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

Chapter 647 The world is about to be destroyed, let's play a game of sword fighting cards first.
One day later, in the capital city of Lion Garden, outside Melendall.

Watching the divine body of the "Fool Who Steals Things" on the ground turn into particles of light and dissipate, Lovi slowly sheathed his sword.

"never mind."

Hearing him speak, Nunu Ni, who had been hiding in the shadows, came out. Since she had experienced it once before, she wasn't particularly surprised.

“You’ve become much stronger than before,” she said.

Last time, he fought alongside that white-haired girl, but now he can suppress her all by himself.

At this point, the two were not in the city of Melendall, but in a very remote location in the surrounding suburbs—after all, unlike last time when they set up an ambush and waited for the other party to fall into the trap, this time they took the initiative to find the other party and attract them to show themselves, but the result was no different.

“Don’t be careless,” Rowe walked over and stepped aside. “I don’t know how many bodies He has left behind. If there’s any further trouble, contact me like we did this time.”

"Ah."

Nunu Ni responded.

My father originally established the Funeral Hermit Society in the hope of using an intelligence network to evade the pursuit of the deity himself and lay a foundation for future attacks, but he never expected that such a crisis would be resolved in the way it is now.

“I’m sorry…” she suddenly said, “The first time we met, I pinned you to the ground like that and held a knife to your neck.”

"It's okay, I'm enjoying it anyway."

"…enjoy?"

Nunu Ni couldn't quite figure him out, but it was normal for someone with a first-level godhood like him to have some ideas that were hard for her to understand, since there were only a handful of such people on the entire continent.

His rapid increase in strength is likely a preparation for a future showdown with the mysteriously disappeared Chancellor of the Lion Garden.

"It's nothing. Since the main body contacted you so quickly this time, it means that the problems on your body have become more unsettled due to the influence of the mainland. Don't be careless."

"Ah."

At least, he genuinely helped her, which made her willing to trust him, and sometimes she even found such trust unbelievable.

Perhaps it was because he was so powerful yet willing to trust her without reservation from the very beginning that she wanted to do everything in her power to reciprocate that trust.

He is truly an amazing person.

"Speaking of which, your general store has reopened, right?"

“Yes…this has always been my dream,” Nunu Ni said. “After the Lower City was built so well, many of the council’s leaders joked that we were going to lose our jobs.”

Not only the general store in Melendall, but also the orc massage parlor in Whiteport reopened after Lucas was no longer a threat.

However, Nunu seems to really enjoy running her shop. You can tell by how exquisite she made her shop. No one would suspect that a girl who is so focused and dedicated to her general store business is actually the leader of a god-like assassin organization in the lower city.

Ok……

Compared to her, Marin and his team were complete amateurs at espionage, not even having entered the door.

However, Luo Wei believed that she actually understood that it was precisely at times like these that their underground activities were needed most. They always had their own ways of adapting to the environment, so he didn't need to worry about them at all.

"Actually, I'm not the kind of person who can only live with hatred."

Nunu Ni lowered her head and suddenly spoke in the darkness.

“I know that one day you will face the Grand Duke who guards the palace,” she said slowly, looking at Luo Wei. “But I have gradually come to terms with this matter. After all, it was an agreement between my father and me. If there is any reason for this, it is to help you.”

"Yeah."

Luo Wei reached out and ruffled her hair. Nunu Ni was startled for a moment but did not flinch.

She then glanced at Melendall in the distance and said, "It's getting late. Let me take you back to the city to rest. The royal city has really changed a lot."

Lovi did not refuse. Accompanied and introduced by Nunu, he also witnessed firsthand the vibrant, revitalized Lion City.

The next day.

Returning to the valley via the teleportation portal, I happened to see Vimir charging the valley's optical camouflage, and then she came over to infuse the portal to Melendal with the magic to sustain it.

What nuclear-powered saintess...

"Huh...huh? Lowe, what brings you back from Melendall?"

While he and Saya were out dealing with troubles on the continent and pushing the situation forward, this guy could be considered a super home-guard. In fact, Luo Wei was at ease letting her go out to handle those matters involving him and Saya, after all, she was not so easy to fool now. However, on the one hand, Lia Lan did not agree, and on the other hand, only she could maintain some key strategic facilities in the valley. If she were not there and the connection with Melendal was cut off, they would be completely in the dark.

“I went there to take care of some things last night.”

As for the other type of unit that defends the base...

Luo Wei glanced at the ground not far away and saw Anai Ning and Chloe squatting on the ground... playing cards.

"I played my Commander card, 'The Fifth Princess of Libra'!" Chloe slammed a card on the ground. "Trait 'Libra': While on the field, the lower of all units' Attack and Defense stats increases by one level!" "What! Lovely has betrayed us!" Ananine clutched the card in her hand, exasperated. "It's okay, as long as I keep attacking, everything will be alright...!"

