Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 736 Unfortunately, I Have A Grudge Against Twilight Rain

?

"Are you going to come with me quietly, or must I use force?" Lux asked.

"Pa!" Eiko, who was on top of the red-headed teenager's head, raised the Blast Bomb in her hand in a threatening manner.

Clearly, she wanted to make things go 'Boom!' but decided to let her Papa do the talking for now.

Lucius and Ferron swept their glance at their surroundings and deemed that there was simply no chance of them breaking through the encirclement.

'I probably can get away if I were on my own, but I'm not alone,' Ferron frowned as he eyed the Wraith King in front of him with a wary gaze.

Lucius, who was standing behind the High Ranker, was able to calm himself down and assess his current situation.

"I'm very curious," Lucius said while staring at the Half-Elf in front of him. "How could it be possible for someone, who is supposed to be dead, to make his appearance here? You and I have no grudges against each other, so why are you targeting me?"

"True," Lux replied. "You and I have no direct grudges with each other. Unfortunately, I have a grudge against Twilight Rain, so all of their members are my enemy."

"Enemy, you say?" Lucius scoffed. "While it is true that you have the ability to capture me, that doesn't mean that you can take on an entire Dark Guild on your own. Are you sure that you really want to go down this path? If you let me go, I am willing to turn a blind eye to what happened tonight and let bygones be bygones."

Lux chuckled. "Do you think you can sweet talk yourself out of this mess? Sorry, but no can do. Enough talk. Are you going to come with us peacefully, or do we get to beat the crap out of you first?"

Lucius sneered at the Half-Elf. "I'll remember this, you bastard. I'll make sure to inform Twilight Rain that you're still alive. No matter where you go, there is no place here in the Kingdom of Gweliven where you can hide!"

"Good luck with that," Lux sneered back. "Capture him!"

As soon as Lux gave the order, Zagan and Ishtar made their move to capture Lucius.

King Leoric and his Wraith Knights focused their attention on Ferron. Since the Pseudo-High Ranker was still the strongest threat in front of them, they needed to neutralize him as soon as possible.

But before any of Lux's subordinates could even reach the two people, Lucius and Ferron activated their life-saving artifact that would teleport them a mile away from their current location.

Just like Amir, they didn't plan to use it unless it was a last resort.

Unfortunately for them, the location of the place where they would next appear was completely random, so the two of them would be separated from each other.

"Draven, Leoric, and Zagan, apprehend Lucius," Lux ordered as he checked his Soul Book. "He appeared North from here. Don't let him escape a second time."

""Yes, Master!""

"By your will."

The three fastest members of Lux's forces flew North in haste in order to capture the Merchant who thought that he could escape.

"What about the High-Ranker, Master?" ALL-MITE asked. "Aren't we going to pursue him?"

Lux shook his head. "He's only a bodyguard. We don't have any use for him."

In the midst of Lux giving orders to his minions, a high-pitched ringing sound spread in the surroundings.

The Greater Light Elemental that Lux had summoned exploded into a shower of sparks, which meant that it had been defeated by the Rankers of Twilight Rain.

From the very start, Lux had decided to use the Greater Light Elemental, as well as his Undead Summons, inside the Merchant's Guild to serve as a distraction while he dealt with Lucius and Ferron.

"Although things didn't turn out exactly as planned, this isn't bad either," Lux muttered as he gazed in the direction of the Merchant Guild. "Now, Twilight Rain will be aware that someone is targeting their Honorary Elders. They will also know that they are dealing with a Necromancer.

"As for Ferron, letting him inform the Dark Guild about my existence is fine. Actually, things are better this way. With this, all their attention will be shifted to me."

With someone as dangerous as Lux on the prowl, the members of Twilight Rain would be more cautious because there was a high chance that they would be targeted.

This would prevent them from stirring too many waves within the Kingdom of Gweliven until their forces had hunted down the Half-Elf, who was causing them trouble.

Lux would be going to the Ancestral Grounds of the Necromancers in a few days, so he needed to do something big that would catch the Dark Guild's attention.

Furthermore, he also planned to let Shax, Sid, and Bedivere hunt down the important people, serving as the eyes and ears of Twilight Rain, while he was away.

The constant threat of their members continuously being attacked would definitely put Twilight Rain on edge. This would also make them unable to do any of their side missions, such as targeting Aina and her Guild, Eternal, in the short term.

Half an hour later, Draven, Zagan, and King Leoric returned, carrying an unconscious Lucius, who didn't expect that he would be captured as soon as he tried to escape.

"Shax, come to Whitebridge City and bring Sam with you," Lux ordered his Nightgaunt through Telepathy. "If he tries anything funny, you know what to do."

Although Shax couldn't say anything in reply, its connection with Lux was enough to inform the Half-Elf that it understood its Master's order.

"Let's take him somewhere safe," Lux said as he eyed the unconscious Merchant with a smile. "But before anything else, strip him of all his clothes with the exception of his underwear. There is a possibility that he is hiding some other life-saving item with him, and it would be a pain to capture him again."

After giving his order, Lux led his people outside of Whitebridge City in order to find a secluded place to make the Merchant talk.

Now that he no longer had the means to escape, Lucius' fate was sealed in stone.
