Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Inside the cave, a gentle refreshing breeze circulated around Lux and Cai as he used the skill, Healing Wind.

He had already poured all of his healing potions over her body, and right now, he was doing his best to stabilize Cai, whose heartbeat had become extremely faint.

Eiko, her Water Slime, and her Angel Slime were the ones that helped with removing the blood on Cai's body using gentle methods, as well as applying their own healing abilities to help the Half-Elf save the young lady, whose life hung by a thin thread.

After her body was cleaned up, Lux used a blanket to cover her as he focused his undivided attention on healing her.

Hours passed as Lux continued to use healing magic over and over again.

He had ordered all of his subordinates to prevent anyone from entering the hidden cave. Right now, no one knew about Cai's true form, and he intended to let it stay that way.

However, he ordered Ishtar to inform Xander about the current situation because he knew that the young man was loyal to Cai and served as one of her retainers.

Xander hurriedly came to where Cai was, but was stopped at the entrance of the cave. Only when Lux gave his permission was the young man let inside the cave to look at the situation of their Tribe's High Priestess.

He didn't interrupt Lux and the Slimes who were using Healing Magic to stabilize Cai's condition and sat a meter away from her, looking at her pale face that was as white as a candle.

Xander didn't have any healing abilities, so he did what he could do and stayed seated, waiting for the High Priestess of their clan to overcome her current situation.

Unlike the other representatives, Xander didn't have the artifact that allowed people to see what he could see. This was to ensure that their tribe's secrets would remain a secret and not be divulged to the outside world.

Finally, just a little past midnight, a sigh escaped Lux lips.

"She will live," Lux said with exhaustion.

After hearing these words, Xander also breathed a sigh of relief before giving Lux a respectful bow.

He then left the cave to stand guard and prevent anyone from trespassing.

Now that their High Priestess' safety was confirmed, he would now do everything in his power to protect her identity from their comrades, who were still unaware of the current situation.

Lux closed his eyes for a brief moment in order to recover a bit of his strength. When he opened them again, he looked at Cai's face, which had now regained a little bit of color.

Although she still looked pale, it was way better than her complexion a few hours ago.

"Iris, you have a good friend," Lux said softly.

Whenever he and his fiance were together, they would often talk to each other about random things. One of the main topics of their discussion was Cai.

Lux knew about Cai's true form, and Iris had confirmed this as well during one of their pillow talks.

This was why he wasn't too surprised when Cai returned to her original form.

"Thank you, Cai," Lux commented as he gave the sleeping young lady a bow of gratitude. "I will make sure to compensate you properly after this mission ends."

The Half-Elf then lightly patted Fei Fei, who was resting on top of Cai's chest. The Golden Slime had just finished crying a few hours ago and had fallen asleep due to exhaustion.

After making sure that Fei Fei was fine, he stood up and called for Ishtar to enter the cave.

"I will go and rest," Lux said. "Look after her and Fei Fei while I sleep. Wake me up when she regains consciousness."

"Yes, Master," Ishtar replied.

Lux went outside the cave to look at his subordinates, who had also stayed vigil while he was healing Cai.

Pazuzu, Orion, Lazarus, Sid, and Bedivere.

Scarlet couldn't stay any longer because her absence would complicate things, so she returned to the Kingdom of Gweliven once the battle was over.

Lux patted Xander's shoulder before using his boots of Teleportation to return to his tent, where he left a single Skeleton Mage as an anchor point.

When he arrived, the sound of merrymaking could be heard all around the camp.

He didn't know what happened after he had ordered Sid to kill General Revon. The Half-Elf had dedicated all of his attention to keeping Cai alive, in order to prevent her from getting kicked out of the dungeon.

Although the young lady wouldn't really die, her identity would be exposed, which might cause the Rowan Tribe to suffer some hardships.

He didn't know why Cai hid her true form under the guise of a thick-headed and shameless Boar, but something was telling him that her identity must not be exposed no matter what.

This was why he didn't bat an eye and used every resource at his disposal to keep her alive.

As Lux got out of his tent, he saw the merry soldiers drinking, eating, and some were even dancing near the bonfire, which proved how happy they were that they had won the fight against the Ammarian Army.

After asking a few soldiers, the Half-Elf found out that General Carran launched an all-out assault and killed countless Ammarian Soldiers as they fled in droves after seeing General Revon's body tied up on a pole for everyone to see.

Now that their General, and one of their most formidable Rankers, was dead, the Ammarian Soldiers had lost the will to fight, and no matter what the other commanders ordered, none of them listened, allowing the brunt of the Yelan Army to break through their defensive lines.

Blood dyed the land as General Carran and his elite soldiers cut through the enemy's ranks like a hot knife through butter. He knew that an opportunity like this wouldn't present itself again, so he used his powers to drain the iron from the blood of the slain Soldiers, and transformed it into countless Blood Spears that rained upon the Ammarian Army without any mercy.

General Carran wouldn't allow the survivors to regroup and make an exodus towards the Great Plains, further increasing the bulk of the main army of the Ammarian Kingdom.

However, no matter how hard he tried, it was impossible for General Carran to kill everyone.

Thousands of soldiers managed to escape, and he and his men were already too exhausted to chase them for miles.

In the end, General Carran returned to the main camp and declared that they were victorious, which was happily met with cheers by the Yelan Soldiers who had fought long and hard all throughout the campaign.

However, just as General Carran was sharing drinks with his soldiers and toasting them for their hard work, a messenger arrived at the camp, and hurriedly passed him a news that made the smile on his face disappear completely.

Their army protecting the Mountainous Region from the Ammarian Army was defeated, and General Hubert, who was stationed to protect their Western Flank, had been killed in battle.

The survivors of the battle fled the Mountains and went to the Great Plains where Great General Watson and Great General Sherlock received the news of their comrade's passing.

Both Generals were devastated at the loss of one of their Generals, as well as more than half of the army that had been guarding the Mountains.

Now that one of their defensive lines had been breached, it was only a matter of time before the Yelan Main Camp was attacked from two sides, making it difficult for them to feel happy about the two victories that they gained from the Eastern Front, where they had just defeated the enemy Generals whom they were contending with.
