Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage



1006 Chapter 1006: City of Dead

One night... A single night is all it took for Karyk to take over the Warrior's Mansion as well as the Mage's Mansion, the two main pillars of the Titan Clan.

Both the mansions were turned into a ghost town, and the numbers of so-called ghosts only kept increasing as more and more Titans returned to the Mansions to

rest.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The Mages who were supposed to guard the city entrance waited for the next group so they could return and get some sleep. But even as the sun started rising, the second group did not arrive.

The first group waited a little longer, but nothing changed. No one came to switch places with them.

The Titan Mages were furious. They had already gone beyond their shift, but the people who were supposed to take their places were still sleeping?

"I will go and drag them back while also filing a complaint." One of the border guards told his group, believing that there was no point in waiting. He had to forcefully bring the second group.

Unfortunately, half an hour had passed since he left, but he did not return either. They didn't know that there was no returning once someone entered either of the two mansions as death was waiting for them.

Karyk's undead kept increasing in number. From tens, the number increased to hundreds and kept rising higher.

Meanwhile, Karyk simply enjoyed the sight of his undead army getting stronger. With time, he didn't just stop in the mansion.

His shadows started going into the city. These people were related to the Angels. Which meant they were his enemies. They were also ones who were going to help him establish his footing in this place.

The scene that took place in the Mansions throughout the night started taking place all over the city. More and more people in the city started disappearing.

The Guards who noticed this absence and started investigating on their own disappeared as well.

It was as if the carriage of the Princess brought death with it inside the city. And now that same death was spreading, taking the entire city in its embrace.

The more titans Karyk devoured, the stronger his forces became. He could also feel his own strength increasing with each Titan he devoured.

Not only was the essence of a titan's life being absorbed by the abyss, but the small fragments of Angel's powers were also becoming his, albeit very slowly.

A Titan didn't have much of an angel's power. Even the fragments of the Angel's strength that was given to a titan was only one in a hundred thousandth of the

share.

Even if it was a small fragment, with the sheer number of Titans that Karyk devoured, he was still getting the benefits.

Karyk's shadows even left the border of the city and Devoured the Guard Mages that were waiting for the second team to take their places.

They were replaced by Karyk's Undeads. The entrance of the city as well as the exit was in Karyk's control now.

From the borders, the trap of death was moving inwards with Karyk already present in the middle of the city, feeling the sweet feeling of devouring various lives. Whenever the abyss went, it devoured various worlds. There were no friends or enemies for the abyss. It was like a hungry beast that wanted to devour everything. With his last returning to him, Karyk also felt like he was becoming something similar. The more he devoured, the more his hunger increased. His body wanted him to take more and more.

One titan wasn't enough! Two weren't enough! Hundreds weren't enough either! He wanted to devour them all! It was just an innate craving that was rising within him. It was similar to how the entire civilization was devoured the moment he was born.

The city which was filled with Titans had slowly grown silent. Titans could be seen all around the city before, but that wasn't the case anymore.

The outer portion of the city was completely devoid of any living existence. Only Karyk's undead titans could be seen occasionally, and that too when they had to fight or kill for other Titans to be devoured.

There were also a few powerful Titans who could use magic as well as brute strength. They also held higher positions in the city.

Some of them noticed that something was wrong when their subordinates didn't return from the outer city.

They went to check on the scene themselves, only to be surrounded by Karyk's undead. They fought as well as they could, only to be killed.

Karyk's undead weren't just more in numbers, but they also had other advantages over the titans. They could fight without feeling pain and use the abyss.

Even when they were hurt, they could just heal themselves. Until they were completely destroyed in a single attack, it was impossible to kill them.

The living titans were different. There were a lot of ways to kill them as Karyk had already tested throughout the night.

If the two mansions were swallowed during the night, then the entire city was swallowed during the day.

There were some Titans who noticed what was happening and wanted to tell the

Royal Family.

Unfortunately for them, Karyk had already taken over the two mansions that were around the Royal Palace. He had also replaced the guards with his Undeads.

The moment these Titans approached the Royal Palace, they were killed. The entire Royal Palace was basically sealed and that didn't even know about it. Even the Princess could never have imagined that within one day of her return, her precious city was going to be turned into the city of undead.

She was still inside the prayer room, looking at the statue which depicted an angel. It was even larger than her in size.

After some time, she left the prayer room, seemingly excited as if she had received

good news.

She approached the guards that were stationed inside the Palace.

"Tell everyone to start preparing. They are going to visit the city soon."
