Only I Level Up By Shoveling-Chapter 75: "Buff Fertilizer Is Activated!"

Castra only felt something sharp digging into his flesh and the ominous energy he was familiar with instantly flooded his body, rising from his leg all the way to his chest.

"Ugh!"

Castra groaned, and the sword of Vengeance, who was a beat late, finally stabbed the ghostly figure who was clinging to Castra’s body.

But the ghostly figure immediately dived into the ground and disappeared without a trace.

The angel, who was relatively calm all this time, broke into a cold sweat as he felt a surge of new dark energy invading Castra’s body.

Ahhhh! What’s going on with this spirit?!

The sword of Vengeance and even Lady Fera looked at the empty ground in disbelief.

How did they not notice the dark spirit’s movement?

Lady Fera was sensitive to the movement of time and space, so she was even more bewildered.

How did that dark spirit suddenly come out of the ground without her noticing?!

Lady Fera, who was still a bit leisurely before and didn’t think that this group of bastards was threatening, finally raised her ears straight.

Those two brats are not ordinary!

Even more so their strange dark spirits!

But what’s the use of knowing this?

Lady Fera looked at Castra’s face that was once again full of strange patterns and her heart cooled down.

It’s not her responsibility to protect this humanoid spirit, but it hurts her pride that someone could attack the spirit under her watch not just once, but TWICE!

Lady Fera leaped down from Castra’s shoulder and she slowly looked at the toilet spirit in the middle of the huge lake.

Ha, you stinky toilet!!

You’re the culprit, right?!

And the two brats!

Lady Fera grounded her teeth as she walked slowly towards the lake.

With every step she took, snowflakes bloomed under her feet and a layer of ice slowly covered the rock.

A pure white icy path appeared under Lady Fera’s feet and the temperature in the cave plunged even further.

The spirits who suffered from the dark energy shuddered but the stinging pain from the cold that was different from the dark spirit’s sticky cold somehow refreshed their muddy mind.

Quick...go to the angel and get help!

The spirits and their summoners came to Castra’s place one after another.

Castra himself slowly walked towards Ray, and that’s how all the examinees in the cave gathered again.

Once the examinees gathered, those who weren’t badly injured, such as the dwarf, immediately made a move.

"@&@&@&@! (Here’s a potion to cleanse dark energy!)"

The dwarf threw a few potion bottles towards the spirits as he brewed another pot of blood healing medicine for the wounded beastman and the orc knight.

The petite mage quickly erected a simple barrier while the summoners surrounded the angel.

The angel was already sweating a lot, and at one point...

He took off his hands from Castra’s face and let out a mournful sigh.

"@&@...&@-@-....(I’m sorry...I can’t purify you...)"

Castra was infected twice and the amount of dark energy in his body was already too high.

The angel decided to give up on Castra and treated the other spirits with lesser dark energies.

Poo, who could understand the angel language, immediately exploded like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

[HYAAAA!! Mister angel!! How could you abandon my host?! My host can still be saved— Ó⁠╭⁠╮⁠Ò ]

[It’s okay, Poo...I know it’s too late.]

Castra slowly sat on the ground and leaned on the rock as he watched Miria and Ray struggling with the dark energy in Miria’s body.

Ah. If he didn’t have 4-star luck, he would have transformed into a dark spirit any moment.

But this state would not last long either.

Both him and Miria would eventually turn into dark spirits if no one could save him.

Haha.

Castra lowered his head and felt the increasingly sticky feelings inside his body.

It was so disgusting, and even worse, the sticky feeling slowly changed something in him.

It was painful, itchy, sticky, slimy, bizarre...

Castra’s mind spun around and he felt like he would lose consciousness any moment.

Is this the end?

Castra could hear Poo muttering to himself, Dudu screaming and running around his head, the other examinees busy saving their own natal spirits and Summon Spirits...

Ah, sh*t.

How could he die like this?

Just when Castra felt increasingly sleepy, as if his consciousness was about to sink into the dark sea, Poo suddenly slapped him with a fluttering toilet tissue— ah, no, a Gacha ticket.

[Host! Host! Don’t die yet! You still have one Gacha ticket unused!]

Castra was already too tired to blink and could only nod.

Fine, use it. No matter what he got, it was impossible to save his life, right?

After Castra nodded, the familiar toilet appeared in front of him and soon, the toilet tissue disappeared, replaced by a blinding...gold light.

Poo: !

[Host!! It’s gold! Another gold, ah! It must be a good thing!! (⁠ﾉ⁠◕⁠ヮ⁠◕⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠*⁠.⁠✧ ]

Poo tried hard to hype Castra as the golden *beep* exploded on Castra’s face, followed by the system notification.

DUNG! [Congratulations, you have received a skill: Buff Fertilizer!]

[Skill level: E-rank]

[Upgradable]

[Use special *beep* to get different effects!]

[Warning! Warning! You don’t have any stocks left!]

Castra had used Lady Fera’s ice moonlight poop before, so now, he was left with nothing.

Even Dudu’s poops had all been used.

Seeing this, Castra mustered his last strength and whispered to Lady Fera, who was a distance away.

"Milady...can you give me your poop...it is urgent..."

Lady Fera, who was at the lake’s bank, almost slipped into the water.

"Woof?? What are you saying??"

Lady Fera turned around and saw Castra’s pale face and the fire burning in her heart died down a bit.

Uh, that human looks like he’s about to die.

Since it’s his last wish...maybe she could give it to him?

But it’s not like she could produce poops anytime she wanted!

Castra noticed Lady Fera’s complex feelings and immediately nodded with a feeble smile.

"Laxative skill...on."

BEEP. [Laxative Skill is activated!]

Lady Fera felt the familiar feeling in her stomach and she immediately trotted back to Castra’s place, her face even frostier than before.

Hmph! Fine! Just think of this as a last wish!

In no time, Lady Fera produced five beautiful poops and Llyod tremblingly collected the poops.

The moment the poops were collected, the system chimed in excitedly.

DUNG! [You can now use Buff Fertilizer skill! Do you want to use it?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes, please..."

Let’s use one more skill before he dies!

DUNG! [Buff Fertilizer skill is activated!]

Three images of different poops appeared but only Lady Fera’s poop shone in golden light and the next second, the poop came out of the Poop Museum and flew towards Castra.

SWOSH! SWOSH! SWOSH!

The poops splashed onto Castra and instantly disappeared into his body, as if they never existed at all.

Then, Castra’s whole body suddenly started to glow in a strange light.

The green glow that indicated an E-rank spirit slowly changed color to a familiar color.

It was blue!

Ray, who was busy with Miria, noticed the sudden change and he almost bit his tongue.

What? His summon spirit suddenly upgraded on the spot?!
