"And that was how our ship, the Billy O' Tea, fought off the whale that almost dragged us down to the bottom of the sea," Captain Jack Spawow said. "So, my darlings, the moral lesson of the story is, don't drink rum when you go whaling, understand?"
"Aye!" Eiko replied.
"Yar!" Fei Fei answered.
The two Baby Slimes both had pirate hats on top of them, and Eiko was even wearing an eye patch.
Captain Jack Spawow was quite happy to have the two stowaways, who had snuck onto his ship the night they sailed out to sea, on board.
The Pirate Captain was naturally familiar with the two Baby Slimes who decided to become part of their Pirate Crew, so he happily accommodated them.
"Listen to me, Eiko, Fei Fei," Captain Jack Spawow said after taking a swig of his rum. "We are headed to Pirate Enclave where the baddest and meanest pirates who have sailed the Seven Seas will be gathering for a conference.
"A special Domain was discovered at sea, and many believe that it is where the Pirate Captain had hidden his greatest treasure. Isn't that right, Jibbs?"
"Aye, Captain," Jibbs replied. "According to the rumors, the great treasure was hidden by Uncle Roger, which he called, the One Cheese."
"Cheese?" Eiko tilted her head. "I like cheese."
"I'm sure you do, darling." Captain Jack Spawow smiled. "But it's no ordinary Cheese. Back in the Pirate Golden Era, the warring Pirates of the Sea fought for this Cheese before they were united under the Pirate King's banner.
"But that time is now nothing but in the past, and the Pirate Era seems to be nearing its final curtain call. The Great Fleet of the Ford Federation has finally decided to wipe us all out and is currently sending all of their battleships to the Pirate Enclave."
Jibbs and the other pirates all had solemn faces as they listened to their Captain. They were among the few who had answered the call of the various Pirate Warlords who had sent the rallying call to all Pirates for one last stand at the Pirate Enclave.
"Make them go boom?" Eiko summoned a small blast bomb and showed it to Captain Jack Spawow, which the latter happily took and tossed up and down on the palm of his hand.
"Well, that's the plan." Captain Jack Spawow grinned. "But they also have Boom Booms on their side. I heard that they are also gathering Supremes to ensure that none of us will be able to escape.
"Well, don't worry, Darling. When things get tough, you and Fei Fei can just escape. I'm sure that they will turn a blind eye to two babies like you."
Suddenly, Eiko sensed something and immediately climbed up to the top of the Main Mast of the ship.
Fei Fei followed her, and soon, the two Baby Slimes looked in the distance.
At first, the mist was blocking their view, but a few minutes later, they saw it.
Countless bones of Giant Sea Monsters were piled up on top of each other, forming Bone Islands that jutted out of the water.
"We call this place, the Sea King's Graveyard," Captain Jack Spawow said as he landed beside the two Baby Slimes who were looking at the bone islands in front of them. "According to legend, a great war between the Sea Kings was fought here.
"According to hearsay, whenever a Sea King felt that their life was about to end, they would visit this place and make it their final resting place. As to whether that story was true or not, no one was able to confirm."
Suddenly, Eiko did something unexpected.
"Bomber!"
Eiko summoned his Floating Blast Bomb and jumped on top of it.
"Go!" Eiko ordered.
Bomber then flew towards one of the Bone Islands as per Eiko's order. The moment the Baby Slime landed on the island, she used the skill Undead Generator [EX], which she had permanently copied from her Papa's Skill List.
When Lilian was teaching Eiko the Fairy Princess Legacy, Eiko learned the skill, Copy Skill [Epic].
This skill gave Eiko the power to copy a skill from one target, permanently.
At first, Lux thought that his Baby Blime would copy his Skill Evolution [EX] because it was the best skill in his arsenal.
Also, it worked perfectly with the Copy Skill ability since it would automatically upgrade any skill that Eiko could learn.
However, to his surprise, Eiko chose to copy his Undead Generator [EX] instead, which dumbfounded the Half-Elf.
When Lux asked Eiko why she didn't choose the Skill Evolution skill, the Baby Slime only told him that she didn't need to copy it because she would always be with her Papa when she learned skills.
Because of this, gaining the Skill Evolution skill wouldn't benefit her in any way.
Lux wanted to refute, but since this was Eiko's decision, he no longer objected to her will.
Several rows of text appeared in front of the baby slime as the Giant Bone Cauldron materialized in front of her.
