Chapter 576: Chapter 414: Just Capture That Woman (3)_2

Suddenly, Angelica let out a helpless sigh while moving forward.

Then she stopped in her tracks.

She felt a headache coming on.

Her soft, golden eyes scanned the surroundings, and she could sense dozens of figures lurking in the dark corners.

Indeed, the fact that her master had assumed the role of the Pope of the Holy Court had left many dissatisfied, hadn’t it?

Although Angelica seldom involved herself in important matters, after spending so much time by Qin Chu’s side, she had gained some insight.

Those who dared not pick on her master directly could only target those important to him.

However, while there were many seemingly weak women in the palace...

...these weak women were not ones just anyone could afford to provoke.

In comparison, she was the weakest, and naturally, she had become the target of these attackers.

This feeling was indeed quite terrible.

Whoosh...

Just as Angelica had stopped, a large number of figures burst forth from their hiding spots, completely surrounding the demure and fragile woman.

Maybe because the Imperial City had been beset by too much chaos recently and the streets were already deserted, these people were brazen.

The dazzling, standard-issue long swords of the Holy Court flashed a blinding sheen under the moonlight.

At that sight, Angelica felt a surge of annoyance. At least try to conceal your actions when doing something this atrocious. They wore a layer of black cloth over their faces, thinking it would hide their identities?

"Miss Angelica, please come with us."

The man leading them spoke in a coarse voice, "We don’t want to resort to violence, it wouldn’t be nice if your pretty face got hurt."

"But if you don’t cooperate, don’t blame us for being impolite."

Angelica let out another helpless sigh, "Who has sent you, Kain, Galbraith, or Wright, Alger?"

"Haven’t you considered the consequences of doing this?"

A slight disturbance rippled through the group.

The man leading them laughed hoarsely, "Consequences? There are none."

"Angelica, you are smart, but why so foolish now?"

"Don’t you understand? As long as we have you, that man will never dare to act recklessly."

"So, you can rest assured, even if you don’t cooperate, your life will not be threatened. However... for other matters, I cannot say the same. I don’t want to get rough, but this is your last warning to drop that trash in your hands and surrender obediently."

Those words instantly made Angelica’s brows furrow in anger.

What was this bastard talking about, trash?

The food she meticulously prepared for her master was in her hands, and he dared to call it trash?

Angelica’s expression turned grim, and fiery anger started flickering in her eyes; to her, this was a humiliation to her master.

Magic Power began to churn within her slender frame, surging out in waves around her.

Seeing that the woman, even surrounded by so many of his men, neither surrendered nor even yielded, but instead was trying to fight back, the leader seemed to lose patience. With a wave of his hand, a dozen figures instantly charged at Angelica.

"Holy Light Guardian."

```

A milky white shield instantly appeared above Angelica.

At the same time, with a shuffle of her feet, the two swords aimed at her back missed their target.

Angelica had become more than just an ordinary Magician; she had learned Magic from Miss Violet and also acquired considerable physical skills from Miss Antia.

Though she did not possess Fighting Energy, her combat experience was incomparable to that of an average Magician.

Just as she dodged the attack from behind, her bare hand raised, and streaks of Holy Light quickly condensed in front of her, engulfing her surroundings like a rain of swords.

The dozen or so assailants’ eyes remained unflinching as they rapidly moved their longswords, and with a crackling sound, Angelica’s Magic was completely intercepted.

While these people were deflecting the Light Sabers, Angelica’s right hand opened, her slender fingers seemingly tightly grasping something.

Above the head of a Knight, a brightly shining hammer imbued with Holy Light suddenly appeared.

In the next instant, with a whoosh, the giant hammer smashed down on the head of a Holy Knight.

Poor Knight, his helmet was flattened by the blow, his head buzzed, and he couldn’t control himself as he spat out a mouthful of crimson blood.

Holy Light Magic was not known for having many offensive options, and its power was often not very strong, but Angelica’s strike was so forceful it took everyone by surprise.

The Holy Light Hammer just now, how could it be that even a Level 74 Holy Knight couldn’t withstand it?

Why was the Magic used by Angelica so powerful?

Watching the intertwined figures of the dozen or so people, the leader’s frown deepened, and a growing sense of irritation began to well up within him.

Angelica was also over 70 levels, not yet reaching the stature of a Great Sage.

Yet a dozen Holy Knights and Priests above 70 levels attacking her together were unable to take down this woman in an instant?

The standoff continued, with back-and-forth exchanges; within a short period, there were dozens of bouts, and Angelica did not seem to be at a disadvantage at all, fighting with equal measures.

The irritation in his heart intensified, the longer the delay, the worse it became for them. If other people, especially the untouchable women in the palace, noticed the commotion here, they would be doomed.

A few dozen men ganging up on one woman was somewhat embarrassing, but now there was no time to consider that.

The leader waved his great hand, and the remaining men also swarmed up, encircling Angelica tightly like an iron barrel, leaving no gaps. Even the leader himself drew out his Two-Handed Heavy Sword, with red flames crawling along his hands, enveloping the broad blade completely.

The next second, he leaped, his entire body soaring into the air with a streak of red flame, slashing down at Angelica.

The leader’s strength was clearly a notch above his subordinates, and a trace of solemnity flashed across Angelica’s face.

Using the Holy Light Guardian on her body, she braced herself against the longsword thrust at her side and darted to the side.

The movement of her body caused the basket to float up under the force of inertia.

In the next instant, with a hiss, the red sword light instantly shredded the entire basket into pieces.

Along with it, the carefully selected food Angelica had prepared for her master...

Hiss!

Angelica’s body instantly froze on the spot, her delicate frame trembling slightly, her pupils dilating continuously.

In her eyes, as beautiful as gems, a chilling light began to seep through, sending shivers down the spine.

This very, very obedient Maid, was unusually angry.

And this anger seemed to have also become a kind of stimulus.

Creak, crack, crack...

Strange sounds, akin to the shattering of glass, began to resonate from within Angelica.
