Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



Right after lunch, Iris and Cai took Aurora away, leaving Lux behind.

The two girls wanted to continue their "girl talk" and didn't want the Half-Elf to take part in their discussion.

Left with no choice, Lux decided to visit Keane and talk to him about his plans for the future.

"Actually, my Master will be leaving soon, so I think I will return to Elysium for a while," Keane said. "As to where exactly I'd go, I guess I'll explore the territory around the Crystal Palace. Anyway, our Guild Headquarters is already relocated there."

Lux smirked. "Are you sure you don't want to visit Rose first?"

"No." Keane shook his head. "She said that I should focus on training because something big is going to happen soon."

The Half-Elf frowned after hearing his friend's reply. After pondering a bit, he decided to pry further to make sure that he wasn't making a wrong assumption.

"Did she see another vision?" Lux asked. 

Keane held his friend's gaze before nodding his head. "Yes. But she refused to tell me what it was. All I know is that it is somehow related to you. She added that even if you try to look for her, she won't tell you a thing.

"I tried to ask further, but the only thing she said was that knowing what she saw in this particular vision wouldn't change a thing. In fact, it might only make things worse if you were to know about it."

The frown on Lux's face deepened. How could he not take Rose's vision seriously after what happened in the Abyss?

Although the worst-case scenario didn't happen, the things they experienced were a close call. If they made one wrong move, then the consequences would have been irredeemable.

Perhaps this was why Rose didn't want to tell him anything. 

If it was only a simple vision, he was certain that Cai's little sister wouldn't hesitate to tell him what she saw in order to let him prepare for the future.

Lux pinched the bridge of his nose in order to regain his composure. He just hoped that whatever would come to pass, wouldn't be as serious as what happened in the Abyss.

"Is there anything else that I should know?" Lux inquired. 

Keane shook his head. "Aside from telling me to do my best to increase my rank and get stronger, she didn't tell me anything else."

The Half-Elf sighed. A part of him regretted knowing this bit of information, and a part of him was thankful because it allowed him to rethink the goals that he wanted to accomplish.

Suddenly, both of them felt the presence of two powerful people descending from the sky. 

Before Lux and Keane could even react, two adults landed a few meters away from them.

After seeing who it was, the Half-Elf sighed in relief because it was none other than his Stepfather, Alexander, as well as the Great Chieftain of the Rowan Tribe, Maximilian.

But his expression changed again when he saw how exhausted and haggard both Saints were.

"Did something happen?" Lux asked. 

Alexander and Maximilian exchanged a glance before nodding their heads at the same time.

"A portal that led to the Abyss appeared near the Barbarian Kingdom," Alexander replied. "We went there to help seal it. However, it took some time. Hundreds of Abyssal Creatures, led by several Empyrean Ranked Monsters, managed to break through while we were sealing it."

"The forces of the Six Kingdoms were also there," Maximilian commented. "Although it took some time to close the gate and hunt the Abyssal Monsters that managed to escape, the danger they posed has been successfully eliminated.

"But everyone is still on high alert since there's a chance that another Gate will open. Fortunately, the Abyssal Gate was a low-level one. The strongest creatures that managed to cross this world were Empyrean Ranked Creatures. If a single Calamity managed to enter our world then…"

The Patriarch of the Rowan Tribe didn't need to finish the rest of his sentence because there was no need to do it. 

A Calamity-Ranked Abyssal Creature might be weaker than a Demigod. 

However, the Six Kingdoms only had three active Saints. The two other Saints were living as hermits, so they weren't very active at the moment.

If these five Saints were to work together then it might be possible to defeat the monster. However, this would only work if they weren't fighting its minions. But, if a gate were able to spawn Calamity-Ranked Abyssal Creatures, it was possible that more than one would be able to cross to Solais.

Beads of sweat formed on Lux's forehead when he thought of the worst-case scenario.

'If a single Demigod was able to pass through that Abyssal Gate then the Six Kingdoms would be completely destroyed.' Lux shuddered internally. 

The Half-Elf knew that they were only able to win against Queen Rhiannon when they fought due to his Master's defensive ability, using Antero to block her attacks.

Unfortunately, his Master couldn't come to Solais, and the strongest fighters in the Six Kingdoms were the Saints and him.

Although he already had Avernus on his side, he wasn't confident that they would be able to fend off a Demigod, unless his Dracolich had also broken through the Demigod Rank.

'Is this the vision that Rose saw?' Lux thought. 'Or is it something else?'

While Lux was deep in his thoughts, two other adults appeared beside them.

"Did you seal the gate?" Keane's Master asked. 

"Yes," Alexander answered. "Thank you two for guarding the academy while I was away."

Jack Spawow took a swig of his rum before grinning. "Well then, since everything has been dealt with, I'll be leaving in two days. There are still things I need to handle in Elysium, so unless it is a matter of life and death, don't look for me, okay?"

Alexander nodded. "Thank you, Jack. I'll send you your compensation later."

"As you should," Jack Spawow replied. "I'm off to buy another bottle of rum. Ta Ta~"

The Pirate Captain left with steady strides as he headed towards the city at the base of the mountain. 

When he could no longer be seen, Maximilian also bid his goodbye and returned to his Tribe. He hadn't had any rest for nearly a week since this incident started, and he wanted nothing more than to hit the sack.

Alexander felt the same, so he didn't stay for long, leaving Lux, Keane, and his Master behind.

The Half-Elf was still deep in thought, but he noticed something moving towards the city in the distance.

It was a flock of migratory birds that numbered in the hundreds. 

'For some reason, I am having a deja vu,' Lux thought as his eyes followed what was now about to fly past the city.

Due to his heightened vision, he was able to see a bit further than the rest.

Then it happened, all the birds started to poop at the same time, which made the Half-Elf shudder.

He only knew one person who would be subjected to that kind of bad luck, so he hurriedly opened his wings to fly toward the city.

Aurora was currently with Iris and Cai, and he had completely forgotten to tell them that the pink-haired beauty was a magnet for trouble, especially in places where there were a lot of people.

That day, a series of unfortunate events happened within the city, which made Lux temporarily forget the nagging feeling in the back of his mind.
