Only I Level Up By Shoveling-Chapter 42: "Another Mark??"
The hidden implication prickled Garfin’s heart and he almost flew into a rage!
Fine, fine, you human bastards.
Not only did you look down on this king, you also looked down on the beast lord, thinking that the beast lord can’t go against so many humanoid lords, right??
This time, even the samoyed who was keen on blocking Garfin also furrowed her eyebrows.
She didn’t mind the officers capturing criminals, but looking at their attitude...just these lowly officers dared to look down on the entire Beast Paradise and the Beast Lord?!
The samoyed who was always smiling suddenly stopped smiling and growled in a deeper voice.
"Officers. What makes you think you can come to my place without permission?"
As if to respond to the samoyed’s current mood, the blizzard came harder and stronger than before, whipping Castra and everyone else in the face.
Even when the officers were fire element spirits, they could feel their feet slowly freezing into an ice sculpture.
The surviving officers swallowed their pride and hastily tried to appease the big bosses.
"W-we got legal permission from the Fire Lord to catch the transmigrator wherever he is..."
The female officer took out the Fire Lord’s token that was given out to a few officers in order to catch or obliterate spirits on the spot, without concerning other factions.
When the samoyed spirit saw the Fire Lord’s token, her eyes widened and her entire body trembled— in anger.
"Woooof! You filthy dogs of the Fire Lord! Do you think with the token, this lady will tremble in fear and let you do as you wish in my own turf?!"
Why couldn’t these officers inform her first instead of directly entering her territory to catch people?
These people...they just looked down on beast spirits like her!
"Intruders, I’ll teach you how to behave!"
At the samoyed’s words, the distant mountain shook fiercely, along with the ground beneath everyone’s feet.
Grrrkkk! Grrrkkk!
The snow rolled down from the nearby mountain, sweeping like the ocean’s wave.
Amidst the earthquake, avalanche and the blizzard, something even more shocking happened in front of everyone.
The distant mountain...the mountain actually "woke up".
Yes. The mountain slowly rose to the sky, blocking the sun and the moon.
Darkness enveloped everyone’s head and soon, the huge mountain started to move bit by bit, starting from the top of the mountain.
The mountain peaks twitched and snow rolled down, revealing the mountain peaks’ true appearance— a pair of wolf ears.
Then, the snow rolled down even further, revealing the long snout, the neck, the chest...
Everything was revealed.
But that was not the end.
Soon, huge "moons" appeared in the sky out of the blue, shining at everyone down below as if they were ants.
Ba-thump!
Castra felt his heart stop beating for a few seconds.
The huge "moons" didn’t stay in the sky but slowly came closer and closer...
At a certain distance, even amidst the fierce blizzard, Castra saw the true nature of the moons.
They were actually...a pair of silver eyes.
Those were the eyes of the mountain that had just moved.
No, it wasn’t even a mountain in the first place.
It was a huge snow wolf.
The wolf slowly revealed its waist and sturdy legs that were once the foot of the mountain.
The gigantic snow wolf lowered its head and an ethereal voice that seemed to come from the depth of space slowly echoed in everyone’s mind.
[Intruders....]
Castra felt needles stabbing his brain and his consciousness was blurred for a split second.
Unknown to him, he was already bleeding from all seven orifices. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Not to mention the freshly-minted E-rank spirit like Castra, even the fire officers who were C-rank spirits also bleed from their ears and noses.
Some even coughed up blood on the spot!
Just one word almost crushed everyone’s mind, except for Garfin and the samoyed spirit.
Garfin squinted his eyes and glared at the samoyed spirit.
"Meow, how dare you use your true body in front of my weak slave?? My slave is about to die!"
The samoyed spirit giggled and wagged her tail.
"Fufufu, sorry, sorry, I just want to intimidate the intruders~ "
The intruders were not intimidated. They were about to die!
The same as Castra.
He couldn’t even feel his consciousness and could only vaguely hear Poo screaming with Dudu.
[Host...you....hang...on...]
"Du....du!! Duuuuu— "
The poop system’s urgent alarm blared in Castra’s mind and a red panel popped up, filling Castra’s blurry eyesight.
DUNG! [Warning! Warning! The host’s vitality is declining rapidly ••• ]
Hearing the system’s notification, Castra smiled weakly and then looked at his two closest family members with tears in his eyes.
"Poo, Dudu...I...I leave all my wealth to you..."
Dudu and Poo looked at Castra’s 0 balance with a poker face for a second before weeping loudly the next second.
[Host! Host! Don’t go— ]
"Duuuuu!!"
Castra let go of all obsessions and closed his eyes, waiting for the grim reaper spirit to come and escort him.
Even the samoyed spirit trotted towards Castra and put her paw on his cheek, as if to comfort the dying spirit...
Then,
SLAP!
The dog slapped Castra’s cheek mercilessly and Castra’s soul that was about to leave his body immediately jolted back into the body.
"Ouch!! Milady, what are you doing— achoo!"
"Ssshhh. This lady is helping you!" The samoyed spirit frowned as she looked at the glowing paw print on Castra’s left cheek.
Castra couldn’t see the mark but he could feel his dry mana slowly recovering and his feeble vitality growing stronger and stronger, almost back to the original state.
Uh...just one slap could heal him?
Awesome!
But, wait, the fur...
Castra’s whole body turned red and he felt like he was about to die from the allergy.
"Ahh! M-milady— achoo! Please keep your distance! I have an allergy— achoo!"
The samoyed ignored Castra’s plea and waited until the dog paw print fully disappeared, only then did she nod with ease.
"Fufufu~ I have left my mark on you, human. Be grateful! Without this mark, you should have disappeared into nothingness!"
....wait what? Another mark??
