Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
Chapter 931: You want to live mine?

Everyone watched the Elzeiran Empress kill herself. None could stop her. She was more scared of what was coming than she was of them. It made all of them wonder just what could have scared her so much. "This is getting dangerous. You three should leave." Karyk told the others. With the Elzeiran leadership dead, the war was as good as over. Earth was safe, but that was only as long as the Archangels didn't follow them back. Someone needed to stay behind. And he wanted to be that person. "I don't know who is coming. And in this world, I have more of a free reign since I can recover my essence faster. You should leave."

Gabriel didn't agree with Karyk this time. "Listen to me. If the enemy is weak, I can stop him. And if the enemy is strong enough to kill me, none of your three would be of any help."

Karyk didn't want to drag their universe into this mess. He had a rough idea about the person that was coming. He also knew who the Elzeirans were looking for. Although he didn't want to believe it in the past, but he had long known this truth. He appeared in the Abyss at around the same time that the Celestial Empire was destroyed. The Celestial Empire was destroyed because the Archangels were looking for a child. He was taken by Chaos and sent to his new home. And ever since then, the Elzeirans had been trying to enter their world. For many, it was a mystery. No one knew who created the seal around their universe that stopped Elzeirans from entering. Karyk had a rough idea. There was only one person who could do that. And it was Chaos, the same man who brought him out of the Abyss. He had long known that he wasn't a human. He wasn't a god either. He wasn't born in Abyss but still he survived there. He was a being that wasn't supposed to exist, yet he did. He wasn't born in the Celestial Empire either. But still, the Celestial Empire didn't give him up. They were scared of something more than they were scared of the Archangels. Even at the time of their extinction, they didn't give up on the child. It was the same kind of fear that the Elzeiran Empress had for the one who was coming. Just like she was scared of the Archangels, the Celestial Empire was scared of someone who scared them more than the Archangels. Karyk didn't know why that person didn't interfere when the Celestial Empire was destroyed. Was he dead? But even then, his fear lived. The Celestial Empire was brought to ruins, but they didn't let the Archangels get what they wanted. The Elzeirans wanted one thing. The Archangels wanted one thing. It was the child... It was him. Even though Gabriel was created from his essence, it wasn't the same. He was the child, and Gabriel was an entirely different being. So Karyk was sure that Gabriel wasn't going to be targeted if he left. "It doesn't matter. I am fighting with you!"

"Don't be stubborn! It's my fight! From now on, it has nothing to do with our universe! The person is coming for me and only me!"

Gabriel and Karyk entered into an argument as Gabriel didn't agree. "How do you know he is coming for you?!"

"Because this entire war began because of me! And only I can end it!"

"If you stayed behind, you would only become my weakness! Don't forget, that world is your home! Our family... Your family is there! Zena is there!"

Karyk could feel the enemy getting closer. Even as he was coming from the other corner of the continent, his speed was very fast. At most, he could get here in a few minutes. "Did you forget that I am immortal?! I have the blood of Elzeirans! You are weaker now! You will die if you stayed here!"

"It doesn't matter if you are immortal. There are always ways to counter immortality, just like Elzeirans could be killed!"

You never know what the enemy could do! And even if I am not a true immortal, I am no less than an immortal! If I leave, this will never end!"

"Today, it's one person. Tomorrow, a thousand will come. How many wars will our world have to face? Just their presence alone will destroy our universe!"

"I still can't listen to you!"

"Stop being stubborn! Think about Zena. Do you want her to die because you were stubborn? I have lived my life. I have lived more lives than you can imagine! Even if I die, it's worth it!"

"But you... You haven't even lived your own life enough, why do you want to live mine? Leave, and live the life that I couldn't! Give Zena the happiness that she deserves!"

"You!"

Gabriel clenched his fist, clearly seeing how Karyk was trying to emotionally manipulate him. "Also, you three have more important things to do!" Before Gabriel could say anything, Karyk continued. "This world is weak now. It should be possible to seal the portals again if you three combine your powers. So return and seal the portals before this world is destroyed and take our world with it!"

The cracks in this world were increasing and it wasn't hidden from anyone. The fight with the Shadow Guards had already brought this world on a verge of destruction, and now... Another presence was making it worse. "If all of us fight here, then what's the point of winning if this world and ours is destroyed because it can't bear the burden?!"

"You three must close the portals and cut the connection! If you don't, you won't have anything to return to!"

Ryder had been silent all this time, but he could see that Karyk was telling the truth. If this world was destroyed before they could seal the portals, then Earth was also going to be destroyed. His family was back on earth. "I am returning."
