Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1128 Bittersweet Reunion [Part 2]

Zane and Zeke started to unleash an aura of death toward the sky, making all the birds that were targeting Aurora fly away in fear.

Their two Masters had just reunited with each other, and anyone who would dare to try messing with them was the enemies of the two little skeletons.

"Tell me about everything that happened while I was gone," Lux said softly as he held Aurora in a loving embrace.

Aurora nodded and began her tale about the events that transpired after Lux was sealed in a block of crystal.

She told him how scared she was when she realized that Iris, Cai, and a few of her sisters had completely forgotten about him.

She told him about the destruction that the Abyssal Army had caused to the world of Elysium, and how the Factions of the world were resisting their expansion.

After she finished talking, Lux gave her a bottle of water that she could drink to quench her thirst.

"Currently, Agartha is the only Kingdom left untouched by the war that is happening on the surface," Aurora stated. "But my Father has never lowered his guard and commanded our armies to remain vigilant. He had also placed several scouts on the surface to monitor the movement of the Abyssal Lords."

Lux nodded his head in approval after hearing that the King of Agartha wasn't taking the Abyssal Invasion lightly.

"What about you?" Aurora asked. "Are you hurt anywhere? I really thought that you had died. If not for the fact that Zane and Zeke told me that there was still a chance for you to recover, I might have really thought that you were gone for good."

Lux smiled bitterly before telling Aurora everything that happened to him while he was trapped inside the block of crystal.

Aurora was quite surprised when she learned about Luna, who was apparently Aina's sister in her past life.

"Fate is truly mysterious," Aurora muttered. "But I'm glad that you were able to get back. Are you planning to meet Aina soon?"

Lux nodded. "Yes. I plan to tell her about her sister. Also, I need to find a way for Iris, Cai, Valerie, and Ali, to regain their memories of me. Seeing them like this is very painful."

The young lady lightly rubbed Lux's back as she rested her head on his shoulder.

"Don't worry," Aurora assured him. "I'm sure there is a way to make them remember."

The two didn't say anything after that and simply embraced each other, feeling each other's warmth, reaffirming to themselves that this wasn't a dream and that the two of them really were together again.

"What are your plans?" Aurora finally took the initiative to break the silence.

"… Truth be told, I'm at a loss at what to do," Lux replied. "I was taken by Asmodeus to Espoir Frieden in order to ask my Grandmaster for help. She then took me to the World Tree, and I spent a few weeks there to recover."

Lux then unleashed the power of his Rank, making Aurora's eyes widen in shock.

"You're now a Saint?" Aurora looked at her lover in disbelief.

"Yes," Lux replied. "But being a Saint won't bring their memories back. I'd gladly return to my previous Rank if that would bring back everyone's memories of me."

Aurora didn't say anything and pondered for a bit. After she organized her thoughts, she cupped Lux's face and looked at him with a solemn expression on her face.

"Don't say that," Aurora stated. "Right now, everyone needs to be strong to face the calamity that has fallen on both worlds. Currently, the Six Kingdoms are cut off from the rest of Solais due to the miasma that is preventing anyone from leaving it.

"This is also a blessing in disguise since the Abyssal Lords are also unable to go to this place. Even they are not fully immune to Miasma. Right now, we should prioritize eliminating the Abyssal Lords who were able to cross over to the two worlds. As long as they are here, the people will continue to suffer from their whims."

"Perhaps after the immediate threat is eliminated, we will be able to focus our attention on finding a cure to bring back my sisters' memories. You mentioned the Pillars of Eternity in the past. Maybe these Pillars have the power to restore their memories as well, so don't lose hope, okay?"

"Right," Lux replied as hope returned to his eyes. "I forgot about the Pillars of Eternity. They have the power to bend the laws of the world. With them, we might be able to restore their memories."

Aurora nodded. "But before that, we still need to meet your father at Barbatos Academy. He and Sir Maximilian have retained their memories. I'm sure they have a lot of things that they would like to tell you."

The Half-Elf reluctantly nodded his head, knowing that Aurora was right. Although it would be quite painful to see his two fiances, who had no memories of him, he still needed to talk to his Father and Cai's Grandfather about their progress in the Fynn Kingdom.

"Don't worry," Aurora said as she held Lux's hands. "Until the day they regain their memories, I will not leave your side. I will support you with everything I have, so raise your head, and never lose your way. Only by moving forward can we change things for the better."

Lux smiled before kissing Aurora's forehead.

"You've gotten a lot better at speaking after a year," Lux commented in a teasing tone. "I wonder, did anything else change?"

Aurora stuck her tongue at the Half-Elf, who was looking at her with a mischievous smile on his face.

"You'll know about the changes that happened to me tonight," Aurora said. "I'll let you inspect every nook and cranny of my body, so behave for now."

Lux knew that Aurora was doing her best to make him temporarily forget about the pain he was feeling, which he greatly appreciated.

He then stood up and held her like a princess while looking at the academy in the distance.

"Aurora, please don't leave my side like you promised," Lux said. "I might not be able to take it if I lose you as well."

"I will not be going anywhere, I promise," Aurora replied. "So, let's go, Lux. We cannot change anything by standing still."

The Half-Elf nodded and opened the Draconic Wings behind his back.

Their next destination was Barbatos Academy.

The place where he had made many wonderful memories, which he kept in the deepest corners of his heart.
