Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 153 Is He Cheating?

"Your name is Eiko, right?" Keoza watched the baby Slime who was munching on berries beside him, as they watched the battle unfold.

"Un!" Eiko replied before taking a red berry in her mouth.

"Who do you think will win?"

"Pa!"

"Oh? So you think your Papa will win?"

"Un!" Eiko nodded as she looked at the projection of the battlefield which showed her Papa looking at his enemies with a confident smile on his face.

Keoza chuckled as he shifted his attention back to the battle. The battlefield where Lux and the others were currently fighting was gifted to him by someone who had suddenly appeared inside the dungeon several years ago.

That person said that if there ever came a time when someone entered the dungeon and managed to reach the Inner Grotto, to have them play the game to relieve him of his boredom.

After seeing how the Half-Elf fought against the Kobolds, the Crystal Dragon found it quite amusing.

'That person didn't lie,' Keoza thought. 'This Siege Warfare indeed is good entertainment.'

When Cadmus returned to the middle-lane of the battlefield, he saw Lux standing beside his twin towers with his arms crossed over his chest.

The moment Lux saw the Draconic Kobold, the Half-Elf waved his hand in a teasing manner. Cadmus snorted as he kept his distance. He had learned from his earlier mistake and decided to not blindly charge towards the red-headed teenager who was hiding behind the watchtowers.

'Those watchtowers need to go,' Cadmus thought as he eyed the two towers with a serious expression on his face.

His own middle lane towers were halfway damaged, but he didn't know what to do about it.

'If I get too close, that fatso will use that trick again to force me to charge in their direction,' Cadmus thought with a grim expression on his face. 'Although the two of them are weaklings, the towers hurt a lot. I won't be able to last long if I come within their range.'

The Draconic Kobold felt frustrated because he couldn't do the things he usually did in the Beginner's Zone. In his own home turf, he could move unhindered and kill anyone he liked. However, when it came to the battlefield he was on, there were things that couldn't be solved by brute force alone.

Lux snickered inwardly after seeing the cautious Cadmus in the distance. He was quite a ways out of the range of Pazuzu's Duel [EX], so they couldn't force him into their towers' attack range.

'Well it doesn't matter,' Lux thought as he casually threw a rock at one of the crystal soldiers, dealing the last hit, and earning gold coins. 'I'll just destroy this tower first.'

Five minutes later, one of the two towers in the middle lane that belonged to the Kobolds fell. This gave Lux an additional 500 Gold, which brought him closer to being able to purchase the recipe he needed to transform his boots into teleportation boots.

The Teleportation Boots allowed him to freely teleport to any location in the map, as long as his allies were there. It was one of the most indispensable items in the game he played back then, and he planned to use it to the fullest in order to deal with the Kobolds.

As the Half-Elf threw rocks at his enemies, taking the last hit, the gold in his possession increased once again. This was something that the Kobolds still hadn't discovered yet, and they were simply earning one gold coin every second.

When the last tower of the middle lane fell, Lux gained another 500 gold, which was enough to buy the recipe for the item that he needed.

Cadmus watched as the crystal soldiers pushed through the middle lane and headed in his direction.

"You won't get past me!" Cadmus roared as he fired a Dragon Breath at the crystal soldiers, leaving them with only a small fraction of their health.

Lux then immediately threw several rocks at his allies, killing them, in order to prevent Cadmus from being able to gain any more gold once he killed them.

The Draconic Kobold was confused by Lux's behavior and simply thought that the Half-Elf had turned crazy. It was at that moment when Cadmus heard a screech in the distance.

A Raven descended from the sky and landed on Lux's arms. A few seconds later, a golden radiance erupted around Lux's body before the Raven flew towards the sky once again, and headed back in the direction of their Stronghold.

"Pazuzu, you know what to do, right?" Lux asked.

Pazuzu nodded. "Yes, My Lord!"

The Demonic Defender ran into the forest using his madlad rush to go to the Bottom Lanes, so he could help the crystal soldiers on their side to destroy the Kobold's lower towers.

Lux, on the other hand, waved at Cadmus with a smile as he ran behind one of the two Guard Towers that belonged to him.

The Half-Elf immediately activated his Boots of Teleportation and teleported to the Top Lanes to help his allies destroy the tower there.

Cadmus stared at the tower Lux stepped behind and frowned.

'Is he perhaps hiding from me?' Cadmus thought. 'That must be it. He knew that he couldn't beat me in a direct confrontation so he is depending on those two towers to defeat me. As expected of a weakling.'

The Draconic Kobold sneered internally as he held his ground. He believed that as long as he stayed in the middle lane, none of Lux's forces would be able to pass by him.

Meanwhile at the Top Lanes of the Battlefield…

Lux saw one Kobold Mage and One Kobold Shaman in the Top Lanes which had greatly helped their forces damage his towers. Right now, one of the towers only had a third of its health remaining, and was on the brink of collapse.

Even so, Lux wasn't worried because he already had a plan in mind.

"Let's go, Diablo!" Lux ordered and his named creature emerged from the forest and used his Duel [EX] skill to pull the Kobold Mage towards their tower.

"Dammit!" the Kobold Mage shouted in anger as it was forced to head towards the Skeleton Rider who was standing near the two deadly towers that had killed Cadmus and its other comrades.

"Sorry, not sorry," Lux chuckled as the Kobold Mage was bombarded by the towers' concentrated attacks.

"Curse you, Half-Elf!" the Kobold Mage shouted in anger before Diablo's sword stabbed his chest, taking his life and the last hit reward.

Lux's plan was to let Diablo gain experience points, so his rank would increase, as well as get enough gold to buy the items he needed.

