Chapter 85: The Hero Got Beaten
Alicia’s expression changed dramatically in an instant, and she hurriedly stepped forward to explain, “Um, please calm down, it’s not what you think, I actually…”
But in her furious state, Elrose wouldn’t give Alicia the chance to finish her sentence.
“Die!”
Elrose hugged her chest with both hands and shouted, her entire body surging with mana, unleashing countless mana projectiles.
Alicia was startled and immediately drew her rapier, holding it defensively in front of her. The sword gleamed, and Elrose’s mana projectiles were swiftly sliced apart.
After a brief exchange, Alicia remained unscathed, while Elrose was knocked to the ground by the shockwave created from her projectiles being cut down.
Alicia hurriedly wanted to step forward to help her up: “Please let me explain, I’m really not a pervert, I just came to…”
In the next moment, a terrifying wave of heat surged from behind her head. Instinctively, Alicia turned her head to see the girl who had just opened the door for her, now wielding a gigantic fireball as she brushed past.
As Elrose’s scream filled the air, Luna reacted the fastest, directly using wind-element magic to accelerate, reaching the second floor in just a few seconds.
With a quick movement, Luna stood in front of Elrose. She looked back at the pitifully vulnerable Elrose and glared at Alicia with anger.
“You, have some guts.” Luna ground her teeth, a fierce expression on her face, as if she wished to skin Alicia alive.
“Wait, I can explain,” Alicia quickly said.
“Then go to hell!” Luna shouted loudly, throwing the fireball in her hand.
The fireball collided with Alicia’s sword, and Alicia’s battle qi surged, directly neutralizing Luna’s attack.
No, this situation isn’t right.
Crystalline sweat dripped from Alicia’s forehead. The current situation had completely exceeded her expectations, and the girls in front of her weren’t listening to her explanation at all. Continuing to stay would only make things worse.
I need to retreat.
Alicia made up her mind and turned to leave.
But at that moment, a head of blood-red hair floated in the wind, and Lilith, holding a longsword, blocked Alicia’s path.
“Hey, where do you think you’re going? You’ve come all this way, shouldn’t you stay for a cup of tea before leaving?” Lilith said with a chilling smile.
Alicia’s expression immediately darkened.
In the narrow corridor, with enemies attacking from both sides, if she forced her way through, she would likely injure the two girls.
Just then, the big door beside her suddenly burst open.
Stella rubbed her sleepy eyes and slowly walked out of her room. “Oh dear, what are you all doing? It’s so loud.”
“Stella!” Everyone exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward.
Among them, only Stella had no combat ability at all. If that pervert kidnapped Stella, the situation would be troublesome.
At this moment, Alicia also noticed that there was a window in Stella’s room leading outside.
Without hesitation, Alicia dashed into Stella’s room and broke through the window to escape.
“Crash!”
Accompanied by the sound of shattering glass, Alicia fell to the ground. Just as she was about to scramble away, a massive figure suddenly lunged at her.
“[Triple Acceleration], [Strength Amplification], [Brute Force Blade]!” Kendrick shouted, lifting a huge cleaver and bringing it down onto Alicia’s head with overwhelming battle qi.
Alicia’s expression changed, and she instantly raised her rapier above her head.
“Clang!”
The sound of the knife and sword colliding rang out, and the immense force almost made Alicia lose her footing.
No, his strength is too great, I can’t hold it!
[Force Release]
Alicia angled her rapier and used the momentum to slip out from under Kendrick’s large blade.
But in the next moment…
Three sharp long arrows flew through the air, directly blocking Alicia’s escape route.
Alicia had no choice but to forcibly turn her body, barely dodging the first two arrows, but the last one struck her back.
The arrow pierced her thigh, blood gushed out, and more importantly, the arrow was coated in poison.
A strong numbness quickly spread through Alicia’s entire left leg. Just then, Cedric appeared in front of her as if teleporting, delivering a flying kick aimed directly at her head.
Alicia was about to dodge. “Thorn Maze.” “Mysterious Shackles.”
A man and a woman shouted simultaneously, and purple vines and golden chains instantly wrapped around Alicia’s body, trapping her movements. She could only raise her hands to protect her head.
“Boom!”
The powerful flying kick at the semi-holy level hit squarely, and the massive impact caused the vines and chains on Alicia to shatter, while Alicia herself was sent flying against the wall.
“Cough!”
Alicia spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to get back up.
By the time she managed to stand again, she was surrounded.
Cedric, Celia, Kendrick, Edwin, Ischer, Saya.
Half of the core combat strength of the former Super A-Rank Adventurer Team, Scarlet Wing, was right here, blocking Alicia’s escape.
Just as they heard Elrose’s scream, they all wanted to rush upstairs, but they had all drunk far too much just before, leaving them a bit disoriented.
They seemed to have been a bit affected by the alcohol.
Fortunately, even though Saya had just awakened, she dispelled their [Drunken] state and managed to catch the culprit the moment she leaped out of the window.
Alicia’s face turned extremely ugly.
The Eye of Truth activated instantly, and a massive amount of data surged in.
According to the Eye of Truth, standing in front of her were likely six experienced A-Rank adventurers, and their combination was exceptionally reasonable, cooperating closely with no visible flaws.
But ultimately, it was because she was too weak now. Even after resting for over ten days in the mansion, she had only recovered to level fifty-nine, while what she faced was a complete and well-trained A-Rank adventurer team.
How the hell am I supposed to beat them?
Forget about fighting; can I even run?
Damn, if I get caught in this situation, there is no way I can explain myself.
Kendrick stepped forward slowly, staring at the cloaked mysterious person in front of him.
He had originally wanted to ask what was going on, but he was stunned to find that even in such a situation, the person tightly gripped a piece of pure white underwear.
It was Elrose’s underwear.
Kendrick gritted his teeth and raised his large blade, pointing it at Alicia.
Death penalty, you, death penalty.
