Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

chapter-85
Lux had a confused look on his face as he stared at his baby monster, Eiko.
The Half-Elf had no idea how a two-foot tall egg could give birth to a blue slime that was only as big as his hand.
"Brother, you still need to give her a drop of your blood," Iris reminded. "This is how we put our imprint on baby monsters, so that they will fully recognize us as their parents."
"Is that so?" Lux thought as he allowed Iris to lightly prick his left index finger to draw blood. He wasn't an expert when it comes to monster breeding, so he decided to let his step sister guide him to do the finishing touches.
Once enough blood pooled on the tip of his fingertip, Lux then placed it over Eiko's head, but the baby slime did something unexpected.As if sensing Lux's blood, Eiko raised her head and extended her body to bite his fingertip. The Half-Elf almost jumped back in shock, but was able to stop at the last minute out of sheer willpower.
After consuming his blood, Eiko's body glowed briefly and rows of text appeared inside Lux's Soul Book.
Iris giggled as she picked up Eiko with both of her hands. She then used an ability of hers to draw blood from her fingertip, and allowed Eiko to absorb her blood as well. Just like what happened after Eiko had taken Lux's blood, Eiko's body glowed briefly, which meant that Eiko recognized Iris as her parent as well.
"With this, I will be your Mama and Brother will be your Papa," Iris smiled sweetly as she gave Lux a sidelong glance, before giving Eiko a kiss, which made the blue slime's small body jiggle.
The red-headed teenager could only scratch the back of his head because he didn't know how he should react to Iris' teasing.
'I guess I'll just check on Eiko's stats first,' Lux thought as he opened his Soul Book.
Just as he expected, a new page had appeared that was exclusive for Eiko. However, what he saw in the information sheet of the baby slime made Lux wonder if he was just seeing things.—--

'... Dafuk is this sh*t?' Lux cursed internally as he looked at the cheat-like abilities that were available on Eiko's Status Page.
The first thing that he noticed was the incredibly high progression rating that Eiko currently had. Even Diablo's and Ishtar's ratings started with only a 100 points, but Eiko's rating had jumped straight to 1,000!
This was something unexpected, and Lux was starting to feel his head aching at the thought of how he would be able to get Eiko to upgrade with the measly amount of resources he currently had. Also, unlike his two other Named Creatures, Diablo and Ishtar, Eiko didn't have a 50% bonus when absorbing beast cores.
This meant that the baby slime needed to eat one hundred Rank 1 Beast Cores, in order to get her first upgrade.
Lux also believed that Eiko's two skills, Mimicry [EX], and Regeneration [EX], were nothing to scoff at. Those two skills alone was enough to tell him how powerful Eiko would be if she reached a higher rank.
'I knew that I would get something insane if I left the hatching of the egg to Iris, but I didn't expect to learn that this kind of insanity existed,' Lux pinched the bridge of his nose because his stepsister was truly a lady blessed by luck.
Just as Lux was wondering how to upgrade Eiko to the next level, he saw Iris holding a blue Rank 1 Beast Core that was the size of a quail's egg, and fed it to the baby slime in her hands.
The Half-Elf watched this endearing scene with a smile on his face, but his smile froze when a row of text once again appeared on Eiko's Status Page, catching him completely by surprise.

Before Lux could even digest the words that he had read, Eiko turned around and spat a blob of water at the floor. She did this ten times, with an interval of a few seconds in between.
Immediately after that, Lux received a notification that Eiko's Water Bullet Skill had successfully evolved into Hydro Ball.
"Wow! You're amazing Eiko!" Iris praised the baby monster who jiggled in her hand in happiness. "But, let's go outside, okay? We don't want you damaging this place."
Iris happily left the Bestiary and headed to her personal training ground with the baby slime in her arms. Lux could only stare at them in disbelief as he tried to understand what had just transpired a moment ago.
'I think I discovered a bug in the system,' Lux thought as he forced himself to follow Iris and Eiko to her private training room.
Deep inside, he was starting to have a feeling of anticipation. Although Eiko was still a baby right now, her possibilities were endless.
The Half-Elf couldn't even imagine what kind of upgrade the baby slime would have, once she consumed the necessary amount of beast cores to upgrade her rank to the next level.
