Finally, three hours later, Lux and company arrived at the Sacred Dungeon's safe zone.

He then asked everyone to rest for an hour to recover their strength, while he talked to his father, Alexander, about the things that happened in the Kingdom of Zangrila.

Lux didn't hide anything, including the new profession that he had upgraded to, as well as becoming the disciple of a Necromancer who was only of the Apostle Rank but able to control Undead Deimos and above Ranked Monsters as if it was nothing.

Alexander listened to the Half-Elf's story with great interest, especially when the red-headed teenager mentioned that he had been to Zangrila.

As a Saint, Alexander liked reading history books in his spare time to get a better understanding of the world.

In one of those ancient tomes, he had read about the Kingdom of Zangrila. According to the book, it was the Kingdom where the first Abyssal Invasion took place, making it a very popular topic among scholars.

Although the distance between the Xynnar War Pact and the Kingdom of Zangrila spanned countless miles, the God of Games, Eriol, made sure that every Temple of the God in Elysium had records of the Abyssal Invasion.

As the God of Elysium, it was his duty to inform his people about the external danger that had come from the Void.

Because of this, the Kingdom of Zangrila became a warning to everyone about what would happen to their own Domains if they didn't take the threat of the Abyssal Race seriously.

"Thank you for telling me this information," Alexander replied. "However, Lux, make sure not to share this with others. Even with Iris and Cai. Although I'm sure that they will keep this secret of yours safe, the fewer people who know of this, the better. "

"I understand." Lux agreed. "Right now, only you and Master Gaap know about my new profession. I will not tell anyone else about it."

"Good," Alexander commented. "Maximilian and I are almost finished with our operation here. We're just examining the ruin we discovered. If our guess is right, this is the reason why the Domain of the Fallen was created in the first place. Let's talk about it more when you finish clearing the Gate of Famine."

"Okay," Lux replied.

After their connection was cut, the Half-Elf glanced at the teenagers who seemed to have recovered their stamina and wits. He decided that it was time to enter the Gate of Famine and see for himself the Monster Outbreak that had annihilated all the members of the expedition on their first attempt.

"Is everyone ready to go?" Lux asked. "If everyone has rested, we will now enter the Gate of Famine."

Prince Cyrus stood up and stretched a bit before voicing his thoughts out loud.

"This time, don't run away again, Half-Elf," Prince Cyrus stated.

Lux ignored Prince Cyrus' taunts because, for him, the Prince of the Vahan Empire was just a second-rate mob character that authors used as cannon fodder in their s.

"Okay, follow me," Lux declared before moving towards the Gate of Famine. "I already know what we are facing, so let me tell all of you this. Whatever happens, don't die, okay?"

The teenagers looked at the Half-Elf as if what he said was a joke.

Of course, none of them wanted to die, but they were going to face Monsters whose Ranks exceeded their own several times.

How could they possibly survive a fight against them?

Lux, who had no idea what they were thinking, placed his palm over the Gate of Famine and turned into particles of light.

Cai quickly moved and was second to enter because she was afraid that Lux would disappear again if she didn't follow him right away.

One by one, the teenagers all entered the Gate of Famine to follow the Half-Elf who seemed to be confident of his chances at victory.

Those left at the Gate of the Fallen, who were watching the projections, also paid close attention to what was waiting for the teenagers on the other side of the Gate of Famine.

The first thing that Lux saw after entering the Gate of Famine was a ruined city. Black smoke was rising in several places, telling the Half-Elf that it hadn't been long since it was attacked.

However, something caught Lux's eyes that made the Half-Elf's expression turn solemn.

On the part of the City Walls that had survived the destruction, a single tattered flag fluttered in the breeze.

Lux was quite familiar with this flag because he had fought under its banner a few times in the past, so it had a special connection to him.

Cai, who had followed the Half-Elf's gaze, also noticed the flag and cried out in alarm.

Keane, Xander, Henrietta, Einar, Val, Malcolm, Nero, and the other teenagers who joined the previous expeditions noticed it as well, making them frown.

"This is not where we first appeared when we entered the Gate of Famine," Henrietta said.

"That's right. We were in the Western Regions of the Zephyr Kingdom when we challenged the Gate for the first time, Jasper commented. "Why are we here?"

No one knew the answer to Jasper's question because they were just as surprised as he was.

Suddenly, a loud shriek reverberated in the sky, making the teenagers look behind them to see what it was.

There, they saw a fifteen-meter-long flying serpent with rainbow-colored wings, accompanied by a dozen Wyverns, who were all of the Deimos Rank.

The Flying Serpent was a Peak-Deimos Ranked World Boss, and the Wyverns were all Deimos-Ranked Alpha Monsters.

If they were only dealing with the Flying Serpent, the teenagers might have stood a chance against it.

However, since it wasn't alone, the first thought that came into their mind was to flee.

The Ambassadors, the Rankers of the Crystal Palace, and the Skystead Alliance watched this scene with amused expressions on their faces.

All of them wanted to see the despair of the teenagers who thought too highly of themselves.

"Who wants to make a bet with me?" one of the Rankers of the Vahan Empire said. "I say that they will all die in ten minutes. Any takers?"

"I'll bet with you," one of the Rankers of the Skystead Alliance replied. "They will last for fifteen minutes."

