Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

“Freezing Tempest!” Gerhart roared as he unleashed a tornado imbued with ice in the direction of the Red Giant Hornets that had entered his strike range.

Immediately, the hornets dispersed, but one of them was unlucky enough to get sucked by the spinning tornado of death, which shredded its entire body, leaving deep wounds on the insect’s body.

Its wings were also damaged by Gerhart’s attack, making it unable to escape the cage of death that trapped it completely.

The green-haired Half-Elf clicked his tongue. He expected to deal greater casualties with his attack, but his opponents’ maneuverability exceeded his expectations.

“Everyone, brace yourselves!” one of the Town’s Guards shouted as he positioned himself in front of the residents of Abingdon Town.

The other Guards did the same and immediately engaged the Red Giant Wasps that forced themselves inside the blizzard in order to complete their mission of gathering food for their nest.

These Giant Hornets ignored the guards and simply grabbed as many people as they could before flying out of the blizzard as fast as their wings could take them.

Just like the Mosquitoes, they were weak against the cold. However, their bodies were sturdier than the former, so they could withstand the blizzard for a short period of time.

Screams of pain and fear emerged from the residents as their loved ones were taken away from them by force.

Out of desperation, Gerhart unleashed countless Wind Blades at the Giant Hornets, targeting their wings.

He managed to hit some of them, which forced the hateful insects to crash to the ground and get mobbed by the Town’s Guards and the residents who had the ability to fight.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t save all of them, and dozens of Hornets managed to escape, carrying their prize with them.

Just like the Mosquitoes, the Red Giant Hornets were also accompanied by two Rank 5 Field Boss Monsters, which were called Supreme Dread Hornets.

These Hornets were slightly bigger than the Red Giant Hornets, and their bodies had purple metallic streaks on them, making them look extremely poisonous.

Unlike the other hornets, these two Field Boss Monsters were quite vicious and unleashed dozens of Needle-like spikes, which were coated with poison, at Gerhart, whom they found extremely annoying.

The green-haired Half-Elf had no choice but to defend himself from the combined attack of two Field Bosses, making him unable to help the residents that were being kidnapped right in front of his eyes.

Although all of them had already prepared for the possibility that they would get attacked by several Insects at the same time, they still felt bitter about it when it actually happened.

They were simply stretched too thin!

‘This is impossible!’ Gerhart cursed internally as he created a tornado in front of him to suck up the poisonous needle strikes that were being aimed at him by the Field Boss Monsters. He then sent them out of the blizzard, attacking the Red Giant Hornets, which caused minimal damage to them.

For some reason, these hornets were immune to the poison of their own kind, so Gerhart’s plan to use the enemy’s poison against them was rendered useless.

Lux also understood the hardships that his allies were experiencing at the moment, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After getting injured by the Field Boss Monster’s attack, the red-haired Half-Elf no longer worried about the other battlefields and placed all his focus on the enemy in front of him.

He had already decided that even if the mission were to fail, he would make sure that his entire party would survive at all costs.

Although he felt bad for the residents, that was just how things were.

Lux could have summoned Keoza to turn the tide of battle in his favor, but he could only summon the Crystal Dragon one last time.

Because of this, he decided to just use his abilities and save his Trump Card for when his life was truly in danger.

Just as the Half-Elf had successfully incinerated the Viscous Carabus Ground Beetle’s tough armor, making it screech in pain, something unexpected happened.

The Blizzard that had covered the surroundings stopped completely, making the Half-Elf pause for a brief moment in the attack that he was about to unleash.

The giant, Wendigo-like creature, who ensured that everyone would be protected from the Mosquito Warms, uttered a pained scream as it fell to the ground.

Asmodeus, who was caught by surprise by the unexpected sneak attack that came from the East, immediately summoned several Bone Walls in order to protect his Summon from being finished off by the monsters that they had dreaded the most.

Lux’s face immediately became grim as countless Tetramorium Ants made their appearance.

To make matters worse, it seems that all the Insects had formed an unwritten rule that none of them would be hostile with each other and first target the Humans, whom all of them had labeled as their food supply.

When sardines grouped together, forming a school, they automatically became the greatest fish buffet in the sea.

Several marine creatures such as sharks, seals, penguins, dolphins, and even birds worked together in order to contain these delectable creatures, giving everyone their fair share of food.

That was the current situation in the Shaufell Plains.

Although all of the Insect-Type Monsters didn’t get along with each other, they were able to set aside their differences in order to devastate the defenders and further thin out their ranks.

The monsters knew that this was the best way to enjoy the feast of thousands of people, who had left their town in order to escape from the same creatures that were now attacking them from all directions.

The moment Ithaqua fell, the first line of defense against the Mosquito Swarm and the Giant Hornets also crumbled.

Laura and Livia screamed as countless Mosquitoes descended from the sky, heading in their direction.

Grandma Annie immediately stood in front of her two Disciples and unleashed a Fireball, which instantly blew up the Mosquitoes that it hit.

Unfortunately, the number she killed was not even worth mentioning as countless Mosquitoes dived down to drink the blood of the pitiful Humans and Dwarves, who had nowhere to run.

Randolph and Grandma Annie hugged the two little girls and used their bodies in order to shield them from the Insects that were out for their blood.

At that exact moment, a blazing Fire Wall rose up to intercept the mosquitoes, making them all combust like moths attracted to the flame.

A giant shadow passed over the heads of the residents of Abingdon Town, which made all of them gasp in shock.

A giant Termite then landed beside the wooden wagons where the women, children, and old people were. At first, the Guard was planning to attack the Giant Termite. However, Pietro immediately blocked their path and explained to them who the new arrival was.

“Do not attack him!” Pietro shouted. “He is the former mayor’s Beast Companion!”

After hearing his explanation, the Town’s Guards looked up at the Malevolent Blaze Coned Termite, who ignored them completely.

The Giant Termite had no time to worry about the residents because it was busy sizing up the three Deimos-Ranked Adamantine Tetramorium Ants that were accompanied by lower-ranked Soldier and Worker Ants to feast on the Humans.

Originally, it didn’t plan on aiding the Humans because it knew that even if it helped, it would not be able to defeat the Ants, who were its kind’s mortal enemy.

Even so, it still came despite knowing that it was a hopeless battle.

Why? Because every time it tried to close its eyes, its friend’s final moments appeared inside its mind. Because of this, it was no longer able to sit still and decided to throw caution into the wind and fight the last battle of its life.

“Watch me, Drystan,” the Giant Termite said as it coated its entire body with blazing flames. “I’ll show you that I can be a Hero, too!”

The Giant Termite didn’t want to die, but why did it matter when it no longer had any reason for living? Because of this, he decided to honor his one and only friend’s final wish and risk its life in a battle that it had no chance of winning. ʀᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛʀs ᴀᴛ Nov(l)ꜰre .t

“Come!” The Giant Termite emitted a resounding screech as it faced the countless Iron, Steel, and Adamantite Bullets that were as large as cannonballs, to shield the residents of Abingdon Town, whom his friend, Drystan, had protected over the last few years that remained of his life.
