764 Someone Who Mustn’t Exist
Orion, who had seen his mortal enemy, rushed like a mad lad alongside his clone.
After insta-killing one of the Octopaths, he targeted another one, which made Lorelei cry out in shock.
These were Deimos-Ranked Abyssal Monsters—not regular Monsters one could easily find anywhere.
Octopaths were the all-rounder of the Abyssal Race because they could attack and defend at the same time.
However, against the Revenger, who had his stats multiplied thousands of times, no Deimos-Ranked Octopath, and probably even Argonaut-Ranked Octopath, could survive his burning fists of fury.
"Rage Fist!" Orion and his clone shouted and punched forward.
A Divine Phoenix that radiated Divine Energy flew toward his target and immolated it upon impact. The Octopath was only able to let out an ear-piercing screech before turning into ashes.
"Impossible!" Lorelei gritted her teeth. "How can this happen?!"
Her earlier calm had now vanished without a trace.
Before the battle began, she had all the advantages against Lux.
Her Rank was higher than his.
Her Army had higher numbers compared to his.
Her Army also had a higher rank than his.
And yet, the outcome she envisioned was very different from what was taking place in front of her. Even her Master, Kieran, as well as the other Necromancers, couldn't believe what they were seeing.
This was their first time seeing a Rank 5 Golem obliterate a Deimos-Ranked Abyssal Creature as easily as if he was fighting against a common Monster like a Horned Rabbit.
Orion wasn't the only one who was on a killing spree.
The Greater Light Elemental had annihilated countless undead just a few minutes after it had been summoned. With its Light Affinity, which was the weakness of the Undead, its attacks dealt truly devastating damage.
Just like all of Lux's summons, the Light Rays of the Greater Light Elemental had also been imbued with the Divine Element. Light Magic was already a big threat to the Undead, and now that it was paired up with Divine Magic, the chances of surviving the Elemental's attack decreased drastically.
Although Lorelei still had tens of thousands of Undead under her command, she knew that it was only a matter of time before all of them were annihilated.
Suddenly, a change happened on the battlefield.
All of Lorelei's Named Creatures disengaged from their fight against their opponents and charged toward the Half-Elf, who was at the rear of the army.
Even the Undead ignored their opponents and made a beeline toward the Master of the enemies they were facing.
"Look, Master. Here they come," Asmodeus said while rubbing his hands. "Should I show them what I can do?"
"No need," Lux replied. "Someone else will handle the rest for me."
As soon as the red-headed teenager finished his statement, his First Born, Diablo, appeared in front of him.
Riding on his Nightmare Horse, the Death Knight charged toward the upcoming army and raised his sword, which he had been using ever since Lux had given it to him.
Its name was Blood Moon.
Randolph's Mythical Weapon, which he had forged before he had acquired the Transcendent Flames.
After mastering his newfound power, the Blacksmith reforged his greatest creation, raising its rank and upgrading it to a Legendary Weapon!
"Hellfire Annihilation!" Diablo slashed sideways, creating a crescent crimson blade that flew toward the Undead Army that was targeting his Master.
Due to the number of monsters that had died on the battlefield, Diablo's attack stat had increased drastically, slicing anything that the Crimson Blade made contact with in half.
Although ALL-MITE was the strongest member of Lux's covenant and Asmodeus could copy all of the Half-Elf's skills, Diablo didn't mind it one bit.
For him, Lux was his sole reason for living, and anyone that dared to point their weapons at the Half-Elf would have to go over his corpse first.
The Death Knight had long felt that something was changing inside of him. It was as if he was ready to evolve and take that next step to become stronger.
It was not only Diablo who felt this way. In fact, Lux's entire Army, with the exception of his Covenant, was on the cusp of evolving.
"Whirlwind Slash!" Diablo once again slashed sideways, instantly killing everything within a hundred-meter radius around him.
A moment later, a rain of Divine Ice Arrows descended from the sky.
Not long after, an icy mist spread in the surroundings as Ishtar's attack slowed and killed those that were able to get past Diablo's defenses.
Ishtar, who was now riding on top of one of the Plague Wing Gargoyles, unleashed a flurry of arrows from above.
