Novel Full Chapter 531 Plans To Make Heaven’s Gate Stronger Than Ever
Lux held Iris in his arms and enjoyed the warmth of the blue-haired beauty’s body.
Since Cai was still sleeping like a pig after the ceremony ended, the Half-Elf took advantage of her absence and monopolized his fiance.
Both of them agreed that making love inside the Tribe Chieftain’s tent was a bad move, so they simply settled on sleeping together.
The good thing about this setup was that Eiko was feeling clingy as well, so she slept between Lux and Iris, enjoying the warmth of her parents.
The Baby Slime and the young lady had fallen asleep quickly because they were tired from playing the entire day.
Iris and Eiko had also chatted with Rose for a few hours, and the two young ladies enjoyed their exchange of news and rumors that were currently going around the Six Kingdoms.
‘Girls can really talk a lot the moment they get to know each other,’ Lux thought as he looked at his sleeping fiance.
In Lux’s eyes, the two were like gossipy Aunties who exchanged juicy tidbits about the members of the young generation who were making their names known in both Solais and Elysium.
Of course, most of Roseline’s questions were about Lux, who had become a celebrity among the high-ranking officials of the Six Kingdoms, Xynnar War Pact, as well as Skystead Alliance.
To his surprise, Iris told him that Roseline also asked a few things about Keane, which made the corner of Lux’s lips raise up a little bit.
Earlier, he could tell that the young lady had made an impact on the skinny swordsman, especially with how she dealt with the chatterbox Cai, who gave Keane no peace of mind.
‘It’s still too early to tell,’ Lux mused as a faint smile appeared on his face. ‘If this was a novel, the readers would definitely tell the Author that they couldn’t do their bro, Keane, dirty.’
Well, as long as Keane was happy, Lux was fine with anything. So, for the time being, he set this matter aside and started pondering about what he would do for the next two months.
Originally, he planned to return to Karshvar Draconis in order to handle a few matters regarding his Guild. Then after that, he would return to the Kingdom of Gweliven to look for Colette and the others and apologize for not telling them everything.
He also needed to invite his Dwarf Secretary, Emma, whom he had freed from Twilight Rain’s Lycan Mutation Project, to join his Guild.
She was able to fully transform into a Lycan now, which greatly boosts her speed, strength, and fighting prowess.
‘I think Emma was also in the Initiate Rank,’ Lux thought. ‘I wonder how strong she has become now.’
Lux had ordered Emma to remain with Colette and the others to tell them about his fake death a few days after it happened.
Also, he wanted her to better understand how a Guild was managed, so when she became his Guild Member, she could teach him some of the things that he was not aware of when it came to managing a Guild.
‘I just hope Colette won’t smack me with her mace when she sees me.’ Lux sighed in his heart.
The little Dwarves were the first friends he made in Elysium, and they held a special place in his heart. In a Kingdom where he was considered an outsider because of his race, Lux thrived because of the friends he met along the way.
‘It’s a shame that I can’t use my original face when I meet them,’ Lux thought. ‘But, it won’t be long before Scarlet becomes a Ranker. When that happens, I will no longer need to worry about hiding.’
Lux was quite happy to see that Scarlet was nearing the threshold of a Ranker. However, she would still need to pass the World’s Trial in order to get its blessings.
Each Ranker would face a different trial, and some of them even said that the moment they decided to take the test to become a Ranker, they were sent to a place that was far from their homeland.
Lux’s Grandma, Vera, had told him that her Ranker Test sent her to an island filled with Beastkins. Her trial was to help them overcome a calamity, but as to what that calamity was, Vera didn’t explain it in full.
She just said that she suffered hardships before becoming a Ranker and, to this day, she still hadn’t forgotten the lessons she learned from that trial.
Lux summoned his Soul Book and glanced at his status page to see how many more stat points he needed in order to become a Ranker.
‘6,360…’ Lux’s eyes landed on the number of combined stats he currently had. ‘I will need a total of 10,000 combined stats to become an E-Ranker.’
The Half-Elf then activated his Elysium Compendium and looked for information about the hierarchy of Rankings among Mortals.

