Chapter 82 - This isn't coming for me, it's coming for Ryu...
A curse is a power that lacks the immense force of magic, but is far more dangerous and eerie. A bewitching curse that causes warriors to suddenly turn their swords against their own comrades. A curse that turns powerful mages into ordinary people. An incurable curse that makes wounds impossible to heal and causes blood to drain away. In addition, there are other curses such as berserk, weakness, and fatigue.
An adventurer's Abnormal Resistance is meaningless in this regard. If they don't defeat the caster or use special methods to break the curse and defend themselves, they will be tormented to death by the curse.
While cursed tools made by sorcerers are generally inferior to regular magic, like most Magic swords, they are still quite dangerous and are rare even among special weapons. If it were just one or two items, it would be fine, but dozens of similar magical items in front of them are impossible to find without a specialized mass production method. This indicates that there are adventurers within Evilus who possess the ability to develop Mystery.
Unlike Noah, who was aware of the other details, Ryu's eyes were practically bloodshot. "You! You evil bastards! How dare you attack children!"
Following Ryu's gaze, Noah saw several unconscious children lying on the ground near Valletta, behind the members of Evilus. Several Evilus members, wielding sharp blades, hovered over the children. Although they did not speak, it was as if they were issuing a silent invitation and threat to Noah and Ryu.
This isn't coming for me, it's coming for Ryu...
Noah made that judgment in an instant.
Valletta probably wouldn't think he'd give in because of a few children, but for Ryu, that was a fatal flaw. This includes these magic items and Magic Swords. If they can't hurt Noah, can't they at least hurt Ryu?
If it were just Noah alone, he could just kill the enemy first, since no one could touch him anyway. But with Ryu around, it would be difficult for him to escape.
Forget it, if we can't escape, let's just kill them all first! Tsk, as expected of you, Valletta.
A stark contrast to his previous listless demeanor, Noah cast a look at Valletta that was both murderous and admiring.
Sensing that cold, attentive gaze reappearing, Valletta felt a strange sense of satisfaction, like receiving praise from her father after diligently doing chores, and even a burning sensation in her lower body...
Wrong! What the heck!
"Noah! And you elf over there! You don't want these brats to die a horrible death in front of you, do you? Get down here right now!"
Having already experienced numerous hostage rescue operations, Ryu knew that she could never lay down her weapons in front of the enemy and place her hopes on them.
In such situations, Ryu would usually use extreme speed to defeat the enemy before they could react and successfully rescue the civilians. But she had never faced such an Evilus force of hundreds of people alone. Not to mention that the opposing team also has Arachnia, a genuine level 5 adventurer!
Normally, when facing such an enemy, one would simply retreat immediately. Ultimately, given such a huge disparity between ourselves and the enemy, strategy is utterly useless. However, I could never abandon those children!
What should I do?
Just as Ryu was anxious and sweat was beading on her forehead, her hand was suddenly grasped. To date, Ryu's hands have only been touched by three people, making this kind of touch completely unfamiliar to her.
