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

Chapter 660 Pan's Test, the Last Straw That Broke the Situation

The three arrived at the scene as undercover agents.

Upon reaching the street below the cliff, the Templars and priests had already taken over the scene, and the phenomenon resembling a dark sun had disappeared.

But the damage did not disappear.

It was almost visible that a section of the street, nearly a kilometer long, had been scooped out like an ice cream ball, creating a giant circular crater in the city. The buildings near the edge were also damaged beyond recognition.

"Why...why?!"

"Let me through! I need to get through..."

From afar, the cries of the demon residents could be heard. The incident occurred in the city center, and judging from the situation, those who were there at the time had no chance of survival.

Nepsy lay on the roof and pursed her lips.

"This really is me..."

“I know,” Rowe interrupted her, “and this is probably the first time they’ve encountered something like this, at least in such a densely populated area.”

The damage is so extensive that a large section of the earth's surface has been removed, making it impossible to restore the original state in a short period of time.

When Luo Wei saw the Templar Knights and priests descend into the deep pit, their faces filled with fear, he vaguely understood why he had mobilized so many people when he destroyed the Forbidden Church.

It was clearly preordained.

The letter he received and his conversation with the Knight Commander also revealed that the Templars were not unaware of such matters, and may even have previously tried to prevent them.

But this time it didn't work.

"What exactly exploded just now?" Ah Hu Lili asked.

"The divine power of the dark sun."

Without hesitation, Luo Wei looked at the deep pit and said, "It's probably some trace left on ancient artifacts that somehow triggered the power left on it."

The present god, a first-level god, the god king of the dark faction.

Even the slightest force can produce such a powerful effect, but it is not something that can be triggered under normal circumstances.

What puzzled Lovi was that if such an action came from one of the Dark Families, why not choose a place with a high concentration of Templar Knights, but instead choose his own capital?

Even if the people don't trust them, they seem to have no reason to launch such an attack on their own city; otherwise, what exactly are they ruling?

So... was it unexpected?

Judging from his personal inquiry to the King today, and the Templars' current reaction, this matter seems to have exceeded everyone's expectations, and this situation always makes him involuntarily think of that group of people.

"What do you think about this?" Neps asked, her expression serious for the first time.

"The radar went off."

"?"

Luo Wei didn't respond to her question. Instead, he stood up from the roof. "Let's go. We won't find the answers we're looking for here."

This method did indeed remind him of those meticulous and thorough people in the Third World, who would detonate the explosives in this way to completely destroy the evidence.

……

midnight.

The three returned to Caias, the location mentioned in the Templar's letter.

This time, Neps didn't confront Rowe again. Instead, she stood on the tower and used her magic to sense things wherever she went, while Ah Hu Lili tried to smell any suspicious scents in the city.

Time passed by, and as the moon rose higher and higher, it seemed like it was all over just like that.

And at this moment——

"Boom"

The three of them sensed the abnormality of the magic almost simultaneously, and Rowe looked in the corresponding direction from the roof of the Templar Order.

"Quickly! Move out! Quickly!"

The Templar Knights filed out of the gate beneath his feet, completely oblivious to the people above them. Lowe simply watched them silently, then turned his gaze away again—

There, on the deserted street, a dark, corrupted knight's figure slowly rose from the ground.

"roar----!!"

A non-human roar, an overwhelming divine pressure that had lost its rationality, the armor on his body was that of a Dark Moon Knight, but what radiated from it was the divine might of a dark sun.

Unlike the dust-like divine core bestowed by the temple, this contamination residing in the knight comes from the subtle divine power that pried open the body, and can be considered a one-time thing.

The group of Templar Knights quickly found themselves at a disadvantage in the battle against their opponents—which was to be expected, as the corrupted knight was far superior to them in both speed and strength. Wielding a greatsword, he slashed and knocked the knights down as if they were melons and vegetables, their bodies embedded in the buildings. If it weren't for the priests protecting them from behind, they would have perished long ago.

Just as Rowe was wondering what these people planned to use against each other, several knights waiting nearby suddenly seized the opportunity and threw their chains—

Even though the opponent was agile enough, he lacked rational control. The knight's right leg was bound by two chains, which immediately emitted a starlight-like glow.

The corrupted knight knelt on the ground and wailed.

Luo Wei laughed.

He watched as the Templar Knight named Lukiran from yesterday walked up, gripped his holy sword, and delivered a fatal blow to the other man. He then stared at this scene before leaving the area.

Lukiran: "?"

The blond young knight turned to look at the rooftop behind them, but it was quiet and empty. ...

