I became a cannon fodder villain. If I want to survive, I must take care of my baby first.

"Let's go!" Erica immediately abandoned the carriage and called on her companions to leave.

However, the retreat route was blocked by thick shadows.

Dracula William spread his wide bat wings to block the way, and a strong aura of shadow emanated from his body.

A fireball fell with a loud bang. Erica quickly split the water flow into two streams, moved the others behind her, and decisively accepted the challenge herself.

Her heart was in her throat. Last time, she almost died after just taking two random attacks from Luo Shiqi. Now, in a direct confrontation, she had no chance of winning at all.

All Erica can do is try her best to protect her companions.

Dracula William would not act rashly if he wanted to cut off their retreat. Manjusaka and Doyle were busy taking care of the unconscious Carlossi and could not take care of this side for the time being.

Therefore, the task of capturing Erica and her gang will be entirely given to Luo Shiqi.

It was clearly the best situation, but the opponent was terrible.

The strongest magician in the kingdom can kill them with just a flick of his finger.

A large amount of water vapor emerged from the ground that was originally covered by the water flow. Without any hesitation, Erica used magic to jump a long distance behind her.

The golden pillar of fire broke through the ground and rose into the sky. The blazing flame was like a giant pillar supporting the sky.

If I were hit by that blow just now, the consequences would be disastrous.

Erica was breathing heavily, and before she could adjust her breathing, the next wave of more violent attacks came again.

The raging fire drew a graceful arc in the air, but to Erica, it was simply the slash of the god of death.

The fog and rain were still falling, and she tried to mobilize the sea water and raindrops to form a barrier in front of her.

However, the arc of light formed by the golden flames instantly cut it in half. Erica could not even stand steadily and quickly rolled to the side.

"Lord Mekalos, wake up." Manjushage helped Mekalos up from the ground without any reaction.

She cut her palm and poured the blood into Mekalos' mouth.

"How's it going?" Doyle asked.

"She is not injured, she just fainted from exhaustion. My magic can help her replenish some energy." said Manjushage.

Even she didn't expect that Carlos was safe and sound.

What was the purpose of that group of people? Was it just to rob the remaining things in the carriage?

Or did he follow him all the way but had no idea that the huge amount of treasure brought by Mekalos was no longer in the carriage?

"I'm glad you're okay." Doyle looked at the battlefield on the other side, which was full of flames, with a puzzled expression: "What is Luo Shiqi doing? Why hasn't he dealt with these guys yet?"

"This is his first head-on battle with humans, so he is probably being extra careful," said Manjushage.

Facing Warcraft and Marian's scumbag parents, Luo Shiqi can kill them all without any scruples.

Killing Donna, who had turned into a demon wolf spider, would not leave him with any psychological burden.

But Erica was different.

To be honest, Luo Shiqi didn't understand their behavior.

He is clearly doing bad things, but he has a lot of principles in his behavior in inexplicable places.

Initially, they wanted to rob the carriage of Mekalos, but in order to avoid hurting her, the action was not smooth.

Later, when Carlos distributed the treasure, Erica and others pressed her even harder.

Their actions are full of contradictions and cannot be understood by conventional logic.

They are not monsters, but real people, not black and white.

Luo Shiqi couldn't act as decisively as before, and he had to be especially careful about the measure, otherwise he would accidentally kill Erica.

However, his cautious attitude invisibly angered Erica.

Faced with Luo Shiqi's powerful golden flame magic, she was completely unable to fight back.

There is no choice but to flee.

But Luo Shiqi deliberately didn't use any harsh force on her.

This is not a battle, but a one-sided game.

In the intense battle, Erica had no time to think.

She didn't realize how strange her behavior was.

Even though Mekalos had returned from the Great Wilderness, the weight of the carriage had not decreased, so Erica thought that she still couldn't bear to part with her treasure.

That's why they rushed to snatch it before Mei Carlos returned to Liuguang City.

But as time went on, she felt more and more irritated, and her initial principle of not hurting anyone gradually relaxed.

