Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Gabriel looked at Karyk suspiciously. "Are you certain you had nothing to do with it?"

Karyk rolled his eyes. "Although it's true that I was present here when the temple broke, I really had nothing to do with it."

"In any case, the temple was very old. The walls were already covered in cracks before I even entered. It's not a surprise that it fell apart on its own," he further added. "Did you find anything inside?" Gabriel asked, wondering what kind of temple it was that even the pirates were advised to never approach it. There wasn't much information about it in the memories of the pirate. The young man had joined the pirates not long ago. He hadn't been to this island when the temple existed. All he had heard were the warnings. "There was just an old statue inside. I think the statue broke at the same time as the temple," Karyk explained, as he looked back at the last time he was here. He was also very curious about the temple. At that time, he didn't know much about this world. He also didn't know why a Temple like this was created in a place like this. But after staying in this world for some time, he came to know quite a few things. Amongst the information he had gathered, there was one about the existence of a similar Temple inside the Royal Palace. He wanted to check it the last time he was here, but in the end, he had to leave. At that time, he wasn't sure whose statues were inside the Temple. But thanks to the fragments of the memories of the Celestial Empress, he was able to learn a few things. During her era, there weren't any temples like this in this world. However, he did remember the last bits of her memories before he was forced out. The girl had gone to tell her father that she had learned a new skill. But her father was busy talking to someone. She only looked at her father through the crack in the door. From there, she saw the back of the person her father was talking to. It was a creature that looked neither human, nor the demon. He wasn't like any species she had known. The being had angel like wings, and two horns protruding from their head. Karyk wanted to find out more about the person and why he came in contact with the Celestial Emperor. What did the Celestial Emperor refuse him for? What was the Archangel asking?

Was it because of the rejection that the Archangels sent the Elzeirans to this world? If they were really that strong, why did they send the Elzeirans instead of directly destroying the Celestial Empire?

There were a lot of questions in his mind. However, there was barely any answer. All he knew was that the statues inside those temples had similar features to the archangel who he saw in the Celestial Empress' memories. He couldn't help but wonder if the temples had been created by the Elzeirans. It made sense if they made one in the Royal Palace, but why did they create one in such a faraway island?

Was it really a coincidence that the portal connecting to the Central World had opened on this island?

He wasn't even sure why the statue broke in his presence. The temple was certainly in a bad condition, filled with cracks. But the statue was completely intact. It looked as good as new. He was clear that the statue didn't break because the temple broke. Instead, it was as if the temple broke because the statue broke in his presence. He didn't tell such things to Gabriel, mainly because he himself didn't understand it properly. He didn't want Gabriel to worry about the same thing. "What kind of statue was it?" Gabriel asked, bringing Karyk out of his daze. "Just some weird statue," Karyk answered vaguely. "Since it's broken, there's not much use talking about it."

"I just asked because when I was a guest of the Royal Army, I also heard something about a temple. It was said that only the Royal Emperor was allowed to enter the temple," Gabriel responded, feeling as if Karyk was hiding something. "Unfortunately, I wasn't able to gather more information. So it's interesting to know that there was also a temple here, which was special in its own ways."

Although he felt that there was something that Karyk wasn't telling him, he didn't insist. He knew that when needed, he was going to be informed about this. For now, he only had to focus on setting up a base. He had to take care of the pirates. .... Novel Fire - novelfire.net

Soon, the two of them reached the shore of the Island. In the distance, they could also see a vast pirate ship moving towards them. They could fly to the ship directly, but they decided to wait as that was what ordinary pirates did. "They should take us to the person in charge of the invasion. Since that person is hiding this secret from the Sea King, we might be able to take advantage of the situation," Gabriel told Karyk while waving his hand at the Pirate Ship. "Are you saying that we should seperate?" Karyk asked. "That's no point in separating." Gabriel shook his head. "I'm saying that we should come up with a nice story so we can get close to the person."

"That's correct. Through him, we should be able to get to the Sea King." Karyk nodded. It wasn't often the two of them worked together in such a manner. But he felt that it wasn't bad. ....

The Pirate Ship stopped near the island. A pirate from the ship landed on the Island. He didn't even ask for the identification token. Instead, he stepped closer and hugged the both of them. "You are back faster than I thought," the Pirate stated. "I still saved some wine for you!"

He placed his arms around Karyk and Gabriel's neck before flying towards the ship. "We would be drinking all night long! I won't accept any excuses!"
