Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 902 Abyssal War [Part 1]

?

12th Layer of the Abyss…

"Are the preparations done?" a Demon with two horns on his head asked his right-hand man, who was kneeling in front of him.

"Our Armies have gathered, My Lord," Andras' second-in-command, who went by the name, Jackal, replied. "They are just waiting for you to lead them to battle."

The Demon Lord of the 12th Layer of the Abyss, Andras, clenched his fist as his eyes glowed with power.

"The day has finally come," Andras said as he stood from his throne. "I've waited for decades to screw that b*tch, Rhiannon. I will make her regret opposing me back then."

Jackal didn't lift his head and simply stared at the black marble under his feet.

He didn't know why his Lord suddenly decided to declare war on the Succubus Queen out of the blue.

As Andras' second-in-command, he was certain that his Liege hadn't surpassed Queen Rhiannon's strength, which made him wonder why the Demon Lord was picking a fight with her.

The only way for them to conquer the 13th Layer was if their Master was able to prevent the Succubus Queen from wiping out their forces before they managed to secure the location of the Abyssal Core, which served as the heart of the 13th Layer.

As long as they were able to overwrite Queen Rhiannon's authority over the Core, their Lord would gain a great boost in strength, allowing him to overpower his opponent.

'But that will only be possible if we get to the Core right away,' Jackal thought. 'Did Master perhaps gain a fortunate encounter during his travels?'

While Jackal was deep in his thoughts, Andras walked down the stairs that led to his throne, until he stood in front of his right-hand man.

"Raise your head, Jackal, and order our armies to march," Andras ordered. "Worry not. I will guarantee that this battle is already in the bag."

Jackal wanted to ask his Lord where his confidence was coming from. But since he didn't want to ruin his Lord's mood, he simply bowed his head and left the throne room to follow the orders he was given.

————————

13th Layer of the Abyss…

"They're coming," Queen Rhiannon muttered while sitting on her throne.

She then looked towards the East where the portal of the 13th layer was located.

If possible, she wanted nothing more than to destroy the portal, but doing this was impossible.

The portals connecting the layers were indestructible. They could try to break it, but even if they succeeded, the Abyssal Core of the 13th Layer would just create another one, making the attempt a waste of time and resources.

Lux, Xander, Malcolm, and the Satyrs who were all standing on the mountaintop, gazed toward the East, where they felt a formidable presence.

Malcolm's face paled because he didn't expect that he would feel such a foul and overwhelming presence several miles away.

"This is very different from Queen Rhiannon's Aura," Xander commented. "It's like I'm about to be run over by our Chieftain in his Boar Form."

Ampelos, who had seen Queen Rhiannon fight decades ago, was still calm. They had seen how the Succubus Queen had defeated the Demon Lord, Andras, and forced him to retreat back to the 12th Layer.

But they still doubted whether they would be able to deal with the Demon Lord's Abyssal Legion, which numbered in the hundreds of thousands.

Even with the Legendary Equipment that Queen Rhiannon had bestowed upon them, Ampelos didn't believe that they would win in a head-on confrontation.

The only reason why he wasn't running away was because he believed that after Queen Rhiannon overpowered Andras, she would immediately and single-handedly wipe out the Demonic Army.

'We just have to buy enough time until then,' Ampelos thought as he gripped his shortbow firmly in his hand. 'If things get really dicey, I'll just retreat and beg Andras to spare me later.'

Lux remained calm as he waited for the Demon Lord and his Army to finally arrive on the 13th Layer. He was confident that even if their enemies had the advantage in numbers, they would still prevail as long as Queen Rhiannon was able to hold off the Abyssal Lord.

A few minutes later, Queen Rhiannon appeared in front of her make-shift army and simply said, "It's time".

With a wave of her hand, Lux, Xander, Malcolm, Ampelos, and the Satyrs all floated in the air.

"Let's meet them on the battlefield," Queen Rhiannon stated before flying in the direction of the portal while carrying everyone with her magic.

She had no intention to fight near the Passion Palace because it might endanger the Succubi, whom she didn't want to die in the war.

A few minutes later…

"Have you personally come here to welcome your new Master, Rhiannon?" Andras said with a smile on his face.

"Cut the crap, Andras," Queen Rhiannon replied. "Go back to where you came from before I twist your neck."

"You had the chance to do that several decades ago, my dear," Andras commented. "But now, times have changed. Soon, you will be the one kneeling in front of me and sucking my d*ck like the whore you are."

"I only suck the d*ck of real men." Queen Rhiannon sneered. "You can't even match up to this kid, who is still wet behind the ears."

The Succubus Queen rested her hand on Lux's shoulder, which made the Half-Elf's body stiffen.

"Hahaha!" Andras laughed after hearing his opponent's taunting. "You are comparing me to a child? Even if the Abyss turns into a frozen waste land, I don't believe that you'd suck the d*ck of that boy. Your taste is better than that, Rhiannon."

Lux wanted to spit in the Demon Lord's face for calling him a child. He wanted to shout so badly that the Succubus Queen had sucked him dry until he could not get it up again.

However, he held his tongue.

He had a feeling that if he really revealed that, Andras would get angry, single him out, and kill him right away before the Half-Elf could even understand how he died.

Queen Rhiannon only giggled as she eyed the Demon Lord with contempt.

Just like Lux, she was tempted to tell the Demon Lord that she had already done it with the boy, not just once but multiple times.

But to ensure that her strongest fighter wouldn't die an untimely death, she kept her silence as she eyed the Abyssal Army in front of her.

Andras knew that Queen Rhiannon wished for nothing more than to wipe out his army in an instant before facing him.

That was her only chance at victory and he knew it. Even so, he wasn't worried because he had prepared well beforehand.

"Well then, Rhiannon. Shall we begin?" Andras said before flying towards the sky. "Don't try anything funny. You're not the only one who can wipe everyone out in the blink of an eye."

Queen Rhiannon sneered before flying upwards in order to face the Demon Lord, who was oozing with confidence.

Now that the two powerhouses were in the sky, the ones left on the ground eyed each other.

This standoff didn't last long as Jackal raised his hand and ordered the Demonic Army to advance.

He already knew that the army of the 13th Layer was nothing compared to their own.

Because of this, he intended to wipe them out as soon as possible before advancing to the location of the Abyssal Core that would grant his Master dominion over the 13th Layer of the Abyss.
