Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

294 Pride Of Solaris [Part 4]

Because of the appearance of the Undead Legion, the Giant Snapping Turtle left the Monstrous Terror Death Tyrant unprotected.

Lux, Einar, Vall, Keane, and Xander were the only survivors near it, so they tenaciously moved their aching bodies forward, intending to end the battle that they started.

Diablo, Ishtar, Pazuzu, Orion, and Asmodeus had already taken the lead, attacking the Boss Monster and protecting the remaining teenagers with everything they had.

Little by little, they tore away its Health, summing up into a huge chunk. The Boss Monster let out an otherworldly scream that echoed across the battlefield.

When the Death Tyrant's health was almost gone, its entire body turned blood-red.

Lux and his companions gazed at the giant, red skull, which glowed brightly within the Valley of Death, like a miniature sun.

"Foreigners, kill it quickly!" King Laurence shouted. "It's about to self-destruct! If it succeeds, all of us here will be buried alongside it! Kill it now!"

Simultaneous with the King's warning, Lux, Einar, Vall, Keane, and Xander, as well as the Half-Elf's Skeleton army, were about to deal the final blow.

But all of a sudden, the Giant Snapping Turtle turned to their direction and roared.

A powerful shockwave blew them away for dozens of meters, preventing them from getting close to the Boss Monster, whose floating eyes shone with an intense luster, signaling that it was about to self-destruct at any second.

Just when everyone was about to lose hope, a three-meter tall boar slammed its tusk into the back of the Death Tyrant's head, sending it crashing towards the ground.

"I'm Charging!" Cai's resounding voice reverberated within the battlefield as it fearlessly crashed against the Death Tyrant, which was about to self destruct.

Cai, who just recovered from her weakened state, had once again taken its Hildivisni Form and returned to the battlefield, dealing the last killing blow to the Boss Monster.

Immediately, ringing sounds followed by rows of text appeared in front of Lux, informing him that the Boss Monster had finally died, and the crisis was averted.

Cai, who had dealt the finishing blow, glowed several times, alongside Einar, Vall, Keane, and Xander, who had "leveled-up", and increased their stats after the battle came to a conclusion.

Seeing that the Death Tyrant was dead, the Giant Snapping Turtle decided that enough was enough and immediately burrowed towards the ground, leaving the battlefield behind.

"Wait! Don't let it get away!" Cai shouted. "The Flower! We need to get the Flower!"

After hearing Cai's shout, Lux, as well as the others, broke out of their daze and remembered the reason why they had come to challenge the Gate of Death.

As they were about to run after the turtle underground, one of the Death Knights, who was a former King of his Kingdom, blocked their path.

"You said you were looking for a flower," Farandir stated as he raised his hand, which held a beautiful white lotus. "Is this the flower you are looking for?"

Cai immediately ran towards the Death Knight so that it could double-check if it was indeed the flower they were looking for.

Lux had already used his appraisal skill earlier, so it was unnecessary for him to give it a second glance. It was indeed the Sacred White Lotus that they were looking for. After going through so many hardships, their group had finally acquired it.

"Yes! This is the flower we are looking for," Cai said happily as it took the Sacred White Lotus and placed it in a special container, before storing it carefully in a storage ring that was personally prepared by its grandpa.

"Thank you very much," Cai stated.

The Death Knight only waved its hand as if to tell Cai that it wasn't a big deal.

"It fell before the Giant Turtle escaped underground," Farandir commented. "I'm glad that we are able to somewhat repay you for the help that you've given us all."

Laurence, the other Death Knight, nodded his head before glancing at his son, Terence, who had inherited his Kingdom of Lockridge after he passed away.

Farandir did the same, as his son, Tarquinn, walked up to him and gave him a tight hug.

"You've done well, son," Farandir said as he patted Tarquinn's back. "You've made me proud."

Tarquinn didn't reply and only hugged his father, who had already turned into a Death Knight, tighter.

"Strangers from another world, I thank you for timely assistance during our time of great need," Laurence stated. "I have already died, so I have nothing more to offer you. However, seeing that you are a Necromancer, you might be able to put these Skill Books to good use."

Laurence handed Lux two ancient tomes, which were part of the rewards that Lux gained after accepting the mission, Return of the Kings.

Farandir, who had finished talking to his son, walked towards Einar and Vall, who were now seated on the ground due to exhaustion.

"We will be forever grateful to your deeds, even in the afterlife," Farandir said. "However, it would be tasteless if I departed without giving both of you a token of my gratitude."

