Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



Lux currently had a solemn expression on his face as he looked at the Demigod-Ranked Magic Scroll in his hand.

Before Vera returned the Guardianship of the Necromancer's Ancestral Land to Dracul, she made sure to visit its Treasury first and took two precious items from it.

These were the compensation she took from Dracul for killing her grandson, and the Vampire King could only smile bitterly, knowing that there was nothing he could do about it.

He was already joyous that Vera didn't abuse her authority and only took two items from the Treasury of the Necromancer's Vault.

If Vera wanted to, she could have taken more, and no one would even stop her.

But she knew that Saints were tied up with the world's karma.

Even if no one could stop her from robbing the Ancestral Lands, the consequences of doing such a thing were something that she didn't want to carry on her shoulders. So she settled for two treasures, and one of them was the Demigod-Ranked Magic Scroll in Lux's hands.

This Scroll had the ability to raise the rank of any artifact, weapon, equipment, or any other miscellaneous items to the Demigod Rank.

The second one was also a priceless treasure—the Beast Core of a Calamity Ranked World Boss.

If these items were to be auctioned, they would definitely fetch unimaginable prices. When Eiko saw the five-meter-tall Beast Core, she was almost tempted to swallow it whole and eat it.

Fortunately, her love for her Papa was bigger than her greed, so she managed to fight off the temptation. Instead of swallowing the Beast Core whole, she only licked it like it was a giant piece of candy.

But to the Papa and baby pair, the most surprising thing was that Eiko actually learned a skill after licking the Calamity-Ranked Beast Core, making Lux doubt whether the information that appeared in front of him was real.

However, that wasn't the issue that the Half-Elf was dealing with at the moment. He was currently debating which of the items he had would be good to upgrade to the Demigod Rank.

'Upgrading the Favonious Legacy to the Demigod Rank is good, but according to Master Randolph, he would be able to do that once he's made a breakthrough in his Blacksmithing…,' Lux thought.

The Favonius Legacy Armor Set that belonged to the Founder of Leaf Village was a Demigod-Ranked Armor, to begin with.

This was something that Lux had known ever since he got it, and back then, he wished that it could be restored to its original rank.

As for weapons, Lux didn't need any of them upgraded to the Demigod Rank because he had something better, and that was his newest subordinate, Calypso.

The golden Living Armor could transform into the Spear of Longinus, allowing Lux to wield a Divine Weapon in his hands.

Since Divine Weapons were a rank higher than a Demigod, he didn't need to use the Magic Scroll on it.

While Lux was checking the other items in his inventory, a telepathic message from Sid arrived.

"Master, I have successfully eliminated the sixth Honorary Elder of Twilight Rain," Sid reported. "However, I had a very hard time with the assassination because Twilight Rain has increased their security to guard their important agents.

"Every time I manage to kill someone, the Dark Guild dispatches more Rankers to protect the others. I'm afraid that it might take me weeks to assassinate my next target due to how tight their security measures are."

"You have done well, Sid," Lux replied. "For the time being, you can return to the Savage Lands and accompany Cadmus with the exploration. You have spent a lot of time completing your mission, and I don't want to delay your growth any further.

"I'm sure that Twilight Rain will no longer bother Aina and Colette for the time being because of you. They likely won't cause any waves for a month or two while things settle down."

Sid voiced his agreement and obeyed Lux's orders. Now that his assassination mission had ended, he would return to Leaf Village and spend a few days with his little sisters.

After that, he would go to the Savage Lands in order to raise his rank.

Sid was now a Ranker, but he knew that it was only the starting point of his goal to become Lux's Hidden Blade, the one who would deal with those who antagonized his Master from the shadows.

He felt fortunate that Lux had revived him because he still had a lot of unfinished business in his life. I think you should take a look at

Sid also wanted to see the smiles on his sister's faces, and for that to happen, he had to make a peaceful world, so that Laura and Livia could live their life in happiness.

After ending his talk with Sid, Lux smiled and felt extremely fortunate for his decision to revive the Assassin that had tried to kill him in the past.

Sid had always been there whenever he needed him, and knowing that such a dependable ally was always around, gave Lux more leeway to focus on other things.

'If only I had more people like Sid…,' Lux mused.

Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock after realizing that he had overlooked something very important.

"Why didn't I think of this sooner?" Lux muttered before scratching his head.

Out of all the items in his possession, there was one artifact that had unlimited potential.

"Come out, Blackfire," Lux ordered.

Immediately, a black coffin hovered in front of him, which made the Half-Elf smile evilly.

At the moment, Blackfire's ability was very limited. As a Mythical Ranked Artifact, it could only store four creatures inside of it.

Three of which had already been taken.

Sid, Scarlet, and Vera.

Having used three of the four slots, Lux could only use it one more time.

Unfortunately, he had used up the last slot a few hours ago when Vera handed him the corpse of the Saint, Renfred, who went by the nickname, Fire Tiger.

Lux thought that if he allowed Blackfire to nourish the corpse of the Saint, he would gain another strong subordinate once the corpse had undergone its second rebirth.

Just like Vera, Lux didn't know how long it would take for Renfred's Corpse to be reanimated.

Of course, if he wanted to, he could use his skill Animate Undead to revive him right now, but doing so would be a waste.

Since Lux was currently a D-Ranker, using Animate Undead on a Human that was stronger than him would only give him another D-Ranker.

The difference between a Saint and a Low Ranker was like Heaven and Earth.

Lux would rather wait and have a Peak-Ranked Fighter than rush things and get something that was only as strong as him.

"Time for you to get an upgrade, Old Friend," Lux said softly as he caressed the surface of the black coffin, which was emanating a purple light.

Perhaps, knowing that it would become stronger than ever, the Blackfire playfully nudged Lux's body, hurrying him up to give it an upgrade.

The red-headed teenager chuckled before pressing the Magic Scroll against the impatient Black Coffin.

As soon as he did that, the Magic Scroll glowed brightly before merging with the Blackfire.

It didn't take long before a series of notifications appeared in front of Lux, making the Half-Elf smile from ear to ear.

He had expected that Blackfire would receive a massive upgrade, but he never thought that the results would exceed his expectations.
