Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

1065  Chapter 1065: Extinct

"I am Aelric Drike," the young man said, keeping his sword at his side before reaching out his hand, which was stained with the angel's blood. Karyk didn't care about the blood on the man's hand. While it might be considered impolite to not even clean the blood before shaking someone's hand, in this place, he wasn't sure what counted as proper etiquette and what didn't.

"It seems my family has finally arrived," Aelric said, looking into the distance after the handshake, feeling the trembling of the space. One by one, multiple warships appeared to have warped through space, surrounding the entire area. The entire space passage was sealed off as a battlefield.

A warning signal was sent by the warships. Anyone who approached this place would be considered an enemy of the Drike Family.

Karyk had thought that the ships in which the young man was traveling had been large. Now that the warships of the Drike Family had arrived, that ship looked like a child in comparison. Not only were these ships large but they were also weapons made for war. There were energy beans that had gathered all over the ship, as if ready to fire at a moment's notice. Even though the beams hadn't attacked yet, the strength behind them could still be felt from the distance. If all these ships attacked at the same time, even the remnants of an angel could not be found. From the ship in the lead, a man came out, his entire body being covered in a golden armor. The man carried a bloody aura as if he had been through thousands of such battlefields, destroying a multitude of enemies. The man observed the surroundings. He saw the body of an angel that was sliced in two. There was another body which was sliced in even smaller parts, floating across the space. On the grin face of the man, a smile appeared as he saw the scene. He had wasted time by coming here even though he wasn't needed here. Still, he didn't feel like it was a waste as he saw the scene. It was clear that the two angels were killed by his nephew which was impressive for his age. It was evident that his nephew was quite talented. "Uncle." Aelric approached the middle aged man, followed by Karyk who was observing the middle aged man with great curiosity. Although the man didn't feel as strong as the Lords that he had seen, he still felt a sense of danger when getting close to the man. It was as if something inside his body was alerting him about the threat that the man could possess. At the same time, the greed inside his heart also arose. He could only control the urge of devouring the man, especially since he was helpful for him. Moreover, he was not strong enough to kill the man. He couldn't let the man sense even the slightest of murderous intent from him. Karyk even tried to avoid looking at him while reminding himself that there were better delicacies in this world. "Couldn't you leave one for me?" The middle-aged man scolded Aelric.

Aelric, who had been like a fierce warrior when faced with the Angels, appeared like a child for the first time.

In his eyes, Karyk could see great respect towards this man. It wasn't simply because he was family either.

"What would one do for you? It wouldn't even be enough to warm you up," Aelric answered. "Also, I didn't know that you would be the one coming. If I had, I might have considered it."

"Just considered?" The middle-aged man flicked Aelric's forehead, sending him flying back a few feet. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"That hurt!" Aelric rubbed his forehead and glared at his uncle, but he wasn't quite surprised by this behavior.

He knew that if his uncle seriously wanted to attack him, one flick would have been enough to leave a crack on his skull.

More than the punishment for killing both the Angels alone, that flick was the punishment for leaving home without guards. It's just that his uncle didn't say that outright. "Who is that friend behind you? It's been a long time since I saw one of these extinct species. To think that one would still be alive?"

The middle aged man simply disappeared and appeared behind Karyk, his fingers brushing against the fairy-like wings of Karyk. Feeling the man's fingers on his wings, Karyk was quite concerned about being exposed. Even though the wings were based on real characteristics, it was also true that they weren't actually a part of his body. He was even more worried about the man seeing through his disguise and all those marks that were covering his body. "Strange. From what I know, fairies used to be smaller. Has there been an evolution?" the man asked, making Karyk relax a little. It was clear that the man couldn't see through the disguise which was a Bloodline Ability of the fairies. As he was using the abilities of fairies, it didn't create any noticeable fluctuations either. He didn't answer the man's question, letting him come to his own conclusions as he had already done. Since the man suggested evolution, it was evident that this wasn't a shocking concept to believe. This also gave Karyk a good identity to possess. He was the remnant of an extinct species. As the man's reaction was less of a shock and more of a surprise, Karyk grew certain that the species he was confusing him with was not a strong one. That was even better. The only attention he caught was because he was from an extinct species but as the species wasn't anything special, it was also still not enough to leave splashes across this world. Moreover, the Drike Family didn't have time to worry about him. They were in a war now. Aelric was also surprised when his uncle mentioned an extinct species. He thought it was some species that he didn't know about, not realizing that it was even more special. He explained everything that happened to his uncle, including how Karyk helped him.
