Strongest Necromancer Of Heaven's Gate

Colette and the other Dwarves flocked to the items that were dropped by the Mutated Carbuncle.

The monster egg stood at the center of it all, catching everyone's attention.

"This egg is without a doubt a Carbuncle's egg," Colette said with sparkling eyes. She then began to gently touch the egg as if it was a priceless treasure that she had seen for the very first time.

Helen also touched the egg just like Colette. This was the first time she had seen a monster drop an egg, so she was quite surprised when she saw it.

Since the two girls were busy touching the egg all over, Matty and the others busied themselves with organizing the rest of the loot that they had acquired.

One of them was a red jewel that was as big as Lux's hand. This jewel, which could be found on the Carbuncle's forehead, was very precious, and many merchants were willing to buy it at a very high price.

The second item was the Mutated Carbuncle's purple fur. This was another top tier item that could be used as a carpet, a blanket, and even clothes which were perfect to wear in places with cold weather.

The third item was the monster's meat, which also fetched a decent price in the market. Since rabbit meat is quite popular in Leaf Village, the meat of this Alpha Beast was considered to be a rare delicacy.

Last, but not the least, was the Mutated Carbuncle's Beast Core. It was the size of a bowling ball and had a bright purple color. Although it was a Rank 3 Beast Core, it was bigger than a regular one, which meant that the number of skill or stat points that could be gained from it would not be less than fifty.

"Nice haul," Lux said as he crossed his arms on his chest. "Congratulations for beating your first Alpha Beast."

The Dwarves who were in cloud nine were broken out of their daze after they heard Lux's words. All of them stopped what they were doing and looked in his direction as if they had completely forgotten about him.

It was at that moment when they remembered that the one who played a major role in subjugating the Mutated Carbuncle was none other than the Half-Elf in front of them. If Lux wasn't there, all of them might have been seriously injured. As for the worst case scenario? They might have all died fighting the Mutated Monster that came out of nowhere.

"B-Big Brother, these spoils of war should belong to you," Colette stuttered while looking at Lux with teary eyes. Her hands were still latched onto the egg like a Koala hugging a tree, which made the red-headed teenager laugh due to how adorable she looked.

"Don't worry, all the loot for this hunt is for you guys," Lux replied. "As you can see, with my current strength, it will not be a problem for me to hunt another Carbuncle. If you still find this unfair then just think of it as an older brother giving gifts to his little brothers and sisters. It's fine that way, right?"

Colette immediately let go of the Monster Egg and ran towards Lux, jumping into his arms.

"Big Brother, you are the best!" Colette shouted happily as Lux spun her round and round.

After spinning the little girl a few times, Lux finally set her back down on the ground. Colette then glanced at the egg then back at Lux before voicing her thoughts.

"Big Brother, you can take the egg," Colette said. "The eggs of Alpha Beasts are very rare, especially mutated ones. Even my sister didn't get one when she was in the Beginner's Village."

Lux shook his head firmly. "No. I don't need it. However, promise me that you will raise that Carbuncle with love and care. Since it is a support type monster, it will help you and Helen heal your party members when things get rough.

"I will be able to have more peace of mind knowing that you guys have an extra healer supporting you in your adventures. So, just take the egg and the other items."

"Big Brother, are you sure you really don't want it?" Colette asked with a serious expression on her face.

"I'm sure. Just keep everything for yourselves." Lux smiled as he glanced at the rewards that he had obtained from killing the Mutated Carbuncle in his Soul Book.

The reason why Lux didn't want to fight the children with the distribution of the loot was due to the fact that he had already acquired a set of items on his own. Since that was the case, asking for more would be too greedy of him.

Besides, he really liked Colette and the others. He thought that it would be best to just let the kids enjoy their first attempt at challenging an Alpha Monster as a team.

Since the egg wasn't an item that could be stored inside the Enchanted Beast Ring, Lux and the others carefully placed it inside the carriage. Matty was assigned to put the egg on his lap to ensure that the bumps on the road wouldn't break it.

Everyone was in a good mood as they returned to Leaf Village. The distribution of the loots was done as follows.

Colette would take the monster egg because she was the leader of the group.

The boys decided to give the monster fur to Helen as compensation.

Matty, Andy, and Axel, on the other hand, would sell the Carbuncle's Jewel, and share the profits that they would gain from it.

Since Lux didn't get anything, Colette decided to scribble something on a piece of paper and handed it to Lux.

The Half-Elf couldn't help but chuckle after reading its contents, which made Colette's face turn beet red due to embarrassment.

One Shoulder Massage Ticket.

That was what was written on the piece of paper that Colette gave Lux, which made Matty extremely envious. If possible, he would give Lux his share of the gold coins they would receive for selling the Carbuncle's Jewel in exchange for the shoulder massage ticket in his hand.

Naturally, he couldn't voice this out loud, so he had no choice but to glare at the Half-Elf who acquired a very precious ticket that he would fight to get.

As soon as their merry little band entered Leaf Village, Lux noticed Boreas, as well as the middle-aged Dwarf, Nevreal, who was also Robin's caretaker, standing by one of the sides of the gate. There were other Goat Riders beside them, which made Lux wonder if they were planning to go on a mission somewhere.

However, before their carriage could drive past them, Boreas called out to Lux.

"Lux Von Kaizer, do you have some time today?" Boreas asked. "There is something very important that we need to talk about. Why don't you follow me to the barracks for now?"

Lux frowned, but still nodded his head. Although he didn't know why Boreas and Nevreal were waiting for him at the gates of the village, he could tell that the matter they wanted to discuss was a serious one.
