Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

A frown appeared on Lux's face after hearing the Gnome's words. If Great General Gideon really had an artifact that could forcefully take away Zagan's control over the Blood Golem, then they would face a complete reversal of the momentum they had right now.

"Zagan, come," Lux ordered.

Immediately, the High-Ranking Demon descended from the sky and landed beside him.

"I heard what Great General Sherlock said, and all I can say is that the possibility exists, Master," Zagan stated. "The Blood Golem isn't that smart. At most, it can understand basic commands like 'kill the enemy' or 'defend your allies'.

Lux thought long and hard after hearing that even Zagan thought that there was a possibility of having the Blood Golem be controlled by others.

"Change of plans," Lux said after organizing his thoughts. "Unsummon the Blood Golem, now!"

Zagan nodded and immediately unsummoned the Blood Golem.

At the exact same moment, a blue beam of light shot out from the center of the Ammarian Army, and headed towards the Blood Golem, who had suddenly stopped moving.

Lux, Henrietta, and Great General Sherlock felt as if their hearts were being squeezed inside their chest.

They were just talking about the possibility of the Ammarian Great General taking over their strongest fighter on the battlefield, and Great General Gideon had done just that.

Making them feel as if Fate was playing games with them.

The Blood Golem, which had stopped moving earlier, turned its head to look at the Yelan Army before giving a deafening roar.

It then raised its leg to take a step forward towards Lux's direction, but it suddenly lost its balance, and fell on its back, crushing the Ammarian Soldiers that weren't able to escape in time.

A giant wave of blood pushed everyone away, as the Blood Golem's body disappeared without a trace.

Lux, Henrietta, and Great General Sherlock, placed their hands over their chests and sighed in relief after seeing this scene.

'That was too close!' Lux thought as he tried to regain his calm after seeing how Great General Gideon succeeded wrestling their control over their Blood Golem and making it one of his lackeys.

Zagan looked at this scene with a calm look on his face, but deep inside, he was feeling a bit annoyed. After all, someone had tried to manipulate his own Summon into fighting against his allies. Because of that, he was now holding a personal grudge against the Great General of the opposing army.

"Fortunately you were able to unsummon it in time." Great General Sherlock wiped the cold sweat that appeared on his forehead after almost seeing a complete reversal of the situation on the battlefield.

Lux, Henrietta, and Asmodeus shared his thoughts because this was indeed a close call.

Dealing with an Argonaut Ranked World Boss, especially a Blood Golem that could regenerate endlessly, as long as it was on the battlefield, was a nightmare.

Meanwhile on the Ammarian Army's Side….

"Dammit!" Great General Gideon cursed as his grip tightened over the golden chalice in his hand. "What happened?!"

He had patiently waited for the Blood Golem to reach the rank he wanted before activating their Kingdom's National Treasure, which had a very high chance of taking control of any kind of Monster that was Argonaut Ranked and below.

Great General Gideon planned to give Lux, as well as the Yelan Army, a lesson they wouldn't forget, so he waited and endured the loss of the lives of his men in order to reverse their current situation.

The Golden Chalice, which was also called Clemence, the Chalice of Reversal, could only be used a limited number of times.

Having failed his attempt to take control of the Blood Golem, the artifact had lost one of its precious charges, leaving only two behind.

This also meant that Clemence could only be used two more times to take control of any Argonaut-Ranked Creature before it was destroyed completely.

Before Great General Gideon could even vent out his frustration, the ground underneath their feet shook.

The soldiers at the center of the Ammarian Army's formation did their best to remain standing and keep their balance.

A few seconds later, the ground under their feet collapsed, creating a giant sinkhole, making the soldiers, who were standing on solid ground a minute ago, fall helplessly without even understanding what happened.

Great General Gideon was also caught up by the sudden turn of events, and his mount fell into the giant hole that suddenly appeared under their feet.

Due to the suddenness of the situation, the Great General's grip on the artifact loosened, making him drop their Kingdom's National Treasure.

'Oh, no!' Great General Gideon hurriedly stretched out his arm to grab the Golden Chalice that had fallen from his grip.

However, at that exact moment, something almost round and golden swallowed the Golden Chalice in front of him.

Before the Great General could even process what had just happened, the Golden Baby Slime, Fei Fei, used a skill called Solar Flare, emitting a flash of light, which momentarily blinded the Ammarian Great General.

"Fei Fei!" Eiko shouted before using her skill, Entangling Vines, to summon several vines that Fei Fei could use as a foothold, in order to run in her direction.

Truth be told, Fei Fei had moved subconsciously after sensing a Legendary Artifact that she could steal for her Master, Cai, nearby. When the Golden Baby Slime came to her senses, she had already eaten the Golden Chalice, and was looking straight at the Great General of the Ammarian Army.

Fei Fei immediately used Solar Flare in desperation because she knew that this was the only skill that would allow her to gain a few precious seconds to escape.

Eiko's voice reached her just in time, so she was able to use the vines as footholds to escape as fast as she could.

Knowing that her best friend was still not out of danger, Eiko ordered her two clones to come and help Fei Fei buy some time to reach safety.

The Baby Slime's two clones then appeared behind Fei Fei and mimicked the Golden Slime's skill, Solar Flare, emitting a blinding radiance that turned the surroundings white.

"Dig!" Eiko shouted as soon as Fei Fei reached her location, and together, the two Slimes burrowed on the ground and headed straight to where Lux was waiting for them, leaving the enemy Great General behind, who was now roaring in anger after their Kingdom's National Treasure was snatched before his very eyes.
