Although Lux's subordinates had now learned the Death God's Aura [EX] Skill, they still needed to put it into practice.
Lux thought that by simply activating the skill, he would be able to use its benefits. But, to his surprise, the skill was not as simple as he thought it would be.
Hereswith explained that the Death God's Aura wasn't a passive skill but an active skill. She had created this skill in order to combine the power of light and darkness, which she managed to do after years of painstaking trial and error.
In order to use it well, one had to master the feeling of being one with this ability. When Lux first tried using it, the skill only lasted for half a minute before dispersing completely.
"I already mentioned that it took me five years to master this technique," Hereswith stated. "You might have learned it through me, but you didn't get my experience of using the skill. This is something that you should discover on your own. Once you're able to release the Death God's Aura for long periods of time, it will feel as natural as breathing. That is the final goal that you should aim for."
Lux understood what the beautiful Elf was trying to say, so he immediately focused on mastering how to use the Death God's Aura. However, Hereswith had other plans for him.
"You can master Death God's Aura later," Hereswith stated. "Your subordinates can master it first. What I want you to do is create your own Transcendent Skill."
"Transcendent Skill?" Lux tilted his head in confusion. "I can create one?"
Hereswith nodded her head. "You are the first Heaven's Necromancer in the world. This means that you are the Progenitor of this class. As the one who pioneered this path, you must create a Transcendent Skill, so those who also choose this path will have a Unique Skill that is exclusive to them.
"As you may already know, all the Professions in the world had a Progenitor. The Progenitor of Necromancers created the skills Summon Skeleton Soldiers, Summon Skeleton Archers, Summon Skeleton Mages, and Summon Golem.
"Because of this, all Necromancers can use these abilities, which have evolved over the years, giving birth to stronger versions of Skeletons and Golems. That's why, as the Progenitor of the Heaven Necromancer Class, it is important to create a Transcendent Skill exclusive only to this profession."
Lux was left dumbfounded by Hereswith's explanation. Asking him to create a Transcendent Skill out of the blue was like throwing a complete amateur into an international competition, which he had no idea about.
"Grandmaster, can I do this later?" Lux asked. "I'm sure that there is a better place and time for this."
Contrary to his expectations, Hereswith firmly shook her head.
"You must create a Transcendent Skill before receiving the World's Blessing," Hereswith replied. "By doing so, the power of the Transcendent Skill will become stronger. Similar to your Skill Evolution [EX]. Who knows? You might even give birth to an [SSR Skill] after you receive the world's blessing."
Lux scratched his head because the hurdle was simply too high. Even so, if his skills could really jump to the SSR Grade in one go, he didn't mind putting more effort into it.
"Grandmaster, can you give me some advice?" Lux asked. "How do you make a Transcendent Skill?"
"Um, just think of the most powerful skill that you can think of that is compatible with the Necromancer Class," Hereswith explained. "As long as it doesn't break the laws of the world, it will materialize and become a reality."
Lux crossed his arms over his chest and pondered.
'The strongest skill that I can think of?' Lux mused.
Several ideas popped up inside his head. Although these skills sounded strong, the Half-Elf wasn't truly satisfied with them.
After spending nearly half an hour thinking, Lux started to feel frustrated because he was going around in circles. In the end, he decided to sit on the ground, cross-legged, and entered a meditative state.
Only after regaining his calm did the Half-Elf do some soul-searching on what the word strong meant to him.
A moment later, he thought of his Stepfather, Alexander, who was a Saint. For the longest time, he thought that no one was stronger than his Stepfather.
The measurement of strength that Lux was using was the Saint Rank.
Of course, he knew that there was a rank above the Saint Rank, which was the Supreme. However, this Rank was too far for him to comprehend, so he decided to remain at the level of Saints.
"Something stronger than Saints….," Lux muttered, and a past memory rose up to help him.
The Seven-Headed calamity that wiped out the Capital City of Wolfpine Barony appeared in his head.
This monster was so strong that even a group of Saints were unable to defeat it completely. The most they could do was seal it away to prevent it from spreading death and destruction within their Domain.
Suddenly, the Half-Elf's body shuddered after he followed that line of thought.
"An existence that even a Supreme cannot defeat…," Lux said softly as he opened his eyes to look at the beautiful Elf, who was flipping the pages of his Soul Book and reading all of the information about him.
The Half-Elf smiled bitterly because he didn't think of it sooner. There was one creature that was so strong that even a Supreme couldn't defeat it.
A creature that would survive even if a planet was destroyed.
It was none other than the Indestructible Golem of Destruction, Antero.
Lux knew that it was impossible for him to create a second Antero. However, what if he could create something that wasn't indestructible, but still very strong?
"Gigantic…," Lux said softly as if he was in a trance.
Using the Hecatoncheires as a template, Lux imagined a skill where his entire army, including his Named Creatures and Members of his Covenant, merged together, forming a single and powerful entity that would laugh at those who opposed him and smash them with a single gigantic fist.
"Deus Gigantia."
Those were the words that escaped Lux's lips while he was in a trance, imagining this creature who would be powerful enough to fight against Antero in a one-on-one battle.
A creature that even Supremes wouldn't be able to defeat so easily.

The skies above the forest where Lux and Hereswith were staying started to turn red.
The beautiful Elf arched an eyebrow after seeing this scene before shifting her gaze back to the Half-Elf, who was still in a trance.
Within the depths of her beautiful eyes, a profound excitement was rising to the surface.
For she, the one who had struggled to become a Necromancer of Heaven, was about to witness the birth of a Legend.
A Legend who would open the doors of Heaven, which she failed to do in her lifetime.
