Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage
Chapter 939: It was

He struggled to sit up despite the pain. As he looked around the room, he saw his uncle, Aztec, sitting by his side with a calm expression on his face.

"It seems that I have failed." He rubbed his forehead, feeling a little frustrated. Not only did he fail, but he had also lost his left arm. It was the first time he had lost like this. He still couldn't believe it. "So, when is my execution?" he asked his uncle, already expecting the outcome. He was told about the consequences of failure before he was sent there. Even if he had killed Karyk, he could still have tried to escape as the Archangels couldn't descend. But now that he was back, there was no avoiding the consequences. "In a week's time."

"And what about you? What consequences are there for you?"

"You think they can give me any consequences? I should be fine for the most part. But it would still be very troublesome to hear all of them in the meeting."

"I see." Aexin lowered his head. "Those old idiots can never change. However, I don't think they will execute me. Because it wasn't my fault this time."

"They didn't tell me something like that could happen. If I had known, things could have been different."

"Was he Stronger than you?"

"Stronger than I expected, yes. But stronger than me? Not quite."

"I see. It looks like you underestimated him and lost your arm. And after that, you grew angry and failed to control your strength, destroying that realm accidentally and killing him?"

Aztec had a rough idea about what happened from Aexin's words. He himself accepted that Karyk was stronger than he expected. "But even if that's the case, it's not anyone's fault but yours. I really shouldn't have sent you, knowing your temper. What a misjudgment on my part."

He appeared very disappointed as he stood up, ready to live. He had thought that even if his nephew was arrogant and short tempered, he was still someone who knew the importance of this task. With this failure, he had truly disappointed him. "You have quite a wild imagination," Aexin rolled his eyes. "It's not what happened. He isn't the one who sliced my arm."

"He isn't?" Aztec stopped at the threshold of the exit, turning around with a surprise. There was someone else who was able to hurt his nephew? It would have been possible if it was the Forgotten Prince, but for another being from that lowly world to be able to do that? How was that possible? "Was it someone from the Slave Species that was sent there last time?"

They already had two factions here. One was in control when Elzeirans were sent there. And the second was his faction. He had sent Aexin because the Elzeirans had failed. But was it a trap by the other faction to drag him down? If that was true, then this really could be used in the next meeting to not only save his nephew but also to have revenge. "Who was it? The new Queen of Elzeira? Was she granted a blessing by them like her brother, behind our back? Even then, she should be very weak. She must have used a trick. Such sneaky bastards!"

"Stop overthinking. You keep coming up with absurd stories." Aexin denied once again. "It wasn't an Elzeiran."

"You think those slaves could even get close to me? Even if they schemed against me, they could never harm me."

"Then, was it remnants of the weak Divine Empire that survived last time?"

"Not them either."

"Then who was it?! Who cut your arm?!

"It was..."

Aexin told Aztec everything that happened from the point that he met Karyk to the point that they started fighting. He even told Aztec how he was already planning to kill Karyk at that time, but as the story progressed, Aztec's expressions turned darker. By the time the story ended, Aztec left the room in silence. He quickly sent a message to all the Council Members, telling them to bring forth the final meeting. Along with the message, he also sent one extra sentence. One after another, the message was received by everyone who had already agreed to have a meeting later. They didn't know why Aztec was in such a hurry suddenly. Did he want to be punished so bad? Some people were even smug about it. But the moment they read the last line, their expressions became stern. Even the ones in the faction that hated Aztec couldn't control themselves as they stood up, shocked. "That's impossible!"

"If he is lying, then expulsion won't be the only consequences he faces!"

"How can it be true?"

There were many different reactions amongst the ones who received the invitation. Even the old beings that rarely attended the meeting were shocked. They didn't delay anymore. They didn't want to wait for the next meeting. All of them left their realms. The meeting was going to be held right now to verify if the content of the letters were true. Aztec returned to his room after sending the letters. He helped Aexin up, telling him, "We are leaving right now!"

"Where are we going?"

"You will find out."

....

Aztec brought Aexin to the entrance of the special realm which was an amalgamation of multiple reasons, twisting and turning together. People could even call it the center of various realities, where the meeting was going to take place. "No matter what happens, do not open your eyes when we enter!"

"What will happen if I open my eyes?"

"If you are lucky, you will only lose your kind and become paralyzed forever. If you are unlucky, then believe me you won't want to know what might happen."

Just to be sure, he personally placed a special blindfold around Aexin's eyes so that he couldn't see anything even my mistake. After properly blinding his nephew temporarily, he entered the realm with him.
