Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

He was invited by the Emperor many times in the past, but every time, he was scared of the Emperor. It was because he had seen how strong the Emperor was.

The Emperor was the most dangerous Pureblood in the Elzeiran Empire.

Usually, the Sea King couldn't even dare to test the strength of the Elzeiran Empire, worried that the Emperor might capture him instead.

However, this time, he was sure that the Emperor wasn't going to do it. Even if the Emperor was strong, he probably wasn't going to fight because he was saving strength for the war that was to come.

The Emperor had a bigger enemy, so the Sea King was certain that even if he came now, the Emperor wasn't going to pay as much attention as he would have given him in the past.

Still, the Sea King was careful and respectful. He didn't create much trouble and followed the General, who was much weaker than him.

"Whether it happened or not, I'm afraid it's not for the Sea King to be worried about."

The Sea King was waiting for the General to answer him, but he heard another voice that came from behind him.

He was surprised. He hadn't even noticed the presence of another person getting so close to him. It was only when the man spoke that the Sea King sensed him.

He turned around, noticing a dark robed man standing behind him. The man had a mask on his face, from which only his eyes were visible.

Although the Sea King couldn't see the face of the person, he was sure about this man's identity. There was only a single group in the Royal Palace who wore masks like these.

"To think that a Shadow Guard came to welcome me." The Sea King smiled in response. " I must say, I feel honored."

Although the Sea King talked as if he was grateful, his voice didn't carry any sense of gratitude. These were just fake words.

If anything, he was even more suspicious now. Just why were so many influential people invited here? Usually, the Emperor wouldn't have sent a Shadow Guard for someone like him. He should've been insignificant for the Emperor.

He felt that the rumors might have been true. The Emperor was truly weaker now! If he wasn't, he wouldn't have been so cautious. Still, the Sea King didn't come to a conclusion. It was just a theory after all.

While the Sea King was engaging with the Shadow Guard, a woman had arrived at the entrance of the Royal City, accompanied by the Puppet Master who had disguised as the City Lord of the Celestial City.

After checking the invitation of the Puppet Master, the guards allowed him and the Celestial Empress to pass through. The two of them entered the city with more ease than they expected.

"So this is the city established by the invading bastards..." the Puppet Master muttered under his breath, his eyes scanning the surroundings with a mix of curiosity and disdain.

The Celestial Empress, on the other hand, maintained a composed and regal demeanor, her gaze fixed ahead as they made their way deeper into the city.

As they walked through the bustling streets, the Puppet Master couldn't help but notice the stark contrast between the Elzeiran Empire and their own Celestial City.

Even when their Celestial Empire used to be prosperous, their Royal City wasn't like this.

The architecture, the people, even the atmosphere felt different. It was a constant reminder of the power dynamics at play, and the reason they were here.

The city was filled with powerful people. They hadn't even reached near the Royal Palace, yet they could still feel many powerful auras...

No matter where they looked, they could find Purebloods. If anything, it was harder to find a mixed blood in the Royal City than a pureblood.

It was no wonder the Royal City was called the strongest City in the Elzeiran Empire.

Seeing this city and this kind of strength, the Puppet Master was even more certain that Karyk couldn't have escaped from this city. He was sure that the boy was caught!

Fortunately, the Emperor still didn't know that the border city had fallen. Thanks to the Emperor's invitation, they had a golden opportunity, one that they couldn't afford to miss.

If they played their cards right, they could find Karyk and help him escape in exchange for him accepting the Slave Seal. If they were lucky enough, they might even use him to kill the Emperor after freeing him.

In any case, they had a great opportunity here. It was the best first outing for the Celestial Empress after her freedom.

However, they had to be cautious as any misstep could have dire consequences.

As they approached the Royal Palace, the Puppet Master and the Celestial Empress were met by a group of guards. Novel Fire - novelfire.net

The guards, adorned in the Emperor's royal colors, looked at them with a mix of curiosity.

The Puppet Master handed over the invitation, and after a brief inspection, they were allowed to advance towards the Royal Palace where all the important guests had started gathering.

Along the way, the Puppet Master observed the sea of influential figures from various factions, all gathered in one place. Most of them were being escorted by the Knights. And only a rare few had received a General as their escort.

It was a delicate balance of power, each person carefully watching the others.

The Puppet Master's eyes soon fell upon the Sea King, who was engrossed in conversation with the Shadow Guard.

The Sea King's presence alone commanded attention, and it was clear that he held significant influence in his own right. The man was not only accompanied by a General, but there was a hooded figure next to him who was even stronger than a General!

The Puppet Master made a mental note to keep an eye on this guy, realizing that this man was dangerous.

Feeling as if someone was looking at him, the Sea King frowned as he turned around. His gaze fell on the Puppet Master.
