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

Chapter 622 I even heard you call me "Mom"

Climbing along the mountainside, the two reached a foothold halfway up the mountain.

Despite the heavy rain, Qiluli was drenched in sweat, her inner lining sticking to her back.

It was only then that she learned that Mei Qiuli could fly.

Those short, black wings were enough to support her as she soared through the air, passing over those steep rocks, but carrying a person was a bit too much for her, so Kiruri didn't dare let her carry her.

fair enough……

At least there was no need to worry about her falling off from behind. Mei Qiuli was also watching from behind, ready to catch her if she slipped.

"But why would you specifically choose to settle down in a place like this?" Kiruri asked.

"Because... someone put me here."

"Is...is that so?"

Kiruri suddenly had some unpleasant thoughts; could he be some kind of pervert?

What kind of person is the other party?

"Hmm..." Mei Qiuli pondered for a moment, "Don't you like wearing clothes?"

"..."

He is indeed a pervert.

After resting briefly on the cliff, the two continued their journey when a muffled rumble of thunder echoed across the sky.

Qiluli looked up and saw that the rain was about to intensify. She didn't understand why the rain had stopped and started again yesterday, and she didn't want to care about the issues between the prince and princess anymore.

However, just as she walked to the side of the mountain wall and continued climbing, a black mist suddenly spread out beneath her feet.

"?"

Ciruri, who had already stepped onto the stone, froze for a moment, then was thrown back by an inexplicable impact, crashing into the rain-soaked ground with a whimper.

W-what happened? Enemy attack?

However, she looked around and didn't see anyone. Mei Qiuli also got up from the ground, just like her.

"what happened?"

Kiruri looked at the mist on the ground, not knowing where it came from, but it gradually became very faint.

The two remained in place, leaning against the rocks, on guard for a while, but nothing happened.

"strangeness……"

Ultimately, not wanting to stand there like a fool, Cirri sheathed her short sword. Whatever the reason, leaving this place as soon as possible was also an option.

Then she saw a figure gradually walking towards them from the direction they had come from.

Cirri almost immediately drew her short sword again—

When she finally saw who it was, her eyes trembled, but Mei Qiuli, whom she was protecting behind her, ran up to them.

"Dali?"

Cirrus loosened her grip on the sword with some uncertainty, looking at the black hair and the staff stuck in his back. This was almost the last person she wanted to see right now.

Mei Qiuli approached, but not too closely; she stood there cautiously yet curiously.

"Did you hear that from Miss Mary?" Cirulli asked.

"if not."

Luo Wei responded to her, standing there sighing as he watched the two of them. As expected of this little girl with long legs, she could run quite fast all the way.

Kiruri was taken aback by Meichori's attitude.

"Wait, you wouldn't happen to be that pervert, would you?!"

"Is this how you treat the person who saved you twice?" Luo Wei sneered.

Qiluli choked, such an annoying tone, it was definitely him.

Why is this guy chasing after me?
I heard that the two of them were going to the Rift Mountains alone and came here specifically to help. Could he really be that kind? Moreover, judging from Mei Qiuli's condition, she clearly already knew him. What is the relationship between the two of them?

Uh……

She thought it best not to ask, and was about to ask if the other person had encountered anything strange when thunder suddenly roared again in the sky above them, tearing open a gash—

Kiruri suddenly became alert.

Come again? !
The surrounding black mist gradually rose to the ground. Just as she was about to warn the other party about the inexplicable impact, a dark blue-black beam of light suddenly landed behind Luo Wei and Mei Qiuli.

“Wu——!?”

The light did not disappear after it fell; instead, it left ancient patterns on the ground like an illusion, and grew brighter and brighter.

it is as expected.

Luo Wei turned his head coldly in the light. Two days ago, he had sensed that the direction of the obsession conveyed by the chaotic divine core was changing. At first, it led him to the location of Tulas's death. It wasn't until Xiaomioni said that she didn't see Meiqiuli when she delivered the food, and the Adventurers' Guild receptionist mentioned this to him, that he rushed over.

and so--

It's related to one of those two girls.

