Chapter 708: Chapter 499: The Ugly Little Wolf Takes Off (Part 2)
These particles may be small, but there are so many of them, they look like a dust cloud.
The golden dust cloud began swirling around No. 2 like a tornado, before rapidly converging.
More accurately, it was gathering at the top of No. 2’s head.
Buzz!
A sound like a struck golden bell echoed, as if the space itself shivered for a moment.
"What the heck is this?"
The final result left Li Pu stunned.
[Cao!]
Scarecrow: What kind of robot head is this?
[Eat eat, bleh!]
Bubu: Still just an iron head, boring.
[Roar bop bop roar!]
Ugly Little Wolf: Oh no, I forgot to leave a mark in the sky just now!
[Zzz...]
The summoned creatures reacted in various ways.
Just as the scarecrow said, it couldn’t quite understand what type No. 2 was now.
Because at this moment, above its head, all that golden dust had formed a... floating halo.
Yes, the kind of halo that only angelic summoning creatures have.
[Bow before me, you mortals]
Clearly, No. 2 also felt the change within itself.
"So, does that mean you’re now an angelic robot... head?"
Li Pu was a bit unsure.
[Cao! Cao cao cao!]
Scarecrow: Summoner! It’s already dead!
Scarecrow: Ben Cao says only those who die go to heaven!
"Are you sure it’s heaven?"
"Aren’t liars supposed to go to hell?"
Li Pu still found it hard to accept.
Out of all his summoned creatures, how did the most ill-tempered one turn into an angel?
Seeing that it didn’t seem dangerous, he and the others got closer again.
[Cao cao cao!]
Scarecrow: Fly-head, show us some tricks!
Slapping No. 2’s cheeks with a clang, it voiced Li Pu’s thoughts.
What they really wanted to see now was exactly what power this [Power of Light] had.
[I can absorb light]
No. 2 didn’t beat around the bush and said it directly.
Absorb light?
Li Pu was taken aback when he heard this, his eyes widened slightly.
Absorbing light sounded like something a black hole would do, more like the devouring ability Bubu-type summoning creatures have.
What does that have to do with the Power of Light?
Just as this thought emerged, Li Pu saw No. 2 use [System Lock] to lock onto the scarecrow.
Next, his vision suddenly turned white.
Yes, a complete whiteout, totally covering his sight.
"Oh my goodness."
[Eat eat eat!]
[Bop bop roar!]
In that moment, both he and the summoned creatures covered their eyes.
Turns out, No. 2 was speaking in opposites again; it didn’t absorb light, but emitted light!
And it was a strong light!
The kind that could temporarily blind someone!
"So besides a nuclear bomb, now it has a flashbang function too?"
Holding his eyes, he couldn’t help but shed tears.
[Eat eat eat!]
Bubu angrily waved its little arms around, unable to see its target, just flailing aimlessly.
[Roar bop bop!]
Ugly Little Wolf took this chance to pee blindly and ended up hitting Fufu.
[Quiet!]
Fufu let out an angry roar, cranky from being woken up.
[Hahaha cao!]
Only the Scarecrow stood by and laughed at the chaos.
Actually, back when they encountered that "What are you looking at" demon beast, the one truly unaffected by attacks wasn’t the Ugly Little Wolf, but the Scarecrow.
As a being that could continue talking and drinking cola with or without a head, how could it have actual eyes?
So the Scarecrow wasn’t afraid of this flash attack at all.
[Summoner, die already]
Just as his sight was still recovering, Li Pu heard No. 2 speak again.
Zoom!
A wave of strong warmth enveloped him.
Li Pu knew, this was likely its [Healing Art].
But he had experienced its [Healing Art] before, and it didn’t have such a strong comforting effect.
Furthermore... he noticed that his vision, temporarily lost to the strong light earlier, had returned.
Finding it hard to grasp this personal experience, he quickly opened No. 2’s panel to see more clearly.
"Is this... the effect of the Power of Light?"
Just one glance, and Li Pu noticed the problem.
Now, No. 2’s panel showed significant changes.
Not only had its strength increased by over 2000, but it also had a new inherent ability and upgraded skills.
[Holy Light Shines]: Each skill cast causes a strong burst of holy light.
No wonder it emitted such intense light just now; it was a temporary inherent ability acquired from gaining the Power of Light.
Honestly, this inherent ability seems impressive, yet not impressive.
Because besides blinding people, it has no other use.
So that’s not the part that truly amazed Li Pu. What really surprised him was that all the skills had been upgraded by one major tier, which was really amazing!
[Code 2887 (A)]: Initiates a self-destruct based on its own strength value
↓
[Code 8888 (S)]: Initiates a self-destruct based on its own strength value, dealing extra damage to Void Race and Nether Race
This new code sounds lucky and appealing.
It seems the new self-destruct has a light attribute, enabling it to deal extra damage to the two mentioned types of enemies.
If used in specific dungeons, No. 2 alone might suffice to wipe out enemies.
However, without experimental subjects, Li Pu couldn’t determine the exact extra damage against specific types of enemies.
Anyway, S-level skills are definitely not simple; of that, he had no doubts.
[True Cannon (A)]: Enhances ammunition power
↓
[Holy Cannon (S)]: Enhances ammunition power (↑↑↑)
The name reminds him somewhat of Fufu’s [Divine Kung Fu].
[System Lock (C)]: Can lock onto a target when casting some skills
↓
[System Lock (B)]: Can lock onto multiple targets when casting some skills
From locking onto a single target at a time, to locking onto multiple targets at once.
Li Pu had No. 2 try it out and found the limit was 3.
[Healing Art (B)]: Casts a healing effect on one target
↓
[Holy Healing Art (A)]: Casts a healing effect on one target and clears negative status effects
Having experienced No. 2’s healing just now, he felt the healing effect was improved.
Not only that, it now added a function to clear negative effects, hence restoring his vision earlier.
"Didn’t expect it to be quite fitting."
After checking out the effects, especially liking the [Holy Healing Art], Li Pu was pleased.
It seems the role of the S-level skill [Power of Light] is to emit flashes and upgrade other skill tiers.
Although its direction is completely different from [Godzilla’s Power], it truly deserves the S-level skill title and was worth the crystal coins spent to acquire.
The key point was unexpectedly turning No. 2 into a stronger support-type summoning creature by accident.
Except the frequent flashes are a bit of a nuisance.
Li Pu thought he should find some suitable light-blocking skills or runes to use himself.
If not, every time No. 2 performs healing, everyone would collectively go blind; who could tolerate that?
In the worst case, he’d at least have to get Bubu and the others a pair of sunglasses.
Honestly, this sunglasses idea is feasible, convenient, and economical.
However, right now, he’s more interested in finding a place to test No. 2’s holy light self-destruct.
"If I remember correctly, there’s a testing field valley nearby."
Pulling out a map from his storage space, Li Pu pondered for a moment and found the answer.
The testing field valley, a place just outside Imperial University specifically for faculty and students to test summoning creature skills.
Here, they could freely unleash skills without worrying about damaging the training ground and having to compensate.
Many seek that place for practice when their summoned creatures gain new, highly destructive skills.
They passed by last time during the monthly exam, and Wu Guinan even gave him a tour.
It looked quite close, about 2 kilometers away.
He planned to take No. 2 there right now to take a look.
Because surrounding areas offered no better place to safely self-destruct without endangering innocent bystanders.
