People living near upscale hotels screamed and fled from the blinding flames.

They fled into the rain, hoping to find a safe place, but after running a distance in a panic, they suddenly discovered that deafening screams were also coming from other parts of the town.

"It's a monster, a minotaur!"

"Quickly go to the Adventurers' Management Association and ask President Adeline for help!"

"Help!"

Amidst shouts, streaks of fire lit up the edge of Stream Town and quickly formed a long line.

"So fast."

Loria turned her head and glanced at it.

By this time, the president should have already gone to provide support, and she also needs to find a way to break free of her restraints as soon as possible.

Her goal wasn't to kill Vita, but to escape from here; however, Vita was too fast, making her plan difficult to execute.

"You only realize how little you know when you need it."

Seeing that her stamina was still only 58 even after all the buffs, Loria frowned.

Now, all she has left to rely on are the Succubus Shockwave and the Succubus Eye.

She didn't want to use the shockwave burst on Vita because it would consume too much energy, so she could only use the Succubus's Eye.

"Vita's mental attribute is 46 points, which is not high, but it is not low either. If she directly uses the Succubus Eye, the control time will definitely not be long. It can only be used at a critical moment to make a great contribution."

Loria continued to wield her greatsword and engage Vita in combat.

The greatsword has a very large attack range, but it is still far from being completely impenetrable.

Taking advantage of the tiny openings revealed when the greatsword spun, Vita unleashed her full power, the hard spikes moving more nimbly in her hands than snakes.

After several collisions, Loria's red catgirl bodysuit had more than a dozen scratches, especially on her arms, where there were several cuts and blood trickling between her fingers.

"Are you trying to destroy my hands so I can't wield a sword?"

Loria immediately used her Stone Skin to strengthen her defenses. She had no expectation that Vita would hold back, and she had already staked her life on it.

Just then, Vita's voice rang out.

"If you promise to stay here until the monster tide ends, I can help you put out these fires."

"Absolutely impossible!"

Aside from her cold, icy voice, Loria's response was a swift, sweeping strike of her greatsword.

Unfortunately, even while speaking, Vita remained highly vigilant, and her sword struck empty air, the deafening roar drowned out by the continuous shouts outside.

As an assassin, Vita never lets her guard down until her mission is complete.

Like a moth dancing by a fire, she brought Loria endless trouble.

"You're too slow. There's no way you can beat me. Even if you're physically resilient, it won't matter. The flames will quickly devour your strength, and you'll be defeated sooner or later. Besides... even if you do manage to escape from me, you won't be able to do anything with that exhausted body."

Stamina recovery potions can restore stamina, and healing potions can heal injuries.

However, the potions sold in Stream Town are not even mediocre, which is understandable given that this is just a "beginner village".

The big boss attacks the newbie village, and no matter how hard the people in the newbie village struggle, they can't turn the tide.

That's what most people think.

But Loria disagrees.

If she had nothing, that would be one thing, but she has a simulator. If she can't beat someone, she can simulate it, searching for a glimmer of hope in countless simulations.

"If I run away without even trying, what kind of knight am I? Wouldn't it be better to just become a prostitute?"

Loria used her enhanced hand to block Vita's stab, then rammed her head directly into Vita's forehead.

boom!

Blood splattered, and both of them were left dizzy from the impact.

This is where Loria's advantage comes into play. Having mastered the Spiral Sword to perfection, her ability to adapt to dizziness is far superior to Vita's.

"Now!"

The Succubus Eye activated, and Vita, who had been glared at by the Heart Eye, was horrified to find her arm sinking into a "mud pit".

Oops.

Before the spikes could strike Loria's arm, the sweeping greatsword slammed heavily into her waist.

The immense force sent her flying backwards onto the street outside, where her blood was instantly dried by the flames burning in the air.

"It's done."

Loria was overjoyed.

Although everything had gone too smoothly, now was not the time to dwell on such things; she needed to hurry and support the president and Miss Fat Sheep.

