Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 951: The Key

He couldn't help but think of the worst. "The Children of Heaven... Can you describe what they look like?"

"Most of them look very different. Some of them look like you when it comes to physique. The others look like completely different Species," the Mother Whale answered. "A group consisting of various species?"

Karyk frowned. He did not know much about the Archangels. He only had Aexin as a reference. Was it possible that every Archangel looked like they were part of a different species? That looked highly unlikely. The statues also possessed a humanoid form with wings after all. It also did not make sense for them to work with different Species when they considered themselves Overlords. 'Could it be that the ones here are not Archangels, but still related to them?'

He thought back to the Elzeirans. They were also related to the Elzeirans and knew a lot. But they were slaves of the Archangels. Even if the beings here were not Archangels, they could still be related to them. Just to confirm his suspicions, he asked again, "Did they have wings?"

The Mother Whale nodded. "Some of them did have wings. But they did not look like you. They looked more like beasts. The ones who looked like you did not have wings."

Karyk could only nod in response. If that was the case, he could at least relax a little. As long as they weren't Archangels, he had an opportunity to find a way to recover. 'The Archangels probably still do not know that I'm here. The longer it stays that way, the better it is for me.'

He did not know how he ended up in this world. Was it actually a coincidence that he was back to the source of the so-called key that Archangels wanted?

He wasn't sure. But it looked less like a coincidence for him. It was as if someone had planned it. "Did you ever see any Child of Heaven who looked like me, and had wings?" Karyk asked again. "Think carefully."

The Mother Whale shook her head. "I did not. But it's possible for there to be someone like that. It's possible for me to not know, since I did not see them all. I only saw the ones who attacked us."

Karyk also realized it. Just because she did not see it, did not mean that an Archangel had never arrived in this world. The Mother Whale could not leave the Ocean. Even if she could leave, he was certain she wouldn't have done that, thanks to fear. Even if an Archangel had ever arrived here, they were probably treated like Royalty. They wouldn't be made to come here, just for interrogation of these beings that they considered lowly species. He knew that this world was still like a landmine for him. But it also came with a great opportunity. It was a place that the Archangels wanted. Even if he couldn't find anything here, as long as he found a way to use his abilities here, he could at least screw over those bastards by destroying all the remnants of that Civilization. He might even destroy this entire world to ruin their plans. They hadn't found anything, despite such a long time having passed. But that did not mean they couldn't find anything here. The only way to make sure it did not happen was by destroying this world altogether. As for the Oceanic Species, he could save a few by taking them to his universe. For those things, one thing was most important. He needed to be able to use his abilities. For that, there was only one way. "I want to go to the Land of that Forgotten Civilization. Can you take me there?"

"I..." The Mother Whale looked hesitant. Although she told him she was going to help him, she still did not want to go near the land where she could come across them. "Do you have to go there?"

"If I want to kill them, I need to free myself. If it's caused by the Civilisation, I can only find a solution by going there," Karyk explained. If it wasn't so far away, he would have gone there himself. Unfortunately, it was going to take years to reach that place if he used an ordinary boat. "I know you might be scared of them. But are you really going to live this? Are you really going to forget what they did?" He pushed forward. "This might be your last opportunity to have revenge. If you give up now because you are scared, how long until they return for your family?"

"If you are scared, how long can you guarantee your safety? How long can you protect your son? How long can you protect your home?"

He knew it was wrong to do this, but it was the only thing he could do without his strength. He could only use her emotions to make her help him. "Just because you go there, doesn't mean they will notice you. We can enter the land without being caught. All you need to do is get me there. I can handle the rest myself."

"After taking me there, you can return to your son. I won't force you to walk the land with me. But in the end, the choice is yours." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Will you take your fate in your own hands? Or will you live at the mercy of the people that took your everything?"

The Mother Whale was truly scared. But she wasn't scared for herself. She was scared for her son. If she went to the surface and was caught, she might be killed. But that wasn't all. Her child might be dragged in this as well. It wasn't just her life that was on the line.

Even if her child wasn't dragged in this mess, who was going to protect him if she died?

Most of the Whale Species had died in the massacre. Only she had managed to survive. There was no one else to take care of her son. "I know how alluring the thought of giving up can be. But if you give up now, you might lose more than you will protect. So, will you come with me?"
