Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

The noisy border of Acklin suddenly fell into a brief silence as if time had stopped.

Enrique’s smile gradually faded, becoming expressionless.

Chris turned pale.

Seeing the wounds on Lily's hands, Nora's eyes blazed with fury.

Members of Anna's Support Group hidden in the crowd all simultaneously stopped their movements.

The adventurers stationed at Acklin's border all focused their gazes here.

The knights' first reaction was to check the [Barrier]—they were probably also puzzled about how the lowest-level Barrier could have such an isolation effect.

Lily...

Lily's hands showed injuries that only occurred after electrocution.

No... this was no longer ordinary electrocution. It had already reached the level of torture or lethal electric punishment. Lily was nearly electrocuted into unconsciousness. Even though I immediately gave Lily emergency treatment, her complexion had weakened considerably.

"—Target confirmed, Amaryllis has appeared!"

An inappropriately loud voice rang out. Although it was already dusk, the nearest guard could still clearly see Lily's face.

Even if they hadn't seen clearly, they wouldn't have let us go. Our actions were undoubtedly confirmed smuggling.

One of the guards stepped forward first, but having come this far, there was no need to continue compromising.

I lashed out with my chains, striking the guard's head. The hard helmet was directly knocked off by the chains, the guard's neck twisted to one side, and he fell into a stunned state.

We had to break through!

Although the exit was right before us, I had no way to force through the barrier with Lily. With smuggling having failed, we could only temporarily hide and make other plans.

Using spatial transfer while carrying Lily was the best strategy. However, Lily wasn't my master. Without my master, I would need to chant an incantation.

With only Lily, the incantation time was extremely short, but my heart suddenly felt as if someone had forcefully gripped it, and the incantation was interrupted.

"Ugh..."

A man dressed as a priest opened his right hand, aiming in my direction. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel★fire.net

[Chant Interference]- a spell that only interfered during magical incantation, quite advanced even among interference magic. The priest seemed to be the knights' companion. Was he a priest under Duke Borgia?

With spatial transfer failed, what approached me again wasn't guards but well-equipped knights.

My chains instantly struck the foremost knight's head, but the knight only stepped back once, at most surprised that my strength could deform his helmet slightly.

The knight's pace didn't slow. He used his sword hilt to attack the back of my neck, apparently intending to knock me unconscious.

Another knight attacked from the flank, attempting to snatch Lily from my arms.

At this rate, there was no chance to use spatial transfer. Moreover, the failed spatial transfer from earlier still had some consumption, and that priest kept watching my movements while several warriors with heavy shields served as the priest's shields. Their division of labor was quite clear.

Chains spread from my feet, forming a safe barrier before the sword hilt could strike the back of my neck, bouncing the knights away.

The adventurers awakened as if from a dream, but their discipline wasn't as strict as the knights'. Acklin's border was instantly drowned in the chaotic shouting of adventurers.

"It's Anna and Amaryllis!"

"Kill Amaryllis!"

"We really ran into them?! Damn, I should have gone to draw cards today..."

Someone fired emergency signal magic into the sky, instantly making Acklin's sky bright as day.

[Morning Star]... the most powerful nighttime illumination magic. To be precise, it mixed principles of light magic. Although it couldn't last very long, it was more than sufficient for nighttime combat.

"Protect Anna!!!"

Hohenheim threw off his cloak and took the lead in intercepting the swarming adventurers.

Other members of Anna's Support Group also responded to Hohenhiem's call, each beginning to engage the enemy.

Someone was rushing toward me to support me. Their player ID was Misaka 10086, someone I had once competed with in drinking.

"Stay away from Anna!"

His weapon was an axe. He seemed to specialize in the warrior direction, activating a single-target taunt skill to hold back one knight.

"..."

The knight said nothing, turning to face the challenge head-on. Misaka 10086 attached fire magic to his axe blade, making the entire blade burn with flames.

The knight stepped forward, raised his arm, and used his arm guard to block Misaka 10086's falling axe.

"What...?!"

The axe couldn't penetrate the knight's armor. Instead, the knight, unafraid of flames, stepped forward and used his armor to ram Misaka 10086's body.

"Ugh...!"

Misaka 10086 groaned, spat blood, and retreated several steps. The knight reversed his long sword and pierced it through Misaka 10086's wide-open chest.

Throughout the entire process, the knight didn't even use magic.

With only superior equipment and combat skills, he had slain an adventurer.

I had long known that this game's regular army wasn't something players could toy with, but the gap had reached this extent...

I shot out my chains to stop the knights' advance.

They spoke no words, as if there were no flesh under their armor, their souls driving their actions.

A blade flashed, and a knight deflected my chains with his long sword.

They could keep up with my attack speed.

Another knight gripped his sword hilt with both hands and stabbed his long sword into the ground.

Immediately, a spike thrust up from below, leaving a wound on my calf. If my reaction had been slower, my Achilles tendon would have been severed.

This won't work...!

In my prime with a master, it might be manageable, but with only thirty percent combat effectiveness, I was definitely no match for Duke Borgia's elite forces.

They possessed terrifying individual combat capabilities stronger than any adventurer group encountered before, and their teamwork was flawless.

And I still had to protect Lily. If this continues...