"How long are you planning to stand there! Run!"

Finding that the teleportation crystal had no effect, Cirrus rushed forward in a panic, shoving aside Lovi who was blocking their way, and found it hard to understand his dazed behavior.

Don't you always think you're so great? Why are you spacing out at a time like this?
However, the thing that formed from the ancient magic circle made her pupils tremble violently in their sockets.

"...!!"

Looking up from the claws until she saw the terrifyingly large head, Ciruri almost collapsed onto her backside with her legs buckling.

………dragon?

A head as massive as a mountain range, its cold, vertical pupils locked onto him, its entire body radiating an ancient starlight glow.

Compared to this thing, the earthen dragon in the cave is like a rat that can be crushed with one foot.

"mom, Mom, Mom……"

Cirri trembled as she held the short sword upright in front of her. She had never imagined that one day she would stand in front of such a creature, not even in her dreams.

"roar------!!!"

At the dragon's roar, Qi Luli knelt down in despair, tears streaming down her face.

"Woo... Wu..."

She stood up from the ground, her knees trembling, without turning around, and said through tears, "Take Mei Qiuli and leave quickly...!"

Hearing no footsteps behind her, Kiruri took a step back forcefully, almost crying with anxiety.

"Don't let me down. I've made up my mind not to run away anymore!!"

"Let's go!!"

I'm sorry, Miss Mary, but I really did want to show off. Since I promised to send Meicholi back to the volcano, someone has to hold them off here since teleportation isn't possible, even if…

Qiluli swallowed hard. "Mom... I'm sorry."

The dragon of the starry sky slammed its claws down with a furious roar that threatened to smash her into bloody foam—but just then, a figure blocked her way.

The wind pressure caused the cloak beneath his black hair to flutter.

In front of her, Luo Wei reached to the side and pulled out "Ashir - Sword of Life-Severing" from the ripples.

Standing before the raging dragon, Luo Wei looked up and glanced at it disdainfully before unleashing his demonic transformation.

"Demon-Patterned Sword - Divine Blade of Destruction"

Bang!

With a deafening crash, the final strike swept past, slicing the dragon's body and claws into pieces, which then crashed to the ground before him.

Rumble, rumble——

Along with its body, the massive dragon head was also severed and crashed to the ground, landing squarely in front of Luo Wei, splashing heavily in the rain.

Eh.

Kiruri opened her mouth slightly, staring blankly at the scene.

She stared at the figure with his back to her, momentarily forgetting even how to breathe.

what happened.

It felt like a mountain had hit Kiruri's head.

She tried to make sense of the situation. If she wasn't mistaken, this adventurer named Dali was right in front of her... having defeated a dragon with a single sword strike? Wasn't he... a magician?
Isn't he... a magician?
She stared at that figure from behind, her eyes glazed over for a long time.

Her subconscious wanted to deny what had just happened; it was beyond her comprehension. Kiruri didn't even understand... whether what had just happened was real.

Humans can defeat such a dragon...? Is this... really happening right before our eyes? Wasn't he just an E-rank adventurer a few days ago?

Mei Qiuli cautiously approached at this moment.

"Luo...Luowei, did you defeat it?" She looked at the dragon's enormous head, still not daring to get too close.

"!?"

Kiruri's pupils trembled slightly.

"What did you just call him?"

“Luo…Luo Wei,” Mei Qiuli leaned against the mountain wall and looked over cautiously, “that’s what the white-haired girl called him.”

"!!?"

Lo Wei...?
Lovi Brook? Two years ago... the hero who saved White Harbor, the champion of the Elite Tournament, the champion swordsman of the Fifth Princess...?
Kiruri involuntarily broke out in goosebumps.

She lowered her head deeply, pursed her lips, then gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.

As Luo Wei watched the dragon's body gradually dissipate, he stretched out his palm and looked up at the sky. He sensed a complex emotion gradually subsiding from the divine core he carried, a mixture of anger, regret, resentment, doubt, and helplessness, all of which pointed towards Mei Qiuli standing there.

