Eiko had a big smile on her face as she looked at her Papa who had entrusted her with an important mission.
"If things beco dangerous, don't hesitate to use your Family Bond [EX] to teleport back to , okay?" Lux said as he held the baby Sli in his hands.
"Pa!" Eiko nodded her head in understanding.
"Are you ready?"
"Pa!"
Lux 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 Sli an opportunity to do her mission.
The 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 soone from the opposing side managed to fly past their defenses.
The Demonic Protector held the baby Sli in his left hand, and held his Tower Shield in his right.
After listening to Lux's instructions, the Demonic Protector, and the Skeleton Hunter nodded their heads in understanding.
"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 for letting both of you die deep behind enemy lines."
Pazuzu chuckled, and Ishtar patted Lux's shoulder, as if telling him that they understood.
Soon, the Demonic Protector was airborne, with Ishtar holding onto his neck as she rode on his back.
Pazuzu'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.
Lux watched as Pazuzu shortened the distance between himself and the Stronghold. Just as he expected, Orobak imdiately ordered his n to shoot the flying creature out of the sky.
A mont later, the sound of arrows hitting the tower shield reverberated in the surroundings.
"Shield Wall!" Pazuzu roared and a blue tower shield that was six ters tall and five ters wide appeared in front of him.
Shield 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.
As the Demonic Defender, whenever his health fell below 50%, his defense would increase by 100%. If both abilities were activated at the sa ti, Pazuzu's defense would rise drastically for a minute, allowing him to withstand deadly blows that could instantly kill anyone but him.
"Madlad Rush!"
Just like a blue cot, Pazuzu charged towards the Stronghold, ignoring the rain of arrows that pelted his Shield Wall.
,m Orobak's panicked roar could be heard the mont 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.
However, before the baby sli 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.
Ishtar 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.
A mont 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.
Ishtar nimbly landed on top of an elevated platform. She imdiately used her Siege Stance and with the raise of her bow, several fire arrows were launched around her surroundings.
When Orobak and his warriors arrived at Pazuzu's landing site, several of the buildings were already starting to burn.
"Stop her!" Orobak shouted. "Kill that Skeleton!"
Ishtar 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.
When the Skeleton Hunter finally crumbled to pieces and Pazuzu got subdued, the Orcs beca busy with doing their best to put out the flas that were blazing around them.
Little did they know that while they were running around, carrying buckets of water to deal with the flas, a baby Sli had already entered their main Stronghold.
Eiko 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.
This was not the first ti that Eiko had done this mission, so she was already well versed on what she needed to do.
The baby Sli giggled a second ti 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.
Fortunately, Lux had been prepared for this scenario.
Eiko 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 sli opened her mouth and ate the entire basket.
Well, ate was not the right word for it. She rely stored the basket of food inside her own personal storage.
The baby sli 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 Encampnt
Although her main mission had been completed, Lux had given her a side-mission which he believed his baby Sli could pull off.
With her main mission complete, it was now ti for her to tackle the side mission that Lux had assigned her.
Eiko traversed sneakily through the Stronghold and headed towards Orobak's main quarters which was located at the very rear of the Orc Encampnt. 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.
The baby Sli 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 encampnt to do their duties.
After nearly two hours of painstaking effort, the baby Sli finally arrived at her destination and looked for a place to rest for the night.
She was still a baby, and her night escapade exhausted her.
Lux smiled as he cut off his connection with his baby Sli, who was now sleeping safely inside one of the cupboards in Orobak's residence. He knew that when morning ca, they would be able to attack the Stronghold, with minimal casualties on their side.
