Holy Necromancer: Rebirth of the Strongest Mage - Chapter 963

Chapter 963: Return

The Ruler of Ocean arrived with a few escorts of his own. Their strength was evident as all of these escorts had carried the heavy boxes that contained gifts. A single box, that they carried with a single hand, took over ten youngsters to pick up and put on the carriage. And there were tens of such craters. "Let's go. If we are lucky, we might get some benefits as well." The man next to Karyk patted his shoulder as he rushed forward to help carry the boxes. Karyk stepped forward as well. Since he was in this place, he could only play along. He helped the young man carry the box. "Huh? Is it just me or does the box feel lighter than the others made them appear?" The young man who accompanied Karyk revealed his surprise as their group managed to pick the box much more easily. "Could it be that they were putting on an act to make it look like it was hard work?" He thought, revealing a clever smile. He told the others in the groups to put on the same act. "Is this..." Karyk was more surprised than them. It wasn't because the box was lighter. Instead, he could feel that the reason these boxes became lighter was because of him. He was able to feel the same strength that he hadn't felt ever since he came to the world of Civilization. 'Is my power not sealed here because it's an illusion? Or is it because the thing that stopped me from using my powers hasn't been put to use in this illusion world of the past?'

He closed his eyes, lost in thought. "Enough rest! We don't pay you to sleep! Ten minutes are over! Get up!" The old man yelled loudly, even though it was evident that not even five minutes had passed. The Ruler of the Ocean also looked somewhat impatient, as if he was in a hurry to meet the Emperor of Civilization. It was clear why the old man did not let anyone rest anymore. The youngsters had no choice but to stand up. The Ruler of Ocean and the others sat inside another specially crafted carriage. The group started moving back towards the city. "Don't you feel bad? You all are being treated like this?" Karyk asked the talkative young man next to him. "Is there a reason for this?"

"Treated like this? Stop pretending like you don't know. This is the life of people like us. We are not like the people in the inner area of the city. Of course this is all we can do."

The young man answered, his voice tinged with a little sadness that he quickly hid.
