Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Two days had passed since Gerald, Natasha, and Rainer had a meeting with Lux and Alexander in Barbatos Academy.

After resting for a night, the three returned to Wildgarde Stronghold and had a high-level meeting with the other Guardians.

The agenda of their meeting was on what they must do in order to maximize the benefits they could reap once the Hidden Domain opened again next year.

After seeing the rewards, and resources that the conquerors managed to bring back home after their adventure, the rulers of the various kingdoms was now very eager to explore the secrets of the Domain of the Fallen, as well as conquer the Sacred Dungeon.

Since Lux, Cai, Keane, Xander, Einar, and Vall, were the only people who could access the Sacred Dungeon at any point in time, the slots in their possession were very valuable.

All of these teenagers had managed to gain a lot after they sold their slots to both Skystead Alliance and Xynnar War Pact.

Due to the delicate balance of relations in Elysium, the Six Kingdoms had no choice but to let the Xynnar War Pact monopolize the 15 slots that belonged to Xander, Einar, and Vall.

Cai and Keane didn't particularly care about their slots, but they had already jumped on Lux's ship. Whatever the Half-Elf wished to do, the two would follow along and do the same.

Due to what happened between Lux and the Vahan Empire, the Half-Elf decided to leave the Skystead Alliance and focus on his Guild for the time being.

Emperor Andreas was quite displeased about how things turned out in Lux's Trial of Leadership. He had already prepared a stage where he would come to save the Half-Elf at the last minute and offer him the opportunity to create a Guild as a compensation.

However, before he could even do that, Vera appeared and made short work of the Rankers that bullied her grandson. The Emperor of the Vahan Empire didn't even have time to properly talk to Lux and work things out because the Half-Elf disappeared without a trace.

Because of this, only the Xynnar War Pact would be able to explore the Sacred Dungeon, while the Skystead Alliance had no choice but to wait for Lux to appear in Elysium, so that they could negotiate and reach a compromise.

Lux, on the other hand, had other plans for the slots available to him, Cai, and Keane.

What he did was to offer the 15 slots to the Six Kingdoms, so they could create an elite party to challenge the Sacred Dungeon. However, he didn't allow Iris to participate in this dangerous mission.

Alexander didn't reject this proposal because he doted on his daughter quite a lot.

The Guild that represented Barbatos Academy in Elysium, Serenity, would send two representatives to participate in the mission.

One was the Guildmaster, Henrietta, and the other was the guild's strongest Shield Warrior.

The other members would consist of two elite members from each of the Six Kingdom, while the last slot was given to Nero.

"Nero, do your utmost to the best of your capacity," Rainer said as he patted his Disciple's shoulder. "This trip to the Sacred Dungeon will be a joint effort by everyone in the Six Kingdoms, so the leader of the expedition will also be decided by the Six Kingdoms. No matter the outcome, obey their orders without fail."

"I understand, Master," Nero replied. "But, if you don't mind, can I ask a question?"

"Okay."

"Did Lux really manage to create a guild? How did he do it?"

The brown-haired teenager was paying close attention to the news regarding Lux's quest to create a guild in Vahan Empire. The last thing he heard was the battle in the Coliseum, which ended in a battle between Rankers.

He hadn't heard if Lux was allowed to create a Guild after that, but after Gerald, Natasha, and Rainer returned to the Stronghold, they announced that Lux had successfully created a Guild within the time frame allocated to him.

Although the other Guardians had their doubts, they still accepted Gerald's explanation.

The Half-Elf knew that the other Guardians would act this way, so he threw something to them as a bonus.

Lux promised Gerald, Natasha, and Rainer that he would allow the Storm Dragon's Guild to have fifteen slots in order to enter the Sacred dungeon, a month after the joint expedition between the Six Kingdoms was over.

This news made the Guardians quite satisfied, so they no longer bothered to check whether Lux had really made a guild or not. However, just for the sake of appearances, they still asked what the name of Lux's guild was, and it was none other than…

"Twilight Rain. That is the name of Lux's guild," Rainer replied. "As for how he did it, he had his ways. If you're still doubting whether it exists, you can just ask the Adventurer's Guild to check their records."

All the Guilds in Elysium were managed by the Adventurer's Guild. Once a Guild Name was created, it could never be used again.

No one could gather information on who the Guildmaster of a Guild was, the rank of the guild, nor the number of its members.

All of this information was confidential.

Perhaps, the only one who could access this information was the founder of the Adventurer's Guild, whom no one had seen since the first Guild Branch was created.

"Twilight Rain," Nero muttered. "Master, where does Lux plan to build his Guild Headquarters? Will the Wildgarde Stronghold provide him with a good location?"

Rainer shook his head. "The Guild has just been founded. Lux is still looking for a good place to build his Guild Headquarters. Also, stop worrying about him. Worry about your own guild, do you understand?"

Nero nodded. "Of course, Master. I won't let you down."

Rainer smiled and once again patted Nero's shoulder before heading towards the Conference Room. The Guardians still had other matters to address.

He just asked for a short break in order to leave some reminders for Nero since the latter was going to participate in the joint expedition with the Six Kingdoms and Barbatos Academy.

After seeing his Master disappear from the hallway, Nero frowned.

'I'll ask the Information and Merchant Guilds in Elysium to collect as much information as they can about Twilight Rain,' Nero thought.

After losing to Lux in the tournament, the brown-haired boy no longer underestimated the Half-Elf and treated him as a real rival.

Nero was confident that no matter what the Half-Elf did, he wouldn't be able to accomplish the things he managed to do with the Storm Dragon's Guild, which he had upgraded to a Silver-Rank Guild with his own efforts.

What he didn't know was that no matter who he asked, he would get no information on the whereabouts of Lux's Guild.

After all, Twilight Rain was the Dark Guild that belonged to the organization that wanted to overthrow the Royal Family of the Kingdom of Gweliven.

Since the distance between the territories were tens of thousands of miles apart, Lux wasn't worried in the slightest even if all the Kings and Emperors in the Eastern Regions of Elysium were to use everything in their power to look for traces of the Guild he was using as a cover.

Barbatos Academy…

Iris hummed as she held Eiko's egg that was resting on her lap.

As a Monster Breeder and Tamer, she was quite sensitive to when an egg was about to hatch.

Right now, she could sense that the baby Slime was about to hatch from her egg at any time, so she decided to wait until Eiko revived again.

Lux was also in the room with her, but he was busy communicating with his Guild Members through a guild chat that was only available to them.

The Half-Elf's guild was the only guild in Elysium that had this function. When Cai found out about this function, she became addicted to chatting with Laura and Livia, who were Sid's sisters that resided back in Leaf Village.

The two little Dwarf girls were quite happy because they had someone to talk to aside from Grandma Annie and their friends in Leaf Village.

The only downside was that if people saw the Boar talking alone to itself, they would think that it had gone crazy because it was laughing about something without anyone around it.
