Novel Full Chapter 763 The Army Of Heaven
Faced with countless undead that greatly outnumbered them, Lux, and his army didn’t waver.
The Half-Elf simply crossed his arms over his chest and gave his order.
“It’s Gangbang time!” Lux ordered.
Immediately, Diablo, Ishtar, Pazuzu, Orion, Lazarus, Bedivere, Zagan, Revon, and ALL-MITE charged forward alongside Lux’s Undead Army.
‘Master, are you sure we can’t show them that?’ Asmodeus rubbed his arms together as he intentionally touched shoulders with the Half-Elf, asking for permission to let loose. “My Abyssal Legion still hadn’t been tested. Isn’t this the perfect time to use them?”
“Do you want to bully that girl?” Lux snorted. “She is probably Grandmaster’s relative. We shouldn’t make her lose too badly.”
“… Master, isn’t making her lose with just an army numbering a little over a thousand much worse? At least, if we showed our Abyssal Army, she would feel that her defeat was justified. Come on, let’s do this!”
“We can’t do that,” Lux replied. “After all, the Quest we received earlier told us to win with just this much. If we add more, the World Blessing will decrease as well.”
Asmodeus sighed before reluctantly nodding his head. Lux’s Ranker Trial was only halfway finished.
In order to get the world’s blessing, two more conditions must be met.
One was to fight against a Necromancer that was a realm higher than him, and the other one was…
“Such a farce,” Kieran commented as Lux’s pitiful army charged forward to meet his disciple’s Undead Legion. “Fortunately, it will end soon.”
This was the collective thought of every Necromancer, with the exception of Gaap, who was currently wondering what his disciple was up to.
Lorelei’s Undead Legion all possessed the passive skill Unholy Aura. This Aura increased their attack and defense by 100%.
Lux’s army, on the other hand, didn’t have such a thing. In fact, only his Named Creatures and members of the Covenant possessed the Death God’s Aura.
However, the good thing about this was that this aura could be shared by everyone in Lux’s army. This was the reason why his regular Undead didn’t learn this skill. As long as one of the Half-Elf’s Named Creatures activated it, they would gain this bonus as well.
“Show them what we’re made of boys!” Pazuzu activated his Madlad Rush and advanced ahead of his companions. “Madlad Rush!”
All of the Elite Spirit Protectors did the same, forming a V-Formation, with Pazuzu in the lead.
“Shield Wall!” Pazuzu ordered as he raised his Legendary shield in front of him. “Shield Bash!”
“””Shield Wall!”””
“””Shield Bash!”””
All the Elite Spirit Protectors followed their Leader and activated their skills at the same time, summoning giant blue Tower Shields in front of them, which they would use to ram the Undead army who thought that they could trample over them and their Master’s army.
When the two armies finally clashed, everyone thought that Lux’s Vanguard would instantly be annihilated.
However, the exact opposite happened.
As if having crashed against a steel wall, the advance of Lorelei’s Army came to an abrupt stop the moment they met Pazuzu’s and the Elite Spirit Protector’s, Madlad Shield Bash Combo.
The Vanguard of Lorelei’s Army were all sent flying as the tanks of Lux’s army broke through their formation.
Originally, this wouldn’t have happened. But, due to the special buffs that they received from Lux, all of them had been granted Divine Magic.
This power allowed them to deal great damage to both the living and the dead.
However, that wasn’t all.
The accumulated stat buffs they received from Death God’s Aura, Lux’s title, Lord of the Dead, as well as the Guild Buffs of Heaven’s Gate, allowed them to become a force that could be rightfully called Heaven’s Army.
“W-What?!” Kieran, who didn’t expect to see such a scene gasped in shock. “Divine Magic?! Since when did the Undead have Divine Magic?!”
Divine Magic was one of the weaknesses of the Undead.
In order to counter this, powerful Necromancers bestowed Unholy Aura to their Undead, giving them the ability to resist their greatest weakness. However, no matter how much they resisted it to a certain extent, a weakness was still a weakness.
Lorelei’s Unholy Aura was nowhere as strong as the Unholy Aura of her Master. Because of this, the Divine Magic that Pazuzu and his subordinates wielded negated the meager Unholy Aura she had at the moment of impact.
They then broke through the Undead Army like a hot knife cutting through butter, making all the Necromancers look at this with dumbfounded expressions on their faces.
Suddenly, a loud roar erupted within the two armies, and Pazuzu was sent flying by the Argonaut-Ranked Doom Lord, who was the strongest among Lorelei’s subordinates.
Her other Deimos-Ranked subordinates also moved and stopped the advance of the other Elite Spirit Protectors before proceeding to eliminate them one by one.
At the same time, Diablo and the rest also arrived at the scene and immediately engaged the Deimos-Ranked monsters in battle.
ALL-MITE focused all of his attention on fighting the Argonaut-Ranked Monster, which was a realm stronger than him.
Even so, the Four-Armed Hero, who had a permanent devilish smile plastered on his face, didn’t back down and gave it a Smash! That gave Pazuzu time to recover from the surprise attack he suffered a while ago.
A moment later, a scuffle, similar to that of a gang fight ensued, with both sides throwing punches, kicks, swords, shields, and arrows at each other.
To everyone’s surprise, Lux’s small army was holding its ground against so many monsters, whose numbers were far superior than theirs.
