Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gatechapter 203.1: the lord of destruction [part 1]

Several banners fluttered in the breeze as the united army of both the guilds and the Kingdom of Gweliven stood side by side.

Aina stood at the forefront of her guild, clutching the grip of her sword with both hands with its tip embedded in the ground.

At that moment, Lux realized why she was given the title of War Princess. Her beauty, as well as her charisma, could be seen and felt by everyone in the surroundings.

'Although the feeling is very similar, it is also very different,' Lux thought as he glanced at the Dwarf in front of him.

Luna, the star that the Half-Elf idolized back on earth, had a certain presence that would make everyone want to cheer for her. Her songs would uplift people, and her smile would make one feel as if they were gazing at an angel that descended to earth.

Also, her fans gave her the nickname, Angel of Death.

Why? Because a wink from her was enough to send someone to the hospital due to a heart attack. Fortunately, no deaths were confirmed. Even so, ever since then, she had been banned from winking on the stage whenever she was performing.

Aina gave off the same feeling, but it was different from the merry atmosphere that idols and stars had. Perhaps, this was the same feeling of those who served under Jeanne of Arc during the Hundred-Year Wars that happened in the distant past.

She was like a shining beacon that chased away the darkness and ensured that victory would fall upon her side.

'Sid, make sure to protect her at all cost,' Lux ordered via telepathy.

'Yes, Master,' Sid replied. 'As long as this body of mine still moves, I will not allow any harm to come to her.'

Lux then shifted his attention to the black swarm that was slowly making its way towards the city from beyond the horizon.

The only experience he had when fighting many monsters was during the Monster Outbreak and the attack on the Kobold's Nest.

This time, he would be facing a Beast Tide that numbered in the tens of thousands. This was a grand-scale battle that usually happened once every three to five years.

"Everyone prepare," Aina ordered as the sword in her hand glowed brightly. "Everyone, buff up."

"Bless!'

"Heroism!"

"Inspire Courage!"

"Shield of Faith!"

Several buffs fell upon Aina's Guild as they prepared for the battles ahead.

Diablo and Lux also used their Battlecry and Warcry to further enhance the damage of Aina's entire guild, which surprised not only the doll-like beauty, but also her entire guild.

Diablo's passive skill, Warlord Presence, further enhanced their attack, which allowed the Eternal Guild to increase their combat power by a great margin.

"Are you sure you only want to become a temporary guild member?" Aina asked in a volume that only Lux could hear.

"Yes," Lux replied.

"It's a shame."

"I think so as well."

Aina's expression remained the same, but she now understood why Colette liked to always go on adventures with Lux. With someone who had skills that could boost your team's attack and defense, clearing dungeons would be a lot easier, not to mention monster subjugations.

"Brace yourselves," Aina said and the sword in her hand shone brightly.

A moment later, several angelic feathers descended upon everyone, adding a layer of protection to everyone who was under the Warrior Princess' command.

The other guilds, as well as the Army of Whitebridge City, had also finished their preparations.

"Archers Aim!" Aina ordered. "Magicians, prepare your spells!"

Lux didn't summon his Skeleton Archers, because he didn't want to let everyone see the aces under his command. For this mission, he only summoned Diablo and all thirty Skeleton Fighters to assist him in this battle.

Eiko had a determined look on her face as Blackie, Whitey, Rocky, and Mara stood at the ready.

She had only given her Named Creatures one order, and that was to… get as many Beast Cores as they could!

Lux had told Eiko that she was not allowed to participate in the battle, because he didn't want to expose her strength. This made the baby slime pout. But, after hearing her Papa's plan to steal the Beast Cores, Eiko's mood had a 90 degree turn, which made her feel motivated about the battle that was about to come.

The Half-Elf chuckled because he could already see his baby slime happily eating Beast Cores at the end of the day. Eiko was a simple minded baby. As long as she could get stronger, she didn't mind staying on the side and watching the entire world burn around her.

'Eiko, don't tell your Mama about stealing stuff, okay?'

'Pa!'

The baby slime nodded her head. She had never seen so many monsters before. In her eyes, all of them were just Beast Cores that were meant to make her stronger.

"Brace!" Aina ordered and several shield warriors lined up beside her as they raised their shields in preparation to block the first wave that was almost upon them.

Aina gazed fearlessly at the upcoming Beast Tide. She then raised her hand to signal for everyone to standby and wait for her orders.

The moment the monsters stepped into the attack range of the arrows and magical spells, Aina decisively lowered her hand and shouted.

"Open Fire!"

Thousands of arrows, as well as magical spells rained down on the Monster Army, and decimated the cannon fodders that acted as their vanguards.

"Diablo, show them what we're made of!" Lux ordered.

Diablo nodded his head and raised the sword in his hand. It was none other than the Mythical Weapon, Blood Moon, that Randolph had bestowed upon Lux after he successfully saved Leaf Village from destruction.

The eyes of the Skeletal Rider glowed brightly as he sat on the back of his mount, Airon, who was also raring to fight by his side.

On this day, Lux would realize just how overpowered Diablo's abilities could become as long as he stood on the battlefield where the numbers of both allies and enemies numbered in the tens of thousands.
