Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 844 844: From Land of Chaos

Karyk glanced back towards the depths of the land of Chaos one last time before he started leaving.

"Oh, one last thing." On the way back, he grabbed the thread. "I'm sure I don't have to tell you, but this time, you shouldn't send the Undead Beasts to attack the border City. It'll be bad if you lose your forces before you're even freed."

"Even if you kill them, I can bring them back to life. So how will I lose my forces?" The woman asked, as if looking down on Karyk. "But don't worry. I won't send them."

"Who knows. If I were to kill them, you might find it 'very' troublesome to bring them back." Karyk laughed as he shook his head. "Though it's good that we're on the same page now."

.....

Karyk reached the outer edge of the land of Chaos, from where he could clearly see the city walls. Most of the walls were still incomplete, in the process of being repaired and expanded.

Karyk reached the hidden entrance and opened the passage with the secret key. The walls moved to the side once the City Lord's key was verified. The entrance to the underground passage leading back into the city opened.

The journey back felt much faster as he was already experienced about the length of the tunnel. Before long, he was back in the City Lord's Palace.

The other end of the passage opened, allowing Karyk to step inside the Palace. However, this time he wasn't alone. Two more people were behind him.

"You can select any room you want." Karyk stepped inside the long passage while talking to the assassin. At this point, he knew that the assassin wasn't going to dare leave the Mansion without his permission.

The Assassin swiftly nodded and separated from the two of them, as if he was waiting for them. He felt intimidated just being in their presence alone, since both of them were too strong and scary.

Moreover, both of them had almost completely destroyed him. He blessed his lucky stars that he had survived long enough to switch his sides to them.

After the assassin left to select a room for himself in this vast yet empty mansion, only the hooded person was left behind.

"What's your name?" Karyk asked the man as he walked toward the balcony.

"I still don't trust you." The man spoke clearly. "You meant harm to her."

"If I meant harm to her, you think she would've been alive until the moment you arrived?" Karyk asked in response. "If I wanted to kill her, she would've been long dead. By the time you reached here, you would've only seen her lifeless body."

"You can't kill her," the man stated.

"Are you challenging me?" Karyk laughed, pushing open the door that led to the balcony.

"No, I'm not challenging you," the man replied, his voice filled with scary calm. "I am just telling you... Don't even think about harming her. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise?" Karyk asked, a slight frown covering his face.

"Otherwise I'll kill you first!" The man exclaimed, killing intent clear in his voice. Karyk could also feel sharp threads around his throat.

It was as if the man was showing him how easy it was to kill him.

"You're a few centuries too young to be threatening me." Karyk snapped his fingers. All the threads that were around his throat were cut in small pieces while the hooded figure flew back, crashing against the wall.

"As I told your master, I have no intention to harm her. I only want to protect my people. If she doesn't become an obstacle in my goals, I won't have any reason to harm her."

Karyk stepped onto the balcony, leaving the hooded figure in the distance, a crack spreading across the wall where he had crashed.

The hooded figure stood up, his deep red eyes looking at Karyk's back through the hood.

Karyk knew that the man was like a double edged sword. However, he also knew how to use such a sword. The key was with him, since the woman had already allowed him to command this guy.

He also knew that he was of use to the woman, so this guy could only threaten him, but never harm him. And even if he was to try and harm him, Karyk had taken enough precautions for his safety.

As Karyk stepped onto the balcony, the moonlight illuminated his face, revealing a calm and composed expression. He could feel the cool night breeze gently brushing against his skin, heightening his senses.

Under the beautiful moonlight, the city looked even more surreal, especially since the beautiful sea could be seen not far away.

It was midnight, and there was no one that could be seen on the streets of the city. All citizens had contributed towards rebuilding the city, and were resting after a day of hard work.

As Karyk was observing the empty city, he noticed some movement near the entrance of the city. The guards that were standing on the border walls could be heard, asking someone on the other side for their identity.

"Hmm? Someone is coming at this time? And in that direction... Isn't it the Land of Chaos?" Karyk frowned, as he located the source of the voice.

Before he could react, he felt the ground tremble. There was a large explosion as a huge hole appeared at the border wall. The guards atop the wall were horrified by this display of power, especially since they weren't professional warriors but ordinary civilians that were assigned the duty.

Frowning, Karyk jumped off the balcony, flying towards the border wall.

"Didn't I tell you to not send any Undeads?" Karyk asked, holding the invisible thread.

"I haven't sent any. All Undeads are within the city." The woman's response came from the other side, which surprised Karyk even more. If it wasn't an attack by the Undead from the Land of Chaos, then who?
