Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

"What happened to him after that?"

A man with a similar last name as Lira had his name on the rankings. Not only did he have his name there, but he had almost clenched the first place before he had to leave the academy.

This only went on to show how strong that person really was. Gabriel couldn't help but wonder just what was that man's relationship with Lira. Was he her ancestor? That could definitely explain how Lira was so talented in the ways of magic, despite never coming to the Academy.

'Then again, she said that she is the only Dark Mage left. So her family... She might be the last person from the Elisi Family of the House of Darkness.'

"I've no idea what actually happened to him. He was most probably caught and killed by the Church of Light. It's none of our concern."

Even though Riya didn't know what happened to Qin, she wasn't interested in knowing either. For her, it happened a really long time ago. And most of the remnants of the Dark Mages were killed by now.

"Just remember this tower... Getting your name here should be your goal in the coming years. Getting their name at the tower is the legacy that the students here try to leave behind, to compare themselves with the strongest of the strongest."

"Come, let me show you another place."

Riya tapped the shoulders of Gabriel, who appeared to be immersed in reading the top names on the tower.

Following the tap of Riya, he came out of his daze. He started following Riya, realizing she was finally going in the direction he was really interested in. It was the direction where the Museum of Elements was supposed to be.

The Museum of Elements was also known as the most secure place in the entire Academy. Even the students' Dorms weren't as secure, and why shouldn't it be? The museum wasn't just an ordinary museum. It contained many special Artefacts that many people were after.

Moreover, the museum also contained the Ancestral Staff of Darkness which was the holy Grail for the Mages of Darkness. The Academy didn't want to take a risk with something so precious.

Outside the museum, there were Mages of Earth who could sense even the slightest of movement on the ground. There were also Mages of Wind assigned outside the museum of Elements to capture any enemy that tried to use the winds.

The entire Museum was surrounded. And even when students were taken inside to show them around, it was the rule to have them be accompanied by at least three teachers.

The precautions didn't end there. Even inside the Museum, there were over twenty Mages protecting the place. Most of the Mages inside were the Mages of Light and the Mages of Lightning, who could attack with much more precision without harming the Artefacts accidentally.

While following Riya, Gabriel had to walk past the entrance of the Tower. As he was walking, the door of the tower slowly opened, attracting his attention to the door.

Subconsciously, Gabriel glanced at the door. His feet froze in place as he saw the person who had just stepped out of the tower. He clenched his fists but didn't do anything.

It was a blue-haired girl who had just come out. It was the same girl he spent most of his life with. It was also the same girl who had backstabbed him when he was at his weakest. Even now, Gabriel couldn't forget that feeling of being backstabbed.

Once upon a time, his heart used to be filled with love for Maya. However, now that love had a shroud of hate covering it. He hated her... He hated her as much as he possibly could.

If only she had listened to him... If only she hadn't attacked him... He wouldn't be a fugitive to the Church of Light. She used to be his friend, yet she was the one who pushed him to the wolves.

Maya's face was down with disappointment as she kept glancing back inside.

"Only Seventh Floor. I can't be this weak... I need strength! I need more strength!"

She had attempted the tower once again; however, she couldn't even clear the seventh floor. To get to the tower, one needed to at least be in the top twelve thousand since the tower only showed twelve thousand names. However, even the last ranked person on the tower had cleared the twelfth floor.

With her only able to clear the seventh floor, she wasn't even close to getting her name on the tower.

"Hmm?" She raised her head, finally noticing Gabriel.

She could see Gabriel staring at her. She didn't understand why he was looking at her like that. She couldn't even recognize him with the illusion.

Despite not recognizing Gabriel, she didn't know why, but she still felt a strange feeling. There was a peculiar fear starting to grip her heart slowly. All because of a single gaze. It was as if a predatory beast was looking at their prey, trying to control their urge to bite the prey to death.

Lelin reached his room. Just like Gabriel, he was also told that someone was going to come to show him around. Until then, he was told to stay in the room and change into the academy attire.

Lelin locked the door from inside and walked straight to the bed. He didn't even bother changing his attire as if he had more important things to consider.

He took off his gloves as well, revealing his fair hands. On the back of his left hand, there was a mark of Light. While on his right hand, there was a beautiful white ring, contrasting the pitch black find of Gabriel. He

For most of the day, the ring was buried under his glove, making it impossible to be seen. Similarly, Gabriel's rings were hidden by his gloves for most of the day. Still, Gabriel didn't wear the gloves to hide the rings. He wore them to hide the Pitch Black Mark of Death on the back of his right hand.

There wasn't just one ring on Lelin's fingers. He was wearing three rings in total, one on his middle finger and the other two on the fingers right beside his middle finger. While one of his rings was white, the second was blue, and the third appeared to be green.

He slightly waved his hand. The blue ring started shining. Following the shine, a scroll appeared on the bed as if it appeared out of thin air.

While sitting on the bed, Lelin opened the scroll, revealing a map carved inside the scroll.

From the initial glance, it was evident that the map was the map of the Academy; however, if one was to look carefully, only then were they to realize that it wasn't all that it seemed.

The Academy also had a map of theirs. However, their map was different. Lelin's map showed many special zones that weren't visible in the map that even the Academy used.

On the map, there was one place marked as a cross, which was the most eye-catching. This was also the part of the map that Lelin was focusing on.