"Hey! Look at this one, 'The Knight's Spirit of Aselant,' now you're helpless!"

"It's not over yet!! Counterattack, 'The Female Assassin of the Thousand Moons'!"

"Useless, useless, useless!" Chloe stood up, a card between her fingers. "Time to deliver the final blow! I play my sure-win card—SSS rarity 'Black God's Lovi'!"

"What?!" Anai Ning knelt on the ground and howled in pain, "Even Luo Wei has betrayed us!!!"

Luo Wei: "..."

There are too many things to say, I don't know where to begin. How can playing cards involve betraying the enemy? Did she project herself into the situation? Is the person on the card even right next to her?

The card game they're playing now is called "Gladiator Cards".

As the name suggests, it is a card game based on the story and characters from the Royal City Sword Tournament, and it has three types of cards: Commander Cards, Hero Cards, and Strategy Cards.

In Lovi's view... Field cards, unit cards, spell cards...

The rules are simple: players take turns playing cards. Cards that are paired together on the board are compared in value. If the attack is higher than the opponent's defense, the card can be defeated. Cards left on the board without a counterpart can coordinate an attack with cards on the left and right sides. The higher of the attack and defense values ​​is taken. The side that is completely defeated first loses the game.

Originally developed for the people underground in the capital who lacked daily entertainment, it quickly became popular underground in the capital due to its ease of use and the strategic fun it offered once mastered. The exquisite card art and business opportunities were discovered by merchants and brought to other cities and countries, where it quickly became a popular entertainment activity. Last night, Luo Wei saw a group of people playing sword-fighting cards in the tavern.

He rubbed his forehead, exasperated. "Did you get his permission to have him printed on the card?"
However, it's obvious without asking who the mastermind behind such an outrageous idea is—someone who could afford such a talented artist and have the capacity to print cards in such large quantities.

They even have anti-counterfeiting measures in place.

Although I can't see your face, the slightly protruding chest of the "Fifth Princess of Libra" in that photo is clearly a deliberate attempt to imply that it's you in the picture. I would believe you if you said it was your third sister, Yuria.

"Hehe..." Vimir walked over at this moment, carefully holding a card, which was still in a separate card sleeve. "Actually, I opened one too, the legendary card of Rowe..."

"Love of the Black God"

Attack: SSS
Defense: B
The "Surprise Attack" trait: Launches an attack the moment it hits the target, which is considered an initiating attack.

The card depicts him with his eyes lowered, preparing to draw his sword.

As for rarity, it is determined entirely by the border and color of the card. Because he was the runner-up in the Elite Tournament, he was designated as SSS.

Please don't show me such embarrassing things...

Luo Wei rubbed his forehead and scratched his bangs. He was so embarrassed he could hardly look at her. She actually collected the cards separately. This was even more outrageous than the original gladiator badges. It was utterly ridiculous.

He also knew about Ryan's card art.

"Rayne the Flame"

Attack: SS
Defense: A
The "Cooperation" trait: When launching a coordinated attack, both offense and defense are increased by one level.

The card depicts Ryan with a determined gaze, gripping his sword and breaking through, which perfectly contrasts with his card. When placed together, it seems as if the two of them are simultaneously fighting against something, or engaging in combat with each other.

Its rarity is naturally SSS.

This especially shows how shameless that arrogant little princess is. Not only did she design herself as a commander card that wouldn't be attacked, but even her card effect is top-tier—Ryan only increases attack and defense through synergy, but she directly buffs the entire army.

"Ugh! Why am I the only one who can't draw Rovi?! I've already opened thirty deck packs!!"

“Haha… It’s said that the probability of getting an SSS-level card is only 0.01%,” Chloe laughed. “It’s even harder to draw Rowe in this place.”

What kind of devilish probability is this...

There wasn't even a guaranteed minimum reward, no wonder I saw people fighting over an S-rank card last night.

However, Luo Wei also admitted that this had a certain propaganda effect. Even if they hadn't seen the Fifth Princess, they could still have seen the Sword Fighting Card. The spread of this kind of thing was much more effective than complex battlefield intelligence.

"Why am I not in the cards? Why am I not in them?!" Anai Ning grabbed her hair.

She wasn't a member of the sword fighting tournament, nor did she participate in the Elite Tournament. It would be a miracle if she were even there... Not only was she absent, but neither were Vimir and Saya. They were all either Elite Tournament contestants or mysterious local forces in Melendale like Nunnune's "Funeral Hermits."

For example, Gavin.

Hmm, I wonder what this vice-captain thought when he saw his card, "The Knight's Soul of Aselant," at the Holy Maiden of Harp.

"Hey, Luo Wei, want to play a game too?" Vimier asked expectantly.

"What the hell are you talking about...?"

The world is about to end, how about we play a game of sword fighting cards first?
