Chapter 1113 The Little Ones’ Courage [Part 1]

The sound of explosions reverberated in the surroundings as a battle between Calamity-Ranked Monsters raged across the territories that were under the protection of the Stronghold of Norria.

Lilian, who had come to protect Leaf Town, had joined the fray and made sure to push her opponents as far away from the town as possible.

However, due to the sheer number of enemies, some were able to get past her defenses and attacked the Beginner Town that held a special place in Lux's heart.

Two Empyrean-Ranked Monsters and a dozen Dreadnaughts sneakily slipped past Lilian, taking a detour while she was busy dealing with three Calamity-Ranked Monsters at the same time.

There were hundreds of Deimos-Ranked Monsters that had done the same, spreading to the nearby villages.

The two Empyrean Ranked Monsters, alongside their cronies, headed to Leaf Town. nove-Lb/1n

Four Dreadnaughts and over sixty Deimos-Ranked Monsters accompanied their leaders.

There were also countless Low-Ranked Abyssal Monsters who followed them as well.

This force was enough to easily destroy a city in the Kingdom of Gweliven that wasn't protected by a Saint.

The only saving grace was that Leaf Town was protected by a barrier. But even with this extra layer of defense, the Town would still be hard-pressed to protect itself.

The Calamity-Ranked Monsters that Lux had stationed there were also fighting with other Calamity-Ranked Monsters.

Similar to Lilian, they had brought their opponents away from the Town to ensure that it wouldn't be affected by a battle that could easily change the topography of the land.

"Hah! Fresh meat!" One of the Empyrean Ranked Monsters, which was a Red Ogre with tusks on its lower jaw, laughed. "Destroy the barrier!"

Its subordinates bombarded the barrier with their attacks, making the residents of Leaf Town cower inside their homes.

Grandma Annie was tightly hugging Laura and Livia, who were shaking in fear of the explosions that were happening around them.

Their two Baby Slimes, Cora and Nora, were already teary-eyed, yet despite being scared as well, the two girls were doing their best to calm their slimes down.

'At this rate, the barrier will not hold,' Grandma Annie thought. 'The moment it breaks, all of us will be doomed.'

She wasn't the only one who was having this thought.

Cedwyn, Randolph, and the Elders of Leaf Town were thinking of the same thing.

However, there was nothing they could do about it.

They were simply too weak to face off against the monsters that were dead set on breaking the barrier that served as their last line of defense.

Heidi and her mother, Lilia, were looking at the barrier through their window.

The Rank 5 Monster roared in anger and glared at the Baby Slime that had attacked it.

Cedie roared back and threw another Blast Bomb, hitting the monster again in the face, making the latter cry out in pain.

Seeing this scene, all the baby slimes started to summon their own Blast Bombs as well.

They then began throwing the bombs towards the monsters, with some of them not even aiming at anything.

Some of the baby slimes were crying tears as they threw their Blast Bombs, while some were like Cedie, fighting their fear as they fought with everything they had.

Soon, thousands of Blast Bombs were exploding left and right, making the Lower-Ranked Abyssal Monsters back away due to the accumulating damage that they were receiving from the Baby Slimes who decided to fight back.

Seeing this scene, the people of Leaf Village felt ashamed of themselves.

Some of them treated the Baby Slimes as pets, others treated them as friends, while others treated them as family members.

But no matter what relationship they shared with them, all of them felt bitter because the weakest members of their community were actually the ones who were fighting on their behalf.

"Fire Ball!" Grandma Annie shouted as she hurled a fireball toward one of the Low-Ranked Monsters, obliterating it completely.

Soon, more people joined, until almost everyone who could fight in Leaf Town joined the bombardment.

Since their Baby Slimes were fighting with everything they had, they would fight alongside them as well!

Suddenly, Eiko's statue, which was perched on top of her Papa's head, glowed brightly.

The Blast Bombs that the Baby Slimes were throwing left and right stopped mid-air and fused together.

At first, the Baby Slimes were confused about why this was happening. However, something was telling them to continue throwing bombs in the air.

After a brief pause, they resumed throwing their Blast Bombs, which all merged with the other Blast Bombs that were floating mid-air.

Half a minute later, a Blast Bomb that was as big as a basketball ball glowed in a dangerous light.

This was the compressed Blast Bombs of all the Baby Slimes in Leaf Town, and it flew towards the two Empyrean-Ranked Monsters at the back of the Abyssal Formation.

Looking at the Blast Bomb in disdain, the Red Ogre used his wooden club to strike it.

It would soon realize that it had made the biggest mistake in its life.

The moment his wooden club hit the concentrated Blast Bomb, a nuclear-level explosion erupted, obliterating all the Abyssal Monsters within a mile-long radius.

A beam of light shot out from the Guardian Statue, reinforcing the barrier that was protecting Leaf Town.

Even though everyone outside was burned to a crisp, the barrier held firm, protecting Leaf Town from the raging inferno and shockwave that had spread across the land.

This made some of the Defenders, as well as the Abyssal Monsters they were fighting, look in the direction of Leaf Town with surprised looks on their faces.
