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

Chapter 609 A magnificent and unparalleled duel unfolds before the enemy's lines.

"The two most important factors affecting the effectiveness of a barrier are 'authority' and 'ritual.'"

Seeing that they were asking, Lowe also brought up the matter in the tent.

"The barrier in the valley was erected by Urs when he briefly regained his former powers, and the terrain here is a natural magic field, which is perfectly suited for the performance of rituals."

“I remember the contract for that ceremony was…”

“Yes, the power of the Valley Beastmen after twenty years of adulthood,” Rowe responded to Vimir’s statement. “This amount of energy is actually negligible. The absorbed power is used to maintain authority, not for consumption. The laws established by the gods have the constancy of truth.”

Simply put, both temples and churches want to collect faith, but demons prefer to demand it through long-term contracts rather than offerings from believers.

Therefore, it is rare for high-ranking demons to leave their territory, and the process of humans conquering them is very complicated, like solving a riddle.

Urs managed to find a loophole.

The barrier contains the power of the Valley Beastmen after they reach adulthood for twenty years. The way to break it is to kill all the adult Beastmen in the valley. As long as there are no internal problems, the barrier will be very difficult to break.

"Eh—" Lovely said dismissively, drawing out her words, "Was that demon god really that powerful?"

You guys really don't treat him like a second-tier god...

Most temples in the world cannot possibly invite a second-level god to cast a protective spell.

If you want to forcibly break it, you'd better ask someone of Celis's level. Even if Chaham comes, he'll need to prepare for a while before he can break it through a counter-ritual.

"Is that so?" Anain asked thoughtfully. "I'd really like to test if my knife can break through it."

Luo Wei's lips twitched as he looked at her. "Let's not. If you strike, you might accidentally wipe out the orcs."

Although she most likely can't do it.

But seeing that she wasn't in a good mood, Luo Wei didn't intend to go against her wishes.

"Then quickly take me out to do something!"

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Anai Ning came over, grabbed his hand and shook it frantically, "Hurry up, hurry up, I've been suffocating lately!"

Vimiel reacted swiftly.

“I…I want one too!”

"Varied……"

Saya glared at him and stood up.

But in the end nothing was said.

Lovely looked at them helplessly, "Can't you learn from Crace? She's been working day and night in the workshop lately."

"It seems like Kroc is researching new weapons for Rowe..."

"..."

Lovely had nothing to say.

Why is everyone crowding around that small fry?
"Take me there! Take me there!" Anai Ning shook Luo Wei repeatedly, almost pleading. "I'm going crazy! I'm going to explode any second now!"

"Fine, fine." Luo Wei couldn't argue with her.

He had barely finished speaking when the other person pulled him up, and the next second he was led out of the tent, leaving a group of people sitting there, still in a daze.

Wait, where's my big brother Lo Wei?

Lovely realized what was happening only after a long time.

“No, hey, no,”

She looked in the direction of the tent entrance.

"There's still a war going on, where are you going?"

However, only the wind responded to her; the two people were long gone and could no longer be heard.

……

Anai Ning brought Luo Wei to the battlefield on the city wall.

Luo Wei stood to the side and glanced at her still somewhat girlish back, the wind blowing her long white hair.

That's really efficient and decisive.

“Hey, Luo Wei,” Anain said, her expression unchanged as she looked down at the fierce siege below, “why don’t you just end this war?”

Luo Wei hadn't expected her to ask that.

“There’s a reason for that, of course,” he said.

“I sensed that you drew your sword in the direction of White Harbor Town today,” Anai Ning said, standing on the city wall. “If you had swung your sword at that prince, he would have had a hard time resisting, wouldn’t he?”

There will still be resistance.

But that wasn't what Luo Wei cared about. He looked at Anai Ning, not understanding what she meant by saying those words.

However, Anai Ning leaned forward slightly, and the next moment, she jumped straight off the cliff wall that was tens of meters high.

"?!"

Her long, white hair, as fine as silk, danced in the wind, revealing her gentle, jade-like forehead and clean-lined face, before falling straight to the ground.

Landing on the battlefield with almost no bending motion, the white-haired girl stood still, her light gray eyes unblinking, and gripped the black sword at her waist with an overwhelming force.

Meanwhile, the Western Army, busy with the siege, had not yet reacted.

"Black Netherworld One-Sword Style: Heaven Opening" -

In an instant, the light of heaven appeared in his hand, and the outward-radiating energy that could split mountains and overturn seas accompanied this strike.

And the person who took that blow was—

"Demon-Patterned Sword - Divine Blade of Destruction"

Luo Wei's figure flashed to the scene, the energy on his sword turning from black to gray, and he unleashed a demon god's slash with the outward-radiating divine light.

The clash of their swords was instantaneous.

boom--! !

The shockwave shook the earth, knocking down all the nearby Western Knights and even knocking over the magic cannons that had been set up. The entire battlefield trembled in shock.

Luo Wei stood to the opposite side, sword in hand, facing Anai Ning. His concern wasn't that she had disrupted his plans, but rather, when had she ever cared about such things at all?

