295 The Greater The Danger, The Greater The Reward
Right after they were teleported back to the entrance of the Death Gate, Lux, Cai, Keane, Einar, Vall, and Xander, decided to rest for the ti being.
All of them had received great rewards from the battle, and they needed to sort them out first, before planning on what to do next.
Out of all of them, Lux was the one that gained the most. The reason? Because he was not the only one who received rewards from the Dungeon. All of his Nad Creatures, as well as his Summoning Spells, had gained a boost after clearing the Gate of Death.

Aside from unlocking his Nad Creatures' profession upgrades, the number of each type of Skeleton minion that Lux could summon increased by ten.
This ant that he was now able to summon 45 Skeleton Fighters, 40 Skeleton Grand Archers, and 10 Skeleton Mages.
Not only that, he also acquired two Necromancer skills, naly "Animate Undead", and the unique skill "Skeleton Make".
"The saying 'The greater the danger, the greater the reward' is true,' Lux thought. 'Not only did we get the Sacred White Lotus, we also got so great bonuses as well.'
Lux had received two quests when he entered the Sacred Dungeon.
The first one was the mission, Flower of Death, and the second one was the mission, Return of the Kings.
The Half-Elf had gotten generous rewards after clearing these two missions. For now, he decided to focus on the current agenda and upgrade his Nad Creatures in order to make them stronger.
"Death Knight, Undead Paladin, and Doom Knight," Lux muttered as he gazed at the information of the three upgrades for his first Nad Creature, Diablo.
Death Knights were powerful Undeads that were very efficient in fighting alone, or commanding an army of skeleton warriors, Liches, Banshees, and other types of Undead. One of its special skills was the ability to heal itself during battle, which made it a very annoying foe to fight.
They could also ride Nightmares in battle, making them look like an emissary that ca from the deepest part of Hell to bring ruin to the world of the living.
In short, Death Knights were quite balanced classes because of their all-rounder set of skills and abilities, which allowed them to fight both alone or with groups, making them a tough opponent to face on the battlefield.
Undead Paladins, on the other hand, were supposed to be Paladins that died in battle. However, due to their unwavering faith, so of them rose up from the dead and beca Undead Paladins. They were different from those who were forcefully revived and were left to serve as an Undying Warrior for powerful creatures such as Liches.
An Undead Paladin was a force to reckon with on the battlefield not only because they were able to fight proficiently, but also because they had the ability to heal their allies using Negative Energy.
Also, if the Paladin was a true devotee when he was still alive, the God he served would still allow them to use the Divine Powers within their body to smite their foes, whether they be the living or the dead.
Lastly, the Doom Knight.
If the Death Knight was an all rounder—an Undead Paladin and a Healer Warrior—the Doom Knight was a profession that was only made for one thing, and that was to kill.
Their sole purpose was to inflict fear and death to their foes as they used brute force to trample anything and everything that stood in their way.
The Doom Knights were proficient in both might and magic, allowing them to wield their weapons effectively in battle and use spells that would weaken, cripple, or even drain the essence of their enemies, over a period of ti.
All three choices were good, but Lux was leaning more on the Death Knight because he had always thought of Diablo as his right-hand-man, who would command his mighty Undead Army to battle.
After several more minutes, Lux made up his mind and chose Death Knight as Diablo's next profession, giving his first Nad Creature, a major boost in his stats.

Lux sighed after seeing the increase in Diablo's stats. He was reminded that he had co really far in his journey in Elysium.
The weak and always fainting Half-Elf back then was now gone. He was replaced by the Champion of the Lionheart Tournant and a Necromancer that reigned over a hundred Undead, who would fight with a single command from his lips.
'This is only the beginning,' Lux mused as he flipped the page of his Soul Book to look at his second Nad Creature, Ishtar. 'Let's all get stronger, everyone. Our journey in this world is far from over.'
With a determined look on his face, Lux chose the professions which he believed were the best choices for his current line-up.
The Half-Elf busied himself in updating his Soul Book, unaware that outside of the Sacred Dungeon, his na, along with the nas of his comrades, were being broadcasted for everyone to hear.

< The Gate of Death (Hell Mode) has been conquered! >
< One of the Five Gates has been successfully conquered! >
< The Conquerors will be allowed to freely enter the Domain of the Fallen for an entire year at any given ti, as their right as the First Conquerors! >
< Announcing the nas of the Conquerors of the Sacred Dungeon in no particular order! >

Lux was unaware that their nas had also been engraved on the Gate that led to the Hidden Domain, whose real na was Domain of the Fallen, and were all shining in golden lettering that would be immortalized for eternity.
The Barbarians, the mbers of the Rowan Tribe, and Vall's Guild mbers, who had all respawned outside of the Giant Gate of the Hidden Domain, all cheered as they shouted and hugged each other in happiness.
Those who were not part of their group and had also died inside the Sacred Dungeon, looked at the faces of the mbers of the three factions with respect and admiration.
Naturally, there was also envy and jealousy mixed in, but in general, they felt reinvigorated.
Now that one of the Gates of the Sacred Dungeon had been captured, everyone believed that it was only a matter of ti before the other Gates were conquered as well… or so they thought.
