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

Chapter 657 The Dark City Shrouded in Light
Under a secluded wall, Ah Hu Lili leaned against it, watching the outside movements to make sure the pursuers weren't coming any closer.

The witch Ulaunepsy laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight as she looked at Lovi.

"Pfft... Hahahaha!! Hahaha!!"

Laugh.

Luo Wei sat there with a dark expression. What had he done to deserve this? He hadn't done anything wrong and yet he had become a wanted criminal.

"You... Pfft, you... Hahaha!!"

“I suggest you go to the middle of the road over there and laugh,” Rowe gestured, “the guards here might not be able to hear you.”

“No…you, pfft…” Ulauneps watched as he couldn’t hold back his laughter several times, and finally could only chuckle as she spoke, “Is this the development you had in mind? As expected of you, pfft…I really didn’t expect that even my plans would be disrupted.”

"..."

Ah Hu Lili pricked up her ears and glanced in their direction.

"So what do we do now?" the witch asked him curiously, her smile still lingering. "I'm starting to get interested in what you're going to do next."

“What?” Rowe looked up at her. “You really think no one will care if you go out dressed like this?”

"This is easy—"

She shook her skirt, and several paper dolls flew up. When they landed, her attire changed from the way she lifted her skirt, transforming her from a witch into a noblewoman.

"Is this okay?"

The smile on her face changed from that dangerous aura to a serene and elegant smile, as if she had become a different person in an instant.

Facing the stunned Ah Hu Lili, she raised her silk gloves and smiled at Luo Wei, saying, "We can pretend to be a loving newlywed noble couple from a vassal state, and that dog girl will naturally be our servant."

Ah Hu Lili: "???"

“The proposal is rejected,” Rowe said without even looking at her. “But leave your outfit as it is for now; I have other options.”

“Oh?” Ulauneps glanced at him. “So, you’ve finally decided to join me?”

Luo Wei stood up from the ground without responding.

"If you're going to supervise, then do your job as a supervisor well."

"Besides, your name is a bit hard to pronounce, so from now on you'll be called Little Wu."

Ulauneps: "?"

……

Thirty minutes later, the three entered the Forbidden Church in the western part of Gray City through a side door.

"who are you?!"

"The Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods, Astaroth".

After answering, Luo Wei took the man's life with a single sword stroke.

Looking at the corpses of the forbidden cultists at her feet, Neps vaguely understood his intention.

"Aren't you afraid that the demon god will find out about this and actually come after you?"

"That's even better, then no one will be able to expose me no matter how I use this name in the future."

"..."

Although she knew he had resolved many horrific incidents on the continent, Neps had absolutely no idea just how powerful he was.

The three of them killed one by one in the long corridor under the red moon. Neps was originally curious about what grudge the Forbidden Church had against him, but when she saw the faces of the people lying on the ground, she realized that these people had all died once before.

Those who are forbidden to die.

The church here is quite something.

The three quickly fought their way through the priests and priests blocking their path, and caught the archbishop of the secrets getting up from the ground in the prayer room deep inside the chapel.

"Who are you?"

"The Seventy-Two Pillar Demon Gods, Astaroth".

Faced with the old man's calm questions, Luo Wei answered patiently, even becoming curious about what the demon god actually looked like. He simply changed his appearance to avoid having to answer everyone's questions.

But the archbishop saw through his trick.

“Heh…you’re not him,” the old bishop said, standing up with a posture far too upright for an old man. “You’re too early to fool me.”

The next moment, Rowe's hand, which was on the sword, plunged the archbishop back into the ground.

He opened his demonic eyes and said, "Does it matter to you whether I am him or not—"

"Cough cough... cough...!"

The archbishop vomited blood on the ground, and Neps hadn't seen any of the actions just now... Also, Neps was a name she had fought for, which sounded much more normal than Little U.

The next moment, the archbishop, who was still unable to move, suddenly exploded in a bloody mess. Luo Wei, who was not splattered with a single drop of blood, looked to the side and, ten seconds later, accurately located the archbishop who had just gotten up from the altar in the basement, and used his sword to plunge him back onto the altar.

Ah Hu Lili and Niepsi, who rushed over, witnessed a similar scene, and this time the archbishop, who was forced back into place, was clearly panicked.

"Who...who are you?!"

"Astaroth, one of the seventy-two demon gods, didn't you disbelieve?"

"I believe you...I believe you!"

The archbishop changed his tune very quickly, while Rowe stared coldly at him. "Tell me what's happening in this country."

"...?"

His eyes hesitated for a moment, then Luo Wei twisted the blade, destroying the flesh near the blade.

The archbishop broke out in a cold sweat from the pain, but he dared not linger and hurriedly said, "Why are you asking me about this! I'm just using this place to do our own thing!! What those Dark Sun people are plotting is none of my business!"

“A lie,” Rowe said without changing his expression, glancing at the witch beside him, “Do you have the magic to read memories?”

