Chapter 680 What Is Your Profession?
Chapter 680 What Is Your Profession?
?
After reading all the information about his Sacred Class Upgrade twice, Lux finally had a better understanding of his new Profession.
The first thing he did after checking his Soul Book was summon all of his Skeleton Gangbangers, and Steel Golems.
"Come forth! Hecatoncheires!" Lux ordered
Immediately, all of his Skeleton Gangbangers and Steel Golems merged together.
However, something different happened.
Instead of only one, two Hundred-Armed Giants, who were thirty-five meters tall, appeared in front of the Half-Elf.
Not only did the number of Hecatoncheires increase, they had become taller as well.
Also, unlike before, these Giant Abominations were no longer in a berserk state. Both of them knelt to show their respect to their Master, waiting for his orders.
Lux gave the two Giants a brief nod before raising his right hand.
A second later, a bone cocoon materialized in front of him. This was the cocoon where he had sealed the powerful Monster that he had created through his Skeleton Generator Skill.
This monster was so strong that it was impossible for Lux to control it unless he had become a C-Ranker.
Fortunately, after unlocking his Sacred Class, any Monsters he had created would obey his order without fail.
Cracks appeared in the surface of the bone cocoon, as the Monster that had been sealed inside struggled to break free.
Lux crossed his arms over his chest and waited for this savage monster to appear. Deep inside, he was very curious about what kind of Monster it was because its presence was incredibly strong, even though it was in its sealed state.
Suddenly, a mighty roar reverberated in the surroundings and the bone cocoon exploded, sending bone fragments flying in every direction.
It was at that moment when the creature finally revealed itself to the world.
A spindly black humanoid creature with four bat-like-wings, a long spiked tail, two curved horns, and a blank face, that was straight out of a horror story, flapped its wings menacingly before shifting its head towards Lux.
Since it had no face, it didn't show any expression whatsoever. However, the malice that was oozing out of its body was the real deal.
Lux then summoned his Soul Book to look at the information of his new subordinate, whose malicious presence caused Lux's Named Creatures to rally to his side, ready to smack the newcomer if it did anything stupid to their Master.
If the Half-Elf had summoned this sealed monster before he had unlocked his Sacred Class, the first one to die by the fiend's hand would have been none other than him.
But, since he no longer had to worry about getting attacked by any creature he had created, the red-headed teenager took his time to read the information of the Argonaut-Ranked Alpha Monster, who was now under his control.

< Before you access this creature's information, bestow it a name first, or it will break free from your control >
< Time remaining to give the creature a name: 00:05:34 >

The Half-Elf glanced at the alien-looking creature in front of him, and was tempted to call it Batm*n.
However, since he had a feeling that Copyright Gods existed, he decided to think of another name for it.
"Shax," Lux declared. "From now on, your name will be Shax."

'He is a stronger version of Zagan,' Lux thought after reading Shax's information.
With a high agility stat, the Half-Elf was certain that the Nightgaunt would be able to travel at great speeds, attacking his enemies before they could even see what hit them.
Lux was surprised to see that Shax also had the Doppelganger [EX] skill, allowing him to create two clones that were just as deadly as him.
The Nightgaunt was at least three meters tall, casting an intimidating presence to those that could see its visage. Its faceless appearance also made it more horrifying because no one would ever be able to tell what it was thinking.
Shax was the second highest ranking member of Lux's army, second only to Leoric, who was a Dreadnaught World Boss monster.
With this powerful new subordinate, Lux was feeling a little more confident when it came to facing stronger opponents in the future.
'I don't know how I ended up in this place, but I'm glad I did,' Lux mused.
He believed that if he had stayed inside the Gate of Famine, he would have never set foot in Zangrila, not met Gaap, as well as became Leoric's benefactor.
If only the Abyssal Duke, who was sealed in the Gate of the Apocalypse, could see Lux now, he would have definitely cursed the Half-Elf for having so many fortuitous encounters after his failed attempt to send the red-headed teenager to the Void, where he would certainly meet his end.
"Lux, we need to talk."
The Half-Elf turned to look behind him to see Gaap sitting on top of an Undead Abyssal Wyvern.
Lux nodded his head in understanding and landed in the plaza with the old Half-Ling , so that they could talk properly.
"Tell me, what is your profession?" Gaap asked.
"Spar– I mean, a Necromancer," Lux replied.
Gaap snorted. "Just a Necromancer? What you did isn't something that an ordinary Necromancer can do. Tell me, have you upgraded your Profession to something more powerful?"
Lux purposely didn't tell his Master what his Profession was because he was afraid that the latter wouldn't believe him. However, since Gaap seemed to know that he was no longer an ordinary Necromancer, the Half-Elf no longer hesitated and told his Master the truth.
"Master, my profession had an upgrade and I became a Heaven's Necromancer," Lux replied. "Sounds cool, right?"
Gaap's face immediately became solemn because Lux's words confirmed his suspicions. He had originally planned to make the Half-Elf walk the thorny and lonely path of a true Necromancer.
But now, he changed his mind.
"Heaven's Necromancer," Gaap said softly. "So it really exists…"
The old Half-Ling once again remembered his Master, who had also tried to take the path of righteousness. However, her circumstances didn't allow her to succeed.
Instead of becoming one, she met her end, being hunted down by the Champions of the Hellion Knight Templars, whose role was to eradicate anyone, whom they judged to be a heretic that threatened the peace and stability of the world.
