Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



Diablo, Ishtar, Revon, Zagan, and ALL-MITE, all infiltrated the Merchant Guild, while Pazuzu, Asmodeus, Orion, and Lazarus, stayed outside to block any possible reinforcements that would be coming from the outside.

Bedivere circled the skies above the Merchant Guild in order to help patrol the surroundings.

While this was happening, loud explosions that seemed to be coming from under the ground reverberated in the surroundings.

Ferron, the High-Rankers, as well as the Rankers that Lucius had hired to kill those who came to try to assassinate him that night thought that they had the upper hand against the two Assassins.

However, when they tried to attack King Leoric, Twelve Wraith Knights appeared out of nowhere and clashed with them, pushing them back.

The Wraith Knights were all Deimos-Ranked Alpha Monsters, who served as King Leoric's Royal Guards when they were still alive. They were once High-Rankers when they were alive, but now, they had become Monsters, and their strength had degraded, just like their king.

Even so, their sudden appearance made the members of Twilight Rain feel as if they had eaten a fly.

"Monsters!" Ferron shouted. "What organization do you hail from? Answer me!"

"Dead men tell no tales," King Leoric replied. "Now, die!"

With one powerful slash of his sword, King Leoric unleashed a pale blue, Ghostly Sword Slash backed with the full strength of a Dreadnaught-Ranked World Boss.

However, the members of Twilight Rain had fought against Dreadnaught and Empyrean-Ranked World Bosses before, so they calmly dealt with the blow by using their skills and artifacts to block it.

The outcome of this clash created a powerful explosion that shook the entire underground maze, making rocks, soil, and rubble fall from above their heads.

"We might get buried alive here," one of the High-Rankers said. "Ferron, take Lucius and escape aboveground. We'll hold them back and follow behind you, so hurry!"

Ferron didn't even bat an eye and immediately left through the backdoor with the intention of taking their employer to the secret passageway to escape the Merchant Guild.

Lucius had created several escape passages to be used for such emergencies, so Ferron was confident that they could escape this Assassination attempt from an organization that controlled powerful monsters.

When Ferron entered his employer's bedroom, he immediately saw an anxious-looking Lucius looking at him with bloodshot eyes.

"What is happening out there?" Lucius asked. "Just who is attacking us?!"

"I don't know," Ferron replied. "But, whoever they are, they came prepared. We have to escape, Master. This place is no longer safe."

Lucius nodded and took out a book from the bookshelf. As soon as he did that, a passageway opened in the wall.

Without even waiting for Ferron to tell him anything, the Merchant decisively ran through the passageway, followed by his right-hand man. A moment later, the passageway closed, revealing an ordinary wall that had no redeeming features.

Meanwhile, the High-Rankers and Rankers who were fighting against King Leoric and his Wraith Knights knew that enough time had passed, so they also left in haste. There was another exit aside from Lucius' bedroom, and this was also the path they took in order to leave the underground.

Draven, who had remained at the back during the entire battle, ran towards the backdoor that Ferron had taken earlier.

King Leoric and his Wraith Knights didn't hesitate and followed the Shadow Lord. The High-Ranker and the Rankers from Twilight Rain weren't their priorities.

Their objective was to capture Lucius, and that was what they were going to do.

Meanwhile, above ground, the Rankers who had escaped the underground passageway found themselves facing hundreds of Undead when they emerged.

"Undead?" one of the Rankers frowned. "What are the Undead doing here?"

"Did Lucius perhaps make a Necromancer his enemy?" another Ranker commented. "Aish. These bastards are a thorny lot. I fought one of them in the past, and barely escaped with my life."

"Don't worry, they're just small fries," a gray-haired Ranker stated. "Let's just kill them all and escape."

"Right. These small fries are nothing."

"Follow me!"

Naturally, these low-ranking monsters weren't a threat to them, so they calmly dealt with them, and bulldozed their way out.

