MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 566 - 54 Passive Waiting
Chapter 566: Chapter 54 Passive Waiting
"Why are you in Adonis, big brother?"
"This is a long story." Lu Hong patted Auli’s head and chuckled, "And you? Why didn’t you stay in the Path of Strength and instead came all the way to the Eagle Alliance?"
"There was a split within the Black Eye group, Sister Nightingale was purged by Caesar and had to flee in haste to the Eagle Alliance, and many Black Eye strongholds were exposed. I received protection from Hall Master Meng Hong and spent a few years safely in the Path of Strength."
Auli had only spoken halfway when the Holy King interrupted: "So you learned some skills over a few years and thought you were incredible, descended the mountain to help the weak and challenge the strong, only to fall into an enemy’s trap and get thrown into this isolated plane, crying out to heavens that would not respond and to the earth that wouldn’t listen."
"Shut up!" Auli quickly grabbed the giant bronze sword and threw it into the Space Ring.
At that moment, the soldiers manipulated by Konggelifu also recovered, and although their minds had been controlled, their memories remained. Recalling the merciless killings they inflicted on their brethren, tens of thousands of soldiers burst into tears, and several emotional ones even drew their swords, ready to kill themselves.
Lu Hong hurriedly interrupted, "Don’t, you are innocent people. Blame Konggelifu for his wickedness; this is not your fault."
With that, Lu Hong shouted toward where Philimon was hiding: "Philimon! How much longer do you plan to hide?!"
Following Lu Hong’s gaze, Philimon, trembling, stood up and appeared before everyone.
"General Philimon!"
"It’s Lord General!"
"Lord General!"
Seeing their former commander, all the soldiers cried out loud and rushed toward him.
Letting Philimon comfort the soldiers, Lu Hong had a lot to catch up with Auli, believing she had a deeper understanding of the current situation in the Star Sea.
From Auli’s mouth, Lu Hong finally understood the reason for his resurrection.
"So it was Hall Master Meng Hong’s doing, I indeed owe a huge favor to the Shrine of Strength this time."
"You shouldn’t feel burdened, big brother," Auli smiled. "Hall Master Meng was also considering the future of the Path of Strength, and after all, it was only the cost of a hundred years’ worth of divine crystal production from the shrine, not a big deal."
That made sense, but Lu Hong had his own principles and didn’t argue with Auli, shifting the topic: "Then why was I reborn in the Star Domain?"
"I don’t know, Hall Master Meng didn’t know where you would be reborn, or even if you would successfully resurrect at all. But I believed that you would be alright and would definitely return to save the Star Sea!"
Lu Hong gave a wry smile and shook his head: "I’m afraid I can’t do it this time. I’ve lost all my strength, and just a few days ago, I nearly died under the claws of a demon beast, lacking any capability to save the Star Sea."
"Ah?" Upon hearing Lu Hong’s words, Auli took a closer look and realized Lu Hong was only at the Fourth Level of the First Transition, seeing his low spirits, the young girl quickly cheered him up: "Don’t worry, big brother! You protected me before, and now I will protect you!"
"Hahaha, then I’ll take you up on that offer." Lu Hong changed the subject and continued to inquire, "Do you have any news about Danni, Lando, and Anna?"
He was particularly concerned about his women.
"I don’t know!" Hearing these names, the young girl’s mouth pouted.
"Uh..." Seeing her mood, Lu Hong immediately felt a headache coming on, contemplating whether he needed to keep his distance from Auli to avoid future troubles.
After calming down a bit, Auli still showed a sense of the bigger picture, saying, "I heard that Aunt Danni is restraining Caesar with the other six Tower Masters. I don’t know much, but at least Auntie is not in any life-threatening danger."
No danger yet? Auntie? Even though Danni had the demeanor of a married woman, she was still unequivocally a maiden. This malicious address as ’Auntie’ probably had no match.
Lu Hong rolled his eyes helplessly, "What about Lando?"
"It seems Aunt Lando has returned to hell, I haven’t heard about her for a long time."
Lando ... Aunt?
Lu Hong’s lips twitched slightly, really wanting to knock on Auli’s head and seriously ask if it was really okay to randomly call people like that. If Danni is Auntie and Lando is Auntie, doesn’t that make him an Uncle?
