Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
chapter-1004

Lux, Valerie, Aur, Ali, and Ari spent their last day in Espoir Frieden in each other's company.

They didn't leave the residence and spent every minute they had left together.

Ali and Ari, who felt left out whenever Lux removed his ring to make love to Valerie and Aur, complained that they should be treated the same way.

"It's unfair. Why do you wear that ring when you do it with us?" Ali asked. "What is this discrimination?"

"That's right," Ari supported her sister's words. "Aren't we also your lovers? Why don't you knock us up as well? I promise to give birth to a beautiful daughter for you."

The two handmaidens, who were currently sitting on each of Lux's legs, looked at him with dissatisfaction.

"Ali, Ari, the two of you are Valerie's handmaidens," Lux replied. "Who will take care of Valerie if ever she really gets pregnant? Also, if either of you gets pregnant, there's a chance that you will be forced to leave her side.

"You should focus on taking care of Valerie for the time being. I promise that I will also give you what you want when the time is right."

Ali and Ari glanced at each other before reluctantly nodding their heads.

They knew that Lux had a point, and it would be bad if both of them were to get pregnant at the same time as Valerie. If that happened, things might get complicated, so for the time being, they decided to accept Lux's explanation.

"Fine. We'll let you off the hook this time," Ali said before kissing Lux's left cheek. "But after Valerie gives birth, you better keep your word."

"Okay," Lux nodded as he kissed her back. "I promise."

Ari kissed Lux's right cheek without saying a word, and the Half-Elf kissed her back.

A few minutes later, the three of them did a threesome before resting for the night.

The next morning…

"Come visit us often, okay?" Hereswith's mother, Eurydice, said as she hugged her daughter tightly. "I'll always be waiting for your return."

The High King of Espoir Frieden, Kazimir, hugged his wife and daughter without saying a word.

He had bid his farewell to Hereswith an hour ago, and he already told her everything he wanted to say.

Their other guests had already left their Kingdom, and the only delegations that remained were those from Karshvar Draconis and the Crystal Palace.

After a few more minutes, Hereswith reluctantly pulled back and smiled at her parents.

"I'll visit from time to time," Hereswith said. "Both of you, take care of yourself, okay?"

"We will," Eurydice replied.

After bidding one last goodbye, Hereswith accompanied Lux and readied to return to the Crystal Palace.

The two groups used the Teleportation Gate of the Elven Royal Family and appeared in their respective Kingdoms.

Lady Faustina and Piccoro had already set their coordinates to their capital cities, drastically decreasing the travel time on their trip back home.

Valerie, Ali, and Ari looked at the Half-Elf with a meaningful gaze as they waited for their turn to enter the portal.

Lux nodded, meaning to tell his three lovers that they could come and visit him whenever they found the opportunity to do so.

He had already expected that he wouldn't be seeing them any time soon due to the aftermath of what happened to the Divine Empire.

A few minutes later, the delegation of Karshvar Draconis disappeared as they teleported to their capital city.

"It's our turn now," Piccoro said as he walked forward.

Lux and Aur followed behind him, while Hereswith followed behind her Grand Disciple.

The other Saints, who served as Aur's Protectors, also entered the range of the Teleportation Gate and waited for their turn to depart.

With a bright flash of light, they all left the Elven Empire and returned to the place where they belonged.

Heaven's Gate Guild Headquarters…

The moment Lux arrived in his Guild Headquarters, he summoned Emma and General Garret to the conference room to hear their report.

The two were the ones who managed the affairs of their Guild while he was away, and he wanted to know if they encountered any difficulties during the month that he was gone.

After hearing about Gaap's death, Emma and Garret were worried about Lux's state of mind, but the Half-Elf assured them that he was doing better than expected.

Half an hour later, their discussion ended, and Lux left his Guild Headquarters to go to the highest peak on the floating island.

His Master would often visit this place to meditate and ponder the things that he wanted to do in life.

Lux could not think of any better place to bury his Master's ashes, so he decided to choose this location for Gaap's tomb.

After burying the jar in the ground, he and his Grandmaster, Hereswith, created a majestic tomb to honor the Halfling.

"Here lies Gaap, the greatest Master and Disciple in Elysium."

Lux looked at the plaque that Hereswith made and smiled.

The two of them then poured bottles of wine on the tomb as an offering to the Halfling, who liked to drink alcoholic beverages in his spare time.

After they were done with their offerings, the two sat cross-legged in front of it as they made their vigil.

Hana appeared beside Lux and joined them as well.

There were many traditions followed to mourn the dead in Elysium, and the method that they chose was the simplest of them all.

They would stay on the peak for seven days and would only eat when the sun had set.

This was their way of paying their respects to the dead, which both of them found ironic.

The two of them were Necromancers, and not just any kind of Necromancers.

They were both Necromancers of Heaven.

Yet even with all their powers, they were unable to revive the person that was dear to the two of them.

Antero was no longer in Elysium and had returned to the Abyss.

There was no longer an anchor that bound him to the world, so this outcome was already set in stone.

Lux and Hereswith asked Hana how the Halfling had lived his life when he was wandering the lands of Elysium on his own.

The Fox Lady happily told them about the things that Gaap had done, as well as how she first encountered him.

After sharing all the Halfling's happy stories, she then moved to the sad ones.

Hereswith teared up after hearing that her Disciple had spent countless nights preparing for his final showdown with the Divine Army of Light.

Hana also thanked Lux because, if not for him, his Master might have lived the last of his days with only the goal of revenge in his mind.

She added that when Gaap was with the Half-Elf, he laughed more, smiled more, and enjoyed life more.

All the memories that they shared together were precious, and Hana knew that, even though her Master was no longer with them, the memory of him would always remain inside their hearts.

A week later, the three people stood up and bowed to Gaap's tomb one last time.

Their mourning had ended, and it was time for them to move on and continue their own lives.

"Lux, I will be leaving for a bit," Hereswith said. "I will go to the Headquarters of Memento Mori. There are a few things that I want to ask them."

The Half-Elf nodded his head in understanding.

"Understood, Grandmaster," Lux replied. "For the time being, I will visit a few places before I start looking for the clues that will lead me to the Pillars of Eternity."

Hereswith smiled and patted the Half-Elf's shoulder.

"Be safe, okay?" Hereswith said. "Also, don't find trouble with the Divine Army of Light. Now is not the time to fight them again. But rest assured. I'll make sure to kill that b*tch Oracle no matter what."

Lux smirked because that was also his plan. Although he wouldn't actively look for the members of the Divine Army of Light, if there came an opportunity to avenge his Master, he would gladly take the chance to do it.

Just like Hereswith, he wouldn't be able to forget his hatred for the Oracle, who was responsible for the death of his Master and Grandmaster.

'Even if the Gods forgive her, I will never forgive her,' Lux vowed in his heart. 'I will not stop until she is safely stored inside Blackfire.'

The Half-Elf gave his Master's tomb one last glance before flying away.

He needed to return and stay in Solais for a week or two in order to catch up with his two fiances.

He also planned to confess to Iris and Cai that he had gained five lovers, while he was away.

(A/N: Five including Aina).

Although he didn't know how the two of them would react, he didn't have any intention of hiding the truth from them.

While these things were happening, the Factions in Elysium started to stir.

Although a great battle had just ended, the preparation for the next one was already underway.
