Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

"Stop!"

"No more!"

"I beg you!"

"Please, stop!"

"End me!"

"Just kill me!"

"Kill me!"

"KILL ME!"

Maeve shouted and pleaded, but her desperate cries fell on deaf ears.

Hana kicked her away before instantly teleporting above her.

She then grabbed the Oracle's head and smashed it to the ground, dragging her for half a kilometer.

The beautiful Oracle who was well respected by everyone in Elysium was no longer recognizable.

Her face had been turned into a mess, bloody and disfigured. It was a stark contrast to what she looked like before she decided to face off against Lux in the Beast Empire.

Her pride.

Her arrogance.

Her confidence.

All of these things and more could no longer be seen.

The Oracle was now like a piece of tattered rag that Hana was using to wipe the floor with.

The Beast King looked at this scene from the sky with a complicated look on his face. He truly regretted his decision, but it was too late to do anything.

Maeve wanted nothing more than for her suffering to end.

But Hana was making sure that her attacks dealt as much pain as possible, without actually endangering the Oracle's life.

She broke Maeve's nose.

She scratched her face.

She broke her fingers one by one.

She broke her limbs one after the other.

Hana did everything she could do to vent her anger, but it was not enough. A single Oracle's life was not enough to stop the hurt inside her chest.

"Hana, that's enough," Lux stated.

The Fox Lady looked at her new Master in confusion.

"What do you mean, Lux?" Hana asked back. "She hasn't suffered enough."

"Of course, she hasn't suffered enough," Lux replied "So stop taking it easy on her."

Hana frowned.

She had been torturing the Oracle for nearly half an hour, and she wasn't holding back in the slightest.

However, Lux still thought that she was taking it easy?

The Beast King shuddered when he heard the Half-Elf's words. Even he found the Oracle's treatment to be unnerving, and yet, the red-headed teenager still thought that it was 'going easy on her'?

However, before the Beast King and Hana could even say anything, Lux's next words made both of their hearts shudder.

"Skin her alive," Lux ordered. "Make sure to do it slowly."

After Hana regained her composure, a wicked smile appeared on her face.

"You're right, Master," Hana bowed respectfully. "I apologize for taking it easy on her. Thank you for correcting me."

The Fox Lady then raised her hand and the nails on her fingers extended.

Soon, the Oracle's pained shrieks reverberated in the surroundings.

While this was happening, Lux shifted his gaze to the Beast King, which made the latter flinch.

"You are going to submit to me, correct?" Lux asked.

"… Yes." the Beast King replied through gritted teeth. "As long as you promise that you will not hurt my family and people."

"Good." Lux nodded. "But I still don't trust you. You are a Supreme, so you can break your word at any time."

"I won't break my word."

"Don't worry. I will make sure that you won't break your word."

Lux then raised his hands and dozens of Calamity-Ranked Monsters encircled the Beast King, making the latter frown.

"I only trust the dead," Lux stated. "If you are serious about becoming my subordinate, you will have to die first."

"Y-You!" the Beast King looked at the Half-Elf in disbelief. "This isn't part of our agreement!"

"Agreement?" Lux smirked. "What agreement?"

"You bastard! I'll kill you!"

"Can you?"

The Half-Elf waved his hand, and the dozens of Calamity-Ranked Monsters attacked the Beast King at the same time.

A ferocious roar spread in the surroundings as Dilan took his Demigod Form. He was serious about becoming Lux's subordinate, but he had no intention of dying and becoming his mindless slave!

"Roar as much as you want," Lux sneered. "Do you think that roaring will make a difference? Do you think it will make you stronger?"

"I'll kill you even if it's the last thing I do!" The Beast King's body shone in a radiant light as he burned his life essence to increase his strength drastically.

He then opened his jaws to unleash a Beam of Light that would annihilate the hateful Half-Elf, who was looking at him with disdain.

"Futile." Lux scoffed.

The Living Armor, which he had re-animated inside the Pantheon of Exile, stood in front of Lux and transformed into a mirror.

The Beam of Light that the Beast King had unleashed was absorbed inside it. A moment later, the Living Armor returned the attack to its owner, taking the latter by surprise.

Dilan had poured all of his strength in that single attack, in hopes that it would kill the Half-Elf and wipe out his subordinates at the same time.

