In the end, she lowered her head, as if showing her willingness to give in.
The Undead removed his sword. Finally a few words came out of his lips. "Wise decision."
After speaking, he disappeared, once again returning to the shadow as if he had never appeared in the first place.
Without any interruption, Gabriel soon reached his destination, stopping right before a majestic building that looked even better than the Royal Palace of the Lumen Empire. It was the Church of Light which had been abandoned since there was no member left in this world. However, the place was still intact.
Gabriel took his first step inside the Church of Light, pushing the doors open. Even though the doors were sealed, they couldn't offer even the slightest resistance against his strength.
As he stepped inside the church of light, the silence of the place spoke volumes to him. The decoration inside was breathtaking and the candles still illuminated the place, even though it has been closed for quite some time.
Gabriel walked down the aisle, noticing the beautiful stained-glass windows and intricate carvings on the pews. The emptiness of the church made him feel strange.
The place looked the same as it looked in the past. However, there was one difference. The last time he came here, this place was crowded. But this time, not a single person could be found.
Many of the treasures were still left intact inside the Church of Light. However, those treasures were completely useless to him, especially compared to his Elemental Sword that he created during his battle with a Demigod.
Instead of Treasures, there was a different reason for him to come here.
Only his footsteps resounded in the empty Church of Light as Gabriel kept going deeper and deeper, without a single care in the world.
It was only when he reached his destination that he slowed down.
There was a majestic gate before him that looked like it was impossible to open in the first place. The gate was different from any other gate in the Church. It was the Gate that protected the entry to the Sacred Region of the Church of Light!
Only the Holy Lord of Light could open this gate, and that too, only once in their life. It was a place that couldn't be opened with brute force either.
Gabriel didn't even use the small fragment of Element of Light that he had received. Other than some improved healing, he didn't want to rely on any other element!
In his eyes, the Element of Light was way inferior to the Element of Death when it came to fight. Instead of working on his Element of Light that was never going to get close to the level of goddess of Light, he only focused on the Element of Death, which was already near completion.
He also had a guess as to why the Goddess of Light gave him this element. He didn't want to play into her hands.
"Even your master had to scheme against me because she was scared of me. Can a mere gate stop me?"
Gabriel placed his right hand on the door. The door started shining in bright light as lightning flickered, as if intending to harm Gabriel for trying to open the gate when he wasn't allowed to. However, Gabriel remained unphased.
Instead, his aura of death completely covered the gate, as of taking it hostage.
Boom ~
With a loud explosion, the gate broke open as some fragments of the door flew inside the sacred region, falling on the ground with a thud.
The gate was broken. All the seals that stopped a person from entering the Sacred Region broke along with the gate, as if the seals were nothing before his strength.
The aura of death shrouded Gabriel, changing his attire into something that he used to wear a thousand years ago. It was as if he was back into the past when he stepped inside the Sacred Region.
As he entered that place, he once again found himself in the center of all the pillars.
All the fragments of the souls of the Previous Holy Lords still existed in this place. They appeared one after another, still as talkative as the last time.
"So soon? A new Holy Lord? Don't tell me the brat that came here last time died already?"
For the previous holy lords, it was evident that one couldn't enter a second time. Only when the last Holy Lord died could a new one come here.
However, as soon as their eyes fell on the person who stood in the middle, they all went pale. It was the same person as last time. Moreover, his aura was even more scary!
His entire body was shrouded in death, as if he was a reaper who came here to take their souls!
"Who are you?" The First Holy Lord of Light asked as she became cautious. "How did you come here a second time?"
Gabriel didn't react right away. Instead, he looked around, as if he was looking for someone.
In the end, he looked above. "Are you still not going to show yourself?"
He received no response to his question, only silence.
"You've always been this cowardly, huh?" Gabriel further stated, but he didn't ask anymore. Instead, he shifted his attention to the fragments of the souls of other Holy Lords of Light.
He raised his head lightly. A frightening aura appeared, with him at the core. Even though the Holy Lords were in the sacred region, blessed by their Element, but it was as if Gabriel's aura was strong enough to break every restriction placed here.
Their bodies were forced down to their knees. Even the strongest one couldn't avoid it!
A look of embarrassment, shame and anger flashed on the faces of the previous Holy Lords as they glared at Gabriel, as if they wanted to kill him.
They had never faced an insult like this in the past, which made them even more unwilling.
