Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage

Chapter 1070: Chapter 1070: Earthly Drike



"How fascinating. Not only do you people still exist but you have also grown stronger than the books mentioned."

She reached out her hand and touched Karyk's cheeks. Unlike the way she dealt with Aelric, she was very gentle with Karyk as if she was observing a previous jade.

It was her first time seeing an extinct species, which increased the value of Karyk in her eyes even more. Not only did he save her brother but he was also special in his own way.

"Can I take a sample of your blood?" she suddenly asked out of nowhere, making Karyk step back subconsciously.

He wondered if he had made a mistake by using a fairy as his disguise. He hadn't realized that he was going to become such a rarity in this world. If he had known about it, he would have tried something else.

"I can't give you my blood, so please don't ask," he rejected the woman.

He knew that the Drike Family was very resourceful. They could find out a lot of things with his blood. It would have been fine if he was actually a fairy, but he was something else entirely.

His body was under a disguise but not his blood. The blood in his veins was still filled with the essence of the abyss, which kept him alive.

"Little girl, he is our guest, not a test subject. So please don't scare him." Fortunately for Karyk, the middle aged man intervened.

Although the girl was slightly disappointed, she nodded. She could not force Karyk to give his blood. It was true that he was a guest.

"I am sorry. I did not think things through." She retracted her hand and took a step back. She apologized to Karyk, despite being the daughter of the Drike Clan's Patriarch.

"As an apology, please accept this from me." Without even waiting for Karyk's response, she placed a black card in his hand.

"This is?" Karyk observed the strange card which was made from a really strange crystal, only being as thick as a metal card. In the card, there was only one symbol. It was the symbol of the Drike Family.

"This card holds a hundred thousand crystals," the girl explained.

For her, a hundred thousand crystals were nothing, but for most people, it was something that they couldn't earn even if they worked all their life.

The crystals were the currency used in this world, and the cards were used to hold the crystals. Karyk had already read a little about it in the books.

Although he didn't like being paid off, it was free money so he accepted it with ease. In this world, he was extremely poor after all.

"Shall we go home now? My father also wants to see what an extinct mutated species looks like. You are truly a freak of nature after all."

The girl turned around, making a small gesture towards the distance. In response, a ship much smaller in size compared to the Warships, came flying.

It landed in front of them, and the door opened. Karyk and the others entered the ship and were taken to the main residence of the Drike Family.

Contrary to the grand interior of the warship he had seen before, the residence of the Drike Family felt quite ordinary. If anything, it was rather mediocre for a place where such an important family stayed.

There was no spatial manipulation being performed here. All the rooms were their original size. Instead of a grand palace, this place looked more like a beautiful villa.

The moment Karyk stepped out of the ship, he caught the sight of a middle aged man who was sitting on the balcony of the villa with a cup in his hand, taking small sips.

Looking at the place, Karyk was quite surprised. He felt as if he had come to the house of an ordinary family on earth, instead of the Drike Family that ruled over multiple galaxies.

"Do you want some tea as well?" A voice came from behind Karyk while a cup was pushed towards him.

Karyk turned around and watched the same middle aged man who had been sitting on the balcony. Without even the slightest spatial disturbance, the man had appeared behind him.

He was still taking sips from the cup in his left hand while holding another cup in his right which was offered to him.

The cup had ordinary tea, which further made Karyk think of earth.

Karyk looked back and noticed that the man was still on the balcony. He was at two places at the same time, none of them being an illusion.

Karyk reached out his hand, accepting the courtesy of the man. "Thank you."

Although he didn't know who this person was, it was clear that he was from the Drike Family.

With Aelric's uncle, it was easily noticeable that the man was incredibly strong. On the contrary, the man before him felt extremely weak. He appeared even weaker than Aelric and his sister.

Despite that weak aura, Karyk felt danger from the man. It was as if all his senses were screaming at him to be wary of the man.

The only time he felt this strong sensation was when he watched the Lord of Time. While the Lord of Time was incomprehensible, this man here felt just as incredible.

Karyk didn't go by the man's aura, instead going by his instincts. And if his instincts were to be believed, this man was the Drike Family Head.

He looked like a human and very different from his son and daughter, as if he was an entirely different species.

Karyk took a sip of tea while observing the man. Even a single sip of this ordinary looking tea made him feel an incredible sensation. He could feel his strength increase. All his exhaustion from not sleeping properly was suddenly gone.

Before he even knew it, he had finished the entire cup.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

"What are you doing, standing still?" Karyk wanted to ask the man what this tea was, when someone pushed on his shoulder. The person was none other than Aelric.

"I am talking with him," Karyk said, pointing at the man in front of him, but when he looked carefully, there was no middle aged man in front of him.

The man was still on his balcony, having a smile on his lips now.
