Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

When Cai, Keane, Gerhart, and Cethus appeared at the entrance of the Gate of the Fallen, everyone's gaze landed on them.

"Awwww! Don't look at me like that," Cai said with a bashful look on her face after being stared at by so many people. "You are making me blush! Sorry, but I'm already taken. Go find other Boars to love."

All the teenagers looked at the shameless boar with contempt.

They wanted to tell Cai that she should stop being delusional because none of them would want to court her, even if she were to become a Human.

If only the teenage boys knew how beautiful she was in her human form, all of them would be fighting against each other in order to gain her good graces.

"Where is he?" Piccoro asked Cethus, who had a smug look on his face after conquering the Gate of Famine.

"Who?" Cethus asked back with a frown.

"Don't play dumb with me, you numbskull!" Piccoro flicked Cethus forehead, making the latter cry out in pain. "I'm talking about the Half-Elf!"

"Gerhart, my uncle wants to talk to you," Cethus said as he massaged his forehead.

"Not him, you idiot!" Piccoro was so close to slapping the annoying Dragon Born for trying to play the fool in front of him. "I'm talking about Lux!"

Cethus gave his uncle a look filled with injustice before giving his reply.

"He said he wanted to talk to Great General Sherlock and Great General Watson for a while," Cethus replied. "I don't know what he wanted to do, but that is none of my business."

"None of your business? Aren't you supposed to be watching over him because you are his supervisor?"

"Now that you mention it, you're right, Uncle. Well, it doesn't matter. There is only one exit out of this Domain, and this is it. He will not be able to go anywhere unless he wants to stay inside the Domain of the Fallen forever."

Piccoro snorted, but he knew that Cethus was right. There was only one exit from the Domain and sooner or later, the Half-Elf would have to leave it, unless he wanted to stay inside the domain forever.

Of course, they were not aware that Lux had plenty of other alternatives which allowed him to bypass this rule.

Since they couldn't do anything but wait, the members of the Crystal Palace no longer pestered Lux's friends and allowed them to leave the cavern.

"Father, Sir Maximilian, did you find anything interesting in that ruin?" Lux asked the two Saints who had finished their exploration of the ruins inside the Domain of the Fallen.

"We did find something interesting, but we can't do anything about it right now," Maximilian replied. "A special key is needed in order to open the gate inside the ruins, and even using our full power is not enough to create an opening. Because of this, we decided to leave since there's nothing else to do inside the Domain."

"How unfortunate," Lux commented. "By the way, the final Gate of the Apocalypse will open in a month's time, and C-Rankers and below are now allowed to enter it."

"Really?" Maximilian chuckled. "That's a good thing then. When they arrive here, they will not find anything of importance, unless they want to bring grass and tree leaves back to their Kingdoms."

The two Saints had returned to Barbatos Academy and were leisurely having an afternoon snack together. They still hadn't sorted out the spoils that they had taken inside the Domain of the Fallen because there were a few things that they needed to do first.

It would look suspicious if they didn't meet with the representatives that they had sent to the Domain of the Fallen, so they decided to put the sorting aside, and wait for the triumphant report of the conquers that finally cleared the Gate of Famine.

"I'll be lying low until the Gate of the Apocalypse opens," Lux stated. "It might even be possible that I won't enter it, and head to other places instead. There are a few places that I've been meaning to visit, but haven't had the opportunity to do so yet, because of the Domain of the Fallen."

"That's a good idea," Alexander commented. "You've been stirring a lot of waves ever since you returned from Elysium. Disappearing from the public eye will benefit you in the long run."

"I agree," Maximilian nodded. "By the way, where are you planning to go? I've heard from Cai that you are very close to the Dwarves in a place called Leaf Village. She added that you even have a statue there. Is that true?"

"Yes, Sir Maximilan," Lux replied. "Leaf Village is the Beginner's Village where I first appeared in Elysium. It holds a special place in my heart."

Due to the fact that he couldn't appear in the Human lands because he failed to pass the trial in Wildgarde Stronghold, Lux was sent to Leaf Village by Eriol in order to help him embark on the journey that had been delayed for a very long time.

"Be careful," Alexander commented. "You don't have to go to the Gate of the Apocalypse unless you absolutely have to. I can send people in your stead. We have a few Rankers who have been itching to check out that Domain for a long time now. This will be a good opportunity to let them have some fun."

Lux felt relieved because for him, the Gate of the Apocalypse wasn't his priority. After meeting with Colette and the others, he would then accompany his Master to the Ancestral Lands of the Necromancer in order to become a Ranker.

After that, he planned to visit the Kingdom of Agartha, which was located near the core of Elysium.

Although he didn't want to admit it, the young lady whom he met once in that very dark place lingered in his mind.

A part of him felt that what he saw was only a dream, but the other half insisted that everything that happened was real.

Because of this, Lux wanted to go to Agartha in order to help that person and, if possible, bring her to a place with light, allowing her to leave that dark place that served as her prison.

With these swirling feelings inside his heart, the Half-Elf entered the Teleportation Gate inside his Guild Headquarters that allowed him to instantly appear in Leaf Village, where the Village Head, Cedwyn, was waiting to give him some good news.
