Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate-Novel

After Lux's arrival, the defenders suddenly found a second wind, which allowed them to gain more strength to repel the invaders.

Due to the powerful buffs that had been granted when the Half-Elf completed the Hidden Quest in the Stronghold of Norria, all the defenders gained a 20% increase to their attack and defense.

Coupled with Lux's stacking buffs, they were able to deal with the rampaging monsters that were destroying the houses that were bereft of their owners.

"Push them back!" Boreas ordered. "Riders, rally to me!"

Boreas led the charge against the Red-Eyed Terror Mantis, who was pushed back by the Riders of Norria's powerful charge.

Over twenty Riders smashed their hammers against the three-meter tall Mantis at about the same time, making it shriek out of pain and fury.

'The only tough problem left is the Thunder Wolf King,' Boreas thought as he glanced at the Peak Rank 5 Alpha Monster that was being distracted by Lux's Undead Army.

Every few seconds, one of Lux's and Eiko's Skeleton Summons would shatter after getting hit by the Giant Wolf's ferocious swipes.

The Baby Slime would immediately resummon the Skeletons that belonged to her every time they get destroyed in order to buy her Papa some time to fix his stats.

Several panels appeared in front of Lux, as he multitasked to allocate all of his stats and skill points.

A few minutes passed before the panels in front of Lux disappeared. He then closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths before opening his eyes again. He then looked at the carnage in front of him before shifting his attention to the Thunder Wolf King, whose strength even surpassed the Draconic Kobold, Cadmus.

The Half-Elf used the Elysium Compendium to appraise the greatest threat among the Monsters attacking Leaf Village.

Lux fearlessly gazed at the Monster as he prepared himself for battle.

"Eiko, it's time to fight seriously," Lux said as he raised his hand to summon more Skeletons to fight for his side.

"Pa!" Eiko replied, as she, too, summoned the new and improved Skeletons she gained thanks to Lux's upgrade.

Twenty five Skeletal Fighters and twenty Skeleton Grand Archers rose to fight the enemy in front of him. Both of their summoning skills now had a Rating of A, which made them more powerful.

However, Lux wasn't finished yet.

"Doppelganger," Lux said as two, near-perfect, clones appeared on his side.

"Pa!" Eiko also used her Doppelganger skill, creating two baby Slimes that jumped onto the heads of the clones that her Papa created.

"""Arise!"""

After a few seconds, the two new baby Slimes shouted in unison as they summoned their own Skeleton Fighters. Lux's two clones did the same and a hundred and eighty skeletons appeared around them.

But he was not done yet. Lux then raised his sword as he shouted his Battle Cry to increase everyone's attack damage.

As if waiting for that cue, Diablo also raised Oathbreaker towards the sky and activated his Warlord's Warcry, boosting everyone's attack further.

Now, Lux's Undead Army, as well as his allies, now had a +300 increase in their physical and magical attack damage.

But thanks to Diablo's passive ability, Warlord's Presence, which granted a 10% increase to physical and magical attack to the Warlord and his allies, their attacks were once again raised to the next level.

"Kill!" Lux ordered as his forces charged at the Thunder Wolf King with vengeance.

Lightning snaked around the Giant Wolf as the horns on its head glowed brightly. It was preparing to unleash its skill, Chain Lightning, which could decimate the majority of Lux's forces in one blow.

Fortunately, before the Alpha Monster could unleash its attack, Pazuzu used his Duel [EX] to force the monster to cancel its attack and exchange a blow with him.

Rains of arrows pelted the Giant Wolf's body as Pazuzu used his Shield Bash to smash the Alpha Monster's head, causing it to howl in pain.

When the Giant Wolf regained its balance, it leapt towards one of the houses and attempted to use its AOE skill once again. But before it could unleash its deadly strike, Diablo used his Duel [EX] to force the latter to lunge at him in frustration.

"My God, he is actually able to hold his ground against that thing!" Boreas exclaimed after smashing the head of the Red-Eyed Terror Mantis, sending it crashing towards a house.

