Chapter 1 Silver Giant Wolf

The appearance of the silver giant wolf had a huge impact on the cultists present.

If there was anything more frustrating than fighting desperately to reduce a boss to low health only to watch it transform and revive with full health, it was being reduced to low health by the boss, bracing for a heroic death, only to have the boss transform again, ready to beat you up from a different angle...

Several cultists, already severely injured by Lily's biting and clawing, lay on the ground gasping for breath, their feelings mirroring the above sentiment.

The giant husky, however, cared little for the cultists' thoughts. She was consumed by rage, the immense power from the spicy sticks (latiao) making her feel like she had an uncontrollable force welling up inside her. She howled, causing the surrounding cultists to stumble and become disoriented. Then, she lowered her head, glaring at the tiny, wriggling humans on the ground.

Willy "the Earl" locked eyes with the head wolf, seeing a pair of golden eyes, each the size of a human head, staring back at him. The head wolf bared her teeth, the sharp, dagger-like fangs glinting coldly, sending shivers down the spine of the cultist who had dedicated his entire being to the Chaos Lord, Lockmarton.

Apart from the cultists entangled in combat with the Knights, Sanctuary Warriors, and Beast Guard, the surviving Annihilation cultists gathered around the two Secret Order "Agents." Facing the giant head wolf, they surprisingly erupted in a surge of courage and charged forward, brandishing their swords.

"Lockmarton is supreme!"

Swords struck Lily's claws, creating a series of dazzling sparks. Several fireballs also slammed near her nose, causing her to stagger, but inflicting little damage. If the powerful cult mage, Lamore, were present, he might have posed a significant threat, but such skilled individuals had already been eliminated by Hao Ren in White City. Moreover, Willy's followers had suffered injuries during the "Order Shock" a few days prior. Their current combat capabilities were simply no match for Lily in her giant wolf form.

The giant husky merely sneezed a few times, irritated by the smoke, then promptly lay down and began to roll around frantically.

This was a special technique she had learned after fighting many cannon fodder enemies smaller than herself in her giant husky form. Though not particularly elegant, it was simple, brutal, and effective.

The sight of a five-meter-tall giant husky rolling around frantically on the ground was astounding. When she rolled around while also biting people, it became even more lethal. It was definitely more terrifying than being crushed by a stampeding elephant. The cultists screamed and scattered, but were quickly pinned beneath the "giant wolf," their bones breaking. In this terrifying rolling frenzy, Hogus Manor also suffered greatly. Lily crashed into the centuries-old mansion several times, and finally, a load-bearing wall on one side of the mansion collapsed, taking down half the house.

However, Lily was addicted to rolling. She gleefully rolled through the cultists, perhaps forgetting why she had started rolling in the first place. As she rolled, she approached the edge of the clearing and tumbled down the hillside, creating a cloud of dust and a rumbling sound, rolling out of the battlefield.

Willy and Lavinia stared blankly as the giant wolf rolled out of sight. Lockmarton be praised—they were unharmed.

So, what the heck just happened?

However, they didn't dwell on this question for long, because an obvious opportunity presented itself: once the giant wolf realized what had happened, they would never escape!

The siblings exchanged a glance, as if making a decision. Willy suddenly pulled a dagger from his pocket and used it to cut his finger. "The Great Lord will receive glory through the sacrifice of us both!"

The dagger was strangely shaped, resembling a curved, shriveled finger, one side black and the other white, with a cloudy halo floating above it. It looked entirely impractical and more like a sacrificial tool used in religious rituals.

Lavinia nodded and also cut open her palm. "The future will be revealed!"

Two pools of dark red blood quickly merged on the ground and burst into black flames.

As the black flames burned, Lavinia and Willy's faces turned deathly pale, their spirits visibly weakening. Clearly, in order to escape, they had made a terrible sacrifice to their evil and dark master.

"With our lives, we beg you, grant your humble followers a door, so that we may escape into the dark chaos!"

The dust settled, and the fanatical cult siblings had vanished from the spot.

Not far away, Hao Ren had witnessed this scene. Lily's erratic behavior was so bizarre and sudden that he hadn't reacted in time. However, he hadn't intervened when Willy and Lavinia fled, because he saw that Lavinia was still holding the plastic plate with divine power. Through the connection between the demigod and the artifact, he could sense that a dark magic seal had been placed on the plate by the cultists.