"As for Sister Anna, she always stayed by your tombstone and never left."
Auli probably thought Anna posed the least threat, so she did not deliberately slander her.
"Although the Continent of God’s Grace is also in chaos from war, the stronghold is very safe. The orcs and the Snowy Region’s army always deliberately bypass this place, so it has become a refuge for many. Sister Anna took it upon herself to take care of them, and it’s been tough for her."
Hearing the news about Anna made Lu Hong’s nose tingle with sadness. This woman had followed him all the way to the Continent of God’s Grace and never had a good day by his side. Now, she was still guarding his cenotaph... sigh!
"By the way," Auli suddenly began searching inside her Space Ring and, surprisingly, pulled out the Slaughter Demon Armor!
"How did you get this?" Lu Hong asked in surprise as he took the item. It was indeed a fine piece, but his level was too low... he couldn’t use it!
"It was given to me by Sister Anna."
Auli’s first stop after leaving the path of the god of strength was Lu Hong’s cenotaph. When Anna learned that Auli was the little sister Lu Hong had taken in, she took this barely suitable armor from Lu Hong’s belongings and gave it to her.
It had come full circle back to Lu Hong’s hands, but still, it was of no use to him. That was the most frustrating part!
It would have been nice if Anna had given Auli a holy sword instead.
That was a nice thought, but even if Anna had given it, Auli probably couldn’t have taken it with her.
"Auli, do you have a way to leave Adonis?"
Konggelifu was eliminated, and nearly fifty thousand troops had rejoined under Philimon, giving them a self-sustaining power in this dimension. The next step to consider was how to leave.
"No," Auli shook her head.
Since there was no way to leave, Auli ended up idly wandering this dimension, saving a high-ranking Deputy General from the Adonis garrison, and learned of the evil Konggelifu through him.
"Then call out the Holy King and ask if he has a way."
"I won’t!" The Holy King had watched Auli grow up over the years and knew her well. Auli was afraid that the Holy King would reveal her past to Lu Hong.
"Be a good girl, don’t make a fuss." freeweɓnovel~cѳm
Convinced by Lu Hong, Auli reluctantly took out the bronze greatsword.
And summoned the power of Holy Light to relay a message to the Holy King, "Be careful with your words if you don’t want to end up sleeping in the toilet."
At first threatened with the toilet by Lu Hong, and now by a young girl, the Holy King was truly speechless and began to suspect that the toilet might indeed be his lifelong nemesis.
The Holy King obviously knew of Auli’s feelings for Lu Hong and didn’t mind, since he was just a spirit after all. Why interfere in the matters of the living? Besides, both were acquaintances of his, and it was good for them to be together. What? You’re asking about age? Auli and Lu Hong’s age difference must be smaller than Danni’s?
"Cough, cough!" Freed from the Space Ring, the Holy King cleared his throat and then asked, "Do you want to leave this dimension?"
"Yes, do you know a way?" Lu Hong felt hopeful.
"No. If I had one, wouldn’t I have taken Auli with me already? Why would you even see me?"
"I thought so!" Hearing the Holy King’s words, Auli quickly shoved the bronze greatsword back, not trusting the Holy King at all.
"My mother?!" The Holy King didn’t finish cursing before he lost contact again.
Since there was no way out, all they could do was wait until a space Mage dispatched by Weiwei entered, and that would be their chance to leave.
Philimon reorganized the army and restructured the base at the burial site. Stationed as the highest commander in Adonis, he indeed had some talent in troop deployment and strategy. Thanks to his adjustments, the burial site’s ability to withstand demon waves had significantly improved.
In the following months, Lu Hong continually went out to hunt demon beasts under Auli’s protection. With Auli by his side to coordinate, even if they couldn’t beat a large group of demon beasts, escaping was not a problem at all. Auli’s strength was apparent; as long as they weren’t ambushed by the demon beasts, they were almost invincible in this dimension.
Thus, three months passed, and with the efforts of Lu Hong and Auli, they had killed over forty thousand demon beasts. Lu Hong’s level also finally made it past the mid-stage, entering the First Transition Late Stage Level 10, with the Second Transition almost within reach.
