Reincarnated Maid is About To Be Captured by All Players

Volume 2 Chapter 26



Adventurer Guild.

“Captain, look ahead…”

“I’m not blind.”

The lead adventurer spoke irritably, even managing a wry smile.

This troop wasn’t the entire strength of the guild, but they were still a substantial part of it. The Duke’s increase in rewards led the guild leader to decide to join the Duke’s side in pursuing Amaris. Although they couldn’t increase Anastasia’s favor, which was a bit disappointing, everyone understood the difficulty of acquiring an exclusive NPC.

Hearing that Amaris was near Hearst, they brought guild members to the area, forming one of the search squads.

But what was this? Starfall?

“What’s this… someone grinding mobs? What mobs are here?”

“It’s aimed at us.”

“Are you kidding?”

The team’s priest couldn’t help but chuckle, seriously telling the captain.

“I think I could take that skill to the face.”

Although it was unclear who was using Starfall, it did amuse everyone. Not just the priest, even a farmer pulled off the street would be fine, as long as they were healthy, they’d be hopping around after a shower of Starfall.

But the captain was genuinely puzzled. Who would use Starfall at a time like this? Treating them like mobs to grind? In a PvP ambush, no one uses Starfall as an opener… oh wait, no one uses Starfall at all.

The captain didn’t bother to arrange for the front line to take the damage. From experience, Starfall was really useless against players.

They could literally bathe in Starfall.

An arrow from Starfall hit the captain, showing a hit notification.

【HP-0】

It couldn’t even penetrate armor… the equipment of the adventurer using Starfall couldn’t be that good.

The captain was baffled. Who had the courage to use Starfall as an opener? Fish Leong?

But what followed caught the captain off guard.

His vision went black.

It wasn’t just darkness; he couldn’t see anything.

After a quick check, he was relieved his virtual helmet wasn’t broken. He just lost his vision.

“Huh?”

No, wait, this was—

【Blindness: You’ve lost 100% vision】

The debuff notification popped up, and the captain realized he was blinded.

Blindness was a common negative status in the game, encountered by those who played often. The captain was slow to realize it because he was completely blind.

Blindness in-game usually meant a bit of darkness around the edges, not significantly impactful.

100% vision loss from blindness???

The notification wouldn’t lie, especially since the captain was indeed blind.

Damn! The extent was abnormal, but more than the bizarre level of blindness, who had imbued Starfall with this…

【Weakness: Your movement and attack speed reduced by 40%】

【Chaos: When using directional skills, directions randomize (6 times)】

【Funeral Rites: When using skills, a 100% chance to randomly activate (3 times)】

Suddenly, a barrage of negative statuses appeared. The captain realized Starfall wasn’t just one debuff; he had over thirty debuffs on him at once, probably some seasoned wizard’s doing…

Nonsense! Starfall couldn’t possibly inflict so many debuffs!

Players weren’t fools. If a wizard—although the game didn’t have clear professional divisions, players typically referred to those skilled in applying negative statuses to enemies as such—could combine their abilities with Starfall to such an extent, then Starfall wouldn’t be considered a nearly worthless magic.

Applying buffs to others was easy, but stacking debuffs had strict requirements. Negative statuses couldn’t be directly applied to enemies; they had to be inflicted through attacks or similar means.

A common method was to enchant swords or spears, turning them into weapons like “My dagger is coated with deadly poison…” and then hitting the enemy to apply the status. It didn’t matter if the attack caused damage; hitting was enough to apply it. While powerful, it was difficult to combine with non-physical skills like a mage’s spells. In other words, a wizard couldn’t make a fireball cause blindness.

Enchanting arrows with debuffs was possible, but for a skill like Starfall, with its magical nature, it was impossible to enchant every single arrow in advance.

The issue was, the Starfall they encountered indeed had toxic negative effects, and it seemed… every arrow had them?

The captain wanted to tell himself he wasn’t dreaming, but the thirty-something debuffs on his body were undeniable.

Unless—

Someone had enchanted all the arrows of Starfall before they were shot.

Was that realistic?

Players joked about Starfall’s damage being akin to raindrops, and its form, both in density and quantity, resembled real rain.

Enchanting all the arrows of Starfall…

The captain would rather believe it was a game bug, but being the leader of this squad meant he had some extraordinary abilities. Despite being caught off guard by the impossible, the captain was the quickest to realize what to do.

“Team’s priests! Use 【Purification】! Cast it several times to override Funeral Rites!”

“Oh—”

“Captain! Bad news! The priests were taken out in a second!”

“What?! A rogue!”

Damn! Blindness affects scouting abilities… but with so many people, how did no one notice the rogue? Even with debuffs, the formation should have remained intact.

“The priest… was right in the middle of the team…!”