The Thunder Wolf King then angrily roared towards the sky, creating storm clouds that covered the entire village. Lightning flashed in the heavens and thunder roared in fury. It had had enough of the pesky insects that were getting on its nerves, so it decided to get serious.

"Did we rub you the wrong way?" Lux sneered at the arrogant Alpha Monster's beastly face, who treated all of them like insects.

The Giant Wolf roared in anger as lightning bolts hit its body, infusing it with some sort of lightning armor that crackled across its body.

Lux was unfazed as he raised his hand to give his Undead Summons an offensive buff.

"Barbed Bones!"

The Skeletons grew barbed spikes on their bodies made up of bones. These bones dealt additional 10 Piercing True Damage to anyone that attacked them.

Although 10 points of damage seemed like an insignificant number, it would still stack up every time Diablo, Ishtar, the Skeleton Fighters and the Skeleton Grand Archers were attacked.

Currently, there were over a hundred and eighty Skeletons present on the battlefield. If the Thunder Wolf King attacked all of them, a significant amount of damage would be dealt before all of them died.

Aron, the Guard Captain of Leaf VIllage, arrived at the scene and assessed the situation. Seeing that Lux was fighting against the Thunder Wolf King, he ordered his men to attack the beasts that were getting in the way of the Half-Elf's assault against the Field Boss Monster.

"Deal with those small fries first!" Aron ordered. "We will reinforce Lux after we clear them all up! Get them!"

"Charge!"

"Kill these bastards!"

"I'll turn them into barbecued meat later!"

The Dwarf Defenders rushed towards the Berserked Horned Rabbits, as well as the Carbunble that was assisting the Mutated Thunder Wolf King in battle. They had just defeated the Ghoul Beast and demolished its Undead Army, reducing the pressure on the Eastern Side of Leaf Village.

On the other hand, Boreas, the Rider Captain, was still busy dealing with the Red-Eyed Terror Mantis in addition to the Insect Outbreak that had come from the North.

Although Lux was currently dealing with the Thunder Wolf King and the Dire Wolves that came from the Heartwood Forest, they still didn't have enough manpower to deal with everything.

As if sensing his worries, he heard Lux's confident voice as he dealt with the Thunder Wolf King as well as the Dire Wolves that had come to help their leader.

"Don't worry, Captain Boreas," Lux answered. "I'll keep the Thunder Wolf company until you're done with the cleanup."

Boreas nodded and turned back to face the Red-Eyed Terror Mantis that had activated its Berserk Skill.

"Don't die before we exterminate these bugs, Lux," Boreas said as he charged at the Berserked Mantis whose strength had drastically increased.

Lux no longer had time to reply to the Rider Captain as he slashed at a Dire Wolf that had lunged at him.

Jed, his Black Warg, stood by his side and defended him from sneak attacks. The Black Warg was a Rank 3 Monster, so it was more than enough to deal with the Rank 2 Dire Wolves that were currently targeting its Master.

Suddenly, Lux's sixth sense kicked up so he hastily turned around, just in time to see the Thunder Wolf King shoot a lightning bolt in his direction.

A loud explosion rang out as the Giant Wolf's attack connected. It caused an eruption of dust clouds in Lux's location, blocking everyone's view.

Boreas' and Aron's voices rang out as they called for the Half-Elf who just got hit by the Monster's powerful attack.

The Mutated Thunder Wolf King was a very smart monster. It knew that if it killed the Summoner, all of the annoying Skeletons would disappear. Once they were gone, nothing would stand in its way of completely obliterating the village that it had set its eyes on.

"That was a close call. For a brief moment I thought I was a goner."

A teasing voice came from within the dust cloud, which made Aron and Boreas, who thought that Lux had been turned into charcoal, feel relieved.

A few moments later, the dust cloud dispersed and the Half-Elf reappeared. Only this time, he was covered in a blue-colored full body armor that gleamed faintly in the sunlight.
