"Miss—No, Angelina! I want to be chosen as a tribute!"
Alex speaks up unexpectedly, and Angelina responds in a confused manner.
"What are you talking about?"
She just noticed them, and Alex is speaking strangely for a second.
This explains her current confusion.
"I mean, could you please let me help you fight the monster wave?"
Hearing this, she raised her brow and dashed to his back.
"Wha—"
She chops his neck, and he falls asleep.
'My auto weak point is active so why?'
His confused thoughts before he passed out.
"What are you doing?"
Rica appears calm on the outside, but she has a strong desire to attack her right now.
Anna also has this urge, but she understands why Angelina did it, so she calms herself before the urge takes over.
"You should understand. I want to ensure his safety. I do not want to say he died in the battle in front of Erica. Also, I do not want to argue with someone right now. Anyway, it is very safe in this meeting room, so you might as well relax and be with him. The third wave will arrive after 2 hours, and we are already prepared, so I am going to rest as much as possible."
She sits in the chair and closes her eyes, resting her head on the table for a good nap.
Anna is so helpless that she cannot help her right now.
After all, people in the guild might recognize her despite the identity-blocking magic of the hoodie Alex lent her.
Rica, despite knowing she was correct, wanted to attack her.
'I understand where your actions came from, but attacking my master is not forgivable. I can tell you are stronger than me because your body exudes strength, and one day, when I am stronger than you, I will do the same and make you his slave as well.'
Despite the urge, she restrains herself because she knows it would be pointless right now.
…
The first hour is very quiet because everyone is trying to relax, but it did not last long before a man dashed to the guild building.
"HELP!!!"
Everyone who heard this became alarmed and went to investigate the source of the yell.
A few guards and adventurers noticed a man running as if his life was on the line.
When he got in front of them, the man said, "Help! A monster is approaching me. HELP! KILL IT!"
However, when they looked around, they found nothing.
They thought the man was insane and confused due to the monster wave, but when the leader of the guards arrived, everything changed.
"Where is the monster?
"It is there!"
He pointed to the wall, but everyone was still perplexed by what the man had said.
Fortunately, not for the guard leader.
He sweeps his sword, and then blood appears.
The next moment, a green monster appeared with its head severed from its body.
Everyone is shocked when the monster appears.
"Is that a goblin?
"Yeah, but not just any goblin. This is a hybrid blood monster. In other words, an anomaly."
Anomaly is known as the monster with special blood who can perform special magic.
"Anomaly typically only shows up on monster waves, so I was expecting to see this during combat, but I did not anticipate that it would decide to kill after the wave. Anyway, now that it has been killed, keep an eye out for more of this later; after all, each anomaly monster has its own magic, okay?
"Okay."
People who witnessed this learned from him and even idolized him.
Still, the mere existence of such a monster is terrifying.
Furthermore, the fact that an anomaly possesses magic other than invisibility makes them shiver.
Despite their fear, they use it to their advantage to survive.
After all, fear is the primary reason why everyone wanted to survive.
…
"Huh?"
Alex finally opened his eyes, drooling a little saliva.
He was confused at first because he could not remember what happened and did not know where he was, but when he saw Angelina, he remembered what had happened earlier.
He is inside a tent, and Angelina knocks her out.
He stood up and wanted to complain, but his sleepiness vanished when he noticed her body was covered in wounds and her eyes were closed.
Anna and Beatrice are collaborating to heal Angelina's body wounds while she is unconscious.
The fact that it required two people to heal indicates how severely wounded she is.
A hand landed on his shoulder.
Rica stands behind him, keeping an eye on them.
She did not have any healing magic, so she could not help.
She hates Angelina, but that does not mean she wants her to die.
'She still needs to be his slave, after all.'
Confused by what was going on, he inquired as to what had occurred while he was unconscious.
"Tell me what happened while I was still sleeping."
Rica being questioned reveals what he wanted to know.
"The third wave has finally arrived, and Ms. Angelina fought on the front lines. Unfortunately, something went wrong."
She paused briefly, trying to recall what had happened.
"Until now, I could not remember what happened, but she was able to defeat the monsters. She can move around and talk to the other adventurers in her group, but when she entered the tent, she said she could not take it anymore and collapsed."
"So why are you not calling the other healers? It will be faster if you have help, right?"
"We did not call any healers because she did not want others to be alarmed."
It is Anna who responds at this moment.
"Alex, you may not understand, but Angelina is the May City's pillar. She is the reason our city is referred to as the most peaceful city. She is also responsible for the city's ban on slavery. There are many more reasons, but in short, she is the reason that everyone can live freely in this city."
She holds her hands and continues.
"If they saw her collapse after the battle, the morale of the guards and adventurers might be affected. That is why we should keep it a secret, okay?"
Alex fully understood the reason and said, "Okay."
After a brief discussion, they agreed to sit down while they waited for her to regain consciousness.