They had just exited the premises when a blinding blue light flashed in front of them, forcing them to cover their eyes for a brief moment.

One of Lux's Legendary Artifacts that was given to him by Great General Sherlock was capable of summoning one Greater Elemental Monster of his choosing (Deimos Rank).

However, after their meeting with the Transcendent Flames, Randolph tweaked the artifact and refined it further, boosting its effectiveness.

Now, instead of one Deimos-Rank Great Elemental Monster, Lux could summon a Deimos-Rank World Boss Elemental of his choosing.

Lux had summoned a Greater Light Elemental (Deimos-Ranked World Boss), in order to deal with the Rankers.

He could have summoned a Greater Fire Elemental, and blown things up, but he was afraid that the flames would spread to the entire city, causing massive damage to their surroundings.

The reason why he chose the Greater Light Elemental is due to its Divine Presence in the battlefield, which would make the Dwarves who saw it think that it was not a Monster that was attacking the city, but a Monster that was fighting for them.

After seeing its targets, the Greater Light Elemental unleashed Light Rays that forced the Rankers to dodge.

Loud explosions once again spread in the surroundings as the battle broke out within the premises of the Merchant's Guild.

Nevreal and Robin, who were watching the battle from afar, suddenly heard a playful voice behind them.

"Looks like things are heating up over there."

The middle-aged Dwarf and the Dwarf Prince looked behind them only to see the adorable, and spoiled princess of the Kingdom of Gweliven.

"Anastasia?" Robin frowned. "What are you doing here?"

"Why shouldn't I be here?" Princess Anastasia replied. "Millie's Master informed her that something big was going to happen in Whitebridge City and that Sir Lux would be involved. Since that was the case, I came here to lend him my assistance!"

Princess Anastasia brought her own Royal Guards, as well as Four Rankers that served as her Guardians. She still felt indebted to Lux for being saved by him, so when Millie told her what was happening in Whitebridge City, she didn't hesitate and also made her move to help.

"Millie, go and see how you can help Sir Lux," Princess Anastasia ordered. "Also, make sure to tell him that I came all the way from the Capital City to help him. Make sure to let him know that, okay? It's very important!"

Millie, who had fought alongside Lux to rescue the Princess, nodded her head.

"Understood, Your Highness," Millie replied before flying towards the location of the battle.

Just like Princess Anastasia, the pretty Ranker also wanted to repay Lux for the debt she owed him.

Meanwhile, not far from the battle itself, several Rankers were ordering soldiers around to create a blockade, preventing the ordinary citizens from getting near the battlefield.

"We haven't seen him for a while, but it seems that our newest member knows how to party,"

"Hah, I should be sleeping right now. But, no. I had to deal with this mess."

Galileo Darwin and Charles Galilei, two members of the Order of the Griffin, chatted in a casual manner.

Behind them, hundreds of Mercenaries, who served as the Order of the Griffin's personal army, were waiting for their orders.

"Okay, boys, people are starting to wake up from all these ruckus," Charles said. "You know what to do, okay? Don't let anyone near the Merchant Guild. Use any method necessary to stop those who would try to bypass our blockade. However, don't resort to violence right away."

"Even if Peace isn't an option, it is our duty to protect our countrymen," Galileo said. "We don't harm the innocent, so remember that well. Now go!"

"""Yes, Sirs!"""

Since Lux's Undead Army had engaged the Rankers of Twilight Rain, the dome that had sectioned off the area had disappeared.

Curious people, as well as the City Guards, were now starting to flock towards the location of the explosions, making a blockade very important.

As the Kingdom's special agents, who specialized in sweeping everything under the rug, there were no better people than the mercenaries of the Order of the Griffin to control the situation.

These experts had been trained by the Leader of the Order the Dao of Bullsh*tting, so they could bullsh*t their way out of almost anything, including the furious Mayor of Whitebridge City, who was now headed to the battlefield.
