Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Chapter 1010  Do You Really Think That The One Cheese Is Real?

Lux sat cross-legged in the training room of Iris' residence in Barbatos Academy.

Around him were countless elemental balls spinning in the air, sending out subtle fluctuations that contained the powers they held within.

After spending a month consuming countless Beast Cores, the Half-Elf had gained countless skills in his arsenal.

He really didn't have any time to train these skills in the past, so he decided to spend his time testing them in preparation for the future.

The battle in the Divine Empire had taught him a lot, especially when he was faced with the combined attack of the Four Young Supremes and the Oracle of Light.

Although he had numerous skills, they were still not enough to fight against the Pseudo-Supremes.

Hereswith had told him that there was nothing that he could have done to change the outcome of the battle.

Even if Gaap hadn't been hit by the Oracle's Arrow of Destruction, he was still fated to die before the battle was over.

Lux understood this, but that didn't mean that he accepted it.

Gaap had gone to the Divine Empire to die—that much was true.

However, he died protecting Lux because the Half-Elf wasn't strong enough, and this was something that the Half-Elf couldn't accept.

The current Lux was confident that he would be able to stand toe to toe with Saints.

He was also fairly confident that he would be able to fight against a Supreme, and even if he didn't win, he wouldn't lose either.

But that battle depended on the condition that the Supreme didn't have any supporters to help him fight.

His Master, Hereswith, was a Peak Demigod and commanded the Skeleton Queen, who was just as powerful.

Even so, she still decided to return to Memento Mori to discuss a few things with their members.

Although the extremely beautiful Elf didn't tell Lux about her plans, he could guess it.

He was certain that his Grandmaster planned to join the search for the Stars of Calamity.

There were Seven of these Beasts, and according to Hereswith, three had already been found. And with that, only four remained to be sought.

Hereswith's goal was to get one of them to further enhance her fighting power.

Knowing this, Lux didn't plan on summoning Hereswith anytime soon. He wanted to rely on his current abilities to overcome the enemies who were threatening to kill him.

The Half-Elf was perfectly safe in Solais because no one there had the ability to kill him.

The handful of Saints that were present in the Six Kingdoms were also on his side.

Of course, he now had Saints of his own, who were safely stored inside Blackfire.

Simply put, as long as he wasn't facing a Supreme or a Demigod, Lux could walk unhindered in both Solais and Elysium.

The spinning elemental balls in the air all moved to merge with each other, but the process wasn't easy.

Beads of sweat formed on the Half-Elf's forehead as he carefully observed the delicate balance of the elemental powers that were merging with each other.

A moment later, a loud explosion resounded within the Academy, making Iris and Cai, who were having their afternoon tea, glance in Lux's direction.

Both girls were also doing their best to increase their Ranks. However, since their Fiance was in the academy, the two decided to take a break.

Right now, Iris and Cai were almost C-Rankers.

After what happened to the Abyss, the two girls had become more serious about increasing their ranks, so that in the future, they would no longer be a burden to their lover.

Just as the smoke cleared from the Training Ground, Iris and Cai noticed something different.

A Baby Slime was now perched on top of Lux's head and was happily ruining her Papa's hairstyle.

"Eiko!" Iris immediately stood up and ran towards the Baby Slime, whom she hadn't seen for a while.

Eiko, who saw her Mama running towards her, opened her mouth and spat out Fei Fei, who rolled on the ground with a smile on her face.

"Wei?"

"Fei Fei!" Cai didn't hesitate to pick up her Baby Slime and give her a kiss.

Iris did the same, and Eiko happily accepted her Mama's kisses with a big smile on her face.

"Eiko, you're finally back," Lux said as he rearranged his hair that had been turned into a bird's nest. "Are you done with your adventure?"

Eiko shook her head. "No."

"Then why did you return?" Lux asked.

"Key!" Eiko replied as he looked at her Papa expectantly.

"Key?" Lux tilted his head in confusion. "What key?"

"El Dorito!"

"… Do you mean El Dorado?"

"Un! El Dorito!"

Iris giggled after hearing the silly exchange between the Half-Elf and the Baby Slime.

Lux didn't know why Eiko was asking him for the key to El Dorado, but since the Baby Slime asked nicely, he didn't think much about it.

Summoning the key, he handed it to Eiko, who unceremoniously swallowed it without a second thought.

"We return!" Eiko declared. "Fei Fei. Let's go!"

"Wei~"

"Wait!" Iris, who missed the Baby Slime very much, hugged Eiko close to her chest. "Can you stay for a few more minutes? I really missed you."

Cai felt the same and looked at her Baby Slime with pleading eyes.

Eiko and Fei Fei were unable to resist Iris and Cai's gazes, so they nodded their heads and stayed for half an hour before disappearing from their sight.

The Baby Slime had used her skill to instantly teleport to Lux's and Iris' location.

However, in order to instantly return to her Pirate Ship, she had left two of her clones there, so she could swap places with them at any time.

Entrance of the Hidden Domain in the Seven Seas…

Eiko raised the Key of El Dorado, allowing a small gate to appear in front of her.

"Let's go!" Eiko said as she jumped onto Avery's shoulder.

Fei Fei also jumped onto Avery's shoulder. The Golden Slime's body was shuddering because she could already feel the countless treasures that were waiting for them inside the Domain.

Captain Jack Spawow, followed behind the Skeleton Pirate King with an expectant look in his gaze.

He was the only one that Eiko had permitted to follow them inside the Lost City of El Dorado.

The rest of the Pirates also wanted to explore the Hidden Domain, but they didn't have a key like Eiko's.

The number of people that Eiko could bring inside the domain was very limited, so she only allowed Captain Jack Spawow to join her.

As for the rest, they could only wait for her return.

"Hey, do you really think that the One Cheese is real?" one of the Pirates asked his friend.

"Of course it's real," a Pirate wearing a red bandana replied. "We are about to see history in the making. I can't wait to see the faces of those Great Families when Princess Eiko manages to inherit the Pirate King's Legacy."

This was the thought of every Pirate on the scene.

They had long wanted to have someone to lead them, but everyone was too prideful to acknowledge anyone to order them around.

However, Eiko was different.

After witnessing how her subordinate defeated Admiral Onyx and made the Fleet of the Ford Federation submit to her, the opinions of the Pirates of the Seven Seas changed completely.

Now that a true leader had appeared in front of them, they felt that following her would lead them to greater heights.

Although Eiko was still young, they believed that she had what it took to unite all Pirates under one banner and change the system of the Ford Federation for the better.
