Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

After looking at his stockpile, Lux decided to upgrade his Partner, and make him more formidable. After all, the latter would be the main fighting force in this rescue operation.

Since Diablo had a special title, First Born, the amount of skill points he received everytime Lux used a Beast Core to upgrade him was increased.

Lux decided to upgrade Diablo one more time, turning his First Named Creature into a Rank 2 Monster. With the Mythical Sword Blood Moon in his possession, Diablo could now fight Rank 3 Monsters on even ground.

Diablo had managed to collect 268 Beast Cores from the corpses that the Dwarves had left behind. Ten of them were Rank 2 Cores, while the rest were Rank 1 Beast Cores.

Since Lux had used a total of seventy four Rank 1 Beast Cores to upgrade Diablo twice, his stockpile was brought down to one hundred and ninety four.

Now that he had upgraded Diablo twice, it was now time for him to upgrade himself!

Lux was quite happy when Diablo learned the AOE skill, Whirlwind Slash, which would ensure that even if the latter got surrounded on all sides, Diablo would still be able to take out his enemies as long as he wanted to.

The second skill Diablo obtained was Leap. This skill allowed him to jump several meters in the air, before landing in his desired location, causing a small tremor that would deal AOE Physical damage in a four-meter radius that was similar to Whirlwind Slash.

Aside from that, the massive boost in Diablo's Health Points and Defense made Lux feel more secure because this meant that his Partner could take more hits. This would allow Diablo extensive survivability on the battlefield.

After admiring Diablo's Stats for a full minute, Lux decided to upgrade his own Body Constitution, so he wouldn't lag behind his Partner in Crime.

Checking his progression, Lux used twenty Rank 1 Beast Cores to upgrade his Body Constitution to the next stage.

(Options 3) – Guts: A Skill that will allow you to withstand a lethal blow without dying. No matter how powerful the attack is, it will always leave you with One Health Point after the damage has been dealt.

This time around, Lux firmly chose the skill War Cry. This was the skill he needed the most, and he would be a fool if he didn't choose the skill at this critical moment.

Just as the Half-Elf expected, his handy, dandy, Special Evolution [EX] Skill kicked in and upgraded the skill that he had chosen.

'Hell yeah!' Lux wanted to scream so badly, but he held his excitement in.

The only skill that the Rank 1 Kobold Monsters could use was the Slash skill. Since Lux already had it and its upgrade, he didn't learn any other skills from it.

Even so, he was quite happy with the overall improvement in his strength after his upgrade.

Before, he could only summon four Skeletal Warriors to fight for him. With the additional +2 in his Summon Skeleton Skill, he could now summon seven skeletal fighters, which made him a one-man party.

Not only that, he also gained an additional 100 Stat Points that he could distribute freely. However, since Lux had no intention of leaving the Leaf Village for the time being, he merely hoarded his stat points and didn't add any of them to his current stats.

'One more time,' Lux resolved himself to upgrade himself one more time, in order to cope with any variable that might arise during their escape from the Kobold's Nest.

After spending sixty Rank 1 Beast Cores from his stockpile, Lux was once again given a choice between three options to choose as a reward for his Body Constitution Upgrade.

< Ding! >

< Congratulations! Your Body Constitution has been upgraded! >

< Choose one from among these three options as your bonus reward! >

(Option 1) – +50 permanent points to Vitality

(Options 2) – Guts: A Skill that will allow you to withstand a lethal blow without dying. No matter how powerful the attack is, it will always leave you with One Health Point after the damage has been dealt.

(Option 3) – Parry: A passive skill that gives you a high chance to deflect a physical melee, or ranged attack, using your weapon. By breaking your opponent's stance, you will be able to unleash a counter attack.

—--

Lux chose the passive skill, Parry, because this was what he currently needed the most. This skill would be very helpful in the upcoming battle with the Kobolds. Besides, being able to successfully parry against a multitude of attacks would be really handy, regardless who the enemy he was fighting against.

< Skill Evolution [EX] detected the skill Parry. >

< Parry will be upgraded into Expert Parry once the requirements have been made. >

< Since the Skill is learned from your Body Constitution Upgrade and not from a Beast Core, evolution requirements will be waived. >

< Expert Parry >

– A passive skill that gives you a higher chance to deflect a physical melee, or ranged attack, using your weapon. By breaking your opponent's stance, you will be able to unleash a counter attack that has a very high chance to deal critical damage to your enemy.

+5,000 Health Points, Expert Parry,

Additional Reward: +1 Summon Skeleton Archer Skill

– You will be able to summon two more skeleton archers to fight for you.

– This additional reward cannot be used at this time because the requirement to unlock Summon Skeleton Archer has not been met. Once the Skeleton Archer Skill becomes available, the effect of this reward will automatically activate.

Conquest is not all about claiming lands, and expanding your Domain. True conquest is conquering the hearts of people. Once you gain their loyalty, the path to Dominion will open its doors for you.

Note: You're starting to look like a real Novel Protagonist!

Lux smirked as he looked at his current stats with a satisfied look on his face. He had now surpassed Diablo's Health Points, which made him more confident in the upcoming battle.

Not only that, his free stat points were almost 500, which was more than enough for him to step into the ranks of a Grade B Apostle.

The Half-Elf was not willing yet to take that step because he still had many things to do in Leaf Village. There were still plenty of unique quests that he hadn't taken because he was still too weak.

However, right now, even without a party to help him, Lux was confident that he could bulldoze his way through the different areas to fight against the Alpha Beasts, which were the Apex Creatures in the Beginner's zone.

There was a famous saying back on Earth that "In the midst of every crisis, lies great opportunity".

If not for the fact that Colette and the others were kidnapped by Kobolds, Lux would never have the opportunity to upgrade his skills to his current level.

Lux also knew this, but since it had already come to this point, all he could do was to take advantage of his current situation. They were still trapped inside the Kobold's Nest and waiting for rescue.

Unless he, his friends, and the other Dwarves could escape this deadly prison, he wouldn't be able to celebrate the rewards that he had already received from this rescue mission.

'I still have 114 Beast Cores with me,' Lux thought with a smile. 'I think this is more than enough to upgrade the Skeletal Fighters to Rank C, which will unlock the Summon Skeleton Archer Skill.'

The Half-Elf then started to absorb the remaining Beast Cores in his possession to upgrade his Skeletal Fighters twice. More than anything else, he was curious about the options he would be given after he unlocked the Summon Skeletal Archer Skill.

If things went according to the script, then there was a high chance that Lux would have another Named Creature fighting on his side.
