Dust billowed into the air and hidden behind everyone's sight, stars appeared above the wolf's head and its tongue stuck out listlessly with a hint of a strange substance leaking out of its mouth.
The audience…the audience was stunned.
What? What's going on? Why did the wolf spirit suddenly fainted??
The audience only saw Castra shoving the shovel into the wolf's mouth, but that kind of attack could hardly harm the wolf, right??
The commentator was also stunned before he shouted with his face twisted in disgust.
— "And there we go!! The poop shoveler spirit played dirty and knocked out the wolf spirit!!"
It's the real "playing dirty"!
The commentator gave Castra two toe thumbs up in silence and Castra accepted all the fiery gazes directed at him.
Under the audience's watchful gaze, Castra silently controlled Llyod to creep closer to the unconscious wolf…
And then picked up the flaming gym bro's *beep* with the shovel, slowly collecting it all back to the system's space.
Audience: ….
Commentator: …no comment.
Only Poo excitedly clapped and nodded with pride.
[You're so clever, host!]
What a great penny pincher— ah no, a poop pincher!
Once Castra collected the poop, enduring the stinging pain in his belly, he slowly took a few steps back from the little kid and looked at her with concern.
"Are you okay, dear summoner?"
"Uh…I...I am owkay..." Cecily spoke in a trembling voice, her mind was in a mess from all the plot twists, but she still used the healing skill on Castra.
"Hold on…it will heal soon…"
Indeed, the next moment, a new flesh quickly grew in Castra's wound.
In no time, Castra's stomach was back to new, as if it had never been pierced.
Even Castra's transparent belly and his half-transparent body became clearer and more solid than before.
It's now Castra's turn to be dumbfounded.
With this kind of healing skill, wouldn't he be invincible in any battle?
But before Castra could be happy, Cecily's body swayed and she almost fell to the ground.
"Ah! Dear cust— summoner!" Castra quickly hugged Cecily's waist, only to see Cecily's face as pale as a ghost with sweat dripping down her cheek.
It looked as if she was about to breathe her last breath!
Castra instantly felt his entire body growing cold.
The little avatar in his heart was already crying tears of buckets.
No, no, no, dear customer, don't die!!
There's no life insurance here and— what if the Spirit World fired him??
"Are you okay, dear summoner??" Castra probed cautiously, ready to cover whatever murder and mishaps happened to his summoner.
"I...I am fwine..." Cecily took a deep breath and tried to stop her trembling body and goosebumps that broke out at Castra's strange words.
"It's jwust...exhausting..."
This E-rank body is so weak!
If this was her in her past life, even if she wasn't a healer-type summoner, she could heal even worse injuries with just a wink.
Pipi also looked listless as it nestled on Cecily's chest.
"Pi...pi...."
Ah…with his summoner like this, he could only go back to the [Free Play], right?
Damn the Spirit World, squeezing him to work for free!
Whoever made the rules that summoners didn't need to spend mana when the summon spirits do [Free Play] on their own…
Rot in hell!
"Just..take care…"
And don't die.
Castra sighed as he turned around and saw the fire boar already slowly standing up, about to attack again.
As for the wolf spirit? Oops, still unable to accept reality.
Castra was about to deal with the boar spirit before Mario and his main spirit joined the fray but a certain cat king was itching to make trouble.
"Meow, stay here, meow. This king wants to play, meow!"
Garfin patted the back of Castra's head with his paw, lightly jumped off Castra's shoulder and trotted towards the boar.
Even if he could only use the cat body's basic attacks, holding off a mere D-rank spirit was easy peasy!
Seeing Garfin's eagerness, Castra put his palms together and bowed to the boar from afar.
'I hope you won't die too quickly. Here's a candle lit for you. Rest in peace, amen.'
After praying for the poor pig, Castra swung the tattered shovel around and shouted at Mario, who could barely stand after suppressing the thing that was about to come out of his b*tt.
"Yo, Mario! Are you done sh*tting? Did you sh*t your pants?"
"What!! What did you say— ugh!"
Mario wanted to yell at Castra, but his stomach was still in pain, so he could only grit his teeth and signalled at Archie with his eyes.
[Archie, show that fake spirit your true power!]
Mario gave a command, and Archie immediately pointed his flame bow and arrows at Castra.
Without saying a word, Archie pulled the bowstring to the fullest and with one eye closed, he let go of the arrow feather.
SWOOSH!
An arrow made entirely of fire shot straight towards Castra's forehead!
The arrow was so fast that the air burned with fire, as if a meteor fell from the sky.
Castra only saw a flash and the tip of the arrow had already spun right in front of his forehead!
"Ugh!"
Castra quickly swung Llyod and blocked the arrow targeting his forehead, but the moment the arrow touched the shovel, it pierced through the shovel, creating another small hole!
SHHHHH—
Before the arrow stabbed his forehead, Castra tilted his head and the burning arrow passed by his head just a breath away..
Then, it plunged straight into the sand and slowly disappeared, as if it never existed.
This archer spirit—
Before Castra could curse the spirit with his Laxative Skill, Mario cut him to it.
"Archie! Use the skill [Three-In-One] !"
Archie immediately pulled his bowstring while shouting,
"Activate skill [Three-In-One] ! "
Archie's bow suddenly glowed red and three flaming arrows appeared in front of the bowstring.
Archie pulled the bowstring to the back with all of his might and the next second—
TA!
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Three flaming arrows flew towards Castra with a flaming trail at the tail, aiming straight at Castra's head, chest and belly!
The air was filled with the smell of fire and even the audiences at the front seat could feel the heat from the three arrows.
The first commentator immediately slammed the table while roaring in excitement,
—"And there it is!!! A skill!! Three arrows at once!!"
Castra only blinked once and the three arrows were already a few centimeters in front of him.
!
"Llyod!" Castra quickly swung his shovel in front of his forehead and chest, blocking the first two arrows.
SSHHHHHH—
But the two arrows drilled a hole in the shovel and the tip of the arrows pierced through the shovel, just an inch away from Castra's forehead and chest!
Castra's heart skipped a beat.
He…he couldn't avoid the arrows!