"Mine is five minutes."

"Twenty minutes tops."

The representatives of the Xynnar War Pact and the Six Kingdoms kept their silence. For them, this wasn't a laughing matter as it directly involved the members of their young generation.

Suddenly, Xander's father, Hector, stepped forward and joined the bet.

"I'll join this betting," Hector declared. "My bet is that they will all survive for fifty million gold coins. Who wants to bet with me?"

"Hahaha! You're throwing away your money just like that?" the Ranker that started the betting game sneered. "Very well, this Daddy will take you on. I won't refuse free gold."

The other members of the Skystead Alliance all cheered and even chipped in to help raise the stakes to fifty million.

Aron laughed at Hector's attempt to boost the morale of their faction in his heart. For him, this was already a done deal, and all that was waiting for the teenagers was a very painful death that would send them back to the entrance of the Gate of the Fallen.

Right after the coins were gathered, they were passed to Piccoro for safekeeping.

The Flying Serpent screeched once again, ordering the Wyverns to attack the teenagers, who had all taken a defensive stance.

Even though they wanted to flee, the Half-Elf, who was their leader, didn't give them any orders.

Lux's gaze locked on the Flying Serpent, disregarding the other monsters escorting it.

"Rise!" Lux ordered as he summoned his Skeleton Gangbangers and Steel Golems.

At first, the members of the different factions thought that Lux would summon strong Monsters to fight against the incoming threat.

But after seeing that the red-headed teenager only summoned hundreds of Rank 4 Monsters, all of their hopes evaporated into thin air.

Eiko, who was perched on top of her Papa's head, also imitated Lux's summons. She already knew what was going to happen next and was very excited about what was about to come.

"Come forth, Hecatoncheires!" Lux ordered, and the hundreds of Skeleton Ganbangers and Steel Golems merged together.

A moment later, four giant Abominations with hundreds of hands and dozens of faces towered above the teenagers, making all of them gasp in shock.

"D-Deimos Ranked summons?!" Prince Cyrus gasped in shock after seeing the giant abominations that appeared out of nowhere.

The Wyverns, whose bloody gazes had locked onto the teenagers earlier, suddenly found themselves being swatted by hundreds of hands, giving them no time to react.

Pained cries spread in the surroundings as some of the Wyverns were smashed into the ground by the merciless strikes that hit them.

The other Wyverns weren't that lucky, because the two Hecatoncheires that belonged to Eiko grabbed these flying monsters from the sky, preventing them from flying away.

The two Hecatoncheires were able to grab three Wyverns each and immediately proceeded to punch and bite them until blood sprayed from their bodies.

Lux shook his head helplessly upon seeing that Eiko had gotten carried away, ordering her Summons to tear their enemies apart.

However, he didn't make any move to stop the Baby Slime. There were still six other Wyverns, so he was fine with letting Eiko have some fun.

The Rankers, who were watching this from outside of the Gate of Fallen, looked at the battle in disbelief.

However, Lux wasn't finished yet.

"Come, Shax," Lux commanded. "I have a job for you."

At that exact moment, a malicious creature suddenly appeared above Lux's head, making the teenagers feel as if their breath had been taken out of their chests.

"Kill the Flying Serpent as cleanly as you can," Lux commanded. "I like how colorful it is. It will be a good addition to my army."

The Nightgaunt, who didn't have a face, flapped its bat-like wings and nodded its head.

A moment later, it disappeared from where it hovered, making the teenagers wonder if what they had seen and felt was just a hallucination.

Suddenly, the Winged Serpent, who had deemed that its subordinates were unable to deal with the four Giant Abominations, descended from the sky to back them up

But before it could even help the Wyverns, the Nightgaunt appeared in front of it with its arms crossed over its chest.

Turning its body to the side, its long spiked tail smashed against the Flying Serpent's head, making the latter cry loudly in pain as it fell from the sky.

The Rankers who were watching the battle through the projections were flabbergasted by the unexpected turn of events, making them wonder if there was something wrong with the projections.

However, this thought didn't last long because all of the projections were showing the exact same thing, proving that what they were seeing was real.

Perhaps the teenagers of the different factions were all thinking of the same thing, so their gazes landed on the Half-Elf's back, making Lux appear on all the projections in the cavern.

As if everything was done deliberately, the Half-Elf slowly turned around and gave the teenagers a devilish smile.

This smile was caught by the artifacts that allowed those outside of the Dungeon to see everything happening in the Gate of Famine in real-time.

"Are you not entertained?" Lux asked in a teasing tone, which made the teenagers and the Rankers who wanted to see him fail shudder subconsciously. "Don't worry. There's more to come."

He had ignored the mocking gazes from the Crystal Palace and the Skystead Alliance when he led the factions of the Six Kingdoms and the Xynnar War Pact inside the Gate of Famine.

They were not aware that in the span of two days, the Half-Elf had gained an Army that was enough to make him an Overlord of a vast swath of territory if he wished for it.

Now that he was inside the Gate of Famine, he no longer felt the need to hold himself back.

He wanted to show the fools who dared to laugh and mock him earlier that they weren't the ones who would decide who would have the last laugh.

No.

Lux would make them understand that the one who would have the last laugh was none other than him.