The red-headed teenager was more of a support character, while the end-game damage dealer, or what gamers refer to as "Carries", would be Diablo and Ishtar. The Half-Elf knew that once his two Carries had been properly equipped, the Kobolds wouldn't stand a chance against them.

After killing the Kobold Mage, the Kobold Shaman hastily retreated, but an ice arrow hit him in the back, slowing his movement speed.

Ishtar released several arrows to not only whittle the Kobold Shaman's life away, but also reduce its movement speed, making it move very slowly.

"Filthy undead!" the Kobold Shaman hatefully cursed as it summoned several wind blades to attack the Skeleton Hunter who was treating him like a shooting practice target.

Ishtar casually evaded the Kobold Shaman's attack before continuing her range attacks. A few seconds later, a Bone Spear pierced through the Kobold Shaman's chest, ending its life.

< Double Kill! >

As the Kobold turned into particles of light, its eyes filled with unwillingness landed on the Skeleton Rider whose body was glowing crimson.

For now, every slain creature in the battlefield, whether it be foes or allies, strengthened Diablo. The red-headed teenager chuckled evilly when he saw that Diablo had already gained +100 Bonus to Physical and Magical Damage, as well as +100 to Defense due to the Skill Blood Fervor, which was an ability of Diablo's Blackrock Legacy Set.

'Cadmus, oh, Cadmus, you're in for a surprise later,' Lux chuckled inwardly as he looked at Diablo's damage and defense stats. With every minute that passed, Diablo's strength grew as both allies, and enemies, supplied him with additional damage and defense.

"Diablo, let's do this!" Lux said as he raised his hand to activate the skill Battlecry, which added 100 Bonus Physical and Magical Damage to him and his allies.

Diablo also raised his sword and activated his own skill, Warlord's Warcry, which added another 200 Bonus Physical and Magical Damage to all of his allies.

The combined +300 to attack and defense made all the Crystal Soldier's bodies turn crimson red as their attacks increased drastically.

"Break the towers!" Lux ordered and their combined forces easily broke the two towers, giving them bonus gold points.

After the two towers were destroyed, Lux charged alongside Diablo and the others and destroyed the two towers that were three hundred meters away from the two towers that they had just destroyed. Due to their increase in strength, the two towers fell helplessly.

< Your Towers on the Top Lanes have been destroyed! >

Cadmus gasped in shock after hearing the words that resounded inside his head. He watched as his two towers in the Middle Lanes were destroyed a few minutes ago, and now, the towers belonging to the Top Lanes had been destroyed as well, which greatly shocked him.

Just as the Draconic Kobold was thinking of what to do next, another notification reached his ears which made his blood turn cold.

< Your Towers on the Top Lanes have been destroyed! >

With an angry roar, Cadmus ran towards the Top Lanes in order to prevent Lux from destroying the Guard Towers that were located at the entrance of their stronghold.

'Just what in Bahamut's name is happening?!' Cadmus shouted internally as he ran with all of his might. 'Don't let me catch you, Half-Elf! I will make sure you die a very slow and painful death!'

—---

After destroying the two sets of towers on the Top Lanes, Diablo and Ishtar returned to the forest, while Lux teleported to the Bottom Lanes to reunite with Pazuzu.

He was chuckling inwardly as he bought an item from the store in his Stronghold, and ordered the Raven to deliver it to him.

Just like the game in his world, each "Hero" was only allowed to equip six items from the store. Right now, the only thing he had were the Boots of Teleportation, but one more item was on the way.

With this item, the red-headed teenager was sure that even if Cadmus were to cross his path, he would be able to escape from the Draconic Kobold without any problems.

The Kobolds were starting to get frustrated because they couldn't believe that the Half-Elf and his Skeletons had been able to overpower them fifteen minutes after their battle started.

Sometimes, Diablo would come charging at them out of nowhere without being detected. Other times, they would see the Skeletal Rider with his body turned completely blue, and his attack damage doubled, which easily reduced their health to zero after they encountered him.

The worst part was when they saw three Diablos at the same time, which made them feel their livers ache.

"This bastard always knows where we are," the eldest Kobold Mage said. "Is he cheating? It's as if he knows where we are hiding when we are about to ambush him, and he goes in the other direction."

"This might be the reason for that." One of the Kobold Shamans took out an item from his bag. "This is called Spy Wards. You can place them on the ground which allows you to see certain areas of the battlefield. He might be using these things to know our location."

"Petty tricks!" one of the Kobold Raiders hissed in anger. "He thought that he was so smart? Then let's fill the entire place with these Spy Wards! Let's see if he can hide from us."

Cadmus felt that it was beneath him to rely on such tactics, but he was out of options at this point in time. The Half-Elf was destroying their towers left and right, and his Skeletons were ambushing his subordinates and killing them.

If they didn't counter his methods, all of them would be forced to just camp in their Stronghold and wait for the Half-Elf to come knocking on their door.

"All of you go to the store and buy these Spy Wards," Cadmus ordered. "Make sure to place them across the entirety of the map, so we can see where this Half-Elf is going."

""Yes!""

—--

Lux snickered as he opened his eyes. "Fools, why are you discussing your plans right beside my Spy Ward? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"

The Half-Elf smiled as he gave an order to Ishtar to return to the Fortress to buy a certain item that would make the Kobolds regret their decision.

'All of you might be stronger than me in the outside world, but here, you're just noobs,' Lux summoned his Skeletons as he prepared to assist Pazuzu in taking down the towers on the Bottom Lanes of the map.

He was already looking forward to the items Diablo and Ishtar were building, to deal with the Draconic Kobold, who was the greatest threat in the battlefield at this point in time.
