"A-Are you perhaps Great Grandmaster Hereswith?" Lux asked after he had bathed in the beautiful woman's curses, that made Cethus' senseless arrogance look cute.
"That is indeed who I am," Hereswith replied. "Has Gaap told you about me?"
"He has," Lux answered. "He said that you are kind, benevolent, caring, beautiful, gentle, and couldn't turn a blind eye to people that need help."
"Awwwww! My Gaap still hadn't forgotten me," Hereswith said softly. "He's so sweet. Unlike you, little c*nt, who isn't even half as cute as him when he was your age!"
Lux pretended that he hadn't heard the beautiful Elf's words, and looked at her with a calm expression on his face.
"Great Grandmaster Hereswith, are you really dead?"
"Calling me Great Grandmaster is so stiff. Just call me Lady Hereswith, or just Hereswith. Also, you still haven't introduced yourself, you little sh*t. Didn't your mother teach you proper manners?"
"I don't have a mother," Lux replied. "Or at least, I am not aware of who she is."
Hereswith clicked her tongue in annoyance, but she no longer continued to hurl profanities at the Half-Elf. Perhaps, she felt that she went too far with her comment about Lux's mother, so she decided to tone down her words a bit.
"Introductions first," Hereswith stated. "My name is Hereswith. A beautiful High-Elf who hailed from the Kingdom of Espoir Frieden. When I was alive, Kings, and Emperors prostrated themselves before me. Powerful Saints were at my beck and call. My three sizes are…"
"Wow…" Lux was at a loss for words because not only was Hereswith confident with her beauty, she didn't mind rubbing it in other peoples' faces as well!
"I finished with my introductions." Hereswith narrowed her eyes. "Now it's your turn."
Lux nodded and started to introduce himself.
"My name is Lux Von Kaizer, and this baby slime on my head is Eiko," Lux said.
"Ei!" Eiko jumped in place as if introducing herself as well.
Lux then smiled and continued his introduction. "I am a Half-Elf, and I hailed from Wildgarde Stronghold in Solais. I am someone who your people call Foreigners, and I have only been in Elysium for less than two years.
"In that span of time, I rose from a beginner, to an Initiate. I am now here to take the Ranker Trial in order to become a Ranker. Also I have two beautiful fiances whom I will be marrying in the future. Although they might not be as beautiful as you, they are exceptional ladies as well. There three sizes are…"
Hereswith listened to Lux's introduction until he was done. The first thing that came out of her mouth, made Lux wonder if they were speaking in the same language.
"Are you bragging?" Hereswith asked with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Less than two years and now you're about to become a Ranker? Not only that, you have two beautiful fiances, and their three sizes could even make the boys their age howl like wolves?
" You little c*nt, do you know about humility? Do you know about modesty? Is this what a Heaven's Necromancer is? Do you know how long it took me to become a Ranker? I died single as well, and you're rubbing your lovers in my face? I curse you! I curse that your d**k will no longer raise its head ever again!"
Lux, who suffered emotional damage from Hereswith's words almost puked blood then and there. He simply followed her way of introducing herself, and thought that it was okay to add more details, especially about his fiances.
However, to his surprise, the beautiful woman, who died single, was raving at him for having two beautiful fiances, who had taken that next step in order to strengthen their relationship.
After a few minutes of being bathed with flying spittle that was filled with hate, and contempt, Lux realized that there were things that he shouldn't say to people who Friendzoned others.
"So, your name is Lux," Hereswith said after calming down. "Tell me, how did you do it? How did you become a Heaven's Necromancer? What was the factor that allowed you to unlock this Sacred Profession?"
Hereswith's questions were filled with anticipation, and a little bit of frustration. As someone who had struggled to enter the doors of Heaven, and falling short from her goal, she wanted to know the answer that had haunted her soul for the past decades of her life.
Lux understood that Hereswith truly wanted to know how he gained his profession, so he began to explain how it all began from the very beginning.
"I was supposed to enter a Dungeon, but ended up appearing in Zangrila," Lux explained. "That is where I met Master Gaap. When I was there, I…"
The Half-Elf told the beautiful High-Elf everything that happened in Zangrila. He described his experiences as clearly as he could, which made Hereswith sigh after Lux finished his story.
"Zangrila… I didn't know that my cute disciple was imprisoned there after I died," Hereswith said in a sad tone. "Gaap, I'm sorry for being an incompetent Master. I made you suffer."
A pained expression appeared on Hereswith's beautiful face that made Lux's heart ache.
He even felt a little jealous because the beautiful High-Elf treated Gaap, and him differently, making him wonder what the Old Half-Ling really looked like when he was younger.
"I understand how you managed to become a Heaven's Necromancer," Hereswith stated after she had regained her composure. "It is indeed a feat worth being blessed by Heaven."
A sigh then escaped Hereswith's seductive lips as she stared at the blue sky above her head.
After a moment of silence, the High-Elf once again shifted her attention to Lux, and gave him a brief bow.
"Thank you for saving my beloved Disciple from his lonely fate," Hereswith said. "Also, thank you for becoming a Heaven's Necromancer. It is the profession that I sought out all my life.
"At first, I thought that I was chasing an impossible dream. However, after seeing you now, it has made me realize that I wasn't wrong when I decided to take a different path in Necromancy that no one had taken before."
Hereswith smiled a bitter smile, and yet, Lux could tell that the bitterness in it wasn't because he succeeded in achieving something that she didn't.
As for the reason behind that bitterness, Lux didn't ask. His instincts were telling him that this was a question that he shouldn't ask the beautiful High-Elf, who had waited for him for decades.
"Since you are already here, I will impart to you my full legacy," Hereswith said with determination. "I will not allow you to break through unless you master all the spells that I created years ago.
"Although Gaap is already your Master, no one can teach you the path of Heaven better than I can. Since I am the Master of your Master, it is only natural that I impart to you my teachings as well."
Suddenly, a mischievous smile appeared on Hereswith's beautiful face that gave Lux goosebumps.
"Prepare yourself, Lux," Hereswith stated. "Your training as a Heaven's Necromancer is officially about to begin."
