The mournful roar echoed for a long time.
It instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Huh? That voice, is that Mr. Bert?"
"What is that guy up to now?!"
While undergoing examination, Lefia and the Amazon sisters' expressions changed simultaneously.
Although deep down I didn't want to talk to that foul-mouthed werewolf.
However, since he's screaming so pitifully, he should at least come out and see what's going on.
And the other side.
"...Has it finally appeared?"
Rives's voice was cold.
She stood up, clad in heavy armor, and stepped out of the shadows.
Those green eyes were filled with murderous intent.
135, you guys chat a little longer, Bert's gone soon (laughs)
Just as Liu detonated the stun grenade, she leaped off to the side of the stone steps.
Because of wind magic, Ryu can glide on the wind while casting spells.
While it can't compare to Ais's ability to fly and dive, it's still a very good skill.
With a few leaps, Liu successfully shook off Bert.
Hearing the werewolf's miserable howl behind her, a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Perhaps it was because they were inherently incompatible, but she was especially happy to see Bert get his comeuppance.
The town's inhabitants were drawn to the sound of the howl.
Everyone rushed out to watch the excitement—no, to observe the enemy's situation.
"What happened?"
"That sound...it sounds really ominous!"
"It's over there! Who could it be?"
"...This is, Bert, isn't it?"
Perth and Willie exchanged glances, their expressions complicated.
Although it was quite amusing to hear that grumpy werewolf let out such a scream.
However, this also means that the opponent is someone who can cause great losses to a level 5 powerhouse!
Could it be the murderer?
Upon realizing this, they immediately became tense.
Despite the large population of Rivera, when put together, it's a complete mob.
In the original work, when facing the Black Goliath, all sorts of scraping and bruising were done, and in the end, the protagonist had to rely on a single, decisive blow to turn the tide.
Now, if you encounter a true level 5 powerhouse, you're destined to be slaughtered.
Just as Pers and the others were trembling with fear and almost left,
The appearance of the Amazon sisters gave the crowd a much-needed boost.
"Don't panic! We have adventurers from the noble and great Loki Familia here!"
"I believe that they, with their broad-mindedness, upright character, and chivalrous spirit, will definitely help us overcome this difficult time!"
"Wow! Wow! Wow!" People immediately cheered!
"Huh?" Diona and Dione were both dumbfounded.
They had just come out of the house and hadn't done anything yet when they were used as shields.
As for Lefia, she was completely ignored; at level 3, she was practically invisible to them.
"Hey! What are we going to do, Perth!"
Someone asked a question loudly, suggesting that in this situation, it would be best for them to act collectively.
"Um, this..."
Burse was also at a loss, after all, he didn't know what had happened on Burt's side.
What if the enemy is incredibly strong, and I end up leading my men to become cannon fodder? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Just then, a black-haired, brown-skinned dog-woman flew swiftly from the direction Bert was fighting.
As she ran, she shouted into the crowd, "Murderer!"
"Mr. Bert is fighting with the murderer!"
Clearly, Ryu's persuasive tactics failed to convince Lulune.
This girl is cunning; she knows she has to use this kind of excuse to get everyone involved.
Without saying a word, she pinned the blame on Liu.
This is truly repaying kindness with enmity.
"What did you say?!" The Amazon sisters and Lefia were the first to be surprised.
At least Bert was one of their companions.
"That elven woman stole my things and tried to kill me!"
"Mr. Bert saved me; he's fighting that elven woman right now!"
"I'm too weak to help, you guys go and help him!"
"..." No one moved.
People look at each other.
Just because you're weak doesn't mean we're not weak.
Fighting a level 5 is like asking for a quick death.
It's not me who got into trouble, why would I go looking for trouble?
An eerie silence fell over the scene. Lulune stared in shock at the group of people, each with a different expression, yet none of them moved.
"Hey, you guys..."
She tried to say something, but was interrupted by Pers.
"Young lady, don't you know our skill level?"
"Going there would only be a hindrance!"
"Furthermore, you keep saying that someone stole from you and that Bert helped you, but ultimately, that's your own business, isn't it?"
What do you want with us?
He leaned closer, his expression cunning: "Or are you saying you can afford to pay all of us?"
"I!"
Lulune was humiliated, her face turning bright red, but she couldn't say anything.
Indeed, she herself said that the murderer was looking for her.
That has nothing to do with anyone else!
Just when things were getting awkward, Lefia stepped forward.
Her voice was gentle, soothing Lulune:
“Miss, I am a fellow member of Mr. Bert’s family. Could you please tell me what happened up there?”
"That's exactly what I just said!"
Lulune was still anxious: "That murderer suddenly appeared and stole my things!"
"That's it?" Thione raised an eyebrow. "Just took something, didn't do anything to you?"
"Huh?" Lulune instinctively protected her wrist.
Her eyes darted around, and she told a lie: "Well, Mr. Bert arrived just in time and saved me!"
Since no one knows the truth anyway, she simply pinned all the blame on Liu and that was the end of it.
Tione gave a meaningful look, exchanged glances with his sister and Lefia, and shared their thoughts.
"Okay, we'll handle it."
The Amazon sisters were eager to go and find Bert first.
They left Lulune with a deep, lingering look in their eyes:
"Don't wander around. We still need to have a good talk later."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that someone had finally stepped forward.
However, after all this turmoil, they are not the only ones who are prepared.
At a high vantage point in town, Rives unleashed all her senses, precisely capturing all the information.
After undergoing the transformation by the Fallen Fairy Essence, her physical body was significantly strengthened.
In the original work, she could even hear the sounds of battle from one end of the artificial maze.
"A murderer... very good."
She lifted the heavy mask and picked up a bright green leaf.
That's the very tool to awaken the carnivorous plant!
Let's cause a huge scene!
Hush
A sharp whistle rang out, like the howl of a small beast.
