Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate-Novel



"Why are you here, Lux?" Gaap asked. "Did your breakthrough fail?"

Lorelei looked at the Half-Elf in disdain after seeing that he was still an Initiate.

Kieran, on the other hand, laughed out loud because the shocked expression on Gaap's face was priceless.

"I still haven't broken through, Master," Lux replied.

"Then, what are you doing here?" Gaap inquired.

He could feel his cheeks burning with embarrassment because his Disciple suddenly popped out of nowhere, and he was about to brag on how amazing the Half-Elf was.

"I'm here because I need to breakthrough," Lux answered.

"Huh?" Gaap blinked. "You came here because you need to breakthrough?"

Lux nodded before shifting his gaze to the beautiful, young High-Elf who seemed to resemble his Grandmaster, Hereswith.

"Are you Kieran's disciple?" Lux asked.

"I am," Lorelei replied. "Hurry up and become a Ranker. Our Masters had a bet on who would win in a battle between the two of us. Don't keep them waiting."

Lux smirked after hearing Lorelei's words.

"The reason why I am here is because you have already become a Ranker," Lux stated. "You have made me wait for you for two weeks, so let's not keep on making everyone wait for our duel."

Dracul, who was listening silently from the side, laughed before clapping his hands.

"Wonderful, a battle with an entire realm as a disadvantage," Dracul said as he clapped his hands. "You remind me of what I was like when I was your age. Handsome, bold, courageous, and last but not the least, someone who had confidence in his abilities. Since he is already here, let's get that duel started."

Kieran and Lorelei both looked at the Half-Elf as if he had some mental issues. The two of them didn't expect that a mere Initiate would dare to challenge a Ranker in a duel.

Gaap, who was feeling embarrassed earlier, chuckled.

He had completely forgotten that his Disciple was different from the rest, and he could freely fight against Low-Rankers even though he was still an Initiate.

"Well, I hate bullying the weak, but since they asked for it, make sure to beat them good, Lux," Gaap said.

"Of course, Master," Lux stated. "I will make both of them understand what kind of Necromancer I truly am."

Kieran shifted his gaze from Lux to the Old Half-Ling who seemed very confident about his Disciple's chances of winning.

'Is this just foolish bravado?' Kieran thought. 'These two idiots are probably just bluffing.'

After coming to this conclusion, Kieran rested his hand over Lorelei's shoulder and nodded his head.

"Teach this fool what a true Necromancer is like," Kieran ordered. "As his senior, you should correct his false confidence and bravado before it ruins his life forever."

"Yes, Master," Lorelei replied before shifting her gaze to the Half-Elf in front of her. "What's your name?"

"Lux Von Kaizer," Lux replied. "Just call me Lux."

"Lorelei," Lorelei said. "Remember the name of the person that will teach you on how to become a proper Necromancer."

"Lorelei?" Lux smiled. "Very well, Miss Lorelei. Teach me on how to become a proper Necromancer. I, on the other hand, will teach you humility because it seems that you have none of it."

The two Disciples looked at each other in contempt, while their Masters glanced at Dracul, who had just finished drinking his cup of wine.

"Very well, I will be the one to officiate this match," Dracul declared. "Don't worry, I swear on my handsome face that I will not let any of you die. Well, if you die by accident, that can easily be fixed."

The Vampire King smiled evilly as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"After all, we are all Necromancers here," Dracul stated. "Raising the dead is one of our specialties."

All of the other Necromancers, who were also loitering around, looked at the two teenagers with anticipation. Life in the Sacred Land was quite boring, and they were in dire need of entertainment.

Now that an opportunity to watch a duel between two young Necromancers had presented itself, none of them would miss this opportunity to see how strong the next generation was.

Hereswith, who was watching this battle from inside the world tree, started to hum.

She had taught the Half-Elf everything she knew within the two weeks that they had spent together, and she was quite satisfied with the results.

After seeing Lux's Soul Book, as well as the information about his subordinates, she was wondering how Kieran's disciple would be able to fight against the Necromancer that she had personally trained.

"Lorelei…," Hereswith muttered. "I can sense my bloodline running through your veins. Perhaps you are the child, or granddaughter of one of my sisters. I didn't think that there would be another Necromancer born in our family."

A moment later, the beautiful High-Elf chuckled.

"Lux, you better not let me down," Hereswith said with a smirk. "Even if you are fighting against one of my family members, you shouldn't hold back and show them the fruits of your training with me. Show them the legacy I have left behind, and let the world know that even in death, no one can stop me from witnessing the results of my hard work!"

Hereswith's loud, and enchanting laughter spread inside her Domain.

She didn't know what she was looking forward to more, Lux's victory over Lorelei, or Gaap's shocked expression, when he saw Lux use the techniques that she had created in her lifetime.

Both were very appealing to her, but more than anything else, she wanted to see Lux's breakthrough.

The breakthrough that would take the entire world by storm.

"Let's go to the Plains of the Dead," Dracul proposed. "That will certainly be the best place for this duel to take place."

Gaap and Kieran both nodded their heads in agreement.

The Plains of the Dead was an open area inside the Ancestral Grounds where duels between Necromancers took place.

This was one of their favorite past times, especially when they were testing the strength of their Undead Subordinates in real battle.

Lux and Gap followed behind Dracul, while Kieran and Lorelei walked a few meters behind them.

The Master and Disciple pair were talking through telepathy, and Kieran was telling Lorelei that he should make sure to humiliate Lux in front of all the Necromancers that were going to watch the battle.

'Don't worry, Master,' Lorelei replied. 'A mere Initiate will not be able to defeat me.'

'I'm not doubting your ability, Lorelei,' Kieran replied. 'I am more concerned that Gaap's Disciple might use some underhanded tricks during your battle. That old Half-Ling had a lot of tricks under his sleeves, and he won't bat an eye at playing dirty during a duel.'

'Understood.' Lorelei nodded. 'I will pay attention to any foul play.'

Just like Kieran had said, he had complete trust in his Disciple's ability to defeat Gaap's Disciple. For him, Lorelei was the most talented Necromancer of the young generation.

Given her Royal and Ancient Bloodline that came from the High-Elves, her magical powers were off the charts. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ Noᴠel Fɪre.net

Also, her affinity with Necromancy had far surpassed Kieran's expectations. This made him very strict while teaching her the proper ways of Necromancy because he didn't want to waste her talents.

'Gaap, I don't know what tricks you are hiding, but your farce ends here.' Kieran sneered inside his heart. 'You should have stayed in Zangrila. If you had, you wouldn't suffer today's humiliation in front of everyone.'

Kieran had long wanted to teach Gaap a lesson, but the Head of Memento Mori had forbidden all of their members from touching him.

Although the Old Half-Ling's Master, Hereswith, had broken her ties with the organization, it didn't change the fact that the leader of Memento Mori had raised her like his own daughter.

Since Gaap was Hereswith's Disciple, he made sure that none of the members of his organization would antagonize the Half-Ling, which they had obeyed reluctantly.

Now that an opportunity had presented itself to indirectly humiliate Gaap, Kieran was sure that his leader would turn a blind eye to this incident, even if it happened to reach his ears.
