Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



Lux paced back and forth as he waited for Hana to wake up.

Her injuries were already healed, but her physical, mental, and spiritual power had reached its limit, making her fall into a temporary coma.

The Half-Elf was certain that once she recovered a bit of her strength, she would wake up eventually. 

However, a day had passed since Hana appeared before him. Before she fell unconscious, she was only able to speak a few words. This was her desperate attempt to inform Lux what had happened.

"M-Master… The Divine… Army."

Four words.

It was only four words, but it was more than enough to tell him that his Master, Gaap, had clashed with the Divine Army of Light.

As one of his Covenant Members, Hana would never leave Gaap's side unless it was a last resort. 

Among Gaap's Covenant Members, Hana specialized in support magic. She could bend space, cast spells that boost her allies' strength, as well as use other spells that would help them in battle.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that her role was very important because she was the one who ensured that her team wouldn't be at a disadvantage.

The only time when she would fail to do so was if they faced an opponent that could overpower Gaap's trump card, Antero.

'Did he get ambushed by several Supremes?' Lux thought. 'Does the Divine Army have a Demigod under their wing?'

As far as he knew, the DIvine Army didn't have a Demigod in their ranks. They only had one Supreme, whom he believed was still injured.

Antero was very powerful, so an injured Supreme couldn't possibly deal with the Golem of Destruction.

Even if that Supreme had recovered completely, he alone wouldn't be able to fight Antero head-on.

'Maybe he is really facing more than one Supreme.' Lux clenched his fists in anger. 'It is also possible that they have employed more than one Demigod to ambush Master.'

The Half-Elf continued to pace back and forth inside his room as he waited for Hana to wake up. He hadn't slept a wink for a day because he wanted to be awake when she woke up.

Iris and Cai were worried about Lux, but the Half-Elf said that he wanted to be alone for the time being. They understood how important Gaap was to him, so they gave him some space and waited for him to come out of his room.

Two more days passed, but there was still no sign of Hana waking up.

That was the day when Aur came to visit Lux in his Guild Headquarters, and the Dragon Prince's expression had a rare look of anxiety on his face.

"I've come to give you this letter," Aur said as he handed a sealed letter to Lux. "My Aunt also received one. If the contents of the two letters are the same, then I have an idea about what it entails."

Lux nodded before breaking the seal of the letter and reading its contents. A moment later, the Half-Elf smashed his fist on the wall of his room, creating a hole in it. 

"Bastards!" Lux growled in anger. 

Aur looked at the Half-Elf's bloodied fist and sighed in his heart. 

Without saying a word, the Dragon Prince held Lux's injured hand and blew on it. The injury slowly closed up, until it fully recovered. 

He then took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood that remained on the Half-Elf's hand.

Lux didn't resist as his chest heaved up and down due to anger. He closed his eyes and bit his lips until it drew blood. 

Aur, who had just finished healing Lux's hand frowned. Still, he didn't say anything and blew on the Half-Elf's lips before wiping the remaining blood with his handkerchief.

"It seems that the Divine Army wanted to make this a big event," Aur said softly. "They sent invitations to other powers in the continent, asking them to celebrate their Founder's Anniversary."

The Dragon Prince didn't say the other half because there was no need to do so. 

The Divine Army Of Light intended to showcase a grand execution on their Founder's Anniversary. They probably wanted to do this to show that anyone who dared to cross them would not be tolerated.

Of course, since they didn't kill Gaap right away, it was quite obvious that they planned to use him as bait, in hopes that Lux would make an appearance.

He was one of the people that the Divine Army had branded as a Heretic, but they couldn't touch him because he was currently inside the territory of the Crystal Palace.

According to the agreement, if Lux left the borders of the Crystal Palace, the Divine Army could capture him, and Lady Augustina would not get in the way.

Since that was the case, they only needed to force the Half-Elf to come out of hiding and voluntarily head to their home base.

Simply put, there was no better bait to use than Gaap, whom Lux cared for very much.

Lux slowly raised his head to look at the Dragon Prince.

His gaze was steady and seemed to see right through his soul.

Aur held his gaze, and the two of them stared at each other for nearly a minute before the Dragon Prince spoke.

"You and I both know that this is a trap," Aur said. "The venue is in the Capital City of the Divine Empire, and their security will be airtight. You may be thinking of asking my Aunt for help, but there is a high chance that she won't agree. 

"If she were to break her agreement with the Divine Army of Light, then nothing would stop them from breaking their agreement with us as well.

"They will definitely send their people to destroy your Guild Headquarters and kill your people. Right now, the only reason why they haven't done anything is because you are under the protection of the Crystal Palace."

Lux turned around and gazed at where the sleeping Hana lay on his bed. She had a pained expression on her face, which hadn't changed since she had lost consciousness.

Perhaps the reason why she came to look for Lux, despite her injured state was to ask for his help to save her Master.

The Half-Elf once again closed his eyes as he took a deep breath.

"I need some time alone," Lux said without even turning to look at the Dragon Prince behind him. "Thank you for bringing this letter to me."

Aur wanted to say something but decided to hold his words for the time being. 

He wanted to say that he would do everything he could do to help, but he knew that Lux didn't need empty promises at the moment. 

Since he wasn't certain that he could convince his Aunt to help the Half-Elf save his Master, he decided to not say anything.

The Dragon Prince gave the Half-Elf one last glance before closing the door behind him.

"One month…," Lux muttered. "They will execute Master in a month."

The Half-Elf looked at the letter in his hand before burning it to ashes.

He knew that it was impossible for him to fight the entirety of the Divine Army by himself, but right now, he had no other choice but to try.

"Wait for me, Master," Lux said. "I'm coming for you."
