Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 717 Blaze Of Glory

?

'Sh*t!' Amir cursed internally as he tightly held onto his mount for his dear life. It was like the Black-Crowned Vulture decided that enough was enough, so it began to spin mid-air.

The Vulture intended to shake off the Skeleton Bastard who was punching its back repeatedly as if it was its mortal enemy.

If the Vulture could only speak human language, it would have already screamed, "Why are you punching me?! Punch Amir instead, you bastard!"

Alas, the Black-Crowned Vulture couldn't speak human language, so it could only endure the one-sided beating of the Skeleton Monk on its back.

To make matters worse, three flying Slimes had appeared out of nowhere and began to attack it as well, enraging it completely.

Just as the Black-Crowned Vulture and its Master, Amir, thought that things couldn't get any worse, Eiko and Bomber appeared on the scene, causing the mount and master pair to almost puke blood!

"Eyah!" Eiko spat a barrage of water bullets at the Black-Crowned Vulture's face and body, making it look like a wet duckling.

The Black-Crowned Vulture was a Rank 5 Alpha Monster that was only a step away from becoming a Deimos-Ranked Monster.

However, it still needed ample resources before it could reach that Rank, so for now, it was unable to endure Eiko and her Terrorist Squad's one-sided bombardment.

Although the Black-Crowned Monster couldn't speak, it was smart enough to identify Eiko as the Master of the summoned creatures.

Amir shared the same opinion as his Beast Companion, so both of them decided to focus their attacks on the Baby Slime, who was riding on what seemed to be a floating ball made up of bones with two arms and hands coming out from its sides.

With a scream of rage, the Black-Crowned Vulture flapped its wings and flew towards Eiko like an arrow that had been released from its bow.

Instead of being afraid, Eiko smiled fearlessly before opening her little mouth.

"Transcendent Breath!"

Currently, her Papa was out of her range, so she was unable to use her Mimicry ability on him. Even so, Eiko now possessed her own flames, allowing her to unleash a breath attack of purple flames that had the power to burn someone's mana.

Everyone in Elysium and Solais had mana in their bodies whether they were magicians or not.

No matter how little it was, mana was still mana, so Eiko's breath attack still triggered its effect, causing the Black-Crowned Vulture and Amir to feel a world of pain.

Even so, they endured it all and broke through Eiko's Breath Attack intending to deal the Baby Slime a lethal blow.

However, when they were only a meter away from the target, Eiko's body glowed briefly before disappearing completely.

Eiko had the blink ability, which allowed her to instantly teleport several meters from her location.

Now that its Master was not nearby, Bomber activated its ability which was none other than Self-Destruct, exploding right in front of the Black-Crowned Vulture's face!

The powerful explosion, which was like the booming of thunder, reverberated in the heavens.

The explosion was so loud that it was heard all the way to Wisp Tree Town, making everyone take notice of the battle that was happening in the sky.

Eiko, who had teleported away, hovered a good distance away from the explosion.

After consuming numerous Beast Cores, she had gained the ability to use Air Strider [EX] and Levitate [EX], giving her the ability to fight in the sky, similar to a flying ability if needed.

The Black-Crowned Vulture, who had somehow endured the attack, was now struggling to stay in the air.

It no longer flapped its mighty wings and simply glided in the air, trying to flee from the crazy battle junkie who could summon suicide bombers.

But it had forgotten something very important.

The Skeleton Monk, Bam, was still on its back!

"N-No!" Amir cried out in panic when he saw the Skeleton Monk raise his hand high in the air, wrapping it in a fiery blaze.

"Dynamite Punch!" Bam shouted as he smashed his blazing fist against the Black-Crowned Vulture's back, creating another powerful explosion, blowing Amir out of his mount's back.

Fortunately, Amir had thrown a grappling hook around his Beast Companion's claws, allowing him to hang on for his dear life.

But his relief was short-lived.

The Black-Crowned Vulture shrieked one last time before it lost consciousness and went into a freefall.

Eiko and her Slime Squad all dove down from the sky, like Battle Angels about to deliver the Coup de Grace to the Blonde Assassin who tried to kidnap her close friend, Colette, right in front of her.

Amir gritted his teeth as he prepared for a rough landing.

When the Black-Crowned Vulture was only dozens of meters above ground, the Blonde Assassin let go of his grappling hook and activated an artifact that would allow him to briefly hover above the ground.

With a resounding crash, the Black-Crowned Vulture smashed into the ground, creating a small crater.

Even someone as strong as it was unable to survive the freefall.

It died the moment its head smashed into the ground.

Amir knew that he wasn't safe yet, so upon landing on the ground, he immediately began to sprint toward the forest in the distance.

As long as he could reach the forest, he was confident that he would be able to hide from his pursuers.

But before he could entertain this thought, he saw a flash of light that only lasted for a brief moment appear dozens of meters in front of him.

When the light faded, the familiar Baby Blue Slime appeared, which made the Blonde Assassin roar in anger.

"Die!" Amir shouted as he took out his dagger that would kill the little troublemaker who had gotten in the way of his mission's completion.

Eiko didn't back away and once again opened her mouth.

However, this time, instead of a Dragon's Breath, she spat out a Bone Cannonball that was nearly as big as Bomber.

Whenever Eiko was free, she would spend her time creating Blast Bombs, which she would encase inside a Bone Cannonball.

Although the bomb she took out was only two meters tall, unlike the one that Asmodeus had used to bomb the Royal Palace of the Haca Dynasty, it was still strong enough to instantly kill dozens of Rank 4 Monsters in one hit.

"Boom Boom Bakugan!"

In a flash, the Skeleton Cannonball flew toward Amir, giving the latter no time to dodge.

Thinking that he could just slice the Skeleton Cannonball in half, Amir used a killing blow that could instantly sever a head off from a person's body.

His attack had the intended effect, and he succeeded in cutting the Skeleton Cannonball in half.

At that exact moment, time seemed to move incredibly slowly, allowing Amir's gaze to land on the Baby Blue Slime, who was also looking at him with a devilish smile on her face.

The two stared at each other for what seemed an eternity before the Blonde Assassin saw Eiko's lips move, saying a word that he didn't understand.

Even so, he heard it as clearly as if the baby slime was whispering in his ears.

"F*cker."

That was the last thing that Amir heard before all of the blast bombs that were encased inside the Skeleton Cannonball blew up, engulfing his entire body in a blaze of glory.
