Summoning the Holy Sword

Rhode found that arranging for Anne to be the last contestant was a mistake.

As the MT, Anne’s ability to pull aggro had reached MAX. Originally, Rhode had seen that those people had no intention to fight, but after hearing Anne’s words, those people immediately brimmed with anger.

Moreover, Anne was not being provocative. In her opinion, what she said was factual.

But sometimes, the truth hurt more…

If he knew that Anne’s natural sarcasm was so lethal, it would have been better if he had just put her first. Just by hearing her few words, those mercenaries would definitely be angered and want to knock them dead. Then, they wouldn’t be so wimpy like before.

Unfortunately, there was no use in regretting it now.

As Rhode shook his head in regret, the battle in the ring had already begun.

Unlike previous teams, the strength of these people was clearly stronger than the people from before—that’s why they were placed last. Among these five people, almost all were from a top 10 mercenary group in Paphield. The two-handed swordsman was a mercenary from Burning Blade, the Thief was from Dark Fang. As for the other three, they came from Mark White, Blue Bird, and Sky Sword. Although those three weren’t as strong as Burning Blade or Dark Fang, they were still the best of the best in the Paphield region. Because of this, they were more aggressive than lower ranked mercenary groups. Originally, because of continuous failure, they had somewhat lost their confidence.

However, after hearing Anne’s words, they immediately flew in with rage!!

The two-handed swordsman was also unable to block such a powerful impact. Although he lifted his giant sword in time to block it, it simply unable to withstand such a barbaric force. The gravel left some flesh wounds on him. Even though they were not heavy injuries, the bloody wounds made him looked frightening.

“Attack together!”

Seeing that their comrades were attacked, the other four naturally didn’t stand still and immediately responded. Before, they were unable to interfere with their battle because the fight was too intense. They collided with each other like tornadoes, and so the others didn’t have the chance to butt in. They even felt that if they forced themselves to join the battle, they might get mercilessly torn them apart.

But now, seeing that their comrades had been attacked, they wouldn’t just sit still. Soon, the Thief from Dark Fang quickly shouted. As the others heard him, they quickly responded and surrounded Anne. At this moment, the elites from the top mercenary group showed off their skills. Unlike the third-rate mercenaries from before, they were not overwhelmed. To the contrary, they worked together to find a loophole in the battle by using their strength and experience.

Soon, they began to attack.

When Anne stopped moving, a gust of wind echoed behind her. The Thief moved like a shadow, aiming his dagger at Anne’s back. At the same time, the other two mercenaries also took out a sword and attacked Anne from two sides. Not only that, the two-handed swordsman once again swung his sword to attack.

At this moment, Anne was completely surrounded on all four sides.

If it were the others, facing such a situation, they wouldn’t know what to do. Although it was their first time fighting together, their strength and experience made up for their lack of familiarity with each other.

This time, Anne was facing five enemies at once. Even the one mercenary who didn’t rush in was shooting arrows at Anne. Obviously, he intended to disrupt her attack.

Facing such a scene, there was almost no hope for a comeback.

But Anne didn’t care.

To the contrary, she felt even more excited.

Good, things have just gotten more interesting!

At this moment, even though Anne was surrounded, she still held her heavy shield in her left hand, while her right hand slightly touched the shield’s surface. Followed by a sound, the shield opened up like a flower blooming. The shield transformed into something they didn’t expect.

Accompanied by Anne’s hand movement, the shield split apart into two shields. As the shield was transforming, Anne suddenly jumped back and welcomed the Thief’s surprise attack!

I got her!

Seeing Anne was taking the initiative to attack him, the Thief thought his attack would succeed and swung the dagger in his right hand without hesitation. It almost hit Anne’s head. In fact, he knew very well that the attack from both sides was a feint, and only his and the two-handed swordsman’s attacks were real. After she just completed a powerful blow, her strength should not have returned, so now was the best time to take her life!

But at this time, a dark shield suddenly appeared in front of the Thief.

What is it?

Perhaps this shield appeared too suddenly, so the Thief was unable to react in time. He stared at the black flower patterned shield in front of him. He even thought of something that was completely unrelated to the fight.

But before he found the answer, the cold, hard, and heavy shield had hit him in the face.
