Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 845 Chapter 845: An Unexpected Guest

?"He is..."

As Karyk was halfway to the border wall, he noticed a figure step within the city through the broken portion of the wall. The man wasn't even trying to hide his aura, which made him appear unafraid.

However, the most surprising part was that it wasn't an undead. Instead, it was a living person, and one that Karyk recognised all too well.

"How dare you block my path?" The man exclaimed, his voice loud enough to awaken the entire city.

The guards who had tried to stop him were killed in an instant, their bodies exploding under the pressure. Even many, who were in the nearby houses, felt their ears bleed as they woke from their sleep.

"You had so many paths leading to life, yet you had to choose death," Karyk muttered, shaking his head.

The man was the same General who had escaped from the puppet master's control thanks to Karyk. However, it still took him a long time to find his way out of the Land of Chaos as he wasn't sent back by the Queen of the Celestial Dynasty.

It wasn't wrong to say that he was impressive to be able to break through her space and escape, although it took a long time.

Karyk landed before the man, his face covered behind a mask. Fortunately, the man hadn't seen him back in the Land of Chaos, so it was impossible for him to find anything suspicious.

"You... Lead me to your City Lord without any delays!" The General told Karyk, his tone arrogant and filled with dignity. It was clear that he looked down on everyone.

Even when he mentioned the City Lord, it was clear that he didn't pay any respect to that title.

Karyk glanced at the broken city wall and the remains of the Guards that were just trying to ask the identity of this person. They were just doing their duty.

"There's no need to worry. A guest from the Capital is here. Please go back to your sleep." Karyk spoke, his voice also just as loud.

His voice reached every corner of the city, but it was more soothing compared to the man's voice that hurt everyone. It was as if his voice had some healing and calming abilities.

The people who were scared and hid inside their houses, thinking that they were under attack, started coming out of their hiding.

Karyk waved his hands, cleaning the blood and the remains of the Guards that were killed, his expressions impossible to read.

On the other side, the General was also surprised as he saw Karyk use various abilities that felt no weaker at times. He didn't know why but he felt a strange feeling when watching the masked person.

He didn't know if this was his misconception because he was still on high alert after his escape. After a few seconds, he shook his head and stopped overthinking.

"I don't have time to waste for your cleanup! Are you taking me back or should I send you where I sent those weaklings?" The man warned Karyk who had just finished cleanup.

"Don't worry. I'll definitely bring you to your destination..." Karyk said, his expressions impossible to decipher.

He turned towards the Palace in the distance. "Please follow after me. I'm sure the City Lord should be awake as well."

"If he's awake, he should've come to welcome me himself!" The General stated angrily. "Looks like he needs to be taught some manners as well."

Karyk didn't respond to the man. He had already seen what the future of this man was going to be, so there was no point in arguing.

He led the man back to the Mansion in the centre of the City.

Landing before the mansion, the General noticed that there was not a single guard here. It was as if this was a ghost mansion.

"Our City Lord trusts his strength a lot. So he doesn't have any guards to protect this place." Karyk told the General without glancing back.

"What an arrogant man," the General commented as he followed Karyk inside the mansion, not finding anything suspicious.

Karyk led the man upstairs towards the floor where the Puppet Master was waiting for him.

The General reached the higher floors, accompanied by Karyk. He kept up the page with Karyk, only stopping when they reached the end of the hallway.

"The City Lord is inside." He told the man as he opened the door.

"To think that he still hasn't come out to meet me." The General confidently stepped inside the room without a second flight.

Karyk also entered the room after the General before closing the door behind him.

The General looked at the person who was standing near the window. The man's back was facing him so he couldn't see his face. However, seeing even the back of that person, he had a bad feeling.

This physique was the same as that of the person who had caught him. It wasn't just the physique but also the cloak that he was wearing felt similar.

He still didn't know if it was just the fear within his heart that was making him imagine things.

He strengthened his back before asking, "Are you the City Lord?"

"That would be the person behind you." The person responded. "As for me..."

He slowly turned around, revealing those deep red eyes once again.

The General was stunned at the sight. He couldn't believe that the person had managed to catch up to him, and so fast at that.

"Looks like your City Lord is already dead." The General clenched his fist, talking to Karyk. "You should leave this place. This isn't a place for kids to stay."

He still didn't understand the meaning of the Puppet Master's words when he mentioned the City Lord was behind him.

"Weren't you here to meet the City Lord? Why are you telling him to leave now?" An amused voice came from behind him.

Hearing the words, the General's expressions darkened. He turned around, looking at Karyk who was standing before the exit.
