nEiko had a big smile on her face as she looked at her Papa who had entrusted her with an important mission.

n“If things become dangerous, don’t hesitate to use your Family Bond EX to teleport back to me, okay?” Lux said as he held the baby Slime in his hands.

n“Pa!” Eiko nodded her head in understanding.

n“Are you ready?”

n“Pa!”

nLux nodded and summoned Pazuzu and Ishtar. In order for his plan to work, he needed the Demonic Protector to smuggle Eiko inside the Orc Stronghold. Once he succeeded, he would then create a distraction, alongside Ishtar, to give the baby Slime an opportunity to do her mission.

nThe good thing about Pazuzu was that he could fly. No gates or walls were too high for him, and it would definitely make Orobak panic if he saw that someone from the opposing side managed to fly past their defenses.

nThe Demonic Protector held the baby Slime in his left hand, and held his Tower Shield in his right.

nAfter listening to Lux’s instructions, the Demonic Protector, and the Skeleton Hunter nodded their heads in understanding.

n“Ishtar, make the world burn,” Lux said to his Skeleton Hunter. “Pazuzu, smack them with your shield. This is a suicide mission, so I hope that the two of you will forgive me for letting both of you die deep behind enemy lines.”

nPazuzu chuckled, and Ishtar patted Lux’s shoulder, as if telling him that they understood.

nSoon, the Demonic Protector was airborne, with Ishtar holding onto his neck as she rode on his back.

nPazuzu’s flying speed was fairly average, and any archer could easily hit him without problems. However, he had a secret weapon in his arsenal and that was the Madlad Rush. When he used that skill, he would be just like a race car, zooming across the land and the sky, and leaving everyone in the dust.

nLux watched as Pazuzu shortened the distance between himself and the Stronghold. Just as he expected, Orobak immediately ordered his men to shoot the flying creature out of the sky.

nA moment later, the sound of arrows hitting the tower shield reverberated in the surroundings.

n“Shield Wall!” Pazuzu roared and a blue tower shield that was six meters tall and five meters wide appeared in front of him.

nShield Wall was a skill that summoned a defensive shield in front of Pazuzu. The shield’s defense was equivalent to Pazuzu’s overall defense multiplied by three. This ability would last for a full minute, and was one of his main defensive skills that was especially useful when tanking bosses.

nAs the Demonic Defender, whenever his health fell below 50%, his defense would increase by 100%. If both abilities were activated at the same time, Pazuzu’s defense would rise drastically for a minute, allowing him to withstand deadly blows that could instantly kill anyone but him.

n“Madlad Rush!”

nJust like a blue comet, Pazuzu charged towards the Stronghold, ignoring the rain of arrows that pelted his Shield Wall.

n,m Orobak’s panicked roar could be heard the moment the Demonic Defender flew past the ramparts and headed towards the center of the Stronghold. As soon as he landed, Eiko jumped down from Pazuzu’s hand and ran away as fast as she could.

nHowever, before the baby slime completely left, she made sure to summon her Skeletal Fighters and Skeleton Grand Archers to help Pazuzu and Ishtar hold back the Orc Army. She then looked for a safe place to hide. Ths chapter is updated by oᴠel ꜰre.nt

nIshtar and Pazuzu exchanged a glance, and proceeded to perform their roles separately. The Demonic Protector crouched down and used his hands to allow the Skeleton Hunter to use it as a stepping stone.

nA moment later, he propelled Ishtar upwards, allowing her to use her Air Steps, so that she could position herself at a high vantage point in order to best make the world burn according to Lux’s orders.

nIshtar nimbly landed on top of an elevated platform. She immediately used her Siege Stance and with the raise of her bow, several fire arrows were launched around her surroundings.

nWhen Orobak and his warriors arrived at Pazuzu’s landing site, several of the buildings were already starting to burn.

n“Stop her!” Orobak shouted. “Kill that Skeleton!”

nIshtar ignored Orobak’s shout and continued to rain fire arrows on her surroundings. Since this was a suicide mission, her life was not important. The only thing that currently mattered for her was to create as much chaos as possible, distracting the enemies until Eiko completed her mission.

nWhen the Skeleton Hunter finally crumbled to pieces and Pazuzu got subdued, the Orcs became busy with doing their best to put out the flames that were blazing around them.

nLittle did they know that while they were running around, carrying buckets of water to deal with the flames, a baby Slime had already entered their main Stronghold.

nEiko giggled as she sneakily entered the Stronghold’s kitchen where the Orcs stored their food. She then spat a few bottles out of her mouth, which was given to her by Baronar in order to drug the Orcs’ food supplies and leave them unable to fight to their fullest.

nThis was not the first time that Eiko had done this mission, so she was already well versed on what she needed to do.

nThe baby Slime giggled a second time before she summoned her Skeletal Fighters to help her sabotage the food supplies of the Orcs. Since her supply of potions was limited, not all of the food inside the kitchen was doused with the debilitating potions that Baronar had prepared.

nFortunately, Lux had been prepared for this scenario.

nEiko approached the baskets of food with a smile on her face. After looking at her left and right to ensure that no Orcs were coming to the kitchen, the baby slime opened her mouth and ate the entire basket.

nWell, ate was not the right word for it. She merely stored the basket of food inside her own personal storage.

nThe baby slime continued to “nom nom” every basket that hadn’t been drugged inside her storage. After making sure that everything was covered, she left the kitchen with a giggle before continuing her exploration of the Orc Encampment

nAlthough her main mission had been completed, Lux had given her a side-mission which he believed his baby Slime could pull off.

nWith her main mission complete, it was now time for her to tackle the side mission that Lux had assigned her.

nEiko traversed sneakily through the Stronghold and headed towards Orobak’s main quarters which was located at the very rear of the Orc Encampment. There had been occasions where she had nearly been discovered, but due to her Mimicry EX ability, she was able to escape all of them.

nThe baby Slime would transform into a rock, a piece of wood, or even a bone, just to avoid alerting the Orc Warriors that were wandering around their encampment to do their duties.

nAfter nearly two hours of painstaking effort, the baby Slime finally arrived at her destination and looked for a place to rest for the night.

nShe was still a baby, and her night escapade exhausted her.

nLux smiled as he cut off his connection with his baby Slime, who was now sleeping safely inside one of the cupboards in Orobak’s residence. He knew that when morning came, they would be able to attack the Stronghold, with minimal casualties on their side.