< Thank you for using Undead Generator, your one-stop generator for creating any type of Undead Creature. Choose the option that you wish to use in creating your Undead Creature. >
< Options 1 - Create Random Undead using materials. >
< Options 2 - Create an Undead Monster of your choosing, using ingredients as catalysts. The more materials you sacrifice, the more powerful this creature will become. >
< Which Option do you wish to choose? >
< Option 1 / Option 2 >
——————————-
"Option 2!" Eiko answered.
——————————-
< A minimum of two materials can be used for fusion. There is no maximum limit for materials in creating an Undead Monster. Do you wish to create your Undead Monster now? >
——————————-
"Un!" Eiko nodded.
——————————-
< Take note that there is a possibility of having an accident while fusing. Sometimes, the Undead Species that you will generate from this accident is exceptionally weak or could be exceptionally strong. >
< Detecting large quantity of Monster Bones in the surroundings! >
< Do you wish to use these Monster Bones as ingredients for your Undead Creation?>
< Yes / No >
"Yes!" Eiko answered.
< Gathering Ingredients Phase Initiated! >
The Giant Bones in her surroundings slowly rose up in the air and were absorbed by the Bone Cauldron like a black hole.
Eiko wasn't idle and immediately started throwing Blast Bombs inside the Bone Cauldron to add to its ingredients.
Bomber did the same, as per Eiko's orders.
Captain Jack Spawow and his Pirate Crew could only watch this scene in disbelief, not expecting that something like this would happen on their way to the Pirate Enclave.
They had no idea what Eiko was doing, but something was telling them that they were about to witness something phenomenal.
The Bone Islands slowly disappeared from the surroundings as all the bones above and under the water were all gathered by the Bone Cauldron.
When the Pirate ship arrived next to Eiko, Fei Fei jumped off the ship and landed on top of Bomber.
She also started throwing Blast Bombs because it looked fun.
While the two Baby Slimes were throwing Blast Bombs left and right, several rows of text appeared in front of Eiko, which made the Baby Slime stop throwing her Blast Bombs.
< I detected four Demigod Beast Cores underwater. >
< Do you wish to add these Beast Cores as ingredients for your Undead Monster? >
< I highly suggest that you do! >
The Giant Bone Cauldron seemed to have gained a consciousness of its own after discovering the incredible boon underwater.
However, when Eiko heard the words Beast Core, she immediately thought of eating them.
"Can I eat?" Eiko asked in an innocent tone.
< It would be a waste of precious ingredients. I highly advise that you don't eat it. >
"Not eat?" Eiko suddenly became sad. "How about Lick?"
<….>
"Please?"
<… Okay. >
A giant skeleton hand emerged from within the Giant Cauldron and went to grab something deep underwater.
A few minutes later, it presented something to Eiko—a Beast Core that was at least three meters tall.
The Baby Slime was very tempted to eat it, but since it promised to only lick the Beast Core the Eiko proceeded to lick it like a candy.
Fei Fei did the same, and after a few seconds of licking, the two Baby Slimes both learned a skill from it.
Eiko learned the skill Sea Queen's Command, which allowed her to command a hundred sea creatures that were of the same Rank as her or lower.
Fei Fei, on the other hand, learned a passive skill called Sea Explorer, which allowed her to dive underwater and travel to its deepest parts without suffering from water pressure.
After the two Baby Slimes learned the skills, the Giant Skeleton Hand dropped the Demigod Beast Core inside the Giant Cauldron before once again grabbing something from the Sea Floor.
"Captain, am I dreaming?" Jibbs asked. "Did those two Baby Slimes just lick a Demigod Beast Core?!"
"It's not a dream, Jibbs," Captain Jack Spawow said as he took another swig of his rum. "It seems like we are in for a big surprise."
The Giant Cauldron had detected four Demigod Beast Cores from the ocean floor, and it intended to use all four of them as ingredients to create Eiko's Undead Monster.
Captain Jack Spawow looked at the Giant Cauldron with a smile because he was looking forward to seeing what kind of creature would be born from such a powerful fusion.
The Giant Hand emerged from the sea and presented another Demigod Beast Core to the two Slimes.
Naturally, Eiko and Fei Fei didn't hesitate to lick it before the Giant Hand proceeded to drop it inside the Giant Cauldron, which was already emitting golden sparks due to the high-quality ingredients that it had absorbed from its surroundings.
