Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
Chapter 82: Unleashed

"Can you tell us the words?" Elia asked the Teacher. Even though she was the Princess of the Empire, even she didn't know about such things that were kept by the Academy.

Noel nodded. "They are only a few words since no one dares to read the entire line now."

"Oh right. Now that I think about it," he especially focused on Gabriel. "One of the words is your name."

"The words we know from the letter are "Karyk, you unleashed..."

After speaking only three words, Noel stopped.

"Unleashed what?" Elia inquired, wondering what was unleashed and who this Karyk was. And who wrote this letter? How did it become cursed? There were so many questions in her head, and she wasn't the only one.

Even Gabriel had these questions at this point. He only knew one person who was named Karyk! The First Human God: the Origin Element of Death and Necromancy. Was 'Karyk' that this letter mentioned the one he knew?

Since this letter was a Numen, it was certain that it was written by a Demigod. But which Demigod and why? The answer was probably in the lines of the letter, but whoever read more than a certain part of the letter died. It was as if no one was supposed to know the content of this letter. Whoever did, they died.

In the Curse of this Numen, Gabriel even wondered if this letter became a Numen because of the Demigod who wrote it or because of the person that it was written to. It was also possible that Karyk kept this letter with them forever, not wanting anyone to see it, which gave this Numen a cursed characteristic.

'That shouldn't be the case. If he didn't want that letter, he would've destroyed it. It became a Numen because of someone who wanted people to read the letter and then die!'

'The one who wrote the letter addressed the letter to Karyk. Maybe the Target of the letter was him? Whoever wrote this letter... It wasn't just a letter. It was most probably a took to kill Karyk, disguised as a letter!'

Gabriel didn't know what happened in the past, so all he could do was guess, but he believed his guess was in the right direction. Even though he heard only three words, the words had the essence of hate and anger in them. He could feel it!

'The letter was written so that Karyk would read it, and then it was cursed so he would die after reading it! Whoever did it... They wanted Karyk to die, and they wanted him to know why he died! That's why the curse only works after someone reads it!'

Was this what killed Karyk? Was this letter the weapon that brought the end of Karyk's Era? Gabriel had the question but no answer. However, there was a gut feeling in his heart that Karyk couldn't be stupid enough not to sense that something was wrong with the letter.

The chances of him dying because of this letter were really low, according to him. However, it was a fierce attempt, no doubt!

"Who could've written it..." He frowned. Most people had questions about the following few words, but he had a question about the writer of this letter.

"There are actions that hurt not just the person doing them, but also those around them," Lelin lazily stated. "This letter was probably written by one who got hurt."

It appeared as if he was talking from his experience when he continued, "The deeper one looks into the past, the more they realize that it was a much darker world than one could imagine..."

Noel was about to talk about but seeing Lelin and Gabriel immersed in their own conversation; his irritation flared up again. Fortunately, he had learned his lesson from his last attempt. He just ignored them this time.

However, just as he was about to explain further, he heard footsteps behind. All the students were already there. And the Guards didn't move. It made him curious who had arrived. It was their turn in this museum today.

He straightened up and looked toward the stairs. The hall became slightly warm as a middle-aged man arrived.

The newly arrived man had blazing red hair and a powerful aura around him.

Through the man's attire, even the students here could recognize the man.

"A teacher from the House of Flames? Are we having a combined class?"

"Strange. I thought the Houses stayed out of each other's path during classes. Then again, maybe this place doesn't count as a class? In any case, it's not as bad to share a space."

"If he brought his class, where are his students? He is alone? I doubt it's for class. He's probably here for something else?"

The students started a discussion amongst themselves, wondering why he had arrived there. Each of them had a guess of their own.

The teacher from the House of Flames arrived on the second floor and stopped barely five meters away from Noel.

"Which one of these youngsters is Caen and Karyk?" The middle-aged man asked.

"Why do you want to know?" Noel frowned. "We are in the middle of the class. If it's not t-"

"I have orders from the Head Council to bring the two to them." Before Noel could even finish his sentence, the middle-aged man explained why he was here.

Before the Head Council's Orders, even Noel couldn't do anything. It was true that the two youngsters would miss the rest of the class because of this, but he had to let them go.

He also had a feeling as to what this could be about. He turned to look at the two youngsters, slightly glad that Gabriel was being taken away. That kid didn't appear interested in the class anyway.

"Karyk and Caen, you two go with him."

"Best of luck, little one." Lelin tapped Gabriel's shoulders, wishing him luck. However, it appeared as if he had another motive behind tapping Gabriel's shoulders.

Gabriel and Caen left with the red-haired man. Caen was unsure what it was about, but if it was others from above, he had to listen. Gabriel, on the other hand, knew exactly what it was about. In fact, he had a feeling that it would be coming. He just didn't expect that it would come this soon.

Even on his way out, he glanced over the entire hall once again, especially locating the Eye of Osiris. He already had the location of everyone else. And with the Eye of Osiris, which was lying in the southern portion of the room, he now knew everything that he needed for his final assault later on.
