Chapter 1155 Red-Headed Half-Elves Sure Are Troublesome
Antero had warned Lux through telepathy about Daniel's subordinates, who were waiting on the other side, so he prepared himself for a battle the moment they appeared on the Fourteenth Floor. As soon as they passed through the portal, Lux and his subordinates lashed out and annihilated the observers before they could send a message to Daniel.
Even the Demigod who was assigned to monitor the situation hadn't managed to do anything before James' Silver Spear pierced it through the head, ending its life in a heartbeat.
Blackfire then devoured the Abyssal Creature's body, leaving no traces behind.
As for the corpses of the other monsters in the surroundings, the Liches in Asmodeus' group reanimated them all and added them to their Undead Army.
"I didn't know you were strong, Gramps," Lux said as he looked at James, who was casually smoking a pipe and blowing circles of white smoke in the air. "You killed that Abyssal Lord without it realizing how it died."
"That was just a lucky strike," James replied. "His face scared me, so I threw my spear in reflex."
Lux stared at the Old Man before nodding his head in understanding. He knew that James wasn't obligated to help him, but the latter still did. So, he decided to no longer pry about his amazing spear throw.
"I don't think it's a good idea to head to the next portal directly," James said as he gazed in the distance. It was as if he could see for miles on end, informing the Half-Elf about what he was seeing.
"Then shall we take a detour?" Lux inquired.
"Yes," James answered. "Although it will take longer, it's still the safer option."
The Half-Elf nodded because he agreed with the old man's statement. He wasn't prepared to meet Daniel at this point in time.
If the two of them were to see each other soon, there was only one ending, and that was Lux's death.
Since that was the case, taking the slower yet safer option was the optimal choice.
Lux could tell that although James seemed to be joking, he was half serious with his statement. For an Old Man who could casually kill a Demigod with a single spear throw, he almost felt pity for whoever was foolish enough to ask for his granddaughters' hands in marriage.
After giving it some thought, Lux decided to ask James a question.
"Is there a way for me to go to Earth from Elysium or Solais?" Lux inquired.
James chuckled. "Why? Do you perhaps have a girlfriend that you left in that world?"
"Something like that."
"... Red-headed Half-Elves sure are troublesome."
The old man sighed before looking at the stars in the sky.
"There is always a possibility," James said. "Perhaps at the end of your journey, you will be able to find a way to visit Earth. I can also take you there for the right price. But let's not talk about that now. I'm sure that you don't want to go to Earth pronto, especially since there is a World Ending Calamity that's threatening your world, right?"
Lux nodded. "Right. I have no intention of returning to Earth right now. I'll wait until I gather the Pillars of Eternity first and save Solais."
"You do that," James smiled before puffing on his pipe. "I'll give you a free ride to Earth if you live through this calamity. After all, I can't bring you there once you're dead."
"How about as an Undead?" Lux inquired. "Hahaha. Well, I suppose that's possible. But trust me—your wives wouldn't want you to be Undead. Someone with unlimited stamina is a scary thing to face in bed, if you know what I mean."
Lux scratched his head because he understood what James was talking about.
Although he was a Necromancer, he had no intention of becoming an Undead. He was certain that his lovers would be very sad if that were to happen.
