Chapter 258 - 128: 6th Rank Glorious Class Knight_1
After hearing Small Tree’s explanation, Long Kongkong’s daydreams were completely shattered. For him who was only at the 4th Rank, reaching the 6th Rank seemed like a distant prospect. Nevertheless, he gained some new insights about himself.
Previously, during the practical examination and while facing the wraith legion, they more often contended with external enemies. Nothing had been as shocking as his cousin’s forbidden spell. He had always considered himself, perhaps even the entire Spirit Furnace Academy, to be the weakest. But after the first two rounds of the demon hunting team selection, he began to realize that owning three spirit furnaces, especially after acquiring the Divine Prayers Small Tree Spirit Furnace, he had substantially improved. Although his cultivation level was still insufficient, with the aid of Small Tree, he should be no weaker than any 5th Rank knight. Of course, this all depended on his opponents not being aware of his hidden strength.
Thinking back to the attack by the green-armored woman, who certainly was a 7th Rank undead, he only survived due to Small Tree’s protection and the unexpected intervention of the foodie Sky Devouring Rodent, who blocked two fatal attacks for him. Otherwise, his fate would have been far less certain.
Speaking of the foodie...
Long Kongkong hastily pulled out all twenty servings of rib dishes he had purchased from his storage bangle - ten servings of rib rice and ten servings of rib noodles. He had promised this to the Sky Devouring Rodent, which is why he had visited the rib shop earlier. Hep Benn was at school, and only Father Hep was present. This purchase almost fulfilled all of the lunch orders Father Hep had, so he even offered a discount which Kongkong refused. He paid quickly and left.
"Foodie, it’s time to eat," Long Kongkong said, attempting to open the contract space to summon the Sky Devouring Rodent.
"Idiot, don’t call me foodie! Call me Sky Devouring Emperor!" The Sky Devouring Rodent replied with dissatisfaction. Still, his plump body squeezed out of the contract space.
As soon as it emerged, its sharp nose twitched twice, followed by a bright twinkle in its eyes. Without paying any heed to Long Kongkong, it quickly lunged forwards and began feasting.
It ate with lightning speed. A serving of rib noodles was sucked into its mouth with a single slurp. It chewed a couple of times and swallowed. Then, it was onto the next serving.
The Sky Devouring Rodent’s eyes twinkled brightly. Delicious, so delicious. Although these things didn’t have much energy, the taste was simply too good, far better than anything it had eaten in its old world. It almost ate its own tongue in its enthusiasm.
Long Kongkong watched, amazed at the creature’s appetite. True to its name, the foodie managed to consume all twenty servings of the rib feast in less than ten minutes.
