Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1021  The Cruel Necromancer Of Heaven [Part 4]

Maeve's plan was to weaken and possibly seriously injure the Beast King using the Apostles she brought with her.

Once the Domain disappeared, she would immediately use her artifact that would teleport her to the underground Headquarters of the Divine Army, escaping her current situation.

Since the Beast King had changed sides, she no longer treated him as a comrade and ordered all of her subordinates to attack him without mercy.

Although they were reluctant to leave her alone, the fifteen remaining Apostles all activated their ability and turned into Pseudo-Supremes.

They had seen how the Beast King had dealt with their comrades earlier, so they wouldn't allow the same thing to happen to them.

A moment later, the fifteen Pseudo-Supremes and the Giant White Tiger clashed.

Loud explosions erupted within the Dimensional Domain, destroying the city devoid of any of its citizens.

Maeve looked at this scenario with a sneer on her face while continuing to distance herself from the battlefield.

However, just as she was about to reach the edge of the domain, a cold and disdainful voice sounded in her ears.

"You can run, but you can't hide from me, B*tch!"

The Oracle immediately dodged to her right side, evading a punch from the Fox Lady, Hana, whose bloodshot eyes locked onto the Oracle's body.

Gaap's one and only true Covenant Member hated the Oracle with a vengeance.

Her hatred for Maeve was just as strong as Lux's and Hereswith's, and she wanted nothing more than to beat up the hateful woman who orchestrated the hardships of her previous and current Masters.

Hana had unsealed her limiter, allowing her to become a Calamity-Ranked Monster.

Although her strength was only at the Initial Stages of the Calamity Rank, it was more than enough to deal with a Saintess.

Unfortunately, Maeve wasn't an ordinary Saintess.

Just like all Calamity-Ranked Monsters were not equal, all Saints were not equal.

Using her powers of Divination, the Oracle was able to evade all of Hana's attacks as if she were able to see five seconds ahead of time.

No matter what Hana did, she wasn't able to land an attack on Maeve's body, so both of them continued their dogfight in the air.

The Oracle also counter-attacked from time to time, landing blows on Hana's body.

However, the Fox Lady's anger and determination to avenge her Master, Gaap, allowed her to ignore the pain and continue fighting with the same intensity as before.

The battle continued for several minutes until the Oracle noticed a shift in the battlefield.

'Useless fools!' Maeve cursed internally when she noticed that more than half of the fifteen Apostles had been knocked unconscious by the Beast King.

Truth be told, the reason why the Beast King was able to handle so many Pseudo-Supremes at once was not due to his strength.

Although he was powerful, that didn't mean that he could easily overcome fifteen opponents.

The reason why he was able to get the upper hand was due to Lux.

The Half-Elf had ordered some of his Calamity-Ranked Subordinates to help the Beast King.

This gave Dilan the chance to knock out the members of the Divine Army, canceling the effects of their ability.

Seeing that she would soon be outnumbered, Maeve started to feel anxious.

Although she was confident that she could avoid Hana's attacks, she wasn't too optimistic about her chances of escaping from the Beast King's grasp.

She had the ability to predict the future, allowing her to evade the other party's attacks, but the difference in Rank was something that she couldn't overcome so easily.

Also, she wasn't fighting just one opponent.

She had a feeling that Lux would also order his other Calamity-Ranked Beasts to deal with her, and this thought made her feel anxious.

Knowing that time wasn't on her side, Maeve made a bold choice.

She kicked away Hana, sending her flying backward.

After that, she charged in the direction of the Beast King, with the intention of linking her Divination with the Apostles.

This way, they would be able to effectively attack their targets and weaken the Beast King to a certain extent.

Using that opportunity, Maeve would create a crack within the Domain and escape.

Her plan worked wonders, and in just a span of half a minute, the Pseudo-Supremes were able to land hits on the Beast King's body, allowing them to gain the upper hand.

Soon, cracks started to appear in the sky of the Domain, allowing Maeve to see her path of escape.

Seeing that a particularly large chunk of the sky fell, the Oracle instantly took out her artifact and activated it.

But, nothing happened.

The Oracle frowned as she looked at her artifact before repeatedly activating it.

However, the artifact still didn't work.

"What's wrong?" Lux asked in a teasing tone. "Can't escape?"

"… You, what did you do?" Maeve asked.

She was doing her best to prevent her voice from cracking due to her anxiety.

"Oh, nothing much," Lux replied with a devilish smile on his face. "I just asked my subordinates to create a Space Lock inside this place. This is the same strategy you used against me back in the Divine Empire to prevent me from using any teleportation skills. I'm just returning the favor."

The Oracle felt her heart turn cold after hearing Lux's reply.

She had been quite confident that she would be able to pull off this operation well.

She thought that she could finally enslave the Half-Elf, who managed to cheat death in the Divine Empire after Gaap had switched places with him.

Suddenly, three of the Apostles screamed as they were mobbed by the dozens of Calamity-Ranked Monsters that had joined the battle.

Lux was done playing games and had decided to take things seriously.

Without another word, Maeve roared as she flew toward the crack in the sky.

She deftly evaded the Calamity-Ranked Monsters that tried to block her path using the full power of her Divination Ability.

But just as she was about to pass through the crack in the sky, she suddenly found herself standing directly in front of the Half-Elf, who was poised to unleash a Dragon Breath.

She didn't even have time to blink when the raging inferno hit her at point-blank range, making her scream in pain.

When the Dragon Breath receded, the Oracle felt a searing pain, not only in her body but also in her soul.

This otherworldly pain had dulled her senses a bit, preventing her from reacting to Lux's kick that mercilessly hit her abdomen, sending her crashing toward the ground.

The Oracle collided with countless buildings before coming to a complete stop.

All of Lux's attacks were imbued with the power of his Divine Abyssal Touch, which damaged and corrupted the souls of his targets.

This passive ability ignored all types of defense, including defensive artifacts, allowing him to deal True Damage to anything he hit.

Maeve desperately tried to prop herself up, but before she could do that, a foot slammed down on the back of her head, smashing her face into the ground.

Hana shouted in anger as she repeatedly stomped on the Oracle's head, creating an ever-expanding crater, under the Oracle's body.

Maeve's beautiful face was now a bloody mess, and it only became bloodier as the Fox Lady vented her anger and frustration on the woman she wanted to torture for eternity.

It was at that moment that Maeve finally realized that she had made a grave mistake.

The Half-Elf was no longer the powerless individual that they had bullied and hunted down in the past.

The Hunter had now become the hunted.

This realization had come a bit late, and the Oracle of the Divine Army understood with every fiber of her being that her suffering… was just about to begin.
