Chapter 1217 The Guardian That Protects The Gates Of Heaven [Part 2]

Struggling under the weight of his friends, Cethus tried to stand, but it was impossible. Because of this, he just raised his head and looked Lux in the eye. "L-Listen! I'm still not done with my speech!" Cethus said despite the fact that his bastard friends were pinning him down on the ground. "Lux, there are times when I hated you, envied you, and became jealous of you. "But after I realized that I'm more handsome and more awesome than you, I started to appreciate the finer things in life. I, Cethus, had only looked up to my Grandma Faustina and Grandma Augustina. And yet, I couldn't help but compare you to them.

"It didn't take long for me to realize that true strength isn't just measured by Ranks or power. Because of you, someone as weak as me was able to stand my ground, despite knowing that I was facing a battle that was impossible to win. "The past me would have definitely run away or hid myself until the fight was over. But when I saw these bastards beside me, I couldn't possibly leave them alone, could I? All of these fools are all brawns and no brains. "Someone like me needs to rein them in, or it would make me look bad if people thought that I knew them. What I'm trying to say is, just as much as you helped us become the better version of ourselves, we are also willing to help you to become the better version of yourself. So, Lux, let's go."

"Someone like me needs to rein them in, or it would make me look bad if people thought that I knew them. What I'm trying to say is, just as much as you helped us become the better version of ourselves, we are also willing to help you to become the better version of yourself. So, Lux, let's go."

Cethus forcefully raised his clenched fist like Gerhart had done a while ago and pointed it at Lux.

"For the sake of those who are waiting for us back home," Cethus stated.

"For those who believe that we will return victorious," Cadmus said as he, too, raised his fist towards Lux.

"For the promises that we made to our loved ones," Keane smiled as he too, raised his fist.

"And for the promise of a better future," Gerhart commented as he raised his fist, just like his friends have done. "A future where we can all walk side by side," Randolph chuckled, raising his fist.

"A future where the children can continue smiling," Grandma Annie added. "A future where we will go on a fishing trip together." King Azza suddenly appeared out of nowhere and placed his hand on Lux's right shoulder, holding it in a vice grip.

"A future where I will join that fishing trip as well," Keoza stated as he placed his hand on Lux's left shoulder.

"Eyah!"

"Eyah!"

"Eyah!"

Anyone who wished to harm his Master must go through him first.

"Thank you, Diablo." Lux placed his hand on his fateful subordinate's shoulder. "You must have a lot of pent-up frustrations, right?"

"Yes, Master," Diablo replied.

Lux nodded his head in understanding. He also had a lot of pent-up frustrations, and it was time for Round Two.

"It's no use," Daniel said in a teasing tone. "No one alive will be able to stop me."

"Good." Lux sneered. "Because it will not be the living who will beat the crap out of you."

Eiko, who was perched on top of her Papa's head, glowed brightly. The Golden Anchor and Golden Candle merged with her body, creating a blue gem. This gem then descended onto the locket on the Half-Elf's chest, merging with it perfectly.

Countless golden orbs of light, representing the souls of everyone who had died on the battlefield, including the souls of the Abyssal Creatures, appeared behind Lux, making Daniel narrow his eyes.

"In the light of day or the depths of night, no small fry backed by an Outer God shall elude my sight.

"May the Souls of the Dead hear my plight. For, I, the Necromancer of Heaven, will ascend this night!"

All the souls of the dead merged with Lux's body, making him radiate a golden aura of Divinity.

The Corpse God appeared behind his back, and this time, it had a golden color.

But that wasn't all. It now possessed hundreds of arms, holding different kinds of weapons, in each hand.

Without even waiting for Daniel to say or do anything, Lux disappeared from where he stood and reappeared in front of the Pseudo-God, who didn't even have time to blink before the Half-Elf's fist smashed into his face and sent him flying. —————————
