Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 862 Something Profound

?

Seraphina purposely trailed off after making her initial speech because this was Blackfire's plan to pressure Darius to a compromise.

And it worked like a charm.

The Saint begged Lux to make the World Announcement stop.

Naturally, Blackfire paid attention to Darius the entire time, so when the Saint realized that his Fate was sealed, it decided to be merciful and asked Seraphina to put their plan on hold.

However, just before Blackfire was about to return to its Master's room, it sensed the presence of someone very powerful arriving in the city.

It was not only the Black Coffin that sensed King Septimius' arrival. Seraphina sensed him as well.

Naturally, everyone inside Lux's room also sensed the presence of the ruler of Agartha, which made Darius' face turn a shade paler.

Before anyone could even react, a man who seemed to be in his early thirties appeared inside the room with a frown on his face.

"It seems that something very interesting is happening here," King Septimius said with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Can someone tell me what's going on?"

Everyone inside the room immediately pointed at Darius, making the King of Agartha look in his direction.

"Darius, it has been a while," King Septimius stated. "It's good to see that you are in good health. Where is Sion by the way? He should have sensed my presence. Why isn't he here?"

"About that, Your Majesty," Darius smiled bitterly. "Actually…"

The King of Agartha then raised his hand to stop Darius from finishing his sentence.

"We can talk about Sion later," King Septimius stated. "I heard something very interesting just now, and I was wondering if you can tell me what happened and why. Did something happen in this city? Make sure to start from the very beginning."

The King was still smiling and seemed to be very amiable. However, Darius could tell that his ruler was just putting on an act because the Highlanders were inside the room.

Left with no choice, Darius began to report everything that happened. From the moment Sion ordered the Bounty Hunters to capture Lux, up to the point where it ended in a fight. Lastly, he told his King what happened to Sion.

From start to end, King Septimius didn't reply and only listened to the Saint's report. When Darius stopped talking, the Ruler of Agartha rested his hand on Lux's shoulder and smiled at him.

"You brat. You dared to blackmail a Saint and even planned to tarnish my good name?" King Septimius said. "It seems that you need some discipline."

Suddenly, Blackfire appeared beside Lux and even moved close to the King of Agartha, as if staring at him eye to eye.

Rows of text then appeared on the black coffin's surface, allowing the King of Agartha to read them.

[I wouldn't do that if I were you. Earlier, this Old Man had the same domineering attitude as you. However, he realized his mistake and even pleaded for me to stop the announcement in your Kingdom.]

"Hoh? So it was you who was responsible for that fake Announcement." King Septimius narrowed his eyes at the black coffin that was hovering mere inches away from his face.

Words appeared on the surface of the black coffin, allowing the King of Agartha to read it.

[Yes. It was me. What can you do about it?]

The King chuckled before answering the black coffin, who was challenging his authority.

"I can just snap your Master's neck and rid myself of all troubles," King Septimius replied.

Blackfire wasn't perturbed by the King's threats and replied cordially.

[My Master has a relationship with two Supremes. The Dragon King and the Steward of the Crystal Palace. Just like my Master, they have the ability to instantly teleport to your Kingdom. Snap his neck, and you will face their wrath. Are you sure you can handle that consequence?]

"You're bluffing."

[You're a Supreme. You should know when someone is bluffing or not.]

Just like Saints, a Supreme could tell whenever someone was lying. However, since Blackfire was an object, he was unable to verify the authenticity of its words.

Naturally, he knew about the Dragon King because that being was the strongest Supreme in the world.

As for the Steward of the Crystal Palace, although he had only heard a little information about her, a Supreme was still a Supreme and must never be underestimated.

Since he couldn't tell if the black coffin was lying, King Septimius turned to look at the Half-Elf and asked him a question.

"Do you have a relationship with the Dragon King and the Steward of the Crystal Palace?" King Septimius asked.

"Yes, I have relationships with them. In fact, my Guild Headquarters is currently stationed at the Crystal Palace, and Her Excellency, Lady Augustina, personally escorted us to our new home."

Blackfire had used the term "relationship" making Lux's connection with the two Supremes very vague.

It was true that the Half-Elf had a relationship with the two Supremes, as to whether it was good or bad, that was no longer important.

As long as King Septimius thought that there were two Supremes that knew the Half-Elf, he would not do anything high-handed until he had confirmed the news to be true.

"Can they instantly appear here in my Kingdom?" King Septimius voice became cold as he asked this question

Supremes who had the ability to instantly teleport into his domain was something that he wasn't too happy about.

"I'll leave the answer to your imagination," Lux replied in a casual tone.

"You are planning to dodge the question huh?" King Septimius wasn't stupid. He could tell that the Half-Elf was avoiding his question, so he pressed on. "Cleo, I will ask another question and I want you to make him answer me by force."

"Y-Yes, Your Majesty!" Cleo stuttered and looked apologetically at Lux.

Her unique ability allowed her to make those who were weaker than her to do things she commanded. After being good friends with Lux, she no longer wished to use her power against the Half-Elf.

Also, she was now Lux's subordinate for a year according to their agreement. But since it was a direct order from her King, she had no choice but to do it.

"What method can those two Supremes use in order to enter my Kingdom?" King Septimius asked. "Answer me!"

Cleo then used her power to compel Lux to answer, just like she did when the Half-Elf was being interrogated when they first arrived in Rishi City.

Lux's lips quivered as he fought off Cleo's compelling power.

He suddenly remembered his Master's advice to think of something profound in order to overcome her ability.

'S-Something profound!' Lux desperately thought as his will was being invaded by the Saint's power.

At that exact moment, a pair of beautiful thighs appeared inside his mind. Lux momentarily blanked out, and even forgot what King Septimius' questions were.

The Half-Elf recalled the memory of when his head was buried between Iris' and Cai's thighs back in the academy.

The scene was so profound that only the word "thighs" escaped Lux's lips, confusing King Septimius and Cleo.

"What thighs?" King Septimius asked. "I'm asking how those two Supremes can travel to my kingdom instantly!"

"Two thighs," Lux replied in a trance.

King Septimius and Cleo were both baffled by Lux's reply. They had no idea how two thighs could instantly teleport two Supremes to their Kingdom.

But the thing was, no matter what kind of variations they use to press the Half-Elf for answers, his reply would always be "Thighs, Thighs, and more Thighs".

Gaap, who was looking at his Disciple from the side, gave Lux a thumbs up in his heart.

Although he didn't know why the Half-Elf kept on mentioning thighs, he had a feeling that the thighs the red-headed teenager was talking about were the most profound things in the world for him.
