Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 1029: Unexpected Guest

... The City of Necropolis was bustling with an unusual amount of activity. Merchants, travelers, and spies from various High Clans mingled in the streets, trying to gather as much information as they could before the grand meeting.

In the heart of the city stood the Grand Colosseum, a massive structure made entirely of black stone and covered with ancient runes. This was where the meeting of the High Clan Lords was to take place. The Colosseum, which usually hosted grand battles between various species for wealth and influence, had been cleared and secured for the grand meeting.

The Leader of the city that was selected from amongst the citizens had taken extra precautions to ensure the safety and neutrality of the meeting. If even a single thing went wrong and there was a conflict, this entire city could be destroyed. As all the High Clans were influential and arrogant, he didn't want to displease them. He did everything he could to make sure the high clans had no trouble. At the same time he was also praying that the High Clans didn't start fighting against each other. Even if they were to fight, they should have left this city first. Unfortunately, he couldn't force them out. So he could only pray that nothing like that happened. As soon as he heard that this was going to be the meeting place, he had been stressed constantly. It was as if he had aged in an instant. There was no one who could understand the kind of stress he was under. Protective wards and formations had been placed around the Colosseum, and guards from all High Clans patrolled the area, maintaining the safety. Although all high clans worked together to make sure this place was safe, it didn't mean they weren't suspicious of each other. There was a tense atmosphere between the guards of each High Clan. The citizens of the city had been nervous throughout the time. Some had even left the city during his time, not wanting to play with their lives. Meanwhile, there were also few who were looking forward to gazing upon the high lords who were like the rulers of this world. Normally, they couldn't even dream of seeing these people who were like stars shining in the sky. They only heard about their strength and exploits but never saw them. As the sun began to set, the higher ups of the High Clans began to arrive. The citizens of the city formed a line to welcome the High Clan Lords. The citizens remained on their knees as they remained in the corner of the path to not obstruct the lords. Some even tried to gaze up to see the people who were arriving. Unfortunately, their mentality was too weak. First to arrive were the Lords of the Monster Clan, their imposing figures casting long shadows as they walked. Their leader, Lord Drakon, was said to be a true dragon from ancient times. He was a towering figure with dragon scales on his body that shimmered in the fading light, leading the way. His eyes, like molten gold, surveyed the area with a mix of arrogance. Following him was the Lady of the Phoenix Clan which was also a part of the Monster Clan. The Monster Clan was the combined term given to the clans that consisted of the Mythical Monsters. Even though the Lady of Phoenix clan wasn't as strong as Drakon, her strength was still nothing to scoff at. Even more dangerous were her looks that should instantly make people go crazy. However, no one dared to get close to her. Even the strongest monsters could burn to ashes under the effect of her phoenix flames. It was even rumored that until now, she hadn't been touched by any man. It was even said that the Dragon Lord wanted to marry her, but she had never reciprocated. No one knew how true it was, but they weren't in a position to talk about this now. The Phoenix Queen's presence was frightening for many, and her gaze was as piercing as the sharpest blade. The men didn't even dare to look at her, worried that they might lose themselves in her beauty. If they annoyed her with their impure gaze, they could only imagine what kind of nightmare waited for them The Serpent Clan, the Wolf Clan, and the Tiger Clan arrived as well, each bringing their own unique aura. It was clear that the Monster Clan wasn't looking down on this event. They had taken it extremely seriously as the leaders of all important factions within the Monster Clan had arrived. The Lord of the City personally escorted the guests from the Monster Clan to the Colosseum. Around half an hour had passed since the Monster Clan entered the Colosseum but the citizens still didn't stand up from their positions, worried that their places might be taken by others. They couldn't give up front row seats to gaze upon the divine beings. After another half an hour passed, the second high clan arrived. It was the Demon Clan. Looking at the people from the Demon Clan, no one could associate them with the rumors about the demons. The guests of the Demon Clan were dressed in dark clothes, and their eyes were pitch black. But other than that, they looked like humans. If anything, they could be said to be more charming than they were scary. The person who was leading the group was said to be the queen of demons. It was hard to even see her face as a strange mist was surrounding her body, making everyone feel like they could die if they ever touched that mist. There was one thing that surprised everyone. Amongst the group of the Demon Clan, there was one person that didn't look like a demon. Her eyes were like that of a normal human. Even though she was beautiful, she didn't feel like someone from the Demon Clan. She stood out a lot. Many wondered just what was the identity of the woman. She came with the Demon Clan and was walking next to the other demon clan members. The only person who walked ahead of them was the Demon Queen.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
