Room Fight

Su Ran, now a Sequence One, emerged from a full night of meditation. The feeling of fullness in her magic essence circuit was unprecedentedly comfortable, yet her body felt soft and weak.

‘As expected, walking for so long right after my legs have just healed… it seems I still need to adapt gradually.’

When she went out yesterday, Su Ran, thinking of how long it had been since she could walk freely, had not taken her wheelchair and chose to rely on her own two feet.

Throughout the day, she went to the coffee shop, the police station, and the Blood Hunter headquarters.

She had walked more in one day than in the past two years combined.

As a result, the next day, she felt a distinct soreness and weakness. Even after becoming a superhuman, this feeling still lingered.

‘Next time, I’ll use the wheelchair and adapt slowly.’

Looking at the somewhat worn-out wheelchair, Su Ran’s expression darkened.

She remembered the girl who had lent her the money to buy it. Now that she was better, there was no way to share this good news with her.

However, she did not dwell on the pain for too long, because she still had her little witches to protect and many things to accomplish.

The sound of footsteps appeared at Su Ran’s door. It was not a familiar footstep.

In the two years she had lived in this building, Su Ran was very familiar with the footsteps of her neighbors. She could even identify who it was just by listening to the sound.

Of course, the most important point was that the owner of these footsteps was trying to conceal them.

If Su Ran were still an ordinary person with no magic essence, then with her hearing…

Only after entering Sequence One could she hear these subtle sounds.

This meant that the person at the door had come here with a special purpose; he did not want ordinary people to discover his tracks.

The sound grew closer, and it could be said that he had stopped right at Su Ran’s door.

Her heart was in her throat.

With a click, the sound of a lock being picked came from outside the door. Su Ran was certain that besides Eve, she had never given her key to anyone else.

‘So how is the person outside opening the door?’

To avoid alerting the intruder, upon hearing the sound of the door opening, Su Ran quickly lay down on the bed and pretended to be asleep.

In secret, she had already filled the room with her spirit, preparing to monitor what the other party intended to do.

As the footsteps grew closer, Su Ran could only see a mass of black through her spirit, as if all spiritual probes were being blocked.

She quietly opened her eyes a crack and saw a person wearing a white mask standing at the entrance of her room.

“This is a woman? But the file clearly states it’s a man. If that’s the case, I’ll have to find someone else.”

A hoarse voice came from the masked person’s mouth. She could understand every word, but put together, Su Ran couldn’t comprehend what the masked person was saying at all.

From the words spoken by the masked person, the only thing Su Ran could think of was that the other party was looking for her male self.

Just as she thought the other party was giving up, the glint of a blade flashed before her eyes. As he swung the blade, the masked person was still muttering, “Even if it’s a woman, she can’t be left alive. Just right to cause some confusion.”

The masked person had no intention of leaving a living witness. In his eyes, wherever he appeared, no living person could be left behind.

However, the masked person never imagined that the girl who appeared to be sound asleep…

Faced with the oncoming blade… had not yet entered the sequence…

The masked person who came at her was not strong, only a Sequence One.

What’s more, she had her witch ability.

The moisture in the air was instantly condensed by Su Ran. A smooth ice wall appeared in front of her, completely blocking the blade coming at her. No matter how hard the masked person pushed, he could not advance a single inch.

The magic essence circuit in Su Ran’s body operated, providing her with a continuous supply of magic essence.

With the support of magic essence, Su Ran rapidly closed in on the masked person’s side, and an ice crystal longsword instantly appeared in her hand and thrust out.

Her witch ability was more versatile for Su Ran to use than simply converting magic essence.

Faced with the sudden attack and the magic essence fluctuation emanating from the girl, the masked man was horrified. “Sequence One! Who the hell are you? Where’s Su Ran?”

Her former name was spoken by the other party. At this moment, Su Ran could finally confirm that the other party was here for her.

Since that was the case, there was certainly no reason to let him go.

‘Teacher Bai once said that as long as a magic essence reaction appears in the city, the police will arrive quickly.’

‘Then, before the police arrive, Su Ran’s mission is, of course, to hold him here.’

Because only a living person could provide more clues.

At this moment, Su Ran was unprecedentedly calm. Perhaps it was because of her cryokinesis witch ability, which kept her mind clearer than ever before.

She had a firm grasp on the battle situation. The Sequence One masked person could find no way to escape.

The small room also became Su Ran’s home field advantage, tying the masked person’s hands and feet so he couldn’t fight freely.

Using her familiarity with the room, under Su Ran’s fierce offensive, several cuts appeared on the other party’s black robe.

Strangely, not a drop of blood appeared from his wounds.

Gradually, Su Ran could hear the sound of police sirens from downstairs. It seemed that after detecting the magic essence fluctuation, the security officers of the district had quickly arrived at Su Ran’s location.

The ice crystal longsword in Su Ran’s hand did not dissipate. Instead, she condensed her magic essence into a ball and shot it out the window.

With a crash, the glass of her room’s window shattered, but the magic essence reaction and the broken glass also pointed the way for the security officers.

Realizing he could not delay any longer, a strong magic essence fluctuation emanated from the masked person’s body.

His aura was rising, stopping only at the peak of Sequence Two.

Although Su Ran could still rely on the intermittently appearing ice crystals to block the masked person’s attacks, it became exceptionally difficult to be as at ease as before. She couldn’t finish him off in a short time either.

After several rounds of his attacks were narrowly dodged by Su Ran, he no longer planned to stay.

After Su Ran had pointed out the location, the security officers downstairs were rapidly approaching. If he delayed any longer, it would become a question of whether he could escape at all.

So, he rushed fiercely towards Su Ran, hoping she would subconsciously dodge, allowing him to take the opportunity to escape through the broken window.

However, he had underestimated Su Ran’s combat experience.

Seeing the masked person rushing straight at her, Su Ran instantly knew his little scheme.

She feigned a dodge, and in the instant the masked person brushed past her, an ice crystal longsword appeared in her hand and lightly swiped.

A severed hand was left behind in her room, while the masked person fled through the window without looking back.
