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 .
