Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 505 Light Is Easy To Love, Show Me Your Darkness

Lux didn't bat an eye and chose the first option.

From the very start, he had already decided to make Second a part of his Necromancer Covenant.

Right now, he didn't have an Animated Undead Legion because he had only used the skill, Animate Undead, to revive the dead soldiers of the Ammarian Kingdom, so they could be used as cannon fodder.

Although he had the option to revive those killed Animated Creatures using Beast Cores, Lux had no plan to do that. He would rather revive other dead Creatures than spend his resources on reviving mere cannon fodders.

Of course, he only thought this way because he had become very picky when it came to choosing his subordinates.

Besides, Lux already had a candidate to become the Commander of his Animate Undead Legion, and it was none other than General Revon, who had tried to kill him in the past.

After choosing the option of adding Second to his Necromancer's Covenant, a magic circle appeared under the Vice-General's dead body.

Second's body then floated into the air before it was wrapped up in a black and white cocoon that gave it a very sinister presence.

Two minutes later, the cocoon cracked, and a Creature that Lux had never seen before in his life emerged.

It looked very much like a devil with two crimson horns coming out of the top of his head, but the most distinguishing feature of this Creature was the crescent blade-like weapons protruding from his arms.

Just a glance was enough to tell him that these two blades were attached to the Creature's body, making it known that this was a Creature that specialized in close combat.

Also, another unique trait of this Creature was that half of its body—from head to toe—was black, and the other half was white. The two eagle-like wings on its back were the same color as their respective side of the body.

It reminded Lux of the concept of Yin and Yang back in his old world. His interest was piqued, making him look at this Creature with great curiosity.

As soon as the Creature's feet landed on the ground, it immediately knelt down like a knight and bowed his head respectfully towards his Master.

"Please bestow a name upon me, Master," the Creature said in a calm and respectful manner.

Lux looked at the information of the newly born Creature in his Soul Book, but all he could see in it was countless "????", which made him scratch his head in confusion.

"A name…," Lux thought as he placed his hands over his waist as he looked at the horned creature kneeling in front of him.

Truth be told, he was very tempted to call him "Second", just like the Creature's previous name, but giving a number as a person's name was not something that Lux was comfortable with.

Because of this, he decided to think long and hard on what name he would give to the new member of his Covenant, so that the latter wouldn't hate him in the future, just like the children who hated their parents for giving them trashy names.

"Zagan," Lux said. "From now on, your name will be Zagan."

Immediately after that, several rows of text appeared in front of him as the information about Zagan was updated in his Soul Book.

All the "????" he had seen earlier disappeared completely.

A sigh escaped Lux's lips after reading through the information of the newest member of his Necromancer's Covenant twice.

He finally understood what the High-Ranking Demon was capable of doing.

Zagan's highest stat was his agility, and his skills were mostly lightning based. Lux immediately understood that he was a fighter that excelled in quick attacks and long range magical warfare.

He wasn't a glass cannon, which was a term used for someone, or something, that had strong offensive capabilities, but weak defensive capabilities.

Zagan was a Blitz Attacker that specialized in hit and run tactics when facing strong foes, and eliminating weaker foes before they could even understand what killed them.

When it came to the total of combined stats, Lazarus' and Zagan's stats were higher when compared to Diablo, Ishtar, Pazuzu, and Orion.

The reason for this was that Lux's Named Creatures weren't in their final evolutions.

Lazarus was in its fully evolved state, which was a Great Flame Skull, and Zagan was a Unique Creature that had been birthed through the power of the Abyss, making him stronger than ordinary Monsters and putting him on par with Dragons.

"Thank you for the name, Master," Zagan said. "I will treasure it for eternity."

Lux nodded his head before shifting his gaze to Nero, who had reverted to his Human form, now that the Seed of the Abyss had been removed.

He didn't care if the Guildmaster of the Storm Dragon's Guild would hate him more once he found out that his powers had been taken away from him.

"The next time you get in my way, I will kill you for real," Lux said. "I've already given you enough chances to live. You are only alive now because of the care that was given to me by the people of Wildgarde Stronghold. There won't be a next time."

Lux then turned around to walk away.

Zagan then used the blade protruding from his arm to stab Nero's chest, piercing his heart and killing the brown-haired teenager once and for all.

As Nero's body turned into particles of light behind his back, Lux raised his hand and summoned his Undead Army, including Pazuzu and Orion, who had died protecting him earlier.

"Kill the remnants of Jasper's team," Lux ordered. "Leave none alive."

Lux's subordinates then spread out to assist Einar and the others, who were fighting against the Initiates from Jasper's team.

Keoza, who had already accomplished his mission, chuckled and returned to the Dragon Token in Lux's possession.

He had no intention of joining the war because he was confident that Lux could handle everything on his own.

Just like how the silver-haired man had chosen Nero to be his candidate, Keoza had chosen Lux to be his candidate.

In order to let him grow and reach greater heights, he didn't want the Half-Elf to rely on his strength too much when facing difficult challenges.

Also, Lux could only summon him one more time.

Until then, Keoza would remain inside the Dragon Token and watch the Half-Elf's adventures before he dealt with the loose ends that he had left behind in the Draconic Kingdom of Karshvar Draconis.
