Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



In the eyes of the Satyrs, the battle seemed to have easily shifted in their favor after only a few minutes since the fight started.

However, those who were fighting, especially Lux, Piccoro, and Lilian, knew that the only reason why they were able to resist was due to Gaap's impeccable defense.

The Dragon Born and the Wicked Queen Slime were quite surprised by Gaap's ability to block a powerful attack that was coming from a Demigod.

Seeing this, they lowered their guards a little and became bolder, increasing the pace of their attacks against the Succubus Queen, who was now starting to doubt her abilities.

'Impossible!' Queen Rhiannon shouted internally. 'How could this be happening?! Just what are these giant hands that this Halfling is controlling?! How can it block my attacks as if they were low-ranked spells?!'

Question after question popped up inside Queen Rhiannon's head. She didn't know that Gaap had temporarily unlocked Antero's seal, raising his Rank back to the Demigod Level.

Although it took a toll on his lifespan, it wasn't as cumbersome as before since he was only using the hands of the Golem of Destruction to block the Succubus Queen's attacks.

"We need to finish this battle as soon as possible," Lux said through telepathy. "Master can't fight long battles."

After they all teamed up, the Wicked Queen Slime created a spell that allowed all of them to communicate telepathically. This was to ensure that their opponent wouldn't be able to hear their strategies in real-time.

"Understood!" Piccoro replied and once again engaged the Succubus in a deadly battle in the sky.

Every time Queen Rhiannon tried to close the distance to kill the Dragon Born, Lilian or Gaap would get in her way, forcing her to dodge or back away.

On the other hand, Lux concentrated on draining the Succubus Queen's Mana, preventing her from casting powerful spells, similar to the one she used earlier.

"Duel [EX]!" Pazuzu's clone, who was flying in the sky, used the Taunt Skill to prevent Rhiannon from landing an attack against Piccoro.

The Succubus Queen had suddenly increased her speed, surpassing the calculations of Lilian and Gaap, which created an opening for a decisive blow on the Dragon Born.

Fortunately, Lux's Named Creatures were also paying close attention to the Succubus Queen and were just waiting for a good opportunity to strike.

But something unexpected happened.

After Pazuzu's clone used the skill, Duel [EX], Queen Rhiannon's body only stopped for a brief moment before she slashed at the Dragon Born using the purple dagger in her hand, which looked extremely poisonous.

But those few seconds that she had lost proved to be crucial as it provided Piccoro time to back away, just in time for Gaap's and Lilian's attacks to arrive at the scene.

This prevented the Succubus Queen from pursuing her target, making her glare hatefully at Pazuzu's clone.

With a flick of her hand, the dagger in her hand flew towards Pazuzu's clone in a heartbeat, creating a big hole in its chest.

Pazuzu's Gut Skill activated, but due to the poison that coated the dagger's blade, the clone died a few seconds later and turned into particles of light.

"Duel [EX] doesn't work on Demigods…" Lux narrowed his eyes because this was the first time that the skill, Duel [EX], had failed to give them the result they wanted.

It was a skill that the Half-Elf had used repeatedly in the past and, without it, he would have definitely faced a lot of hardships while fighting against strong opponents.

'It could stall them for two seconds at most,' Lux thought. 'Perhaps even three seconds, if we are lucky. I'm glad I learned this information now. Otherwise, I would have made a great mistake if I had to fight beings that were as strong as Demigods without them.'

The red-headed teenager's curiosity was ignited, so he summoned Calypso in order to test his theory.

In her Living Armor Form, Calypso could fight autonomously, or merge with Lux, granting him a suit of armor.

But Lux didn't intend to wear the Living Armor at the moment. He wanted to experiment if the skill Duel [Epic] would work against a Demigod.

"Calypso, do it," Lux ordered.

"Yes, Master," Calypso replied.

The Living Armor then rose towards the sky and observed the battle between Piccoro and Queen Rhiannon. A moment later, she activated her skill when she deemed that the right time had come.

"Duel [Epic]!"

Piccoro and Queen Rhiannon were exchanging blows in close combat.

The Succubus Queen was fast, and her magical attacks were strong. But in terms of raw strength, the Dragon Born had the advantage.

Due to the fact that she was unable to cast powerful skills due to Lux and his supports casting Mana Drain every half a minute, she had no choice but to resort to close combat to get rid of the annoying Dragon Born, who was being aided by Gaap and Lilian.

Just as the two were about to clash with each other, Calypso activated her skill, Duel [Epic], which made the Succubus Queen's body stiffen.

"Take this!" Piccoro, who seemed to understand what just happened, didn't miss the opportunity to land a powerful blow on Queen Rhiannon's body, sending the Succubus Queen flying backward.

"Five seconds, Master," Calypso reported. "I can only stop her for five seconds after using my Duel Skill."

Rhiannon's Succubus Garment was damaged due to Piccoro's attack, but due to its powerful defensive abilities, the Succubus Queen only suffered a very shallow wound.

This wound, however, was immediately regenerated by her Regeneration Ability, but it didn't change the fact that her opponent could now land a blow on her body.

"Lux, summon your Light Elemental," Gaap said after seeing the effect of Lux's experiment. "The creatures of the Abyss are inherently weak against Light and Divine Magic. If you use the Light Elemental's skill, Field of Light, we can create a battleground that is disadvantageous to our enemy."

"Understood, Master," Lux replied before summoning his Greater Light Elemental to join the battle.

But he didn't stop there.

He also summoned Seraphina, who was a Divine Angel. He believed that even if she had been weakened due to the laws that bound Heavenly Beings, she could still use Divine Magic to help suppress their opponent.

"Eiko, summon Slimes that have Light or Divine Elements," Lux ordered.

"Pa!" Eiko nodded before she and her clones all raised their hands together. "Summon!"

Five Argonaut-Ranked Radiant Slimes appeared beside the Fairy Princess and waited for her orders.

"Greater Light Elemental, Seraphina, use Field of Light!" Lux commanded.

Immediately, the Light elemental spread its arms wide, expanding its brilliance into its surroundings.

Seraphina clasped her hands together in prayer and emitted her Divine Powers to help increase the power of the Field of Light that the Light Elemental had summoned.

"Ei!" Eiko and her clones also commanded the Radiant Slimes to assist the Greater Light Elemental.

One by one, the Radiant Slimes glowed brightly like giant light bulbs in the darkness.

With the Divine Angel's as well as the Radiant Slimes' help, the Field of Light spread for miles above and below the ground, making the Succubus Queen draw in cold breath.

Her pride was the only thing stopping her from backing down, despite the fact that she was unable to get the upper hand against her weak opponents, who were ganging up on her.

"Now then, Queen Rhiannon, are you ready for round two?" Piccoro, who now felt that they could finally win the battle, asked in an arrogant tone.

Earlier, he was struggling to land an attack on his opponent despite the backup from his comrades.

However, with the Field of Light active, he could tell that the Succubus Queen's Aura had weakened considerably.

Also, now that he had seen that Lux was capable of stopping his opponent for a few seconds, the Dragon Born, who had the most battle experience in fighting against Abyssal Monsters—second only to Lady Augustina, finally saw that victory was within his reach.
