The Hero Kicked Me Out of His Party, So I Turned Him into My Maid - Chapter 68

Keep in mind that, in terms of time, we’ve only just entered the illusion phase. Such rapid elimination can only mean one thing: it was a one-hit kill, and it wiped out two teams in one fell swoop.

The other teams were shocked by the speed of elimination and spurred by the news, determined to settle the score at the starting point.

So, after leaving the starting point, Ariel could see a lot of elimination messages, almost one after another.

Before long, nearly half of the teams had been eliminated.

Luna couldn’t help but complain:

“Ariel has really set a good example. In the past, no more than 20% of the teams were eliminated at the starting point, but this time it’s almost more than 50%.”

Ariel stuck out her tongue:

“I didn’t expect that either.”

Mila, on the other hand, was quite excited:

“This makes Ariel look amazing, it’s a good thing!”

Soon, Ariel’s team arrived at a narrow bridge, beneath which lay scorching lava, enough to incinerate everything.

“Waaah!”

Mira covered her mouth, silencing her cries.

“I…I’m a little afraid of heights. I’m even more scared when I see the lava below.”

Ariel stretched out her foot to test it; the narrow bridge was only wide enough for one person to pass sideways, and it was indeed somewhat frightening.

Mila’s legs were trembling slightly, and as they trembled, you could see her muscles shaking, making the scene somewhat eerie.

Luna took action, using earth elementals to create a wider path across the narrow bridge:

“Flying magical devices like witch brooms are prohibited here, so we’ll have to walk.”

Mira, seeing how considerate Luna was, didn’t hold back her praise, continuing to compliment Luna on her thoughtfulness. She was still praising her even after they had walked halfway across the narrow bridge along the dirt road.

Just then, Ariel, who was at the very back of the group, squinted her eyes.

At the end of the narrow bridge, there seemed to be a few people chanting magic?

“careful!”

“Ariel shouted.”

In an instant, an earthen wall descended from the sky, separating Mira from the three behind her.

Immediately afterwards, the dirt road trembled, and the sound of it collapsing could be clearly heard, along with Mila’s terrified voice.

It’s obvious that someone on the other side is plotting against us.

The only team capable of plotting against their own squad like this is probably Lynn and Philin’s squad!

Ariel was a little anxious. Mila’s combat strength was usually reliable, but Mila was afraid of heights.

A melee fighter who can’t move their legs and can’t use magic from a distance is just at the mercy of others.

Mila is in danger.

Ariel glanced at Luna and Lise.

Luna and Lise both nodded to Ariel, encouraging her.

Lise stood in front of Ariel and casually bound the team crystal to her.

Ariel nodded in response. Then, holding “Whispers of the Stars,” she commanded:

“Brienne, give me magic!”

Once the magic was fully charged, Ariel pushed off with her legs, creating spheres that resembled stars above the surrounding lava.

Then Ariel, in front and Brienne, behind, leaped rapidly between the spheres, around the earthen walls, their faces reflected in the lava, the shadows seeming to tear the people opposite them to pieces.

After bypassing the earthen wall, Brienne jumped to Mila’s side, picked her up, and smashed the earthen wall to pieces with a single punch.

Ariel headed straight for the other side of the bridge, letting the magic fly past her ears.

And there were indeed Lynn and Phil’s faces on the other side!

Next to Lynn and Felin were two unfamiliar faces, a man and a woman, probably from the Warrior Academy.

“Then I won’t hold back, I’ll eliminate you all right now!”

Ariel didn’t want to waste any more words. She stood on the narrow bridge and began chanting “All-Area Meteor Shower” for the second time.

I don’t want to waste any more words. These people should just leave as soon as possible to avoid further entanglement.

Lynn and Felin were visibly shocked when they saw the strange phenomenon, and could only protect the entire team inside the protective shield.

However, the bombardment of meteors was too intense, and the protective shield quickly developed cracks and then collapsed.

Ariel’s lips curled up; if nothing unexpected happened, they too would be instantly killed.

But I still felt something was off.

Lynn is capable of using fifth-tier magic, but from the beginning until now, it seems like she’s just been playing a supporting role.

She built the earthen wall, she placed the protective shield. In reality, she could have easily used her fifth-tier magic to fight it head-on…

Could it be that…

Ariel looked at one of the two warriors.

The female warrior took out a pair of swords, but the swords had no blades, only hilts.

Even if those weapons were burned to ashes, Ariel would still recognize them.

That’s Karina’s weapon!

Karina, a graduate who graduated several years ago, somehow managed to sneak into the final exam?!

Then everything makes sense. It turns out that leaving Mila alone was her doing; she wanted to target Mila first.

Karina, then you can leave first!

A cluster of magical blades extended from the female warrior’s sword hilt, forming a protective shield surrounded by countless sword energies, which blocked all the meteors.

Ariel raised “Whispers of the Night” and charged toward Karina, her eyes filled with rage.

Karina! Karina! Karina! I haven’t done anything wrong, why are you treating me like this?!

Whether it’s leaving the team or being expelled, the person I used to be might have swallowed their anger, but the person I’ve awakened to my past life memories will no longer tolerate it.

You must pay the price!

Karina gestured for her teammates to stay still. Her teammates sat on the ground and closed their eyes.

Then, their team’s crystal suddenly lit up, and beams of light connected the three teammates behind them with Karina.

The moment they connected, the magical blade in Karina’s hand swelled up, instantly extending a great distance until it reached Arivil and stabbed her.

Before Ariel could defend herself, an ice shield neutralized the attack.

The ice element froze along the blade, almost freezing Karina’s hand as well.

Left with no other choice, Karina had to abandon half of the sword blade.

Ariel looked back and gave Lise a thumbs up.

Lise and her two companions also came up behind Ariel. Luna constructed a platform so that the two teams could face each other.

Ariel asked:

What form are they in?

Luna replied:

That’s the “Bond General” form.

“Simply put, it means concentrating the power of the entire team into one person, who can use the abilities of everyone in the team, and the power will be adjusted according to the team’s bond value.”

Lise also spoke:

“That person is Karina, we support you.”

Mira also saw the resentment in Ariel’s eyes and nodded, saying:

“I support you too, Ariel. You can use all the power of my body parts to your heart’s content!”

Ariel looked at the three of them without saying a word, but felt a deep warmth in her heart.

Karina, since you’ve come to me in person, let’s settle these scores!
