Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
chapter-628

Lux subconsciously gulped as he gazed at the Twin Flames that were purple and red in color.

The flames were over three meters tall. Although they were standing two hundred meters away from them, they could still feel the raw power that the Twin Flames possessed.

"You have come, Flamma," the Purple Transcendent Flame stated. "Has the war come to an end?"

Lux couldn't determine if the flame sounded like a man or a woman. It sounded somewhere in between, making him suddenly question whether the Transcendent Flames had genders as well.

"For now, Your Eminence," Flamma bowed respectfully. "We have pushed the invading army back to their lands, and we believe that they will not try to invade us again for a few years."

"Good," the Red Flame replied. "You have honored your promise to us, and as such, we will also honor our promise to the Blackrock Clan"

The Red Transcendent Flame paused before transforming into a beautiful woman bathed in red flames.

The Purple Transcendent Flame also transformed, but this time, it changed into a man, who was bathed in purple flames.

Lux subtly summoned his Soul Book and tried to appraise the two Transcendent Flames who had taken a human form. He didn't know if it would work, but he deemed that there was no harm in trying.

< Primeval Twin Transcendent Flames >

Rank: SSR+++

—----------

Aside from this bit of information, Lux was unable to gain more from appraising the Twin Transcendent Flames in front of him.

According to the Elysium Compendium, all Transcendent Flames were ranked depending on how powerful they were.

There are normal Transcendent Flames, Ancient Transcendent Flames, Primeval Transcendent Flames, and Progenitor Flames

Ancient Transcendent Flames were Transcendent Flames that hadn't been touched for hundreds of years, which allowed them to accumulate power and become stronger.

Primeval Transcendent Flames were flames that were as powerful as Ancient Transcendent Flames, but not as old as them. These flames were born in a very violent way, allowing them to accumulate powers that made them even more powerful than Ancient Transcendent Flames that had been left alone for hundreds of years.

Progenitor Transcendent Flames were the Transcendent Flames that were born at the same time the world was created.

These Transcendent Flames had taken on new forms and were not restricted to their fiery nature. Legends say that these flames lived alongside the denizens of Elysium, laughing at the follies of all the races since time immemorial.

The ones who were in front of Lux now were Primeval Transcendent Twin Flames, which made him feel a bit anxious about their attempt to tame them.

"The Orc Chieftain has already told us your reason for coming," the woman clad in red flames stated. "Because of this, the five of you were asked to come here. I will tell you now, all of you should stop your delusion of being able to tame us. Your current strengths are not enough to make us submit to you."

"Be that as it may, we are grateful for your help in protecting the Blackrock Clan," the man clad in purple flames commented. "Because of this, we have decided to give the five of you a chance."

The man and woman exchanged a glance with each other before nodding their heads at the same time.

"The Dwarves who specialize in Smithing and Alchemy, I bestow upon you a fraction of my power," the woman said. "Tame these flames, and make them a part of your strength."

The woman waved her hand, and four red fireballs flew toward the four Dwarves, giving them no time to react.

These fireballs merged with their bodies, making their bodies feel hot.

A moment later, Laura and Livia clutched their chests in pain before collapsing to the ground. Their Baby Slimes, Nora, and Cora called out to them anxiously, but the two little Dwarves could only writhe on the ground as if they were being burned from the inside out.

Randolph groaned as he tried his best to endure the scorching flames that seemed to burn every fiber of his being. His skin had already turned as red as a tomato, and his blood vessels started to bulge under his skin.

On the contrary, Grandma Annie was faring a bit better.

Her body would shudder from time to time while using her walking cane as a support to prevent her body from collapsing completely.

Beads of sweat formed on her forehead as she did her best to endure the purification that was happening in her body. Although she was worried about her Disciples, Laura and Livia, she was unable to help them because the only one that she could help right now was herself.

Flamma watched this scene with his arms crossed over his chest. His duty was to bring Lux and the others to have an audience with the Transcendent Flames, not to help them pass the trial.

The red-headed teenager observed the four dwarves and wondered if he was allowed to help them, especially Laura and Livia, who looked so pitiful right now.

The two little girls were crying as they writhed on the ground. Lux couldn't bear to see them in so much pain, so he started to walk in their direction, only to be barred by purple flames that formed a wall in front of him.

"This is their trial, and you are not allowed to interfere," the man clad in purple flames stated. "Worry not, I have something for you and that Baby Slime on your head as well."

The man waved his hand, and two fireballs flew in Lux's and Eiko's direction.

One of them was a purple fireball, the other was a black fireball.

The purple one hit Eiko, while the Black one hit Lux.

As soon as the two fireballs merged with their bodies, the Half-Elf and the Baby Slime immediately felt a very intense burning sensation inside their chests.

