Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate
chapter-980-8

"Die!" one of the Saints of the Divine Army slashed at the Half-Elf, whom they attacked as a group.

They knew that the situation wasn't favorable to them, so they threw away their pride and formed groups in order to deal with Lux and Gaap, preventing them from working together.

Fighting against Hundreds of Saints wasn't an easy task, even for the two Necromancers, who were surrounded by countless Undead Monsters.

The sword strike by the Saint was timed perfectly.

His comrades had worked hard in order to create this opening, while Lux was busy dealing with the countless attacks that were coming from every direction.

The Saint's Legendary Weapon split the Half-Elf's body into two parts, which made Valerie almost faint from shock.

The Saint was expecting a blood mist to spray in the air after his deadly strike, but none of that happened.

Instead, the Half-Elf he had split in half turned into particles of light, which made his eyes widen in shock.

His momentary surprise created an opening for Avernus' fiery breath that hit him in his blindspot, making him scream in pain.

The Saint managed to survive the Dragon's Breath due to his protective charms, but his luck ran out the moment Diablo appeared on his back, and pierced his body with the Death Sovereign's flaming sword.

"Hellfire Annihilation!"

Diablo's attack, which had now been raised drastically due to the number of deaths in the battlefield, was the straw that finally broke the camel's back.

The Saint spat a mouthful of blood before his body fell forward.

At that exact moment, a Black Coffin appeared in front of the dying Saint and swallowed him whole.

Blackfire didn't linger and disappeared once again.

There were so many High-Rankers and Saints who were dying in the battlefield, that the Black Coffin was having a field day absorbing them all.

Amidst the chaos, three Dwarf Assassins were busy reaping lives left and right, helping the Undead Army make small work of the Low-Rankers that made up the bulk of their army.

Sid and Scarlet were now both C-Rankers, making them very deadly on the battlefield. The two had honed their assassination skills to the limit, allowing them to maximize the chaos in their surroundings to sneak attack their opponents from their blind spots.

Sean, who was Sid's friend, and had been subjugated by Lux to become his spy within Twilight Rain, had been turned into a Half-Life Zombie.

This gave him the strength of an Undead, while still being alive at the same time.

Although he wasn't as powerful as Sid, who was now a Dhampir, and Scarlet, who had become a Cambrion, the D-Ranker Assassin was pulling his own weight on the battlefield.

Sean was using hit and run tactics, targeting the Low-Ranking Officers of the Divine Army.

Because of this, the Chain of Command was a mess, and everyone was just fighting freely, without a commanding officer's command to organize them.

Lux, who had swapped places with one of his clones to avoid a fatal blow, pressed his palms on the ground.

A moment later, three tombstones rose from the ground around him, summoning Ancient Ghouls to fight for him.

The ground shook under his feet, as his Plague Deathworm rose up on the surface, and used its body to smash the soldiers of the Divine Army, who were fighting against the Undead.

The beauty of being a Necromancer was that the longer the battle progressed, the more deadly they became.

Not only were they able to summon countless Undead, they were also capable of raising the dead bodies of the creatures that had fought against them.

Thousands of Zombified Soldiers hacked, bit, clawed, and crushed their former comrades without showing any mercy.

This unending cycle of death and revival made those who witnessed them feel their hearts turn cold due to how dreadful it was.

Right now, it was hard to tell who was winning.

Just one mistake and the Half-Elf and Halfling could die in the hands of their enemies due to the difference in Ranks.

Hana, who had also unsealed her true strength, stepped into the Calamity Rank, blocking the attacks that were aimed in Lux's direction.

The Fox's Lady's greatest strength was support, and although there was a spatial restriction that prevented her from teleporting herself, as well as her allies on the battlefield, it didn't stop her from distorting the space around her enemies, and crushed them with a vengeance.

At that moment, Lux heard the whistling of the wind.

The Half-Elf didn't hesitate to fly away from where he stood.

A second later, a purple arrow pierced the spot where he was standing earlier, which made his face turn grim.

The arrow that had embedded itself on the ground, made everything within a hundred-meter radius of it crumble into dust, including the Undead that were within its range.