Anai Ning stood there, raising her hand and gripping the knife on her shoulder.

Luo Wei seemed to understand in an instant—what she wanted was not whether to end the war or not, but to have a serious fight with him here.

"..."

Hey, are you kidding me...?

The figure flashed by in the next instant, and Luo Wei, who was raising his sword to meet the attack, felt a real force; clearly, she was serious.

Without needing to fear splitting the entire valley, her strength was fully unleashed outside. After a series of attacks, Luo Wei was forced to retreat repeatedly, and even when he managed to reposition himself, he struggled to cope.

Lucas, who was furious at the inability to break through the barrier, was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene.

"What are you doing?!"

He was baffled by the two who suddenly appeared on the battlefield and began fighting fiercely.

There are also three-tiered gods in the West. At this moment, a sturdy general in the army dismounted from his warhorse and walked eagerly to Scarlett's side.

"Which side are ours?" the man asked, stretching his shoulders.

Scarlett glanced in that direction with a complicated expression.

“Neither,” she replied with a complicated expression.

The people on the city wall also witnessed this scene.

Attana paused for a moment, and Ayining leaned on the city wall, looking down in disbelief.

"elder sister?!"

On the open ground separated by the besieging armies, or rather, on the battlefield entirely because of the two of them, the clash of swords was incessant and intense.

Urs also leaned on the city wall with one hand, while Goodman smiled without any attempt to hide his laughter, "This little girl is really interesting."

The three demon generals following behind looked at each other in bewilderment.

How did those two start fighting?

……

On the battlefield.

The Western Knights, who were attempting to breach part of the city gate, turned around and looked at this scene, momentarily wondering if they were hallucinating.

How could people be fighting in a place like this? Where did these two come from?

Lo Wei also wanted to ask this question.

He never imagined that simply being led out of the tent by her would lead to this situation. Who could have foreseen this?!
After catching dozens of slashes that were deflected by the wind pressure, a white-haired figure flashed through the dust and arrived. As he swung his long sword, his left hand reached out to grab him. After barely dodging, Anai Ning kicked, slashed, bumped, and flicked. Just as he lost his balance, she flashed behind him and drew her sword horizontally, cutting through a scene of wind and snow.

Luo Wei, gripping his sword, was knocked away from a distance. The moment he managed to stop his momentum, the attack resumed, leaving him no time to catch his breath.

He couldn't possibly handle an army of 50,000 men by himself. The ones he killed with a single sword strike were just low-quality mercenaries driven by profit, incomparable to regular knights. Moreover, Lucas's army had the support of the temple, and the number of SSS-level gods and angels was not small.

The reason for not taking Lucas's head for the time being is simply because it doesn't align with his desired interests. If the other side were to actually order the main force of the Western Territory to attack White Harbor, his head would have already been chopped off.

However, Anai Ning didn't seem to care about any of that. All she wanted was to have a fair fight with him here. Everything else was irrelevant. You could tell just by looking at how she was coming straight for him.

However, Luo Wei was puzzled...

Why me?!

If you want to challenge someone to a fight, why don't you just call Saya out? Wasn't she the one who made you feel frustrated and unable to win a satisfying victory? Why are you trying to settle the score with me?
His response was a sharp glint of a blade.

A series of horizontal slashes followed one after another. Luo Wei, who was beaten so badly that he had to run away with his head in his hands, finally had no way to defend himself and was forced to activate his demonic transformation.

Seeing his expression, Anai Ning no longer held back, and the two engaged in a magnificent sword duel in front of the enemy lines.

Lucas: "..."

Attana: "..."

Ayining: "..."

Scarlett: “…”

Urs: "..."

People on the battlefield had mixed feelings.

Lovely, Vimir, and the others rushed to the city wall upon receiving the news, only to witness the unbelievable scene below, leaving them momentarily speechless.

"Which of them betrayed us?"

“No,” Attana said, pursing her lips, “I don’t think so…”

"So they're really excited?!"

Luo Wei and Anai Ning were locked in fierce combat on the enemy's position, attracting everyone's attention while no one dared to approach. If they were on the same side, they could go up and help, after all, how could they not provide support when the fighting had escalated to this point? But in a sense, these two had nothing to do with this war at all.
In the end, everyone could only watch the two fight. Saya wanted to go up and stop them, but was stopped by Philica.

The protagonist of the battlefield.

Looking at it from a broader perspective, their actions could help disrupt the enemy's offensive desire, Philica thought.

With the barrier proving impenetrable and the battle stalled, their duel became the turning point of the entire war and the only variable at that moment.

It's only natural that they attract attention.

Vimir was also looking down at the city wall.

Their battle... was so captivating, drawing us in with the outcome of the war, that it felt just like the finals of an elite tournament...

The person most heartbroken in this whole situation is none other than Ayining.

Her gaze remained fixed on the two people, and a growing unease began to rise within her as she thought of many things.

She clenched her fingers with suspicion and uncertainty.

"..."

Sister…could it be that you…
