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

Chapter 772 The Lion Garden in the Age of Ancient Gods

In the dim light, the sky appeared unusually dark.

Without the familiar sun and moon in the sky, the whole world seemed to have been forgotten, truly detached from its original place, yet faintly exuding a lingering aura.

The desolate wilderness, with its sea of ​​stars, exudes an ancient and tranquil hue, stretching along the land as far as the eye can see.

"You can open your eyes now."

Lovely opened her eyes on the spot, stunned by the sight before her.

After Luo Wei finished speaking, he looked back. The large portal was still there after they passed through, but it had lost its return function.

To be precise, it wasn't through a process, but rather a transfer within a certain area. Even so, transferring nearly 300,000 people was no easy task. They weren't the first batch to arrive; today is the third day of the plan.

"This is... the Shadow of Melendal?"

Not far away, Ryan and the others, who had arrived not long before them, gazed at the distant rocks standing on the protruding rocks. Jutman's voice trembled slightly.

Even with my experience of diving into the Guiwu Sea, the magnificence before me was still indescribable, leaving me only to let my senses take in all of it.

"I'd rather stay in the Sea of ​​Nothingness than see the world become like this—at least I know very well that it has nothing to do with reality."

“But Luo Wei said that Gui Wuhai was originally part of us and the world of the gods, right?”

The group was chatting, and Vimir investigated the portal as soon as she entered, only to find that she couldn't connect to it using magic.

In other words... there's no going back, right?

The fields below were filled with their army lines, totaling more than 200,000 troops stationed there. Soon, Deng Deli and others who had arrived earlier came to report the situation. Their army had come in and made arrangements on the first day, but brought some bad news.

Besides the fact that the passage is impassable, this place also contains many unknown ancient monsters.

"what do you mean……"

Seeing that Rowe's group was coming over, Ryan turned back to Dundley. They could tell that the army's posture was a bit off; it seemed too tense, as if they were on guard against something.

“You’ll see when you look over there,” Dundee replied.

Following his gaze, the group saw that, hidden by rocks, Gittichu and the others were piling up the corpses of ancient beast-like monsters, which looked like grayish-white dinosaurs.

If monsters disappear after they die, then these were obviously just dealt with, and cleared out only to prepare for the next wave of attacks.

"These monsters are actually quite strong..."

Deng Deli said with a somewhat solemn expression, "At least I've never seen this type before. It doesn't seem to be summoned. Its grayish-white color actually exudes an ancient aura."

Even the air here has an aura different from the real world, giving people a cold and solemn feeling. To be honest, it's not surprising that such a thing would appear.

“There are attacks almost every day, sometimes one after another. We originally planned to clear out the surrounding area, but we didn’t take any rash actions just to be on the safe side.”

"Your judgment is correct."

Lovely did not question the army's judgment; in fact, this was the original purpose of sending an advance force in, and the fact that no one had returned showed that this place was inaccessible.

"A monster?"

Luo Wei stared intently at the corpses. Traces of their dwelling could be seen near the distant horizon. These things were indeed violent and destructive from their appearance, and they were also full of oppressive power. Their thick limbs seemed to harbor profound magic, which was why they were so difficult to dissipate after death.

At that moment, Celis walked over from the front.

“I’ve seen these things before,” she said.

As she said this, she glanced at Luo Wei, who quickly understood that these were probably the same type of ancient beasts that ravaged the wilderness in the old era, remnants of the ancient gods.

Celis became a god by constantly hunting these things in that place and absorbing all the ancient power left in the wilderness.

"It seems this place doesn't welcome us, does it?"

Luo Wei smiled coldly. The army behind him continued to pass through the portal, and everyone waited for Saya to return from scouting the terrain.

"How about it?"

“This place is unusually large, and I don’t know if it’s just my imagination,” Saya said, frowning. “Although the terrain has changed a lot, this place feels like Melendall to me.”

"That can't be your imagination."

Luo Wei nodded. Having something that could fly in the sky would indeed save a lot of trouble at this time. Saya had seen the sky from the sky quite a few times in the royal city. Since she said it looked like it, it was probably true.

Ayining pursed her lips.

"Merendal... in ancient times? I remember it was called Ancient City Amelenditel back then, right?"

"I've heard of it..."

After the story was told, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. After all, it was something that happened 1,200 years ago during the ancient god era, and the monsters left over from that era could indeed be traced back to that period.

But obviously.

None of them were active during that era; the earliest they were born were after the War of the Gods. Attana was a high-level phantom beast born from the desires of the orcs, and Celis's hunting of ancient beasts was a matter of a thousand to eight hundred years ago.

“I… have also dealt with these things,” Arttana said with difficulty, “but it was a long time ago. The four hundred years between the end of the War of the Gods and eight hundred years ago were indeed a very turbulent period.”

"Is it because these things also attack orc territory?"

