Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

'Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!' Lux cursed to himself as he flew away like a mad lad in an attempt to distance himself from the Four Supremes who were hounding his back like devils.

Right now, he had no one to depend on aside from himself.

"Die!" one of the teenagers shouted as he punched forward, sending a blow that would instantly obliterate a mountain.

Lux summoned the Spear of Longinus and didn't hesitate to dive down to the ground, burying himself in it.

The Supreme's attack wasn't aimed at the ground, but the blow was strong enough to destroy the topography of the land.

Fortunately, Lux had dug deeply enough, so he managed to survive a direct hit from the teenager's merciless attack.

After his attack ended, the teenager coughed and spat out a mouthful of golden blood. His face turned bloodless, but aside from that, he was still able to endure the power inside his body.

"Be careful," one of his comrades said. "At most, we can only unleash two powerful attacks before we return to our God's embrace."

The pale-faced teenager nodded as he wiped away the golden blood that seeped out of the corner of his lips.

"I will take him to the afterlife with me, even if it's the last thing I do," the pale-faced teenager vowed.

His other comrades nodded before looking at the ground.

Even if they didn't launch any attacks, their bodies would soon reach their limit, so they couldn't afford to stay idle.

Lux, who also understood this, continued to dig deeper on the ground. This was his only path to survival.

Even if he had to dig until he reached the kingdom of Agartha, he would do it just to live another day!

The Oracle, who was paying close attention to Lux, didn't look too anxious as she held the Divine Bow in her hand.

'What you're doing is futile.' The Oracle sneered internally as she aimed in a certain direction. 'You are underestimating our Supremes. Do you really think you can escape just by hiding in the ground like a mole?'

Three of the Supremes looked at the only lady in their Ranks as if waiting for her to finish something.

A giant magic circle had appeared on the ground, and the runes in it were glowing brightly.

"Get into positions," the young lady ordered.

Immediately, two of the four teenagers flew in different directions and returned to the battlefield.

The two remaining Supremes took a fighting stance as if they were preparing to unleash their strongest attack.

The Oracle narrowed her eyes before letting go of the bowstring in her hand, sending her Arrow of Destruction flying.

As if waiting for that cue, the young lady shouted.

"Now!"

Immediately, the runes of the Magic Circle exploded into a shower of sparks.

A moment later, the Half-Elf who was digging his way under the ground appeared above the Magic Circle. An expression of utter shock appeared on his face.

Seeing that two powerful attacks were about to collide with his body, the Half-Elf decided to swap places with one of his two clones.

However, when he activated the skill, it didn't trigger, which made his eyes widen.

There was only one explanation for this, his clones had died, preventing him from swapping with their bodies!

Just as the attacks of the two Supremes were about to hit Lux, his shadow moved, and the Half-Elf found himself standing hundreds of meters away from where he was hovering earlier.

Draven, who was hiding in Lux's shadow, forcefully swapped places with his Master in order to allow him to survive.

His Loyal Servant wasn't even able to say his last words when the attack of the two Supremes obliterated his body, killing him instantly.

Lux, who felt his connection with the Shadow Sovereign get cut off, winced in pain as if a part of his flesh was torn off from his body.

But before the Half-Elf could recover from the unexpected turn of events, he saw the black arrow that was only inches away from his chest, giving him no time to dodge.

"Checkmate," the Oracle sneered as her arrow pierced through her target's chest, leaving a bloody hole behind.

However, a look of surprise appeared on her face when she saw that the one her arrow hit was not the Half-Elf, but the Halfling who swapped places with his Disciple at the last second.

With everything happening so fast, it took Lux a while to register what had just happened.

When he realized that his Master had swapped places with him, taking the arrow that was meant to end his life, everything around him came to a complete stop.

He was in a state of shock, and he could only look in disbelief at his Master's body, which had frozen mid-air as blood sprayed off his chest.

"N-No…"

Words seemed to fail him as time started to move again, but this time, it moved at a snail's pace.

