Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

The clothes were dark, pitch black, with golden highlights. On the chest portion of the clothes, there was a badge attached which had the Royal Symbol of the Arecia Empire.

The man wasn\'t the only Knight either. It was a group of close to twenty Knights, all having similar attire. Looking at the Knights, Gabriel had a feeling that these people were a lot stronger than Yuan.

"May I ask why you pushed me?" Gabriel asked. Even if these people were strong, compared to Izen, these people weren\'t enough to intimidate him.

Moreover, if he wasn\'t strong, he was sure he would\'ve already been lying on the ground. The perks who pushed him certainly didn\'t control his strength by much.

"We don\'t owe you an explanation. Scram," the Knight arrogantly stated before he opened the door.

The other Knights also stepped aside as if creating a path for someone to the entrance of the hotel.

As the Knights stepped aside, finally Gabriel saw another person. Behind all the Knights, there was a woman. The woman was dressed in a beautiful white dress that wrapped around her body tightly, highlighting all her curves.

The woman had beautiful brown hair and a slender face. She looked to be in her mid-twenties and someone from a rich family. However, unlike the Knights, who were filled with arrogance and confidence, the woman seemed a bit passive and timid.

She kept her head down as she entered the restaurant, without even raising her head.

After the woman entered, the Knights also followed after her. However, just as the first Knight was about to step inside the restaurant, a foot landed on his face, sending him flying back.

Boom~

The Royal Knight landed on the wall on the road. Everything happened so fast and was so unexpected that the other Knights were initially in a daze, shocked.

The brown-haired woman also stopped, turning around. She finally raised her head, revealing her beautiful dark green eyes.

"You, kid! What did you do?!" The other Knights finally came out of their daze.

One of them pointed at Gabriel. "Are you looking for death?"

"I don\'t owe you an explanation," Gabriel said, repeating the same thing that the Knight had told him. "Anyway, I don\'t like to owe things. We should be equal now."

Gabriel had already been controlling himself a lot in the last few days, but to be bullied even by these Knights? This was too much. If they wanted to see arrogance, he was going to show them arrogance! In any case, he had already thought of a third way to take the Throne while avoiding all the aftermath problems.

"You!"

The Knights were furious. It was the first time that someone had dared to attack a Royal Knight! Moreover, it happened in the central district with so many people around. The crowd had already seen everything and had started gathering.

The Knights knew that it was a question of their reputation now. If they didn\'t do anything now, they were going to become a laughing stock. They were Knights, and reputation was very important for a Knight!

All the Knights pulled out their swords, aiming them at Gabriel.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Gabriel asked.

He wasn\'t looking for much attention, but he knew that it wasn\'t a problem if he didn\'t reveal that he was a Mage. Even though he was dealing with Knights, thanks to the training and all the battles he went through in the Tower of Challenges, his physical skills developed significantly.

As long as he wasn\'t facing a monster, he was sure he could deal with them without the need of Magic.

Since he was here and didn\'t want to attract the attention of the Churches, he had decided to bury his past for a few days and take on a new identity... It was time for him to be a Knight for the others.

To reach the Throne, he had to do a lot of preparation. Since he had given up on using the Princess or serving the Royal Empire to get the Noble Title, he decided to use some different methods. And this was where he was going to put everything into motion.

"Despite being Knights, you people attack others for no reason. Saint King taught us that no matter how strong one gets, a Knight\'s job is to protect, not to hurt people due to their arrogance!" Gabriel declared. "You people got drunk in Power and lost the most basic oath of a Knight? It was only fair for me to teach you a lesson!"

"You! Who do you think you are to teach us a lesson? Do you even know who we are? You, a commoner, think you can teach us what it means to be a Knight? We are the Royal Knights assigned to protect Princess Azia! Attacking is attacking the authority of the Princess?"

"The Princess?" Gabriel glanced at the brown-haired woman who was standing inside the hotel on the other side of the glass.

He couldn\'t help but wonder if the woman was the Eldest Princess for whom the Knight Tournament was going to be held.

As soon as Princess Azia saw Gabriel look in her direction, she flinched as she lowered her head right away.

Looking at her response, even Gabriel was stunned. For a Royal, wasn\'t this Princess a bit too timid? She couldn\'t even look people in the eye? She was quite different from the Princess of Yan and the Princess of Lumen, whom he had met before.

The Knight that was kicked by Gabriel had already lost consciousness. Fortunately, he wasn\'t hurt too badly.

The situation was still tense as one man stood empty-handed before the Royal Knights, who were aiming their swords at him.

"Commoner?" Gabriel didn\'t pay too much attention to the Princess. He shifted his attention back to the Knights before him, who looked like they were going to attack if he didn\'t surrender.

"Are you sure I am a commoner?" Gabriel asked.

With his confident tone, even the Royal Knights were slightly taken aback.

The hidden meaning behind Gabriel\'s tone wasn\'t something that was only grasped by the Royal Knights. Even people nearby started thinking that something was amiss. This guy was a Noble? Or was he bluffing?
