Only I Level Up By Shoveling-Chapter 95: "Alert! A Night Raid!"

The voice was hoarse and harsh, like nails scratching a metal.

Castra subconsciously plugged his ears and squeezed his eyes.

Ah! Help! Goosebumps!

The two big bosses also flattened their ears and growled at the source of the voice.

"Meow! Noisy!!"

"Shut up, woof!"

As if intimidated by the two big bosses, the voice disappeared without a trace, but the group couldn’t sit still.

They were just standing for a few seconds yet the heat from the clouds already burned through their feet, almost making them blister!

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! What kind of bird island is this?? Is there really a bird who loves to hang out here?"

Castra grumbled and saw even the crane gentleman fly away swiftly, as if running from something.

Dudu and the toilet spirit in its formless state also complained one after another.

"Duuuu!"

Master, Dudu is melting!

"Master, master, I’m a dark element spirit! This sun is scorching my soul!"

The dark fog ball floated up and down dejectedly.

"Just bear with it, you guys. After this, we can relax!"

Castra coaxed his two subordinates and finally had time to look around, his hands didn’t stop wiping his sweat.

From outside, the dark clouds island looked barren, but once he was inside, it was actually...still barren.

There were only sparse cloud-like trees and some cloud-like rocks as tall as a giant reef.

Other than that, there was nothing.

Do spirits like to live in barren places? Garfin’s place at the top of the Cat Tower Mountain was also barren!

Without being asked, Garfin had already spoken while slapping his paw to the cloudy ground.

"Meow! This island must be a place for sunbathing!"

...what? Is that why your place is also barren? It’s for sunbathing??

Castra didn’t dare to say that out loud but he still whispered to Poo through telepathy.

[Pssst! Poo, what kind of bird likes to sunbathe under such a strong heat?]

[A roasted bird? Hehe. (⁠ ⁠ꈍ⁠ᴗ⁠ꈍ⁠) ]

[Hehe, your bird.]

Castra threw away Poo’s nonsense out of his head and immediately started to go through the entire barren place.

"Will there really be a crow here? Don’t tell me it’s that loud voice before...."

Castra walked tirelessly while Garfin and Lady Fera...somehow already got onto Castra’s shoulder and arms respectively.

Castra, whose burden increased: ...

"Uh, your majesty, achoo! Milady— achoo! Can you guys walk on your own— achoo!"

"Impossible, meow. The ground is so hot."

"This lady is melting! You have no heart, little slave."

The samoyed in Castra’s arms really seemed to be "melting", but the faint chill from her body eased Castra’s heart a little.

As for the heavy burden around his shoulder? He had no choice but to pamper his majesty.

"Okay, okay, can your majesty and milady help me find a crow? Any crow will do."

At such a barren place, it’s easy to find a living being, right?

But they searched the whole island from when the sun was high until the sun went down...

And there was nothing!

Sure, there were black feathers dropped here and there, but there’s not a single sight of a bird!

Not only that, there weren’t even any birds passing by above their heads!

[Uh, host, it’s already time for me to clock off, so you, uhhh~ ]

Poo fidgeted as he tried to leave work but looking at Castra’s dark face, Poo almost bursted into tears.

[I get it, I get it. Just leave.]

Castra swatted the annoying poop away and wandered around aimlessly.

The two big bosses on his body were already as quiet as a mouse. Lady Fera even stuck out her tongue and panted pitifully.

"I’m sorry, you two. We got nothing...if you want, you guys can go back. I’ll just sleep here and try again tomorrow."

The two animals immediately slapped Castra with their tails.

"Meow, meow, are you looking down on this king?! This king must find that dumb birdie!!"

"Woof, woof, this lady won’t die just because of this heat!"

Okay, okay, two proud bosses.

Just like that, the three spirits decided to make do by sleeping behind the giant rock, sheltering them from the intense heat.

Naturally, Lady Fera and Garfin each occupied a place on Castra’s body, using him as a makeshift bed.

However, even when the sun went down and night came, the place was still as hot as a steamer, making it difficult to sleep.

The three spirits tossed and turned for a long time before they succumbed to their Dreamland.

3 a.m, the time where the three spirits were deep in their sleep...

A sneaky figure flashed by and cautiously trotted towards the huge cloudy rock.

Once it was only several meters away, the sneaky figure stopped and carefully peeked at the trio behind the rock.

Humm, a cat, a dog and a two-legged beast.

Hate them.

What are they doing here, though?

These people aren’t intimidated by his voice—

Because of these people, he can’t sunbathe during the day!

Outrageous!

Just you wait!

Revenge is on the way!

The sneaky figure flapped its wings and tiny sparks of flame burst into the air.

The sparks started as tiny as a fingernail but then they slowly grew in size.

The moment the sparks grew into a fist-sized fire ball, they flew into the sky, drifting towards the sleeping spirits.

The two big bosses, despite being deep in sleep, instantly felt a foreign energy coming towards them and their eyes snapped open at the same time.

"Meow! Enemy attack!"

"Woof! Who is there?!"

The two animals’ noises instantly woke up the sleeping Castra and he scrambled to stand up.

Then, he was immediately greeted by the group of flame balls.

....?? Did he wake up and the world ended??

Castra hurriedly summoned his shovel and was about to swat the fist-sized fireballs when the two big bosses suddenly shouted in horror,

"Meowww! Watch out!!"

"Little slave! Above you— "

Castra subconsciously looked up and saw a basketball-sized fireball blast down straight onto his head.

BOOM!
