Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate



Lux only returned to Hereswith's Domain after twenty minutes. This time, he found the High-Elf seated in the clearing of a forest, drinking some herbal tea.

There were no potato chips nor laptops around, and only the beautiful scenery of the forest greeted him.

It was as if everything he saw earlier had been an illusion, and the Half-Elf was more than happy to pretend that he didn't see anything.

"Grandmaster, I have returned," Lux greeted the High-Elf in a polite and respectful manner.

"Welcome back, Lux," Hereswith replied with a smile. "Have a seat. I prepared some tea. Feel free to drink some."

"Thank you, Grandmaster." Lux nodded and sat across Hereswith, allowing the beautiful High-Elf that could cause the downfall of a nation to pour him some tea.

The Half-Elf sipped the tea and found it warm and soothing. He paused for a bit to enjoy the aftertaste before drinking more, repeating this cycle until his cup was empty.

Lux then placed the cup back on the table and looked at his Grandmaster with a serious expression on his face.

"Grandmaster, I have come to ask you if you want to be revived and undergo a rebirth," Lux said. "While I can't guarantee that you will regain the body of a High-Elf, I can at least assure you that I will do my best to make it happen."

Hereswith looked at the Half-Elf with a calm expression on her face.

Truth be told, Lux thought that his Grandmaster would be surprised by the news, but just by looking at her reaction, it seemed that Hereswith didn't find this news surprising at all.

"I see, so you've found a way to help me revive," Hereswith replied before putting her cup down on top of the table. "But what is the condition for this kind of revival? Half of my soul is damaged, so I can only stay here inside the World Tree until it has fully recovered.

"Once I leave, my soul will instantly dissipate. I know you have Blackfire, but I thought it could only store corpses. Did it gain the ability to store souls as well?"

Lux nodded. "Yes, Grandmaster. I don't know if you are aware, but my Grandma Vera has temporarily become the Guardian of the Ancestral Lands. Before passing the Guardianship back to the Vampire King, Dracul, she took two treasures from the Ancestral Vault.

"One of them is a Magic Scroll that can raise the rank of any item to the Divine Rank. I used it to upgrade Blackfire, which gave it the ability to store souls and even help them recover."

"That's a very convenient ability," Hereswith commented. "But the question still remains. What price do I have to pay to be revived? I don't want to toot my own horn, but my Soul is very special. Although I didn't become a Heaven's Necromancer, I was still very close to being one and gaining the World's recognition."

The beautiful High-Elf then moved closer to the Half-Elf and raised his chin using her finger.

"Be honest and tell me, my Grand Disciple, what do you want from your Grandmaster?" Hereswith asked with a smile on her face. "What price must I pay for this rebirth?"

"Nothing," Lux blinked. "I'm not going to ask for any price."

"Not even XXX?"

"Definitely not XXX!"

Hereswith giggled before releasing the Half-Elf's chin.

"Sorry. I just wanted to tease you," Hereswith stated before sitting back in her chair. "If you said I would have to repay you with my body, I would have rejected your offer in a heartbeat. The reason why I died is because I rejected a lot of people after they professed their undying love to me.

"I know that they only did it due to my exceptional looks. I mean, if I was a guy, I would have definitely proposed to myself due to how beautiful I am." I think you should take a look at

"Wow, Narcissist much," Lux commented. "As expected of Grandmaster. I like!"

Lux gave the beautiful High-Elf a thumbs up, making the latter giggle.

"… Still, I can't help but feel that the gears of my Fate have finally started to turn once again," Hereswith said softly. "It seems that he hasn't lied to me after all…"

Although Lux had exceptional hearing, he didn't manage to understand the last part of Hereswith's words.

He just thought that his Grandmaster was cursing him again under her breath, which made him smile bitterly.

After a few minutes of silence, Hereswith raised her head to the sky and asked Lux a question.

"Does my Disciple, Gaap, know about this?" Hereswith asked.

"No," Lux replied. "I was planning to surprise him."

"And surprise him, you will," Hereswith said softly. "You know, Lux, there is one thing that you should know about Necromancers."

The Half-Elf quieted down and perked his ears. He wanted to hear Hereswith's words properly because he believed that this was something very important.

"Although it is not a taboo, Necromancers don't like being revived by other Necromancers," Hereswith said solemnly. "No matter how much you sugarcoat it, in the end, we will become that person's subordinates. This was why I asked you if you planned to take advantage of me after my revival.

"If you were a different breed of Necromancer, I would not even consider becoming one of your subordinates. Although I am already dead, I still have my dignity and purity.

"I have no intention of surrendering myself to a scumbag. Fortunately, you are my Grand Disciple, as well as the one and only Heaven's Necromancer in this world. If I can't even put my trust in you, then there is no one that I can trust."

The beautiful High-Elf, who made countless Kings, Emperors, and Power Houses profess their love for her, pressed her right hand over her voluptuous chest and closed her eyes.

"Although this is shameless of me, I don't want to lose my freedom," Hereswith stated. "So, please, after I get revived, I want to be free. Will that be fine with you, Lux?"

Lux didn't hesitate and nodded his head.

"From the very start, I didn't have any intention of making you my subordinate, Grandmaster," Lux stated. "All I want is for you and my Master, Gaap, to walk together again under the same sky. Perhaps, on that day, his guilt of having abandoned you will finally fade away, allowing him to enjoy the last remaining years of his life."

Hereswith smiled and nodded her head. As someone who had reached the rank of a Saint, she could tell if a person was lying or not.

The beautiful High-Elf then extended her soft and delicate hands towards Lux for a handshake.

Seeing her gesture, the Half-Elf held her hand firmly and shook it twice.

Now that he had gained his Grandmaster's approval, the only thing that was left to do was to summon Blackfire.

Lux understood that, unlike Sid and Scarlet, he would be unable to revive Hereswith right away. Her soul still needed to undergo recovery, just like his Grandma Vera did inside Blackfire.

By doing so, he believed that the beautiful High-Elf would not only have a full recovery but would also gain a powerful body, one that would once again walk the world of Elysium and create a Legendary Feat that she alone was capable of making.
