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

Chapter 652 Apostle Lily's Wilderness Survival Guide

Boom!

Thunder roared throughout the night.

After a day's journey, the two took shelter under an unusually large, deep red tree, and soon the rain began to fall in a pattering patter.

They set up supports, lit a campfire, and managed to build a small platform on higher ground despite the rain, enjoying the warm firelight in the night atmosphere.

Luo Wei took out several fish that had been prepared beforehand and put them to grill. Ah Hu and Lily hugged their tails and just stared blankly at the flames.

"..."

He could arrange everything perfectly, and for a moment it was impossible to tell who was the master and who was the apostle.

"Ouch..."

"What's wrong? Why are you suddenly making such a cute sound?"

Lowe quietly grilled the fish. If he was like a wary and hostile wild beast during the day, he seemed more like a docile puppy at this time.

Of course, he also understood that she probably felt like an outsider all along, but now she was traveling with him.

“I…I didn’t have the ability to help you solve those crises before, so…so being able to become your apostle like this is actually a very happy thing for me.”

All you can do while watching from afar is sing your heart out.

She had certainly fantasized about what it would be like if she had power one day, whether she could have a place for herself by his side, but she didn't want to take these things for granted.

and so……

After he told her that she was his woman, she was truly willing to give him everything.

"For example, being able to find me anytime, anywhere, without Vimir's knowledge?"

"Roar……!"

But these things don't contradict the fact that he's a scumbag!! Damn humans, how dare they use that kind of trap to lure me in!
Luo Wei smiled. Her thoughts were definitely far more than what she said, but it was good that she could say a few words like this, which showed that she also cared about her own presence.

He handed her the grilled fish, and the two enjoyed a pleasant dinner time amidst the heavy rain.

"How are the orcs in the valley doing now?" Luo Wei asked as the dog girl started throwing out the leftover bones and other scraps.

“To be honest, they still hate humans,” Ah Hu Lili said, tidying up the things around the campfire. “The united city-states came to apologize for the slaves they bought and sold before, but it wasn’t accepted.”

That's only to be expected.

Lovi knew that she had been busy with relations issues within the territory since returning to the valley. At least the orcs would not vent their vengeful anger on the humans who were their temporary allies, and the humans' impression of the orcs was beginning to lean towards a vague demi-human identity. This was a hard-won result, inseparable from her and Attana's efforts.

“There are many bad people among humans, but not all of the orcs are good either,” Ah Hu Lili said. “The Mother Goddess couldn’t bear to kill the spies sent by the Second Prince, but I won’t. Likewise, I must seek justice for those humans who knowingly violated the Fifth Princess’s commandments. This is my duty as the acting chieftain.”

"Speaking of your father..."

"I died while covering the retreat of my people. My mother also died when I was very young because she was busy with the work after giving birth to me."

Luo Wei closed his eyes. Although that's what he said, neither the hatred of the orcs towards humans nor the prejudice of humans towards the orcs could be eliminated in just a few generations.

Ah Hu Lili spoke of all this calmly, not complaining about the injustice of the world, but simply stating these facts in a calm manner.

"But after becoming an idol, my thinking changed drastically—"

She said.

“When I stand on the stage, I can feel that no matter what race they are, the way they look at us is not at us, but at what we want to express and convey. People have the same aspirations as us and are willing to immerse themselves in such emotions. So I think most people actually still hope for peace and those beautiful and pure emotions.”

"So even though we've stopped performing because of the war, we've kept practicing so that one day we can stand on the stage again."

“I can see that,” Rowe nodded. “After all, you were wearing safety shorts today.”

"Roar……!"

Ah Hu Lili bared her fangs at him with hostility. This guy really is a scumbag!

The rain showed no signs of stopping, so Ah Hu Lili got up and started rummaging through her bag. She had prepared a lot of things for this trip, such as maps, compasses, magic lamps, and some of them were given to her by Vimir, but none of them seemed to have been of any use.

Just then, she suddenly felt dizzy and almost lost her balance.

Ah Hu Lili: "?"

What's wrong with me?

"It's nothing, you just ran out of magic," Rowe said. "This is the result of fighting with all your might all day, and resisting the erosion here is also constantly draining your magic."

"me……"

She then realized that because she had relaxed for a moment, the fatigue from the previous battle suddenly washed over her like a tidal wave.

"Let's replenish our mana," Rowe suddenly suggested.

He had already used his divine power to cut the space here beforehand; otherwise, if they had lit a fire on this rainy night, it wouldn't have been them coming to take shelter from the rain.

Ah Hu Lili: "..."

She naturally knew what replenishing mana meant, glanced at him with a troubled expression, and slowly sat down on the wooden box behind her.

heavy rain.

The two, who had been playing hard to get, finally let loose and embraced their true nature.

After the kiss, the dog-girl pinned Rowe down on the box, meticulously cleaning every corner, and then proceeded a second, a third...

Enjoying an uninhibited resonance in nature, the two felt unparalleled emotions and indulgence.

……

That same night, in Marusir, one of the kingdoms of the Dark Families, black mist filled the streets of the capital city of Grey City. A demon man with long horns on his head and wearing a priest's robe staggered along the street.

