Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
chapter-1136-2

After knowing that her Kingdom was about to be attacked by the Abyssal Army, Aurora didn't hesitate to ask Lux to help her defend her homeland.

Of course, the Half-Elf didn't reject her request and immediately teleported back with her to the Ancient Kingdom, which many historians coined as the First Kingdom of Elysium.

As a Supreme, King Septimius, the King of Agartha, remembered Lux and welcomed him with open arms.

He had already accepted that this young man was his daughter's chosen one, making Lux his son-in-law.

Unfortunately, Aurora's sister, Princess Shayna, had forgotten about him, making her wonder why her sister and her father were treating the Half-Elf as if he was already part of their family.

After the greeting session ended, Lux immediately told the King of Agartha that the Abyssal Army was preparing to invade their lands.

King Septimius didn't doubt Lux's words for a moment because the Half-Elf wouldn't possibly lie to him about something like this.

Also, even if he doubted his words, he would still create a contingency plan to ensure that the Abyssal Lords would have a hard time reaching his kingdom.

"Sound the Bell of Soteria!" King Septimius ordered. "Let it be heard all across Agartha!"

A few minutes later, the loud tolling of the bell resounded in the surroundings.

The Bell of Soteria had only been rung three times since the founding of Agartha.

The third time that it was used was during the first Abyssal War, when the Surface World descended into complete chaos.

During that time, the Agarthians took up arms and helped their fellow Elysians defend their world.

Even now, they had already prepared their army to support the Grand Alliance should they choose to execute an all-out attack in an attempt to wipe out the Abyssal Army from the face of the world.

Unfortunately, the Dragons, the High-Elves, as well as the other Factions of the Worlds, were busy doing their best to prevent the Abyssal Army from conquering their own Domains.

As such, the Agarthians hadn't sent any of their armies to the surface, for that would mean that they would be fighting the battle alone.

Doing so would only annihilate their army. Even if they were strong, their strength was not at a level where they could face that many Abyssal Demigods on their own.

Hidden deep within the underground chambers of the castle, the lids of several sarcophagi moved to the side.

One by one, old men and women who had wrinkles all over their faces and bodies rose from their long slumber and sighed.

"I guess these old bones will have to fight one last time," an old man cackled. "Hah… what a good day to die."

"To think that I would see you again after all this time. I wish you had stayed dead," an old lady, whose wrinkles would not lose to the old man, snorted. "Our souls have long departed this world, but our Wills were left behind for this very day."

"Indeed," Another old man commented as he slowly placed his feet on the cold floor. "We are relics of the past, already long forgotten by most of our people. And yet, during its time of need, we all rise from our decrepit coffins to fight one last time."

The other men and women, who had risen from their respective coffins, nodded their heads at the same time.

Some of them weren't old. In fact, the majority of them looked like middle-aged men and women.

But, regardless of what they looked like, one thing was certain.

All of them were very powerful.

The majority of them were Saints, but there were also dozens of Supremes among their Ranks.

They were the previous Kings and Queens of Agartha, who had witnessed the world since the founding of their Kingdom.

Each King and Queen was duty-bound to leave a remnant of their Will inside their bodies so that even after their death, they would all rise up to fight one last battle.

A battle that would decide whether their Ancient Kingdom would remain standing or be buried with them in the sands of time.

Lux, who was very sensitive to the power of the Dead, shuddered before his gaze shifted to the floor under his feet.

"Do you feel them, Lux?" King Septimius asked with a knowing smile on his face. "Of course, you do. After all, you are the Necromancer of Heaven. It is impossible for you to miss them."

"Who are they, Your Majesty?" Lux inquired.

"They are Elysium's Firstborns," King Septimius replied. "You see, there was a prophecy given to the First King of Elysium that there would come a day when the Kingdom of Agartha would face complete annihilation.

"In order to prevent this from happening, all of the Kings and Queens who ruled Agartha were duty-bound to bind their Will inside their bodies while they were still alive. So, at the moment of their death, their bodies would only enter a Half-Dead state.

"Their bodies would then be preserved inside specially-made coffins, which were imbued with a special kind of magic.

"When the Kingdom faces a threat that it can't handle on its own, only then will these ancient Kings and Queens rise from their eternal slumber to fight for our kingdom one last time."

Lux nodded in understanding. "Good. The more help we can get, the better. I will also make preparations to defend this Kingdom from the Abyssal Lords."

The Half-Elf then shifted his attention to Aurora and gave her a reassuring smile.

"Stay with your sister, and hide in the underground shelters," Lux said. "I will handle the rest."

Aurora nodded. "Stay safe."

"I will," Lux replied.

A moment later, the Half-Elf left the throne room.

"Master, only I and King Leoric have reached the quota that my brothers and sisters have agreed upon," Asmodeus said as he appeared beside his Master, walking by his side. "However, if you truly wish for it, they will return to answer your call."

"Thank you, Asmodeus," Lux replied. "For now, You, King Leoric, Avernus, Andras (Strigoi), and Blackfire will assist me in defending the Kingdom of Agartha. I will also ask for Eiko's help. The five of us should be enough to handle several Demigods."

Asmodeus nodded his head in agreement. With the five of them, they should be strong enough to handle several Demigods at the same time.

He and the others weren't there when Lux had fought against Daniel.

This was Asmodeus' greatest shame.

Because of this, he had assembled a strong Undead Army that would wreak havoc on his foes.

He had prepared a long time for this day, and he would show his Master that the one year the Lich King had spent traveling all over Elysium wasn't done in vain.
