Chapter 1114 The Little Ones’ Courage [Part 2]
Dark smoke rose up toward the sky, forming a gigantic mushroom shape that could be seen for miles on end.
From within that smoke, a blue barrier glowed faintly, making Lilian breathe a sigh of relief.
However, her relief didn't last long because the three Calamity-Ranked Monsters she was fighting against broke out of their daze and resumed their attack on her, pushing her back.
'Useless fools.' A Mantis-like Monster clicked his tongue as its gaze swept through the battlefield. 'I thought that I wouldn't need to lift a finger, but it seems that we have underestimated the denizens of this world.'
This Mantis-like Monster was actually a Demigod who had the ability to camouflage itself by melding with its surroundings.
Before the Purple Portal closed, it was able to arrive in Solais safely. Due to its passive ability of seamlessly melding with its surroundings so long as it wasn't active, Lilian failed to notice its presence.
But even if she did, it was a Monster far more powerful than her, making the match-up very disadvantageous for her.
She was already fighting against three Calamity-Ranked Monsters, and she was using everything in her arsenal to stand toe to toe with them.
Even the Wicked Queen Slime would be helpless if the Mantis attacked her as well.
Fortunately, the Mantis didn't join the other Abyssal Monsters in their battle. Instead, it headed toward Leaf Village, curious to know where the explosion had come from.
It was certain that even if it was met with the same attack, he would be able to tank it with the strong exoskeleton that was protecting its body.
After getting close to the Leaf Town, it heard the cheering of the people inside it, making it look at them in contempt.
'These weaklings really think that they won, huh?' the Mantis thought as it raised one of its razor-sharp claws to slice the barrier in half.
But just as his claw was about to hit its target, a golden blur flew in its direction, making it stop its attack mid-air to instead target the thing that caught its eye.
A metallic sound reverberated in the surroundings, as the Demigod Monster was pushed hundreds of meters away from where it stood.
The Demigod couldn't help but be surprised, not expecting that there was someone in the village who could match its might.
The Golden Anchor flew back to Leaf Town and hovered in front of its Master.
A small hand grabbed its handle with ease, making all the Baby Slimes, as well as the Dwarves of Leaf Village, look in her direction.
"… Eyah." Cedie looked at their Fairy Princess with teary eyes.
All the other Baby Slimes were feeling the same thing as him, but instead of crying, all of them jumped in happiness and called out her name.
""Big Sis!""
""Eiko!""
""Big Sis!""
""Eiko!""
A devilish smile appeared on Eiko's face as her little brothers and sisters called out her name.
The Baby Slime thought of every Baby Slime in Leaf Town, as well as the Baby Slimes in the Guild Headquarters, as her brothers and sisters.
Since her family members were being bullied, she couldn't possibly watch and let it happen.
She had just finished clearing all the Abyssal Monsters who had attacked the Fynn Kingdom.
With her mission completed, she immediately went to Leaf Town upon hearing the call of the Baby Slimes living there.
With a devilish smile on her face, Eiko flew toward the Mantis-like Demigod Monster, with her weapon firmly held in her grasp.
Right now, she was only at the Empyrean Stage, and her opponent was two levels above her.
But Eiko wasn't worried.
She was wielding a Pillar of Eternity, and even though her rank was lower than her opponent's, she was confident that she would be able to defend herself from its attacks.
"Foolish girl!" the Mantis roared as it opened its wing to fly toward Eiko with its claws ready to strike.
Eiko blocked the strike and was blown away by the impact. Even so, she was unharmed. She then summoned her clones to join her in battle.
These five clones summoned Five Empyrean-Ranked Thunder Slimes who immediately opened their mouths, releasing a rumbling sound of thunder.
The Mantis was confident with its defense, but it had underestimated the Thunder Slimes' attacks.
Their attacks could pass through any defense because they were using Sound Waves instead of magical or physical attacks.
Eiko then raised her Golden Anchor, summoning three Water Dragons that were dozens of meters long.
These Dragons flew towards the Mantis and tackled it with a vengeance.
The Demigod's body turned black, and its eyes turned crimson as it entered its battle mode.
With a single swipe of its claws, a Water Dragon was split in half. It exploded into a shower of water, drenching the Mantis' body.
It did the same to the other Water Dragons, destroying them without much effort on its part.
It was one of the deadliest Demigod Abyssal Nobles in the Abyss, so its power was stronger than other Abyssal Creatures of the same rank.
After killing the Water Dragons, the Black Mantis flapped its wings and turned into a blur.
Eiko used the Golden Anchor like a shield in front of her body, just in time to block the Black Mantis' attack.
The force was so strong that the Fairy Princess was pushed back for hundreds of meters.
Seeing this, the Empyrean Thunder Slimes once again unleashed their bombardment, making the Demigod roar in anger.
It was as if its body was being hit by invisible cannons, rattling its internal organs.
Understanding that the Thunder Slimes had the means to injure him, it once again turned to a blur and went for the kill.
Just as it was about to kill the nearest Thunder Slime, its target's body expanded like a balloon.
A moment later, it exploded as the Thunder Slime used its suicide attack, making the Mantis cry out in pain as it was pushed back for several meters.
The other Thunder Slimes propelled themselves like giant cannons toward the Black Mantis, using their power to travel at the speed of sound, resulting in shock waves.
Similar to what had happened earlier, they all detonated, making the Mantis stagger and kneel on the ground.
It was trying to calm down the tremors that were rampaging inside its body, making it unable to move.
While it was doing this, it scanned its surroundings and looked at the little girl whom it had sent flying earlier.
The Mantis' body shuddered after finding the person that it was looking for.
However, it didn't shudder after seeing Eiko.
Not yet.
It shuddered after seeing that its enemy was standing at the bow of a Gigantic Bone Ship, whose main cannon was already charged and ready to fire.
The Fairy Princess sneered at him before ordering Poseidon to unleash the power that instantly ended the battle in the Fynn Kingdom.
A destructive laser beam blasted from Poseidon's Cannon, making the Demigod scream in fear, desperation, and unwillingness.
Before the monstrous beam of light descended on its body, a word filled with ridicule reached its ears.
"F*cker."
That was the last thing that the Demigod heard before its entire body was vaporized, not even leaving its ashes behind.
