Alice, who had been working all day, couldn't resist the fatigue and fell asleep on her desk. But she didn't know that a ghostly dark figure was silently lurking into the girl's boudoir, came to her back, and raised a dagger.

Even if she slept deeply, her intuition as a warrior still made Alice aware of the coming crisis for the first time. Feeling the undisguised murderous aura, Alice immediately opened her eyes, tilted her head to the side, and heard only a "bang", and the sharp dagger pierced into the thick document she had been resting on her head, and pierced the entire wooden tabletop.

Alice, who had instinctively escaped the deadly assassination, fell asleep and threw her right hand back as the assailant's dagger stuck in the table and could not be pulled out.

"Smack" - she slapped the attacker with one palm.

Immediately afterwards, Alice slapped the table with her other hand, and her whole body turned over and jumped up, and she kicked twice in the air, but both were deftly dodged by the attacker. It wasn't until Alice rolled over and landed that she was able to see the attacker head-on.

I saw that the other party was a tall and thin man, dressed in black, although his face was covered, his body shape gave Alice a familiar feeling.

"It's him, wouldn't it?" Alice couldn't accept that speculation in her heart, and quickly shook her head.

But the man did not retreat because Alice hesitated, he threw a sharp long sword from his waist, and stabbed Alice several times in succession.

The familiar sword made Alice stunned, but she didn't have any time to think, because the opponent's sword speed was too fast, completely blocking all Alice's dodging and maneuvering paths, and in just 2 or 3 seconds, Alice's left arm, shoulder, calf and other parts had been painted many times, and blood stained her pajamas.

The opponent is a master of swordsmanship, and it is undoubtedly a dead end to fight him with her bare hands, and Alice understands her predicament, and she will not hesitate to break her head and brain, and she will desperately crash into the wooden wall of the room.

"Pop ......" - A large hole was knocked out of the wooden wall of the stilt house by a girl who had escaped in a panic, and between the scattered wooden mules, Alice endured the pain and chanted a spell to summon the True Martial Armor.

The black-clad assailant chased after him from the hole, descending from the sky and stabbing Alice in the chest with a sharp sword.

Just as the tip of the sword was about to pierce Alice's heart, a magical ball of light exploded from her body, and the man in black was pushed back by the sudden magic light wave, and Alice, who was able to pull away from the distance, successfully summoned the True Martial Saint Armor and put it on herself, and the situation temporarily tended to be evenly matched.

Alice was glad that she was working on papers and asleep in Sophia's room, and if the battlefield had been in her own room in the cave fortress, Alice would not have been able to escape the attack.

After stabilizing his body, the man in black rubbed his feet hard against the base of the stilt house, spun around with his sword, and stabbed Alice. At this time, Alice, who had already put on the True Martial Armor, no longer threw a rat bogey, she crossed her arms, protected her head with an impenetrable armor bracer, and rushed forward to meet the attack.

The two exchanged swords and exchanged fists, and after more than a dozen rounds of fierce fighting, the sword of the man in black could not cut through her armor, and Alice's fists and kicks could not hit the nimble man in black. Although she was not at a disadvantage, the increasingly familiar swordsmanship of the man in black made Alice feel more and more frightened.

What's even more troublesome is that the speed of the man in black is getting faster and faster, and the dark phantom is shuttling back and forth around Alice quickly, and the speed of the action has exceeded the speed of Alice's counterattack, gradually turning this fierce battle of attack and defense into a war of attrition with one attack and one defense.

Although it is not a good solution to blindly defend and wait for reinforcements to arrive, Alice feels a little hairy in her heart, and she always feels that the longer it drags on, the more dangerous her situation becomes.

Sure enough, Alice's fears came true.

As she focused on defending herself against the onslaught of the men in black, she didn't realize that she hadn't left her spot for more than 10 seconds, which was enough time for a medium-sized powerful spell to form and lock onto the target.

"Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", "Boom", ......

The magic array that suddenly appeared in the sky rained down a continuous stream of magic thunder, and hit Alice directly below.

"There's another enemy?!" Alice was shocked and angry, she finally knew what she was worried about.

But now Alice has no choice but to raise her hands and use the True Martial Saint Armor to carry the thunder and lightning attack. Fortunately, the man in black who wielded the sword didn't seem to have any magical resistance, so he didn't rush up and force a surprise attack when she was resisting the thunder and lightning with all her might, probably because she was worried about being accidentally injured by the lightning.

The continuous lightning bolts lasted for more than a dozen times and finally stopped, and the energy in the True Martial Saint Armor was not exhausted, but Alice was far from being out of danger!

As soon as the thunderbolt ended, the man in black with the sword had already rushed forward, and the magic and the sword were seamlessly connected, not giving Alice a chance to breathe. Alice raised her hand to resist, only to hear a "dang" sound, Alice's wrists were shattered, and at the same time, the long sword in the hand of the man in black was broken.

The sudden thunder and lightning magic attack was not to knock down Alice with one blow, but to consume the magic power contained in the True Martial Saint Armor, when the energy of the armor was consumed a lot, the strength of the armor also decreased, so it was normal to be cut open by an iron sword.

The Blackman's weapon was gone, but Alice still had the means to attack, and she leapt forward and punched the Blackman's head. The man in black slid back a step, and Alice's fist missed, but she instantly turned her fist into a grab, tearing off the entire piece of the blackman's masking cloth.

"Sure enough, it's you! Why?" Although she had been mentally prepared, Alice still felt incredible when she saw the appearance of the man in black with her own eyes, she was shocked and angry, and asked repeatedly.

"It's useless to tell you, dead people don't need to know much. ”

Behind Alice, a familiar female voice came. Alice turned around, only to see a young woman's dark shadow slowly emerging in the darkness, judging from the long wand-like thing in the woman's hand, she should be the caster who had just used thunder and lightning to sneak up on Alice.

"It's you! Even if she didn't see the woman's face, from her voice and shape, Alice already knew that she was one of her acquaintances.

At this time, thinking back to all the strange things before, the truth of the matter was patched together like pieces of a puzzle in Alice's mind, and it became clearer and clearer. Although it is not the whole truth, Alice knows a lot of things in this moment.

While Alice and the mysterious woman were facing each other, the man in black quickly approached Alice with silent steps, and by the time Alice noticed, he was already less than a meter away from Alice. Alice hurriedly swung her fist to resist the enemy, but she didn't expect the enemy to be faster, and a dagger pierced through the seam of the armor at her waist and pierced into her soft flesh.

"Ahh

Alice screamed, clutching her bleeding wound and taking a few steps backwards, not knowing whether she was careless or overjoyed by the true identity of her attacker, forgetting that in addition to the broken sword, there was also an invincible dagger among the enemy's weapons.

But such attacks did not end there. Just as Alice's blood dripped on the ground, a magic circle that had been pre-planted in the ground was triggered.

An electric current is transmitted through the blood and is carried into Alice's body. Although the True Martial Armor can defend the wearer against magical attacks, if the wearer itself becomes a conductor of magic, then the True Martial Armor will not be effective.

This time, Alice, who didn't even have time to scream and was paralyzed, finally fell in this well-planned sneak attack......
