112: Chapter 110: The tide turns! The little skeleton becomes king!

"Damn it!" King Slime immediately began spewing profanities.

"You've been following behind this King, crying and begging to be my lackey, and now you actually want to usurp the throne? You've got some nerve."

"One more word of trash talk, and this King Slime will blast you to death!!"

King Slime reached out a claw, dug into its body, and pulled off a large chunk of its gelatinous form. It looked ready to explode if Little Skeleton dared to talk any more trash.

Little Skeleton snorted coldly and took a step forward. "Blast me then, come on, who's afraid of you?"

"Oh?" King Slime was somewhat surprised. "You coward, you're actually not acting cowardly today?"

Little Skeleton snorted coldly again. "Cowardly?" "When I had no strength, I accepted being a coward, but if I still act cowardly now that I have strength, wouldn't that mean my previous cowardice was all for nothing?"

Emmm... These words caused King Slime's brain to crash, unable to process the logic behind them.

The Iron-Eating Beast stopped exercising, rolled over, and started sowing discord between them. It first leaned into King Slime's ear and whispered.

"Big Brother, aren't you going to just wreck him? Anyway, if I were you, I absolutely couldn't tolerate this."

Then, it ran over to Little Skeleton's side and switched to a different pitch. "Second Brother, as long as you can take him down, I'll recognize you as my Big Brother from now on."

The next moment, Little Skeleton and King Slime's gazes converged on the Iron-Eating Beast simultaneously. "You little rascal, you dare to sow discord between us."

"Hmph, Little Two wants to usurp the throne, but aren't you doing the same, Little Three?"

The Iron-Eating Beast was dumbfounded. What's going on? Aren't you two supposed to be fighting each other? Why are you both staring at me?

Afterwards, King Slime and Little Skeleton exchanged a look and said in unison, "Let's kill this instigator first!"

Iron-Eating Beast: ??? Damn it!! "Run! A Slime and a Skeleton Soldier are daring to hunt down a national treasure!"

Watching the three clowns, Lu Yuan shook his head with a smile. "Which of you two wants to choose a new Hextech Rune first?"

Little Skeleton and King Slime stopped instantly and rushed back toward Lu Yuan. Little Skeleton was tall and large, holding an absolute advantage in movement speed, covering over a hundred meters in a single stride.

Amidst King Slime's cursing, it arrived before Lu Yuan first. "Master, I have arrived!"

"Master, I'm here too, pick for me first." King Slime followed closely behind. "First come, first served."

Seeing that the two Magic Pets were about to argue again, Lu Yuan quickly spoke up to stop them. "Alright, Little Skeleton goes first."

Immediately, King Slime crossed its arms, pouted angrily, and stayed silent. Little Skeleton was naturally very pleased with itself.

Lu Yuan opened the system panel. "Select Hextech Rune." Hum~! Accompanied by a humming sound, three cards flashing with different colors appeared out of thin air in front of Lu Yuan.

[Prismatic · Blade Waltz] Grants the skill, Blade Waltz. When activating this skill, you enter an untargetable state and perform multiple slashes on the target.

[Prismatic · Courage of the Colossus] After controlling an enemy unit, you gain a high amount of shield value.

[Gold · Steel Your Heart] Requirement: Heartsteel stacks must reach over 3 million. Effect: Rewards Heartsteel stacks with a 3x multiplier, and subsequent Heartsteel stacking effects gain a 3x multiplier.

… "Hiss!" "There are actually two Prismatics and one Gold?!" Lu Yuan gasped. And both of these Prismatics were quite good.

Blade Waltz indeed wasn't very suitable for Little Skeleton. However, Courage of the Colossus was suitable for every tank-type Magic Pet. Although Little Skeleton currently didn't have any control skills, it could just learn them. It would merely be a waste of a few skill scrolls.

But the appearance of the third option made Lu Yuan ignore these two Prismatic Hextech Runes entirely. "Steel Your Heart!" The synergy with Heartsteel was the most overpowered. "I choose Steel Your Heart."

After making his choice decisively, a golden light flashed over Little Skeleton. "Hahahaha... From now on, I will be the strongest Magic Pet under Master's command." "No one will be able to threaten my position as Big Brother anymore."

Little Skeleton was truly puffed up now. However, Heartsteel could indeed bring it a huge boost. Lu Yuan opened Little Skeleton's attribute panel.

[Skeleton Soldier (Demon Variant)] [Race Grade: Gold High-Tier] [Height: 56 meters] [Level: LV.30] [HP: 2709841] [MP: 3000] [Attack: 1090] [Strength: 109] [Constitution: 1300] [Agility: 150] [Spirit: 30] [Race Skill: Demon Body (High-Tier)] [Hextech Rune: Gold · Heartsteel (13231 Tank Engine Goliath Giant, Gold · Steel Your Heart]

… Steel Your Heart, although it had a requirement, 'Heartsteel' had to reach 3 million stacks to take effect! Currently, Heartsteel was only at over 1 million stacks. It seemed like there was still a long way to go to 3 million stacks.

However, as Little Skeleton's HP grew higher and higher, the number of Heartsteel stacks gained each time would also increase. At the current speed, it only needed to kill one wave in the wild to easily reach this goal.

By then, the existing Heartsteel stacks would directly receive a 3x multiplier. 3 million × 3, that's 9 million stacks!! Little Skeleton's HP would directly break through the 10 million mark!

Lu Yuan jumped up and patted Little Skeleton's knee. "You have to keep it up, little guy." Little Skeleton also sensed the new skill it had acquired and was very excited.

"Master, rest assured, this King Skeleton will definitely become your most solid shield." "As long as this King Skeleton is here, no one will be able to harm a single hair on Master's head."

Clearly, along with the increase in strength, Little Skeleton had completely turned into the shape of King Slime. It had already started referring to itself as "this King."

Nearby, King Slime and the Iron-Eating Beast couldn't be bothered with other matters and quickly crowded over, wanting to see what new Hextech Rune Little Skeleton had acquired.

After seeing the effect of Steel Your Heart, the Iron-Eating Beast's eyes turned green with envy. "Damn! This is too overpowered..." "King Skeleton, from now on, you are the only Big Brother for this Iron-Eating Beast."

The Iron-Eating Beast patted its own chest, making a booming sound, and decisively chose its side. King Slime, however, was completely depressed. "My position as Big Brother is no longer safe."

At this rate of improvement for Little Skeleton, its maximum HP would become increasingly overpowered, perhaps soon reaching a point that was incomprehensible.

However, King Slime never cared how much HP others had. Because it had noble percentage-based True Damage!! No matter how high your HP is, I'll just use percentage-based True Damage. How many of my bombardments can you withstand?

But the key problem is, this insidious Skeleton has Heartsteel. The higher the HP, the higher the damage. If it really stacks up tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in max HP, what if it 'steels' me to death in one hit?

This... King Slime frowned deeply, falling into a dilemma. It seemed somewhat unsolvable. Does it have to kneel on the spot?? No, absolutely impossible!

This King Slime, even if slapped to death by Little Skeleton, must never surrender before a fight. I won't admit defeat on the spot! "King Skeleton, I was just joking with you before." King Slime grinned, revealing an incredibly friendly smile, tilting its head and acting cute. ... ...
