Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1079 A Lesson About Humility

Chapter 1079 A Lesson About Humility

"Teach me about humility?" Liam scoffed. "It seems that you still don't understand your position, Lux."

The High-Ranker snapped his fingers, and dozens of Ice Coffins appeared around him.

Seeing this scene, Blackfire opened its lid, and dozens of black hands appeared, which all gave Liam the middle finger.

Lux laughed before coughing a mouthful of blood as a consequence of his actions.

Even though the Half-Elf was in pain, his body still shuddered from time to time as he did his best to hold back the laughter that was bubbling inside his aching chest.

"Cai, I'm sorry," Lux said through the Guild Chat.

"Sorry, why?" Cai replied.

"I might have to hurt your father a bit."

"… What?"

Lux briefly explained to Cai what his father did to him and Keane, making Cai's eyes widen in shock.

'So this is why Grandpa told us to not leave the house for the time being,' Cai thought. 'He knew what was happening.'

The High-Priestess stared at her Grandpa, and the latter only smiled back at her.

Not only was Maximilian aware of what was happening, but he could also see the battle in real-time.

The reason why he didn't put a stop to it was due to the fact that he wanted his son-in-law, Liam, to have a better understanding of his future sons-in-law.

Also, the Saint was curious to see how Lux would deal with Liam's stubborn character.

He believed that after this trial was over, they would be able to recognize each other's strengths, allowing them to have a closer relationship with each other.

"Half of you destroy that coffin," Liam ordered. "The other half, capture that Half-Elf."

The Ice Coffins he created were sentient, but they could only follow very simple commands.

Since he ordered them to capture Lux, they would not attack the Half-Elf and simply restrain him.

As for Blackfire, they would attack it as ordered, making sure that it was destroyed in the process.

Blackfire, who saw the incoming Ice Coffins, hovered in front of its Master for a few seconds before charging at the Ice Coffins head-on.

The two sides clashed, and for a brief moment, the entire Domain was shrouded in darkness before everything returned to what it was.

Blackfire, who had flown past the Ice Coffins, hovered in place.

A moment later, several rows of text appeared on its surface.

< Omae Wa Mou… >

The Ice Coffins that had stopped moving after their clash with Blackfire all shattered into pieces, making Liam's eyes widen in shock.

Out of anger, the High-Ranker no longer wasted any time and took a step forward.

He then reappeared in front of Blackfire and thrust his spear forward, intending to pierce the black coffin's body.

At that exact moment, Blackfire opened the lid of its coffin, and a black hand reached out from the darkness.

It then grabbed the spearhead, holding it in place.

No matter what Liam did, he could neither push nor pull the spear in his hands as it was firmly held in place by the enormous hand that was coming from inside the Black Coffin.

A moment later, the hand pushed the spearhead back, making Liam skid across the ground with a solemn expression on his face.

One of Blackfire's faithful goons, the Black Ogre emerged from within its darkness.

It then looked down pitifully on the High-Ranker who dared to annoy its Master.

Without saying anything, the Black Ogre charged at Liam wielding its enormous steel club that could obliterate a boulder with a casual swing.

"Calamity-Ranked Monster," Liam muttered as he took a fighting stance and activated the abilities that boosted his strength, attack power, and defense.

With one mighty swing, the Black Ogre destroyed the ground in front of him, where the High-Ranker originally stood moments ago.

However, his target was no longer there.

The Black Ogre looked around, but it was unable to find its enemy, and with good reason.

Liam was currently descending from the sky with his spear ready to strike.

He had activated the second ability of the Ancestral Lands, which effectively halved the strength of a single target.

This ability was meant to deal with Saints who would try to conquer their Holy Land by force.

A fearless smile appeared on Liam's face because he was certain that his strike would end the life of the monster that the Black Coffin had summoned.

'Die!' Liam roared internally as he drove his spear downwards with the force of a railgun.

But before he could hit his target the Black Ogre disappeared into thin air, making the High-Ranker's attack obliterate the ground, creating a crater that was hundreds of meters wide.

Liam didn't know what exactly happened, so his reaction time lagged for a bit.

This was a mistake that any High-Ranker shouldn't make, especially when fighting against a stronger opponent.

Even so, he was still a High-Ranker, so he immediately positioned his spear to block the Giant Steel Club that was only a few meters away from his right side.

Since Blackfire had recalled the Black Ogre, the earlier restrictions that were placed on it, disappeared as well.

Because of this, Liam had no choice but to block the full force of its strike, which sent him crashing towards countless trees, creating a trail of destruction in his wake.

This time, it was the High-Ranker's turn to cough out blood.

Even with the additional boosts of his skills and the Ancestral Land, he was still just a High-Ranker.

Fighting against a Calamity-Ranked World Boss was still too much for him to handle alone.

As he propped himself from the ground, he noticed that the black coffin was hovering a few meters away from him.

Suddenly, several rows of words appeared on the surface of the coffin, making Liam feel as if his cheeks were burning.

< Is this the best that you can do? >

< You still have your powers and your fancy tricks, but even with them, is this all you can do? I know a Baby Slime who is stronger than you! >

Liam glared at the Black Coffin as he used his spear to support his body.

"I'm just a High-Ranker, and I'm fighting against a Calamity-Ranked World Boss. It's an unfair battle from the start."

< B*tch, I'm not here to listen to your excuses! >

Blackfire Summoned Three More Calamity Ranked Monsters that made the corner of Liam's lips twitch.

He then shifted his gaze to the Half-Elf, whose body was covered in blood due to the injuries he received earlier.

Lux was currently leaning on his Divine Weapon, Calypso, and watching the battle with a?smile on his face.

He watched as Blackfire trash-talked his father-in-law to the point of making the latter puke blood.

The four Calamity-Ranked Monsters didn't even have to do anything.

They simply stood there and released their pressure, making Liam unable to remain standing.

The Black Coffin then body slammed the SS-High Ranker over and over again, while the Calamity-Ranked Monsters cheered for it.

If not for Maximilian appearing beside Lux, and asking him to reign in Blackfire, the Black Coffin might have really devoured his father-in-law, making him forever loyal to their cause.
