Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage



987 Chapter 987: Abyss itself

The world turned dark for Karyk.

When he opened his eyes again, he was looking at the world from a completely different perspective.

He found himself in the embrace of the thief who had carried him out of the puddle of blood.

Despite being in the body of a child, Karyk could still feel his connection to the Abyss. It was as if he was being torn away from his true home while still being connected to his home.

The thief left the hidden realm and appeared inside the Palace. Along the way, he observed his surroundings, searching for any sign of guards. To his surprise, he found the path completely empty.

Not a single guard was present. It was as if everyone had simply disappeared into nothingness. He went upstairs and still couldn't find anyone.

Even when he left the Palace, there was no one to be found. All the Guards that were standing outside the Palace had disappeared.

He covered the baby with a cloth and went to the city which had turned into a ghost city. The shops, the houses, everyone was still there. All that disappeared from this world was life itself.

Karyk also realized what had happened. The people of this world and this civilization had not disappeared. Instead, they were devoured by him. They were devoured by the abyss itself.

He wasn't sure if this was what the King expected the Divine Will to be. This was no different than complete annihilation without any bloodshed.

Fortunately, the Angels were also killed so there were not many people who actually saw what happened. The only person who had seen everything was the thief.

The man carried the child in his arms and walked towards the ocean, occasionally glancing at Karyk's face. He wasn't sure if he was still the Prince that he remembered

or not.

Karyk had thought that what he saw in the book was the true history that belonged to him. But only now he realized that this was the point his history actually began. The Thief went back to his house with the child. He placed the child on the bed and started digging the ground.

He dug for over half an hour before he found a black box in the depths.

"I don't know if you can understand me or not. I don't know if you're the same person I wanted to save. I don't even know if there is any point in all this..."

The man carried the black box and went back to the bed. He placed the black box next to the child.

He opened the box and brought a small pendant out of it. He placed the pendant around the young child's neck.

"I was planning to leave this world myself with that treasure. Unfortunately, even after decades, it still doesn't have enough essence gathered inside it."

"It can't take me, but it certainly can take you to another world... I know it is dangerous. You might end up in an abandoned world or even die of hunger before you even see another person."

"But it's better than dying here, because Angels died at this place. More will come... And they will come for you. In this world, there is no place for you to hide."

"If you are to die, you can only blame your luck. I hope you will forgive me."

The thief placed his finger on the young child's forehead. But to his surprise, the child held his finger instead.

He saw the pendant shining even more brightly than ever. From the unknown, the pendant was charging as more and more essence gathered in the pendant.

It was to the point that even the pendant found it hard to contain. Slowly, cracks started developing on the pendant.

"If it's this much, both of us might-" the Thief's eyes lit up. But before he could even finish, he heard another loud explosion.

The roof of his house was blown away, and in the sky, thousands of Angels descended from the sky.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Is that the Prince?" One of the Angels asked.

"Why is he so young?"

"Did that man fail the ceremony and turn the child younger? No wonder he was punished..."

"His failure killed even our people. What a fool... Did he think he could reach the divine will from this place? If only he knew the right place..."

"It doesn't matter. The key is still alive. We wanted to wait until he grew older. But at this rate, he might die before he reaches the right age. We shall take him with us..."

The Angels continued their discussion until one of them noticed the pendant around Karyk's neck.

"Wait, is that...?"

Before he could finish his sentence, a blinding light came from the pendant. The space shattered and sucked the Thief and Karyk inside.

The Angels were left behind, furious. They could feel the destination from the trade of Spatial Destruction.

It was a lower world where they couldn't even properly descend without destroying everything and everyone within. If they forcefully descended and destroyed the world, the Key was going to be destroyed.

Karyk was still in the Thief's arm when he watched the sky change. He recognised this familiar sky and this world.

It was a little different from what it was supposed to look like in the future, but there was no doubt in his mind. This was Elzeira before it was taken over.

They appeared right outside the Celestial City, which was the city where he became the City Lord in the future. And not far from this city was the Royal City of the

Empire.

Everything started making sense for Karyk. Slowly, all the pieces were starting to make sense. The person who brought him to this world was the person that tried to save the Prince.

It was the thief who left the book behind in the library, as if he was expecting Karyk to return to that place one day to find his past.

He thought Karyk would remember the last after seeing their meeting in those memories, not realizing that the person he saved was completely different.

He didn't awaken the Prince's memories, instead he awakened his own memories from the moment he was born out of the abyss.

He wasn't the son of Heaven. He wasn't even the lost Prince that the world

considered him. Instead, he was the Abyss itself.

He was no life. He was the end of all life.
