Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Karyk opened the window after erasing all traces of his presence. His body transformed into a shadow as he jumped outside, traveling like a ghost through the night.

The number of people keeping an eye on the mansion was already very high, and the number of protective formations was even higher.

Despite that, he traveled through their blind spots, able to see every formation, a feat impossible for most. Even when a formation caught him, he reversed time by a few seconds and took a different route.

After two hours, he returned to the mansion via the same route. He entered using the window and closed it behind him.

Once inside the room, he dismissed the maids, their bodies covered in sweat.

They stepped out, accompanied by Karyk, who had his arms around their waists. He revealed his face to the other servants, creating witnesses to prove he had been here all this time.

He walked to the main hall and told the servants to prepare drinks for him, as he was out of them in his room. He sat in the hall and started drinking until he passed out on the couch.

He spent the rest of the night in a place where the servants could easily know his whereabouts, making sure that they thought he had passed out.

He also took this opportunity to rest a little, working really hard within the last two hours.

It was only with the arrival of the morning, that he slowly opened his eyes. He stood up and stretched his arms, yawning his heart out.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked the maid, who was looking at him strangely. "Do you want something?"

It was one of the maids that he had brought to his rooms, giving her the illusion that he had actually done something to her.

"N-nothing." The Maid panicked, grabbing the hem of her skirt tightly.

Seeing her reaction, Karyk understood what she was thinking. She was worried that he might do something to her again, even though he hadn't done anything to her in the first place.

"Then stop standing there like a statue." He walked past the maid. On the way, clothes materialized around his body. "I am going out for a walk."

He was curious why he couldn't hear any commotion, even though he intentionally woke up later to give this city enough time to react. But still, it was so silent that he found it suspicious.

Boom~

He was near the door when he heard a loud explosion, which made the ground itself tremble.

'Looks like they found out.' he thought, the corner of his lips creeping up.

For the servants of this house, he had a very eventful night last night. But even they didn't know just how eventful his night actually was.

The entire city had woken up to shocking news. Last night, two people were killed in the city. And the two of them were no ordinary people either.

The first person killed was a Minister of the Empire. The second person who had died was a Duke of the Empire, who had arrived here to attend a birthday celebration.

Other than the two deaths, there were also a few disappearances, which included the daughter of the Drike Family. No one knew if they were even alive or dead, as no bodies were found.

Karyk stepped out of the mansion in a hurry, looking just as confused as ever. He saw a cloud of fire in the distance, coming from the nearby mansion that belonged to the Angelic Clan.

"What is this commotion?" He landed before the Angelic Clan Mansion, where a lot of people had already gathered.

The door of the mansion was blasted open, and the Drike Family Patriarch was the person who made it happen. He was fuming, not even trying to hide his rageful killing intent.

"Where is my daughter?" he roared, tossing another attack at the mansion of the Angelic Clan.

The Guardian of the Angelic Clan Prince blocked the attack, before asking, "We told you that we had nothing to do with you! Why do you keep blaming us? If the Empire wants to frame us, then do they really need to go this far?"

Even though the Guardian of the Angelic Clan wasn't in his real form, he was still able to block the attack, albeit barely. Just blocking a single attack, had made cracks develop in the hands of his mortal body.

Even he knew that he couldn't block another attack. If he did, then his mortal body was completely going to break.

He could only arrive with his real body to stop this man, but even then, it wasn't easy since the Drike Family Patriarch was almost as strong as the Angelic Lord.

Not just the Drike Family, but there were also other Ducal Families that were just as vengeful when they looked at the Angelic Clan.

"What is happening here?" Karyk exclaimed, unable to hide his confusion. Looking at his face, no one could have guessed that this was all his doing.

Not only had he killed those two people, but he had also kidnapped the descendants of a few others while leaving the signs of the struggle with the angelic clan.

He did everything possible to guide the wrath of the Empire on the Angelic Clan. All he had to do was stand back and watch as the Angelic Clan was attacked, leading to a large-scale conflict.

Despite that, he didn't stay behind. He knew that just the conflict with one clan was not enough. He needed to pour more oil in the flames, and what better than the clan of the Time Lord.

Since no one could link the deaths to him, he was the innocent person here. Once he was attacked, then all gloves were off between the two sides.

'The Empire is preparing for a war with the Angelic Lords, and want me to side with them. They offer me peace, but peace is the exact thing that I don't want. You threatened me with a war. I will give you an earlier war.'

Karyk flew to the heart of the conflict, and landed next to the Angelic Prince.
