Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 940 No Need To Show Us The Way Out



The Blood Ogre's skin returned to its original red color before it collapsed on the ground with an unresigned roar.

It was a Calamity-Ranked Beast strong enough to threaten the entirety of Agartha.

However, because of the Misfortune that had been planted in its body, it was unable to use its power to the fullest, resulting in its downfall.

Hundreds of meters away from it, the Golden Naga lay, its golden eyes looking complexly at the sky, as if asking the heavens why it had to suffer in this manner.

Both Monsters were yet to die, and they were still clinging to life to the best of their abilities.

King Louis, who saw this, decided to personally end the life of these monsters, and take their Beast Cores away.

However, before he could even do that, a giant Dracolich landed in front of him, blocking his path.

"Don't even think about it, Peasant," Avernus stated. "Move or I will send you to the afterlife."

King Louis, as well as the Saints beside him, glared at the Dracolich, who was looking down on them.

'It's just one Dracolich,' one of the Saints said to King Louis using telepathy. 'We can kill it easily.'

'No,' King Louis replied. 'Stand down. This is a creature we cannot offend.'

The King of Exiles knew that if they really attacked the Dracolich over this petty matter, their city would truly be destroyed.

The only reason why he wanted to kill the Calamity-Ranked Monsters was to ensure that they would no longer pose any danger to his city.

As for getting the Beast Cores, he planned to negotiate with the Dracolich's Master, who had the Half-Elf on his back, for them.

Since his city was destroyed due to their actions, he believed that it was only right that they were compensated for it.

However, before he could even open his mouth to talk to the Half-Elf and start a negotiation, Blackfire casually devoured the two dying monsters, making the King of Exile's lips twitch.

The Black Coffin didn't give a hoot about whatever the Saints were thinking. It had called dibs on the two monsters the moment they appeared. 

If the King of Exiles and his merry band of Saints, dared to stand in its way, it wouldn't mind adding five more Saints to its collection!

Avernus chuckled and raised its tail to high-five the black coffin, which happily returned the gesture.

Seeing his two shameless allies act like this made Lux shake his head helplessly.

"Um, sorry about what happened," Lux stated. "It was our fault that those two monsters escaped."

King Louis and the Saints looked at the Half-Elf and felt a little relieved that at least Lux was being civil with them.

"Since you admit that you were at fault, what can you do about this mess that you created?" King Louis asked. "Many of my subjects died in this siege. You can't possibly brush that aside, no?"

"As a matter of fact, we can," Avernus replied as he used his Dragon Fear and Intimidation Ability against the Five Saints, making them feel as if they were carrying the weight of an entire mountain on their shoulders. "You have a problem, brah?"

The Dracolich's words were filled with disdain and contempt, which made Cethus wonder if he could call the Dracolich his Uncle.

As someone who liked to look down on Low Landers, any Dragon or Dragon Born who had this ability was an Idol in his eyes.

King Louis gritted his teeth and stepped forward as if he had reached his limit. The Four Saints standing by his side did the same.

But the moment they did that, they suddenly found themselves surrounded from all sides by the Undead and Hell Legion.

Heck, even Eiko had summoned Blast Bombs in her hands, ready to throw the moment the Saints took another step.

Blackfire was also quick to summon the Tiger Saint and the Paladin Saint.

The Black Coffin also made a gesture, moving its lid up and down as if to taunt King Louis and telling him to come if he dared.

"If you insist on hurting Lux, I will curse you for eternity," Aurora, who had arrived at the standoff while riding on one of the Doomsday Gargoyles, said firmly.

"Misfortune's Beloved," King Louis said with a smile. "It seems that the Kingdom of Agartha will once again suffer from bad luck. Well, not that I mind. I even wish that you infect everyone with your curse. By doing so, they might feel a fraction of the pain we suffered when they exiled us to this land. Worry not, Princess. The Exiles will fully support you."

Aurora smiled back. "Do not think that I am a gullible girl who will become one of your pawns, Uncle? Father sent you to this place because you tried to start a civil war. Even though I have been locked up inside the Cold Tower, I have heard of your exploits that caused many of our citizens to perish."

"You may not be gullible, but you're naive," King Louis replied. "It is time for Agartha to rise to the Surface World and become a powerhouse. Your adoptive father is a coward and an incompetent fool who believes that the Status Quo must be maintained. Agartha has long stagnated under the hands of incompetent rulers!"

Aurora didn't reply and simply looked at the King of Exiles who had been biding his time, gathering support inside the Pantheon of Exile to overthrow her father's rule.

In her eyes, greedy people like Louis, who coveted power and resources to the extent of waging war on the Surface World, were the worst.

"Let's go, Aurora," Lux said. "Let's leave this place."

The Half-Elf had no intention of joining the political struggles of the Kingdom of Agartha. He only came to the Pantheon of Exile to free Aurora, and he couldn't care less who sat on the Agarthian throne.

Aurora nodded as the Doomsday Gargoyle flew towards Lux, allowing the Half-Elf to carry Misfortune's beloved in his arms.

"We're leaving," Lux stated. "No need to show us the way out."

Lux opened his Draconic Wings and flew towards the beach area, where they had disembarked.

His comrades did the same, and the Army of Undead followed them. 

They were still in enemy territory, so Lux didn't unsummon his forces. He only joined the battle because he knew that Aurora would feel guilty if more people died because of her.

King Louis watched them go as he held back the killing intent that was oozing from his body.

Although his city had been destroyed and some of the exiles had died, he was still fine with it because the Castle was still standing.

Most of the treasures as well as the weapons that they had prepared for their inevitable return to the Kingdom of Agartha were stored in the Castle's treasury.

As long as that was left untouched, they would still be able to recover the losses that they had suffered today.

What they didn't know was that two Little Skeletons had infiltrated their castle as per Aurora's order when the battle was still underway.

The young lady had recognized the King of Exiles and knew of the atrocities that he had committed in the past. 

Since they were doing their best to protect the castle at all costs, the young lady deemed that there must be something important inside it that they couldn't allow to be destroyed.

Zane and Zeke were able to bypass the protection of the Treasury because all the Saints were busy.

The two Little Skeletons then informed Lux of their discovery, and he sent one of Eiko's clones to sneak inside the castle.

Truth be told, Avernus' earlier performance was their way of buying more time for Eiko's clone to swallow up everything inside the treasury.

By the time King Louis and the Saints discovered what had happened, the Half-Elf and his comrades had already boarded the Bone Ship Octavius and set sail, making their way back to the Atlas Stronghold.
