Chapter 1016 Even In Death, None Of You Will Escape!


    Aurora looked at Lux with a worried expression on her face.


    After learning why the Half-Elf decided to raid the Inner Sanctum of the Pantheon of Exile, she also felt anger toward the Divine Army. They dare call themselves divine, yet they would resort to using an underhanded method like using the young man''s lover as a hostage to force him to appear.


    ''Have they not hurt him enough?'' Aurora bit her lip as she held Lux''s hand. ''Why can''t they just leave him alone? Don''t they have anypassion?''


    For the first time in her life, Aurora wanted nothing more than to ce her Curse of Misfortune on the hateful people who were making the person she loved suffer.


    The Half-Elf didn''t know what Aurora was thinking, and perhaps even if he knew, he wouldn''t care either.


    His gaze was focused on the Cmity-Ranked Monster in front of him who was currently being subjugated by Avernus, the ck Ogre, and the Golden-Eyed Naga.


    The number of Cmity-Ranked Monsters that he had subjugated was nearing a hundred, and there were hundreds more to capture.


    Not all of the Monsters were Demi-Humans, so ckfire couldn''t enve them the same way it did Demi-Human Monsters.


    But Lux didn''t care.


    If the Monsters had a Demi-Human form or could transform into a Human, they would be ckfire''s puppets.


    If not, he would just use his skill, Animate Undead, to make them his subordinates after they had been killed.


    Although it would take a lot of resources to be able to ess the most optimum Monster ss options avable to him, he didn''t care.


    Right now, he intended to take all the monsters inside the Pantheon of Exile and settle the score once and for all.


    Five Supremes?


    So what?


    Pseudo-Supremes?


    He didn''t care!


    Peak-Cmity Ranked Monsters might be weaker than Supremes, but if there were hundreds of them, even Supremes would run for their lives.


    Also, ckfire had informed him that Eiko managed to capture a Supreme, which gave the Half-Elf a pleasant surprise.


    He didn''t know what his Baby Slime was doing, but since she managed to defeat a Supreme, he didn''t need to worry much about her.


    Eiko had dozens of Nuclear-Level st Bombs in her possession, so it was not impossible for her to defeat a Supreme in battle.


    Lux was just surprised that his daughter managed to beat him into enving a Supreme first. Of course, he had noints.


    The stronger his Baby Slime was, the better.


    An unresigned screech spread in the surroundings as the Giant Spider, whom Avernus and his two sidekicks ganged up on, crashed to the ground.


    A few minutester, the monster breathed itsst, and Lux waved his hand to store it inside his Bounty Ring.


    "Aurora, please," Lux said softly.


    The youngdy nodded her head as she reluctantly let go of Lux''s hand to touch the barrier of the cell that was right beside the Giant Spider.


    "C-Can we talk like civilized individuals?" the Cmity-Ranked Monster behind the barrier that Aurora just touched pleaded. "I-I am willing to be your servant. Just don''t kill me."


    It was a five-meter-tall Smander with ck and yellow stripes on its body. It had transformed into a demi-human reptile in an attempt to stop Avernus and his gang from beating him up.


    At this point, all the monsters within the Inner Sanctum were shivering in their prison cells.


    They were powerful monsters in their own right, but in the face of the sadistic Dracolich and his sidekicks, even the strongest monsters wanted to plead for mercy.


    Lux gave the Demi-Reptile a hard and long stare, making the monster feel anxious.


    The barrier in front of him was now littered with cracks, and it would only take a minute at most before it waspletely destroyed.


    "Okay, I will ept you as my servant," Lux stated, which made the Cmity-Ranked Monster sigh in relief.


    The Half-Elf began to draw runes in the air until a magic circle appeared under the Demi-Reptile''s body.


    The monster didn''t move and allowed Lux to finish the Master and Servant contract.


    Taking out a small dagger from his storage ring, the Half-Elf pricked his finger and drew a drop of blood.


    He then casually flicked the drop of blood towards the Magic Circle,pleting the ritual.


    After sensing that the connection was properly established, he ordered the Demi-Human Reptile to join Avernus, the ck Ogre, and the Golden-Eyed Naga to subjugate the rest of hisrades.


    Naturally, the newly converted monster was more than willing to vent out his frustrations after bing the Half-Elf''s servant.


    It was impossible for him to not feel sad about his current situation, but since he didn''t want to unnecessarily feel pain when the oue would never change, he decided to just take the easy way out.


    There was a saying that if you couldn''t beat them, join them.


    The other Monsters were also considering this option as a way to escape being beaten to a pulp.


    But some monsters were simply too prideful.


    They didn''t want to be Lux''s servants, so they decided to kill themselves.


    But this was a very grave miscalction on their part.


    "You think that killing yourselves is the right choice, huh?" Lux sneered. "Let me show you how futile your sacrifices are when facing a Necromancer. Even in death, none of you will escape!"


    As if to set an example, Lux revived the first monster that hadmitted suicide using his skill Animate Undead.


    This monster looked like Living Armor, but instead of metal, its body was made up of crystals.


    Since it was already a High-Ranking Undead Monster, the Half-Elf sacrificed one of the Cmity-Ranked Beast Cores in his possession to get the most optimum option of the Monster sses that were avable.


    Although the chance of sess was only 30% to create the monster he wanted, he still took the gamble. It didn''t matter even if he failed since the other options on the list were good in their own way.


    Fortunately, his gamble paid off, and he acquired a Living Armor whose body was made up of mirrors.


    He named his new subordinate, Kagami, and it retained its Rank as a Peak-Cmity Monster.


    When the Monsters saw this scene, they no longer attempted tomit suicide.


    They understood then and there that regardless of whether they were alive or dead, the Half-Elf would still have his way, one way or the other.


    Now that Avernus'' sidekicks had increased by one, the Monsters could only cry as they waited for their turn to be converted into one of Lux''s subordinates.


    They understood that there was no longer a path of escape left for them, so they all folded and submitted to the Half-Elf, whose gaze was devoid of mercy.
