Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage



1004 Chapter 1004: Creating an army

Karyk hovered above him, his scythe dripping with the Titan's blood.

The Titan reached out with a trembling hand, as if trying to grasp at something, anything, but he didn't have any strength left. His vision went dark.

Karyk's shadow engulfed him, making his entire body disappear into the darkness, leaving only the blood stained bed of the giant behind.

The room, once filled with the Titan's roars, was now absolutely silent. The owner of the room was dead, with not one person even knowing about it.

For now, the room belonged to Karyk who landed on the bed. While his abyss was devouring the Titan's lifeless body, the memories of the Titan were being transmitted to him.

Amongst the memories, there were a lot of useful things, especially related to the language of this world. He also managed to learn what kind of world this place was. He was able to confirm that the Titans were truly related to the Angels.

The memories of the devoured Titan showed Karyk that quite a few angels visited this place. And every time they did, they were treated like gods.

In fact, the woman who just returned in the carriage was someone close to the Angels.

She was the representative of the Titans and the only person who was said to be able to talk to the Angels as the other Titans couldn't understand the language of the Angels.

It was because the woman was close to the Angels that she held such a prestigious position in the land.

However, even if she wasn't close to the Angels, she would still have quite a high position as she was the Eldest Daughter of the Titan King who only had two daughters and no son.

"I see..."

After assimilating with the information he received from the devoured titan, he gained a decent understanding of this place.

The world was truly more complicated than he had thought, as even beings like the Titans weren't at the top of the food chain.

Before coming here, he thought that the Angels were the rulers of this world. But he also managed to learn that it was quite the case.

Although Angels were strongest in this World, but they couldn't be called absolute rulers, at least not in the current era.

"The incident that destroyed the Civilization... It seems that the incident struck the Angels as well."

Karyk slowly opened his eyes, realizing what he had to do. The Angels were looking for him as they thought that he was the Prince and the key, not knowing that the key was long dead.

However, he also had a key... A key that could take him to the Angels and help him bring them to ruin. And that key was the woman who was close to the Angels.

The Titan that he devoured was only an ordinary slave. The information he knew was only limited based on what he had seen or heard from others. But the Princess of Titans was different.

She was the connection between the Titans and the Angels. She was also the one who knew most about them.

He didn't think that he could turn her to his side, but he didn't need to do that either. All he wanted was the information kept in her mind, and there was only one way to retrieve that without the risk of being lied to.

He flew higher in the air, but his shadow still remained on the bloody bed. From the shadow, a giant body engulfed in darkness came out, appearing the same size as the devoured titan.

"Try attacking the wall," Karyk commanded the Titan Shadow.

The Titan Shadow got down from the bed and walked towards the wall which the original titan wasn't even able to leave a proper crack behind.

The shadow clenched his fist, and with all his strength, punched the wall.

Once again, there was no vibration or impact that could be felt in the room. However, when the Titan Shadow pulled his fist back, Karyk noticed that a very minor crack was visible on the wall.

The Titan Shadow was just as strong as the original titan. No, it had become even stronger as its entire body was made from the essence of the abyss.

"Try using the dark flames," Karyk changed his command.

The devoured titan was only an ordinary titan who wasn't able to use any form of magic. He only ruled on brute strength, unlike the Mages in the Titan Tribe.

He wasn't the slave titan anymore. He wasn't restricted by the physical limitations with a body that defied all logic.

The other undeads in Elzeira were able to use black flames of abyss, even though they never actually learned it before.

They used the same flames which he did. Hence, Karyk had a feeling that the Titan could do that as well. It was also linked to him after all.

The Shadow Titan followed the command and raised his right hand, firing black flames of abyss at the walls.

This time, the entire wall was scorched black in flames, but the flames didn't stop. They kept burning, slowly but steadily devouring the wall.

The wall had remained sturdy even in front of the full strength attack, but the flames

were devouring the wall.

Karyk waved his hand, making the flames disappear. He called forth his scythe, making it longer and bigger before tossing it to the Shadow Titan.

"Use flames on it and cut the wall with all your strength."

The Shadow Titan followed the instructions, the shadow blade was shrouded in dark flames of the Titan, who swung it hard.

With the mix of the scythe, the flames and the titan's strength, the blade was able to slice through the wall, leaving a deep ravine in the wall.

Watching the three inch deep mark left on the wall which was still burning, Karyk was quite impressed. The Titans were more useful to him than he had thought.

The corner of his lips crept up.

"Shall we start hunting then?"

He raised his hand, commanding the Titan to keep attacking the wall.

One after another, the Titan kept striking the wall, until he finally managed to create a door shaped opening.

He opened a new path to the neighboring room. The Titan resting in the room woke up, only to see a giant titan shadow which sliced him with a flaming scythe.

Before he could react, a second titan was dead, devoured by the abyssal flames. Karyk

didn't stop and created a second shadow titan.

The two titans worked together and kept opening a passage to the next room, without having to go through the main hallway.

One after another, Titans kept disappearing from their rooms.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
