The Prince of Heaven's Gate - Last Stand At World's End

Chapter 74 Mission Completion

A blood curdling screech reverberated across the Monster Nest as the Ash Wing Mosquito went berserk. This was its last resort to kill Lux and his skeletons that had backed it into a corner.

Lux panted as he distanced himself from the monster who was nearing its end. Although his health and mana was still full, the mental exhaustion he received from fighting the Dwarf and commanding his Skeletons piled up and took a toll on his body.

Diablo and the Skeleton Fighters had died plenty of times because Lux had ordered them to do suicide attacks, with the intention of cutting of the monster’s legs, to prevent it from moving around.

In the end, they succeeded, and only one leg remained on the Diabolical Beast’s body. And even though it had entered a berserked state, the only thing it could do was glare at Lux and his skeletons while helplessly accepting their beating.

The red-headed teenager did his best to calm his breathing as he stared at the dying monster in front of him. He was quite thankful that the Dwarf had been forced to make the monster be born prematurely, which rendered all of its fighting abilities incomplete.

Without wings to fly, it was no different from a stationary target that the Skeletons, whom the Half-Elf could summon over and over again, could beat up.

Five minutes later, the crimson eyes of the three headed Abomination, which glared hatefully at them, eventually lost their luster and turned dim. The Abomination’s body collapsed on the ground, dead.

Lux didn’t move from his spot until he heard the notification which said that his mission had successfully been completed. Several words appeared in front of him, congratulating him on his victory against the Diabolical Monster.

< Option 1: Hell Horse >

– A hellish creature known for its cruelty as it terrorizes its victims until they draw their last breath.

< Option 2: Golden Token of Gweliven >

– It is said that if you present this Token to the reigning King of the Kingdom, you will be given the title of “Honorary Knight”, which would give you certain benefits within the Dwarf Kingdom.

< Option 3: Monster Egg >

– An unknown monster egg, which you can hatch at the nearest bestiary near you.

– Depending on your luck, the Monsters that could be born from the egg can be Common Monsters, Rare Monsters, Unique Monsters, Mythical Monsters, or Legendary Monsters.

< Option 4: Teleport Scroll 4 Pieces. >

– This scroll will directly send you to any places that you have visited, regardless of the restrictions that were set in place.

– For example, if you have become an Apostle or a High Ranker and you wish to return to the Leaf Village, using this scroll will allow you to return without suffering any backlash from the restrictions.

– If you want to bully children, this is the perfect item to satisfy your sadistic desires.

Lux whistled after seeing the list of Bonus Rewards that he could choose from after completing the mission. Although each option was good and picking one of them now was tempting, the Half-Elf decided to set it aside for now because he was still not safe from danger.

The first thing Lux did was to take the Beast Core out from the dead Monster’s body, before storing the body inside his Enchanted Beast Ring, which was capable of storing the corpses of any monster regardless of their size.

After safely storing his prize, Lux hurriedly ran towards the hole that his friend, Speedy, had made. Surprisingly, the Silver Ant was still by the time he arrived, as if waiting to carry the Half-Elf for the return trip back inside their Ant Nest.

Lux didn’t hesitate and mounted the Silver Ant’s back, which was almost a meter and a half tall. Just as Speedy entered the underground tunnel that it had temporarily made along the way, the red-headed teenager heard the buzzing sounds of thousands of wings.

The Half-Elf breathed a sigh of relief at the thought of.their very timely escape out of the monster nest. Even though Diablo, Ishtar, and the rest of his Skeletons were strong, they were still not a match against the thousands of Mosquitoes that had been looking for them for several hours in the Figaro Gardens.

Several hours later inside Leaf Village…

“Are you sure about this?” the Village Head of Leaf Village, Cedwyn, asked.

“Yes,” Lux replied. “If not, I wouldn’t have asked Master Randolph to call all of you out in the middle of the night.”

Cedwyn’s eyes narrowed as he looked down at the tied-up dwarf who was laying on the floor. The Elders of the village, as well as Boreas, the Captain of the Riders of Norria who were stationed in the village, were also present in the scene.

All the Dwarves had grim expressions on their faces as they gazed at the unconscious man.

“Do you have any other proof?” Boreas asked. “Cedwyn has already passed the documents to me, but this can be forged easily. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I’m doubting you. But for something major like this, I need more concrete proof before I can report this to my superior.”

Lux nodded his head in understanding. “I have proof, but it will not fit this place. Let’s go outside.”

The Half-Elf didn’t wait for the Dwarf’s reply before leaving the room.

Boreas signaled for two of his men to watch the unconscious Dwarf before following behind Lux. Cedwyn, Randolph, and the other Elders of the village also followed the red-headed teeanager outside the house.

They were very curious about what kind of proof Lux would present to them, so that they would be convinced that he was telling them the truth.

Only Randolph, who was Lux’s Blacksmith Master, had a smug smile on his face. He had already seen the Ash Wing, which had given him a fright. He and Lux were confident that after everyone had seen the corpse of the Beast, they would understand that Leaf Village had survived a close call due to Lux’s intervention.
