Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 1078: Chapter 1078: True home



"Is this the entrance of the battlefield?"

Karyk stood in front of a swirling vortex that appeared like it was far from safe as an entrance. It was chaotic enough to destroy anything that got closer to it.

Even the strongest of meteorites were destroyed until nothing was left of them, with an unknown force that acted in all directions.

"It is one of the many entrances of the battlefield," the Captain of the Battleship told Kayak, accompanying him as close to the vortex as he possibly could.

He appeared as if he was escorting Karyk to the battlefield, but Karyk could see that the man was ready for battle at any moment.

He wasn't here to escort him. Instead, he was accompanying him to make sure that he entered the battlefield instead of getting cold feet and running away.

"Normal people can't even approach the entrance beyond this point. Only those who have the access token made from the bones of creatures within the battlefield can pass through."

"A token made from the creatures within?" Karyk looked at the token in his hand, which had the familiar essence of abyss.

If the token was related to him, it could only mean that the creatures within the place were the same. Were they beings that were influenced by the abyss and mutated? He wasn't entirely

sure.

The only thing he was sure about was that the person next to him wasn't lying. The vortex did feel like it was carrying a similar essence as the token.

Normal people truly couldn't survive the energy of the vortex long enough to enter the battlefield unless the vortex accepted them as one of its own thanks to the tokens.

As for him, the token was not even a significant necessity. He could feel his entire body in sync with the vortex that was as large as the moon of the earth.

In front of the vortex, he felt as insignificant as a small ant. Still, it was at least smaller than the Angels.

"If the portal is this small, can the Angels even pass through it?" he asked the captain.

If the Angels couldn't enter the battlefield with their real bodies, then they were truly at a disadvantage inside. Why did they even want control of the battlefield?

"The portals that they use are much bigger. The only reason we came to this smaller vortex is because it's the only one that hasn't been discovered by the Angels yet. It is a well kept secret by the family."

"Anyways, that is enough talking. When are you entering?" the Captain asked Karyk who was merely half a meter away from the range of the vortex. "Or do you have no plan to enter?"

"I am going. I just wanted to gather some information about that place before I-"

Karyk tried responding, only to feel a push on his back.

The Captain didn't even wait for him to complete before pushing him within the range of the vortex.

"What's there to know about? It's not as if you will return alive." The Captain of the Drike Family turned around after pushing Karyk within the vortex.

However, as he was about to return to the ship, he felt something wrap around his arm like a snake. He didn't even have time to react before he was also pulled back, entering the range of the vortex.

"No!" The Captain tried his best to leave the range of the vortex but it was too late. The forces of the vortex trapped him inside, making his body implode with the chaotic forces.

The remains of his flesh and blood was devoured by the darkness that had pulled him back. After devouring him, the darkness returned to the young man who was walking toward the heart of the vortex.

The shadow merged with the young man who appeared to be completely free of the unknown forces within the chaotic vortex.

Karyk was walking inside the vortex as if talking a walk inside the garden.

Even if one had a token, they couldn't travel through the vortex freely. Their bodies were pulled by the vortex and sent to the battlefield at random locations.

Karyk, on the other hand wasn't pulled by the vortex. It wasn't even the token which was resisting the force but his own body.

His disguise was removed on its own, his facial features returning to the normal. His clothes that he received from the Drike Family were torn apart, but his flesh didn't have a single wound.

He covered his body with the clothes he made using the essence of the abyss that weren't affected by the vortex, soon reaching the core where the actual portal was present.

"This feels truly familiar."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The closer Karyk came to the portal, the more comfortable his body felt. It was as if he was an animal that was returning to his normal habitat after wandering in the territory of other animals for a really long time.

"Is this place my real home?" He stepped forward and entered the portal that was the passage connecting this universe with the place that the world called battlefield.

As he crossed the threshold, a wave of energy coursed through his body like a current down his veins. And then, in an instant, he was transported to a place known for craving blood of all those who entered it.

He was pushed out of the portal like a meteor falling in the world.

Uncontrollably falling, two wings appeared on his back. He quickly regained his balance in the

air while also reducing the speed of the fall.

His feet landed on the ground gently and the dark angelic wings on his back disappeared swiftly, leaving only a black robe that draped down his back.

"Is this the battlefield I heard so much about?" Karyk looked at his surroundings, his expressions becoming a lot more strange.

He had expected the world to be barren with the stench of blood everywhere. It was nothing like he had imagined.
