Only I Level Up By Shoveling-Chapter 96: "Free Fall"
Before the fireball hit Castra’s head, the toilet spirit immediately transformed into its toilet form and swallowed the fire ball in one go.
Boom!
The fireball exploded inside the toilet spirit’s body and the toilet spirit’s form instantly shook, quickly reverting back into its foggy state.
"Ouch! Ouch! That’s hot! Hot!"
The toilet spirit’s black fog reddened and sparks of fire flashed through its foggy body.
Castra even felt as if he saw smoke rising from the fog spirit!
Damn, for a mere fireball to "injure" a B-rank spirit like this...although the toilet spirit was suppressed to C-rank, still!
Castra became more vigilant about the fireballs and instead of hitting them with his shovel, he dodged instead.
What if Llyod melted because of those balls??
Garfin and Lady Fera used their own abilities to shoo away the fireballs or freeze them with ice.
In no time, the night attack was successfully curbed, but when they tried to find the mastermind...
They saw nothing but a piece of black-red feather.
"Is this a crow feather?" Castra picked up the feather and almost dropped it the next second.
Ouch! Hot!
Garfin waved his paw and the wind picked up the feather, bringing it closer to the three spirits.
"Meow, meow, it’s a crow’s feather, meow!"
"Fufufu, so the culprit is a crow..."
Lady Fera’s nails glinted viciously as she imagined tearing through the crow’s body.
Castra himself felt that something was wrong.
"How come it’s so coincidental that I’m here to look for a crow and then we are attacked by a crow?"
"Meow? Meow? Maybe some of those birdies tipped you off, meow!"
Garfin flung the feather away in one go and slapped the ground with his tail.
"This birdie is such a coward, not even daring to see us, meow!"
It only dared to launch a sneak attack!
But no matter how Castra and the others searched the entire island, they really didn’t find the crow, as if it vanished out of thin air.
"Fufufu, I think it has camouflage skill or an invisible skill."
If that’s true...no wonder the deadline was 3 days!
Castra had a headache and his mood soured.
The potential target ran away and they were woken up at 3 a.m!
After that, the three spirits couldn’t fall into a deep sleep anymore, remaining half-awake until the sun rose.
The moment the sun rose....
The same booming voice suddenly blasted throughout the island.
"INTRUDERRRR...LEAVE...."
The hoarse, scratchy voice was so loud that Garfin jumped three feet high and almost fell flat on his face.
"Meowww! What’s wrong with this bastard, meow?! You wanna fight, meoww??!"
Garfin dashed towards the source of the voice, so fast that he looked like a whirlwind, but even so, he didn’t see any living beings.
....is that a ghost??
The three spirits woke up with an irritable mood and they started to rummage through the island once more, this time poking some areas to see if there were some invisible beings.
The three spirits didn’t know that far above them, close to the sun, a sneaky figure was watching their frantic search with visible anxiety.
"Kaw! Kaw! Kaw! Why are these bastards searching through this venerable’s house?!"
"Ka! Ka! What are those dumb birds doing, spilling out this venerable’s hidden sunbathing spot?!"
"Kaw! Kaw! Kaw! What to do? What to do? Those idiots even survive the fireball attack!"
"Ka! Ka! Should this venerable show those idiots the original form and then scare them, hmmm..."
The sneaky future jumped up and down on the clouds closest to the sun, not being bothered by the heat at all.
If anything, as the sunlight started to get stronger, the sneaky being slowly yawned and plopped on the clouds, revealing its belly to the sun.
"Sighhhh...the rock is still the most comfortable, kaaa..."
While the three spirits down there were close to turning the whole island upside down, the sneaky being slowly felt bored and started to brew mischievous ideas.
"Ka, Ka, Ka, those land animals and the two-legged beast can’t fly, right? How about...caw! Caw! Caw!"
The sneaky being laughed in an eerie tone and silently flapped its wings, blowing a magical wind towards the cloud island.
The moment the wind touched the island, the entire cloud island instantly shook!
"Ah! What the hellllll— "
"Meow! Meow! Earthquake!!"
"Fufufu, fufufu, it feels more like a storm? Is there a storm incoming or something, woof?"
The tremor slowly became bigger and before the three spirits could react...
The whole cloud island actually flipped upside down!
Garfin quickly used his small wings to fly and Lady Fera controlled a mini blizzard to keep her floating, but Castra....
"Ahhhhh!!!"
The poor human instantly plummeted from the sky, straight towards the distant ground! 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"Aaaaaa— "
If he fell from this height, would he die??
At that moment, Poo clicked in on time.
[Good meowninggg, host! What a nice day— GAHHHH! What are you doing, host?!]
[Don’t you see that I’m about to die???]
Castra felt like vomiting blood but before he could really hit the ground, the toilet spirit immediately transformed into a toilet, slid right beneath Castra’s b*tt and caught him steadily.
Bang!
"Uakh! My tailbone!!"
Castra saw stars above his head and almost fainted, so he didn’t see the poor Dudu already thrown somewhere far away, becoming a tiny dot in the sky.
"DUUUUUU— "
Masterrrrrr! Save Dudu!!! QAQ
Castra didn’t have time to save Dudu, so the kind Lady Fera was the one grabbing Dudu from afar and tossing it back to Castra!
Only then did Castra calm down somewhat and look at the toilet spirit with a thoughtful face.
"Say, you can float, right? How about..."
A few decades later...
The toilet spirit huffed and puffed, finally reaching the cloud island but before it could even land on the upside-down island—
The surroundings suddenly darkened.
From behind, a gigantic shadow slowly rose, blocking the sun above.
"Huh...?"
The shadow spread its wings and—
