Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

"Vera, I acknowledge that you are indeed powerful," the old Priest said as he looked at the silver-haired beauty who commanded countless puppets of different sizes and shapes. "However, do you wish to make an enemy of the entire Divine Army of Light by protecting that Heretic?!"

"Once, I thought that the Divine Army was a righteous organization," Vera replied. "But that ended the moment you targeted my grandson. You have grown old and stupid, Renfred the Fire Tiger. It is time for you to retire… permanently."

It was impossible for Vera to not recognize the higher-ups of the Divine Army of Light, for she had also dealt with them in the past. Although they were not enemies, they were not friends either.

They manipulated the events from the shadows, using their influence and background to get their way.

Kings, Emperors, Patriarchs, and Sovereigns dare not go against them for fear that they would be prosecuted and hunted down.

However, Vera cared about none of these things. Although the Divine Army of Light was truly a force that extended its claws in both Elysium and Solais, with Solaians being part of their Council of Light, the silver-haired lady didn't care.

Even if she were to make the entire world her enemy, she would not back away if it was to protect her precious family from those who wish to harm them.

"So be it," Renfred stated as his entire body ignited with divine flames. "You will regret this decision!"

The Fire Tiger of the Champions of Light transformed into a thirty-meter-tall Flame Tiger with wings.

He burned so brightly that he resembled a miniature sun amidst the darkness that was cast by Vera's countless puppets.

"No," Vera replied crisply. "It is you and the Divine Army of Light who will regret your decision."

With a wave of her hand, countless puppets charged toward the Flame Tiger, who roared defiantly before charging toward Vera with the intention of mutual destruction.

Vera sneered as she empowered the puppets with the power of the Necromancer's Ancestral Lands, raising their attack and defense to unimaginable levels and imbuing them with Unholy Might.

A pained roar reverberated in the surroundings as the countless puppets punched the charging Flame Tiger, stopping his advance.

A second later, the Flame Tiger crashed against the ground, creating a crater that was hundreds of meters wide.

Seeing this, all the Champions of Light looked at the silver-haired lady, who was looking down on them all from the sky.

"Use it!" Renfred shouted as he propped himself up from the ground. "Regardless of the result, use it!"

The High King of Lunaria gritted his teeth and took out a diamond-shaped artifact that glowed with golden light from his storage ring.

The Flame Tiger had acknowledged that he was unable to defeat Vera using his full powers, so the only thing they could do was use one of their Divine Artifacts to kill their target.

This Divine Artifact was one of the priceless treasures of the Divine Army, and while it could only be used once, it was very effective as it would never miss its target.

Truth be told, they didn't want to use this, but after careful deliberation, the Sovereign of Light decided to go all-out to end the Heretic that threatened the order of the world.

"By the power of the Divine, I sentence you to death!" the High King of Lunaria shouted as he aimed the diamond at the Half-Elf, who was standing still in the palms of the giant Skeleton King. "End his misery, Spear of Longinus!"

The High King threw the diamond in Lux's direction, where it transformed into a golden spear that trailed toward the sky, leaving golden flames in its wake.

Vera immediately manipulated her puppets to block it, forming a barricade that was hundreds of meters thick.

However, the Spear of Longinus pierced through it as if it was a paper wall.

Vera summoned a silver blade and flew toward the golden spear in an attempt to deflect it.

But when she was about to strike it down, the spear moved to the side, dodging her completely before changing its trajectory to fly in the direction of its target, doubling its flight speed.

"No!" Vera shouted. "Dodge it, Lux!"

As if hearing a familiar voice, Lux stirred and opened his eyes. However, only golden light could be seen where his eyes should have been.

The Spear of Longinus, which was said to be able to kill even Supremes once it was unleashed, flew straight toward the Half-Elf's chest, with the intention of piercing through his heart.

In the span of a few seconds, in which time seemed to move in very slow motion, Vera saw the golden spear pierce her Grandson's chest, making her shout in anger.

Renfred, the High King of Lunaria, as well as the other Champions of Light, all cheered after seeing this scene, knowing that they had succeeded in their mission… or at least, they thought they did.

"Fools who know nothing of the world, you prance in this place and act so bold," Hereswith said in a mocking tone, which spread in the surroundings of the Ancestral Lands. "Look closely and beholden, see the error of the paths you have trodden!"

The golden spear that had collided with Lux's chest burned brightly as it tried to pierce through the Half-Elf's body.

However, no matter what it did, it couldn't even pierce Lux's skin!

"Impossible!" the High King of Lunaria exclaimed. "That is the Divine Spear of Longinus! It can kill even the Supremes!"

"Yes," Hereswith's voice once again reached everyone's ears. "But do you think the one chosen by the Heaven is afraid of Divine Powers? You must be joking, right? You little D*ck, you messed with the wrong Necromancer!"

The High-Elf Lady's words filled with contempt made the hearts of the Champions of Light tremble.

They still couldn't understand why the power of the Divine Light, which was the ultimate weakness of all evil things, especially Necromancers, couldn't even kill a teenage boy, who was not even fully conscious.

As the Golden Spear's radiance intensified, making it look like an unwilling fighter who refused to give up, the Half-Elf's right hand slowly rose and grabbed its handle.

"Undead Generator [EX]," Lux said softly.

A moment later, a giant skeleton cauldron appeared in front of him.

After the Skeleton Generator [EX] skill had been upgraded with Hereswith's help, it had become much stronger and became the skill, Undead Generator [EX].

————————-

< Please choose an ingredient to use to generate your Undead Creature. >

————————-

"Use this spear," Lux said in a trance-like voice as he casually tossed the spear inside the giant Skeleton Cauldron.

< You have used a consumable Divine Artifact as an ingredient. >

< Do you wish to proceed? >

< Yes / No >

"Yes," Lux answered.

To the horror of the Champions of Light, the giant Skeleton Cauldron released golden mists as it transmuted their prized Artifact in front of their very eyes.

Hereswith's maniacal laughter made the Ancestral Lands tremble as Lux used the skill that they had created together for the first time.

"I would like to thank all of you little C*nts," Hereswith said in a teasing tone. "Thank you for the gift you have given my Grand Disciple on this special day."

Golden lightning streaked across the heavens and hit the giant Skeleton Cauldron as the power of the Divine Artifact was being consumed.

This was the first time that Lux had used a Divine Item as an ingredient for creating a Creature, and even Hereswith, who had created the spell, didn't know what kind of being would emerge from it.
