Chapter Three Is Here / The Moon Goddess's Compassion (4)
However, although there were many frail women inside the palace...
But these seemingly weak women are not people that ordinary people can afford to offend.
Compared to others, I am the weakest, and naturally I will become the target of these people's attacks.
This feeling is really quite awful.
Swish...
The moment Angelica stopped, a large number of figures surged out from all around, completely surrounding the quiet and frail woman.
Perhaps because there have been so many chaotic things happening in the Imperial City recently, and the streets are already deserted, these people are even more unrestrained.
The gleaming, Holy Church- issue longsword shimmered blindingly in the moonlight.
That sight made Angelica's forehead crease with exasperation. At least try to cover up something as disgusting as this! Covering your face with a black cloth—do you think people won't know who you are?
"Miss Angelica, please come with us."
The leader of the group spoke in a rough voice, "We don't want to use force; it might not be good if we hurt your pretty face."
"But if you don't cooperate obediently, don't blame us for being impolite."
Angelica sighed again, somewhat helplessly. "Who sent you? Cain, Galbraine, or Wright, Alger?"
"Didn't you consider the consequences of doing this?"
A slight commotion arose around them.
The leader laughed hoarsely, "Consequences? There are no consequences."
"Angelica, you're very smart, so why are you being so foolish at a time like this?"
"Don't you understand? As long as you're in our hands, that man will never dare to make a move."
"So you can rest assured that even if you don't cooperate obediently, your life will absolutely not be threatened. However... other aspects are another matter. I don't want to resort to violence. As a final warning, put down the trash in your hand and surrender obediently."
These words instantly made Angelica's eyebrows furrow.
What is this bastard saying, trash?
The food they've carefully prepared for their master—how dare they call it garbage?
Angelica's face darkened, and a flame of Wrath began to flicker in her eyes. To Angelica, this was nothing short of an insult to her master.
Magic Power began to surge within her slender body, spreading outwards in waves.
Seeing that this woman, surrounded by so many of his brothers, not only did not surrender but even wanted to resist, the leader seemed to lose patience. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen figures rushed towards Angelica.
"Holy Light Protection."
A milky-white shield immediately appeared on Angelica's body.
At the same time, he shifted his foot, and the two swords aimed at his back missed their mark.
Angelica is no longer just an ordinary magician. She previously studied magic under Miss Violet and also learned a lot of physical skills from Miss Antia.
Although he doesn't possess Battle Qi, his combat experience is unmatched by ordinary mages.
Having just dodged the attack from behind, she raised her hand, and beams of Holy Light rapidly condensed in front of her, enveloping her body like a rain of swords.
The dozen or so men who rushed forward didn't change their expressions. They wielded their longswords rapidly, and with a series of crackling sounds, Angelica's magic was completely blocked.
While these people were blocking the lightsabers, Angelica opened her right hand, her slender fingers seemingly gripping something tightly.
Above the head of a Knight, a bright warhammer gleaming with Holy Light appeared.
The next instant, with a whoosh, the massive hammer smashed directly onto the head of a Knight.
The poor Knight's helmet was smashed flat, his head was buzzing, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of bright red blood.
Holy Light magic attacks are few in number and usually not very powerful, but Angelica surprised everyone around her.
That Holy Light Hammer just now was so powerful that even a level 74 Knight couldn't withstand it?
Why is Angelica's magic so powerful?
As he watched the dozen or so figures entangled together, the leader's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and a sense of irritation began to rise within him.
Angelica is also level 70-something, but she hasn't reached the level of Grand Sage.
Despite being surrounded by more than a dozen level 70 Knight and priests, they were unable to subdue this woman for a time?
The two remained locked in a stalemate, exchanging blows back and forth for dozens of rounds in a short period of time. Angelica, surprisingly, did not fall behind at all, fighting back and forth with equal skill.
Their frustration grew stronger. The longer the delay went on, the worse it would be for them. If others, especially the other women in the palace who they couldn't afford to offend, noticed what was happening, they would be completely finished.
It's a bit shameful for dozens of grown men to bully one woman, but there's no time to think about that now.
With a wave of his hand, the leader's remaining dozen or so subordinates swarmed forward, surrounding Angelica like an iron barrel, leaving no room for escape. Even the leader himself drew his two-handed greatsword, crimson flames spreading from his hands and completely enveloping the broad blade.
The next second, he leaped into the air, his entire body soaring into the air and slashing down at Angelica with a streak of crimson flame.
The leader's strength was clearly a level above his other subordinates, and Angelica's expression became slightly more serious.
Using the Holy Light Protection him, he withstood the longsword thrusting from the side and dodged it directly to the side.
The movement of the body caused the basket to float upwards due to inertia.
The next instant, with a hissing sound, the crimson sword light pulverized the entire vegetable basket into dust.
Along with the food that Angelica had carefully selected for her master...
Hiss!
Angelica froze on the spot, her delicate body trembling slightly, her pupils widening.
A chilling glint began to seep into a pair of beautiful, jewel-like eyes.
This usually very well-behaved little maid was unusually angry.
This Wrath seems to have become a kind of stimulus.
Click, click, click...
A strange sound, like shattering glass, began to spread within Angelica's body.

Chapter 417 The Moon Goddess's Mercy (4)
Angelica is very well-behaved.
