Chapter 1343: The Secret Behind Doggoblast

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Raven 12345 was dumbfounded. “What Doggoblast?”

Lily jumped to her feet. “Mr. Landlord! How many times have I told you that it’s Skyshatter Howl?

“Didn’t you say it was Skyshatter Roar the last time?” Vivian shot Lily a look.

“Ahh, I forgot.” Lily was startled.

“As I’ve written in the report. Lily has suddenly acquired a new skill—spitting light beams from her mouth. Lockmarton’s armor was broken by this salty soda water, which she spat out of her mouth. Well, okay, it was not salty soda water. It’s just metaphorical... Lily, please be quiet!”

The husky maiden became angry when her new skill was ridiculed. She brandished her claws and bared her fangs in front of Hao Ren, trying to find a weak spot on Hao Ren’s body. It took Hao Ren some considerable effort to keep Lily under control. Meanwhile, Raven 12345 looked on with great interest. “Oh? Doggoblast, the one you mention in your report? Lily, let’s do some demonstration.”

A goddess was a goddess; as soon as Raven 12345 spoke, Lily immediately tucked her claws and fangs while she scratched her face in embarrassment. “Here? It’s embarrassing. I haven’t mastered the skill yet. Please don’t laugh if I fail.”

“No worries. The first time when I created life, I was so embarrassed by myself that I had even cried. You can demonstrate here, facing toward a direction where no one was there.”

“Mr. Landlord, water!” Lily reached out her hand to Hao Ren.

Even Raven 12345, the neurotic, could not wrap her brain around what Lily was doing. “Why do you need water?”

Hao Ren smiled and explained while taking out a thermos mug filled with water. “It’s a spell-casting prop.”

Lily took the mug in her hand, focused her mind, and then gulped down the water. Facing an empty land, she moved her breath down her lower belly and spat all the breath in her body out.

And then nothing had happened.

The husky maiden was almost crying looking at Hao Ren. “Mr. Landlord, I accidentally swallowed it.”

Hao Ren choked himself and almost passed out. “You were able to do it while playing with Lil Pea earlier!”

“I was a little nervous. Should you bring Lil Pea here?” Lily said in embarrassment.

“Stop messing around. Just now you asked for a spellcasting prop, and now a custodian? Could it be more ridiculous than this? Come on, you can do it. I will make stewed pork ribs for you if you make it.”

Lily was over the moon when she heard that. This time, without even needing any warm-up exercise, she sipped the water in her mouth and began to spurt bright light. A light beam, as thick as the fist, shot into the distance accompanied by water vapor and rainbow.

The ease of how Lily accomplished it surprised Hao Ren. But Vivian mumbled, “Looks like she can’t just bark but spit light now. She’s mastered the skill pretty quick, eh?”

Raven 12345 looked with great interest. “Under what circumstances when you first used this ability? Did you feel any difference in your body at that time? Did you use any spell-casting prop last time?”

“It was on the battlefield, where a brutal fight was going on. Mr. Landlord was firing at Lockmarton in the sky, and the wardens were also doing the same. But I couldn’t use a long-range attack. I knew the Meteoric Brickhammer move but I couldn’t use it because I was in my beast form—my claws couldn’t grasp the brick. So all I could do was roar at Lockmarton,” Lily recalled.

“Did you hear that? It’s a dog’s instinct. When it can’t fight, it stays away and barks from a distance. The more it barks, the more frightened it gets,” Vivian whispered to Hao Ren.

Lily overheard what Vivian said. She glanced back and glared at Vivian in anger. And then she recalled more information, “At that time, I felt my body swell, as though something was going to burst out. My head was spinning, and I felt light was everywhere. Before I knew it, I was already roaring with a beam of light shooting out of my mouth. I was shocked.”

Vivian continued to whisper, “It sounded like she was throwing up at that time.”

“Battie, that’s enough! Would you believe that I’d kill you with a mouthful of salty soda water? I can do it right away!”