Because of this, he did not have the strength to evade the same attack he had unleashed, which was now about to collide with his body.

A loud roar filled with resentment and unwillingness erupted within the Domain.

The moment the Beast King's giant body crashed into the ground, his domain shattered completely.

Soon, the citizens of the Beast Empire heard the Oracle's pained shrieks as Hana happily skinned her alive in the most gruesome and slowest way possible.

Dilan, who had now reverted to his original form, lay on the ground as he struggled to prop himself up.

However, one of his legs was missing, so his attempt to stand failed miserably.

Lux then summoned the Spear of Longinus and ordered it to increase its length and size, until it became twenty-meters long.

Just as he was about to throw his spear at the Beast King, two Tiger-Kins, who were around five years old, ran to their father and hugged him tight.

They were the Beast King's twin daughters, and they were bawling their eyes out as they tried to help their father stand up.

Tears and snot covered the faces of the two girls, as they called out their father's name, and urged him to stand up.

Dilan felt his heart breaking as he looked at his two daughters who were using their bodies to shield him from the giant spear that was aimed at his heart.

Avernus, who was watching this scene with his arms crossed over his chest, looked at the Half-Elf with a calm expression on his face.

He wanted to see if Lux had already lost his morality.

Truth be told, he didn't care either way.

He was just a little fond of the kind Half-Elf, whom he believed was not suited to become a Necromancer.

But, before Lux could even make his move, a Black Coffin appeared behind the two little girls.

Its lid slid open and a pair of shadowy hands emerged from it.

Blackfire then unceremoniously knocked out the two little girls, who were clinging to their father.

Dilan growled in anger as he angrily tried to stand up in order to save her daughters from the Black Coffin.

He knew what this coffin could do, and he'd rather die than let it do anything to his daughters.

"You know it's very funny. Do you really think that you're the only one who has the right to be angry when their family members are being targeted?"

A feminine voice spoke out from inside Blackfire.

A second later, a specter of a beautiful woman appeared and looked down at the Beast King with cold eyes.

"Lux would never hurt the innocent," Aurora's foster mother, Queen Bianca, said firmly. "It is you people who are forcing him to be cruel."

Dilan calmed down when he heard the beautiful woman's words. His gaze landed on his two daughters, who were being cradled by Blackfire's shadowy hands as if they were very precious to it.

"Lux already told you earlier," Queen Bianca walked forward as a spectral sword appeared in her hand. "He only trusts the dead. But I will give you a way out."

Queen Bianca placed the tip of her spectral sword over Dilan's chest, where his heart was located.

"I will stab you with the intention to kill," Queen Bianca stated. "But worry not. Just before you die, Blackfire will take you in before you breathe your last. That way, you will not have to be revived as an Undead.

"Make no mistake. I am not asking for your permission. I am simply informing you about what I'm going to do. If not for your daughters, you would have died a gruesome death already."

Without another word, the Queen of Agartha stabbed the Beast King's chest, ignoring his defense, and piercing through his heart.

He already didn't have the strength to resist due to how seriously injured he was after receiving his own desperate attack that was meant to kill Lux.

Blackfire moved quickly and absorbed Dilan before he breathed his last.

Queen Bianca then glanced at the Half-Elf and gave him a brief nod.

Lux nodded back, and the giant spear above his head shrank.

He then gazed at the Oracle on the ground, who had just been peeled like a potato by Hana.

Maeve was still shrieking, but her voice gradually gave in.

Hana then looked at her Master with a satisfied look on her face, but Lux's expression remained cold.

"Cover her body with honey, and tie her up with magical chains," Lux ordered. "There is a Colony of Crazed Soldier Ants nearby. I'm very sure that they will be very happy to have something to chew on."

Lux had no intention of letting the Oracle have it easy. Even if she was about to die, he would ensure that she would die a very slow and painful death.

Just as she is about to breathe her last, he would allow Blackfire to absorb her.

Then, when she recovered, he would start the process all over again, using different methods of torture.

He had read many books about how people were tortured and killed when he was still back on Earth.

Lux planned to use all of these methods on the Oracle while he destroyed all the Kingdoms and Empires that had allied themselves with the Divine Army of Light…

And make them understand that touching his reverse scale would bring them all to ruin.
