As the masked enforcer's words reached their ears, Gerri's eyes scanned Annara's figure from head to toe in disbelief.
"Annara? Is that really you!?" Gerri questioned full of surprise.
Annara was irritated. It appeared that she truly revealed too much of her powers. Coupled with the fact that she was found here at this place, it might not be that difficult to guess her identity for soone who knew her well enough.
At this thought, she looked at the masked enforcer with curiosity. Who was he, for him to recognize her so quickly?
Unable to escape and having her identity revealed, she ultimately took off her disguise and looked at Gerri, showing him a full display of her true face.
"It really is you!"
Donning a familiar smile on her face, Annara once again tried to talk her way out of the situation.
"You're the captain, aren't you, Gerri? What about letting go for old ti's sake?"
While she was asking for a way out, her tone was more like suggesting a solution than pleading.
And her smile worked quite like a charm. A nostalgic smile that displayed the happiness of reuniting with an old acquaintance ford on Gerri's face. Still, it didn't seem as if he was going to relent anyti soon.
"Unfortunately, I cannot do so. I am an enforcer now, I have a law to uphold!"
"Seriously, Gerri. You know, if it wasn't for my help, all of you wouldn't have been able to escape that elven planet."
This ti, Gerri had a slightly confused expression and his smile faded as he said, "Is that what happened? What I rembered was that you used us to escape from your own trouble, and once we were no longer useful, you abandoned us."
"That's not what happened!" Annara quickly retorted.
However, she was given no ti to explain. At this mont, the masked enforcer behind her pulled out a dagger and aid it at her neck.
"Many have suffered because of you. I… you will pay for you cri!!"
The masked enforcer imdiately used a buff skill, one that increased his battle power extensively, before he swiftly dashed at her with a dagger in each hand.
Annara did not consider a re new moon magus as a threat, so she simply parried the dagger blades and observed the man.
"Who are you?! You sure talk big for such a weakling!"
She was about to attempt to tear off his mask when the man unexpectedly scread with rage and received another boost in power. This ti, he was able to push her back after putting more strength into the daggers.
Annara was surprised for a mont, and with it ca a faint smile on her face.
"Now that's more like it…"
But before she could finish her words, an identical masked man, a clone figure swiftly swung his daggers from behind her.
Annara's pupils constricted as she hurriedly threw a back kick to deflect the man's attack. The mont she swiftly moved away from her initial position, yet another identical masked man stabbed his dagger at where her leg previously swung.
It was here that she realized there were not just three, but four identical masked n, all gripping daggers and glaring at her with rage.
Annara smiled. No wonder he figured out her identity so easily.
She took a deep breath and cast the powerful Tier 5 [Hellfire Breath] at her surroundings, pushing all the enforcers encircling her. At the sa ti, she took out her main weapon, a dark whip.
With a sharp swing, Annara forced the masked enforcers back even further and simultaneously cracked his mask, revealing the familiar face of the person she and Ery were looking for.
"Chumo, it really is you!" Annara shouted with a bright smile.
However, she soon realized why the young man wore a mask. The right side of his face was wrinkled like a withering old man with bloodshot red eyes.
This was a face Annara was deeply familiar with, one she would find at any Nightwalker, the creature made by her previous master experint.
Apart from that, the sight of the previously calm and quiet young man with rage, which puzzled her.
"Why are you so angry at ? You should be thanking for what I did to…" she subconsciously spoke and abruptly stopped. She didn't know if she should talk about Ery here.
On the other side, Chumo had no intention of talking as he aggressively attacked her once again.
Despite only being a new moon magus, Chumo had his unique ability and monstrous strength. His clones weren't just shadows, they were as real and almost as strong as the real person. Furthermore, they could even utilize the [Eye of Raven], which seemingly allowed them to predict Annara's moves.
When Annara found an opening to counter, Gerri jumped in with his flaming fist at her. What was previously a one-on-one battle quickly turned into a two-on-one, with the other magus enforcers guarding the periter to make sure that Annara could not escape.
The two's strengths didn't exactly overwhelm her, but it was certainly capable of suppressing her. Whenever Chumo showed an opening where she could strike back, fire spells would shoot at her and force her to change her movent trajectory.
This synergy of theirs would even force her to reveal an opening at tis, which made it annoyingly difficult for her.
"Arghh! Seriously, why are you two being like this!?"
The battle lasted more than an hour. More than once, Annara secretly hoped that Ery would co and rescue her. With just a show of his face, he would definitely be able to pull her out of this predicant.
But even as her energy was getting exhausted, not a trace of him showed up. In the split second she lost focus, Chumo swiftly restrained her with his silver needle, piercing her important ridian points. forcing her down to her knees.
Gerri was out of breath as he chained the Bat half-blood.
"Annara Vermont you are under arrest for your cri, i will take you to golden city to wait for your trial"
After he ordered his n to check for the second intruder, Gerri turned his attention back to the woman on the ground.
"Let's not waste both of our ti; who did you co here with?"
In response, Annara only looked at him with a secretive smile.
Now that she was captured, there was no point in revealing Ery's identity. She could only hope for Ery to save her as soon as possible.
'He owes so much… he better co save !'
