Chapter 486 - Skysilver\'s Behavior
After the crew overcame their initial fear of the rat tide, they watched Aria Rivera slaughter numerous rats with ease like she was cutting down weeds.
The lives of rats were too cheap.
"Haiz, you don\'t get to see Transcendents fight often." A crewmate sighed with amazement at the breathtaking sight.
The crewmate beside him nodded, "Right, better keep our eyes peeled and enjoy the sight while we can."
"Of course!"
As Aria controlled the Ice Lotus Sword Formation to slaughter thousands of rats, she would descend and stab a few rats with her Tier 3 Steel Sword and send them Leon\'s way from time to time.
After draining the blood from the rat carcasses, Leon tossed them off the airship and resumed his pill refinement.
Within minutes, a batch of few dozen exploding pills was completed before Leon cooled them down and stored them into empty pill bottles.
As the idle crew watched Aria kill rats from the airship\'s side railing, they suddenly noticed the prince making his way over.
"Is there something you need, Your Highness?" One of them asked respectfully.
"Not really." Leon shook his head and said, "But you all look bored, so I will give you some work. Here, take this and go play with them."
The bottle of exploding pills was shortly passed over to them.
As the crew had yet to witness the magic of the exploding pills, they gazed at the pill bottle curiously before asking, "What do you want just to do with this, Your Highness? Do we eat them?"
"If you eat them, you will die and blow up the entire airship along with you," Leon said with a teasing smile while picturing the powerful blast caused by the chain reaction of all the exploding pills going off.
"What?"
The crew was immediately shocked and stepped away from the person holding onto the exploding pill bottle like he was holding a hot potato.
At the same time, the person\'s hands could be seen shaking nervously before he asked with dry lips, "Y-You\'re joking, right? Your Highness?"
"Nope! These are called exploding pills. You pinch them until you feel the crack before quickly throwing them away." Leon explained after recalling the incident with Supreme Elder Haldir.
He took out an exploding pill and demonstrated it for the crew to see by doing exactly as he had explained before tossing it into the rat tide below.
Boom!
The loud explosion quickly startled the crew, causing them to jump in fright at the sight of the quick burst of flames swallowing hundreds of rats in an instance.
"Holy sh*t!"
"F*ck!"
The crew quickly exclaimed with curses.
Leon nodded approvingly, expecting such reactions from the crew. After refining several batches of exploding pills, he had come up with a new formula and improved the exploding pills\' destructiveness by 30%.
Shortly after Leon went back to pill refining, a crewmate patted his chest and said, "Good lord, that gave me a scare!"
"Why do these pills remind me of a particular elderly person back in the capital?" said another one while his lips twitched.
Nevertheless, the crew shortly began fighting over the exploding pills as they were eager to test its destructiveness with their own hands.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions went off from time to time as Leon refined more batches of exploding pills while Aria continued to supply him with the rat carcasses during the period.
Sometime later, Leon glanced at the dozens of bottles containing several hundreds of exploding pills in his Worldspace and wondered if he might have overdone it a little.
If an accident caused them all to explode at once, it would be a grand spectacle to behold. There was so much firepower it could probably obliterate the capital in an instance.
Leon\'s lips twitched at the thought.
Nevertheless, he quickly shook his head and called out, "Aria, we\'re leaving!"
"We are done here?" Aria asked shortly after returning to the airship. Beads of sweat could be seen on her forehead from the extensive battle with rats.
It was unknown how many rats she had slaughtered during this period, but several hundreds of thousands was definitely a safe estimate.
"Un."
Leon nodded.
A clean cloth appeared in his hand as he wiped the sweat off her face while saying with a smile, "You worked hard."
"Hehe!"
Aria enjoyed Leon\'s tender care.
"Your bottle, Your Highness." A crewmate shortly returned the pill bottle back to Leon.
Leon glanced at the empty bottle before gazing over the burning fields below and casually said, "Well, you all certainly had your fun playing with the exploding pills."
"That\'s for sure!" A crewmate responded excitedly.
After getting elbow-nudged in the hip by one of the other crewmates besides him, the person stepped back apologetically, "Excuse my manners, Your Highness. I was too excited."
Leon waved his hand nonchalantly, expressing that he did not care about such manners of formality and did not mind.
He turned to the captain and said, "Take us back to Elvengarde, captain."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The captain nodded.
Shortly after the captain barked out his orders, the airship began rising in altitude and rotated towards the Elder Tree\'s direction.
The nearby Skysilver Beast King shortly noticed their intention to leave and suddenly gave a mighty howl, "Awooo!"
Not surprisingly, the crew was given a scare.
"Oh no, is the Transcendent-level wolf going to attack us?!" One of the crew asked nervously.
Leon frowned before gazing back at the Skysilver Beast King in the distance. Noticing the new wounds all over its body, he said to the captain, "Give me a moment."
Shortly after, he flew over to the Skysilver Beast King within the field of charred-black rat carcasses, devoid of any live rats due to the surrounding flames that had yet to be snuffed out.
The Skysilver Beast King simply sat on its back legs and watched Leon approach without any intention to attack. It remembered this human.
After Leon landed nearby, he cleaned its wounds and made it swallow several large dosages of tier 3 healing pills due to its big build.
The Skysilver Beast King wagged its three tails happily as its wounds quickly healed before catching Leon off-guard with a sudden lick, slobbering his entire body in its rat blood-mixed saliva.
"F*ck!" Leon cursed.
His angry cursing immediately made the Skysilver Beast King whimpered with its head down like it had done something wrong.
As Leon wiped away the blood-mixed saliva from his face, he noticed its behavior and could not help but think the Skysilver Beast King was behaving like a pet dog.
