Chapter 574: Teasing the Cat

Translator: imperfectluck Editor: Kurisu

I yawned as I looked at the several hundred lizardmen currently surrounding me. To be honest, this was actually quite boring for me.

“Little Red! Your mom is telling you to come home and eat dinner!”

And so, I stood up and loudly shouted some strange words that were amplified by my magic. Thus, the entire valley kept echoing with the last words “come home and eat dinner!”

Although this sounded ridiculous, I knew that Little Red would understand our secret code.

In our secret code, calling her directly by name and also telling her to come home and eat dinner meant that I was bored, and that we should take care of whatever we had left to do here as soon as possible so that we could get going already.

“Damned Holy Knight! You actually dare to come attack me while I’m weak, humiliating me and my servants? I need power! I need a God Equipment! Hurry and give me the dragon’s divine treasure!”

Ha, not only did she understand me, she was even taking advantage of this opportunity to extort the God Equipment treasure from the lizardmen.

Her astonishingly powerful dragon roar echoed everywhere and sounded quite mighty. But if you carefully thought about what she was really saying, she was obviously just trying to scam the lizardmen into giving her the treasure by using me as a threat.

“I suppose that I should act along with her for a final little bit.”

I yawned again while glancing at the lizardmen warriors cowering away from me. I then raised my battle hammer and summoned a torrential tide of Holy Light.

“Evil! This is the end for you! Wicked lizardmen, let me cleanse you of your sins, for the judgement of Hell awaits you! Evil dragon, you’ll be next! Holy Light shall be victorious!”

The pillar of Holy Light seemed terrifyingly powerful as it shot right into the clouds. Even the clouds became the same color as the Holy Light.

Now that I had entered the beginning of Myth rank from Saint rank, my power had improved yet again. My powerful soul was now in a physical body that had a Double Diamond Bloodline. The soul represented the foundational potential power level that one could achieve, while the physical body and bloodline was a vessel that determined how much power you could handle. I was now more powerful than even Amuro Ray… cough, cough, I meant, far stronger than when I was Yongye! Even if the Emperor Yongye from the past appeared in front of me right now, I was perfectly confident in being able to defeat him in a one-on-one battle!

“What Undead Emperor would fight you in single combat without taking even a single subordinate? Of course you’d win in single combat!”

The silly cat instantly decided to retort to my thought, but this reminded me of her existence. That was why I picked her up, tossed her out, and loudly shouted the following words!

“Come, my angel beast, use your mega evolution! Divine angel beast!”

And so, the cat spun around in midair while continuously transforming. After a blinding amount of Holy Light, a “divine female beast” who wore only embarrassingly revealing clothing appeared… Wow, it really was useful how I could change her form to anything I wanted with the magical pet contract! Yep, Harloys was so useful!

“Roland! Just you wait…!!”

I completely ignored Harloys’ hysterical anger in our soul connection. There were plenty of high-level Holy Knights that had angel transformations, but this would typically require signing a contract with a specific angel. Considering my current relationship with the Holy Light faction… I felt that it would be much better for me to remain as a handsome and independent Holy Knight. However, I was indeed envious to the point where I decided to create my own divine angel beast.

Divine angel beasts had beautiful appearances as they were typically based on female angels. As for the extra cat ears on top of her head? Would you believe me if I said that didn’t have anything to do with my personal preferences?

“You’re glaring at me? Still glaring at me? If you dare to keep glaring at me, I’ll transform you into a Transformer next time!”

Although Harloys was angrily glaring at me, she still completed the task that I gave to her… well, maybe I should say that she passively completed the task, since she didn’t really need to do anything other than be tossed out by me and act as a big target taunting everyone.

The Holy Knight had yet to attack, but his summoned divine angel beast rushed over first. All the residents of the Chaos Abyss were no longer able to idly watch as they knew the legends of these terrifying creatures on bloody battlefields. The lizardmen tribe and their subordinates instinctively started attacking.

Arrows, magic spells, swords, and so on all warmly greeted Harloys in the Chaos Abyss’s most popular type of welcome.

However…

“Get away from me!”

Who knew that Harloys had such a heroic side to her? She directly ignored all enemy attacks as she flew like a meteor with such speed that she left afterimages. She charged through every living obstacle in her path as if she was a battering ram.

Hey, don’t judge me for how cute she seemed and how I was always throwing her away like a ball. Harloys was actually incredibly useful.

Back when she was still a slime, her defensive abilities were already astonishing. Her slime form as a magical pet had the abilities to forcefully absorb and be immune to all physical damage. She had been designed as a physical tank from the very start. Now that I had entered the beginning of Myth rank, this also removed her limitation on only being Saint rank in power to match me. Harloys was now close to reaching the peak of her former power again.

Last time I checked her Constitution stat through my System, her Constitution had already passed an astonishing 50 points. This was a far higher number than even Little Red’s Constitution stat… a truly fearsome stat indeed. Although Harloys still had zero skill in melee combat, it would be impossible to kill her without being ridiculously strong.

“…I think that I should invent even more abilities for her. Cat shield, cat helmet, cat strawman, cat sex doll… Oh, by strawman, I was referring to the strawmen that Zhuge Liang used in his arrow borrowing strategy.”

“I’m going to kill you!”

The divine angel beast flew back directly towards me, knocking away another horde of enemies in her path. But, when she was only one foot away from me, I smiled slightly and snapped my fingers.

“Meow?”

And then, the furious divine angel beast that wanted revenge against me transformed into a cute cat that jumped straight into her master’s arms.

“Meow, meow, meow!” (What did you do to me! Why is it that I can only meow now!”

“Cough, I definitely wasn’t modifying… er, leveling up your body while you were asleep! It seems that this function works normally. Don’t complain about it, you’re also a Myth-ranked half-undead by now. Who knows just how much longer this magical pet contract can still restrain you? This is a necessary safety mechanism for my own safety.”

“Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!” (Roland! You damned idiot! It’s your own fault that you’re cursed to be single forever!)

“What? I can’t understand cat language.”

“Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!” (Then why could you understand me last time!)

“Hmph, do you know how to do anything other than complain?”

Frustration, displeasure, and fury all exploded as Harloys vented all her emotions upon Roland. She jumped on his head and started biting… but Roland actually instantly put on an enchanted iron helmet that had been forged to +12. He had actually prepared an iron helmet for this occasion, how shameless… er, wise could he be! It seemed that he was well prepared.

“Meow, meow, meow, meow!”

This time, the cat truly started shouting while giving up. Or, in other words, the cat started crying.

Harloys was crying. The Banshee Queen was actually crying! Roland had made an achievement yet again. He won! He had a complete victory against his own pet! He was now riding on top of his pet cat and proudly proclaiming his own victory to the astounded lizardmen all around him that just watched this scene!

[Don’t be fooled by him. Did you forget about the magical pet contract? He can understand everything you say.]

Finally, even the System was unable to bear watching Roland tease his cat for any longer…

While Roland was busy behaving ridiculously with his cat, two first-time visitors arrived at Snake God Voka’s temple in the same dimensional level. Judging by how the Snake God greeted these visitors with the utmost respect and in his real body, these two visitors were major personages.

Their arrival also meant that Roland’s carefree days in the Chaos Abyss had ended.

“The Devil Lord heard that there is news of Roland Mist down here.”
