Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 1044: The Missed Exit



1044  Chapter 1044: The Missed Exit

Karyk, on the brink of collapse, felt the last remnants of his abyssal essence gathering in his bloody arm that was missing a sleeve which had been torn off with his arm before. His fingers trembled as he channeled the dark energy.

The Angels didn't take him seriously. It was the same for the Watcher who realized that now was the right time to help Karyk. Even though Karyk still hadn't completely broken, if they waited more, the seal was going to complete, making their goals even harder to achieve. The celestial energy continued to press down on him, trying to complete the seal around him. As if in a final desperate act, Karyk thrust his hand forward. The abyssal essence erupted from his fingertips, a wave of dark energy that tore through the angelic seal. The energies clashed, creating a vortex of destructive energy around him.

The seal destroyed the essence of the abyss while the abyss devoured the chaotic seal. The Angels' smug expressions faltered as they realized what was happening but it was too late. The spatial fabric around Karyk began to warp and twist, thanks to the mix of several destructive energies that cannibalized each other. With the destruction, the slave itself was ripped open around Karyk, forming a chaotic tunnel that defied the laws of the realm. Karyk's body was pulled into the tunnel, the swirling energies consuming him. He didn't know the destination that this spatial tunnel had, or if he was even strong enough to survive inside the chaotic spatial tunnel. Still, it was better than falling into the hands of either of the two sides. "I'll save you!" The Watcher rushed towards the Spatial Tunnel, getting flustered as he saw his plans fall apart. He reached out his arm to pull Karyk back out of the spatial tunnel, only to see a Sword flying out of the spatial tunnel, tossed by Karyk. Watcher was shocked, feeling the poisonous Sword that was something Karyk had taken from the treasury of fairies. Even though the sword couldn't kill him, it could still hurt him. Subconsciously, he dodged to the side, giving Karyk the time he needed. The Angels also came out of their shock, trying to bring Karyk back, but the spatial tunnel had already begun to close. Their celestial aura grasped at empty space as Karyk disappeared into the unknown, his body being swallowed by the chaotic void.

With the chaotic destructive energy all around, they couldn't even locate the source or destination of the spatial tunnel which was similar to the river of time, almost impossible to grasp. If it was the spatial tunnel that was inside a universe, they would have been able to find him. However, the spatial tunnel had opened when Karyk was outside the bounds of any of the universes, amidst the space of nothingness that separated various universes. In this space, there were no universal laws, hence there was no proper flow of the river of space or time. The Watcher and his companion watched in stunned silence. The Watcher clenched his fist, barely controlling his desire to roar at the top of his lungs. They came here to take Karyk with them, making him depend on them. He didn't even realize when everything started falling apart. Was it when he refused to help Karyk, waiting for the right time? Or did he know it long before that? His companion glanced at him. "Now isn't the time to think about it. We have to leave!"

Karyk was the main target of the Angels but it didn't mean they were safe. Now that Karyk had escaped, they were the ones surrounded by the Angels who probably believed that they knew his whereabouts. Watcher's lips twitched in frustration. He was so angry that he even burst into laughter, finding it hard to hide his killing intent. "For so many centuries, I waited in that godforsaken world for an opportunity! I lived like an insect in that civilization, even going so far as helping that brat survive! After all that, this is the reward I received."

He looked at the Spatial Tunnel. As the chaotic tunnel sealed shut, the Angels' rage echoed through the void. They floated in the remnants of the shattered space. It was the beginning of the Angels' Wrath that was directed toward the Angels. The two sides that wanted to use Karyk as a pawn turned against each other now that the pawn had temporarily removed himself from the equation. ....

Meanwhile, Karyk felt his body hurtling through the chaos, the energies tearing at his very essence. He could feel himself being pulled in all directions, the pain almost unbearable. But amidst the agony, there was a glimmer of something else. It was a strange, unfamiliar energy that seemed to be guiding him.

He clung to that energy, trying to resist the flow of the space tunnel as his destination was different. Through the remnant of the familiar source that was guiding him through the battlefield of the destructive space, he tried to find an exit while feeling his consciousness fading away.  The flow of the tunnel tried to pull him away from the direction he was going, which was a passage leading him to the universe he had devoured, which was also his home. He had no strength, but he could still feel himself getting closer to the entrance of his universe. Soon, he reached out his arm, trying to grab onto the spatial crack that was opened by the abyss that devoured his universe. It was the abyss guiding him to his reality. Karyk reached out his hand, trying to grab onto the abyss and enter the Spatial Crack. "Just a little more!" He reached out his arm with all his might, even as the forces of the space pulled him away with their natural flow. Unfortunately, even with everything he had, Karyk still fell a little short as he missed the exit by a few inches, getting lost in the river of space. He finally couldn't stay awake anymore as his vision darkened while watching the exit getting farther and farther away, until he lost his consciousness entirely.
