Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

The two Gravity Domains repeatedly clashed, nullifying each other's effect.

In a fit of anger, the Giant Raptor unleashed a breath attack toward the annoying Dragon Born who was in the sky, forcing Cethus to take evasive actions.

"You're just an overgrown lizard." Cethus sneered. "Aren't you sad that you can't grow wings and catch up to me?"

However, the sneer on his face faded the moment the Giant Raptor jumped toward him, jaw wide open in an attempt to bite him in the air.

Of course, the attack missed, but something unexpected happened which made the Dragon Born curse internally.

The Giant Raptor manipulated the gravity in his body, and used it to fly in the sky!

"F*ck!" Cethus cursed. "Why don't you fight me fair and square?! You're not allowed to fly!"

This time, it was the Giant Raptor's turn to sneer. Clearly, the Dragon Born had truly offended it, and now, it wanted nothing more than to shred the arrogant bastard with its razor-sharp teeth.

But, just as World Boss was about to catch up to his target, a Dragon's Breath shot up from the ground, hitting the Monster's body, making it cry out in pain.

It was at that moment that an arrogant voice, which sounded like it looked down upon everyone in the world, reached Cethus' ears.

"Fight someone your own size, Punk!" Avernus roared before soaring towards the sky.

The Dragon Born's fear and anxiety disappeared the moment he saw his backup arrive.

"Uncle Avernus!" Cethus shouted when he saw the Dracolich engage the Giant Raptor in close combat.

The two were both Peak, Empyrean-Ranked World Bosses, but Avernus had a slight advantage over his opponent due to his race.

Although the Giant Raptor had a dragon-like appearance, it still wasn't a true dragon, so the Dracolich was able to push it back.

But this advantage disappeared the moment the Giant Raptor roared and activated its Gravity Domain, almost making Avernus fall from the sky.

Fortunately, Cethus was there to cancel it just in time, allowing the Dracolich to grab hold of the Giant Raptor's body, and slam it toward the ground.

While this was happening, Lux, Keane, and Gerhart busily dealt with the small fries on the ground.

Lux wanted to finish the battle early, but he was hesitant to use the skill, Deus-Gigantia. He was afraid that if he really summoned the Giant Skeleton King, it would alert the Demigod that was located inside the Black Ship.

He also didn't ask Blackfire to summon the Saints to help him in battle.

Only Leonidas, the Gladiators, and the Bounty Hunters assisted Lux in his fight against the Dinosaur-like Creatures.

Because of this, he ordered his Undead Army to focus on the five, Alpha-Ranked Dreadnaught Monsters, while he, Keane, and Gerhart deal with the Deimos-Ranked Raptors.

The battle ended half an hour later with Lux's victory.

After collecting the Beast Cores, he didn't hesitate to absorb the Giant Raptor's Beast Core first.

He was very curious to know what kind of skill he would learn from such a powerful Monster.

But, to his dismay, the only skill he learned was a passive one, and it only worked on a situational basis.

The skill he gained was none other than.

< Gravity Resistance [SSR] >

However, after evolving once, it became, < Gravity Resistance [Epic] >.

< Gravity Resistance [Epic] >

— This skill will allow you to ignore any changes in the gravity in your surroundings.

— You will also gain immunity to any Gravity Offensive Skills below the [Divine Rank].

— This skill covers a two-hundred-meter radius, allowing your allies to benefit from its effect.

Although the skill didn't look that powerful, it was a perfect skill to have in the Lost Ark, where the gravity greatly affected their performance in battle.

Lux glanced at the dead bodies of the Raptors and ordered his subordinates to dig out the Beast Cores in their bodies.

When this was done, he stored the Raptors inside his Bounty Rings because he planned to use them later.

He glanced in the direction of the Black Ship in the distance and then at his Elysium Compendium. Seeing that nothing changed, the Half-Elf decided to continue hunting the Monsters that resided on the outskirts of the Domain.

As long as the Demigod didn't make any move to stop them, he would continue to farm Beast Cores, which was the fastest way to increase his rank.

While Lux and his friends were busy getting stronger, the Divine Army of Light had finished sending their invitations to all the powerful factions in Elysium.

Their branches that were scattered throughout the major cities of different Kingdoms extended invitations to the smaller Kingdoms who were not part of their organization.

A week later, one of their missionaries arrived at the Xeno Kingdom and presented the invitation to Victor.

After seeing the contents of the letter, Victor agreed to participate in the Founding Anniversary of the Divine Army of Light.

He felt that this was the perfect opportunity to get to know the powerful factions in the continent and form connections with them.

This was exactly the opportunity that he was hoping to get, so he didn't hesitate to accept the missionary's invitation.

If he was lucky, he might even be able to join the Divine Army's War Council, which would raise the prestige of his Kingdom.

His son, Tristan, had just returned from his diplomatic mission with their neighbors.

But, when he heard about the contents of the letter, he decided to accompany his Father on his visit to the Divine Empire to see for himself just what kind of organization it was.

Victor agreed to his proposal. After that, the King told him everything that had happened in their kingdom since his departure, including Aina's decision to have a fiance.

When the oldest son of the Goldenslayer family learned that Aina now had a fiance, he immediately demanded to see Lux.

However, Aina had no idea where Lux was currently, so her older brother had no choice but to wait until he visited their kingdom again.

"Father, what is Aina's fiance like?" Tristan asked. "For her to take the initiative to make him her fiance, it means that she really likes him, right?"

Victor sighed after hearing his son's words.

"Liking is an understatement," Victor replied. "That bastard took her chastity right after the threat of the Beast Tide was gone."

"What?!" Tristan couldn't help but look at his father in disbelief. He knew how overprotective his father was, so he found it hard to believe that his father allowed the situation to progress that far.

"Let it be." Victor waved his hand in order to dismiss Tristan's attempt to pry more information from him. "If you want to know more, ask your mother. Just thinking about that Half-Elf infuriates me."

Tristan nodded. "Fine. I'll ask Mother later. Let's talk about our trip to the Divine Empire. We need to make a good impression. What kind of gifts should we bring?"

"About that, I was thinking about giving them one of our prized treasures," Victor replied.

"I think that's fine." Tristan agreed. "So, it will only be the two of us going?"

"Yes. So get ready to leave in a week's time."

"Understood."

The two then busied themselves on their journey to the Divine Empire.

They were not aware that by going to that event, they would not only see the most influential people in Elysium, but they would also find themselves seated in the front row of a grand event, which would make them realize that the identity of Aina's fiance as not as simple as they originally thought it was.
