Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 875 875: Freedom

The girl flew toward her brother. However, instead of waiting at the balcony for her, the Emperor personally came down.

"Brother, I did it!" she exclaimed as her brother came closer to her.

Her brother didn't pay any attention to her and simply flew past, which surprised her. Her brother still had some concerns on his face.

The Emperor landed in the middle of the battlefield, glancing at the ashes. "Check to see if you find any storage rings. I'm going inside."

After commanding his men, the Emperor entered the tomb as if he was looking for something.

The Shadow Guards didn't try to follow him as all the threats were taken care of. They could already sense that no one was inside the tomb anymore so the emperor was safe.

Instead, they shifted their attention on trying to find any storage ring that the Emperor had asked about. They rummaged through the ashes, but they found nothing.

The Princess also landed at the entrance of the Tomb, wondering what her brother was trying to look for. If it wasn't here, that could only mean that it was still inside the Tomb.

"I'm sure I'm overthinking. Even he shouldn't be able to touch that. If he had, he would've been dead. It should still be inside... I'm certain."

The Emperor kept trying to convince himself as he walked towards the depths of the tomb, soon entering the room where the coffins of the previous Emperors were kept.

He didn't even try to check the bodies of the former Emperors, directly walking towards the black coffin in the middle.

"Please still be here..." he muttered as he carefully opened the black coffin.

The moment he completely opened the coffin, his body froze. There was nothing inside the coffin. The sword was missing.

It was really taken. Still, he didn't lose hope. Even if it was taken by Karyk, it could only be inside his storage ring. Even if Karyk was killed by flames, his storage ring should've been fine.

He took a deep breath, hoping that he was going to find it inside a storage ring in the battlefield.

"Brot-"

As soon as the Emperor stepped out of the tomb, his sister approached him again.

Before she could speak, the Emperor asked the Shadow Guards, "Did you find the storage ring?"

"There is no storage ring on the battlefield." The men let out a sigh, not wanting to deliver this upsetting news.

The Emperor's expressions turned dark. "How can that be possible?"

There were only two ways to take that sword without touching it. One was to put that inside a storage ring and another was to put inside a spatial storage that wasn't tied to a ring but to a soul.

If it was a storage ring, then they should've found it. And if it was a spatial storage tied to Karyk, then the sword should've appeared outside the moment Karyk was killed. It didn't make sense that the sword wasn't here.

"It's impossible!" The Emperor exclaimed. "Search properly! You must find the storage ring!"

The Shadow Guards quickly began the search again even though they knew there was no ring. As they gathered again, they delivered the same news. There was no ring or sword anywhere on the battlefield.

"How could it be...?" The Emperor looked around in disbelief. "If he's dead, then it should've..."

He froze amidst his sentence, thinking of a possibility. The only way the sword wouldn't have appeared was if the person of that soul space was still alive.

"Brother, why don't you look happy?" The Princess asked. "Our biggest threat has been killed. We should be holding a celebration."

"He's not dead!" The Emperor exclaimed, replaying the battle in his mind.

He had always felt that something was wrong. Even if Karyk was weak, why was he standing still? Even a weak mortal would've struggled when their life was on the line. But he just stood there, as if he had accepted his fate.

While the Emperor came to a realization, it was already too late.

The pureblood guards that were protecting the entrance of the city were lying dead on the ground. The vehicle that was used by the Border Guards was missing.

.....

Thousands of miles away, a vehicle could be seen racing in the desert, a young man sitting at the driver's seat. The man's face was slightly pale and the corner of his lips was bleeding.

"I wonder how long it will take them to realize," he muttered as he glanced behind.

Now that he was completely exhausted, he knew he was very weak in this world. He first had to recover his strength by returning to his universe.

Fortunately, he had already identified his destination. Before even entering the Royal City, he had gathered information about the portal nearest to the Royal City that connected to his world.

The only problem was that the portal was heavily guarded by Purebloods as it was close to the Royal City. In fact, it was the most guarded portal on the entire continent.

The Royal City was in a mess at the realization that Karyk was still alive. Soon the Emperor was also informed that the border guards were dead and their vehicle was missing.

It didn't take him long to put the pieces together as there was only one person he knew that could kill a pureblood like the guards. His suspicions were turned to confirmation. Karyk was alive.

All the cities were informed about this incident. The Royal Guards were told to stay alert and inform the Royal Capital as soon as they fought anything.

A large scale net was spread over the entire continent, all in an effort to catch one person.

....

In another place, the Celestial Dynasty was surprised by the blood of hundreds of thousands of Purebloods, which powered a formation created to break the seal.

The entire city was lit up with the power of the formation. Sitting inside her palace, the Empress felt that the chains around her soul were getting weaker.

Slowly, cracks were developing on the chains. Eventually, the chains finally shattered.