After that, Lily continued. “But it seemed like I didn’t need any props at that time. Probably because I was transformed; I had enough strength. But when I tried it at home in my human body, I would need to sip some water before I could do it. I guess I’ve become dependent on water for this skill.”

Lily explained everything she knew of her skill and how she managed to use it in her different bodily forms. Her analysis of the matter had Vivian and Hao Ren listening attentively.

The husky might be making a lot of mess in her life and having strange skills, but she was not dumb, just like how she could now analyze her situation logically.

“How many times can you use this skill in human form? What about in beast form?” Raven 12345 asked.

“Light beam output during beast form is particularly powerful. One shot could penetrate a small hill but consumed higher energy. I could fire eight shots the most before I get dizzy. But power output in human or werewolf form is significantly lower, but energy usage is also lower. Normally I could fire 30 shots.”

Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, “Is it because you can’t drink more?”

“Swallow the water is an accident! I would spit out the water successfully in most of the cases!” Lily glared at him.

“Interesting.” Raven 12345 ignored the wrangle and said with a playful smile. “very interesting.”

“What have you found?” Hao Ren had sensed that Raven 12345 seemed to know something.

“There is a trace of divinity in her light blast. I’m not surprised by the divinity. After all, she has been in contact with me many times and eaten much divine food. Everyone around you has some level of divinity for the same reason. And that divinity comes from me.” Raven 12345 looked into Lily’s eyes. “What is interesting is that Lily can harness this divinity and turn it into an actively offensive power. You must already know you could master all the active divine abilities because you have studied the workbook and become a pope. But everyone around you is only passively carrying this power, can survive in the environment of Chaos but not actively harness it and turn it into your power. Only Lily, she has broken this restriction and seems to have done it all by instinct.”

Lily was wide-eyed. “That’s to say I’m really good?”

Hao Ren ignored Lily, who boasted about her ability. Looking at Raven 12345, he asked, “Why is that?”

He could not wrap his brain around why the dumbest guy in the family had suddenly become the only genius.

“Soul. I suspect that it is because of the soul,” Raven 12345 said quietly. “Don’t forget; her soul is of the king of the demon hunter. Perhaps this is why she is different.”

“Because of the soul of the first sage?” Hao Ren quickly felt that Raven 12345’s speculation made some sense. But it was not convincing enough because there was no evidence. “Okay, the soul of the first sage might be very special, but how do we know it is this soul and not other things that are at work?”

Vivian spread out her hand. “Lily is made up of two parts; one part is the soul of the demon hunter, and the other part is only—”

“I got it. You don’t have to say it.”

If it was not the soul of the head of the demon hunter that was at work here, then it must be the body of the husky. No one in their right mind would believe that the husky was the perfect body to carry divine ability.

“It’s possible that the soul of the first sage gives Lily this talent,” Hao Ren scratched his chin, “which absorbs divinity and transform it into a controllable ability within a certain range. Isn’t this talent a little bit sacrilegious? Is divinity something that the mortals can control?”

“It’s not as powerful as you think, because this slight divinity is not divine. It can even be classified as a divine spell.” Raven 12345 shook her head. “The mortals learn this ability through prayer, gift, worship and the like, just like learning magic and martial arts. But Lily has skipped these steps and mastered the control of the divine spell directly through the instinct of the soul. Her light blast is a typical divine spell in my opinion.”

Vivian glanced at Lily with a surprised look. “So your Doggoblast turns out to be a divine spell?”

“I have said it before; you have to be careful with the use of the name! It’s a divine spell, how shameless you are by calling it a Doggoblast!”

“Then do you intend to give the Doggoblast a new name following the divine-spell naming table of Raven 12345?” Hao Ren shot Lily a sideways look. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you, even the I-F*cking-Cover-You Shield is the least gross in the list. I’m dead sure your Doggoblast is under the divine-spell system of Raven 12345.”

Lily was speechless.

At this time, Raven 12345 interrupted their conversation. “This divine spell is not important in itself. What I’m concerned about is the secret behind it: Why does the soul of the demon hunter have this effect?”
