Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

890 Chapter 890: More than courage

Gabriel stood outside the barrier, waiting for Karyk to return. However, only a few minutes had passed when he felt a mysterious pull. Before he could even react, portals opened before him and pulled him inside.

Stunned, he pulled out the weapon given by Karyk, believing it to be the work of Elzeirans.

As soon as he stepped out of the portal, he was prepared to strike first. It was only at the last moment that he stopped after noticing Karyk's presence here as well. There was no killing intent here either.

Still, he held Zena's hands and pulled her behind her.

"Oh, you're here as well?" Aliac asked, even more intrigued that someone as cautious as Gabriel had brought his sister and everyone else along.

"Weren't you supposed to be in the Upper Realm?" he asked, slightly surprised.

The reason Gabriel hadn't entered Elzeira was because he had to protect Zena. That's why he stayed behind in the upper realm. Someone as cautious as him was willingly arriving on earth?

Karyk had remained silent in the back, but the moment Ryder brought Gabriel and his sister here, his eyes flashed heavy killing intent. The sky above the mansion darkened and the roaring of thunder could occasionally be heard.

Cracks started developing around the barrier that enveloped this area, overwhelmed by Karyk's aura even though he hadn't taken action.

"It seems you care a lot for them." Ryder could feel the barrier weakening. Even though there was a seal on the spatial movement, he was free from that seal.

He could bring anyone here or send anyone outside as he was the owner of this barrier. But Karyk's aura was just as strange. Even though he was inside the sealed space, he was showing that he was able to break this barrier at any moment.

"Since we're interested in each other's family, let me help you out as well." Karyk's words echoed in the hall as the barrier finally shattered.

Karyk raised his right hand, multiple portals opening before him. More people arrived in the hall, as if mysteriously pulled out of the void. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

Seeing the people, Ryder's brows furrowed. Amongst the people were his wives, his daughter and his son Nyx... The one whose fate was in conflict with Karyk, Gabriel and Caen.

Just as Ryder had brought Karyk's family inside this hall from outside the barrier, Karyk did the same. His actions were even more surprising since Ryder's family wasn't even in this city.

Since Aliac had been coming to this place a lot, for their safety, Ryder had let them stay in another city. Only a few people knew about their whereabouts.

Aliac looked back and forth between Karyk and Ryder. He could feel that the atmosphere was tense. Although they had come to a deal, it was as if they were walking on a thin piece of wire.

A single mistake and everything could fall apart, especially since both of them had reached their hands out to the other's family.

"Father...?" Ryder's daughter asked, looking around in confusion.

"It's fine. There's nothing to worry about," Gabriel comforted his family.

With a wave of his hand, he brought his family behind him. However, only he knew just what kind of thoughts he was hiding within his heart.

He had already seen Gabriel and the others who were outside the barrier. The only reason he brought them here was to show Karyk that he knew about them. He hadn't expected Karyk to do something like this.

Aliac scratched the back of his head. He thought Ryder was stubborn, but he had forgotten that Karyk was no different. Both of them were like dragons and their families were their reverse scale.

When Ryder's child was kidnapped by heaven, he had gone there to wage a war directly. Meanwhile when Karyk's family had died, he had started walking down the path of becoming the ruler of death.

"Hello, Sister-in-law. We meet again." Aliac tried to break the tense atmosphere by speaking first.

He greeted Ryder's family respectfully. Normally, mortals weren't worth his attention, but these mortals were related to someone special.

"I was just telling Ryder that I bought some gifts for you. The last time I came here, I didn't bring any. So I wanted to give you some gifts personally."

He made up a story, making them believe that it was Ryder who brought them here, so they didn't worry.

Ryder also agreed as he didn't want his family to think much about it. He didn't want to tell them that they were forcefully brought here.

Aliac even gave a few gifts from the upper realm to Ryder's wives. He gave a fruit of longevity to his daughter. And lastly, he gave a treasure sword to his son Nyx.

"Huh?" As soon as he gave the sword to Nyx, he grew slightly surprised. He hadn't noticed it before, but when he came in contact with Nyx, he noticed something strange.

Nyx possessed Divinity that his sister didn't. He didn't just possess Divinity, but he was brimming with it. It was as if he was born with the blessing of heaven.

"Now that you have given them a gift, you can step back," Ryder chimed in, telling Aliac to step back.

Aliac nodded, still thinking about it in the back of his head. Ryder also told his family that they could return to their rooms and that there was no need to leave now.

Ryder sent his wives and his daughter back, only keeping his son Nyx behind. At the same time, he observed Karyk's expressions to see if he was revealing any hostility towards Nyx.

He wanted to see if Karyk knew anything about the fate between them. However, seeing the expressions of the young boy, he understood that wasn't the case yet. Only a few people knew about something like this after all.

"You are quite courageous," Ryder told Karyk after his family returned to their rooms.

"Try touching my family again and I will show you more than just my courage..." Karyk's voice echoed in the hall.