The Half-Elf heard more whistling sounds coming in his direction, which forced him to take evasive actions.

However, he found out that even after doing his best to evade the barrage of arrows, each and everyone of them was mere seconds away from hitting his body.

He didn't need to check to know who was firing these arrows from the rear.

There was only one person that had the power to predict his every move, and that was none other than the Oracle of Light.

'This b*tch,' Lux cursed internally as he desperately tried to evade the Oracle's attacks, while shortening the distance between them.

Unfortunately, the wall of Saints, who were protecting the Oracle, was a big hurdle to overcome, especially when all of their High-Ranking Strikers were busy dealing with strong contenders as well.

At that moment, Lux felt his sixth sense scream at him, as if telling him to retreat as far as he could.

Trusting his instincts, the Half-Elf backed away, which made the Oracle breathe a sigh of relief.

Descending from the sky to protect her were the four teenagers who were with the Founder of the Divine Army, when he made his appearance.

Similar to Gaap, Lux could tell the four teenagers were only Apostles.

Even so, the threat he felt from them was higher than the Saints that he was currently dealing with.

The four teenagers were the "Lucky Ones" who had managed to survive the Apostle Project.

These four might only be of the Apostle Rank.

However, they could, at any given time, burn their lives in order to jump to the Supreme Rank, making them expendable powerhouses that could devastate the enemies of the Divine Army of Light.

Even if they could only attack once before they died, this was more than enough to make Lux wary of them.

The Oracle who had now found the opportunity to eliminate Gaap and Lux at the same time, gave an order to the four teenagers.

"All of you, kill that Half-Elf first!" the Oracle of Light ordered.

"Your Excellency, how about the Halfling?" one of the teenage boys asked. "Should we ignore him?"

The Oracle nodded. "That Halfling is only a step away from dying. It will not be long before he croaks, so ignore him and focus your attention on that brat!"

The four teenagers all glanced at Lux at the same time, making the Half-Elf's face turn extremely solemn.

Without even speaking a word, the four teenagers flew towards him, as they unlocked the seals that were placed on their bodies.

Immediately, the domineering power of Four Supremes spread in the surroundings, making the Saints and Supremes of the other factions look at them in disbelief.

"To think that they managed to succeed," the Dragon King muttered. "The Balance of Power in the land will start to shift once again."

The Elf King, as well as Lady Augustina nodded their heads in agreement.

An organization that had several Supremes under their wing was unheard of.

In the eyes of others, Karhsvar Draconis, The Crystal Palace, Agartha, and Espoir Frieden were the only places that had Supremes in them.

However, if one was to carefully ponder the geopolitical arrangement of the Lands, they would find that it was impossible for these factions to only have Supremes in them.

This meant that aside from the Rulers, who were quite powerful in their own right, they also had subordinates, who were just as powerful, and perhaps, even more powerful than them.

This was why the balance had been maintained for the past hundreds of years.

With the Divine Empire's success in their experiments, those who were secretly gloating about the destruction of the Divine City, found themselves feeling anxious.

There were many people and factions who didn't want the Divine Army to continuously expand their territory, as well as absorb various kingdoms under their guise of protection.

They were like leeches that were very hard to pry off of your body, especially after they managed to sink their teeth into your Domain.

These same factions were now looking at the four teenagers, who were exuding the power of Supremes.

Now that four more Supremes had appeared on the battlefield, the earlier advantages that Lux, Gaap, and Hereswith had were starting to disappear one by one.

While the Four Supremes were now about to clash against the Half-Elf, the Oracle of Light nocked an Arrow of Destruction on her bow.

Using her power to predict Lux would go next, she took aim with a sneer on her face.

Although she couldn't use her divination to predict how the Half-Elf would survive the four Supremes, who had locked unto him while forming an encirclement, she was certain of one thing.

As long as she timed it right, her arrow would find its mark.

And when that happened, she would get rid of the bastard Half-Elf, who had dared to defy her organization over and over again.

While nearly everyone was watching with bated breath for what was going to happen next, a middle-aged man disappeared from the congregation of Supremes in the distance.

No one saw him vanish, for they were paying extra attention to the Half-Elf, who was currently thinking of ways to escape his current situation.
