Chapter 50: Chapter 50: This strike, piercing through the stars!
Olivia now felt refreshed, as if her whole body was floating.
Thinking about how she came to the rescue at the critical moment, saving Star Continent, made her immensely happy!
That’s right.
This time, it was me who led the charge!
She patted herself proudly twice.
See that? Behind me are nearly 100 Royal Guards, averaging a professional level of 9.
people per squad, 3 squads per platoon, 3 platoons per company.
Look at these 100 Royal Guards, isn’t that a company?
The average level is as high as 9.
The usual Royal Guard squad leader must be level 10.
Royal Guard platoon leaders are at least Exemplary level.
This force, armed to the teeth, would require Sister Wang to go to great lengths to mobilize, if not for me causing a runaway.
Being able to rally such numbers to chase after her requires the premise of "Princess Regent" from Sister Wang’s side.
After all, Daddy hasn’t officially handed over the position to Sister Wang yet!
For ordinary small countries, these 100 Royal Guards would be more than enough to tear through their capitals. Rescuing Star Continent would be a piece of cake...
What the hell is that?!
The little swan held by the head maid stared dumbfoundedly at the giant creature approaching from afar, causing an earthquake-like shake.
Seeing that Louis and his group were about to be caught up, Lumi frowned, extended her hand, and tossed Olivia onto a female knight’s horse.
The female knight reached out to catch the struggling little swan.
"Your Highness, don’t get close to the battlefield later."
After saying that, the head maid raised her head, her whole body emitting a strong sense of battle.
Bathed in sunlight, she glowed brilliantly, a mini solar flare rising on the grassland.
...
At this moment, Louis was still on the run.
Limuru’s leap forward was so intense that sparks almost flew.
Truly, not a drop was left.
The humanoid monster known as the Clown King was rapidly closing in on their location.
The massive size endowed the King of the Living Dead with the power to trample the earth, and as it rapidly crawled forward, it resembled a ground exploder.
The terrifying aura, always shadow-like, numbed Louis.
Though he hadn’t hunted magical creatures less frequently during this time, monsters like those in movies, he had truly never encountered.
From the distance when Limuru was air-dropped, he hadn’t felt it, but upon truly sensing its might, he hadn’t even had time to cope with his world view being shaken.
—After being startled, he pulled the humbled giant to flee.
Boom!
Boom!
Amidst the horrifying roars, he saw the maid always by the little swan’s side rushing towards them.
Before he could shout out danger, he saw dazzling brilliance condensing into a magnificent long spear before her.
The surging energy blew her hair, and the two golden long spears made of energy seemed to have a tempting magic power, firmly attracting his gaze instantly.
For a moment, he forgot about the pursuers behind him and was absorbed in the light.
At this moment, there was a voice in his mind roaring madly:
"Claim her! Possess her! Control her!"
The next moment, the golden light reached its peak, fiercely thrown out by her.
On flat ground, two intersecting golden rays blasted violently, forcing the King of the Living Dead—acting like a demolition office—to halt.
When he looked up again, he only saw an even more shocking scene,
Only seeing the power of the blazing sun condense into golden radiance on Lumi, she used her iron battle skirt as a sky bow, turning the silver spear into an arrow.
A kick launched!
The sky bow like a full moon!
Shooting at the enemy with a strike capable of piercing the starry arc!
At this moment.
Amid the roaring sound.
Louis finally understood what attracted him.
It wasn’t some lustful sin.
It was the greed for knowledge screaming at him.
Want it!
I want it!
This skill must be learned!
The strength enthusiasts and beauty enthusiasts can finally put down the cement bag and stop fighting.
But soon this thought was pressed deep inside by Louis.
He was not out of danger yet.
Following closely, the Royal Guards coming in pursuit drew their javelins and launched a volley.
The javelins descending from the sky were coated with crimson blood air, nailing into this plain.
A good portion of the living dead wave that followed the King of the Living Dead was directly nailed to the ground.
When Louis and the Royal Guards converged, he immediately ordered Limuru to stop running.
"Many thanks, Limuru, from now on just focus on supporting from the rear."
The soft pudding lay slumped on the ground, breathing gently.
Its body flickered for a moment, with the majority retreating into a ring, leaving only a tiny portion on Louis’ palm.
Appearing as though it regressed to a typical slime.
Well...actually, it really did regress.
Ordinarily, contracted magical pet’s professional levels cannot surpass the Contractor’s level.
Otherwise, on the Star Continent teeming with old monsters, Summoners would become the strongest profession.
—Those willing to be junior dogs stay, those unwilling are destroyed, maintaining control.
However, it’s not that simple.
Thus, Louis accidentally stumbled upon a bug.
Rather than individual forms, giant slimes are more like conglomerates.
So Limuru’s so-called evolution is more akin to a 10,000 slime core compound forming a life phalanx.
Thus spanning 10 challenge levels from slime to giant slime.
Unlike ordinary magical creatures that continuously ascend challenge levels.
This abyssal gap signifies the giant slime isn’t considered an individual.
Research by the White Tower confirmed this fact.
They even tried to separate the giant slime again, but the experiment failed; advanced giant slime cannot devolve into a typical slime.
—Except for Limuru.
Perhaps influenced by "Sin of Greed," it acquired wisdom far surpassing lower-level slimes.
Coupled with the "Sin of Greed," this power assimilated other slime cores, granting it significant control over the giant slime.
Upon learning this, the White Tower Mage offered him an outlandish suggestion.
—Try to see if Limuru can detach from the giant slime and devolve back to typical slime form.
Naturally, this attempt succeeded.
Limuru re-devolved into an LV1 individual.
While the giant slime’s body halted like a computer losing its CPU.
However, this seemed unaffected.
Limuru reintegrated into it, reverting to that awe-inspiring giant slime.
Thus, whenever Louis went out, he immediately stuffed the de-evolved Limuru into a bag.
As for the giant slime’s body?
He fetched a dimensional bag designed for Summoners to hold Summoned Beasts from Beatrice, directly packing Limuru inside.
He spent some time teaching Limuru how to use a spatial bag and then handed the dimensional bag over to it for safekeeping.
Especially after discovering he mastered the art of slinging, he devised a combo move.
Using a sling to precision throw the devolved Limuru→Limuru flies mid-air, retrieves giant slime body from dimensional bag, merges→Enlarges→Justice descending!
Anyway, blunt damage was negligible for slimes.
Just as Louis prepared to use a sling for support, a gleeful laugh echoed:
"Hhh~Louis, thank me quickly, this time I brought reinforcements!"
Louis looked up and saw the little swan proudly raising its chin, seemingly...
Expecting a compliment?
Louis, like indulging his sister, ruffled her hair, expressing gratitude:
"Olivia, that was a big help!"