Lux's body moved before he could even think, and at that exact moment, time finally returned to normal.

"Masteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer!" Lux roared as he turned into a lightning bolt, catching Gaap before his body hit the ground.

The Half-Elf didn't stop flying while holding onto his Master's body, which was slowly starting to turn black.

Right now, Lux's only goal was to get away from the Divine Empire as fast as he could in order to find a way to save his Master.

However before he could do that, he felt four powerful presences lock onto his body.

The four teenagers were now burning their remaining vitality as they caught up with the Half-Elf who was holding his Master in his hands.

"Die!" the pale-faced teenager, who had taken the initiative to attack Lux at the very beginning, punched forward.

A giant flaming fist materialized in front of him and flew towards the Half-Elf.

This attack contained all of his power, and a smile appeared on the pale-faced teenager's face before cracks started to form in his body.

"I'll take you with me to the afterlife."

Those were the last words that the pale-faced teenager said before his body exploded in a shower of sparks.

Lux, who was about to get hit by the Giant Burning Fist, stopped flying and roared in anger.

His Dragon Token hovered in front of him, but before he could activate it, a red beam of light collided with the burning fist, pushing it away from the Half-Elf.

"I'll take it from here," Dillon said as he stood on one of the Seven Heads of Teju Jagua, who had once obliterated the entirety of the Wolfpine Barony with a single attack.

"Go."

Lux glanced at the Black-Robed Necromancer before flying away in haste.

The three surviving Supremes wanted to catch up to him, but before they could do that, six red beams of light were fired in their direction, forcing them to dodge.

"It seems that the Divine Army really thinks that they can do anything they want just because no one is standing up to them," Dillon stated.

"Hmph! They're lucky that we're just too busy at the moment." A man wearing a red robe snorted. "Collecting the Stars of Calamity is not an easy task. If not for that, I would have slapped these bastards silly sooner."

The red-robed man was standing on the head of a Giant Boar with four tusks, and fangs that made it look like a tiger.

This monster was none other than the Lord of the Hills and Mountains, who went by the name Ao Ao.

Similar to Teju Jagua, it was one of the Beasts among the Seven Stars of Calamity.

Although they were called Calamity Beasts, they were in fact Demigods that had been sealed due to the threat of their power.

Memento Mori was trying to unseal all of them and, so far, only three of these Seven Beasts of Calamity had been freed from their shackles.

The Third Beast of Calamity was still recovering from the effects of its seal, so it wasn't sent to the Divine Empire to join the battle.

However, Teju Jagua and Ao Ao standing side by side were more than enough to block the three Supremes who wanted the Half-Elf dead.

Seeing that they were unable to pursue their target, the three teenagers took a fighting stance in order to unleash their strongest attacks.

Dillon and his comrade scoffed at this futile attempt. In their eyes, these three kids were nothing they'd be afraid of.

A few seconds later, a loud explosion shook the lands of the Divine Empire as the three teenagers and the Two Beasts of Calamity clashed.

When the dust settled, the land was destroyed beyond recognition, and yet, the two Beasts and their Masters were completely unharmed.

"Those who want to die, step forward," Dillon shouted. "Memento Mori will take you on!"

"Don't worry, even if you die, we will take good care of your bodies." The red-robed man sneered. "It seems that you all have forgotten why you are afraid to step out of your Divine Empire at night. I guess it's about time for a wake-up call. You fools are not as strong as you think you are."

The two members of the Memento Mori raised their hands, and the two Beasts of Destruction opened their mouths.

"Disappear!" Dillon stated.

As if waiting for that cue, eight red beams of light flew toward the Divine City. Seeing this, the members of the Divine Army quickly soared toward the sky in an attempt to evade them.

A second later, a blinding flash of light covered the entire land with its brilliance, forcing everyone to cover their faces.

It was followed by an earth-shaking eruption that made almost everyone turn deaf.

When the light receded, the entirety of the Divine City could no longer be seen, and the Main Headquarters of one of the strongest organizations in the continent ceased to exist.
