Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 403 How About You Take A Nice Long Swim Instead? [Part 1]



“Let me go, you bastard!” Harrus roared before he was dragged down into the water by the Jade Golem, who had grabbed hold of his foot.

With one powerful kick, he managed to break free from the Golem’s hold and send it crashing towards the seabed.

As a B-Ranker, he didn’t even recognize a Rank 4 Jade Golem as a threat. For the Dwarf, it was just a mob character that could easily be crushed with his hands.

With one kick, he easily broke the arm that grabbed his foot and sent it speeding towards the bottom of the sea. However, just as he was about to swim back up, a powerful pulling force pulled him to the bottom, which made Harrus’ rage burn to its limit.

Back on the ship, Scarlet peeked down into the hole that was in front of her and waited for a few seconds. After sensing that Harrus wouldn’t be back anytime soon, she jumped across the hole onto the other side where Eiko’s Doppelganger was waiting for her.

“If you want to escape, listen closely to what I am going to tell you and listen well,” Scarlet whispered to the Princess as she ran towards the Doppelganger. “You will be devoured by the slime, but don’t resist. My Master is waiting on the other side.”

“Who is your Master?” Princess Anastasia inquired as she looked at the scarlet-haired girl with a critical gaze.

“You’ll meet him soon enough,” Scarlet replied as she tossed the Princess towards the blue slime who had already opened its mouth to swallow the Princess whole. “Make sure to tell him that he shouldn’t order me to do anything unreasonable in the future.”

Although Princess Anastasia was scared, she didn’t resist or struggle when the slime devoured her whole.

Eiko could store living creatures, but there was a condition. They must not resist her, because if they did, she would be unable to swallow them whole.

Cai, Keane, and Clyde, were all unconscious when all of them were swallowed, so it wasn’t a problem back then.

However, the Princess was conscious, so Lux thought that Princess Anastasia would struggle if she felt threatened by the Slime. Because of this, he ordered Scarlet to tell the Princess that she had nothing to worry about and that she should simply allow herself to be devoured, so that she could be rescued without a hitch.

After devouring the Princess, Eiko’s Doppelganger didn’t teleport right away. Instead, it once again opened its mouth and unleashed a Dragon’s Breath, pushing Scarlet back and sending her crashing towards the wooden floor.

‘He could have at least chosen the least painful method,’ Scarlet complained in her heart before hitting a wall, and coming to a complete stop with bruises and wounds on her entire body.

She didn’t bother to block the attack and allowed herself to be injured, so that she wouldn’t be suspected of betraying her guild.

Scarlet still needed them to provide her with resources so that she could become a Ranker. Until then, she didn’t plan on leaving Twilight Rain to accompany Lux as he traveled around Elysium. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛ ꜰʀᴏᴍ Novl ꜰir.nt

After seeing that it had accomplished its mission, the Doppelganger glowed briefly before disappearing from its place.

When it reappeared, it was now in front of the chubby teenager, who was in the process of unleashing a Dragon’s Breath towards the enemy ship, sinking it for good.

“Dragon’s Breath!”

Lux roared and the powerful breath attack flew towards the flying ship, hitting its side and making it explode.

“Now, Captain!” Lux shouted.

“All hands, grab onto something!” Jack Spawow ordered as he maneuvered Black Pearl for a speedy retreat.

The Doppelganger was already at its limit, so it jumped towards Lux and released the Princess before it turned into particles of light.

The chubby teenager caught the Princess safely in his arms, making the latter raise her head to take a good look at him.

One moment, she found herself surrounded by darkness, the next second, she found herself wrapped in the arms of the Human, whom she had only met a few days ago.

“S-Sir Lucien,” Princess Anastasia stuttered. “Than:”

“Let’s talk later, Princess,” Lux stopped the Princess from thanking him because they were not out of danger yet.

The plan was for the Doppelganger to release the Princess when they had retreated a safe distance in order to prevent the enemy Rankers from seeing her.

However, since the Doppelganger had also received damage due to the indiscriminate attack on the ship, it had reached its limit and could no longer maintain its form.

At the last moment, it decided to release the Princess before disappearing, allowing some of the members of Twilight Rain to spot her from a distance.

“They got the Princess!” one of the Sailors shouted as she pointed at Princess Anastasia who was now in Lux’s arms.

The two Rankers on the deck of the ship immediately shifted their attention to the Princess and were already planning to jump off their own ship in order to retrieve her, but the Water Elementalist and the Sniper naturally wouldn’t let them have their way and unleashed a barrage of attacks, forcing the Rankers from Twilight Rain to defend themselves.

Just as the Black Pearl was gaining some distance away from the enemy ship, a tower of water erupted beside the ship and, from there, Harrus appeared.

He had just smashed the Jade Golem to pieces before rushing towards the surface in order to capture one of the ships that belonged to their pursuers.

However, to his surprise, when he emerged, he saw Princess Anastasia being carried by a Human, whom he had already met in the past.

“It’s you!” Harrus shouted as he looked at the chubby teenager who was holding Princess Anastasia with bloodshot eyes. “You’re the one responsible for all of this mess!”

The Brawler then stomped his foot in the air, as if using it as a foothold to propel himself onto the Pirate Ship that was trying to make a run for it.

A moment later, he shot towards Lux like a cannonball with his arms pulled back in preparation to punch the human for getting in the way of his plans and smash him into a pulp.

He had recognized Lux as the owner of the two clones that he had fought in the Port City of Watford.

With all the pent up rage in his chest, the Dwarf prepared to unleash an attack that was strong enough to destroy an entire city wall.

“Die!” Harrus shouted. His enraged face was only a meter away from Lux, and his right fist was just a foot away from the chubby teenager’s cheeks.

Harrus specialized in burst attacks that allowed him to travel at great speeds, and deliver powerful blows that left his enemies hopeless.

Lux, whose face was about to get smacked by a Ranker, was still calm, and met Harrus’ gaze head-on.

Just as the deadly fist was about to hit its target, the Brawler’s body froze, and his attack stopped mid-air.

“Y-You Bastard!” Harrus said through gritted teeth as he forced his right fist to kill the Half-Elf who had gotten in the way of his plans.

However, instead of moving forward, the fist continued to remain in its place, as Harrus’ feet slowly skidded backwards.

“I will not lose to this petty trick!” Harrus roared. As he tried to fight the powerful pulling force coming from behind him.

The Ranker took a step forward in an effort to get near Lux. However, after just taking a single step to approach the chubby teenager, his feet once again slowly skidded backwards, unable to fight the strong pull that was preventing him from killing the chubby teenager who was holding the Princess.

“Your name, Boy?!” Harrus shouted.

He knew that he would be unable to fight the strong pull that was holding him back, so he wanted to at least ask for the name of the person that he planned to kill in the future.

“Randolph,” Lux replied. “My name is Randolph.”

Lux had no intention of saying his name, so he decided to use an alias.

However, the first name that came to his mind was the name of his Master, Randolph, who was happily drinking a mug of mead, back in Leaf Village, without a care in the world.
