Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Lux walked toward Queen Rhiannon's bedroom, feeling a sense of dread that he couldn't understand.

He didn't know why he was feeling this way, especially since he and the Succubus Queen were now allies.

Since there was no possibility of him being attacked by her, he was finding it difficult to think of a reason for his anxiety.

'Am I just feeling anxious because I want to find Aurora as soon as possible?' Lux asked himself. 'That must be it. Otherwise, there is no other explanation for what I am feeling right now.'

When Lux arrived in front of the door of Queen Rhiannon's bedroom, he raised his hand and knocked.

"Come in."

After getting her permission, the Half-Elf took a deep breath before entering the room. The first thing that assaulted his senses was the fragrant smell of incense, which made him feel relaxed. In front of him was a large canopy bed that could easily fit more than thirty people.

Unfortunately, he was unable to see the Succubus Queen due to the red bed curtains that blocked his vision.

"Come closer, Lux."

Queen Rhiannon's voice which was as smooth as silk reached his ears. The Half-Elf obeyed and walked toward the bed, parting the red curtains that blocked his way.

When his gaze landed on the beautiful lady who was lying on the bed, he felt as if his breath was taken away from his body.

The Succubus Queen was as beautiful as ever. She was even wearing a one-piece black nightgown that looked good on her. However, Lux's gaze wasn't directed at the beautiful woman's face. Instead, his gaze was fixed on the bulge of her stomach, and he was unable to tear his eyes away from it.

A giggle escaped Queen Rhiannon's lips when she saw the Half-Elf's reaction. She didn't expect that she would see him again so soon, and truth be told, she was also taken by surprise.

While her subordinate was escorting Lux to her room, the Succubus Queen had thought of many scenarios as to how the Half-Elf would react after seeing her.

Although she had expected that he would react like this in one of her simulations, the look of surprise and disbelief on his face was priceless, making her unable to stop herself from giggling.

Her giggle brought him out of his daze. But, he was still rooted to the spot, unable to think of what to do next.

"Come," Queen Rhianon said softly. "You can touch it."

As if he was placed in some kind of spell, Lux took off his shoe and crawled across the bed until he arrived beside the Succubus Queen, who was looking at him with a sweet smile on her face.

She even took the initiative to grab Lux's hand and put his palm over her stomach, letting him feel the life inside her womb.

As the Necromancer of Heaven, Lux could feel the strong life force coming from the baby girl, whom he believed would be born very soon.

"Is she…" Lux said in a hoarse voice, while his hand remained in place.

But before Queen Rhiannon could even answer his question, he felt a soft kick from the baby, who seemed to be giving him a greeting.

The Succubus Queen smiled before nodding her head.

"With your power, I'm sure you already know who her father is," Queen Rhiannon replied. "Yes. She is your daughter, Lux, and her name is going to be Dia."

"Dia…" Lux muttered as he looked at the bulge of Rhiannon's stomach, making him feel his heart melt.

Although there were many twists and turns in his relationship with the Succubus Queen, the child she was carrying in her womb was his, and her name was going to be Dia.

She was Lux's first child.

The Half-Elf forcefully tried to regain his composure because, although he was happy knowing that he was soon going to be a father, his reason for coming to the Abyss was just as important.

"Rhiannon, we have to talk," Lux said with a solemn expression on his face.

"It seems that you have forgotten to add Queen in my title," Queen Rhiannon replied in a teasing tone. "But, I will forgive you. This is your privilege for being the father of my child. So, what do you want to talk to me about? I'm sure that you didn't come all the way to the Abyss just to come and see me, no?"

Lux thought of many ways to state his reason for coming to the Abyss to the Succubus Queen without making her feel upset, but no matter what method he used, it all came down to one thing.

"Aurora was killed by a Denizen of the Abyss while protecting the Kingdom of Agartha," Lux said, holding Rhiannon's gaze. "The one who killed her goes by the name Nyarlathotep. I tried to search for her soul all over Elysium so that I could revive her, but she wasn't there. "Someone told me that the souls of those who were killed by Abyssals won't enter the Cycle of Reincarnation. Instead, they would be reborn in the Abyss. I need to find Aurora as soon as possible. Do you have any idea about where she is?"

The smile on Queen Rhiannon's face disappeared the moment she heard that Aurora had died.

As one of the Demigods who ruled the Abyssal World, she knew for a fact that what the Half-Elf was saying was the truth.

Since that was the case, it only made her more worried. After all, Aurora was her daughter. Perhaps due to the shock, Rhiannon almost stood up from the bed in order to charge out of the Thirteenth Layer in order to find her daughter.

However, before she could do that, she felt a jolt of pain in her stomach, making her wince in pain.

Lux, who was by her side, immediately placed his hands on her stomach and used his power to stabilize her condition.

While he believed that there wouldn't be any issue if Dia was to be born right at that moment, he still didn't want that to happen.

At most, the baby only needed two to four more weeks to fully develop, allowing her to be born perfectly healthy.

"Calm down, Rhiannon," Lux stated. "You don't have to worry about Aurora. I will find her, so just tell me where you think she would be born in the Abyss."

Queen Rhiannon took a few deep breaths in order to calm her down. The moment she regained her composure, she looked at Lux with a pleading gaze.

"The souls of those who are killed by the Abyssals are born on the 111th, 222nd, 333rd, and 444th Floors of the Abyss," Queen Rhiannon stated. "However, I am willing to bet that Aurora's Soul would be on the 333rd Level. However, be sure to check the 111th and 222nd Floors, just in case."

Queen Rhiannon then summoned a pendant made of her blood and passed it over to the Half-Elf.

"I'm sure that you already know that Aurora is my daughter," Queen Rhiannon stated. "Her birth was completely unexpected, and the process was extremely complicated. I had planned to seek her out the moment the gates of the Abyss opened to your world.

"Because of this, I left a mark on her soul, using my own blood as a Catalyst in order to bind it to me. Once you step on the Layer of the Abyss where Aurora is located, this pendant will glow.

"After that, all you need to do is channel your power into it, and it will form a red string of Fate that will lead you to her."

Lux took the pendant from her hand and asked her to rest.

"Take it easy," Lux replied. "Once I find Aurora, I will bring her to see you."

A faint smile appeared on Rhiannon's face after hearing Lux's words.

"I'm sure that she will be happy to find out that she has another sister," Queen Rhiannon replied weakly. "Bring her back safely regardless of the form she has been born into."

"I will," Lux said as she held her hand firmly. "I promise."

After saying those words, Lux left the bedroom with a resolute look on his face.

In order to find Aurora, he needed to traverse many layers of the Abyss. Since that was the case, the possibility of him meeting Daniel on his journey was very high.

At the moment, he didn't have the strength to stand up against the Pseudo-God.

Even so, he didn't plan on turning back. Now that he had been given the means to find his lover, he would scour the lands of the Abyss in order to bring his lover back to the people who were waiting for her return.
