Ready

‘Wait, why is this spell so strong?’

‘It one-shotted him?’

Just as Su Ran was about to use Frost Rose again, she saw the ice created by the spell rapidly climb up the monster’s body.

The monster, frozen into an ice sculpture, stood in place like an exquisite work of art.

However, the bone-chilling cold emanating from the ice sculpture told everyone present that this was no mere decoration, but a spell truly cast by Su Ran.

“This…”

Maimai, who had already retreated to a safe distance, was speechless when she saw Su Ran cast Frost Rose.

The power of the spell Su Ran used was beyond her imagination.

The seemingly terrifying monster was nonchalantly frozen into an ice sculpture by her.

To be honest, Maimai had rarely seen Su Ran in action.

Although Philly had constantly told her how strong Lady Su Ran was, now that Maimai had seen Su Ran use magic with her own eyes, she realized her imagination had been far too lacking.

“So cold!”

Canlisa, draped over Isa, was the most sensitive to the temperature change.

Her shivering body burrowed into Isa’s softness, leaving only her little cat head exposed.

Compared to the witches who still had the leisure to watch Su Ran, the Church personnel who had arrived before Su Ran could only stand with their legs trembling.

They were in no mood to admire the ice sculpture.

Their terrified gazes were fixed on the person who had cast the spell.

The Holy Stones they wore emanated a gentle warmth, reminding them.

The person before them, whose face they couldn’t see clearly, was a witch!

“It’s over! It’s a witch!”

Looking at the ice sculpture, a priest in the ranks had already collapsed to the ground, his face pale with terror as he looked at the witch before him, thinking he was about to become part of the sculpture himself.

The immense gap in power left him with no will to resist.

The icy vines rooted in the monster’s body did not spread across the ground.

They only bound their target tightly, and without Su Ran’s command, they would not overstep their bounds.

However, the Church members standing here all felt as if they were being stared at by a venomous snake, not daring to move an inch.

Although they had the numerical advantage, for some reason, they had the illusion of being surrounded by Su Ran alone.

Even when surrounded by the Church’s forces, there was not a trace of panic on Su Ran’s face.

These people, who were overwhelmed by a single Sequence Five monster, posed no threat to Su Ran whatsoever.

Without much explanation, Su Ran clenched her five fingers.

Receiving the command, the icy vines tightened their grip, and several cracks appeared on the surface of the ice sculpture.

The faces of everyone present turned pale as they watched the intact ice sculpture suddenly shatter into fine, tiny pieces of ice.

And among the numerous ice fragments, a piece of ice located at the very center of the monster caught the attention of everyone present.

The reason was simple: a metal tag, hidden within the frozen flesh and blood, was revealed in its original form.

A priest who was a little closer could already clearly see the name engraved on it.

“Korn!” the priest couldn’t help but cry out.

The monster covered in flesh and blood just now was actually Korn!

Seeing this scene, the priest felt his entire worldview suffer a severe impact.

“This must be the witch’s plot! She turned Korn into a monster!”

He refused to believe the reality he was seeing, immersing himself in his own world.

He stared only at himself.

Hearing this, she, who had just finished clearing all the ice fragments, was about to leave the scene.

After being prompted by so many priests, Su Ran suddenly felt that the extra Frost Rose she had bought could be put to use.

She prepared to use the Frost Rose that was about to expire.

A brand-new Frost Rose appeared in her hand, aimed at the man before her.

“If I wanted to kill someone, why would I need to go through so much trouble?”

As she spoke, she pointed the Frost Rose at the priest in front of her.

“Do you want a taste of Frost Rose?”

The priest in front of her shook his head frantically, not even caring about his constantly nodding forehead, while inwardly wishing he could kick his troublesome subordinate a couple of times.

This terrifying witch was about to leave, and you just had to say something to make her stay.

“What about you?”

Su Ran turned and walked towards the next priest.

After making a round, she found that under the threat of death, these priests were all spineless.

A look of mockery appeared on Su Ran’s face.

She no longer needed to bother with the Church’s priests.

Sant being locked in the main prison when the second murder occurred was the best alibi.

Moreover, Su Ran believed that these priests, in order to protect their own reputations, would definitely connect these two murder cases to her, the witch who had appeared at the scene.

Although the Church wouldn’t be able to grasp the whole truth, Su Ran had no time to play detective games with them and guide them to discover the anomaly with the Holy Stones.

From Philly, Su Ran had already heard about the predicament the Witch of the Book, Lecy, was facing.

If they were delayed in Hermel…

By the time they reached Tukulu, Lecy might be forced into a white wedding dress.

Just as Su Ran had predicted, early the next morning, Maimai, who had been staking out the nearby church, saw Sant being released.

The two didn’t speak immediately but waited until they had returned to their temporary lodging and confirmed they weren’t being followed before making contact.

Fortunately, Sant had already delivered the letter to the contact before his second visit to Lu Wen’s house.

The merchant caravan had been prepared before Lu Wen’s death, so Isa and the others could still leave Hermel under its cover.

After so much bad news, this was the only good news for them.

After some discussion, the group decided on a time to leave Hermel.

“Ranran, are you still on your phone? Hurry up and come get your makeup done!”

Su Ran, who had been staring at her phone, was pulled up by Yuan Shirui and whisked away to the backstage of the cafe.

Pushing Su Ran down onto a chair, Yuan Shirui looked at the dark circles under Su Ran’s eyes, which resembled panda makeup, and couldn’t help but complain, “Ranran, were you out being a thief last night?”

Faced with Yuan Shirui’s complaint, Su Ran was at a loss for words.

She hadn’t been a thief last night; she had been Lady Witch for a whole night.

The result was that after disappearing from the priests’ sight, she had glanced at the time on her phone and saw that it was already five in the morning.

She hadn’t slept for more than a few hours before being dragged up by Winnie and Yuan Shirui for breakfast and to get her clothes, and then rushed to the cafe to prepare.

“It’s not a big problem. A little touch-up will do.”

Winnie wasn’t too concerned about the dark circles under Su Ran’s eyes.

With Su Ran’s natural looks, this small problem could be easily solved.

And so, under Yuan Shirui’s skillful makeup artistry, the dark circles on Su Ran’s face were easily concealed.

Then she put on the maid outfit and white stockings.

Maid Little Ran was ready to go!