Using the sprinting effect of her cat-like steps, Loria appeared ten meters away in the blink of an eye.

Just as she was about to sprint away, she suddenly realized that Vita had somehow blocked her path.

"How...did you get here?"

Loria was completely stunned.

Just a moment ago she saw Vita fall to the ground, clutching her abdomen and vomiting blood.

She instinctively looked back, but Vita was nowhere to be seen behind her, and a sudden gust of wind swept in front of her.

"If you dare to get distracted at a time like this, someone could die."

clang!

Loria immediately drew her sword.

But the two spikes grazed the blade and pierced her arm. It all happened so suddenly that she only had time to groan in pain.

"My physical strength."

Loria was pale.

She discovered that her physical strength was depleting much faster than usual, and if this continued, even someone with excellent endurance like her would collapse to the ground.

Could it be that she misjudged Vita's attributes?

Otherwise, how could Vita have changed so quickly all of a sudden?

She quickly threw another "know-it-all" at Vita.

The attributes returned by the skill were the same as before; the only difference was that a new status had appeared after Vita's name—

The Weaver's Blessing

The effect of the status is unclear, but judging from the terrifying speed that Vita suddenly unleashed, it is an extremely powerful buff.

There's no way you can escape.

If we want to reunite with the chairman, the only way is probably to defeat Vita.

Loria became uncontrollably anxious.

In just a short while, she clearly saw the monster tear a small opening on the east side of Stream Town.

Although she hadn't seen any monsters on the street yet, she could already hear their growls through the pattering rain.

"Don't panic, everyone, don't panic, retreat in an orderly manner."

"President Adeline is prepared. The monster tide will pass soon, so please don't panic!"

The urgent shouts grew louder as they approached, and soon Loria saw a large group of panicked townspeople emerging from the end of the road.

Even with people shouting at the top of their lungs, the crowd remained in complete chaos.

At one point, a little girl was suddenly pushed to the ground. She covered her head in terror, but the people running behind her showed no intention of slowing down.

Seeing that a stampede was about to occur, before Loria could take any action, Vita had already darted out like a shadow.

brush.

Like the wind passing through an alley, it comes quickly and goes quickly.

Loria quickly turned her head and saw the little girl appear under the wall. In front of her, Vita was half-squatting and reaching out to touch her head.

"Little friend, are you alright?"

"Thank you, sister, I'm fine."

Loria had nothing to say.

She tried to escape, but she could feel Vita's attention was focused on her.

Vita stood up again only after the little girl's mother took her away.

Loria said, “You saved one person, but now many more are in danger because of the Secret Leader’s actions. If you let me go, they will have a chance to be saved.”

Vita gently fiddled with the rain-soaked thorns: "I'm a very selfish person. I'm not like you who would think of saving strangers. In my heart, you are much more important than them, and I won't watch you get into danger because of them."

Loria pointed to the little girl who had walked away: "But you saved her!"

Vita said, "I saved her because you wanted to."

Loria said, "Now I want to save the others."

Vita said, "That's different. Stay here tonight. Even if you go out, you're just going to your death. You have a long life ahead of you. If you want revenge, you'll have plenty of time later."

Loria shook her head vigorously, then suddenly asked, "Vita, what do you think people live for?"

This question stumped Vita.

After a long while, she whispered, "Pursue what you want to pursue, and live the life you want to live."

Loria said, "If we lose all these things, it's better to be dead than alive."

Vita didn't speak; she knew what Loria wanted to say.

"What I want is not revenge. What I want is to see everyone living healthy and well. Otherwise, I would have left Stream Town long ago and would not have stayed here at all."

You can't save everyone.

“I know I can’t save everyone. With an attack of this magnitude, innocent people will die today no matter what. But I can’t just do nothing because of that. As long as I get there, more people can be saved. So I will definitely not stay. You have your thoughts, and I have my pursuits. I want to live carefree. I don’t want to live with regret and remorse.”