Raising his hand, a black Battle Axe, with several gems embedded in the center of its blade, glowed faintly.

"Barbarian, you have earned the right to wield Blazefury, the War Axe of the Forsaken." Farandir handed the two-meter tall War Axe to Einar. The axe was nearly the same size as the latter's body, and its sharp blade was a meter long and as wide as the Barbarian's arm.

"It's quite heavy," Einar commented after testing his new weapon's weight. "I like it."

Farandir chuckled after hearing Einar's words. "Only you will be able to wield it in battle. The moment you activate the gems embedded in its blade, it will become as light as a feather, allowing you to rampage to your heart's content."

Lux appraised the War Axe in Einar's hand, and his jaw almost dropped after seeing its information.

Farandir ignored Lux's surprise and shifted his gaze towards Vall, who was looking up at him with a calm expression on his face. However, deep inside, the Spider Boy was quite excited about the reward that would be bestowed upon him by the Death Knight.

"You have done an amazing job in ensuring your allies to deal great damage to the monster that threatened the peace of our two kingdoms. For that, I bestow upon you this armor," Farandir said as he gave a silver chainmail to Vall.

Vall took the armor and nodded his head in satisfaction. It was not only Lux that had the ability to appraise things. There were some professions and special artifacts that were able to gauge the rarity and information of items, as long as it didn't surpass the rarity that it was capable of deciphering.

Vall had one of those artifacts in his possession, and it allowed him to read the information of the armor that he had just acquired from the Death Knight.

The two current Kings, who led the army of the two Kingdoms to assist Lux and the others to fight against the Death Tyrant, approached Cai, and Keane.

Both of them also received Pseudo-Legendary items that made Lux swallow his saliva out of envy.

Cai received winged boots that would allow it to run in air, while Keane received a flute that would allow him to summon a random High-Ranking Elemental Spirit to aid him in battle.

The Monstrous Death Tyrant had left a Pseudo-Deimos Ranked Beast Core, alongside its ten eyes that had floated around its body during the entirety of the battle.

Asmodeus nonchalantly picked up the Beast Core, leaving the Death Tyrant's eyes on the ground.

"Master, we can put this Beast Core to good use," Asmodeus whispered in Lux's ears. "Although the eyes of the Death Tyrants have its uses, it will be best if you divide them among the Barbarians, the Rowan Tribe, as well as Vall's guild. We can't be too greedy."

Lux nodded his head in understanding. Since he already had the Beast Core, it was only natural to give the other Monster Drops to the other people who had accompanied them till the bitter end.

Also, he could somehow understand why Asmodeus secured the Death Tyrant's Beast Core for their own. The two Skill Books that were given to Lux by the Death Knights were Animate Undead and Skeleton Make.

The Skeleton Make Skill was a unique skill, which Lux had only heard about for the first time. He planned to experiment with this skill later to understand its uses in battle better.

After giving their gifts to the teenagers, who had saved them from a calamity, the two Death Knights stood at the forefront of their Undead Army and gave the young heroes a salute.

All the Undead also raised their weapons as a way of saluting and thanking Lux and his companions, for freeing them from the enslavement of the Monstrous Terror Death Tyrant.

"Strangers that came from another world…" Laurence wasn't able to finish whatever he was going to say next because Lux interjected in the middle of his speech.

"Solaians," Lux said. "We came from the World of Solais. We are Solaians."

Cai, Einar, Vall, Keane, and Xander, stood tall as they gazed at the Death Knight, who gave them an understanding gaze.

"We bid you goodbye, Solaians," Laurence said with a smile. "Carry that pride with you wherever you go, and like a torch in the darkness, give hope to those who could see it."

Lux and the others nodded their heads, as they gave the two Death Knights, as well as their Undead Subordinates, a salute meant for heroes.

"May good fortune smile upon all of you." Farandir nodded his head in satisfaction before closing his eyes. "Finally… we can rest in peace."

The entire Undead Legion, which once guarded the Valley of Death to protect the Death Tyrant, turned to ashes. The wind carried them away, as if helping them to embark on their new journey in the afterlife.

Lux and his friends suddenly found themselves glowing faintly, as the words, "Dungeon Cleared", reached their ears.

They only had enough time to glance at each other with a smile before they disappeared, turning into particles of light.

A moment later, all of them were teleported outside the Gate of Death, making them the first individuals to ever clear one of the Gates in the Sacred Dungeon in Hell Mode Difficulty.

This was an achievement that would not be easy to replicate, given how difficult the battle they fought was, which they had only managed to accomplish due to everyone's determination and the people who led them to victory.
