Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
chapter-746-2

Aina who had opened her eyes didn't show even the slightest reaction when Lux had summoned his Undead Army.

The scars on her body lit up, one by one, in a silvery light, showing just how much she had suffered in the past.

A moment later, white flames covered her chest, and lower area, hiding the things that mustn't be seen so casually in public.

Aside from those two places, everything was laid bare.

Her beauty that had caught the eyes of many Dwarves, both in Solais and Elysium, had become more exquisite after becoming a Ranker. However, this surreal beauty held a terrifying power behind it, a power that would devastate anything around her.

It was as if she was a newly born divine being, whose main purpose was to destroy those she laid her eyes on.

And right now…

Her eyes were locked on the Half-Elf, who had no intention of letting her break free from Keoza's domain.

Lux knew that if Aina were to return to the real world in her current state, she might crush with her own hands, everything she held sacred.

"Attack!" Lux ordered and his Army moved as one.

The Skeleton Gangbangers and the Steel Golem merged to become two Hecatoncheires.

Although Aina was flying in the sky, and away from their reach, they had allies that were capable of pulling the Angel of Vengeance down from the heavens.

"Duel [EX]!" Orion shouted as he pointed his finger at Aina.

Aina's body stiffened for a brief moment before she gazed down upon the lowly Jade Golem on the ground, who had dared to challenge her might.

Without even blinking, the Angel of Vengeance flapped her tendril-like wings and dove down from the sky.

Upon seeing this, the two Hecatoncheires immediately positioned themselves to intercept her.

Using their hundreds of arms, they tried to restrain the Angelic Beauty, who was still under the effects of her Heavenly Tribulation.

As one of the Hecatoncheires attempted to grab Aina mid-flight, the tendril-like wings behind her back moved like whips that were as sharp as swords.

The hands that had tried to grab her body were all sliced up, making the Hecatoncheires scream in pain.

(A/N: The tendrils of wings are not of the Divine Element but super compressed white flames.)

Orion, who was now about to face Aina head-on, held his ground and pulled back his arm.

Aina, who saw this, spread her arms wide, and summoned two silvery swords that seemed to be made of light.

To Orion's surprise, Aina's speed suddenly increased, making her re-appear only a meter away from him.

It was too late for the Jade Golem to do anything. Aina flew past Orion's body after slashing him in half.

Or at least, that was what should have happened.

Orion was completely unscathed by Aina's attack, which surprised the Jade Golem.

'I see… so that's how it was,' Lux's eyes widened in shock when he finally remembered that his Undead Army was no longer the same.

Yes, they were now immune to Light, Life, and Divine Magic, which was the weakness of Undead Monsters.

'But, her wings are still a problem.' Lux narrowed his gaze at the tendril-like wings that made Aina look so Holy.

The Half-Elf was nearly-immune to all flames, and he wondered if he would be able to survive the deadly tendrils which had cut the arms of his Hecatoncheires with ease.

Aina, who had also noticed that the Jade Golem didn't die after her attack circled back in order to kill it again.

It was as if she couldn't accept the fact that someone had survived her attack. She then made the silvery swords in her hands increase in size and radiance in order to make sure that her target wouldn't live a second time.

Orion, who had learned his lesson immediately unleashed a punch of his own, but Aina deftly evaded his attack and slashed upwards.

As if not satisfied with one strike, she immediately made a follow up attack, forming a cross on Orion's body before flying away.

However, just like her first attempt, the Jade Golem didn't die.

Aina then looked at the two swords in her hands as if wondering what had happened.

But, just as Lux was about to rejoice that she was coming back to herself, the Angel of Vengeance once again descended from the sky, and this time, her tendril-like wings moved to slash at Orion repeatedly.

This time around, she succeeded and the Jade Golem turned into particles of light after Aina changed her tactics.

"Morpheus, Petrification Rays!" Asmodeus commanded.

The Death Tyrant, who was Asmodeus' first Named Subordinate, unleashed a barrage of Petrification Rays in order to target the doll-like beauty, who had finally figured out how to defeat her foes.

After becoming a Ranker, Aina's two Unique Abilities had received an upgrade.

Her Divine Strength [EX], had become Divine Strength [SSR], which increased her Strength by 400%.

Her other skill, Angel of Vengeance [EX], had also been upgraded and was now Angel of Vengeance [SSR], which upgraded the boost in her Dexterity and Agility by 400%.

With these two upgrades, Aina, who currently had the power of a High-Ranker was a very dangerous enemy to fight.

"Archers, Open Fire!" Ishtar commanded and she, along with the Skeleton Arcane Archers, unleashed a volley of arrows towards their target, but Aina was simply too fast for them to hit.

Just as the Angel of Vengeance changed its trajectory to target Lux, King Leoric and his Wraith Knights intercepted her.

Currently, King Leoric was Lux's strongest subordinate.

The Wraith King was a Dreadnaught-Ranked World Boss. An existence that would require a party of High-Rankers to defeat without suffering any casualties.

With his entourage of Wraith Knights, who were all of the Deimos-Rank, they could defeat almost anyone that stood in their way.

Unfortunately, due to Aina's stat boosting skills which increased her Strength, Agility, and Dexterity by 400%, her current power matched that of a peak High-Ranker.

In short, the might she possessed was similar to a party of High-Rankers, who could stand against a Dreadnaught-Ranked World Boss with ease.

Aina summoned two fiery swords in her hands, which had the same element as her wings. Since her Divine Power wasn't working against her opponents, she would just simply cut them up, using the Flames of Vengeance that could cut through anything within her line of sight.
