Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

842  Tell the Agarthians, Strangers Passing By [Part 2]



"Who are you, really?" Leonidas asked as he pointed the tip of his spear toward his opponent's face.

"Lux Von Kaizer," Lux replied. "Just your friendly neighborhood Necromancer."

Leonidas narrowed his eyes after hearing his opponent's profession. Although Necromancers who fought in close combat weren't rare, he was still surprised. Lux looked so young, yet he was already this powerful.

He knew that Half-Elves had long lives and that looks could be deceiving, so in order to confirm his suspicions, he asked another question.

"How old are you, Lux?"

"Seventeen."

This time, it was the spectators' turn to be surprised.

Even the Princes and Princesses of Agartha didn't think that Lux was really young. Since Half-Elves were like Elves when it came to age, they thought that he was older.

"Is that so?" Leonidas commented after regaining his composure. "It's too bad. You're going to die so young."

Although he had to admire Lux's strength for his age, he was confident that the Half-Elf had no way of defeating him in a one-on-one battle.

Based on what happened earlier, he understood that his opponent wished to fight him alone without using any of his Undead Minions.

Necromancers fought using numerical advantage, and since Lux didn't choose that option, Leonidas was very confident about his chances of winning.

Lux didn't say anything and only smiled.

Although he had to admit that Leonidas was stronger than him, the outcome of their battle was yet to be decided.

Suddenly, the air surrounding Leonidas crackled and distorted. A moment later, the shackles that bound his arms and legs suddenly shattered.

Michael, who initially thought that Leonidas didn't need to remove his limiter in order to defeat Lux, arched an eyebrow.

During Leonidas' career as a Gladiator, he had never once removed the limiter he had placed on himself even though he had to fight very strong opponents like B-Rankers in the past.

Through sheer will and determination, he had won against these opponents. But, now, things were different.

Even Michael didn't know how strong Leonidas was once his limiters were unsealed.

It made the event organizer look at the Mercenary Leader with great anticipation as the latter thumped the rear of the spear in his hands on the ground, causing a ripple to spread throughout the entirety of the Gladiators Colosseum.

For a brief moment, all the fighting inside of it stopped as the Rankers, as well as Lux's forces, all looked at the Mercenary Leader who had taken off his Gladiator's helmet to show his face to everyone.

Long black hair and blue eyes that seemed to have seen all the hardships of the world were revealed, and he gazed at Lux steadily.

Leonidas was nearly two meters tall, and his body was covered with many scars. However, right now, he seemed to be bigger than life as his presence captivated everyone, whose eyes were now locked on his person.

"I am no Hero," Leonidas stated. "Nor have I been a good father or a husband. I have killed many, and many wanted to kill me. I have slain murderers, criminals, bandits, as well as innocents. My hands are stained with blood, and when I die, I am sure that there is a place waiting for me in hell."

Leonidas' profound words resonated within the arena, making everyone wonder what he hoped to achieve with his speech.

"Criminals is what they call us, and here in the Gladiators Arena, everyone wishes to see us fight a Death Match with each other," Leonidas declared. "But today is no ordinary day. My spearpoint doesn't point towards the heart of a fellow Agarthian. Today, I fight not for myself, but for the glory of our entire kingdom."

The Mercenary Leader then pointed his spear toward Lux, who was listening to his speech with a solemn expression on his face.

"My win is Agartha's win," Leonidas stated. "My loss is Agartha's loss."

Leonidas paused for a bit before continuing the rest of his words.

"300 Gladiators versus two people and a mischievous fairy, and yet, the easy fight that everyone envisioned is nowhere to be seen."

A pin-drop silence descended upon the Gladiator's Arena for everyone was starting to realize what Leonidas was talking about.

"Brothers and sisters, will you entrust your lives to me?" Leonidas asked the Rankers, who were still present in the arena.

Out of the 300 Gladiators, around 250 remained.

Leonidas knew that if the battle were to extend longer, these numbers would continue to dwindle, so he decided to activate his unique ability in order to finally end the battle and save the rest of his comrades from dying.

"Yes!" one of the Rankers shouted. "We are with you, Leonidas!"

As if a spark had been lit, the other Rankers shouted to acknowledge his words.

"Then entrust your life to me," Leonidas stated. "Let us fight as one!"

When he finished talking, several beams of light shot out from Leonidas' body and landed on the Rankers who had decided to entrust their lives to him.

These Rankers then all turned into particles of light, gathering around Leonidas, drastically increasing his strength.

C-Ranker.

B-Ranker.

A-Ranker.

S-Ranker.

In one fell swoop, Leonidas' strength had increased by leaps and bounds, surprising the Half-Elf, as well as the spectators in the arena.

Leonidas' Unique Ability was called Power Assimilation.

This ability allowed him to temporarily absorb the powers of everyone that had agreed to fight alongside him, giving him a tenth of their total Stat Points.

Because of this, his Rank surged up to that of a High-Ranker.

Although very powerful, this skill had a limitation.

He couldn't absorb the strength of people past 300, for that was the maximum limit of his skill.

Also, this ability would only last for fifteen minutes, and after that, Leonidas, as well as those whom he had temporarily housed inside his body, would not even be able to lift a finger afterward, making them completely vulnerable.

Simply put, this was an all-out ability.

A skill that must only be used as a Last Resort.

Leonidas had deemed that, in order to defeat Lux, Gaap, as well as Eiko, he needed to gain the strength that would overcome sheer numbers and cut through their army like a hot knife through butter.

"If you have any other tricks up your sleeve, it's time to use them now, boy," Leonidas stated as he took a step forward, causing the ground under his feet to shatter from the overwhelming power radiating off of his body.

"Very well," Lux replied. "I didn't intend to use it here, but since you've already decided to go all out, then I will go all out as well."

The Half-Elf no longer held back and summoned the entirety of his Undead Legion, as well as the Members of his Covenant.

"You're not the only one with that kind of ability," Lux stated. "I also have that."

The Half-Elf then opened the Draconic Wings behind his back and flew upwards.

"Come," Lux ordered as a Gigantic silhouette appeared behind him.

"Deus Gigantia [Epic]!"

A faint chuckle echoed in the surroundings as a Gigantic Skeleton King that was nearly a hundred meters tall appeared inside the arena.

Lux then merged with the blue crystal on its chest, allowing him to take full control of the Unique Skill that he had personally created before becoming a Heaven's Necromancer.

One by one, his Undead Summons, numbered in the thousands, all rose from the ground and merged with the Skeleton King, boosting its strength further.

"Tell the Agarthians, strangers passing by," the Skeleton King spoke as he raised his hand summoning a giant Spear of Longinus, which he held firmly in his hand. "That here, obedient to their laws…

You…

Will…

Die."
