Chapter 594 While We Live, None Shall Defeat You!
Lux stared at the option in front of him with a satisfied look on his face.
After using all the Rank 4 Beast Bones in his possession, he finally achieved the goal he had in mind.
In the past, he took a lot of chances. But now, he wanted a higher percentage rating to ensure that the chances of success were higher. This proved how serious Lux was into getting a Shadow Lord subordinate.
—----------
<[Possible transformations of your Animated Undead]>
Shadow Lord - 84%
< Do you wish to start the revival? >
< Yes / No >
—----------
Lux took a deep breath before choosing the Yes option in order to start the revival of his new ally. Although he had done this process a few times already, he couldn't help but feel anxious every time he did it.
Suddenly the corpse of the Abyssal Creature disintegrated and formed a dark mist that hovered in front of Lux.

—----------
A two-meter tall creature, whose face was hidden by the hood covering its face, stood in front of Lux.
Dark mist oozed out of his body, making him look like one of those evil bosses in games that the hero encounters near the end of the story.
"Draven," Lux said as he stared at the Shadow Lord, who had knelt like a knight in front of him. "From now on, your name is Draven."

"T-This…," Lux stuttered after seeing the information about Draven in his Soul Book.
Even Asmodeus was speechless after reading his new ally's abilities. What he saw made him think that Draven was very similar to him.
Asmodeus' Unique Ability was to replicate all of Lux's Skills, with the exception of using his Dragon War Arts.
Draven's, on the other hand, was to replicate Lux's stats, giving him the same strength as the Half-Elf.
Not only that, the Shadow Lord also possessed some amazing abilities that would make him perfect for espionage and spying missions.
The ability to copy the appearance, memory, and weapon mastery of the creature whom he managed to steal a shadow from was simply terrifying. It had so many uses that Asmodeus couldn't stop himself from formulating scenarios for how it would prove useful for their faction.
Draven, who had been bestowed a name by Lux, stood up and gave the Half-Elf a deep bow.
As if waiting for that moment, the other member of Lux's Covenant also appeared in front of him and bowed respectfully to their Master.
Bedivere, Zagan, ALL-MITE, and Draven, all bowed their heads and spoke in unison.
"""We of the Covenant swear to protect you. While we live, none shall defeat you!"""
Lux felt something warm spreading inside his chest because he could feel the intense determination of his Knights to carry out their sworn oath.
Because of this, he nodded his head in acknowledgement and asked them to raise their heads.
"My Knights, dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy. I am not perfect, and I am bound to make mistakes along the way. Even so, I ask all of you to stand by me, and protect me at all costs."
"""By your will, Master."""
After making their Oaths, the members of Lux's Covenant all turned into particles of light, with the exception of Draven.
The Shadow Lord took a step forward and merged with Lux's shadow. His role was to serve as Lux's bodyguard 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"Pa!"
Eiko, who had been quiet the whole time, jumped off Lux's head and landed in front of him.
The Baby Slime then looked up at his Papa with a smile and reminded him of something that made the Half-Elf chuckle.
"Don't worry, you will be coming with me tomorrow," Lux said as he crouched down to pick up the baby slime, who started to giggle in his hands. "We will see just what kind of tricks the Haca Dynasty have under their sleeve."
"Un!" Eiko happily nodded her head.
The baby slime was afraid that Lux would leave her with Grandma Annie and the others and go to the battlefield alone.
As someone who was a battle junkie, Eiko didn't want to miss this opportunity to accompany her Papa on the frontlines, where a large-scale war was about to take place.
