Faced with a large group of civilians who surrounded them like zombies, with her previous experience, Sophia knew that these people were not real zombies, they were all still alive, but they were just manipulated, so she could not kill them, but she could only retreat step by step, but her retreat could only be exchanged for the "enemy" step by step.

Unlike the slow-moving buggers I had seen in the Snowy Federation, these manipulated civilians moved extremely quickly, completely recklessly, and didn't even seem to feel pain, and still didn't care about the bleeding from the head and the cracked muscles.

Although she is in a predicament, Sophia will not rest on her laurels. She nimbly dodged as she unleashed several purifying spells. However, with Sophia's now peak light magic skills, her purification magic could at best stop the "zombies" from moving, and after a few seconds, they were jumping around again, drooling, eyes red, and roaring at Sophia.

In fact, with Sophia's current skills, if she doesn't want to hurt these "zombies", it will be easy to escape, but Sophia will not give up these civilians who can still be saved. They were not only young men, but also a large number of old and weak women and children, and Sophia could not stand idly by and run away. The enemy saw through Sophia's weakness and trapped her in this way.

Just when Sophia was at a loss, she suddenly heard a "pop", and a small stone flew from a distance, hitting the back of the neck of an uncle who was rushing from Sophia's left hand. The uncle threw himself forward and fell to the ground, did not stand up again, his body convulsed a few times, and he completely fainted. Sophia was amazed, she took the time to glance at the uncle on the ground when she was moving and dodging in the "zombie" group, although it was only a glimpse of the white horse, but it was enough for Sophia to see the clue.

I saw that the part of the uncle's neck that was hit by the stone had a small puddle of green viscous liquid, and a small number of small arthropod limbs that could still be recognized. Seeing this, Sophia looked at the back of the neck of the other "zombies", only to find that all the controlled civilians had a small spider attached to the back of their necks. Because these spiders are so small, about the size of a peanut, and the color of their backs is very similar to the color of human skin, it is difficult to spot them if you don't pay close attention.

Could it be that these manipulated civilians cannot be purified because of the fate of these spiders?

Now that the root of the problem has been discovered, the matter is easily solved. "Ahh

The effect was obvious, and even the purification magic did not need to be cast, and after the little spider fell, the civilians who were specially "cared for" by Sophia fell to the ground like deflated cloth bags, did not stand up again, and passed out.

"Owen, what the hell are you thinking......" Sophia could of course see that the secret helper was Owen's method. But Sophia really couldn't understand why Owen chose to part ways with her, but still secretly lends a hand. Could it be that Owen is hiding from someone?

But there wasn't much time for Sophia to think, and in a burst of "woo-woo-woo" whining, hundreds of "zombie" civilians surrounded her again......

on the clock tower.

It took Alice a lot of time to get rid of all the masked killers. Through the heavy wrist armor, Alice could still feel the sharp pain coming from her wrist, but Alice didn't dare to remove the True Martial Armor to clean up the wounds, because she didn't know how many enemies were still hiding in the shadows.

After a few months of recuperation, Alice's combat power has long since returned to its peak state before she was imprisoned, and the reason why she is still so embarrassed is because the enemy's strength is beyond her expectations. This was Alice's first face-to-face battle with the Truth Society, and if even the grassroots members of the Truth Society had such a strong fighting force, and how much of a threat these people had posed to her, now that she thought about it, Alice couldn't help but feel a chill go straight down her spine.

After a few minutes of waiting to make sure that no new enemies had appeared, Alice breathed a sigh of relief before she had time to pay attention to the situation outside. Alice looked in the direction of the ghetto and saw that the flames had not abated in the slightest, and strangely enough, the flames had not widened, and what was even more bizarre was that the king's parade under the clock tower was still going on as normal, unaffected by the fire.

Alice sensed that something was wrong, and she pulled out a small mirror and stretched it out to reflect the sunlight one by one. Alice didn't know where Sophia and Joyka were at this time, and the only person she could contact was Cassius, who was following the king's parade all the way.

......

However, Cassius did not have time to notice Alice's signal from the commanding heights, because the person he valued was missing.

"Ishnova! Ishnova! Where are you?!"

A distraught Cassius scurried around like a headless fly in the alleys, calling out the name of the girl he cared about the most.

Cassius couldn't believe that he was just bumped, and when he turned to look back, the paralyzed girl next to him, who had been under his protection, had disappeared under his nose, and he didn't even shout.

At this time, in a tavern that was in turmoil.

Joyka decisively used the gem given to him by Regunor, and through the Mithril alloy longsword, he converted the qi element accumulated in the gem into strong wind energy and released it, instantly eliminating all the spiders besieging him.

However, the strong wind did not hurt half of Christina's hair behind the bar. An invisible barrier was created in front of her, blocking all attacks, visible and invisible.

"Don't you have a trick, little girl!"

Joika, who had blown away the spider swarm, did not stop to rest, he pulled out the long sword stuck in the ground, and rushed towards Christina, and with a "bang", the long sword slammed into the invisible barrier in front of Christina. With Joyka's current strength, the magic barrier could no longer withstand his simple and savage impact, and a crack appeared in the magic barrier.

Before the rift could repair itself, Joyka slashed another sword. The heavy sword strikes opened a gap in the magical barrier to accommodate a single person in and out.

"Die!" Joyka shouted angrily as she rushed into the gap, raising her sword and slashing at the beautiful girl who was protected behind the magical barrier.

However......

"There is no easy road to true love......

The poem "A Midsummer Night's Dream" written by the great writer of ancient times suddenly sounded in Joyka's mind. Joika shivered as if she had been unsuspected, staggered two steps forward, and fell to the ground with a "porphyr".

"It's a pity. Christina looked down condescendingly at Joyka, who was lying at her feet, and smiled sarcastically.
