Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Gabriel knew he was slightly weak when it came to spells, but he was also informed that the spells he could access were powerful, especially when accompanied by his Ancestral Staff.

"You don't need to waste your energy. If you use your Staff to cast a spell, it will attract too much unnecessary attention, which our battle won't. It's not the time for you to come before the world like that." Lira rejected the offer of help right away for the safety of Gabriel.

She focused back on Ruyi, who appeared to be laughing. She couldn't believe two kids were deciding to fight her instead of falling straight to her feet, begging for their lives.

"All the Churches did the right thing by shredding your Church of Darkness from the core itself. I just wish I could've been a part of that battle itself. I heard the agonized screams of the Dark Mages were so sweet to hear. I couldn't hear it then, but I can now. Isn't that great?"

The taunting words of Ruyi didn't affect Gabriel since he really didn't care for the Church of Darkness. He wasn't related to it, and he didn't know anyone from the Church of Darkness who had died, but there was someone who was heavily affected by these words.

Lira closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. Her pendant started shining in a mysterious dark light as if answering to her emotions.

"You're right. The agonizing screams of the Dark Mages when you murdered them... I'm sure people like you would've enjoyed it. Even though you call the Dark Mages Monsters, in reality, you're the Monsters. So I wouldn't put it past you to enjoy the death and destruction you cause."

"But did you forget one thing? To kill a few hundred mages of Darkness, you brought thousands of Mages of all Element Churches united? If you think that's something worth being proud of, then no one can be more pitiful than you. Each Mage of Darkness fought tens of you before falling! Your side had more losses than the Church of Darkness had total members!"

"Five Heads of Elemental Churches! Five of your leaders had to fight one of ours! Five of yours murdered one of ours! Did you forget it? Or do you only selectively remember history? You all weren't the brave Warriors that you portray yourself in the history books! You were all cowards! You were all a mob! A pack of coyotes that attacked a tiger and managed to win!"

"Death? Murders? Mob?" Ruyi chuckled. "It's only a murder when you kill innocents. When you kill Demons, it's not murder but extermination."

She further continued, "Of course you'll need more people for extermination to save some time. We exterminated all the insects to make this world a better place! Unfortunately, some insects survived. It's fine; I'll clear them now that I'm here. Can't leave everything to the Holy Church of Light, can we?"

"Extermination." Lira shook her head, gazing at the blue-haired lady. "You will regret your words in two minutes as you die if you don't run."

Ruyi went blank in response before bursting into laughter. "You really do know how to make a joke! Let me see how you'll make me regret my words in two minutes! I swear to the Goddess of Water that I won't run!"

In her arrogance, Ruyi once again fell straight into the trap of Lira. Lira didn't want Ruyi to run and inform Elora when she called out her Grimoire. That's why she taunted her in such a manner where she was forced to take an oath that she wasn't going to run. If she couldn't run, then she couldn't go and inform her.

Gabriel couldn't help but shake his head. It appeared to be too easy to fool Ruyi. She kept falling into one trap after another, all because she didn't take them seriously. She thought that these two were just stupid arrogant kids since they were so young. She hadn't expected that both of them were owners of a Holy Grimoire just like Elora.

Elora was younger than Ruyi, yet she was stronger because her spells were further boosted by her Grimoire and the Ancestral Staff. Even if the two used the same spell, it was clear which side was going to have a more powerful attack. Because of the Grimoire, the experience became somewhat insignificant as the distance between the strength was messed up.

Moreover, Lira wasn't a new mage either. She was more experienced than Gabriel since she had lived with the Grimoire for a long time.

"I've wasted enough of my time on you two already. It's time you die!"

Ruyi tapped her staff on the ground firmly. "Wave of destruction!"

Following her command, the ground started trembling as it split apart a few hundred meters behind Ruyi in a straight horizontal line. From the massive split in the ground came water. Thousands of cusecs of water came out of the split ground, creating a gigantic tsunami behind Ruyi.

It all happened within a few seconds of the spell being cast as a tsunami advanced toward Lira.

The Tsunami appeared to have enough strength to destroy an entire town easily, yet there were only two Targets for the Tsunami this time.

Gabriel gazed at the thousand feet tall waves of the tsunami that was advancing toward him. The wave appeared to have enough strength to drown both of them.

"Imprison of the Tainted!" Ruyi didn't stop even now as she cast another spell simultaneously.

A wall made of water appeared all around Lira and Gabriel, surrounding them. The top was also covered in water. It was as if Lira and Gabriel were trapped in the prison of water, but it wasn't ordinary water either.

The walls were made of the purifying water, also known as the Holy Water. This was also one of the reasons that the Church of Water played an essential role in the destruction of the Church of Darkness since they could use the Holy Water in spells.

It wasn't impossible for a Mage of Darkness to pass through the holy water barrier, but whenever they did, they were temporarily weakened, unable to use any spells.

Since Ruyi didn't want Lira to escape through air, she used the Prison of Damned to keep them in place. If Lira tried to fly through the prison of the damned, she was going to come crashing to the ground.

The Tsunami was going to destroy them if they did anything, but it was also going to destroy them if they did nothing...