Indeed, since she started following Qin Chu, she has almost never been angry. She is happy every day, with a bright smile on her face. Her smile even has a mysterious infectious power. Anyone who sees Angelica will subconsciously feel good.
But now, Angelica is angry.
The basket was filled with the freshest vegetables and the best beef that Angelica had carefully selected. This was specially prepared by Angelica for her master, hoping that he could eat his favorite food when he returned.
But now, all of that has been destroyed by these people.
The fresh beef inside had been burned to charcoal and was scattered on the ground.
His eyes, filled with Wrath, were fixed on the Knight leader. Did this wretched bastard even know how long and how much effort he had put into selecting these vegetables and meats?
A pair of soft, golden eyes were filled with a chilling light.
But the leader opposite her ignored Angelica's Wrath glare and continued to shout recklessly, "See that, Angelica...?"
"If you don't surrender, the next sword will strike you directly."
The leader was smug and full of confidence.
In his view, Angelica was merely making a death throes.
After all, they had dozens of men of similar strength on their side; taking Angelica down would be a piece of cake.
Despite Angelica's strength being somewhat unexpected, the leader still didn't think his side would lose.
If it weren't for the hesitation and reluctance to kill Angelica outright, this woman wouldn't have lasted this long; she would have been killed long ago.
But if Angelica doesn't surrender, then we might have to be a little harsher. At the very least, we should cripple her legs so she can't escape.
However, the leader was unaware that since the previous incident, Angelica's strength had been increasing day by day, and she could be said to be constantly on the verge of breaking through to the Grand Sage realm, with the possibility of reaching that new level every day.
For Angelica, what she might be missing is just a little bit of stimulation.
And now, the excitement has arrived.
Angelica stood silently in place, trembling.
The leader, thinking Angelica was afraid, became careless and lightly flicked his finger, signaling several of his men to go up and tie Angelica up.
But at that moment, a strange scene suddenly appeared.
Angelica grew brighter and brighter, as if all the moonlight in the entire city had gathered upon Angelica, and in the hazy light, countless wisps of mist seemed to sway and drift.
Click... Click... Click...
An eerie sound, like shattering glass, kept emanating from Angelica.
In stark contrast to the brightness emanating from Angelica, the rest of the Imperial City seemed to have instantly plunged into boundless darkness, so dark that one could not see their own hand in front of their face.
Moonlight was pouring wildly into Angelica's body, transforming into Angelica energy.
The barrier within her body, which had long been on the verge of collapse, finally reached its limit at this moment.
With a crack, the barrier shattered completely.
Immediately afterwards, Angelica's body seemed to transform into a giant vortex, with a large amount of moonlight being Greed devoured by Angelica.
A hazy, alluring silhouette even appeared behind Angelica.
In the dim light, one could almost hear a soft, silvery laugh.
As the host's strength increases and the restrictions are lifted, I can finally come out and get some fresh air.
Buzz...
At the same time, a shockwave spread out, and the Knight who had just walked up to Angelica with chains, intending to bind Angelica, was blasted away by the violent impact.
His hard metal armor shattered instantly, and his chest cavity caved in.
Even the leader's body seemed unable to withstand that force, and he staggered backward.
The black mask on his face was ripped off, revealing a face covered in a thick beard, and eyes filled with fear and shock.
He could clearly feel the pressure emanating from Angelica steadily increasing.
His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by something terrifying, twisted and writhing in agony.
A mournful cry, like that of a wounded wild beast, came from his throat.
The Grand Sage... This... This is a special kind of pressure that only Grand Sage possesses.
This woman, Angelica, actually broke through the Grand Sage's barrier at this moment?
The leader nearly fainted, his vision blurring. Was this the worst possible time? Was it really necessary to do this just because he'd smashed Angelica's vegetable basket?
He had been so confident just moments before, not taking Angelica seriously at all, but in the blink of an eye, all that remained was intense fear.
As Angelica's aura grew stronger every second, the leader wanted to retreat, but for them, once the operation began, there was no chance to retreat.
Putting aside the anger of Lords Cain and Galbraine, once Angelica tells Qin Chu about this, given Qin Chu's personality, he will definitely not let her off the hook.
Now, the only way is to take Angelica down at all costs.
While Angelica is currently in the process of breaking through, forcibly interrupt this process.
"Don't you fucking run..." the leader roared, stopping his men who tried to escape. His face was twisted like a ferocious beast. "Everyone, attack together and take her down, or we'll all die."
After a roar, the leader himself took the lead, and the blazing Battle Qi within his body was pushed to an unprecedented limit.
Despite the immense pressure coming at him, he rushed directly in front of Angelica, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly with both hands. With a sharp hissing sound, he swept the sword horizontally through the air. It looked like if it hit, it might cut Angelica in half at the waist, or at the very least interrupt Angelica's ascension to the Grand Sage.
Only...
Bang... Sizzle!
Just as the heavy sword was about to strike Angelica's body, the silvery moonlight suddenly expanded on her slender figure.
The sharp, heavy blade seemed to be cleaving directly into a huge rock, a lump of hard metal.
A string of sparks exploded instantly, and the sword trembled violently with a buzzing sound.
The leader felt as if his palms had been shattered, and blood was flowing freely.