“Wow!” Dracul clapped his hands. “Bravo! But how long will this last? Even though I can see that the Half-Elf’s Undead are superior to Lorelei’s, the number advantage is still something that can’t be overcome so easily.
While everyone was fighting, a Baby Slime was humming a tune. She was currently high above the battlefield and was perched on top of her Flying Blast Bomb, whom she named Bomber.
When she was directly above the bulk of Lorelei’s army, Eiko talked to her Papa through telepathy, telling him that she was going to do it.
‘No, Eiko,’ Lux replied. ‘Don’t take out that giant Skeleton Bomb that you and Glee made. You might destroy the entire Ancestral Grounds if you do that.’
‘Aww~’ Eiko pouted.
That was what she was planning to do, but after being reprimanded by Lux, she decided to not use her tactical nuke for the time being and switched to a “smaller” Skeleton Bone Bomb.
This Skeleton Bone Bomb was of the same size that Asmodeus had used to bomb the Palace of the Haca Dynasty.
Whenever Eiko wasn’t doing anything of importance, she would often summon her clones and her Terrorist Squad to have them make Blast Bombs.
These Blast Bombs would then be enclosed in two to five-meter tall Skeleton Bombs, which Eiko could use as a projectile whenever she wanted.
After getting Lux’s permission, Eiko opened her mouth wide and spat out two of those five-meter-tall Blast Bombs that descended from the sky with a vengeance.
Lorelei, who noticed this sneak attack from the sky, threw two Giant Bone Spears to pierce them.
She didn’t know what it was, but something was telling her that no matter what happened, she mustn’t allow those two projectiles to hit her army.
However, she had greatly underestimated Eiko’s Blast Bombs.
When the two giant Bone Spears collided with the two Skeleton Bone Bombs, an earth-shaking explosion erupted hundreds of meters above the battlefield.
This created a fiery shockwave that obliterated those that were directly under them, leaving the rest of Lorelei’s Army greatly injured from the blaze that spread above their heads.
Lux’s Army, which was at the forefront of the battlefield, had been alerted beforehand.
So when the Skeleton Bombs exploded, all of them took a defensive stance, minimizing the brunt of the aftershock that came from their Fairy Princess’ weapon of mass destruction.
Lorelei was no longer smiling after the series of events that made her feel as if Lux was underestimating her.
Seeing her expression, Kieran knew that his disciple was now about to get serious.
“Congratulations, Gaap,” Kieran commented as he looked at his disciple, who was now about to show her true Trump Cards. “Your disciple has successfully made my disciple angry.”
Gaap, who couldn’t be bothered by Kieran’s nonsense, merely responded with an “Okay”, making Lorelei’s Master snort.
“I think you still don’t understand the situation,” Kieran stated. “If you think that this is the only force that my disciple has, you are greatly mistaken.”
As if to prove that Kieran was telling the truth, Lorelei raised her hand and a dozen Deimos-Ranked Octopaths appeared on the battlefield.
They were the same monster that Lux had first fought in Elysium, which had given him a hard time back then.
Lux and Asmodeus, who saw this, glanced at each other.
“Looks like someone is going to have a field day.” Asmodeus chuckled.
“Indeed,” Lux smirked and gazed at his Revenger, who had now summoned his Clone.
Orion had spent a lot of time dying against an Octopath in Zangrila, raising his Vengeance Level to the limit.
It didn’t matter how many Octopaths Lorelei possessed.
All of them would suffer the same fate under the hands of Orion, who had died hundreds of times against the same Monster that was now at the top of his Kill List.
With one defiant roar, Orion and his clone ran toward the Tentacle-Abominations and stomped their feet on the ground before jumping high up in the air.
Their fists, which were burning with Divine Wrath, smashed against the head of one of the Octopath Monsters, creating a giant hole in it, which made Lorelei and Kieran almost choke on their saliva.
They couldn’t believe that a Deimos-Ranked Alpha Monster had been insta-killed by a Rank 5 Jade Golem.
“Why are you surprised?”
Lux’s teasing tone snapped Lorelei and Kieran from their daze.
“Since you have summoned Deimos-Ranked Monsters, it’s about time to summon mine as well, no?” Lux said. “Come, Greater Light Elemental!”
The Light Elemental, which Lux once summoned inside Whitebridge City, appeared in front of him and began shooting laser beams like a Gangsta at Lorelei’s Army.
Although he was very tempted to summon King Leoric’s Wraith Knights as well, he thought that this was already overkill, so he put this idea on hold for the time being.
Lorelei’s face had now become flushed and her breathing had become ragged.
Seeing this reaction, Kieran became worried that she might actually use her strongest Trump Card, which he told her to only use as a Last Resort when her life was in danger.
Dracul, who was enjoying the battle in the front row seats, wasn’t aware of Kieran’s worries.
Because of this, he didn’t notice right away that the sky above their heads was slowly, but surely, turning crimson, which had never happened before in the Necromancer’s Ancestral Grounds since he had become its Guardian.
“One of the conditions has been met,” Hereswith said softly from within her Domain. “Now… the last and final one. It is also the riskiest of all.”
Although she had a calm expression on her face, deep down, she wasn’t as calm as she looked.
The last condition that needed to be met for Lux to become a Ranker carried a great risk that even she didn’t know if he would succeed at or not.
For now, the only thing she could do was wait.
Wait for the time when Lux would take that leap of faith, and understand what staring death in the face really meant.