Back at the inn in Marusir, Neps was ashen-faced.

She clearly realized that this so-called "Night Walk" was actually a hunting game by the Templar Knights, and that they were hunting down famous knights and royalty from their respective kingdoms.

Is there an easier way to deal with key figures in the opposing camp? They could even do it legitimately and gain the support of the people in their vassal state.

And Luo Wei could naturally see that as well—

The country of relatives is also unclean.

Regardless of whether it was an accident or not, or whether the Third World interfered, triggering the power of the Dark Sun was definitely the result of their own decision, and the fact that the Queen's words did not match those of the other kings is also evidence of this.

Is this the test you've given me? Pan.

The problems of the Third World definitely need to be solved. Now, the options before him are "the Dark Families who use the power of the Dark Sun" and "the Knights Templar who use the power of the Starry Sky of Destiny"—he has to choose one of these two factions, or neither, or choose a new power.

Pan knew he had the power to decide these outcomes, so who he used that power on became the key to influencing the entire situation.

To be or not to be, to be an accomplice or a martyr, or to have nothing at all.

Luo Wei sat at the table, rocking his chair back and forth, a coin between his fingers as he quickly pondered these questions. In fact, he had the answer from the beginning; the only question was how to achieve it.

"So, what are your thoughts?" Neps asked from the side.

“I didn’t know the witch was so indecisive,” Rowe replied, leaning back in his chair. “Aren’t you asking for my opinion a little too often?”

"Isn't this what I'm supposed to do as a supervisor? Wait..."

She paused, then gave him a deep look. "You haven't already decided what to do, have you?"

They had only been in these five vassal states for less than two days. On the first night, he did a bunch of bad things under their names. On the second day, he stormed into their palaces and grabbed their kings by the neck. There were even four such victims. By the third day... no, it was only the second night. He had even figured out how to make a decision.

"Actually, it's not what I wanted, but things here are already close to coming to an end."

"So what do you intend to do..."

Nepsy drew out the last syllable of her words, conveying the meaning to him in the hope that he would understand.

Just then, another commotion broke out outside the tavern.

Ah Hu Lili almost immediately thought that some force had come to capture them, after all, they had offended almost every force in these countries in the past two days. However, when she put her ears and tail inside her cloak and pressed them against the door to listen, she found that the people in the tavern were going outside.

"?"

She glanced back at Lowell, who in turn saw the surging crowd outside the window.

His gaze slowly followed the direction they were heading, and when he saw the direction clearly, he suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

"...!"

He opened the window and jumped out. Ah Hu, Lily, and Nips in the room exchanged a glance and quickly followed in the same way.

Running through the night past the buildings, Rowe was like a streak of light darting westward. However, when he reached the riverbank, he was too late; King Marusir's headless corpse lay there.

"Today!" Templar Commander Byven, panting, stood before the corpses, raising his sword. Many Darkmoon Knights and Templar Knights lay dead around him. "I killed your king!"

The crowd watched this scene with bewilderment.

It wasn't anger or anxiety, but simply confusion.

This was undoubtedly a premeditated outcome, both for the other side of the river and for this side, and the process itself was very short.

Whoever's body falls here tonight will likely be the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

Ah Hu Lili and Nips also arrived at Rowe's side at this time.

They were stunned for a moment upon seeing the scene before them, but quickly understood its significance... If one of the five Dark Families were to fall, then...

Neps had not understood what he meant by saying the situation here was nearing its end.

But seeing the current scene, she understood—since the power of the Dark Sun had caused such a commotion in other affiliated countries, it meant that the forces behind it were planning to show themselves and close in. Otherwise, if the situation here were known to forces outside the Dark Affiliated Countries, the Temple of War and other continental institutions responsible for adjudication would not have ignored it.

Therefore, whether it is the Dark Families or the Knights Templar, their actions must be swift, they must be very quick, and they must make a decisive move before other forces on the continent intervene.

tomorrow……

No, I'm afraid that tonight, each faction will begin to respond to this.

Thus……

As the Templar Knights loudly recited the king's crimes, Nepsy focused her gaze intently on Rowe. If anyone could change the situation here now, it was him.

Loewy Brook – In this situation, what exactly are you planning to do?
As if sensing her gaze, and the look that Ah Hu and Lily were casting at him, Luo Wei nodded quietly in the moonlight.

"Let's proceed according to my previously planned strategy—"

"What do you want to do?"

Facing the gazes cast at him by the two women, Luo Wei turned away without any attempt to hide his intentions, then gave a cold laugh.

He looked at the street ahead:

"I plan to turn myself in tomorrow."
