Soon, Alexie was bound by four or five chains as thick as an arm. The huge shackles made it difficult for her to exert any strength, and the fine gold material made it difficult to break free for a while.
This isn't a matter of insufficient strength; it's like chewing gum stuck in your hair—you know it's easy to break, but it's still incredibly annoying.
If this continues, I'll definitely be in deep trouble once the archers arrive.
Alexie noticed the problem and shouted at Ryu:
"How annoying! Leon, lend a hand!"
Liu's side wasn't faring much better. Although he could easily tear apart the soldiers' bodies and create a vacuum around himself, the soldiers behind him couldn't see the battle situation in front of them at all. They could only charge forward blindly. The broken armor and weapons quickly piled up around them, and the weapons were no longer easy to swing. And this... was less than a hundred people.
"Alice! Don't let your guard down!"
Ryu gave a warning, stepped on the shield of the soldier in front of her, and used the momentum to jump. She stepped on the starlight, and the unseen longsword burst out with a whirlwind, the blade easily cutting the chains binding Alisha.
"Wind King Hammer!"
The gust of wind carried by the blade flashed by, and all the soldiers in front of him were sent flying.
"No, no! Li Ang, there are too many people. If each person takes half an hour to chop with one sword, they will definitely be exhausted."
She turned her gaze to Hill behind the army formation.
"Kill the ringleader first."
Having made up his mind, Ryu began chanting as he smashed the soldiers' weapons.
Alexandra also transformed into a line of fire, charging towards the center of the army formation.
"Ureahhhhhh—"
Boom! A huge burst of flames exploded, instantly clearing out a large area of space.
"Wind of Light!"
Liu followed closely behind, with countless swirling vortexes around her. She leaped over the spears and clubs that came slashing at her from all sides, her figure moving with ease as the vortexes fell to the ground.
Caught off guard, a soldier was struck head-on in the chest by the gust of wind and flew backward, knocking four or five soldiers behind him into the air as well.
Ryu kept clearing a path for Alexie, who dodged left and right, advancing hundreds of meters in just a few breaths.
She was surrounded by several high-ranking adventurers, including several level 3 experts. They always managed to find opportunities among the soldiers to disrupt Alexie's advance.
Alexie leaned back, dodging a crossbow bolt that came flying from the crowd. She could clearly see that the arrowhead was coated with a purple liquid—the venom of a desert scorpion.
The soldier beside him, after being grazed by the poisoned arrow, turned into a little green man in just three seconds, and before he could catch his breath, he turned into a puddle of thick water.
How despicable!
Alexandra turned her head and pouted, only to be met with three more crossbow bolts.
"Wow—"
She gasped in surprise, her foot slipped, and the flames pushed her back three meters. The next second...
ding ding ding...
Three arrows shot from the eaves deflected the poisoned arrow.
Lyra reloaded the arrow, her face full of teasing: "Alicie, have you been out of practice for too long? You're a bit rusty."
Alexie complained, "We've never fought a legion war before. Compared to the dark factions of Orario, the kingdom's army is far too numerous."
On the other side, Kaguya and the others, having dealt with the streets they were responsible for, all gathered at the main battlefield.
With their addition, the pace of progress increased countless times.
Those Lashap Familia members who still had the chance to threaten Alisha didn't dare to raise their heads under the pressure of the crowd.
If you stand out slightly in a crowd, you'll find that magic will fall upon you in the next moment.
The battle line collapsed in an instant, and the soldiers' faces showed expressions of terror.
Hill had already retreated to the very back of the army, and he said in a sarcastic tone:
"Level 5, nine of them? Are you kidding me! Which clan do you belong to? Even in Hero City, there aren't many with this kind of power! Could you be adventurers from Orario?"
He appeared slightly flustered, but quickly regained his composure.
He's killed before at level 5, and these people in front of him are perfect opportunities for advancement, all he needs to do is unleash his magic...
Purple runes lit up on Hill's body, and dark magic gathered in his palm:
"Hehehe, you guys are really something... You know, we have no chance of winning at all. Hahahaha! How terrifying! Ah~, how can there be such frightening warriors in the world!"
Riding the whirlwind sword, Ryu rushed to Hill's side before Alicia could react:
“You depraved compatriot, if you are ashamed of your crimes, then stand here and let me annihilate you along with your noisy mouth!”
Hill stepped back, using the soldiers' obstruction to dodge Ryu's slash:
"Oh dear, that's a real headache. To avoid being killed, I'll show you my invincible 'Warrior's Killer Move'!"
[Let the plague rage!]
[Love even more during the pandemic!]
Chapter 409 Liu's true love is...
An eerie purplish-black smoke billowed out, followed by a glimmer of dark light.
"Tsk..." Ryu covered her eyes and looked ahead again, but Hill's figure had already disappeared.
"Senior Liu, are you alright?! That strange light just now... was it a curse?!" Xia Jia arrived late, looking around warily.
"How did you get here? What happened to your killing move?"
Xia Jia said nervously, "I saw you were cursed, and I panicked for a moment..."
Recalling her experience dealing with the curse, Ryu, while holding her sword vigilantly, instructed:
"My limbs are unaffected, I don't feel any decrease in my abilities, and my five senses are not showing any abnormalities..."
"Be careful, curses are very troublesome; they can't possibly have no effect at all!"
All around them was an invisible black mist...
Xia Jia moved closer to Liu: "Hey, that guy disappeared!"
Just as Liu was about to nod, a chill ran down her spine. The next moment, she darted dozens of meters away, staring warily at 'Shaga'.
Xia Jia tilted her head: "Senior Liu, what's wrong?"
Ryu raised her weapon: "You're not Shaka, who are you?!"
"What are you talking about, Ryu? Could it be that you've been affected by a curse?"
Liu clutched her side, a trickle of black blood seeping from between her fingers.
Even when questioned, 'Shaga' in front of him still looked at him with a face full of worry...
"Ryu? What's wrong?"
……
"I've been infected! Haha."
Hill's lips curled into a sinister smile as he looked at the enemy trapped in his curse, a smug expression on his face.
His curse, "Beloved Plague," resurrects the target's deepest memories, like a plague forcibly tearing open a wound.
"What they see now is the most genuine 'love,' but those are actually my subordinates!"
"Yes, just like that. Pick up a poisoned dagger and stab it. Even a first-level adventurer will be greatly shaken and reveal a fatal flaw when faced with a beloved or painful memory! So, die!"
……
Under a curse.
Ryu stared in astonishment as one or two Shagas appeared simultaneously around her. Although she knew she was under a curse, every time she swung her weapon at a Shagas, she would see a look of astonishment and anger in their eyes.
Ryu couldn't look directly into those eyes.
That look in his eyes, devoid of blame and filled with disappointment and confusion, gradually dimmed and lost its luster after he swung his weapon.
Ryu disliked this feeling, but she had no choice but to create it herself time and time again.
until a certain moment.
Ryu's weapon-wielding slowed, and the number of Shaka continued to increase. In the end, she dared not swing her weapon at all. She could only awkwardly dodge the unseen attacks, trying to get away from the 'Shaka' in front of her.
The same is true for others, who are also suffering terribly under the baptism of their "beloved".
"Ugh." Ryu clutched her side, where the skin had turned completely purple.
"If this continues, things will get really bad."
Ryu has completely understood the effect of the curse and is also very clear about what Hill relied on to reach level 4 in the outside world.
Even the curse she saw through was so troublesome; what if she hadn't seen through it?
If someone you trust most attacks you from behind, how many people can dodge it?
There must be people willing to die for their cause.