Especially during the battle, she tried so hard to avoid the terrifying golden flames, but Luo Shiqi humiliated her with a frivolous attitude, looking at her miserable appearance.

The tense expression on that extremely handsome face seemed full of sarcasm and ridicule to her.

I really want to punch that handsome guy in the face and let him feel the pain of looking down on me.

Erica hated Luo Shiqi in her heart for making a fool of her.

But the fireballs kept flying towards him, and apart from hiding, he had no energy left to attack him.

It was impossible to defend against that terrifying golden flame, and the power of the explosion affected a very wide range.

Just dodging has consumed most of my energy.

Luo Shiqi's attack was fierce and swift, leaving no chance for the enemy to breathe.

Annoyance and dissatisfaction accumulated in her heart. If this continued, she would be played around with until she was exhausted.

"I can't let him humiliate me like this again!" After narrowly avoiding the terrifying fireball again, Erica made up her mind to teach Luo Shiqi a lesson.

Her eyes were fixed on the Lycoris radiata behind her.

From the beginning of the battle until now, Luo Shiqi and Erica have tacitly controlled the war within a certain range to ensure the safety of others.

But now, the humiliation and dissatisfaction in her heart made her have other ideas.

Of course, it is not necessary to do something as stupid as attacking Lycoris radiata.

Just pretend to attack her, and then find the right opportunity to escape.

Erica mobilized the seawater and gathered it into a high-speed rotating water bomb.

Her strength is not that strong. Without the help of her companions, even her active attack is not powerful enough to hurt anyone.

The moment it hits the Lycoris radiata, it will disperse in the form of water mist.

Let’s do it——

Just as she was thinking this, the water ball that Erica was controlling suddenly got out of control and accelerated towards the Lycoris radiata without any warning.

Luo Shiqi was accumulating magic power and concentrating his mind to launch the next attack.

In order to control the power as much as possible to not kill the opponent and to have enough suppressive power, Luo Shiqi put a lot of thought into it.

Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him to have the energy to protect Manjushage.

In other words, in the previous battle with Erica, he was too focused on what was happening at hand that he neglected to protect others.

In any case, the water bombs came so suddenly that they flew towards Lycoris radiata like a mad wild dog.

The speed and swiftness of the attack were so great that no one, including Manjushage herself, could react.

"Successful?" Although the process was very strange, it finally achieved the goal of attracting Luo Shiqi's attention and playing tricks on him.

Just as Erica was about to seize this opportunity to escape, she suddenly realized something.

Water bomb, out of control.

Erica was deeply aware that this blow would not turn into scattered water droplets after hitting the Lycoris radiata as expected, but would hit her with a momentum enough to penetrate a boulder.

Why is this happening?

How could I do such a thing?

What has happened so far?

This is not what I want to do.

That wasn't really my intention.

It's like being manipulated by someone.

Endless questions surged into my mind, dark clouds spread throughout my body, and my originally unwavering heart began to waver.

"I seem to have overlooked something--" While she was talking to herself, a high-speed water bomb exploded in front of Manjushage.

Lingxi Pal stood in front of Manjushage with his flesh and blood, wailing in pain.

"Pal!" Dracula William turned into a gust of wind and swept across the battlefield. He quickly came to Lingxi Pal, his glass-colored pupils were filled with blood, and his whole body was filled with an ominous bloody aura.

"It's okay - uh, cough, I'm not dead yet -" He struggled to say these words and then fainted.

"You will pay for this." Luo Shiqi's angry growl was heard by everyone.

He has a scale in his heart to think about right and wrong.

When the obvious facts were laid out before him, Luo Shiqi's thoughts undoubtedly leaned towards the side of judging it as "wrong".

"It shouldn't be like this—" Erica, who had originally planned to take the opportunity to escape, now stood there in a daze, and no matter how her companions called out to her, she did not respond.

A scorching breath hit me in the face, and golden flames shot straight into the sky.

Luo Shiqi's anger erupted at this moment, turning into endless flames rushing towards Erica.

"Erica, be careful!" Almost in an instant, a green light flashed, and the companions behind her rushed forward to surround Erica. The powerful golden flames instantly engulfed all five of them.