However, those cultists clearly didn't know how powerful a true artifact could be. The seal was useless. The power of Raven 12345 contained within the plate was surging outward in waves. Mortals couldn't sense these divine power fluctuations, but as Raven 12345's Pope, Hao Ren could observe those divine powers as clearly as finding lice on a bald head.

Rather than seeing Willy and Lavinia's escape as an accident, Hao Ren was more than happy to see them flee with the plate. Soon, the plate would bring a big surprise.

At this moment, Lily finally completed her last roll at the foot of the hill. The husky spirit, dizzy, stood up and was surprised to find that the scenery around her was completely different from when she had started rolling.

Lily tilted her head: It seems I rolled down here?

She was covered in dirt and gravel, with the twisted corpses of two cultists pinned beneath her paws.

"Come up here!" Hao Ren appeared on the hilltop and shouted loudly at Lily, who was wagging her tail below.

This sudden, chaotic, earth-shattering, and inexplicable battle finally ended. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, you probably wouldn't have believed that a battle could have so many adjectives. Hao Ren transformed his Ai self-propelled sea-land-air-space universal 59 tank back into its North Star form, and then curiously looked at this ragtag army unit in front of him: a kingdom knight order + church personnel + magical beasts. If such a bizarre mixed force wasn't considered a ragtag army, then everyone in the world was probably a regular soldier.

Lily also trotted back up the hill, covered in gravel, which was very itchy. Seeing that no one was talking to her, she found a place and shook herself vigorously, sending sand and stones flying everywhere. Chunks of rock the size of fists pelted the people nearby. Fortunately, the average person in the Coro world had high physical fitness, otherwise her rain of stones would have left at least a company with grade three injuries…

"Stop shaking!" Hao Ren was about to ask someone about the situation when Lily shook a faceful of sand and stones at him, so he quickly tried to deal with the girl's problem. He conveniently took out a set of Lily's spare clothes from his portable space and threw them over. "Go find a place where no one is around and change!"

The head wolf went to transform and change clothes, leaving Hao Ren and Karasul and others looking at each other. Both sides were a little embarrassed at this first meeting. Hao Ren chuckled twice: "Heh heh... Everything's fine, right?"

"Thank you for your help," Karasul also smiled, curiously looking at Hao Ren. "Are you the... landlord, the head wolf mentioned?"

"Yes..."

Fortunately, this awkwardness didn't last long. Lily quickly changed her clothes and ran back. The husky girl, who had returned to her original attire, was much more energetic. After coming back, she cheerfully ran around Hao Ren several times, and then sniffed hard as if she was confirming the scent. Then she jumped and rubbed against Hao Ren. "Oh, landlord, you finally appeared! I've been looking for you for so long! Do you know how long you've been missing? I flew back from outside the continent! Flew back, you know? I used a hot air balloon! Do you know how I made the hot air balloon? I'm telling you, I'm definitely a genius. If I was thrown into a transmigration novel, I would at least be a farming-style leader. I also organized a legion. Do you know how big this legion is? It'll scare you if I tell you! It's really vast and crowded. If we held hands and sprinkled them into synchronous orbit, there wouldn't be less than Xiang Piao Piao milk tea, maybe a little less, but it should be limited. Oh right, landlord, did you know, I also left you a piece of whale meat! It's a pity it got lost on the way back, but I found you some smoked meat, landlord, landlord you..."

"Stop, stop, stop!!" Hao Ren hadn't even reacted when he was bombarded by the husky girl's babbling. He quickly pressed her back. "Calm down, calm down, don't pounce... hey, don't pull at my face... don't gnaw! Don't lick! Go away, go away... don't bite! What does your mouth taste like!"

Everyone watched this scene in stunned silence, the most stunned being the head wolf's personal guards, who watched their mighty, majestic, wise, and powerful head wolf jumping up and down around this human, only calming down after dozens of jumps.

But Lily didn't care about any of this. She was just happily fooling around with her landlord, and only retreated obediently after a long time, with a relieved smile on her face.

The head wolf had found her landlord.

Lily turned off her wild mode.

The husky stopped thinking.
