Black Robe Woman

Watching the purple-haired witch gracefully move from her spot, Uriel’s sword missed, leaving a deep gash in the ground.

Even though the Holy Stone on his person was suppressing the witch’s powers, and theoretically, their strength should have been on par.

Yet, facing the purple-haired witch, Uriel still didn’t feel like her strength matched his.

The magic essence radiating from the purple-haired witch was as profound as a vast ocean; it even felt like the surrounding magic essence was being drawn in, unconsciously gravitating towards her.

Uriel had to expend more magic essence than usual within his body just to mobilize the free-floating magic essence in the air.

This situation was very unfavorable for Uriel; so far, the purple-haired witch hadn’t shown any signs of activating her witch abilities.

Relying solely on a gun and a simple spell, she was already putting immense pressure on him.

Of course, Uriel couldn’t rule out the possibility that the ornate long gun in her hand was a manifestation of her witch abilities.

But if that were the case, the Holy Stone should have affected it when he got close earlier.

The chilling muzzle aimed at Uriel once again; this time, he couldn’t place his hopes on her missing the shot.

Driven to the brink, Uriel steeled his resolve and swallowed the Holy Stone he had on him.

As soon as the Holy Stone went down, Uriel’s face turned pale, and in a moment, his facial features twisted together.

After using Gale to move, Su Ran raised his gun again, aiming at the enemy; with the aid of the aiming reticle, he wouldn’t miss this time.

However, the enemy’s actions were beyond his expectations; after swallowing something, the other party’s aura was rising steadily.

At this moment, the Witch Game considerately provided Su Ran with the other party’s stats panel.

[Uriel, Sequence Five Adjudicator Knight (Magic essence in his body near 4,100 points after Holy Stone blessing)]

Since using bullets consumed mana, then that meant mana was his magic essence content, right?

Su Ran glanced at his own mana bar; the value displayed was 10,000, immediately putting him at ease as he observed what the other party would do next.

Feeling the magic essence drawn in by the Holy Stone surging through his body.

Uriel said hoarsely with a voice ravaged by magic essence, “Now, the magic essence in my body can rival a high-level Sequence Five, or even a Sequence Six; this time, I will definitely slay the witch!”

The long sword in his hand flashed with a dazzling golden light as magic essence was injected into it, and cracks gradually appeared on the blade; blood splattered from various parts of Uriel’s body.

After swallowing the Holy Stone, Uriel’s body was gradually approaching the brink of collapse; he only had one last chance to strike.

“Holy Radiance Strike!”

The brilliant golden light was dazzling, making it impossible for Isa, who was on the side, to see the situation on the battlefield.

As only a Sequence One, she could only hide on the side and worry about Her Lady Witch in this battle; fortunately, Su Ran had renewed a layer of Witch’s Protection on her.

Otherwise, the aftershock of the strike alone would have been enough to obliterate Isa.

The light dissipated, and the purple glow belonging to Her Lady Witch stood unwavering in place, while the originally aggressive knight had fallen to the ground, motionless.

When Isa wanted to run over to find Her Lady Witch, she stopped in her tracks in astonishment before she could take two steps.

Because the only light in her heart, Her Lady Witch, who had given her help, was pointing the exquisite long gun in her hand at her brow.

Faced with the enemy’s imposing strike, Su Ran’s response was simply to pull the trigger.

This time, the system deducted not the previous ten points of mana, but a thousand points, a full tenth of Su Ran’s total mana!

What burst out of the gun was not an ordinary magic essence bullet, but a beam of laser formed from magic essence; yet, even the laser was still as unremarkable as the bullets fired before.

The laser barely touched the overburdened blade, and in an instant, the long sword shattered into several pieces, which were then broken down into dust.

It was so fast that Uriel didn’t even have time to change direction; a tiny hole appeared in the position of his heart.

The Adjudicator Knight, who had just advanced to Sequence Five, died in Noda Forest just like that.

[Task Completed]

The system prompt appeared, and the Witch’s Restoration Potion and a ten-pull ticket reward were quietly lying in Su Ran’s inventory.

Although Su Ran really wanted to take out the potion from the inventory and drink it right away, he had something he needed to deal with now.

It should be noted that the Witch Game had a map in the upper right corner; when Su Ran appeared in the air.

The map marked three light spots, one was the enemy, one was Isa, which meant there was still someone hiding near this battlefield.

And now this light spot was appearing behind Isa.

Holding the long gun and aiming at the location where the light spot was hiding, Su Ran maintained his vigilance and said loudly, “Are you going to show yourself? Or do I need to invite you out?”

“Her Excellency the Witch’s mental perception is truly sharp.”

Hearing the voice, Isa was in a daze, then watched as a hooded woman slowly walked out of the shadows behind her.

Judging from the empty sides of her cloak, the other party’s figure was of the taller type.

Seeing that Su Ran didn’t answer, the tall woman pulled back her cloak, revealing fair and soft jade feet, adorned with several silver chains inlaid with gems.

“Would Her Excellency the Witch be willing to come with me?”

The tall woman’s seductive voice reappeared; although it wasn’t directed at Isa, her expression also became dazed.

[??? (The other party possesses a replica tainted with the aura of a Soul Tool, blocking detection)]

[Lust Anklet (Replica): Able to manipulate the other party at will; success is not guaranteed if the strength difference is too great (usually only usable on those with a Sequence lower than the holder)]

The panel malfunctioned on the other party, and the Soul Tool mentioned by the system made Su Ran want to learn more.

But now, Su Ran pulled the trigger, aiming at the black-robed woman; a slender beam of light appeared from the muzzle, hitting the black-robed woman head-on.

Causing the black-robed woman’s figure to distort for a moment before disappearing in place; soon, another black-robed woman walked out of the shadows, reappearing in the same spot.

“Her Excellency the Witch is so heartless; luckily, I prepared a clone in advance, or I would have really been killed by you.”

The black-robed woman patted her chest, putting on a look of lingering fear, and turned her head to Isa.

“Since Her Excellency the Witch is unwilling to come with me, how about the little witch comes with big sister?”

Isa’s pupils were empty, and she nodded blankly in agreement, “Okay!”

“Isa!”

Watching Isa being controlled by the black-robed woman, Su Ran anxiously called out.

“Your Highness!”

Like a drop of water falling into a still lake, Isa instantly woke up when she heard Her Lady Witch calling her name, and immediately ran to Su Ran’s side, taking advantage of the black-robed woman’s momentary daze.

Seeing Isa wake up, Su Ran increased his mana output to provide cover for her escape, firing several shots at the black-robed woman.

Faced with bullets containing magic essence that was enough to make her tremble with fear, the black-robed woman, having lost her clone, dared not face them head-on this time, and turned to hide in the shadows of the trees, leaving the battlefield.
