Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Karyk tried to walk toward the side, but the dark haired man stepped before him, blocking his path.

"May I help you?" Karyk asked, looking at the man who was an entire foot taller than him.

"I'm sure only you can help me," the man said, his voice not holding the slightest of friendliness.

"How about you come with us for a little?" he asked, placing his hand over Karyk's shoulder as if not giving him a chance to refuse.

In response, Karyk politely but firmly brushed off the man's hand and took a step back. "I appreciate the offer, but I'm afraid I can't accompany you because you can't afford to have my company."

"Alright. I'll save some time in that case." An aura dagger appeared in the man's hand. "You've been observing the Three Great Families for quite some time. May I ask why you caused all this mess? Who are you?"

Without giving Karyk a chance to answer, the man aimed the dagger at him. "But before you speak, let me tell you something. If I don't find your answer satisfying, you won't have the second opportunity to speak."

Karyk could see that the man wasn't alone here. There were a lot of men that were spread all around him. Some were even observing him from the rooftop.

He could kill most of them, but if even one of them escaped with the news that someone was killing Purebloods, it wasn't going to take long for the Royal Family to guess his identity.

"But before you answer..." The Envoy placed the tip of the dagger under Karyk's mask. "Let there be no masks between us."

He raised the dagger, slowly taking off the mask. However, before he could, his wrist was grabbed by Karyk.

"I'll ask you again. Are you sure you want to interfere in my matters?" Karyk asked. "Can you truly afford the consequences?"

"I'm quite curious to see what kind of consequences you can show me," the man laughed. However within that laughter, a lot of anger was hidden.

"I won't be the one showing you the consequences, but someone else..." Karyk stated as he looked directly in the eyes of the Envoy of the Royal Family.

"And who might be that someone else?" The Envoy asked again. For a moment, he thought that Karyk was exaggerating to try and escape. But when the man grabbed his wrist, he didn't know why, but he felt slightly suppressed.

Although he wasn't showing any large movements, he had been trying to subtly free his wrist. But he couldn't even move it an inch.

Karyk reached out his hand towards his left. A spatial portal appeared next to him. His hand entered the Spatial Portal, grabbing a hold of something.

He pulled out an Emblem from the Spatial Portal, but not before he shrouded the two of them in a barrier so that only the two of them could see what he pulled out.

Karyk showed the emblem to the Envoy as he finally freed his wrist. The Envoy's pupils widened as he saw the Emblem. It was identical to his own emblem. No... It was an even superior grade.

Even amongst the Royal Emblems, there were different grades. The Envoy held the lowest grade Royal Emblem. Meanwhile the one in Karyk's hand was the second highest grade.

It was something that was only given to the Royal Family Members, Supreme Generals of the Dynasty or the Personal Shadow Guards of the Royal Emperor of Elzeria.

There was only one grade above the one that Karyk possessed. And that was personally held by the Emperor.

"This..." For the first time, the Envoy felt as if he had made a huge mistake. The Royal Family only had two girls other than the Emperor and one of that girl was dead. So he was sure Karyk wasn't a Royal Family Member.

As for Supreme Generals, they were all very popular in the Dynasty. They were supreme existences. He had seen all Supreme Generals and none of them ever tried to hide their fades. The man was sure that Karyk wasn't one of them either.

That only left one group of people... The Royal Emperor's personal guards. No one had seen the faces of those people except the Royal Emperor. Even the Shadow Guards hadn't seen each other's faces. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

In his mind, Karyk was a Shadow Guard that worked directly under the Emperor, unlike him who worked under a Supreme General. That meant Karyk was his direct superior.

He quickly retracted the dagger, not even daring to take the mask off.

"Don't you want to take off my mask now?" Karyk asked. He didn't know the thoughts in the man's head, but he was certain that the man was scared now.

Karyk didn't know if the emblem was going to reveal his identity, but the man's reaction confirmed that it wasn't the case.

"I wouldn't dare!" the man exclaimed, his face revealing true fear. He couldn't believe he had tried to see the face of a Shadow Guard.

If he had actually seen that face, let alone him but none of his men would have avoided a tragic fate. Even the Supreme General he worked for might be affected by it.

"Good." Karyk removed the barrier that had covered the two of them. He was glad that things had been solved without much complications.

"Lord Shadow, I would like to apologize for my prior actions and any inconvenience they may have caused," the man said humbly, bowing deeply to Karyk. "I assure you, it was never my intention to disturb or disrespect the Shadow Guards."

Karyk nodded, finally understanding why the man was so scared. Amongst the information he had gathered, he knew that the Shadow Guards were the most mysterious people in the entire dynasty.

They were the true force of the Elzerian Dynasty, which became even more threatening since no one knew what they looked like.

"I truly misunderstood you. I thought you were some enemy, trying to harm the plan," the Envoy stated, truly expressing his regret.

All his men watched him bow before the masked men, none understanding what had changed in a short moment.

'Plan?' Karyk frowned, wondering what plan he was talking about.
