Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

"Sh*t!" Lux cussed as he fended off Zane and Zeke's opportunistic attacks and fought against Aurora at the same time.

The two Little Skeletons were Deimos-Ranked Monsters, whom he had originally created in order to accompany and protect Misfortune's Beloved.

But now, they had ranked up into Argonaut-Ranked Monsters and were assisting their Mistress in dealing with the pest that was preventing her from killing her younger self.

After kicking Zeke away, the Half-Elf immediately jumped to his right side and rolled on the ground.

A second later, a beam of purple light obliterated the place where he initially stood, creating a shockwave that pushed him away.

When Lux managed to regain his balance, a crater that was hundreds of meters wide stood in front of him.

Before he could even do anything, two bone swords stabbed his back, piercing through his draconic scales.

Fortunately, Lux's dragon scales were very thick and hard, so the bone swords were only able to embed themselves an inch inside his body.

Lux had also moved his body at the last second, preventing the two Little Skeletons from hitting a vital spot in his body.

'They're getting stronger,' Lux thought before swatting away the two pesky critters, shattering their bodies.

But that wasn't enough to stop them.

Zane and Zeke reattached their bones together and laughed at the Half-Elf as if mocking him for being unable to kill them completely.

"Die!"

Another beam of light descended from the sky, and this time, Lux had no way to avoid it.

Since that was the case, he decided not to evade and take it head-on.

"Calypso!" Lux summoned the Spear of Longinus and used it to block the incoming attack from the Succubus, whose bloodshot eyes were locked onto his body.

Another powerful explosion erupted, obliterating everything around the Half-Elf.

Aurora looked down at the ground, waiting for the dust cloud to recede. A few seconds later, she saw her opponent standing in the center of a crater, his body oozing with white smoke.

"That hur—ouch! Bastards!" Lux swung his spear around, destroying Zane and Zeke, who just landed another sneak attack on him from behind after their Mistress' Beam Attack.

The Half-Elf panted for breath as he looked up at the beautiful lady in the sky, who reminded him of the Succubus Queen, Rhiannon.

Aurora's expression was cold, and her eyes were emitting killing intent. Clearly, she wanted him dead, and if it weren't for Lux's strong physique, he would've lost.

He knew that it was impossible for him to beat Aurora in her Domain.

Not only was she getting stronger, but he could also feel himself getting weaker as if his strength was being sapped out of his body at a steady rate.

Lux knew that this was a trial, but it wasn't his trial. So no matter what he did, it was impossible for him to win.

Only Aurora would be able to defeat herself and overcome her heart demon, allowing her to become a Ranker.

The beautiful Succubus raised her right hand.

A moment later, a giant purple flaming sword that was hundreds of meters long appeared in the heavens and its sword point was pointing at the Demi-Dragon, who was on the ground.

"Time to end this," Aurora stated coldly. "Any last words?"

(A/N: Kekeke. Tell her that you banged her Succubus Mom.)

(E/N: "You'll have a new sister soon, and I'm the father. Call me Daddy.")

"Your mother asked me to tell you that being your mother was one of the happiest moments of her life," Lux stated. "She said that she didn't regret raising you as her own daughter, even though you and her weren't blood-related. For her, you were her precious daughter whom she loved with all of her heart.

"She also said that you don't need to blame yourself for what has happened. If you are still feeling guilty, she also told me to tell you that she forgives you, and she will be watching over you even though she is no longer in this world."

Tears of blood streamed down Aurora's beautiful face as she glared at the Half-Elf from the sky.

"Liar!" Aurora growled. "You liar! How dare you lie to me!"

With a roar filled with anger, sadness, and killing intent, Aurora swung her hand forward as if slashing the air.

Immediately, the Giant Sword descended from the sky, threatening to destroy everything below the Heavens.

Lux, who had a feeling that Aurora wouldn't believe him, also roared as he imbued all of his strength to the Divine Weapon in his hands.

"Pierce the Void!" Lux roared. "Spear of Longi—"

The Half-Elf wasn't able to finish his chant because someone suddenly appeared between him and the Giant Sword that was descending from the sky.

"Kyrie Eleison."

A golden magic circle appeared in the path of the Magic Sword, creating a barrier and preventing it from moving forward.

When the magic circle and the giant sword collided, a powerful shockwave decimated everything within a mile-wide radius around them.

The two forces tried to push each other away as they heeded their Masters' commands.

Lux subconsciously swallowed his saliva as he looked at the girl, who had created the barrier in front of him.

Her long, pink hair fluttered in the breeze, highlighting her delicate form. She stood like a beacon of light, holding off the darkness and preventing the world from being destroyed.

Half a minute later, several cracks appeared on the barrier, making Lux grit his teeth as he clenched his fists in preparation to save the girl in front of him.

However, before he could even do anything, the little girl turned her head to look at him. She had a sad expression on her face, which made Lux's heart ache.

"Don't do anything," the younger Aurora stated. "This is my battle."

As soon as she finished talking, the sound of countless crystal vases breaking at the same time spread in the surroundings.

The golden barrier shattered, and the Giant Sword pushed its way toward the little girl and the Half-Elf, who were only a few seconds away from being annihilated.
