In the end, the lightning dragon could only wail in pain in front of everyone's eyes before it was destroyed completely!
As soon as the lightning Dragon was destroyed, the Holy Priestess of Lightning coughed out a mouthful of blood while her face turned pale.
The Lord of Flames had at least handled it between as only a trail of blood came out from his lips when his strongest spell was destroyed from the core but the Holy Priestess of Lightning was in a much worse condition.
After destroying the lightning dragon, Gabriel looked at his palm. There were some burn marks on his right hand which clearly looked painful yet he didn't have much reaction.
He had also gotten hurt but his condition was much better than the rest. Moreover, it was also what he wanted as well. It was waiting for the others to attack him at once so he could deal with them at the same time.
Heriet was stunned. Even under the effect of his formation, Gabriel could still remain mostly unharmed. However, what stunned him the most was the disappearance of the pitch black shackles that had once entrapped this world. The shackles were nowhere to be found;
He couldn't help but wonder just where the shackles disappeared! How could such a big thing disappear into thin air!
"His right wrist...!" While he was still thinking about it, someone exclaimed in shock pointing towards Gabriel.
Heriet noticed Gabriel's right hand carefully! Only now did he notice that something was different! There was a new accessory on his right wrist which wasn't there before!
There was a pitch black bracelet in his right wrist and the bracelet looked too similar to the shackles that had trapped this world for such a long time!
It was as if the shackles that were large enough to cover the entire world had shrunk to a size where they could be reduced to a bracelet! This seemed impossible!
The shackles were created with a world tier spell! That meant they weren't real but a manifestation of Gabriel's element! How could that turn into a real accessory? If that was really the case, didn't that mean Gabriel had managed to create a Numen from his world tier spell?!
A Numen that was made from a world tier spell... Just how strong could it be? It was definitely in a league way above any other Numen! Since Gabriel created this Numen from nothing, its strength couldn't be guessed! Nothing like this had ever happened before.
"Shall we get serious now?" Gabriel raised his right hand. Since he didn't need to change a spell, no one could hear his spell. However, they all saw a summoning circle before him!
"Since they don't want to let me leave, I will also stop caring. If the Upper Realm wants to go to war, I'll welcome them this time!"
Then though the others couldn't see it, as soon as he recalled the Chains of Death, his control over the element of Death had improved even further!
For a thousand years after he died last time, the shackles of the world had been gathering the aura of death from this world that was imprisoned! No one knew about it! Even the ones from the Upper Realm hadn't managed to guess it!
In the last thousand years, the chains of death had gathered too much aura of death which was even difficult for Gabriel to absorb at once.
The more he assimilated with the chains of death, the more the dark patterns on his skin spread, making it appear as if his entire body was covered in a tattoo!
The black patterns then spread up to his neck, slightly visible even when he was fully dressed!
"Just a little more..." Gabriel muttered, feeling the overwhelming energy. Even after gaining so much, he was still lacking a bit! Correctly, his absolute control over the Element of Death had spread to close to ninety percent!
Others didn't know about it, but while Gabriel created a summoning formation before him, another summoning formation appeared in the Garden of Legacy in the Arecia Empire!
The summoning formation covered the entire garden and even more!
No one was near the area. However, if one was there to see, they would've been stunned to see that a Majestic Castle had appeared there, as if it came out of thin air!
The castle was surrounded by a river of blood on all sides where wailing of evil spirits could be heard loud and clear.
The beautiful yet scary castle was the castle that Karyk used in the past! It was also the castle where he had sealed his army for a thousand years!
Even though he had promised to seal his army for a thousand years, ever since the Goddess of Light betrayed him, he also stopped caring about that promise. Unfortunately, even he couldn't break the seal that he had cast on his army!
To break his own seal prematurely, he had to be even stronger than he was when he cast the seal which wasn't easy. If that wasn't the case, he could've already called his army when he was attacked from all sides, even if it meant breaking a promise. However, it was different this time.
After assimilating with the worldly shackles of death, his strength was incomparable to what he possessed in the past.
At the same time, from the smaller formation circle that was right before Gabriel, another person came out. A man, covered in a dark cloak which hid his face.
Even though the man's face looked like a human, there was a deep blue flame burning in his left eye. What was even weirder was that one of his hands didn't have any flesh, leaving only bones!
Gabriel had finally arranged everything! He intentionally drew his enemies out of the Arecia Empire so the Empire wasn't harmed in their battle!
Moreover, he also used their own attacks to successfully refine the Worldly Shackles into a Numen which was impossible even for himself if all the conditions weren't met!
Now that everything had settled, he was finally ready... Ready to kill!
****
In the Upper Realm, the Ruler of the Realm was lazily sitting on his throne, listening to some reports by one of his Generals. His eyes were closed yet he was still awake, lazily listening without giving much reaction.
However, a few seconds after the report was finished, the man suddenly opened his eyes, looking strangely in a particular direction.
"This.... Interesting. It's him again..."
He wasn't alone who sensed something strange either. It was as if Gabriel was openly declaring his return this time, making everyone know!
