash.

In any case, he needed to retrieve that item from the Arecia Empire.

He picked up a glass of water from the nearby table and gulped the water down at once before walking to the girl.

"Your friend went with my father to retrieve some herbs from the beast mountain that were supposed to help you heal faster," Olivia answered. "The two of them should be back by evening."

"Beast Mountain? I see. So we are still in the Lumen Kingdom..."

"That's right. Ours is a small town on the outskirts of the Lumen Empire." Olivia nodded.

"Shouldn't there be a Church of Light branch here? Did you already inform them?" Gabriel opened the door to leave the room, followed by Olivia.

Olivia went silent for a few seconds before answering, "To inform them, don't they need to be alive in the first place."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean the first thing your friend did after coming here was to destroy the Church of Light," the girl answered. "Since you were asleep, it's understandable that you don't know."

"I see. So he already handled everything. If there is no Church branch in the town, the main Church can't be informed about our presence here. That way, no one knows we are here. And if they even find out, by that time, it'll be too late. Not bad."

Gabriel had only seen the Infernal King fight before but seeing him take care of the entire matter and thinking of the long term plan was really very refreshing.

"Where are my clothes?" he asked. In the new clothes, he felt quite uncomfortable. The clothes were a little loose since they belonged to Olivia's father who was on the healthy side.

"They were covered in blood, so we had to clean them up." Olivia took Gabriel to a specific room where his clothes were being kept. It was just as she stated, the clothes had been cleaned already. There was not even a speck of blood on them.

Olivia was really curious about the identity of these two people. One of them was covered in blood when he was brought to them. Even the second in the group was so powerful that he could destroy the entire Church of Light branch. Just who were these two people?

Gabriel closed the room after entering, leaving Olivia behind. He took off the clothes he was wearing and wore his old clothes that he received with the Ancestral Staff of Necromancy.

Wearing his old clothes, finally he felt a bit more comfortable. After getting changed, he opened the door and stepped out of the room.

Olivia had seen Gabriel when he was brought to her in a bloody condition, but now that there was no blood on him and he was back in his princely attire, even she couldn't help but find herself dazed for a moment.

'Now that I look at him, he is certainly very handsome, like a Royal Prince. Who would've thought that he would be an enemy of the Churches...'

Since the Infernal King destroyed the branch of the Church of Light, it wasn't hard for her to guess their identity. She didn't need to check their marks to realise that these two most probably belonged to the remnants of the Church of Darkness.

"You don't seem scared of us. Is there a reason for that?" As soon as Gabriel stepped out of the room, he asked the girl.
