Chapter 53
Gathering of Forces

After Ellica left, Luo Chen didn't stay in the Witch's Mansion for long either.

The reason was that, despite her reluctance, Lukurachia found herself resting in her room all day.

Moreover, she lost her grasp on the outside world and time. She was either unconscious or in a daze.

Having no choice, she had to use "studying magic" as an excuse so she could rest.

Seeing the witch looking so pitiful, although Luo Chen knew that most of it was her acting, he couldn't help but agree when he considered that without Ellica, Lukurachia was indeed a bit hard-pressed.

After letting Lukurachia rest for a few more days, he also got bored staying in the Witch's Mansion, so he decided to go out for a stroll.

After all, it was rare for him to travel abroad, and he seemed to have been a homebody, not going anywhere.

Taking this opportunity, he didn't mind traveling or taking a vacation, enjoying the local customs and culture of foreign countries.

“呼——”

The Mediterranean sun shone with a dazzling brilliance, and the blue sky was cloudless.

Cagliari Port, looking out from afar, the beautiful sea, like a green emerald, seemed to stretch all the way to the other side of the world.

When Luo Chen turned into a gust of wind, then condensed back into his physical form, it was already noon.

However, compared to the once beautiful port, although only a short time had passed, it was enough to describe it as a drastic change.

Because of the destruction caused by the previous manifestation of the power [Wild Boar], along with the aftermath and collateral damage, the beautiful port was now almost partly in ruins.

Although there were countless busy figures rebuilding, it had only been destroyed recently, and even many places hadn't been cleaned up in time.

Fortunately, the huge wild boar had mainly targeted the large buildings, not showing much interest in fleeing humans.

Unless someone was as reckless as Ellica, the wild boar wouldn't specifically chase after them. Of course, this didn't count those who were caught in the crossfire.

Speaking of the young witch, it seemed that after leaving with the maid, the girl disappeared as if she had vanished, and hadn't returned to Luo Chen's side.

She only occasionally contacted him through phone calls, or poured out her heart, etc.

After slaying the god, Luo Chen continued to stay in Italy. After all, it was rare for him to travel abroad, and he wouldn't be able to go back without enjoying and sightseeing properly.

Before, because of Lukurachia, he had been almost 24/7 stuck with her, never leaving the Witch's Mansion.

Now, he could make up for those days of being a homebody.

“Hmm… that guy left too, but it doesn't matter.”

He glanced at the bustling Cagliari Port. Besides some workers busy with post-disaster reconstruction, even the tourists seemed to have decreased significantly.

After all, with such an incident, no one would want to stay in this dangerous place.

Even a certain boy who enjoyed "peaceful life" also left Sardinia without staying after delivering the items.

He probably went back to Japan. After all, school would start soon.

Arriving at the port, Luo Chen, of course, didn't intend to stay. He wandered around aimlessly for a while, then planned to continue his journey.

However, just because he didn't want to provoke trouble didn't mean trouble wouldn't come to him.

Almost from the moment he stepped into this port, he was targeted by some forces... Well, that's not entirely accurate. It should be said that he had been watched by some interested parties ever since he stayed in the Witch's Mansion.

But these assembled forces had waited until Luo Chen arrived at Cagliari Port before taking action.

For example, at this moment, on the opposite side of the street where he was walking, there were several men dressed in a role-playing style.

Actually, it wasn't just them. With Luo Chen as the center, some peculiarly dressed figures started appearing around him. Or rather, the entire Sardinia was filled with suspicious figures.

These people all wore gray cloaks, looking very much like the Jedi in movies, or mages from fantasy films.

Because the hoods of their cloaks were pulled down low, their faces were hidden, just like the villains in movies, playing the role of bystanders or small-fry, or the minions of the big boss.

“Luo Chen? Please come with us. We don't want to get violent here if we can avoid it.”

Soon, after Luo Chen was surrounded by a group of cloaked men, one of them replied in a gloomy tone. He spoke fluent Chinese, but from deep within the cloak, it was obvious that it was a white man's face.

“……We've received intelligence. Ellica Bluntry, the knight from Milan, and the boy from Tianchao, have been moving around all over Sardinia together... Trying to find out who we are is pointless. Let's just say we belong to the ancient magic society. We want to investigate the 'god' that suddenly appeared this week.”

The men all turned their gloomy gazes towards Luo Chen in the center of the field. It seemed that the surrounding streets had been cleared, so this area was like a temporary enclosure.

“Ellica Bluntry and the boy from Tianchao seem to be tracking the god's traces, moving around. Then, on the morning of the day before yesterday, the god's presence suddenly disappeared, and the island returned to normal... Under these circumstances, we fear that we may have come to a possibility, perhaps, the god who appeared on Sardinia was defeated by Ellica Bluntry, and she has become a 'God Slayer' because of it!”

Just as these people spoke, as if sensing something, Luo Chen, suddenly filled with bloodlust, directly ignored the existence of the surrounding cloaked men, instead turning his gaze towards the direction of the cathedral.

Or rather, the direction of what was once the cathedral, but now a ruin.
