Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

As Eliana turned around, she saw Maya standing behind her, still confused. Unlike Eliana, Maya still couldn\'t sense anything. She was just shocked to see Eliana turn around so suddenly and Gabriel disappearing.

Eliana was frozen in her place, finding a young man standing behind Maya. Gabriel stood silently right behind Eliana. He didn\'t speak and just glanced at Eliana, as if he was telling her that her protection meant nothing and that he could kill anyone he wanted, as long as he desired!

From Eliana\'s expressions, even Maya realized that something was wrong. She slowly turned around. As she looked back, her face went pale. Her legs went weak as she dropped to her knees in front of Gabriel, as if she couldn\'t muster up even a little strength.

Many memories flashed in her mind about their time together. In their childhood, they used to be inseparable and the best of friends, who used to laugh and cry together. None of them expected that there would be a day like today, especially Maya. Everything changed so fast.

Gabriel glanced down at Maya.

Eliana wanted to do something, but somehow, she couldn\'t gather the courage at the moment. There were just too many students around. If she really started a fight here, the chances of victory were really low. Moreover, in the battle, the lives of the other students were going to be in danger.

She couldn\'t decide if she should fight Gabriel for the life of one student and put the life of the other students in danger, or let Gabriel do as he pleased as long as it saved the life of more students. That way, she could also get him to stay here, protecting their spirit stone reserves.

Her eyes subconsciously glanced at the top ranked name in the tower. The Holy Lord of Light was already on the top floor. For her, it was only a matter of time before the Holy Lord of Light came out. After that, things were much easier for her to settle.

In her heart, she was quite angry that she had to do this little bastard as he pleased, even going so far as to sacrifice the life of a student in the process. Unfortunately, she had no other option. She had already lost the support of Izen after all. All the responsibilities of the Academy were now on her shoulders.

"Gabriel, being a Holy Lord, are you really going to go so far as to bully little kids?" After a brief pause, Eliana asked. "You don\'t have the courage to face the other Holy Lords, and are turning to bullying the weak?"

"Lady Eliana, are you sure you have the moral right to say such a thing? Does anyone in this world have the right to say such a thing?" Gabriel asked. "When all the Dark Mages in the Academy were killed in the war, were they killed by other students who had the same strength as them or were they killed by stronger priests from Churches?"

"You should know the answer to the question as well as I do," he added. His tone was light, but his words were heavy. "The world has never been fair. It\'s always been strong, killing the weak, oftentimes for no reason at all."

It was something he already experienced after all. The moment he had just awakened, he was killed by Hawrin who was much stronger. Harin already knew spells and had the help of his brother who was a student at the academy while he hadn\'t even learned a single spell.

As if that wasn\'t all, the entire village had gathered to kill him when he had awakened the Element of Darkness, being led by the girl before him! If no one considered the strong and the weak at that time, did they really have that right?

"The concept of being strong and weak... The concept of righteous and evil... The concept of fairness in battles... It only comes into play for you all when you\'re the ones who are facing trouble. But when it\'s the people you consider enemies, you all just become blind spectators and nothing more. Am I right?"

There was not a single person in the entire field who dared to respond. They couldn\'t even find words to respond after all. Everyone understood that it was always strong killing the weak in this world. There was really no fairness in this world!

Moreover, even if they could respond, they didn\'t dare. The person before them was said to be a Holy Lord that even the Head Teachers were intimidated by!

"That reminds me..." Gabriel didn\'t care what the others thought. In fact, he had already surpassed most people here. His heart was already far above what anyone could imagine. Unfortunately, despite all that, there was still a little sadness in his heart whenever he remembered the past.

He looked down at Maya who was frozen in her place. Maya was just an elementary tier mage of water. She couldn\'t do anything if the teachers didn\'t help her.

Gabriel went down on one knee before Maya so that he could look straight in her eyes.

"Am I right?" he asked Maya.

Maya couldn\'t even open her mouth. She didn\'t know just what kind of person Gabriel had become now, but she imagined that he wasn\'t the same as the person she knew in the past.

All the stories she heard about him made him out to be a Demon Lord who killed without blinking an eye! It was also said that the last Head Teacher of Flames was killed by Gabriel and the other Head Teachers couldn\'t do anything to stop him at all!

"What happened, Senior Sister?" Gabriel asked. His face had no emotions, just like his voice.

When Maya looked in Gabriel\'s eyes, she found them to be quite different than in the past. In the past, Gabriel\'s eyes were full of dreams, righteousness and love. But now, his eyes didn\'t have a shred of emotion. It was as if he had already become a different person at his core after all the bloodshed.

Maya was completely silent.

Gabriel placed his fingers around the soft cheeks of Maya, gently caressing her face. "Weren\'t you going to kill me last time to eradicate the evil from this world?"

Unfortunately for Maya, his gentle actions didn\'t match his bloodthirsty eyes.
