Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

After leaving Elysium, Lux, Cai, Keane, and Henriettta, headed back to Barbatos Academy, where an excited Iris waited for them at the entrance.

Naturally, the first one to get hugged by the blue-haired beauty was none other than Cai, who immediately charged forward as soon as she saw Iris waving at them from a distance.

"It seems that she missed you very much," Henrietta whispered in Lux's ears. "She couldn't even wait for us to enter the gates and met us outside of it instead. Go easy on her tonight, okay?"

Lux pretended that he didn't hear Henrietta's last words and simply walked towards his fiance with a smile on his face.

Eiko had already jumped off Lux's head and ran towards Iris, jumping into her Mama's open arms.

"I missed you so much, Eiko," Iris said before kissing the baby slime, who happily kissed her back. "Did you miss me too?"

"Ma!" Eiko replied before nuzzling Iris, which made the latter giggle.

Lux, who didn't want to get in the way of Eiko's reunion with Iris, walked towards Alicia and asked her a few questions, especially if they had seen everything that had happened inside the Sacred Dungeon through Henrietta's eyes.

"You did well," Alicia stated. "I didn't know that you were hiding so many secrets. For a moment, I thought I was looking at a different person."

"Keep those secrets as secrets," Lux reminded the beautiful Secretary. "This Dungeon expedition was incredibly difficult, so I was forced to show a few of my Trump Cards."

Alicia nodded in understanding. Although it was only for a brief moment, she saw the Crystal Dragon appear on the skies of the battlefield.

If not for the fact that Henrietta was being attacked and had no time to look at Lux's ongoing battle with Nero, they might have witnessed more things that they hadn't seen before.

In fact, the Headmaster of Barbatos Academy was very curious about how Lux fought against a Ranker despite being a mere Grade A Apostle, surviving the ordeal unscathed.

He was also very curious about how the Half-Elf fought against Nero, who for some unknown reason had managed to temporarily become a Ranker, and still managed to win.

Henrietta wasn't there when the Half-Elf fought against General Revon and only knew about it later when Lux went to look for Henrietta to ask the latter to take care of Cai in his stead.

The Guildmaster of the Serenity Guild only saw Keoza's appearance when Lux had summoned the Crystal Dragon because he had finally decided that enough was enough.

"The Headmaster knows that you will be busy today, so he ordered me to tell you to go find him tomorrow," Alicia said before walking towards Henrietta in order to discuss a few important things that happened in her Guild, Serenity, while she was away.

Serenity was the subsidiary guild of Barbatos Academy in Elysium, and only the elite members of the Academy were able to join it.

Lux then felt a longing gaze, piercing him from the side, so he turned his head to look at his beautiful fiance, who was now pouting.

"I'm back, Iris," Lux said before heading towards his fiance with a mischievous smile on his face. "Did you miss me?"

"I missed Eiko more than I missed you," Iris replied.

The Half-Elf smirked before moving closer to whisper something in Iris' ear.

"I'll make sure you don't get any sleep tonight," Lux whispered.

Immediately, a faint blush appeared on Iris' face before she playfully pounded on the Half-Elf's chest to vent out her frustration.

"Um, can you put aside the PDA for now?" Cai said with a snort. "It's still bright, and people are looking at us. Wait until both of you are in a room, okay?"

The Boar's reminder made the blush on Iris' face deepen, leading to her pushing Lux away before inviting Cai to enter the gates of the Academy.

Lux, who had been pushed away, only chuckled because he found Iris' reaction quite cute. For the time being, he decided to stop teasing his fiance out in broad daylight.

He would just wait until the two of them were alone together before showering her with his love.

Iris led Lux, Cai, and Keane to her private residence inside the Academy where only a select few people could enter.

Henrietta accompanied Alicia to report to the Headmaster's Office, so she wasn't able to be with everyone for the time being. She had many responsibilities and reporting her impression of what happened inside the Sacred Dungeon to the Headmaster was one of them.

When they entered Iris' personal residence in Barbatos Academy, Lux and Keane sat on the sofa, while Iris took Cai to her bedroom to talk about a few things.

Eiko and Fei Fei stayed behind because Iris wanted to talk to Cai in private.

Eiko, who was left with her Papa, suddenly got an idea and crawled up on Lux's leg to ask him for a few things.

"Pa!" Eiko said as she looked at the Half-Elf with a sweet smile on her face.

