Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

"Cowards," Maeve grumbled as she headed to the Underground Barracks, where some of the Apostles were staying. 

The moment she appeared, all the Apostles within the vicinity stood at attention and gathered in front of her.

"I'll make this quick," Maeve stated. "I plan to capture one of the Heretics who destroyed our Divine City. I will need twenty volunteers. Those who are prepared to die to protect the honor of the Divine Army, step forward!"

All the Apostles stood forward. They looked at the Oracle with a determined look on their faces. None of them were afraid to die because this was their purpose.

They were aware that their Main Headquarters was destroyed, and this news filled their hearts with rage. Now that an opportunity had come to capture one of those responsible for its destruction, none of them had plans to back down from such a mission.

The Oracle nodded her head in satisfaction after seeing the Apostles' unwavering determination to protect the honor and dignity of their organization.

'If only those two fools were as brave as these sacrifices, then we wouldn't need to hide underground like worms.' Maeve sighed in her heart. 'They are already old. It seems that the fear of death has taken hold of them.'

After picking twenty volunteers, the Oracle of the Divine Army brought them to the underground Teleportation Gate that was directly connected to the Beast Empire.

Beast Empire…

"These will be your temporary quarters during your stay here," the Beast King said. "I will send maids to take care of both of your needs. Just stay put, and the two of you will be returned to your parents once this is over."

The Beast King then left without another word.

He had assigned two Saints, along with the Rhino-Kin, to guard Aina and Colette and prevent them from escaping.

The Oracle had contacted him using a special artifact, and she told him that she was on her way to the Beast Empire.

The Beast King stared at his Capital City with his arms crossed over his chest. 

He had been there when the Main Headquarters of the Divine Army was wiped out from the face of the world. He had no intention of letting the same thing happen to his city.

He intended to fight the Half-Elf inside his personalized Domain, and that is where he would capture him alive. 

"Come, Lux Von Kaizer," the Beast King muttered. "The grudge between you and the Divine Army will end here."

The Beast King was confident that he would be able to defeat the Half-Elf even if Hereswith were to come and help him.

————————

Heaven's Gate Guild Headquarters…

The Beast King was not aware that Lux had no intention of involving his Grandmaster in this battle. 

Although Hereswith had repeatedly told him that Gaap was meant to die when he decided to fight in the Divine City, the Half-Elf still felt that it was his fault that his Master died.

When the four Pseudo-Supremes arrived to target him, he was forced to flee the battle due to the difference in Ranks.

He was simply too weak to fight against them, and this great disparity couldn't be overcome even by a month of grinding for Beast Cores.

When the arrow of Destruction was about to hit him, he tried to swap places with his clones, but it failed.

His clones had already perished in battle, which almost ended his life.

If it weren't for his Master swapping places with him, the arrow would have surely ended his life. 

Lux could still remember that moment as if it was yesterday. 

He always thought that, if only he had been stronger, he would have definitely escaped with his Master without fail.

The Half-Elf knew that he couldn't always depend on his Grandmaster to save him whenever he fought against a Supreme or a Demigod.

He needed to have the ability to stand his ground against these Powerhouses, and that was what he planned to test right now.

"Aurora, I need your help," Lux said. 

"Welcome back, Lux," Aurora replied with a smile. However, after seeing how serious Lux's expression was, she instantly felt that something bad had happened. "How can I help you?"

The Half-Elf didn't hesitate and told Aurora about everything that happened in the Xeno Kingdom. The beautiful young lady intently listened from start to end without saying a word. 

When Lux finished his explanation, she nodded her head and looked him in the eye.

"How can I help you?" Aurora asked. "As long as it is within my ability, I will do everything in my power to help."

"Thank you, Aurora," Lux said with a faint smile on his face. "I want you to come with me to the Pantheon of Exile."

Aurora blinked once then twice before a dawn of realization appeared on her face. She then held Lux's gaze for nearly half a minute before nodding her head.

"Understood," Aurora nodded. "When are we leaving?"

"Right now," Lux answered.

The Half-Elf then took out one of the three tickets in his possession, which he hadn't used for a long time. 

