Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Lux, Cai, Keane, Gerhart, and Cethus were currently in Leaf Town, talking to Grandma Annie, who had just finished her session of pill-making.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen," Grandma Annie sighed after hearing Lux's story.

Sid's little sisters, Laura and Livia, sat beside Grandma Annie and patted their baby slimes, Cora and Nora, with smiles on their faces.

"So, what are you planning to do now?" Grandma Annie asked. "Did you come to Leaf Town because you still have some unfinished business?"

Lux nodded. "You can say that, Grandma Annie. I am here for revenge."

"Revenge?" Grandma Annie frowned. "Ah… you are talking about them."

"Right." Lux smirked. "I am talking about them."

There was one organization that had made Lux's life very difficult in the Kingdom of Gweliven.

It was none other than Twilight Rain, the Dark Guild who had sent assassins to kill him when he was still an Apostle.

They also made things difficult for Aina and Colette, which was one of the reasons why he vowed to deal with them.

Right now, his conflict with the Divine Army was temporarily put on hold, allowing him to focus his attention on some unfinished business.

Cai and Keane, who were once captured by Twilight Rain, along with Princess Anastasia, in the past, decided to accompany the Half-Elf after finding out that he was going to deal with Twilight Rain once and for all.

Gerhart and Cethus also volunteered to accompany Lux, unsatisfied that they had not been able to help him deal with the Divine Army of Light.

Now that there was an opportunity to test their newly gained strength, all of them were itching for a fight.

Surprisingly, among the companions who were currently with him, Cai was the strongest.

She was in her Boar form, like always, and had become a B-Ranker.

The reason for her fast rise in ranks was due to her special physique. After making love with Lux for the past few days, she had finally beaten everyone in Rank, surpassing even Iris, who was nearing the peak of being a C-Ranker.

"Hmph! If I see that Ranker who captured me in the past, I'll show him who's boss," Cai snorted. "Lux, leave that guy to me, okay? I'll stomp his face to oblivion!"

Whenever Cai took on her Boar Form, her intelligence regressed quite a bit, making her very talkative and very active.

"Okay." Lux nodded. "You can have him."

Cethus, who had just finished eating his snacks and tea, looked at the Half-Elf with a frown.

"Then, what are we waiting for?" Cethus asked. "Let's deal with those guys right away. I am itching to test my new abilities on them."

"Calm down," Lux answered. "We still have to wait for Sid and Cadmus (Draconic Kobold) to return.

Sid was now a B-Ranker, while Cadmus had become a peak Dreadnaught-Rank Alpha Monster.

Back then, this Draconic Kobold wished to crush Lux in order to avenge his Clan Members. However, after entering Keoza's Domain, the Kobolds had allied themselves with Lux and became the pillars of his Guild.

Perhaps, if Emma weren't too busy handling the affairs of the Guild, she would have joined Lux on this cleaning-up operation.

She was one of the adventurers who had been captured by Twilight Rain and was turned into a Lycan against her own will.

If it weren't for Lux saving her, she might have died as one of the cannon fodders under Twilight Rain's command, and the Half-Elf might never have gained a very capable secretary who competently handled the affairs of Heaven's Gate, alongside General Garret.

Fortunately, Sid and Cadmus arrived in Leaf Town after three hours.

Both of them were helping the expedition party advance in the Savage Lands as they explored this new frontier.

They were the leaders of the Leaf Town Delegation, so they were unable to leave their members behind right away.

After receiving Lux's message, the two decided to escort their members to the outpost within the Savage Lands before returning to Leaf Town with haste.

Now that they had arrived, Lux told them to rest for an hour before they headed to the Stronghold of Norria.

He needed to talk to Commander Thoram and ask him to send word to the capital that he was going to visit.

The Commander of the Stronghold of Norria had direct contact with Nevreal, who was Robin's caretaker. 

Nevreal was also the pitiful dwarf that Lux had extorted to help build his Guild Headquarters when he was still lacking funds.

"What do you want?" Nevreal asked through the round mirror that Commander Thoram was holding. 

Lux could tell that the middle-aged dwarf was quite annoyed just by hearing the tone of the other party's voice.

"Did something happen?" Lux asked. "Why so moody?"

"You brat. You've been away from the kingdom for so long that you are not aware that we have already started a war against Twilight Rain," Nevreal stated. "Of course, the populace doesn't know anything about a war taking place since their headquarters we're attacking are hidden on the outskirts of several cities. 

"Their forces are stronger than we thought, and both sides have already suffered significant losses. I am currently on my way to visit the King in order to receive his orders."

Lux was quite surprised that the Kingdom of Gweliven had finally taken that step to fight the hidden danger that was slowly building up their forces in order to overthrow the Royal Family.

"Perfect timing," Lux said with a smile. "How about I help you guys deal with those bastards? You know that I have a grudge against them, right?"

Nevreal frowned after hearing Lux's words. However, he also understood that the Half-Elf had been on the receiving end of Twilight Rain's bullying in the past.

"Are you sure that you can deal with them?" Nevreal asked. "This is not a game, Lux. This is an all-out war. You can easily die when you join this battle."

"Don't worry, Sir Nevreal," Lux replied. "I promise I won't get in your way. Can I also talk to His Majesty? There are a few things that I want to ask him."

Nevreal pondered for a bit before nodding his head.

Lux was recognized as the benefactor of the Kingdom of Gweliven after he saved Princess Anastasia from the members of Twilight Rain.

Because of this, the Royal Family had a good impression of him.

"Very well. Head to the Capital as soon as you can," Nevreal said. "I will talk to His Majesty and inform him of your arrival."

After gaining Nevreal's assurance, Lux used the Teleportation Gate of the Stronghold of Norria.

Truth be told, he also wanted to see Millie and Princess Anastasia, who had turned sixteen years old a few months ago.

They were the two people who had survived alongside him in the Wolfpine Barony, where they met Teju Jagua and the member of Memento Mori for the first time.

He didn't know when he could return to the Capital City of the Kingdom of Gweliven after he had gotten his revenge on Twilight Rain.

So, he planned to use this opportunity to see whether his two friends were doing well before joining the battle that was being waged in places the common folk of the Kingdom wouldn't see.
