Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate Chapter 1234 After Story: Open Heaven’s Gate!
Previously on Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate...
Randolph strode anxiously back and forth, overwhelmed by intense nervousness.
This day was one he had longed for throughout his entire existence.
A few hours earlier upon waking, he believed it was merely a dream. Yet, after verifying its reality, no amount of effort could settle his racing thoughts.
'What if she's changed her mind?' Randolph pondered while pacing relentlessly. 'What would I do in that case?'
Witnessing Randolph's endless pacing, Cedwyn—the Mayor of Leaf Town and a close companion to both Randolph and Annie—let out a heavy sigh.
"Get a grip, man," Cedwyn declared. "If you're getting cold feet, I don't mind swapping places with you today."
"F*ck off, Cedwyn!" Randolph snapped out of his fretting and shot a fierce glare at his buddy. "I know you've been simping for Annie for the past century. Stay away, or I'll clobber you!"
"So what if I've been simping for her for the past century?" Cedwyn retorted sharply. "She doesn't deserve a fool like you. Even now, I can't see what she saw in you that I lacked. Oh, right—maybe she has a weakness for idiots, the hopeless types who can't even tie their own shoes."
"You, Simp! Get out of here!"
"Bastard! Stop calling me Simp!"
"You wanna fight?!"
"Who's afraid of who?! Let's go!"
Neither Randolph nor Cedwyn held back as they lunged into a fierce wrestle.
The Dwarves observing from nearby threw their hands up and roared in excitement.
"""Fight!"""
"""Fight!"""
"""Fight!"""
Total chaos erupted as the groom and his best man brawled right before a massive crowd.
"Aren't you going to stop them?" Gaap questioned Lux, who stood next to him as his best man.
"Nah," Lux answered. "It's better this way."
Cethus, dressed in a sharp suit, ignored everyone around him, mirroring Randolph's deep anxiety.
Never had he felt such overwhelming nerves, not even during the clash with Daniel. Right now, escape seemed like the only option, vanishing without a trace.
Only Gerhart's presence beside him, also suited up, kept the Dragon Born rooted in place.
He refused to give the green-haired Half-Elf any future leverage, so he fixed his gaze on the ground, enduring until the ceremony concluded.
Sid remained rigid like a blade, unaffected by the surrounding mayhem. Yet inwardly, he shared the same jitters as Randolph and Cethus over committing to their lifelong partners. Alexander, positioned at the altar's front, exuded the utmost calm among them.
To him, such an occasion held little weight. Still, the sight of these young men's anxiety brought a secret smile to his heart.
Abruptly, the orchestra Lux had hired began playing softly in the background.
The Half-Elf had brought in a renowned Earth singer to perform "Perfect" during the wedding, ensuring the brides' aisle walk became utterly unforgettable.
Leading as flower girls, Eiko, Fei Fei, Laura, and Livia sprinkled petals along the path ahead.
Immediately following, Hereswith glided forward in her pristine white wedding gown.
Spotting his bride, Gaap's face lit up with a genuine smile—he had adored her since first sight.
The day she rescued him as a child marked the instant he fell deeply in love.
Despite the years, his devotion never wavered.
That's why, after her passing, he channeled his all—including his very soul—into vengeance. It was the sole tribute he could offer the woman he treasured for so long.
Trailing Hereswith came Alicia.
After countless trials, her love had blossomed at last. Dying by Daniel's hand alongside Alexander might have been a blessing in disguise.
It freed them to embrace life fully, without regrets, stepping forward united in matrimony.
Next walked Emma.
No one, Lux included, foresaw her romance with Cethus.
Heaven's Gate members had cornered her, poised to thrash the Dragon Born if he coerced her.
Shockingly, Emma stood up for Cethus, insisting no force was involved—they simply enjoyed each other's presence, and affection bloomed organically soon after.
General Garret's daughters, Alexa and Emily, followed Emma.
Both were set to wed Gerhart, who earned their father's blessing through a fierce duel between them.