Just as he turned his head, the archbishop suddenly stood up to resist, but was paralyzed by a single glance from Rowe.

What...! Who is this person?!
"Since you know nothing, you have no value in continuing to live." He drew his sword and swung it down coldly.

"Wait! Wait, I know!" the archbishop hurriedly said. "It's the Dark Sun's group resisting the Templar Knights and heroes of the Light faction! Their plot was discovered, so several members of the Order of Light led an army to punish them. It's all perfectly legitimate! If you don't believe me, go ask the residents of the city!!"

"Oh?" Rowe looked at him with amusement. "So, whose side are you on?"

"Of course I'm on the winner's side. The leaders of the vassal states are all incompetent fools, how could they possibly be..."

Before the other party could even twitch a finger, Luo Wei killed him without hesitation using his power.

The archbishop's body dissipated into black lines on the ceremonial platform. He sheathed his sword and turned to look at the two of them. "His last words should be true. Let's go and confirm if that's the case."

After the three of them left the room, Luo Wei looked back and destroyed the entire space of the ceremonial altar room.

In the tavern.

The three hooded figures listened silently to the conversation of the demon people.

Not hearing anything particularly interesting, Neps smiled as she looked at the wine glass in front of her: "Speaking of which, do you have a grudge against the Forbidden Church?"

Luo Wei took a sip of the demon-brewed juice under his hood. "Killing their archbishop today is already giving them a lot of face."

Ha ha…

It seems he already knew those people could be resurrected after death, which is why he announced their names several times along the way. The archbishop died, and the church was massacred overnight. Just the news of this would probably make for a good show tomorrow. Rather than saying he came to solve the problem, it would be more accurate to say he came to create it... However, this might bring some things to the surface even faster.

Luo Wei didn't want to mention the Forbidden Church. Every single one of them had nothing to do with being innocent. Let them figure out the reasons themselves. They were also on the opposing side in the God War.

"Have you heard? The Templar Knights have been patrolling every night for the past few days."

"Looks like we're about to become a nation of the Light faction?"

"Heh, how could that be? But our country is actually planning something like that? If it actually happens, we'll all be doomed."

“I heard an explosion a few nights ago, but the priestess who came told us not to panic. Luckily, they were there.”

The conversation they overheard essentially corroborated what the archbishop had said earlier.

It appears that this place has been invaded by the forces of the Light faction.

Meanwhile, the leaders of one or more Dark Families seem to be brewing some kind of disaster, so the people not only don't resent the arrival of the Light Faction, but the security situation sounds even more stable than before.

“What an interesting situation,” Nips laughed. “What heinous crimes have the leaders of these countries committed to make the people so determined to overthrow them?”

“You didn’t know?” Luo Wei asked.

“Heh, then you’ll have to ask me,” Neps said, looking at him. “Who do you think guarded the seal on the Silent Forest after Ilush left? Wasn’t it me, her junior who had crossed paths with her?”

She observed Lowe's reaction, but he seemed to have no intention of asking her about it, nor did he care who she was.

So heartless...?
Ha ha.

Luo Wei already knew about her old, trivial matters, so there was no need to learn about them again. The problem they faced now was simply the conflict between the Dark Families' vassal states and the Light Faction's punitive expeditionary force. Where was Gui Wuhai? Where was the Third World? Damn it, they had to send someone who knew nothing.

"So what do you plan to do?" Once the conversation started, Nepsy became noticeably more talkative. "Like today, wipe out all five Dark Families? That way we can go back immediately."

“If you can’t offer any constructive suggestions, then you don’t need to speak,” Rowe said coldly. “Otherwise, I would prefer to replace the supervisor with a more useful witch.”

Having received no further information, the three decided to stay on the second floor of the tavern, since only two rooms were available. As they climbed the stairs, Nepsy complained:

"Oh dear, I really feel sorry for Ilush. She gave away all the good opportunities to others."

Ah Hu Lili: "..."

She glanced at Luo Wei, then said, "I..."

“It’s your decision,” Rowe said calmly, knowing that the witches’ words that day had actually influenced her. “I support your idea.”

Ah Hu Lili nodded: "I will keep an eye on her for any unusual behavior."

The two of them then went into the same room, while Lovi went into another room alone. Facing Neps's amused gaze, Lovi remained unmoved. Lily wanted to stand on her own, and these were issues she had to face. With the connection between the apostle and the master, a witch like her was nothing more than a slightly higher-level experience pack.

Moreover, he has his own plans.

Sitting by the window, watching the streets under the night sky, and waiting for the priests to begin patrolling the streets, Lowe quietly waited for them to pass by without making a sound.

Then, he slowly opened his eyes, opened the window, and jumped out.

Lily, on the other side, knew his movements but did not show any abnormality. She understood that he wanted the witch to stay where she was and investigate some things on her own, so she quickly took the initiative to greet Neps.

Rowe stood alone atop the spire at night, overlooking the city where something was clearly amiss.

alright--

Let him see what's hidden beneath this city ruled by the Light faction.