"…Um."

The Mother Goddess nodded, not concealing her past deeds of actively hunting these creatures, though she hadn't encountered many, and at that time, some powerful members of the orc race remained.

Jass stood aside and listened silently, then turned his gaze to the corpses of the ancient beasts.

“Ah ha…maybe I’m the elder here!” Marbas, who had been eavesdropping unnoticed, said.

"You... have a lifespan of over twelve hundred years?"

"Of course! But I don't remember anything about this place! My memories haven't fully returned!"

Ayining: "..."

Then what you said is as good as nothing.

Lovi wasn't surprised. The traces left by the Lion's Nest during the ancient god era were long gone. Back then, humanity was under the rule of the ancient gods, and nations were merely a means of worshipping them. Even if Marbas had left traces of activity during that era, it didn't mean she had been to the Lion's Nest. And even if there were similar figures in the army, it would be difficult to find one with detailed knowledge of the place.

"The Lion Garden of ancient times?"

Luo Wei knew about the existence of things like the Dark Era, but even he knew very little about the past of that period.

Vimiel pursed her lips.

"We... have really arrived at an incredible place."

"Let's find a suitable place to establish a base first."

Luo Wei closed his eyes and looked into the distance. "If I'm not mistaken, if there is an 'Ancient Capital Amerentidetel' here, it has probably already been occupied by Randall."

The origin of everything.

What exactly is he trying to find buried here?
……

Inside the Three-Day Radiant Ring, the shadows of Melendal.

Beneath the illusory, flickering bands of light, a pink bird spreads its wings and flies across the dark wasteland, reaching the sky above the distant, majestic ancient city. It leaps from the castle into a window and transforms into a young girl.

"What... what's going on?"

The Dream Witch Corina, now back in human form, adjusted her hat and tidied her long, pink curly hair, looking as if she was still shaken.

"This is the third day already, why are their people still coming in?!"

In contrast to her surprise, the witch sitting on the recliner in the room did not respond at all, quietly flipping through a book in her hand.

Corina quickly walked up to her.

"That entourage looks like it's carrying an entire nation! Just how many people did your lover bring in...?"

"Watch your wording."

Ilus turned the pages of her book, unmoved and not even glancing at her, not even moving her chair.

Corina didn't care about any of that.

"Let me tell you... the army that's just coming in now is almost twice our numbers. This is no joke. How can it take three days to get through a portal? That's outrageous!"

"so what."

Ilus's lips curled into a faint expression, her indifferent gaze suggesting she didn't care.

Corina didn't know how to describe it to the other party. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes through her familiar, she wouldn't have believed how huge an army was gathering there. Although it was still quite a distance away, she had never seen such a sight in her life.

“Those aren’t civilians, they’re all soldiers in armor… wait,” she looked at the other person with some surprise, “aren’t you going to check? It’s been three days already.”

"What am I confirming?"

"Your... lover? Uh... well, someone you're involved with, right?"

Corina said, not knowing how to describe it.

Where did that guy find such a large army? Has he already unified the continent? Just a year ago, even including civilians, there were only a few thousand...

I was originally planning to wait for the other person to overestimate themselves and then settle scores for calling her a "supporting character" type, but now...

"Sigh, if it's related to you, they'll probably treat prisoners well..."

Corina lowered her head and said.

Ilus slowly closed the book in her hand.

She gently placed her hands flat on her lower abdomen and calmly looked at Corina in front of her.

“How many people come in is none of my business,” she said. “Besides, have you mistaken me for someone else? I don’t think I’m one of your people.”

"Uh……"

Corina swallowed her words.

"Actually, I saw Ulauneps among those people."

"is it?"

Ilus's response remained indifferent; she turned her head to the other side.

Corina knew, of course, that she had nothing to do with the current battle, but to say she was completely unrelated was not quite true... After all, she was here with her own purpose.

"I just think it's not a good idea for you to stay here all the time. At least send a familiar to take a look, okay?"

"I didn't bring any familiars, nor did I have any intention of creating any."

“Is that so…” Clina hesitated for a moment, “I can understand how you feel. If you’re used to living alone, you don’t need a familiar to accompany you unless you really have something to say but can’t find a suitable person to confide in.”

Ilus gave her a look that deepened in her eyes.

Has anyone ever told you that you have a habit of adding your own ideas to other people's?

"Really? I don't think so."

Corina took off her hat and patted it off. Just then, a magical fluctuation gradually appeared, swirling around Ilush. She gently raised her hand and triggered the magic.

Suddenly, a small, black, furry ball of fluff popped out of the space and leaped onto the armrest of the recliner, swaying happily.

Corina stared blankly for a moment before glancing at the little guy.

"Didn't you say you didn't accept familiars?"

"..."

Ilus said nothing, but simply took some wood shavings from her magical space and fed them to her.