Lux had witnessed it all, the brutal clash where neither restrained themselves. Though fierce, Gerhart eked out a narrow victory, securing Garret's respect.
Scarlet advanced behind the sisters.
Years back, she was the assassin assigned to kill Lux and Sid.
Revived by Blackfire post-war, she and Sid chose to deepen their bond.
Hearing of Randolph and Annie's nuptials, they approached Lux to wed as well.
Thrilled, the Half-Elf saw it as a chance to unite six couples at once.
He persuaded his Masters Gaap and Randolph, his father Alexander, and Cethus for a massive joint ceremony.
Convincing them took great effort, but one agreement sparked the rest.
A grin spread across the Half-Elf's face as the final bride approached the aisle.
Grandma Annie, now rejuvenated into a stunning young woman with a fresh lease on life.
Lux had reversed her age, along with Randolph's and Leaf Town's Elders. With no obstacles left, the grooms grasped their brides' hands at the altar.
James officiated, as he had for Lux's own wedding.
Unlike the Half-Elf's extravagant affair, this one scaled smaller.
Yet it rivaled in splendor, thanks to Lux's meticulous arrangements.
He spared no expense, summoning Earth's top experts to craft an epic memory.
As the vows concluded, a profound satisfaction washed over him—his loved ones now embarking on eternal journeys with their soulmates, just like him.
Hours later, the Half-Elf sipped wine lightly while conversing with another red-haired Half-Elf at their shared table.
"Did you get the invitation?" William inquired, eyeing the youth opposite him.
"I did," Lux responded. "Did you receive one too?"
"Mmm." William nodded, pulling out the missive delivered yesterday.
"The Sentinels," Lux noted, retrieving his own letter. "And we're to confront Planetary Level Threats?"
"Mmm." William murmured. "That's what the letter states, at least."
The documents bore signatures, though the sender stayed nameless.
They knew only that accepting Sentinel membership would bring further instructions.
Above all, authenticity was confirmed by the Temple of the Ten Thousand Gods' deities, who recognized the originator.
Lux and William understood the Gods couldn't intervene directly—only non-divine powers like theirs could tackle planet-destroying perils.
"So, are you joining?" William probed.
"Why not?" Lux shrugged. "You?"
"I'm in as well," William confirmed.
Their joint acceptance summoned a glowing orb before the two Half-Elves.
"Thank you for accepting the invitation to join The Sentinels," an androgynous voice echoed from it. "Before detailing the organization, any questions?"
Lux and William exchanged looks before the Necromancer spoke.
"Are there others you've invited besides us?" Lux asked.
"I intend to invite two more," the orb's voice answered. "But their battles rage on. Their Epic tales remain unfinished. Only upon triumph will they enter our Ranks."
"And who might they be?" William pressed.
Curiosity burned about these potential comrades.
"Names and faces suffice?" the voice queried.
"Yes," William affirmed.
Instantly, the orb projected two images of young men.
The Half-Elves recognized one, eliciting varied responses.
Lux beamed with endorsement at Thirteen's image, welcoming him eagerly.
Despite lesser strength, the youth promised entertaining times.
William grimaced as if swallowing a bug—Thirteen irked him, pursuing one daughter relentlessly, whom he itched to crush. Shifting from Thirteen, their eyes locked on the blue-haired warrior battling a colossus. Unfamiliar, he piqued their intrigue.
"Should these two survive and forge their Legendary Sagas, they shall join The Sentinels' Ranks," the voice proclaimed. "Their names are…
"Zion Leventis and Ethan Gremory."
Hearing the names, Heaven's Necromancer drained his wine and rose smiling.
"Done already?" William queried.
"Yes," Lux said, eyes on the black-haired, green-eyed fighter in turmoil. "I aim to settle a debt."
Without pause, Lux vanished from sight, materializing by the Bifrost Bridge.
His tale may have closed, yet a grander epic now dawned.
Lux thrust his hand skyward, grinning boldly at the abyss.
"Open… Heaven's Gate!"
