"Shit!"
With a heroic shout, a white figure swooped down from the air, striking the stunned Narberal with her epee.
Narberal quickly regained her senses and met the enemy's attack with her metal staff. As sword and staff exchanged blows, she felt a force much heavier than the ninja twins' previous attacks.
Narberal possessed dual-cultivation professions such as [Warrior], [War Mage], and [Armed Mage]. Her close-range combat ability was higher than pure magic users of the same tier. However, under this single blow, she was sent flying like a shooting star, unable to control herself, and slammed into the ground.
There was a commotion; the walls of the Marquis's residence collapsed.
Though she suffered slight damage from the impact, it meant absolutely nothing to a professional of her tier. Narberal rose from the ground with a slightly serious expression.
She saw a very obvious crack on the staff she had just used to parry the enemy's attack. In the game YGGDRASIL, when low-quality weapons clashed with high-quality ones, their durability would decrease, perhaps even breaking instantly. Such a rule seemed to apply equally in the New World—in fact, it was a definite law.
Can cause damage to [Thunder Cloud]? The opponent's sword must exceed legendary quality.
A mere reciprocal attack already put me at a disadvantage.
Narberal understood this truth and intended to fight the subsequent battle using magic abilities, waiting for an opportunity to find an escape route.
Unfortunately, the opponent was not so easy to deal with.
Bang!
The room wall suddenly shattered, and the tall Gagaran, wearing heavy bright red armor, charged at Narberal at high speed, like a heavy tank at full throttle.
[Leopard's Foot]!
[Shield Wall]!
[Reinforce Armor]!
Narberal quickly added strengthening effects to herself, continuously dodging the opponent's attacks with her flexible skills, and seizing gaps to unleash Sixth Tier Magic: [Thunderstorm].
Angry lightning struck Gagaran and then spread its power, triggering a massive explosion.
The house began to collapse after taking damage, and Narberal took advantage of the moment, rushing out of the damaged gap in the room into a more open area. Without waiting for her to adapt to the new battle environment, a barrage of beams covered her like a rain of arrows.
[Storm Shield]!
Cyan energy swirled with gusts of wind, creating a protective barrier above Narberal. Though shaken by the bombardment, she ultimately parried the torrential attack, creating a respite for her.
[Twin Maximize Magic: Chain Dragon Lightning]!
Two thick lightning bolts whizzed out, hitting Lakyus in mid-air without difficulty.
Strangely, such an attack was completely ineffective, and was nullified by magic immunity abilities before it could even touch Lakyus's body.
Seeing Narberal's dazed expression, Lakyus's face showed a faint smile.
Human species indeed did not possess special abilities, but through equipment reinforcement, she was also able to acquire extremely high resistance.
The platinum armor she wore was called [The Forbidden Demon Saint]. Its physical defense performance was only average among artifact-tier armor, but its protection against magic attacks was extremely strong. It could not only nullify all Sixth Tier magic below her level but also had a special effect of reducing received magic damage.
The maid in front of her didn't look as terrifying as those monsters, and should be the type she could suppress.
As her thoughts spun, Lakyus became even more determined to capture Narberal alive. As long as it was possible to capture her, it would be incredibly easy whether it was to extract information from her mouth about the Great Tomb of Nazarick organization or to publicize the Great Tomb of Nazarick's plot to seize the kingdom to the kingdom's people.
First, exhaust all her magic.
"Tenth Tier Magic: [Summon Angel]!"
Lakyus activated her strongest summoning magic, but did not choose a high-tier angel summoning. Instead, she summoned mid-tier angels with some levels approaching LV50 through tier reduction.
Under her control, the angels quickly surrounded Narberal.
Although the NPCs of the Great Tomb of Nazarick had higher strength than average natives, their shortcomings were also very obvious: they had insufficient combat experience and relatively rigid combat thinking.
Seeing the number of enemies increase, Narberal, without much thought, launched crowd-attack magic.
[Maximize Magic: Chain Dragon Lightning]!
Howling dragon snake thunder pulsed rapidly among the angels, hindering their movements while also causing thunder damage to them. However, no angel died upon being attacked.
This made Narberal feel complicated and she could only unleash stronger magical attacks.
Taking advantage of this gap, Lakyus activated the special skill of the [Valkyrie] class and summoned the hero's Heroic Spirit.
The specialization direction of her [Valkyrie] profession was different from Leinas Rockbruise, mainly strengthening the use of sword-like weapons, and the Souls of Valor naturally inherited this aspect of their abilities.
Ontology swooped down with the Spirit of Valor, quickly approaching Narberal under the cover of the Angels.
Although she had been attacking the angels, Narberal had also divided a portion of her efforts to pay attention to Lakyus's movements. Seeing her and the Spirit of Valor attack her, she suddenly felt the pressure multiply.
Undoubtedly, Lakyus was a greater threat to her than the angels.
Narberal quickly changed her attack target to Lakyus, while she retreated and tried to distance herself from the enemy.
[Maximize Magic: Divine Lightning]!
Lightning appeared out of thin air like a living creature, and converged into a lightning bolt above Narberal's head, emitting an astonishing breath of destruction.
This magic belonged to Tier 8 and was the strongest attack magic she was capable of using. Coupled with special reinforcement, she was confident it could penetrate the opponent's magic defense!
With a wave of her hand, the Divine Thunder Spear was projected and pierced towards Lakyus.
However, Lakyus seemed unhurried, slowing her flying speed, and at the same time controlling the Heroic Spirit to block it in front of her.
Snap!
The lightning bolt fiercely pierced the Heroic Spirit, causing a violent thunderclap and lightning explosion.
However, in the next second, the Heroic Spirit burst out from the explosion, making Narberal's pupils shrink.
The grey smoke coming off the white energy puppet showed that her attack did have an effect, but the smoke quickly dissipated.
It was only a magic attack in Tier 8, which was not painful at all for a Heroic Spirit that had the same attributes as Lakyus.
It seems, I might die in battle here.
In that case, I can't make the enemy too easy either!
Narberal's eyes gleamed and she was determined to fight her enemy to the death.
But what she didn't know was that before the battle began, Lakyus and the others had sent out a signal for assistance to everyone participating in this kingdom operation. The reserve team that was coming here was already shattered.
