It's not the protagonist, what does it matter if you are trapped in the Shura field

Chapter 552: The Flame of the White Tower and the Starry Sky
A black light suddenly appeared.

The gigantic lion-shaped monster whimpered and fell down. It tried to escape but was caught up by the black light of death in an instant, and its head and body were separated as it fell into the rain.

Luo Wei scanned the area with his golden eyes, then squatted in front of the princess.

"Are you okay?"

Princess Emily Kash shook her head vigorously.

The rain wet her hair and her thin clothes stuck to her body. Luo Wei thought about it and moved the campfire a little closer to her. The roar of the rain kept ringing in his ears.

"Well...how is it?" the princess asked uncertainly.

"It will probably only take half an hour." Luo Wei replied with raindrops dripping from his hair. "Before that, I'm afraid you'll have to stay here to keep warm. I'm sorry to make you suffer."

"How could that be?" The princess looked at him worriedly and pinched his sleeve with a serious expression. "You are soaked all over. Change your clothes and wring them out."

"I'm fine."

Luo Wei downplayed it.

What he was thinking about now was the situation outside. Even if he was not there, others had already made preparations in all aspects. Why should they exclude him?
And, why him?
Luo Wei felt uncomfortable with the reason why Hong Zhen Gong did this. After all, he probably didn't have such a high opinion of himself.

While thinking, he looked at the princess again and found that she was still shivering by the fire.

"I... I'm fine." The princess noticed his gaze and shook her head, "I just don't want to interrupt your thoughts."

Luo Wei showed a somewhat helpless expression for a moment. Luo Fuli's mother was sometimes really persistent in this regard. She might think that there was little she could do, so she tried her best to sympathize with others and do every task at hand as well as possible.

Leaving her frozen like this for half an hour might cause problems.

When the princess saw him looking at her, she sat down next to him and forcefully helped him squeeze the rain out of his sleeves.

"Ahem...I'm really fine."

"If you don't want to do it yourself, then I'll do it."

"Okay, then I'll be obedient. You sit down first." Luo Wei said, unable to persuade her.

Then he pointed at himself awkwardly, "Uh, I..."

The princess was stunned for a moment, then turned her head away. Luo Wei had never thought about whether she would peek, so he turned his back without any worries and wiped his whole body dry and changed his clothes.

When he turned around again, the princess seemed to have noticed it, and began to help him fold his wet clothes.

"No, I really don't need this..." Luo Wei was embarrassed by her gentleness and threw the dirty clothes into the wave. "You take such good care of me."

The princess blinked and didn't pay attention to the problem. Then she saw that his hair was still wet, so she quickly took off the clothes she was wearing and dried his hair.

"..."

Luo Wei simply obeyed.

"Is the situation outside very serious?" Princess Emily Kash asked as she knelt on the ground and wiped his hair.

"It depends on what happens next," Luo Wei said without hesitation, "otherwise it's not a big problem."

Yes.

Even if the agent caused a commotion in the palace, with the Grand Duke and the Prime Minister standing by and watching, it would not be easy to break through Evan's guards' defense, and reinforcements were arriving in waves.

In the royal city, several disaster-stricken districts have carried out crowd guidance, and the knights and residents are well-trained. These are the efforts they have made, and will not change because of the sudden attack by the agent.

So this is most likely an attack on the Royal Palace and the Prime Minister's Tower, as well as a fire that did not cause serious damage.

If there is no follow-up.

Even if half an hour was enough to turn the world upside down, he wanted to see what the Grand Duke and his agent could come up with.

The princess's hand touched his forehead, and Luo Wei noticed that her limbs were cold and she only had one boot on her feet.

This made him step back.

"Princess, that's enough."

She was planning to take off her boots and dry them, but was suddenly targeted by monsters. Those dozen monsters were probably native to this barrier and they revealed themselves only when they sensed the scent of prey.

"Your health is more important. If anything happens to you, Lovely will kill me."

The princess sat back down somewhat embarrassedly.

Luo Wei's body had begun to warm up, but the princess was still wet and cold. However, he couldn't let her change clothes here, so he thought about it and reached out his hand to the princess.

"Give me your hand."

Instead of following her advice, Luo Wei put her hand on his stomach.

"Hey...Rovi?"

"That's it for now," Luo Wei took out a few more pieces of clothing from the ripples and put them on her layer by layer, "I think you know your physical condition best."

He had no bad intentions towards the princess, at least not the same as he had towards Atetana. If he had to put it bluntly, it was probably because they were a family.

Very cozy feeling.

Maybe it was because she was Lovely's mother, or maybe it was because she treated him the same way, which made him feel this rare emotion for him.

The rain was still roaring outside the ruins, and the grass had been soaked. The two of them were roasting a fire in the ruins.

The princess smiled.

"In fact, I have always longed to embark on the kind of thrilling adventure life that only exists in stories one day, boundless wilderness, ruins hidden with secrets, and after fighting monsters, I would return to the tavern in the small town with the spoils to celebrate."

"Maybe it's because it's a completely different kind of life that I can only hear about in stories and can't experience myself."

The princess said with a smile.

