Volume 1 Chapter 453

Chapter 453: Her Name Is Kululu, Right?

"That’s strange…"

In the Ruins of Sand, surrounded by a large group of mercenaries, Kanor in a hot dog costume frowned slightly.

"What’s wrong?"

Ann beside her asked with concern.

Hearing Ann’s concern, she glanced at the distracted Dorothy and shook her head, hesitating to speak.

"It’s nothing, I just think the half-plane is different from what I imagined…"

Kanor made an excuse to brush it off.

Just then, she suddenly felt something in her heart, as if Sister Isabella and Sister Tina had earned some points without her knowing.

But considering that Master Lolth is not even in Hillenbrand Town right now, she might be overthinking it.

"Phew… Sometimes being too ‘smart’ is not good; I think too much."

Kanor rubbed her forehead and then shook her head.

She decided to think about the matter at hand and change her mood.

After jumping into the half-plane ruins, everyone quickly noticed the distant city like Lolth and the others did.

This naturally became the direction for everyone.

So they all began to move along the road.

Because there were many people, the movement went more smoothly than expected.

But once they arrived at the city, Kanor was unsure of what to do next or how to find Lolth’s location.

"Ruins of Sand, Ruins of Sand…"

Kanor thought deeply, recalling useful clues in her mind.

About the Ailuo race and everything she had seen along the way.

But she still couldn’t come up with anything useful at that moment.

After all, there was simply too much "unknown."

The End of Days caused a break in civilization, making all records unclear and hard to tell what was true.

She had a faint feeling that her mother, Ms. Fuen, might know many things, but Kanor hadn’t asked her before setting out.

Also, Kanor knew that her adoptive mother, while becoming more mysterious and all-knowing as she grew stronger, only shared what she wanted her to know.

She decided to go to the half-plane ruins, perhaps she could hide it from her two older sisters, Isabella and Tina, but she could never hide it from her mother.

But she said nothing, which meant there was nothing special to tell.

"Well… this is also a test of my abilities."

Kanor thought to herself and continued to think about a plan.

At that moment, Dorothy beside her suddenly made a soft sound.

"Huh?"

Dorothy seemed to snap back to reality, showing a hint of surprise on her face.

"Martial Sister Kanor… there are monsters here."

She said with a somewhat uncertain tone.

"Of course there are monsters, Sister Dorothy, but it’s okay… We can handle it."

As Kanor said this, Dorothy shook her head.

"No, that’s not the case."

As Dorothy said this, she looked ahead.

"I mean… there are monsters from the main plane here, and they seem to have made a pact with humans—perhaps they are someone’s mounts or summons?"

As she said this, Kanor’s expression became a bit more serious.

"So that means there are adventurers from the main plane here?"

"I don’t know for sure, but it’s very likely."

Dorothy nodded and replied.

Kanor’s expression became serious.

There are adventurers exploring the Ruins of Sand…

Could they be Old Harper’s old teammates, or maybe…

What about Master Lolth and her new team?

Kanor realized this and suddenly turned to look at the mercenaries.

"I have something to ask all of you—"

"You were outside the half-plane, holding off monsters and cultists for a long time, right?"

"Did you notice any mercenaries who might not have died but have strangely disappeared?"

As Kanor said this, many mercenaries looked at each other.

Everyone quickly thought of a group of people.

The "Elite Level warrior woman" who can instantly defeat legendary monsters and the mysterious "Sneaker."

And their six-member team, which seemed to have the strength of five Elite Levels but had not taken any damage while being chased by monsters.

Although they hadn’t noticed where they went during the chaos, now the missing number felt strange…

The team that shone just moments ago had completely vanished!

These mercenaries did not believe those guys would perish in the confusion.

Even the leader of "Fish Eye," Julie, had disappeared too!

It seemed that Julie had some connection with those individuals!

Seeing the mercenaries’ reactions, Kanor also realized that her guess was correct.

Before, she always unconsciously thought that Master Lolth could never make others notice her presence.

After all, Master Lolth’s ability to disguise herself was very strong.

But now Kanor found that this was not the case.

"Maybe Master Lolth deliberately didn’t do it perfectly?"

"Is she leaving me clues, or does she simply look down on doing so?"

"Or is she choosing to show part of her strength to ‘lure’ the cultist?"

For a moment, Kanor felt that her master’s thoughts were too deep and difficult to understand.

Soon, some mercenaries began to report this situation to Kanor.

"Um— I remember that a group of people did indeed disappear."

"Although most members are at the Elite Level, they are incredibly strong."

"It seems they are led by a noble, with a Hobbit and a guy riding a lizard, and there are also three women."

"The three women each have only Elite Level abilities, but they are very strong!"

"One has natural strength, and another has a connection to the Fish Eye leader!"

"One punch can knock back a legendary level monster!"

"I remember… that super strong warrior woman is named ‘Kululu’!"

Everyone was talking excitedly.

At first, Kanor was a bit curious.

Natural strength doesn’t sound like Master Lolth…

But as soon as Kululu said those three words, Kanor understood everything.

It was definitely Master Lolth!

And when Dorothy heard about the "lizard monster," she nodded slightly.

"That monster should be about the same."

"I see, so which direction is he in?" Kanor also looked at Dorothy and said, "We need to find him quickly. Even though I can’t feel Master Lolth’s presence, that guy must know something!"

Dorothy nodded when she heard this.

"I only felt a vague direction over there," she pointed towards the center of the ruins, "let me focus and sense it again."

Dorothy concentrated and then froze.

Her finger slowly started to point upwards.

"In… the sky?"

"And it’s coming towards us quickly?"

Kanor looked up.

A dark shadow was indeed coming down from the sky towards everyone!