These tickets allowed him to instantly teleport to any place in Elysium and Solais that he had been to before.

After a brief explanation about what he planned to do, Lux teleported to the Inner Sanctum of the Pantheon of Exile.

"Heaven's Call," Lux muttered as he summoned Aurora to his side using his ability.

A pillar of white light appeared beside him, and the young lady who held all the misfortune of the world made her appearance.

Aurora looked at the Half-Elf with an inquiring gaze, asking if they should start their operation.

Lux nodded. "You can start."

Taking a deep breath, the beautiful young lady pressed her hand on one of the barriers that was keeping a Calamity-Ranked Monster inside its prison.

A moment later, several cracks appeared on the barrier's surface, making the Ape-Like Calamity Beast who had been imprisoned for nearly a century, start attacking the barrier to speed up its destruction.

When the barrier finally shattered, the five-meter-tall Ape-Like Monster roared and looked at the two teenagers with bloodshot eyes.

It wasn't even the least bit thankful for being freed from its prison. The only thing in its mind was to vent out the frustration that it had been holding back for a very long time.

However, before it could attack the two teenagers, three creatures appeared between it, and the two people it wanted to kill.

Two of those creatures were the Four-Armed Black Ogre and the Golden-Eyed Naga.

The last creature that made its appearance was none other than Avernus, who had taken his Demi-Human form.

Without even giving the Ape-Like Monster a chance to register what had just happened, the Black Ogre and the Golden-Eyed Naga attacked. 

Avernus chuckled as he walked towards the pitiful-looking ape, who was about to get Gang Banged into submission. 

The other monsters, who were imprisoned inside the Inner Sanctum, shuddered when they saw this horrifying scene. 

They watched as the Calamity-Ranked Ape was beaten until it was half dead without giving it a chance to fight back.

"Blackfire," Lux stated, and the Black Coffin appeared before him.

Its lid slid open and countless hands grabbed hold of the fallen Ape, dragging it towards its body. 

The Half-Elf then glanced at his next target, making the imprisoned monster's body shudder uncontrollably. 

On that day, the monsters that had once terrorized the Lands of Agartha all roared in fear and helplessness. 

They were the existences that were deemed too dangerous to wander freely. But now, they were looking at the red-headed teenager with fearful eyes.

All of them had the same thought as they watched their comrades get absorbed by the Black Coffin one by one.

'Just who is the real monster here?'

This was the thought that swirled inside their heads as they looked at the Half-Elf's merciless eyes.

Avernus' laughter spread inside the Inner Sanctum as he beat the crap out of all the monsters that stood in front of him.

He knew that Lux was very angry, and he could feel it through their connection.

Although he had only been with the Half-Elf for a short period of time, he now had a good grasp of his personality.

'I almost pity the Beast King,' Avernus thought as the Calamity-Ranked Monster he was facing fell on the ground.

A second later, Blackfire devoured the monster's body and added it to his collection.

No matter how much the monsters begged and pleaded for mercy, all of their cries fell on deaf ears. 

The Black Ogre, the Golden-Eyed Naga, and the Dracolich smacked them to oblivion. 

There were hundreds of Peak-Calamity Ranked Beasts inside the Inner Sanctum, and Lux had no intention of sparing even one of them.

The Beast King and the Oracle were preparing to fight against Lux with the intention of capturing him.

They were not aware that the Half-Elf had other plans in mind.

Yes.

He didn't plan to go to the Beast Empire to fight.

He'd had enough dealings with the Divine Army.

What he wanted to do was a one-sided annihilation, and he would not stop with the Beast Empire.

All the factions under the Divine Empire's influence would soon know that the big organization they looked up to was nothing when faced with the rage of the Necromancer of Heaven.

High above the heavens, a sigh escaped Eriol's lips. 

Although he didn't wish to see what Lux was going to do next, he also understood that there was nothing he could do to stop it.

Max patted his friend's shoulder and sighed as well.

Now that things had reached the tipping point, an unstoppable avalanche that would sweep the entire world by storm was about to take place.
