The Ancestral Staff of Darkness had appeared in Gabriel's hand which was shocking in itself, let alone what Gabriel was trying to do next.
After the first Ancestral Staff appeared, the light in the surrounding dinner but it wasn't enough. It was only when Gabriel started bringing forth the Ancestral Staff of Necromancy that the Holy Priests felt suppression.
They were the Holy Priests! When they lived, they were the mighty existences that no one could offend! If anything, it was the others who bowed before them to get their favor. Even though they weren't as strong now since it wasn't their real bodies, but to be suppressed to this extent was shocking to them as well.
"This kid..." The second Holy Lord grimaced. "How can he have the Ancestral Staff of Darkness? Is he a Holy Lord of Darkness? In that case, how could he be selected by the Holy Grimoire of Light? Just what is his identity?!"
The Third Holy Lord's brows rose as his expressions darkened. "More than the Ancestral Staff of Darkness, I'm concerned about what he's trying to do now! For some reason, I feel fear... A fear I never felt before! Should we stop him?"
"Don't stop him!" the first Holy Lord exclaimed. "I want to see more!"
Even though she also felt concerned, she still wanted to see just what this kid was capable of!
When Gabriel asked them to make a Heavenly Oath, everyone assumed that Gabriel was just being childish. However, at this point, they all realized that there was more to it! The young boy had many hidden secrets inside him!
The space trembled. The Holy Region was strong, but even it wasn't enough to contain the strength of what Gabriel was trying to call forth! The Ancestral Staff of Necromancy had never made an appearance since the era of Gods after all! At least for the Holy Lords of Light!
"You are the heir of Darkness?!" The Ninth Holy Lord coldly exclaimed. "Good! Very good! Previously I was thinking about only hurting you badly! But now, I'll destroy your complete soul! You won't be the first Holy Lord of Darkness to die at my hands after all!"
"Come, accept your death!" All the Clones of the Ninth Holy Lord flew toward Gabriel. The real Ninth Lord was also hiding in the clones.
"Argh!"
Thunder crackled in the sky as all the clones of the Ninth Lord dropped to their knees under the heavy suppression as soon as they reached closer to Gabriel! A new Ancestral Staff appeared in Gabriela hand... The Ancestral Staff of Necromancy.
The secret realm that was created for this battle shattered before the might of the Ancestral Staff of Darkness. Everyone appeared back in the middle of the Stone Slabs.
Gabriel was still standing in the center. However, the Ninth Holy Lord was sitting on his knees, unable to even stand up! At least he was still lucky enough! All his clones couldn't even survive. His clones were destroyed just by the pressure alone.
Gabriel coldly looked at the man before him. Initially, the man was just fighting. But in the end, he had outright spoken that he was going to kill Gabriel!
The other Holy Lords stood near their stone slabs. They all looked at the Ancestral Staff of Necromancy, only to be frightened!
They didn't recognise what this Ancestral Staff was since they never saw it before. Let alone recognising it, they couldn't even look at the Ancestral Staff of Necromancy!
The first Holy Lord was breathing heavily, as her entire body was covered in sweat. She had tried to probe the Ancestral Staff of Necromancy.
Unfortunately, as soon as she looked at the Ancestral Staff of Necromancy, she felt as if her soul was about to be sucked inside the Ancestral Staff! She felt that she couldn't even offer any resistance! She barely managed to take her eyes off the Ancestral Staff!
None of them realized that the Ancestral Staff of Necromancy was invincible before Souls! The Necromancer dealt with souls and the undead after all! No matter how strong they were, they weren't in their real bodies! Before the Ancestral Staff of Necromancy, they were like little chickens sitting on a chopping block.
Gabriel hadn't even called out his Grimoire yet and the battle was already over which came as a little surprise to him as well. He felt as if he had really overestimated these Holy Lords by calling the Ancestral Staff of Necromancy and that the Ancestral Staff of Darkness was enough!
"Y-you! Don't act reckless!" The Ninth Lord roared, noticing Gabriel looking at him, as if he was trying to think how to kill!
"If you do anything to me, you will sever the path for all the future generations of the Holy Lords of Light! The Goddess will never allow it!" he exclaimed. "No matter who you are, before the Goddess, you would be nothing! Don't make her take action!"
"The Goddess of Light?" Gabriel asked. "Is she alive?!"
"Alive?" The Ninth Holy Lord scoffed. "You're just a little frog at the bottom of the well! I don't know where you got the Ancestral Staff from, but don't overestimate himself! Before the gods, all your effort is futile! You can't go against Heaven!"
"Is that so..." Gabriel muttered. He stepped closer to the Ninth Holy Lord who felt confident that Gabriel wasn't going to kill him! Killing him was the same as offending the Goddess after all! All the Holy Lords had an important role for the future after all!
"You're saying I'll be going against Heaven if I kill you?" Gabriel asked when there was only half a meter of distance between him and the Ninth Holy Lord.
At this closeness, the suppression acting on the Ninth Holy Lord was even stronger than before! He couldn't even raise his hand anymore.
Despite that, the Ninth Holy Lord was still as haughty.
"That's right! Before a god, you're nothing but a small blade of grass that they can trample on anytime! So don't go overboard!" The Ninth Holy Lord roared. "You want my approval? I'll give you! Just retreat, apologize to me and abandon the path of Darkness!"
"Do I need your approval?" Gabriel asked. "I've already received all the approval. Yours isn't needed anymore."
He didn't care what they meant by the future path of the Holy Lords being obstructed if one of them died. It was none of his concern. Why should he care what happened to the lineage of the Holy Priests of Light!
"And as far as me offending Heaven is considered, you think I care?" he asked, not having a single shred of fear in his eyes. "The moment I walked on this path, I'd already stopped caring about my life and death!"
" I don't have friends! I don't have a family! I don't have anyone in this world who will cry over my death or miss me! I don't have anything in this world to be scared for!
"If Heaven wants to go against me, they are welcome to try! If your goddess wants to trample me, she is welcome to try! No matter who tries to kill me, I'll slaughter them!"
"I have no gratitude and no hate. The ones who don't stand in my path will live. The ones who stand in my path will die whether it be gods, Demons or the Heaven itself..."
Usually, Gabriel wasn't that impulsive. He generally wouldn't have bothered with the Ninth Holy Lord or go this far. However, for some reason, his emotions were in turmoil at the moment!
He held the two Ancestral Staffs in his hands while standing in the Holy Region of Light, feeling some indescribable feeling. There was some hidden anger... Some unfulfilled desires... Some rage... Some sadness... Even he couldn't understand what he was feeling.
"Even if I'm nothing but a blade of grass before a god, this single blade of grass will go against Heaven if they try to suppress me! This single blade of grass will become the bloody sword that slaughters them all!"