He clutched his chest, looking like he was seriously injured, but he ignored it and didn't stop, using the wall for support as he ran forward.

"This place...it must be taken..."

Just then, his magic sensed something and looked towards the high night sky—in the heavy rain, a black-haired young man dressed in black stood atop the tower, coldly looking down at him under the glow of the red moon, his pupils displaying the vertical pupils and patterns unique to demon gods.

The demon man's pupils shrank dramatically to tiny dots.

"The Seventy-Two Pillars of Solomon...Asta..."

Faced with the man's terror, the demon god atop the tower did not answer his question. Instead, he raised his left hand, and a dark, monstrous dragon crossed the distance between them, mercilessly devouring the demon man in the priest's robes.

Astaroth, the 29th of the 72 demons of Solomon, is known as the "Black Lord".

After dealing with the man, Astaroth turned coldly on the tower and looked towards the other side of the city.

"That's the fifteenth one."

His voice was flat, and his complexion was as dark as his name suggested, befitting a demon god. He was gazing at the core area of ​​the Dark Sun God Cult, where a dark, reddish sun was slowly rising.

The sun almost stole all the light from the surroundings, crushing everything in sight, and the city remained deathly silent in the face of such a huge commotion, left to be washed by the rain.

Astaroth is also a scene in this silence.

His dark eyes were fixed on that spot, and then a faint light emerged beneath the black sun, as if someone on the ground in that area was fighting and resisting.

The next moment, the black sun gradually disappeared, and everything returned to the tranquility of the night.

"Did we fail?"

The demon stared coldly at the spot and spoke, then behind him, a holy sword slashed upwards without hesitation.

……

Five days later, in the Crimson Forbidden Forest.

A plump squirrel darted across a branch, crouched low, and prepared to leap from one tree to the other. It carefully assessed the distance, wagged its rear end, and then, ready, took the leap.

Snapped.

Having calculated everything perfectly, it crashed into an invisible wall, and slowly slid down it on all fours.

Inside, Ah Hu Lili leaned against the wall and watched this scene, biting her lip in embarrassment and unbearable pain.

For the past five days, she and Rowe fought in the woods, on the rocks, and by the wooden bridge, in any place they could see. Although she knew he had set up barriers in advance, his unbridled actions in the open air of nature still gave her a constant sense of urgency.

"Ha ha……"

The magic's power has increased again.

The connection between an apostle and his master is diverse, but for the two of them, there is no need to specifically use magic of the corresponding field to achieve a connection, and both of their magical power, in terms of storage and upper limit, is increasing.

The dog girl slumped down against the invisible wall, lying on her side breathing weakly, while the squirrel had long since disappeared.

Luo Wei put his arm around her back and gently lifted her up.

"Uh...uh..."

The two kissed for a while longer.

She really liked his kiss; it gave her a feeling that he possessed her and she possessed him. Even though it felt like she was betraying Vimir, she couldn't think about that anymore.

After packing their belongings and regaining some strength, the two set off again for the Witch's Guild.

The rain outside had already stopped.

After all, this wasn't the cursed rain of White Harbor Town. In the past few days, Luo Wei had taught the dog girl a lot about how to deal with and think in battle, how to judge the weaknesses of monsters, and the techniques to drive her own power. All of this was undoubtedly useful in improving her combat level, and she gradually became more adept at fighting monsters in this kind of place.

However, as they progressed, the monsters they encountered became fewer and fewer. It wasn't that they were avoiding them, but rather that there were monsters here that were even more dangerous than those on the outskirts.

Sometimes, Luo Wei had to take action himself, but Ah Hu Lili's ears drooped, and what she was wary of was not the monster at all.

He'd suddenly attack her at any moment, and even deliberately lure her into traps... He's a devil...

"Don't you think the surroundings have become normal since yesterday?"

"What's normal about it...?"

Normally, when faced with a dangerous situation, a person's reaction would be to avoid it. However, under his instructions, he practically traversed every potential minefield along the way, maximizing his survivability.

However, after he said that, the red mist in the air did seem to thin out a bit. The surrounding area was still a dark red forest, but the sense of danger was not as strong as before. Instead, there was a quiet and somewhat desolate atmosphere, giving people the feeling that a long time had passed.

Just then, the two emerged from the sea of ​​trees and found themselves facing a vast, boundless cliff.

The magnificent landscape made Ah Hu Lili's eyes tremble. She looked ahead and saw an endless depth below, as if the continent did not exist.

From here to the other side of the river, which seems to be disconnected, there is only a very simple suspension bridge, which is two or three hundred meters long and looks quite sturdy.

The opposite side was also land covered with deep red trees, and from this side it seemed to be a completely different region, otherwise they would have noticed the cliffs that stretched for thousands of meters on both sides along the way.

"It seems we're almost there."

"...?"

How did you know?
Luo Wei did not answer the question in the dog girl's mind, and closed his eyes while standing on the edge of the cliff.

Unlike those monsters and twisted monstrosities, since stepping into this forest—

He experienced "being looked at" for the first time.
