Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

"Those mixed blood insects dared to ask me for my identity?" The General revealed a smirk on his lips. "They deserved death! A second of my time is more important than millions of those pests that dared to sully our pure bloodline by existing?"

"If you hadn't arrived to welcome me, I would've killed everyone in this city, turning this into a graveyard for centuries to come!" The General further exclaimed. "Honestly, I was quite disappointed that you came on time."

Hearing the General insulting them, the citizens felt even more furious. Their blood was boiling. Some even felt like killing that bastard if possible.

"You...!" Karyk's voice carried clear anger as he looked at the man before him in disbelief. "You truly don't care about their lives? You're a Messenger of His Majesty! And they're the citizens under the king!"

"How can you toy with their lives?!" he asked. "Do you believe I won't inform His Majesty?"

"Hahaha!" In response, the man in front of Karyk burst into laughter. It was as if Karyk had told him the biggest joke.

"You think His Majesty will harm me for those insects?" he asked with a sneer. "How many such towns do you think I've destroyed throughout the years? Do you think he doesn't know?"

"Let me tell you. Let alone this useless border City, even if I destroy all the lowly beings in the nearby cities, nothing will be done to me." The General continued, as if he didn't care in the slightest.

In his arrogance, he continued. "His Majesty has also killed millions of these lowly beings in his early days. It used to be his favorite sport to hunt them. Unfortunately, the population of these insects never goes down as they keep breeding like animals."

"We only do this world a favor by killing them regularly. We maintain the balance in this world. We are the Purebloods. Only our lives matter!"

He moved closer to Karyk as he continued. "Let me tell you another secret. It's only a matter of time before we're commanded to kill all these insects. I estimate that within a year, we'll have the others. And then, poof."

The General kept laughing out loud. "I'm only telling you because you're a Pureblood like us. So you might survive. But for that, you should leave this city and return to the Capital."

"Are you here to deliver this message to me?" Karyk asked.

"That's correct. His Majesty heard about your feats in the deep sea. He has heard a lot about your strength. That's why he sent me here to inform you that you should join his army in the Capital. In any case, stay away from this border City."

"And here I thought you were here to help this city after my brother died. But you all are..." Karyk didn't even finish his sentence but it was clear that he was disappointed.

"Help this city?" The General laughed even louder. "Think about it again. Don't make the same mistake as your brother did by rejecting us and staying in this godforsaken City to protect these insects."

"Anyway, I've said all I had to. The rest is on your shoulders. Either you can join us, or you can make the same mistake as your brother and die at the hands of our people!" He stood up as if he was ending the conversation.

"Your people?" Karyk's voice became heavy as he asked.

The citizens who were watching this illusion also gasped in shock and disgust. The Royals had a hand in killing the City Lord and all the Guards, most of whom were family members of the city residents.

In that attack, every family had lost someone dear to them. But none of them could ever have imagined that the Royals were behind it.

"You knew how strong your brother was. Don't tell me you thought he could be killed so easily without our help?" The man smirked as he walked toward the window.

In that moment, the illusion finally came to an end.

"Now you all know what happened last night!" Karyk told the citizens, letting out a sigh. "Those people... They don't care about us. They only use us for their own use, until it's time to get rid of us!"

As Karyk spoke, his voice became louder. "Not only did they kill me brother, but they even bragged about it to me, knowing that there was no consequence for it!"

"What do you think should've been done to those bastards who think you're beneath them?!" His voice echoed through the entire border City.

The citizens were already flared up, filled with emotions. Their hearts were filled with hate towards the Royals now, who treated them no different than animals.

Many of them wondered why the Royal Army wasn't placed in this city to protect them from the Beast Tides.

However, at this moment, all of them believed they knew the reason. It was because their lives didn't matter. If anything, the Royals were already planning on killing them all so there were only purebloods left in this world!

"What should've been done to them?!" Karyk asked, making his anger known.

"Kill them!" Many of the citizens roared, making their voices heard.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

Before long, only one word could be heard in the entire town.

In the past, none of them would've dared say anything like that, worried for their lives. But now, they didn't care. They hated those bastards more than they loved their lives. In this moment, they even forgot that the Purebloods were true immortals.

"That's exactly what I did!" Karyk roared, a spatial portal opening behind him.

He placed his hand inside the portal, dragging the General's body out. He tossed the body at the citizen's feet, revealing that he had already done so. He proved that he didn't intend to back down from this war!

Next to the man, the Royal Insignia was visible. Seeing the insignia, none doubted the illusion. They didn't know that the insignia didn't belong to this man. It was something Karyk took after killing the King's sister.
