Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate-Novel

"M-Monster!" One of the adventurers, who was about to help his friend fight a Goblin, panicked after seeing the Lycan that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Although the Monster had attacked the Goblin, as ordinary people, their reaction was quite normal.

Even the adventurer that was saved also backed away in haste, pointing his weapon at the Lycan, who towered above him.

However, before things could spiral out of control, a confident voice broke everyone from their anxious state.

"Relax, she's on our side," Lux said as he walked past the adventurers. "Diablo, Ishtar, Pazuzu, come out."

As soon as the Half-Elf called for his Named Creatures, the three of them appeared in front of him.

"Push them back," Lux ordered as he summoned thirty Skeleton Fighters, who now had the strength of peak Rank 1 Monsters.

Although they were slightly weaker than the Goblins, their weapons and armor, which were forged within the Stronghold of Norria, made them slightly more powerful than the Goblins that were currently ambushing them since they were only wielding basic weapons.

As soon as Lux's minions joined the fray, the Goblins were pushed back, giving the adventurer party that was escorting them time to recover their bearings.

Colette and the others also joined the battle. In just a short time, they managed to force the monsters to retreat by causing several of the other side's comrades to die in battle.

Lux was observing the Lycan whose strength and speed outmatched the Goblins that were running away.

Before they left, he asked Emma if she was willing to take the Lycan's Perfect Genes into her body which would allow her to turn back into a Lycan. Contrary to what Lux expected, the pretty dwarf said "Yes'' in a heartbeat.

He thought that Emma would reject, or tell him that she needed time to reconsider before accepting his request, but that didn't happen at all.

Emma told Lux that she wanted to become stronger, and she believed that gaining the ability to transform into a Lycan at will would allow her to fight on even ground with stronger opponents.

She had been a vagabond fighter all her life, because she thought that there was nothing that she couldn't handle alone. However, after getting captured and experimented on by the researchers of Twilight Rain, Emma realized that her current strength was not enough to protect herself.

Aside from that, she also trusted Lux. She felt that the Half-Elf would never harm her, so she readily agreed to accepting his gift.

'Her rank had jumped from Grade B Apostle to Grade A Apostle,' Lux thought as he observed Emma from a distance. 'She was a brawler in the past and used gauntlets to battle. Since she likes to engage the enemy in close combat, then, perhaps, being able to transform into a Lycan is perfect for her.'

Fifteen minutes later, several Goblins lay on the ground, dead.

Eiko didn't participate in battle and was, instead, busy ordering Blackie, Whitey, Rocky, and Mara to dig the Beast Cores out of the Goblins' bodies.

Lux could only shake his head helplessly upon seeing how the baby Slime refused to miss any opportunity to eat the Beast Cores of Monsters in order to strengthen herself.

Her recent loss against Astra made Eiko strive harder to become stronger, just so she could beat him up in their next rematch.

After collecting the Beast Cores, Eiko didn't hesitate to eat them all one by one, allowing her progression rating to increase.

Unfortunately, the skills that she could acquire from the Goblins' beast core were skills that she had already learned in the past, like Slash, which had already evolved into Heavy Slash.

Even so, the baby Slime was still happy, because, for her, every Beast Core brought her one step closer to defeating Astra, whom she had labeled as her mortal enemy when it came to her Mama's affection.

"You did well, Emma," Lux said the moment the Lycan returned to his side.

'Thank you, Lux,' the Lycan said through telepathy before transforming back into the pretty dwarf whose height reached up to his chest.

Emma could transform while wearing armor and regular clothes. The fun part was that after returning to her original form, her clothes would remain undamaged, which also added an additional layer of defense to her stats, allowing her to maximize her equipment's potential.

Just like her clothes, the gauntlets that she wore as a weapon added to her physical damage in her Lycan Form. Her claws were as sharp and as hard as steel, making them ideal weapons in close combat.

"Wow! Amazing!" Colette said as she used her hands to pat Emma's body all over. "How are you able to transform? Is this the side-effect of that seru-mmpph!"

Lux had covered the adorable girl's mouth to prevent her from saying things that were confidential in nature.

Colette also realized that she had made a blunder, so looked at her Big Brother with apologetic eyes.

Seeing that she understood her mistake, Lux released the adorable Dwarf before returning to the carriage.

He had already unsummoned his minions, because he believed that they would no longer encounter mishaps along the way to Whitebridge City.

The adventurers, who were escorting them, also heaved sighs of relief. Although they had plenty of experience fighting against the Undead, fighting alongside them was a different matter.

Just as Lux expected, no Goblins or any other type of Monster tried to ambush them again.

As the sun was about to set on the horizon, Lux saw a magnificent city in the distance. A white bridge extended across a river, to allow people to gain access to the city.

This was the reason the city was called Whitebridge City. It was currently one of the main trading cities of the Gweliven Kingdom due to its access to river transportation, allowing fast shipment of goods to and from important trade partners.

'Whitebridge City,' Lux thought. 'So the other members of the Order of the Griffin are waiting for me there. I hope they're nice.'

According to the Dwarven King's orders, Lux had been secretly appointed as the newest member of the Order of the Griffin.

The King and Nevreal shared the same opinion— Lux was an abnormality that had appeared inside their kingdom for reasons that only the Gods knew. Since this was the case, they believed that Fate had sent him to become their friend and not their enemy.

Because of this, the King granted Lux an honor that only those that had accomplished Legendary Feats in the Gweliven Kingdom could acquire, and that was none other than the Token of the Griffin, which symbolized that he was one of the members of the Secret Organization that worked directly under the King.

Lux hoped that his colleagues wouldn't treat him like a child because of his age. After all, he was now part of their Secret Order, by hook or by crook.
