Novel Full Chapter 122 Eiko’s Upgrade
Lux took out his Soul Book and opened Eiko’s Page, so that he could upgrade her before their battle against the Red-Eyed Terror Mantis.
Even after so long, the Half-Elf still couldn’t believe that the Monster he got from the egg was a Blue Slime. At first, he was disappointed because he was expecting a Dragon, or any other legendary creature. However, after spending time with Eiko, Lux found the baby Slime quite loveable, and no longer wished for something else.

‘As expected, Eiko surpassed all of my summons’ abilities by an incredible margin,’ Lux thought. ‘Although her rank is still low, her growth potential is scary to say the least.’
Lux no longer hesitated and clicked the upgrade button near her progression bar. Immediately, several rows of text appeared, giving Lux several options to choose from.

Lux chose the second option to add +100 to Eiko’s intelligence and the Dig Ability in order to make her stronger, as well as give her the ability to escape underground if need be.
Eiko, who was currently perched on top of Lux’s head, smiled after she felt herself grow stronger.

– Allows Eiko to dig a hole and move underground. This skill consumes twenty Mana Points every thirty seconds.
– This skill has no cooldown and can be used as long as Eiko has mana.
– Eiko will be able to dig even through the hardest of rocks, metals, and crystals. There is nothing that this baby Slime cannot Dig!

“Oh, this is unexpected,” Lux muttered as he looked at Eiko’s current stats.

Lux clicked Upgrade once more and was given the same choices as before. He chose the second option once again, which added +100 to Eiko’s intelligence. However, for the second option, he decided to choose the Devil Slime as Eiko’s summon.
The Devil Slime was a monster that had a shadow property. All of its Skills were of the Shadow Element, which was useful when doing missions that required stealth. Just like the mission in which Eiko infiltrated the Orc Stronghold to drug their food supply.

– Choose one among the three options available to you.
Option 1: Summon two Devil Slimes instead of one.
Option 2: Upgrade Devil Slime, to Arch Devil Slime.
Option 3: Give Eiko’s first Devil Slime a name. Named creatures will be stronger and more intelligent than normal ones. Eiko’s named creature will always be one rank higher than her.

“Oh? This is quite interesting,” Lux rubbed his chin as he read the third option.
Unlike Diablo and the rest of his Summons, which he needed to manually upgrade, Eiko’s Summons would automatically upgrade themselves every time she ranked up. For Lux, this was a wonderful thing. This feature allowed him to save on a huge amount of Beast Cores that he could’ve needed to upgrade Eiko’s minions.
“Eiko, you will have a new subordinate,” Lux said. “Um, this Slime is a male, so give him a guy’s name.”
Eiko glanced at Lux’s Soul Book and saw the Devil Slime’s picture in it. It didn’t even take her ten seconds to give her Devil Slime a name.
“Blackie!” Eiko said.
Lux chuckled, thinking that Eiko’s naming sense was quite simple. Since the Devil Slime was black, she just called him Blackie to make things easier.
As soon as Eiko gave the Devil Slime a name, it glowed briefly in Lux’s Soul Book, proving that it had successfully been named.

Lux shuddered upon seeing the number of points required for Eiko’s next Upgrade. Fortunately, he received three Upgrades for free, or else he would not have had a chance to upgrade his baby slime until he reached the Apostle Grade.
“One last time, let’s do this!” Lux clicked the last upgrade and chose to add another +100 points to Eiko’s intelligence, as well as another Summon for her. This time, he chose the Angel Slime to complement the Devil Slime. They made a great pair that would protect Eiko at all times.
The same three options appeared, and just like Lux expected, Eiko named her Angel Slime, Whitey, making Lux chuckle.
“It’s like naming a pet dog or cat.” Lux could only shake his head as Eiko’s new Summon, Whitey, glowed briefly in his Soul Book.

Lux pinched the bridge of his nose after he saw the required points that Eiko needed in order for her to reach Rank C. It was a staggering 8,000 points, which made his head ache.
“Iris must be incredibly rich for her to upgrade four Mythical Creatures at the same time,” Lux muttered. “If I remember correctly, Hanz (White Tiger), Astra (Unicorn A.K.A Eiko’s enemy), and the others were all Rank B+.”
Lux didn’t know if Iris’ Beast Companions were as powerful as Eiko. But, he felt that Eiko would give them a surprise, once she reached their rank.
‘I almost feel sorry for Astra,’ Lux thought as he remembered the Unicorn, who was also Eiko’s rival for Iris’ attention. ‘I’m sure that Eiko will ask for a rematch the next time we visit Barbatos Academy.’
The Half-Elf lightly patted the baby Slime who had moved to his hand asking to be spoiled.
“Eiko, let’s give Iris a surprise when we return to the academy, okay?” Lux said with a smile.
“Pa!” Eiko replied with a bigger smile on her face.
Soon the Half-Elf and the baby slime chuckled together. Now that Eiko’s upgrade was finished, it was now time for Lux to choose a Rank 3 Skill, which was one of the rewards he had received when he completed the hidden mission inside Orc Dominion.
