Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

1043  Chapter 1043: Never forgetting the favour

Karyk's body trembled violently as the last fragments of the universe were consumed. His form began to shift, dark energy coiling around him like serpents.

The blood that he had lost previously started transforming into specks of life that were absorbed in his body.

The Watcher could hardly believe his eyes. This boy actually succeeded? But so what if he had awakened?

Even though he freed his consciousness after finishing devouring, he couldn't recover the life he had burned for that. His wounds had healed but his body was still in ruins.

From the outside, he looked completely fine but it was clear that his body on the inside was completely broken. It was like a wounded tiger who was pretending to be strong, trying to bite anyone around him even if he was dying.

With the awakening of the Angels, the Watcher thought that maybe it was for the best. Even if Karyk was free, he was in a mess and couldn't do anything against the Angels in their real bodies.

If anything, as he was right now, even angels in their false bodies could destroy Karyk, let alone the ones who had returned to their real bodies.

It was the perfect opportunity for Karyk to clash with them and realize the kind of despair that was waiting for him at the end.

Only when he realized the kind of existence he was facing and how it was impossible for him to win, could he be completely broken.

When Karyk was completely broken, they should finally sweep in and escape with him. He had already devoured the universal laws, so it was even better for them. It was as if they had received an extra surprise that benefited them.

Although it was shocking that Karyk succeeded, but they believed that it was for the better as it gave them more control over the situation.

The Watcher stopped his friend from taking Karyk away. He pulled him back, telling him to not do anything and just watch.

His friend was slightly confused but he soon realized the realm behind it. He nodded and didn't try to touch Karyk, realizing that even if he tried to help him, Karyk wasn't going to listen.

When the beast was wounded, it didn't differentiate between friends and foes. Even if they wanted to drag him away, they had to take him down first which might make him even more hateful towards them.

It was much better for him to lose his morals and beg for their help first.

The two people stepped back silently, getting away from Karyk while still maintaining a close enough proximity to be able to help him escape as soon as needed.

They couldn't defeat the Angels but when they wanted to escape, even the Angels couldn't stop them.

While standing in the back, Watcher brought out a crystal that didn't feel like it was from this world. He used the crystal to send a message, but the destination of this message remained unclear.

The Angels, now fully awakened in their true forms, stared at Karyk with a mixture of surprise and glee.

Their celestial eyes, capable of piercing through the fabric of reality, reflected the chaos swirling around Karyk. Karyk's broken body wasn't hidden from them.

"You never fail to surprise us. Then again, with your origin, it should have been expected," he said, his voice shaking the remnants of space around them.

Karyk, now enveloped in a shroud of dark energy, looked up, his eyes glowing with darkness.

"You speak as if you know me," Karyk growled, his voice distorted by the energy coursing through him.

The Angel's smile was serene but cold. "Oh, but we do. Your agony is a symphony to us. Your despair, a delicacy as that's what you deserved. And now, you stand before us, a broken instrument. It's time to take you back."

Karyk's eyes narrowed, dark energy surging around him. "Are you sure you can take me away even if you wanted to?"

The Angel's laughter echoed through the void. "Such false courage. But look at yourself, Karyk. Your body is nothing but an empty shell. You ate more than you were supposed to and destroyed yourself."

"At this point, it feels waste that we had to awaken in our real bodies just to deal with a broken child and two people who don't know their place," another angel said, its sigh echoing through the various galaxies, destroying multiple words without any intention to.

The Watcher and his companion watched from a distance, their expressions unreadable. The Watcher whispered something to his friend, his words unclear.

With a wave of his hand, the Angel summoned a wave of celestial energy, engulfing Karyk. The dark energy around Karyk clashed with the celestial energy, trying to seal his body.

Karyk screamed in agony, his body convulsing as the energies tore at him.

But even in his pain, Karyk did not give in. The Angels waved their hand, a crushing pressure descending over Karyk. It wasn't just an external pressure that was affecting his body but also something that was hurting his soul.

He could feel an agonizing pain inside his body as the space around him started sealing up. He could feel the laws of this space trying to capture him. He couldn't even offer any resistance in his current condition as there was no life essence left to burn.

He could only get more by actually devouring the people inside the universe he had devoured. However, that was also a time consuming process which didn't help him in the situation. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He glanced towards the watcher who looked like he was concerned, but it was clear that deep down he was laughing, waiting for Karyk to be broken a little more, possibly even sealed before they were to jump in and help him just like they 'helped' the young prince after he was overtaken by the abyss.

Karyk could only laugh in response, spitting out a mouthful of Blood.

"I will definitely not forget this favor," he mumbled, gathering all his remnant abyssal essence at the top of his fingers.
