Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage - Chapter 937: A new day

Chapter 937: A new day

Ryder remembered that there were two people who had entered the Abyss from what he heard. The first was Ezekiel, and the second was Gabriel. After thinking about it for some time, he shook his head. It was impossible for it to be them. Anyone who happened to even touch the sword would have died after all. He remembered that Ezekiel and Gabriel were alive when they left the Abyss. So it was impossible. But then where did the sword go? He couldn’t think of an answer. ****

“Are you still thinking about him? It has been over three months now.”

The Priestess of Summoning approached a young man, who was sitting at the edge of the cliff, looking at the setting sun in the distance. The young man didn’t respond to her words. He just appreciated the beauty of the sunset. Most people didn’t know where Gabriel had disappeared to. Even Aliac and Ryder didn’t have a single clue. For them, it was as if he just disappeared with his family. None of them even tried to look for him, wanting to give him the peace that he deserved. It has been over three months since then. In those three months, Gabriel had found a small corner of the galaxy where he found a world that looked very similar to the world where he lived in the past. In this world, there were many elements of magic. People could also awaken elements and then use those elements to use spells. Just like his world, there was also conflict in this world between various Elemental Mages that each had their own organizations. However, Gabriel didn’t care about their conflict. “I am fine. You shouldn’t worry about me.”

They had created a small paradise for themselves in a mountain range that wasn’t very far from the nearest city. Most people from the city didn’t dare enter the mountain range because there was a spell cast by a powerful mage that made it impossible to enter the mountain range. The same spell that created problems for inhabitants of this world offered no resistance for Gabriel and the others that came with him. “You went to the City. How was it?” Gabriel asked the young woman who sat next to him. “It is a fun city. Next time, you should also come with us.”

“It won’t be good. As you already know, wings aren’t normal in this world. There would be a lot of trouble if I came with you.”

“You can just hide your wings. I’m sure you can use spells like that, even after your evolution.”

“If you can’t, I can summon a creature that can cast an illusion around you. No one else would be able to see your wings.”

“Why are you so insisting?” Gabriel asked in return. “Are you worried about me?”

“How can I not worry about you?”

“You know, I’m not a child. I don’t need a babysitter.”

“I’m not trying to be your babysitter?”

“Oh, then what are you trying to be?”

“A companion… Just like I used to be, before Karyk’s soul awakened.”

The Holy Priestess of Summoning placed her hand over Gabriel’s hand. “I know that things can never go back to the way they used to be. But you need to start a new life. That’s what he would have wanted as well.”

“How do you know what he would have wanted?”

“Because at the core, you and him were very similar. And I could see that he cared about you just as much, as much as he cared about Zena,” the woman answered. “Just like he wanted Zena to have a good life and live happily, he wanted you to do the same. And if you don’t do that now, would that really be respecting him?”

Gabriel went silent momentarily. He simply looked back at the setting sun, which was marking the end of the day. “When a day ends, it’s only so a new day can begin tomorrow. You should also have a new day in your life. This is your new life, and live out like one.”

The Holy Priestess of Summoning took her hands off as she stood up. “I hope you seriously think about it. That would make Zena happy as well.”

She slowly left, leaving Gabriel alone with his thoughts. “Am I allowed to accept this new day?” Gabriel muttered softly with no one to hear him. ….

The next morning, the sun rose high in the sky again. “Is brother not coming today as well?” Zena asked, looking back at their house. She still couldn’t see Gabriel. It had been weeks since she even saw him. “He is busy with something important. Give him more time.” The Holy Priestess of Summoning patted Zena’s head, letting out a sigh. “Are you two talking about me?”

The door suddenly opened and Gabriel stepped out of the house. He looked different from before, as he was wearing more ordinary clothes from this world. He had also hidden his wings with a spell, making sure that no one else could see them, even if they existed. “Brother!”

Zena excitedly hugged him. Gabriel hugged her back. “Did you miss me?”

“A lot!*

Gabriel smiled. “Good. I would have been angry if you didn’t.”

“Looks like he is starting to feel better now.”

In the distance, Cylix and Novius also watched Gabriel. In the distance, the Holy Priestess of Summoning smiled beautifully. “I know it’s not easy for him, but he seems to be trying.”

[In another universe]

The High Council of Archangels had gathered for another meeting. Tempers were running high in the meeting. “It is all your fault for sending that idiot! I told you that you will have to pay if he screws up!” 𝒩ewW 𝒏ovels upd𝒂tes on nov/𝒆l/b(i)𝒏(.)com

“Who do you think you are to blame me? As if you did anything right in the first place!”

There was a lot of back and forth occurring between two groups. The cause of this was one person. It was a person who was lying on a table in the middle of the hall.
