"Everyone, runnnn—"
BOOM!
One of the gigantic "sand balls" hit the ground and clouds of dust instantly rose all the way to the ceiling.
Even through the clouds of dust and sand, one could still see the pit that appeared right below the thrown sand ball.
If a person was hit by that thing, even if the ground was pillowy sand, they would at least break one or two ribs.
Everyone, including the spirits, shuddered at the sight of the sand balls creating a pit.
That's not a sand ball of poop.
That's a poop cannonball!!
Even worse was that, the moment the sand ball hit the ground, the stench of poop spread out throughout the arena.
If Castra had an HP bar, he would get a notification:
CRITICAL HIT!
-100 HP
-100 HP
-100 HP
Mario and Archie, who were sensitive to the smell of poops, subconsciously slapped their mouths with their hands while bending over with an exaggerated move.
"Blergh! Blergh! What kind of smell is this?! How come it's even more smelly than the chocolate balls?!"
"M-Mario, I feel like fainting..."
Archie laid flat on the ground, his soul was already about to ascend to heaven.
Mario dramatically kneeled next to Archie's listless body with tears and snot all over his face.
"Archie!! Don't go— "
While the two people were staging a Romeo and Juliet drama, the first sand ball that hit the ground slowly rolled out of the pit.
Under everyone's disbelieving gazes, the sand ball actually rolled back to the beetle that threw it.
Oh my God!!
That ball is reusable ammunition!!
"Hey, you Mario bastard! Stop with your drama!"
Castra kicked Mario's b*tt and yelled until his neck turned red.
"Quick! Ask your Natal Spirit and Korean Barbeque Spirit to burn those sand balls!"
Because of Castra's kick, Mario stumbled and almost fell flat on Archie, who was on his deathbed.
He immediately sprung to his feet and pointed his finger at Castra's nose.
"What are you saying?! Look, my natal spirit is in danger! I'm taking him back!"
Mario waved his hand and his natal spirit slowly disappeared, entering his heart.
But then, the moment Archie disappeared, an astonishing sight occurred.
The dung beetle monsters who were keen on attacking them suddenly paused and then scurried around with their antenna, as if they had lost their target.
"Huh? Those beetles ale acting stwange..."
Cecily murmured to herself and those around her immediately looked at the dung beetles' strange antics with confusion.
Yes. What's going on with them? Where's the promised sand and poop cannon balls attack?
How come they suddenly become much more polite?
Poo, who was watching the spirits and the summoners, couldn't help but blurted out the truth,
[Stupid people! The Dung Beetles are known to love *beep*! They must have come to the arena because they smelled a unique *beep*! (ノ｀Д´)ノ彡┻━┻ ]
As for what the unique *beep* was…
Castra looked at Garfin, who was somehow already standing on his shoulder, and he suddenly felt like slapping his own cheek.
Ahhhh! It's Garfin's flying poops! It must be what attracted the dung beetle monsters to come out of nowhere!
So this catastrophe is all his fault?
It is not because of his 5-star charm that could also entice monsters?
No, no, either way, it's all his fault, so he can't let his summoner know about this.
If his summoner knew the truth...say bye bye to the five star review!
To conceal the truth, reversing black and white and turning a lie into the truth...
Castra used his ultimate skill—
Throwing the blame!
Castra immediately slapped his thighs and pointed at Mario with a twisted face, looking as if he was betrayed by his own wife.
"Mario! Explain what's going on! Those monsters stopped chasing us the moment your natal spirit was gone..."
"This must have something to do with you! Don't tell me that the monsters come for us because of your natal spirit??"
Mario was caught off guard by the "pot falling from the sky" and he immediately retorted with all of his might.
"You are slandering me! Why would the monsters target my Archie??"
"Isn't it because of your spirit's bad luck?? And he also smells like sh*t! The dung beetle monsters must be here because of that!"
"What?? Aren't you the one throwing the sh*t to Archie— "
"Anyway, since it's your natal spirit who lured the monsters, you have to take responsibility!"
Hearing Castra's shameless demand, Mario immediately jumped three feet high and stomped the ground anxiously,
"Are you a beast?! How could I marry a little kid, a male spirit and a cat spirit?? This is so immoral!"
....is your brain eaten by the dung beetles?
Why would you want to marry people to take responsibility?
"Mario, open your eyes! Who wants to marry you? You use your Summon Spirits to deal with those monsters! Don't tell me you can't do that?"
Of course, Castra bickered with Mario not only to reverse the lie but to secretly collect his "money".
Llyod the shovel continued to earn coins for Castra.
+10 Fecal coins
+20 Fecal coins
Seeing his Fecal coins rising to 50, approaching 100, Castra almost drooled at the dung beetles.
Ah! What a diligent monster! Keep going! Roll more balls!
This is really a poop farm paradise!
With Archie gone, those monsters shouldn't really be a big threat—
Or so Castra thought.
After the herd lost their target, they suddenly sniffed the air and then focused their gazes on Mario— 's butt.
They could smell something appetizing there.
The dung beetle's eyes immediately glowed green and the next second, they threw all their remaining sand balls towards Mario!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The group was caught off guard by the sudden poop bombardment and they immediately scrambled everywhere.
"Ahhh! Mario!! The monsters are targeting you! It's all your fault!"
"Why me?? I don't have poop on me— oops. Something is leaking from my b*tt."
"You disgusting bastard!!"
The dung beetles threw the balls around the arena and some balls even rolled aggressively towards the group, chasing them to the end of the earth.
"Ahhh! Run! Run! I don't want to be a poop patty!"
Without everyone realizing, they slowly but surely approached the huge hole in the middle of the arena.
When they were only a few meters away from the hole, Garfin's ears and nose suddenly twitched.
"Meoowww, peasants, stop!! This king feels something strange approaching from the central hole, meowww!"
Everyone looked at the central hole that had already stopped pouring out with monsters and their hearts immediately hung high.
DOOM. DOOM. DOOM.
The ground...the ground is shaking again!
This time, the tremor is even bigger than before!
"W-what? What's going on??"
