"Yes, even if the earthquake eventually stops, we'll probably still be dead."

"Damn it, all we want is to live an honest life, why is that so difficult?"

"Candice, thank you for your hard work, but don't worry about us. In this situation, you can't save everyone."

"Yes, yes, rather than be a burden to you, this old man would rather die now."

The villagers of Aru Village spoke up.

Candice pursed her lips, wanting to refute people's claims and tell them that she could protect everyone.

However, before the words could be spoken, a huge shadow suddenly enveloped the entire village of Aru.

Candice and the other villagers of Arru looked up in astonishment to find that the giant grass dragon had already landed on their heads.

"So we've actually gotten here?"

Candice muttered to herself, her heart suddenly filled with unease.

Even if Aru Village is far from the battlefield, she is still confident that she can save everyone in Aru Village.

However, after the grass dragon descended upon Aru Village, Candice lost all her confidence.

Just by looking at the enormous figure of the Grass Dragon, Candice knew that the battle between the Little Lucky Grass King and the Grass Dragon was not something someone like her could easily step into.

Even if she forced her way in, all that awaited her was another life.

Indeed, just as Candice had feared.

As the grass dragon approached, in addition to earthquakes, sandstorms, tornadoes, and other disasters successively struck Aru Village.

In an instant, a large number of houses were reduced to ruins.

Fortunately, Candice had gathered the villagers together, so there were no casualties for the time being.

However, as time went by, the power that Candice used to maintain her defenses against disasters grew weaker and weaker.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Candice was about to give up.

Seeing this, even the villagers of Aru, who had previously hoped to escape, began to join the elders in persuading Candice to leave.

They didn't want Candice, who had protected them for so long, to die here like them.

However, Candice shook her head vigorously.

“Protecting Aru Village is my responsibility as a guardian.”

"Even if I die, I will not leave this place!"

Candice said firmly.

That being said, Candice also understood that she couldn't help everyone get through the difficult times just by sheer willpower.

In the midst of the crisis, Candice inexplicably thought of her identity as a descendant of the Red King.

“Red King, although I am your descendant, I have never expected to obtain your power.”

"But this time, please grant me the power to protect everyone."

Candice gritted her teeth and spoke while battling the sandstorm.

"Do you want to gain power? In that case, I will grant you a little bit of power."

Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out beside Candice.

"You are...Lord Luo Feng?!"

Candice turned her head and looked at Luo Feng, who had appeared beside her at some unknown time, with great surprise.

Behind Luo Feng were Lisa, Xier, Ruan Mei, and others.

"I wonder if you'll feel any regret if I don't become the Red King."

Luo Feng smiled and threw the light cone containing protective power, "Materials of Memory," towards Candice.

The cone of light landed on Candice's chest, and a gentle force immediately enveloped her.

"This is... the material of memory!"

Candice's eyes widened as she read it in disbelief.

Luo Feng once lent this light cone to Klee, and Klee used it to summon an energy shield that could withstand the dragon's calamity.

Candice was deeply impressed by this.

"I have granted you access to the Light Cone."

"However, the extent to which you can use it depends on your own will."

"But I think you should be fine."

Luo Feng looked at Candice and said.

"Thank you, Lord Luo Feng." Candice nodded heavily, then resolutely assumed a shield-raising stance facing forward.

hum!

This was accompanied by the surge of energy from the Eye of God and the cone of light on Candice's body.

A water elemental shield, imbued with golden light, immediately enveloped the entire village of Arru, centered on Candice.

In an instant, the once noisy environment became quiet, and disasters such as earthquakes, tornadoes, and sandstorms all disappeared.

It was as if the entire village of Arru was isolated by the water elemental energy shield summoned by Candice.

[Dixia: Whew, that's great! I was so scared! I didn't realize the situation in Aru Village was so bad! I really need to thank Lord Luo Feng properly later.]

[Kavi: The situation in the desert is indeed very serious, but thankfully Lord Luo Feng has made it there.]

[Kaeya: No matter how many times I see it, I'm still amazed by the power of this light cone.]

[Jane: Candice seems to be using her own power to propel the cone of light.]

【Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhen Jun: It's the same situation as when the lady used Lord Luo Feng's light cone!】

Lord Luo Feng has granted access to the Light Cone, but the extent to which a user can utilize it depends on the user's potential.

[Zhongli: The fact that she can summon an energy shield to isolate the battle zone between the Grass Dragon and the Little Lucky Grass King shows that Candice's will is quite strong.]

"What do you think of this little girl, Cocolia?"

Suddenly, Luo Feng looked at Cocolia beside him with a smile.

"A very strong girl."

"In some ways, she's very similar to Bronya."

"Cocolia said."

"Right? Actually, this girl named Candice is also a guardian."

"However, the object of her protection is Aru Village, which is right beneath our feet."

Luo Feng smiled.

"To my shame, although I am the guardian of Aru Village..."

"But without Lord Luo Feng's help..."

"There is absolutely no way I can protect everyone."

"And now... Aru Village is already in ruins."
