SSS-Rank Poop Shoveler Spirit-Chapter 109: "Are They...Fairies?"

The scream was so piercing that everyone subconsciously winced and looked at the source of the noise—

It was the human-faced plant, Mandrake.

The Mandrake spirit trapped in the pot actually grew legs and...ran.

Yeah, it ran.

Mario and those who knew about the Mandrake Spirit instantly turned pale.

"Damn it! Everyone! Follow the Mandrake! Leave! Leave! Leave!"

Mario grabbed the youngsters and dragged Romeo, who was still unconscious, sweat trickled down his face.

Crowie, who was sitting on Castra's head also chirped and spoke in a shrill voice,

"Caw! Caw! Caw! You're about to be torn to pieces, caw! Caw!"

Castra: ....? Me?

Whoever it was, with both the Mandrake and the crow sending a warning signal, Castra didn't dare to slow down.

He immediately dashed with the rest of the youngsters, swiftly moving away from the hanging vine area and the thick bushes, but...

The thing that everyone feared still appeared.

"Grrrrrr...."

A low growl sounded from a corner and soon, more and more similar sounds echoed throughout all corners, as if the whole forest was filled with the same creature.

The group kept following behind the running Mandrake but one of the youngsters couldn't help but look back.

It was at that time that the youngster almost tripped and fell, her jaw dropped so wide that it could fit an egg.

"W-w-w-wha-what...what is that??"

The young girl felt like she was about to go crazy.

Right behind them, the whole forest darkened, not because of the clouds or the sun but because of a dense, large group of flying creatures covering half of the forest.

"Grrrrrr— "

Looking closer, the creatures were only the size of a palm, but their sheer number and the strange noises they emitted from their mouths sent chills down everyone's spine.

Mario, who heard the young girl's shriek, quickly took a look and almost tripped over a thick tree root.

Damn it!

"What's wrong with the Elven Forest today?? Aren't they fairies??"

Yes, those small creatures were tiny humanoid with butterfly-like wings, sharp elf-like ears and cute faces— or not.

Even from afar, Mario could see the hideous faces resembling tree barks, a far cry from the usual fairies in the Elven Forest!

It was as if he suddenly entered the Forest of Death...

Those fairies really looked like miniature versions of goblins!

As the fairies growled in a beast-like voice, their sharp, seesaw-like teeth glinted in the dark, truly made one's heart drop to the stomach.

"Meow, meow, this is the first time this king has seen such a fairy, meow, " Garfin swished his tail and perked his ears.

If he caught one as a souvenir, would his kitties at home like to play with this fairy?

But the fairy was so ugly that his kitties might cry on the spot.

Forget it.

"Meow, meow, the Elven Forest today feels so wrong, meow..."

First, there were the Man-eating plants that looked like devil plants.

The hanging vines were native species and they looked normal, but the fairies?

They were famous for being naughty, but they would never look so terrifying!

And how come such a large number of fairies gathered at once?

Fairies weren't as common as butterflies and bees!

Castra himself saw a glimpse of the fairies and almost fainted.

"Ahhh! Everyone! Run faster! Faster! Those fairies are inching closer!!"

Castra warned the youngsters but the voice of the Mandrake's cry mixed with the low growl all over the forest buried his voice.

"Is there anyone with a barrier skill? Any spirit? We can't go on like this!"

Mario shouted on top of his lungs, but again, the others didn't hear him.

Even worse, because the forest was too dense, some people...veered off the track, getting farther from the main group yet didn't even realize it.

Even the spirits didn't notice anything wrong, each of them also running for their lives, afraid that those fairies wouldn't just attack summoners but also the spirits!

Thirty seconds, one minute...

The fairies were already a few meters away, so close that Castra could hear the buzzing sound of their wings and their clattering teeth.

"Clack. Clack. Clack."

"Grrrrrr— "

Damn it. Don't tell him these fairies eat humans?

These fairies are not vegetarians, ah!

Sensing the fairies inching closer, Mario finally shouted while commanding Archie,

"Anyone with a long-range attack spirit, use your skills and attack the fairies!"

"Now! Hurry!"

"Archie, shoot your arrows! Make the fairies disperse!"

This time, the other summoners heard a few keywords and they immediately asked their spirits to attack while they kept running for their lives.

Soon, a horde of fire arrows and all sorts of long-range attacks shot out, landing straight on the dense number of fairies.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Sparks flew, flames exploded and smoke covered everyone's eyesight.

The fire from the explosion even spread to the surrounding leaves and trees, instantly triggering some living plants.

"Ssshhh! Shhhh!"

The plants moved agitatedly, and the group of young people quickly distanced themselves, their eyes focused on the thick smoke around the fairies.

"D-did we kill them?"

"It should be, right? It was such a huge explosion, those weak fairies shouldn't be able to survive— "

The person just planted a death flag.

Before the smoke even fully dissipated, blurry shadows shot out of the thick smoke, pouncing on the nearest young men and women.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

"Kiiiiiii!"

A high-pitched, excited scream sounded from all corners.

The next second...

The youngsters felt a tearing pain all over their bodies.

"Uakh!"

"Ah!"

"Aaaaa— "

Blood spurted out and a densely packed shadow immediately crowded around the source of the blood, covering the prey from head to toe until not even an inch of skin could be seen!

"AHHHHH— "

The person covered by the blurry shadows let out a heart-wrenching scream as blood continued to splash, dying the smoke and the mist red, even splashing the ground and the leaves.

The smell of blood quickly spread and then...

The person fell silent.
