Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
chapter-1206-2

Cethus had wondered what the end of the world looked like in the past.

He thought that the end of the world would start with an earthquake that would shake the entire world, destroying all the Kingdoms and Empires that were on land.

Since Karshvar Draconis was a floating kingdom, he thought that he would be able to see the Lowlanders suffer as the land split apart, engulfing everything and anything on it.

He also thought that volcanoes would explode, covering the entire world with ash, and blocking off the light of the sun.

He even envisioned fountains of magma erupting from deep within the earth, and coming out from the fissures on the ground, extending up to dozens of meters in the sky.

A hellish scene that was never before seen in the world would appear right before his eyes, and he would marvel at them before the sky turned dark, and countless lightning bolts would descend above his head, destroying all of creation along with it.

That was Cethus' version of the end of the world.

But, now, he knew better.

Giants of all shapes and sizes rampaged across the Void Battlefield, killing everything in their parth.

Countless Dragons, Wyverns, Griffons, and other flying creatures, fell from the sky en masse, as their blood rained down on the people below them.

It was complete pandemonium, and he was right smack in the center of it.

"Don't go too deep, Colette!" Matty shouted as he controlled his Gyrocopter near the person he liked, who was riding her own Gyrocopter, accompanied by Helen and the two Baby Slimes that were perched on top of their heads.

"I know!" Colette replied as she pulled the trigger which unleashed several Blast Missiles at the flying Abyssal Monsters in front of her. Matty originally didn't plan on fighting on the front lines, but when Colette decided to fight alongside her older sister, Aina, he gritted his teeth and hopped into one of the Gyrocopters that was readily available on the floating island of Edea.

Since the person he liked was going to fight, he would not allow her to fight alone.

Aina, who was currently in her Battle Angel form, didn't stray too far from her little sister, ready to come to her rescue at a moment's notice.

Cethus and Gerhart were there as well, assisting the Gyrocopter Legion of Heaven's Gate, which were mostly operated by Dwarves and Kobolds, who decided to fight as well.

The Dwarves were composed of the Riders of Norria, who had all joined Heaven's Gate in this battle for survival.

While the heavy-weights of their Army were dealing with the heavy-weights of the opposing Army, the low-ranking combatants tore at each other's throats with an intensity that wouldn't lose to the powerhouses of both sides.

The Dragon Born raised his spear, and used his Gravity Domain, to make all the Baby Slimes, as well as the Elders of Leaf Town, fly out of the War Machines before they exploded after getting hit by the Breath Attack of an Empyrean-Ranked Abyssal Dragon.

Grandma Annie and Randolph were among the Dwarves that Cethus had saved from the explosion.

"Can't you weak Low Landers just stay put?!" Cethus roared in anger as he went to another location to save some Dwarves, whose Gyrocopters were falling from the sky. "You Baby Slimes should just go suck the milk in the nursery and stay out of this battle!"

The Dragon Born was truly enraged because although he acted arrogant all the time, the people that were dying around him were members of his Guild, whom he had also interacted with in the past. However, no matter how hard he tried, Cethus wasn't able to save everyone, making his eyes turn bloodshot.

"All of you just stay in the flying Fortress and behave!" Cethus said as he flew towards the Floating Island to dump the Baby Slimes, Dwarves and Kobolds that he had saved. "Please, just stay and don't come out! We can handle everything ourselves!"

"Eyah!"

"Eyah!"

Countless Baby Slimes nodded, making the Dragon Born sigh in relief. Although these little punks were annoying, he had grown fond of them because they would often offer him some berries whenever they found him lazing around in the Guild Headquarters..

"Hurry and go!" Cethus ordered. "This place is dangerous!"

After depositing the Baby Slimes, the Dwarves, and Kobolds on the surface of the Floating Island, the Dragon Born was about to leave when a Calamity-Ranked Abyssal Demon hovered in the skies above them.

"Die!" The Abyssal Demon unleashed countless purple fireballs that were the size of a bus towards Cethus, who was just about to return to the battlefield.

Cethus' first thought was to dodge the attack. But, after remembering that the Baby Slimes, Dwarves, and Kobods were right behind him, and would be instantly annihilated by the Purple Fireballs if he were to dodge, the Dragon Born knew that he had to make a hard choice.

"Damn you!" Cethus roared in anger as he gathered all the strength he could muster to activate his Gravity Domain a second time. He then wrapped those he wanted to protect in black domes of light before sending them towards the Guild Headquarters in the distance.

A moment later, a loud explosion erupted as the Purple Fireballs descended upon the Floating Island, which could have destroyed a fifth of it.

But, these attacks didn't hit the floating island. Instead, a lone Dragon Born tanked it all, using all the life saving items that Lady Faustina and Lady Augustina had given him.

"Damn… it," Cethus muttered as his body collapsed on the ground.

Half of his body was destroyed from the explosion, and he could already feel his life fading away.

'Lux,,, if we don't win this one… I'll haunt you in the afterlife,' Cethus thought as he thought of the Half-Elf, who was currently fighting against Daniel at the very rear of the Abyssal Formation.

Tears streamed down the side of his face, as the light in his eyes disappeared.

Even so, his eyes remained open, hoping to see a future in the afterlife, where no one, not even the Baby Slimes who were all part of their Guild, needed to fight ever again.