She was Lux's Second Born, and from a simple Skeleton Hunter, she had evolved into a Nightstalker, granting her the ability to move in the shadows, similar to Draven.
From the rear of Lorelei's undead army, a dust cloud could be seen. The cause of this dust cloud was none other than Pazuzu and his clone, who both had once again activated their Madlad Rush.
He was Lux's third Named Creature, and the Half-Elf had obtained him in the Dungeon of Dominion.
In every clash, he would usually be the first to die. But he was fine with that. He had a role to play, and that was to ensure that his comrades were safe from harm.
His title as Fortress Defender was not just for show.
With one mighty Shield Bash from him, he sent one of Lorelei's Named Creatures, who was a Deimos-Ranked Creature, flying.
Although he was only a Rank 5 Monster, everything he possessed was all Legendary Equipment, all of which he had looted from the General of the Haca Dynasty, Ronan, who had tried to take advantage of Garret's disappearance to force himself on the Great General's wife.
Fortunately, Lux was there so the worst-case scenario didn't happen. And now, clad in Legendary Equipment from head to toe, Pazuzu smashed his spiked mace against another of Lorelei's Named Creatures, making it fly sidewards.
High above the battlefield, the Great Flame Skull, Lazarus, hovered in a stationary spot. His eyes burned with great ferocity as he opened his mouth wide, unleashing a Cone of Cold Flames that was also imbued with Divine Magic.
The role he played in Lux's Army was a Magical Turret that shot countless magical spells at their enemies, supporting his allies on the battlefield.
As for Orion, he had just killed his fifth Octopath, and he intended to kill all of them before they could even say the word "Brah!"
Last but not the least was Asmodeus.
The Archlich's Unique Title was Lord's Equal. This meant that any skill that Lux possessed, with the exception of his Draconic Arts, Asmodeus had them as well.
Gaining Lux's permission, the Archlich summoned his two trusted subordinates, Ithaqua and Morpheus, before summoning his own Skeleton Gangbangers, Skeleton Arcane Archers, Steel Golems, and Liches.
The Archlich didn't bat an eye and merged the Skeleton Gangbangers and Steel Golems, creating two Deimos-Ranked Hecatoncheires on the battlefield.
"Kill them all in the Master's name!" Asmodeus ordered as he spread his arms wide. "Praise the Sun!"
The two Hecatoncheries also spread their arms wide, before swatting Lorelei's Deimos-Ranked subordinates.
"Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora! Ora!" One of the Hecatoncheires shouted as it unleashed a barrage of palm strikes at the Undead Army, crushing them like bugs.
"Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda! Muda!" The other Hecatoncheires also didn't hold back and started their own rampage, face-slapping anything they could reach.
Lorelei clenched her fist before glancing in her Master's direction. Now that it had come to this, she was planning to use her ultimate Trump Card to end the battle.
Kieran, who saw his disciple's glance, frowned before reluctantly nodding his head. This was a battle with their dignity on the line.
They couldn't be choosy with the methods they were going to use.
Just as Lorelei was about to unleash her trump card, something unexpected happened on the battlefield.
"That was a very interesting display of skill and power. You can die now."
Dracul, who was watching the battle from the side, instantly appeared in front of Lux and stabbed his hand on the Half-Elf's chest, catching the red-headed teenager completely by surprise.
"W-Why?" Lux asked as blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
He didn't expect the Guardian of the Ancestral Ground to attack him while he was busy dueling Lorelei.
"It's because you are someone who mustn't exist," Dracul stated coldly. "I didn't sense this earlier, but now I can sense it fully. Your existence here in the Sacred Lands is destroying it from within. If I allow you to break through as a Ranker, this place would collapse, and the Holy Land of the Necromancers will be gone.
"Don't worry. I will at least give you a proper burial ground here in the Ancestral Grounds. That is the least that I can do for you."
Without another word, Dracul crushed Lux's heart, destroying it completely.
The last thing that Lux had heard and saw before darkness overtook him was Gaap's furious cry of anger and despair, as well as Antero's Gigantic Form towering behind Dracul.
"I'll kill you!" Gaap roared as he ordered the Golem of Destruction to annihilate the Guardian of the Necromancer's Sacred Land, who dared to kill his Disciple before his very eyes.