‘… Saints are amazing,’ Lux thought as he looked at the combined total stats of Powerhouses like his Stepfather, Alexander, as well as Cai’s Grandpa, Maximilian. ‘I wonder—will I be able to step into that rank as well?’
Just looking at the combined stat points needed to become a Saint was enough to deter anyone from thinking about it.
Even Lux, who was confident that he would soon become a Ranker, felt as if the hurdle of stepping into the Saint Rank was too hard to achieve.
He didn’t even bother looking at the Supreme Rank, who were beings that were like the Demigods of the World. He hadn’t met one yet, but he had already met two Saints, which made them more real compared to the Mythical Supremes, who could make entire continents cower with a wave of their hand.
‘One step at a time, Lux,’ Lux said in his heart. ‘You don’t need to hurry. You will get there as long as you don’t lose your way.’
After being a powerless Half-Elf for nearly sixteen years of his life, Lux was able to grow exponentially after meeting Eriol.
In fact, he had already managed to catch up to and even surpass some of the prodigies, like the Four Kings of the Six Kingdoms, whom he had defeated in the Lionheart Tournament in the past.
Even though he couldn’t gain any experience points from killing monsters, consuming Beast Cores directly allowed him to grow by leaps and bounds.
His only concern was his Job Profession which was a Necromancer.
A Necromancer wasn’t someone who relied on his strength alone, but relied on the power of his Undead Army. Compared to the other professions who only focused on their strength, Lux needed to split his resources in order to strengthen his Stats, his Body Constitution, and his Summons.
With that said, he burned through resources really fast. Fortunately, the rewards he got from the previous quests boosted his Necromancy Skills without needing to use Beast Cores to upgrade each one of them separately.
However, he knew well that he couldn’t always be lucky with the rewards.
‘I should bring my Guild to explore a Dungeon for the time being,’ Lux thought. ‘The Sacred Dungeon is too dangerous for now. I’ll just go ask around to see if there are any B-Ranked, or A-Ranked Dungeons that I can explore to farm Beast Cores. Even if I can’t become a Ranker in two months, I should at least upgrade my Body Constitution.’
Whenever Lux upgraded his Body Constitution, not only did he get an overall increase in strength, but his Necromancer Abilities grew as well.
‘Looks like I need to drag Sid along with me for the time being,’ Lux smiled. ‘Just like Scarlet, he is also at the cusp of becoming a Ranker. I wonder, who will become a Ranker first?’
Scarlet was being supported by the resources from Twilight Rain, while Sid accompanied the Draconic Kobold, Cadmus, to the Savage Lands.
The Dhampir always put his life on the line in order to gain the Beast Cores that would allow him to grow faster, not only for Lux but for the sake of his little sisters who were now living in Leaf Village.
As someone who lived as an Assassin, Sid knew the importance of strength. Only by becoming strong would he be able to protect the people important to him and prevent anyone from harming them.
‘I’ll drop by Leaf Village after I finish my tasks in Karshvar Draconis,’ Lux thought. ‘I will bring Master Randolph and Grandma Annie with me in the Dungeon too. I want both of them to raise their Ranks in order to prolong their lifespan.’
Randolph and Annie were already old, and Lux was worried for them. Although Dwarves lived longer than Humans, they could only live up to five hundred years at most.
Lux believed that if his Master and the kind Grandma of Leaf Village were to become Rankers, they would definitely make a major improvement on the overall growth of his Guild.
Randolph was a Blacksmith, and Grandma Annie was an Alchemist. If the two of them were able to create High-Grade Equipment, Potions, and Pills, it would certainly give a boost to the performance of his Guild Members.
‘I wonder… if all the Elders of Leaf Village become Rankers, will it still be considered a Beginner’s Village?’ Lux couldn’t help but chuckle when he imagined this scene in his head.
Due to the many things that were on his mind, the Half-Elf was only able to settle into sleep a few hours before dawn. However, he now had a general plan in his head for how he would use the two months allotted to him, and make himself, and his Guild, stronger than ever before.