Why is the Sandman connected to the fate of this second-level god?
She had considered the possibility that the Sandman before her might have been the other party's true form, but these emotions were clearly directed at her by this second-level god's hatred—what could this naive and ignorant demon girl possibly have that would make this second-level god hate her? The two probably didn't even exist in the same era.

Looking up at the sky, in the gradually subsiding rain, Rowe seemed to see some kind of illusion—

Ancient heroes used rain to drive away their enemies;

The hero was executed by his own people after the victory.

From then on, the hero of rain used the divine core to curse the descendants of the people of this land, causing them to perish in the heavy rain.

However, the divine core was sealed, and the curse could not be fulfilled. The god's obsession gradually became distorted over the long years, but the curse on his descendants still could not be quelled.

To this day;

The same is true.

After watching these half-understood illusions for a while, Luo Wei fell into a brief silence.

In other words, Mei Qiuli is a descendant of those people. Because the Starry Sky of Destiny lifted the ancient seal on this divine core, the curse took effect, transferring all the hatred from the past onto her.

"you……"

Luo Wei glanced at Mei Qiuli, but couldn't bring himself to ask if she had died once; perhaps even she herself didn't know.

And the reason she's still alive...

Is this a third intervention of fate?

Loewy guessed that someone had used another artifact influenced by the Starry Sky of Destiny on her, causing her not only to be resurrected but also to transform from a human into the Sandman. This would also explain why she didn't need to absorb human life force, and why she was completely unaware of her origins, or even that she was the Sandman.

Loewy knew that transforming a human into a Sandman was possible; she wasn't the only one to do it.

This was also his previous guess.

But unexpectedly, fate granted the gods' wish, destroying Mei Qiuli's destiny, yet bringing her back to life and changing her fate that had been influenced by destiny.

Adding to the malice that the Starry Sky of Destiny inflicts on the person who holds this divine core, in the end, whether it is the Sun God Cult that uses this divine core, the obsession left by the god on it, or Mei Qiuli who has forgotten everything and cannot turn back, this is destined to be a lose-lose situation for all three.

Such incidents will likely continue to occur on the mainland. There will always be people like the Sun God Cult who begin to disrupt the wheel of fate, leading to a series of unpredictable consequences.

Mei Qiuli was probably thousands of miles away from this divine core before, and her country was probably... That's why she said that the harm caused by Randall was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

His reason for not killing Lucas was simple: he needed to convey the crisis of a siege to the entire continent and gather as many far-sighted allies as possible who were willing to actively support them. This was vastly different from killing Lucas and then writing letters for help—if you're already so powerful, what do you need us for? They needed to see their value and capabilities in this war, and only by demonstrating initiative could they gain solid allies. Rowe didn't need those opportunistic fence-sitters who came specifically to curry favor.

It's better to spare Lucas's life now than to make Lovely suffer later by currying favor with various forces. Killing him is easy enough; Rowe has never taken him seriously.

As he was thinking about these things, he noticed out of the corner of his eye that Qiluli was rushing towards him, but since he had concealed his identity from her, he did not dodge.

The orange-haired adventurer girl grabbed his collar aggressively.

But in the end, she showed no expression and had no reason to question him; all the confidence she had built up had been destroyed by this man.

I can't blame him at all; he even saved me for the third time. So what exactly made me decide to do this?

She let go of his hand and tripped over a stone on the ground, falling down with him. Already exhausted, Qiluli felt dizzy from the fall, while Luo Wei felt something salty seep into the center of his leather pants.

His face immediately darkened.

What are you doing... Even if I lied to you, you don't have to treat me like this, do you?
The girl immediately turned over and looked at him with eyes that showed she wasn't afraid of offending him.

Luo Wei frowned and glanced at her.

"You didn't wet yourself just now, did you?"

"No way!!!"

“I heard you call for Mom.”

"..."

Even though this person isn't a magician, they're still really annoying!
