Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 958: Unable to Control

... "When will we be able to leave this hellhole?"

In an unknown corner of the city, a young man was sitting with a group of friends. All of them held a bottle filled with alcohol. "This place really sucks. Even after so many centuries, we haven't managed to find it. What's the point of staying here?"

The group of people had different physical characteristics, but one thing was the same for them. They were all strong. Just the aura that they were emitting, even if not as strong as Aexin, was enough to destroy a weaker world, without even trying. "If it was up to me, I would've destroyed this world and returned home. But those old fossils would be really angry. We can only stay here, until our shift is over."

"So another hundred years."

The group of youngsters were the people that were called the Children of Heaven by the people of this world. Everyone thought that they were here on vacation, or to have fun in this world. But only they knew that they had been forced to come here. Every century, there was a different group that was sent here. They had two goals. The first goal was to protect this place, and the second goal was to search for something "If even our predecessors failed to find that thing, what did they even expect from us? As for protecting this place... What is the point of protecting this useless place?"

All of them hated this place. They felt like this place was more like a prison for them. It would have been fine if they had to stay here for a few weeks but a century was an entirely different matter. "Why did our luck have to be so bad? Out of so many people, our names had to be selected."

"I have only been here for a few months, and I feel like I am already going crazy. How did the others manage to stay here for so long?"

"They must have suffered a lot. No wonder all of them were looking at us with a pitiful gaze when we were changing positions."

"Pitiful gazes? They looked at us like we were about to be executed. We need to find a way to get out of this place!"

"If you are talking about running away, then forget it. We would be killed, if discovered. Even though this place is bad, at least we can return alive."

"If we tried to escape or abandon this mission, we are going to die. I don't know about you, but I definitely don't want to die."

"Urgh, why did I have to be here!"

A few of them were calm, but there were a lot of them who were cursing their luck out loud. "Instead of getting frustrated, how about you find the thing we are here for?"

"You f*cker, did you think it is that easy? We have already confirmed that the key isn't here! Who is to say that the other thing was also destroyed by them?"

"I don't think they would have destroyed that thing. It is a glimpse into their past, left for the key. Destroying that thing was no different than cutting all ties to the key."

"That reminds me, I heard that the key was discovered in a small world." Nôv(el)B\\jnn

*How did you hear that? Haven't you been with us all this time?"

"Just because I'm here doesn't mean I don't get messages from my family. As you already know, my family is an expert in that. So I often get information from outside."

"Then are you serious? The Key was discovered?"

"At least that's what I heard. I don't know if they were able to recover the key, as it's hard for them to descend. But if it's them, it's only a matter of time before the key is discovered."

"When that happens, we won't need to stay here. With the key, we won't need the Fragment of the Past."

"If it's true, then it's the best news I've ever heard! We might be able to return within a few weeks at best. Now that the key has been discovered, the Archangels won't let it go!"

Laughter echoed in the hall. The atmosphere that was filled with anger, looked much more pleasant now. The place became much more pleasant, as everyone looked happy with the news. They started enjoying the night much more. Instead of a prison, this place had once again become a temporary vacation spot for them. "Since we are about to return soon, how about we have some fun here in the meantime?" One of them suggested. "What are you talking about?"

"I heard from one senior that they went hunting in the Ocean. Before leaving, we should try that as well. It might be fun."

"Hahaha, that's right. It should be very fun. I still remember my hunting days. My family used to take me to lower worlds, and we hunted those mortals for fun. I miss those good days."

"Then it is agreed. Tomorrow, we will go hunt in the ocean! We will take out the trash that the seniors failed to clear!"

The man raised his glass. "To the Vacation!"

"To the Vacation!" The others also raised their glasses. Most of the people here were drunk in power. However, there was one person who looked out of place here. The person was sitting near the window, with a glass in his hand. Unlike others, he was drinking slowly, as if enjoying each sip. Soon, a shadow came flying from outside, merging with his shadow. The man, who had been drinking calmly until now, stood up. A smile appeared on his face as he muttered, "Interesting. Are they finally unable to control themselves?"

He jumped out the window, leaving the celebration. No one noticed or cared about his disappearance either. He walked towards the center of the city, where the library was situated. "For them to go to the library... It seems that the assumption was correct. That thing is being kept there.