Luo Wei didn't interrupt her, but just listened quietly.

"So - I'm actually quite happy to have this opportunity. Hiding in the rain in the ruins, I was attacked by monsters, and then I was rescued by you in the critical moment. Seeing that none of them could escape from your sword, isn't it very exciting?"

"I don't deny it." Luo Wei also smiled with emotion.

She probably wouldn't normally tell her own children these words. If the princess wanted to go on an adventure or something, Lovelli would be so anxious that she would jump up and punch through the ceiling.

"So, if you have to face a difficult battle when you go out later," the princess looked at him and said, "please don't forget that you can give people stories and courage. There is not much I can do for you, but I will definitely pray for you and am willing to listen to you at any time."

So she said those things to encourage herself.

Luo Wei sighed. She really cared about him in every sense. "I will."

The space around them began to shake. Luo Wei noticed the abnormality of the space and pulled the princess up from the ground.

He closed his eyes.

No matter what kind of surprise the Grand Duke had prepared for him, now that he had been so encouraged, he could only rush into it head-on.

……

Lion Garden Palace, the princess' bedroom.

Coming out of the broken barrier, Luo Wei stuck his sword into the ground with a cold face, and did not see Sahara's figure.

Saya rushed in from the balcony and was stunned when she saw the two of them.

"Luo Wei, you..."

"What's the situation outside now?" Luo Wei walked to check the door lock. "Is there anything unusual?"

"Wait a moment!"

Saya hurriedly called him, then looked towards the balcony with a solemn expression.

"Outside now..."

Luo Wei's expression tensed and he immediately went to the balcony. As far as he could see, the battle in the palace had ended.

And he continued to raise his eyes and looked towards the direction of the Melendel King City. The sky was covered with dark red clouds, and the fires in several city districts were about to go out. There—

A tall white tower stands tall.

……

Thirty minutes ago.

Lion Garden Capital, main city area, Saint Laurent Square.

Faced with the monsters rushing towards him like a tide, Ryan wielded the holy sword to cut through the vortex of fire.

"Sherond!"

The black long-handled battle axe slammed into the battlefield, creating a large pit several meters wide. Immediately afterwards, a domineering sweep swept away a row of monsters, hitting the monsters behind and causing them to explode.

Jutman stood on the roof and drew the bowstring. After chanting several times, dense black arrows poured down like rain, piercing the monster's skull and nailing it to the ground.

"Today is the day to wash away the shame!" Joey suddenly used magic power to suspend his staff in the air, and the exaggerated magic cannon blasted into the battlefield.

"Then you can't clean all the land in Melendel even if you scrub it." Jutman held the bow and continued to aim.

Jinlis used a giant shield to spread out his divine power to divide the battlefield. Ryan took a step back and looked around.

"Why are all the monsters gathered here?"

“I don’t know,” Talia said, holding her rapier, “but judging by their formation, it seems like they are trying to drive us away from the square.”

At this moment, an irregular blue crack suddenly appeared in the night sky above everyone's heads.

Almost everyone looked up in that direction.

"what?!"

"what is that?"

Following closely, Ryan and Shuger felt a gust of wind pressure, and their eyes widened at the first moment, pulling back Sheronde and Jinlis in front of them.

Boom——! !

There was a sound of something hitting the ground, bricks and stones were splashed, and roaring smoke and dust rushed in the face.

When the smoke gradually dissipated, Ryan and others looked closely and saw a huge pit with a diameter of nearly 50 meters appeared in the center of Saint Laurent Square.

"!?"

Before everyone could be surprised, something suddenly flowed from the ground. It was a red light that was buried deep underground but could be seen from the outside.

What is that vein-like thing?
Several people looked at their feet cautiously, avoiding the direction of those veins.

Three ways?

Ryan and Jas were both stunned for a moment, "Could it be!"

These are three veins of earth energy that have not touched the crystal column! Looking behind him, these three veins clearly come from the Lower City, the Lion Court Palace, and the Upper City Noble District!

The energy eventually gathered in the huge pit that fell out of nowhere. The entire ground began to shake, and a huge white stone tower rose from the ground, pushing its way out of the flat ground in front of everyone.

"What……!?"

When the giant white tower rose up, before everyone had time to confirm it, several red lights lit up around the tower, and figures walked out of the light curtain one after another.

"I'm tired of killing the knights of the royal city. Let me see what's here." said the woman with the katana.

There was also a man wielding arm armor, and a burly man with diamond-like substance surging on his armor.

Agent?!

Ryan looked up at the giant tower in the night sky——

This tower was built by an agent! ?
……

East of Melendel, on a high ridge that blocked the plain behind.

A white-haired woman of oriental appearance stood alone at the highest point of the mountain ridge, looking indifferently in the direction of the capital of the Lion Garden Kingdom in the distance.

"I brought you the fire you asked for."

The woman said calmly.

"But will your method really work? You're going against your destiny, cutting off the roots of the past and heading towards the unknown—"

"This isn't in the script, Earthsong Star Destaria."

The woman waved her sleeves and turned around, her body turning into bones in an instant, along with her scattered clothes which turned into dust and dissipated among the mountain ridges.
