Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 434 Mischievous Little Bombardiers

In a place where the adults weren't looking, several baby Slimes huddled together.

Eiko looked at her friends with a smile as she took out several red Beast Cores from her storage bag.

Fei Fei, Cora, Nora, and Cedie looked at the cores in front of them with curious gazes.

"This?" Fei Fei asked as she looked at the Beast Cores that Eiko wanted to give them.

"Boom Boom!" Eiko replied with a mischievous smile.

"Boom?" Cora asked.

"Boom Boom?" Nora tilted her head.

"Boom…" Cedie blinked in confusion.

Eiko nodded. "Boom Boom Boom!"

While their Guild Headquarters was under construction, Eiko spent her time playing with the Bomb Lover, Glee.

The two hit it off right away because Eiko had also developed a fondness for things that exploded. As if finding her soulmate, Glee decided to share dozens of Beast Cores with Eiko, which were all from the same Monster.

The name of the Monster was the Bombardier Gorilla.

The Gorilla was a Rank 4 Monster and lived in mountainous regions, especially near volcanoes.

The thing that made this Monster dangerous was its ability called "Blast Bombs", which was its one and only skill.

This Monster hurled red metallic balls at its enemies which exploded upon impact. These red balls could also be detonated remotely, allowing the Bombardier Gorilla to ambush unwary adventurers and prey, who traveled deep inside its territory.

Wanting to share her hobby, Glee was always on the lookout for like-minded people who had a passion for destroying things using bombs. Because of this, she hunted Bombardier Gorillas on a regular basis, taking their Beast Core, in the hope that she would be able to spread the skill "Blast Bombs" to the people who shared the same hobbies.

Eiko knew that the baby Slimes didn't have any powerful skills that they could use to attack other Monsters.

That was why she decided to share with her friends some of the Beast Cores that were given to her by Glee, which Eiko planned to share with the other Slimes in Leaf Village as well.

Fei Fei, who had long wanted to acquire a strong attacking ability, didn't hesitate and swallowed the Beast Core before chewing it like it was a piece of candy.

After seeing Fei Fei eat the Beast Core, the other Slimes no longer hesitated and ate the Beast Core in front of them.

Since they were the Beast Companions of the members of Heaven's Gate, all of them benefited from the 100% chance to acquire skills through consuming Beast Cores.

While the baby Slimes were chewing the Beast Cores, a shadow descended upon them, which made them all raise their heads at the same time.

"What are you little ones doing?" Cai asked in curiosity. "What are you guys eating?"

"Boom Boom!" Eiko said as she took out a Red Beast Core and rolled it over to Cai's hoof.

"Boom Boom?" Cai tilted its head before looking down on the Beast Core in front of it.

"Un!" Eiko nodded her head.

Cai, who still didn't know what Boom Boom meant, decided to absorb the Beast Core in front of it.

Although the Boar didn't know what Eiko meant, she knew that absorbing the Beast Core wouldn't bring it any harm.

< You have acquired the skill Blast Bombs. >

Out of curiosity, Cai looked at the information of the skill in its Soul Book.

A moment later, loud explosions were heard near the crater, making everyone, who wasn't aware of what was happening, come out of their Guild Headquarters with their weapons drawn.

"What's wrong?! Are we under attack?!" Randolph was one of the first people to emerge from the castle, carrying his war hammer, ready to smash anyone that dared to invade their headquarters.

Lux had also arrived at the scene and was about to summon his Skeleton Army when he noticed that Cai, as well as the baby Slimes, having fun throwing exploding bombs, while riding on top of the shameless boar.

"False alarm, everyone." Lux sighed in relief as he placed his arms over his waist as he looked at the laughing Boar, who was running around the crater while carrying the baby Slimes on its back, who were like small terrorists, throwing bombs in their surroundings and setting off consecutive explosions.

It was the day after the party, and all of them were about to return to their respective duties, leaving only some of the Kobolds behind to mine the mountains around their Guild Headquarters.

Lux, Cai, and Keane would return to Solais and head straight to Wildgarde Stronghold, while Thoram and Keelan would return to the Stronghold of Norria.

Cedwyn, Grandma Annie, the Elders, Bedivere, Lilia, Heidi, Laura, and Livia, would return to Leaf Village as well.

As for Randolph, he decided to stay at the Guild Headquarters to experiment with forging the Draconium Ore that Lux had given him.

The Dwarf said that he wouldn't be able to sit still unless he tried to craft using the rare ore at least once, so Lux decided to let him do as he pleased.

"Cai, we're leaving!" Lux shouted to catch the Boar's attention.

Knowing that their play time was now over, the little Bombardiers that sat on the Boar's back stopped throwing bombs and looked innocently at their owners as if nothing had happened.

Lux knew that this was Eiko's doing because he had seen the baby Slime use the same skill when she was still playing with Glee.

However, since no harm was done, he decided to turn a blind eye to Eiko's mischief and talk to her at a later time about the proper use of explosives.

"Everyone, I'll inform you if something unexpected happens," Lux said as he faced his Guild Members. "If there comes a time that I need everyone's help once again, I will not hesitate to ask."

"Hahaha! As long as we are able to, then we will certainly help," Thoram said. "It has been a while since I gained some stats. Doing office work has made me a little rusty."

"Indeed," Keelan commented. "Handling the paperwork without stretching our muscles is not good in the long run."

Grandma Annie smiled. "As long as it will not break my old bones, I am willing to lend a hand."

"Me as well," Cedwyn declared as if he had regained a second wind, allowing him to return to his youthful glory. "Right now, I feel like I can even fight Dragon Borns."

"Oh really?" Cethus, who was standing not far away, arched an eyebrow. "How about we put your words to the test?"

"It was just a joke, Sir Dragon Born. Doesn't your race have some sense of humor?"

"Tch!"

Cethus clicked his tongue at the old Dwarf and decided to ignore him. When Lux told him that he would be leaving Karshvar Draconis for a month or two, he didn't believe it right away.

Because of this, he decided to keep watch and see for himself if the Half-Elf was really going to leave for a long time, or if he would sneak back inside his Guild Headquarters when the Dragon Born wasn't around.

Since he was tasked to become Lux's observer, he would not allow the Half-Elf to sneak past him. If the red-headed teenager were to cause trouble somewhere in the Dragon Kingdom, the one who would carry the blame was none other than him!

Lux, who was unaware of what Cethus was thinking, bid his goodbye to everyone and stepped into the portal.

His destination was none other than Wildgarde Stronghold, whose coordinates had already been registered in the Teleportation Gate of his Guild Headquarters.
