Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The Empire had intensified security measures around the portal nearest to the Royal City out of concern that Karyk might attempt to flee through it.

All the Knights remained on high alert, resolute in their determination to thwart any potential security breaches and safeguard the Royal City at any cost.

Multiple layers of protection enveloped the portal. The most formidable Pureblood Generals had encircled the portal, forming a Circle under the guidance of a shadow guard.

A secondary circle was established by additional Purebloods stationed at intervals of five hundred meters from the portal.

Their protective formation left no room for even the slightest breach, rendering it impossible for anyone to get past them.

Adding an extra layer of security, a protective barrier was conjured around the area, designed to promptly alert them to any unfamiliar movements.

"Do you think he would actually come here?" One of the Generals asked the others.

"He would have to be a fool if he decides to come here," another General asked. "I believe he would try to go as far from the city as possible and hide somewhere."

"That makes more sense. That's what I would've done if I was in his place. I think it's a waste of time to worry about him attacking this place."

Most of the Generals were certain that they weren't going to be attacked. They were dealing with a person who had managed to infiltrate the Royal City and leave safely after all.

If Karyk was able to achieve so much, it was clear that he wasn't a fool. He knew about this world more than they thought. And a person like that could never make a mistake like going for the closest portal.

Almost everyone was certain that Karyk was going to go into hiding far away from the city or leave through a portal that even they weren't aware about.

However, despite knowing that they were safe, they didn't lower their Guards. A shadow guard was here, keeping an eye on them. None of them could afford to look like they were taking the threat likely.

They maintained their positions.

....

Just like that, three days passed, yet there was no movement in the vicinity. Let alone a person, even a beast wasn't sighted in the area.

Even the team sent from the Royal City had arrived and told everyone that they didn't see Karyk on the way. It was clear that Karyk hadn't targeted this place, and gone elsewhere.

At the realization, quite a few Generals were disappointed that they couldn't capture the enemy. Meanwhile the rest felt like they had already known this was going to happen.

The Shadow Guard was told to return to the Royal City. The security around the portal was reduced to its usual level, and the rest of manpower was diverted to search parties.

....

There existed a vast desert in the middle of the Royal City and the area with the closest portal.

Multiple vehicles faced through the desert, returning to the Royal City. One of these vehicles carried the Shadow Guard that was being taken back to the Royal Palace.

Half an hour after the vehicles disappeared, warm winds flew through the vast desert, carrying grains of sand into the air.

The setting sun painted the sky in hues of orange and purple, casting a beautiful glow over the land.

With the arrival of the night, the temperature in the desert decreased. The desert had gone completely silent.

The silence didn't last for long. In the middle of the night, a hand came out from the ground. Within seconds, another hand came out.

The hands were placed on the sand near them, as a person pushed himself upward, revealing his figure. As the man came out from the desert, sand trickled down his clothes.

He looked around at the vast expanse of the desert while patting his clothes. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

The man was none other than Karyk, who barely had any strength left to use his magic. He started walking towards the nearest portal, walking over what seemed like an endless desert.

With more winds, sand came flying that covered the metallic surface of the vehicle buried in the sand.

....

On the next night, Karyk finally saw a glimpse of the Elzeiran Base in the distance. He could also feel the spatial disturbance created by the portal which convinced him that he was at the right place.

The security around the portal was lax, but it wasn't weak. Just the barrier around the place alone was troublesome enough since it could alert people inside the moment he passed through the barrier.

Karyk waved his hand, calling out one of his undead.

"After half an hour, I want you to pass through the barrier," he told the Undead as he started walking towards the opposite side of the barrier.

Once again, he was going to use the same tactics he did at the Royal City, creating a distraction. He didn't know how efficient this was going to be in a place like this, but he had no choice.

He had already sacrificed a lot of his undeads and his aura reserves. At any cost, he had to pass through the portal. He couldn't afford any failures.

As half an hour passed, Karyk was already at his position. As he was connected to the undead, he saw the Undead pass through the barrier. Not only did he pass through the barrier but he also made sure to destroy it so any other presence couldn't be sensed.

The Generals stationed inside the base were alerted as soon as the barrier broke. They were shocked to find out that there was an intruder. Many even wondered if it was Karyk.

"I hope it's him! I can only imagine the kind of praise I'll receive from His Majesty when I hand his corpse over!" A General stood up, quickly rushing towards the north.

"He's mine!"

"No, he's mine! I'll be the one killing him!"

Most of the Generals grew excited. For them, Karyk was like a treasure that could lead them to new heights. All of them wanted the achievement of killing that bastard.
