Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

983 Chapter 983: For the greater good

The King was looking at his son crawling towards the Altar. This time, Karyk did see some pain in the man's eyes, but he didn't reveal it.

Was it truly this man's greed? Karyk wondered. Meanwhile, the Angels revealed some disgust while watching the Prince crawl.

"What are you doing? Stop him and take him out of this place! We will destroy that Altar after we are done dealing with this man. We will heavily reward you, do not worry!" The Angel said.

Karyk rubbed his forehead. He had decided to not be a spectator, but he eventually ended up in the same position.

"I will listen to you," Karyk told the Angels, shocking the King. "But only after you tell me how to recover my abilities? From the moment you arrived, my abilities have stopped working. If I want to stop the Prince and take him away, I need my abilities." The Angels looked at each other. They didn't say a single word while conversing with each other.

After some time, one of the Angels tossed a small bracelet towards Karyk.

"The reason you can't use your abilities is because we have cast a seal on this entire world. The seal prevents the use of any abilities in this world, other than beast bloodlines," the Angel said.

Karyk picked up the Bracelet and wore it around his wrist. He could see why the civilization which was so strong disappeared. The seal had basically made everyone useless.

Strangely enough, the seal didn't appear to work on the King. Was he too strong for this seal? Karyk wasn't certain.

"You fool!" The King was taken aback by Karyk's actions. Unfortunately, his path was blocked by the Angels now.

And finally, the storm arrived. A battle began in the sky where the King fought with multiple angels.

Even Karyk was surprised at the sight of the battle. He had always thought that the Civilization was as strong as the Angels. But just one King of this civilization was keeping up with the Angels.

Was it because the Angels hadn't sent their King? Or was the leading angel actually the King of Angels but weaker?

He wasn't sure. He only observed the bracelet. As soon as he wore the bracelet, he was able to use his abilities.

The first thing he did wasn't to stop the Prince. Instead, observed the bracelet with his abilities, trying to see what was stopping this seal from taking effect on his body

now.

"A counter formation? So this much is enough to help me recover?"

Karyk saw a counter formation pattern on the bracelet, which countered the seal of the Angels. As long as his body was in contact with the counter formation, he was free from the seal.

"How interesting."

Karyk used his nails and carved that formation on his chest. While his body healed the wound, the counter formation remained on his body.

To check if it worked, he took off the bracelet and checked if he could still use his abilities.

"It works. So much trouble because of this small formation."

His first goal in coming back was to find a method to free himself. And now with this formation, he had a method.

Even if he went back, he could still use this formation and protect himself. But more importantly, he also found a method to potentially change this word's past.

He didn't understand how it could change his own future, but anything was better than letting the Angels have complete control over the future.

He would still hesitate if he was the same person as the Prince, since killing the Prince would have killed him. But that wasn't the case. He had confirmed... His past, present and future wasn't linked with the Prince.

Although he was still curious about other similarities like their name or the reason he was called the key in the future instead of this Prince, but now wasn't the time to think about that.

He stepped forward and picked up the Prince. However, instead of taking the Prince and leaving, he walked towards the Altar, stunning the Angels.

"Thank you..." The Prince stated.

Karyk placed the young man on the altar.

"Don't say anything. And remember, the outside world might not be as beautiful as you imagined. So don't regret anything..."

The Prince nodded, his eyes filled with a mix of relief and sorrow. He lay on the altar, preparing himself for what was to come. Karyk stood over him, his expression unreadable.

The Angels watched the scene unfold with a mix of confusion and desperation.

"What are you doing? We trusted you!" one of them yelled, but Karyk ignored the outburst.

From his position, the King fought fiercely against the angels. He stole a glance at the altar, locking eyes with Karyk for just a moment. It was a glance filled with pain, regret, and an unspoken confirmation.

Karyk raised his hand, and a dark energy began to form around it. The Prince closed

his eyes, accepting his fate.

"For the greater good," Karyk whispered, more to himself than to anyone else.

Just as he was about to strike, a powerful force surged through the air.

The Leader of the Angelic Group gathered all his strength and attacked Karyk and the altar. The King also reached fast, but before he could stop the attack, the other Angels appeared before him, willing to die just to stop him.

Thanks to the Angels, the King failed to stop the attack from getting past him. He could only watch as the attack landed on the altar.

Karyk's aura knife stabbed the Prince's chest, making the altar shine brightly. At the same time, the Angel's attack also landed on the Altar.

A bright light and cloud of sand and dust engulfed the entire place, hiding the altar from the view.

As the dust settled, there was only a silence that followed. When the air cleared, the once mighty altar was nowhere to be seen, only remnants of its existence scattered

around.