However, the burning sensation only lasted for a few seconds before everything went back to normal.

"Pa?"

"Don't worry, Eiko. I'm fine. How about you?"

"Pa!"

"That's good."

A few seconds later, several rows of text appeared in front of Lux, informing him of the changes that happened inside his body.

—--------

< You have acquired the Pseudo-Transcendent Primeval Black Flames >

– This Black Flame is unable to hurt or burn Creatures with physical bodies, with the exception of Abyssal Creatures.

– This Flame is very deadly to Corporeal Creatures such as Spirits, Spectres, Ghosts, and Abyssal Creatures.

—--------

< The Red Dragon Blood and your Unique Physique, Immortal Dragon Conqueror's Legacy, are reacting to the Pseudo-Transcendent Primeval Dark Flames! >

< Congratulations! You are now given the option to choose which flames to use when you unleash your Dragon Breath! >

—--------

< Dragon Breath [EX] >

– Red Dragon Flames (Default)

– Pseudo-Transcendent Primeval Dark Flames

—--------

Eiko, who was perched on top of the Half-Elf's head, spat a small purple fireball toward the ground.

Out of curiosity, Lux opened his Soul Book in order to check the use of the Purple Flames that his Baby Slime had acquired.

—--------

< Eiko has acquired the Pseudo-Transcendent Purple Primeval Flame >

– This Purple Flame is unable to burn anyone. However, it can directly burn the mana of the target, causing them to not only lose their mana but completely stop their Mana Regeneration.

– The target will receive damage equivalent to the amount of Mana that was burned by the Purple Flames.

– The target's mana regeneration will only return after ten minutes of being exposed to the purple flames. Constant exposure to the flames will reset the cooldown timer to zero, making it so the target will be unable to regenerate their Mana.

– While under the effect of the Purple Flames, any consumables or abilities that would regenerate or replenish the Mana of the target affected by the Purple Flames will not have any effect.

– Eiko now has the option to use the Purple Flames as her Breath Attack when she mimics Lux Von Kaizer's Dragon Breath [EX].

—--------

"Hiss… I pity those that will be on the receiving end of Eiko's breath attack." Lux sucked in a deep breath after reading the information about Eiko's newest ability.

The Half-Elf had to admit that he and his Baby Slime had gained a new power that would definitely help them in the future.

However, that didn't change the fact that he was still worried about the condition of the Dwarves that were on the other side of the Purple Wall of Fire that was in front of him, hiding them from his view.

Lux's Unique Body Physique made him immune to Fire. However, he still didn't want to risk testing it out on the Primeval Transcendent Flames, whose powers he couldn't even calculate through his Elysium Compendium.

Suddenly, the purple wall of fire that was blocking his view vanished, allowing him to see the four Dwarves, who were all lying on the ground, unconscious.

Only Nora and Cora, who were lightly tapping Laura's and Livia's faces, were awake. But something caught Lux's eyes which made him pause for a bit.

The Dwarf who he assumed to be his Master Randolph, looked like someone in his early forties instead of someone in his late seventies.

The same could be said for Grandma Annie, who had also regained her youth and, to a certain extent, her beauty, making Lux wonder if this was the effect of the Transcendent Flames that had entered their bodies.

After regaining his composure, Lux immediately checked the conditions of his companions and was relieved to find out that all of them were still alive.

"The two little girls barely passed," the woman clad in red flames declared. "But since they passed, they are now able to wield a fraction of my power."

The woman then glanced at the two older dwarves who seemed to have gained a lot from absorbing the flames that she had bestowed upon them.

"The older Dwarves have used the element of fire all their lives," the woman said. "Because of this, they had an easier time absorbing the power of the flames. However, their bodies are already old and frail. Because of this, the flames decided to have them undergo a kind of rebirth, giving them bodies that will be able to withstand their newfound powers."

"Let them rest for a day or two. After that, they will be back to normal," the man clad in purple flames commented. "With this, all debts have been paid in full. You may go, and make sure to keep what you witnessed here today a secret.

"If others were to know that we can bestow a fraction of our power to those whom we deem worthy, many more would covet our powers, which would then lead to greater conflicts."

Lux bowed his head gratefully to the two Primeval Transcendent Flames that had allowed him and his companions to gain the power of Pseudo-Transcendent Flames.

Although they weren't able to tame the Transcendent Flames themselves, he was very satisfied with this outcome.

He was even looking forward to how his Master, Randolph, and Grandma Annie would react after seeing the major changes that had been made to their bodies and appearance.

Although his Master had become younger and regained a bit of his handsome features, the Half-Elf could say with confidence that he was still more handsome than his Master, who had been given a second chance at life.
