"It's a trap!" Glover shouted. He wanted to turn and run but found that there was another man on his way to intercept his retreat.

"I can't see! I can't see…!" Naomi yelled in a panic. The three shields above her were still intact. The silvery sand only blinded her. It didn't cause her any damage.

The woman, who had blinded Naomi, equipped a karambit she had stashed behind her back. She was now about to slash Naomi's throat.

A flash of light and a loud clang was heard.

"Aahhh…!!" The woman cried in pain. Her hand which was holding the karambit was smashed aside.

Jack had made a fast two-slashing motion. First hitting the karambit before moving forward and slamming the woman's wrist using his wrench.

"Naomi, stay still!" Jack commanded. He pulled Naomi to his back. It would be difficult to protect her if she started running around carelessly.

The two men from earlier had returned.

"Argghh…! He broke my arm…!" The woman cried to the two.

Jack's strength was no joke. In the outside world, everyone was protected with a game body. The condition here seemed to more closely resemble their past real world. There was a possibility of and bat before they arrived. With his Sword's Heart, Jack was able to treat almost everything in his hand as if a sword. Too bad his injury.

"You a*shole!" One of the men scolded. He was wielding a nunchaku. His friend swung his wooden bat.

Jack's wrench slashed with deadly precision, striking the nunchaku and bat before they arrived. With his Sword's Heart, Jack was able to treat almost everything in his hand as if a sword. Too bad his mana manipulation was sealed. Otherwise, his slashes would have been much more devastating.

Even so, the two men's attacks were repelled. Their hands trembled from the collisions. Their strength was not comparable to Jack's.

The other four enemies who were hiding outside the park arrived. Two went to assist the man who was blocking Glover's retreat while the remaining two came at Jack.

"Careful! This one is no ordinary guy," the enemy with the bat warned his newly arrived friends.

"Hah! Doesn't matter, he is just one person," One of the newly arrived people said. He was wielding a bola. He threw the bola at Jack while his other three friends took position on Jack's other three sides.

"Shit!" Jack cursed while deflecting the incoming bola using his wrench. He couldn't move freely as he needed to protect Naomi. But without his mana sense, he had trouble protecting her from enemies who came from his blind spots. Even with his sword art, it won't be effective if he couldn't see where the attacks were coming from.

Luckily, their friends didn't just stay idle seeing their ordeal.

"Get away from them, you scum!" Stefan yelled as he came brandishing his wooden bat. He had followed Jack's instruction and ran to the side before flanking the enemy. The enemy holding the bola was startled to find someone coming at him from behind.

On the opposite side, Winson came swinging his nunchaku against one of the people who had surrounded Jack. Kramer followed behind him.

Dina and Kerry went to help Glover.

"You dare to trick us?!" The enemy holding the nunchaku said.

"You are one to talk!" Jack talked back as he used One-word Thrust.

The thrust was too fast and sudden for the man. It smashed right onto his face. He flew back with a painful yelp as one of the shields above him was shattered.

That attack caused the others to lose their nerves. The woman with the karambit had placed the weapon on her other arm. She was just about to join the fight when the man with the nunchaku fell next to her. She stopped then.

"Auugghh…," The man yelped on the ground. He was lucky that he was still somewhat protected by the game rules. Otherwise, his skull would have shattered from Jack's thrust.

Jack then moved in a circle around Naomi, slashing at the other enemies who tried to get close.

With them now catching the enemies in a bad position, it was the enemies who were in trouble. The battle continued as more enemies lost their shields. But they were not without casualty. Some from their side also lost shields. Glover, who had been ganged up on earlier, lost two shields. Luckily, he stayed alive until Kerry and Dina arrived.

The enemy with the bola was fending Stefan off by making a wide swing. Stefan was unable to approach since his weapon had a shorter range. This enemy was the leader. He still had all three shields on him.

This enemy leader was dejected. He thought they had found easy prey. He never expected this prey to hide such a force. He was just about to issue a command to retreat when he felt a sharp impact on his head.

He doubled down as one shield above him broke.

"What…?" He was dizzy but he could still turn to where the attack had come from. A distance away, he saw an ethereal woman wielding a slingshot. This woman was currently firing another bullet.

This second bullet wasn't aimed at him, though. It struck Stefan who was still confused as to why his opponent suddenly fell by himself. Stefan also lost one shield.

On the other side, new enemies appeared. These enemies caught everyone by surprise.

'It's another group!' Jack thought. When the first enemy team laid a trap for them, there was another team that was stalking them. This third team only took action now that both teams were in chaos.

"I… I can see now," Naomi said.

"Good!" Jack exclaimed. Luckily, the blindness effect from the silvery sand was not permanent. Now, Naomi could defend herself, which meant he could move freely.

Just when he was about to go on the offensive, he saw a fast movement.

Someone came in barreling while the others didn't notice. This new person was holding a karambit. With precise strikes, he hit Winson and Kramer before hitting the two enemies they were fighting with. All lost one shield. One of the enemies Winson and Kramer were fighting against only had one shield left, so he died.