Lux smiled and patted Eiko's head, making the latter giggle. Both of them shared a strong connection with each other, so the Baby Slime was able to transmit her thoughts to the Half-Elf without saying anything.

"You want some Beast Cores?" Lux asked.

"Pa!" Eiko nodded. "Deimos!"

"Deimos Ranked Beast Cores?" Lux blinked as he looked at the Baby Slime who nodded her head firmly.

After giving it some thought, Lux nodded his head and took out the ten Deimos Cores that he received as a reward from the "War of the Lions" Quest inside the Gate of Conquest.

Ten Beast Cores, which were all as big as Eiko, were placed on the carpeted floor, making the Baby Slime very happy.

"You can choose only one, okay?" Lux said. "I will use the others for my experiments."

"Pa!" Eiko replied, and immediately looked at the Beast Cores one by one, as if reading their information.

Lux didn't know whether Eiko was able to read the information of each Beast Core, but since the Baby Slime had a serious expression on her face, he became curious about what Eiko was planning to do.

Several minutes later, Eiko chose a bright-red Beast Core among the ten, leaving the others behind.

As Lux retrieved the remaining Beast Cores, the Baby Slime did something that he hadn't seen before.

A skeleton bowl, which was at least two-meters wide, appeared in front of Eiko.

Suddenly, a voice, whose gender couldn't be identified by Lux, spoke inside the room.

—----------

< Greetings! Do you wish to Generate a Random Skeleton Creature? >

< Yes / No >

—--------

"Un!" Eiko replied as she crawled up the edge of the Skeleton Bowl, overlooking the pitch-black darkness at its center with a smile.

It didn't take long for Lux to realize that Eiko had copied his skill, Skeleton Generator [EX] and had decided to play with it.

—--------

< In order to create a Random Skeleton Specie, you will have to sacrifice materials for fusion. Take note that none of the items you are going to use can be refunded. Do you accept this condition? >

"Yes!" Eiko answered.

< A minimum of two materials can be used for fusion. The Maximum number of materials you can add to the Skeleton Generator is a hundred materials. Do you wish to create your Skeleton now? >

"Un!" Eiko nodded.

< Take note that there is a possibility of having an accident while fusing. Sometimes, the Skeleton Specie that you will generate from this accident is exceptionally weak or could be exceptionally strong. >

< You can now throw the materials inside the Skeleton Bowl to start the fusion! >

"Okay!" Eiko then tossed the red Deimos-Ranked Beast Core inside the Skeleton Bowl as the first fusion material.

A second later, she took out another red Beast Core, which was smaller than the first one she had, and threw it inside the Skeleton Bowl, which had now started to give off a faint light.

The second Beast Core that Eiko threw was none other than the Beast Core from the Bombardier Gorilla, which had been given to her by Glee, which allowed the baby slime to learn the skill, Blast Bomb [EX].

After throwing the two Beast Cores in, Eiko summoned a red-steel ball and happily tossed it inside the Skeleton Bowl as a fusion material.

Fei Fei, who was watching her best friend, found this amusing, so she joined Eiko in throwing Blast Bombs inside the Bowl, making Lux's expression look like he was constipated.

Soon, the two Baby Slimes were giggling as they tossed bomb after bomb into the bowl as if they were playing some kind of game.

Keane, on the other hand, found this scene quite amusing. He quietly watched the two Baby Slimes who seemed to be having a lot of fun.

Eiko paused for a bit because she suddenly had an idea. Instead of creating more Blast Bombs, she created several Skeleton Bombs, using the skill Skeleton Make.

After making her first Skeleton Bomb, she then tossed it inside the bowl, making the light shining at its center grow brighter.

The Baby Slime found this amusing and kept on tossing more Skeleton Bombs, while Fei Fei kept on throwing in Blast Bombs.

Several minutes later, the voice spoke once again, making the two Baby Slimes stop throwing more stuff inside the bowl.

< The Skeleton Generator had reached the maximum number of materials for fusion. >

< Do you wish to start the fusion? >

< Yes / No >

"Yes!" Eiko replied happily, confirming that she wanted the fusion to begin.

A moment later, several red lights danced inside the Skeleton Bowl.

Lux had no idea what would come out from his Baby Slime's diabolic concoction, but he had to admit that he was also very curious about what kind of Creature would emerge from the Skeleton Generator Skill.

This was the first time this skill was being used, so he was looking forward to the surprise that was waiting for them once the fusion was complete.
