Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Baronar took out a scroll from his storage ring and wrote several intricate runes over it.

"This scroll is the second Skill Scroll that I made when I was younger," Baronar explained as he continued to write more runes over the scroll's surface. "However, I have learned many things since then. I have trained many Orc Shamans, and all of them are now able to create their own unique Spirit Warriors. Unfortunately, none of their Spirit Warriors could come close to the level of what mine could do.

"It's quite funny that you were able to acquire my abilities inside a Dungeon. Perhaps it's fate, or some other kind of power at play, but knowing that someone out there managed to inherit my legacy makes me somewhat happy."

Baronar added the last rune to the scroll and pressed his palm against it as if marking it with his seal.

"Here you go," Baronar said as he handed the completed Skill Scroll to Lux. "Although I may not be your Master, and you are not my Disciple, I expect good things from you. After all, you have made my power your own, right?"

Lux bowed gratefully to the Orc Shaman before accepting the Skill Scroll with both hands. Only those who had mastered their arts to the peak could create something like this, and what he had in his hand was a very valuable consumable item that would go for millions of Gold in Auction Houses.

Unlike Beast Cores which gave people a small chance to learn skills from them, Skill Books and Skill Scrolls were guaranteed to give you a skill. This was what made them much more valuable to other people, especially those that belonged to the Royal Families or other Influential Clans.

"Thank you, Your Excellency," Lux replied. "I will put it to good use. Here is the Abyssal Beast Core that you wanted."

The Half-Elf offered the black Abyssal Core to the Great Orc Shaman, who happily took it with a smile.

"The trade is done," Baronar stated as he brought the Abyssal Core close to his eyes to give it a closer inspection. "I'll give you the bones later tonight. Also, make sure to prepare a gift for the Orc Chieftain to get in her good graces. I'll take my leave for now."

After bidding his goodbye, the Great Orc Shaman left the room in order to return to his own quarters. He didn't plan on absorbing the Abyssal Core right away. For Baronar, this was the perfect opportunity to do some experiments in order to get a higher chance of acquiring a skill from the Beast Core he had acquired from Lux.

"I'll go to my room as well," Lux said to his companions. "If there is something important, just call for me. Eiko, you can stay and play with Cora and Nora, but make sure that you guys don't leave the residence, okay?"

Eiko nodded her head. "Pa!"

The Baby Slime was having fun talking to Cora and Nora, so Lux decided to let her stay with them for the time being. His priority right now was to go to his room and do two things.

The first one was to use the Skill Scroll and gain a new powerful unit to enhance the performance of his Undead Legion.

The second one was to summon Asmodeus and discuss what they should do with the Abyssal Monster Corpse in his possession, as well as the Deimos and Argonaut-Ranked Beast Bones that Baronar would be giving them later.

The cooldown for the Skeleton Generator Skill had finished, and it was about time for him to create another monster to join his army.

After making sure that the door was firmly closed, Lux took a few deep breaths before sitting on top of the bed. He then activated the Skill Scroll in his hand in order to absorb its powers.

< Your Skill, Summon Elite Spirit Warrior, has received an upgrade >

< Choose one of the options to complete your upgrade >

– Elite Spirit Shield Warriors

– Elite Spirit Hunters

Note: After choosing one of the options, that unit will evolve to become a stronger unit due to the effect of Baronar's Legacy. Your choice is irreversible, so make sure to choose wisely!

—------------

"Baronar really went all out on this one," Lux muttered. "That trade was worth it."

Although there were several choices on the list, Lux had already made up his mind and chose Elite Spirit Shield Warriors.

He didn't need Spirit Berserkers because he already had the Skeleton Gang Bangers to play a similar role.

He also didn't need Spirit Hunters because the Skeleton Arcane Hunters and Liches were already potent enough for long-range attacks.

What Lux really needed right now were Meat Shields.

Lots of Meat Shields.

After making his choice, he heard a ringing sound in his head confirming his choice.

Lux waited patiently until the progression bar hit 100%. He didn't know what the Elite Spirit Shield Warriors would evolve into, but he was very optimistic about how they would turn out.

Finally, after two minutes of waiting, the evolution progress was completed.

"Finally, I have more tanks in my army," Lux said with a smile. "Come, Asmodeus."

The Half-Elf summoned his trusted strategist, whom he'd ask for advice when it came to the expansion of his Undead Legion.

Lux's personal army was enough to defeat an E-Ranker, and even contend with D-Rankers to a certain extent.

He would also have no trouble fighting against Deimos Ranked Beasts. As for Argonaut-Ranked Monsters, Lux wasn't too confident of his chances.

Even so, very few individuals around his age could match the Half-Elf in single or group battles due to the quantity and quality of his Summons.

"Master, back then, I advised you to use the skill Animate Undead to transform the Abyssal Corpse into an Undead Monster," Asmodeus stated. "However, we have more choices now. Truth be told, aside from you, Diablo, and Zagan, no one else in our army has the ability to deal True Damage to our enemies, which can break past their defenses and target their souls.

"Right now, we have three options. First, we can use the Skeleton Generator Skill, and use the Abyssal Corpse as an ingredient to get a Random Higher Undead Monster.

"Our second option is to simply use the Animate Undead Skill, and choose among the options available there like you did with Revon. That way, the new monster will become Revon's subordinate.

"The last option is to make this creature a member of your Covenant. Similar to using the Animate Undead Skill, you can also choose what profession or form the new monster will take. Personally, I highly recommend that you choose the second or third option, Master."

Lux rubbed his chin as he considered Asmodeus' advice.

"Indeed, the Skeleton Generator is completely random," Lux replied. "Even if we somehow get an Abyssal Undead Monster, what will come of it is too unpredictable, and we have no control over it. However, if we used the Animate Undead Skill or make this monster a part of my Covenant, the profession it could get is within the scope of my control."

"Exactly, Master." Asmodeus nodded. "We must have both quantity and quality in our army. Although we might not get another exceptionally strong comrade like ALL-MITE, it is still possible to get a versatile unit like Ithaqua. What we need is diversity, so we will be able to make contingencies for any given situation."

Lux wholeheartedly agreed with Asmodeus' words. Because of this, he decided to think very carefully about how he would deal with the Abyssal Corpse in his possession, which had caused great trouble for him, Cai, and his Dragon Knight, Bedivere, several months ago.
