Chapter 1289: The Husky Has Stopped Thinking
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The appearance of the giant, silver wolf had wreaked havoc on the cultists.
If there was anything worse than seeing a boss transform and come back to life after you had finally defeated it, it was a boss evolving for a second time and getting ready to whack you again when you were already half-dead.
The few cultists, who had been bitten and become paralyzed on the ground, felt precisely as the description above.
The enlarged husky could not care less about what the cultists were thinking. She was full of anger, and readily unleashed the enormous power brought on by the Spicy Sticks. She howled at first, which made the cultists stagger and feel disoriented. The husky then lowered her head to stare at the squirming, little humans on the ground.
Count Willie stared at the alpha. Two golden eyes, each as big as a human head, were staring back at him. The alpha bared its fangs, which glinted in a cold light. They were as sharp as daggers, sending a chill up the spine of the cult follower, who had dedicated his life to the Lord of Chaos, Lockmarton.
Other than the cultists who were keeping the knights, Sanctum warriors, and beasts busy, the other surviving members of the Cult of Armageddon had gathered around the two secret sects. These cultists, despite facing the giant wolf, still displayed extraordinary courage by brandishing their swords and lunging at the giant wolf.
“Lockmarton is the greatest!”
The swords hit Lily’s claws, creating dazzling sparks. A few fireballs bonked Lily near the nose, almost throwing her off balance. But aside from that, the explosions did little damage to her. If the powerful cult mage, Lamore were there, he would have been a significant threat to the giant wolf. But Hao Ren had finished the powerful mages off in the White City earlier. The eruption of the Light of Order two days ago had also wounded the men whom Willie had brought. Those people were no longer a threat to Lily in her great wolf body.
The giant husky—irritated by the smoke—sneezed a few times. She suddenly decided to drop and roll her body on the ground.
She learned this skill after her many fights with smaller enemies. It may not have looked elegant, but it was simple, crude, and effective.
The damage that a rolling, five-meter giant husky could cause was terrific. What was even more terrible was the fact that husky bit people while she rolled on the ground. The cultists screamed and ran for their dear lives, yet they were still not able to escape the ultimate death; the giant wolf crushed them under her body. Horgus’ Hut was not spared too. Lily’s body hit the house several times as she rolled, and a piece of load bearing wall collapsed, bringing half of the building down.
Lily had become addicted to the action. She was too excited to remember why she was doing that in the first place. Lily rolled to the edge of the level ground, then down the hillock. Her actions kicked up clouds of dust and shook the earth as she moved out of the battlefield.
Willie and Lavinia watched as the giant wolf disappeared from their sights. Lockmarton must have protected them—they remained unscathed.
So what happened then?
The duo saw that as an opportunity. Once the giant wolf came back up, they would not be able to escape anymore!
The two siblings looked at each other, apparently coming to a decision. Willie took out a dagger and used it to slit his finger. “The great lord will be gloried by our sacrifice,” said Willie.
Willie’s dagger looked weird, as it was crooked like a shriveled finger. It was black on one side and white on the other, glowing in a turbid halo and having no practical uses based on its shape. It was more of a prop in a sacrificial ceremony.
Lavinia nodded and slit her palm. “The future will be revealed!” she chanted.
Their dark red blood quickly gathered on the ground and burned with a blazing black flame.
Lavinia and Willie’s faces were pale, and their spirits faded quickly. The two of them had sacrificed themselves to the evil dark master to escape.
“With my life, I beg you. Please give your humble believers a door; let us break into the dark Chaos!”
When the smoke and dust finally dissipated, the crazy siblings were gone.
Not far away, Hao Ren had seen everything. Lily’s uncontrollable rolling had caught Hao Ren by surprise as it was too bizarre and sudden. But when the Kant Siblings escaped, Hao Ren did not stop them, because he saw the divine plastic plate in Lavinia’s arms. Hao Ren was able to see that the cultists had sealed the disc with dark magic through his semi-divine senses.
Just that, those cultists did not know how powerful a real divine object could be. The seal was useless against the disc, which contained Raven 12345’s divine power. Her divine power was surging out from the inside, but the mortals could not perceive it. Only Hao Ren, the pope of Raven 12345, could see the divine power.
The Kant Siblings’ escape was not an accident. Hao Ren had allowed them to flee with the disc because he knew, after a while, the disc would bring about a big surprise.
Meanwhile, Lily had finally ground to a halt at the foothill. The husky staggered to her feet and was surprised to find that she was no longer where she thought she was.
“Did I just roll down the hill?” Lily asked herself.
Dirt and gravel covered Lily from head to toe, and under her claws were the mutilated bodies of two cult members.
“Come back up!” Hao Ren stood on the edge of the hillock and shouted at Lily, who was at the bottom of the hill.
The sudden and inexplicable battle was finally over. Hao Ren transformed the autonomous, all-purpose AI battle tank back into a little Northstar. Then he looked at the mixed forces of the kingdom’s knights, church members, and beasts with curiosity.
Lily got back up to the hillock and felt itchy all over her body. Since no was talking to her yet, Lily found a corner and shook the dirt as well as gravel off her body. Rocks, some as big as a fist, began to rain down on the people around her. Fortunately, the falling stones did little damage to them, as the people of Collow had muscular physiques.
“Stop shaking!” Hao Ren shouted as gravel fell on his head. He reached into his Dimensional Pocket and took out a set of Lily’s spare clothes and threw it to her. “Go find a place and get yourself changed!”
The alpha wolf shapeshifted and went off to get herself changed, leaving Hao Ren and Calaxus behind, looking at each other. The meeting was a little awkward for both of them. Hao Ren forced a smile and said, “Ah, hahaha, is everything all right?”
“Yeah, thanks for helping,” Calaxus replied with a smile. “You’re the landlord that the alpha wolf has been talking about all this while?” he asked and looked at Hao Ren curiously.
“Yes...”
However, the awkward moment did not last long as Lily, back in her usual appearance, had returned to them. She circled and sniffed Hao Ren out to make sure he had that the familiar smell. “Oh, Mr. Landlord, you’re back! I’ve been looking for you for a long time! Do you know how long you’ve been missing? I flew from outside the mainland! Do you know that I used a hot air balloon to do that? Do you know how I got the hot air balloon? I tell you what; I’m a genius and I have an army. Do you know how large my army is? You’ll be amazed if I tell you. My soldiers are as numerous as the sand on the beach. Mr. Landlord, do you know that I left you a slice of whale meat? Unfortunately, I lost it on the way back. But I found you a lump of smoked meat. Mr. Landlord, you—”
“Stop! Stop!” Hao Ren was overwhelmed. “Please calm down. Stop pushing me. Stop pulling my face. Stop biting me! Stop licking! Move... I said, stop biting me! What’s that funny smell in your mouth?”
Everyone’s jaw dropped to the ground, but the alpha’s guards were the most stunned. They watched as the mighty and powerful alpha wolf jumped up and down around the human before she quieted down after a long while.
Yet, Lily could not care less about the stares. She was happy to show her affection and be around her landlord. It was only after a long time that the husky left Hao Ren alone with a smile of satisfaction.
The alpha wolf had found her landlord.
Lily switched off her wild mode.
The husky had stopped thinking.
