Instant Kill

Chapter 14 • 1,442 words • 13 min read

After learning that the opponent in front of her was a quasi-knight, Isa’s gaze never left him.

Isa was worried that he would suddenly disappear from her sight and then appear out of nowhere to strike her with a sword.

Just now, it was Isa’s subconscious that had sensed the danger and blocked it. She couldn’t always rely on her subconscious to work.

Go back to the house!

The first thing Isa thought of was the magic array engraved outside the house that had withstood the Carrion Vultures. Even after being repeatedly impacted by the Carrion Vultures, there was no sign of it collapsing.

As long as Isa could get back to the house, relying on the magic array engraved on the house itself, she would have a chance to survive, and even counter-kill this Sequence Two knight.

Now, how to leave under the watchful eyes of the quasi-knight became the first problem Isa faced.

Facing a witch, the education Balun had received since he was a child would never allow him to be soft-hearted.

The sneak attack just now, because he needed to hide his figure, Balun didn’t mobilize the magic essence in the air, which gave the witch room to resist, but now it was completely different.

His whole body was covered with magic essence protection.

This time, Balun switched to holding his sword with both hands.

He mobilized the magic essence in the air and converged it towards the longsword in his hand. The rich magic essence made the already silver-white blade shine with a milky white light.

Balun took a sudden step forward, leaving a shallow pit in the forest ground.

“Die!”

With the belief of killing the witch, Balun swung his sword at Isa.

However, even with Balun’s full-strength sword strike, it still didn’t hit Isa.

Because in Balun’s field of vision, dark green smoke emerged from Isa’s body and gradually drifted around, rising.

Due to the magic essence protection, no matter what effect these smokes had, they couldn’t have any effect on Balun.

But the colored smoke rising around still hindered Balun’s vision. Now he had lost sight of the witch in front of him.

Balun didn’t dare to move recklessly, for fear that the witch would be like him, lurking in the dark and waiting for an opportunity to ambush him. He could only stand in place and get ready to defend.

At this moment, after Isa threw out the smoke, she skillfully escaped from her original position and ran towards the house.

In addition to the paralysis potion, Isa also had a potion that could produce thick smoke. Faced with Balun’s sword strike.

Isa didn’t sit back and wait for death, but threw down the potion and used the rising thick smoke to cover her figure and escape from the scene.

‘Fortunately, I knew in advance that there was still another person and I was always on guard, otherwise I would have been successfully ambushed by him just now.’

Looking back at the green smoke rising behind her, Isa, who had successfully escaped, still had lingering fears.

The sound of talking at the beginning had exposed the knights’ whereabouts. Through the figures, Isa had even counted the number of people in their group.

After watching this group of knights disperse, the hidden Isa didn’t find the leader who had spoken. It was obvious that after Balun had given them the order to disperse, he had also found a direction to look for her.

Isa deliberately bypassed the leader and dealt with the others first.

She was somewhat glad that she had stepped into Sequence One and used her evolved ability to make the paralysis potion.

It made this group of damn apprentice knights not make a single sound before they died, which would have alerted others.

Otherwise, Isa would have been facing the attack of more than just one quasi-knight now.

She had to be faster. The duration of the smoke potion would not be too long. As long as the smoke dispersed, the traces left behind would indicate the direction of her departure.

The magic essence was being consumed rapidly in Isa’s body. Her speed had reached its limit. Even with the blessing of magic essence, Isa, who was only Sequence One, could not continue to increase her running speed.

But it didn’t matter. The location of the house was very close now. Isa could even see the dark gray roof of the house protruding from the woods. As long as she quickened her pace, she could go back smoothly.

The front yard of the house had already appeared in Isa’s eyes, only a few steps away.

“Die!”

A figure appeared along with the voice, leaping high behind Isa. The silver armor in the sunlight was like a ball of light falling towards Isa’s back.

At this critical moment, there was no room for Isa to hesitate. If she was stopped by the knight at this position, then she would lose the best opportunity to go back to the house, and thus might lose the protection of the magic array.

Isa used the remaining magic essence in her body to give herself an acceleration, and she narrowly brushed past the longsword in Balun’s hand.

Balun’s combat experience was obviously more seasoned than Isa’s. Even though his sword strike was dodged by Isa, he still kicked Isa’s back hard.

In the next moment, Isa, who was kicked, was like a broken kite crashing into the wall of the house. The powerful impact made her feel that her entire back no longer belonged to her.

With a puff, a mouthful of blood spewed out of her mouth. Isa’s pale lips were like faded roses.

The injured Isa stared at the knight outside the house. With the impact of the kick just now, she had returned to the protection range of the magic array.

“You can’t escape anymore!”

Seeing that the witch who had been kicked by him was in a weakened state, now was the best time to cut off the witch’s head. Balun moved cautiously towards the house with his sword in hand.

Since the witch was running this way, then this house must have an ambush she had set up.

Balun was not a newcomer after all. Seeing the witch desperately running this way, he definitely realized that the witch was prepared.

He carefully took a step into the house.

His sense of crisis, which had been trained through struggling on the edge of life and death many times, made him realize that something was wrong, but it was too late. An aura enveloped him.

As if sensing that he was being targeted by a man-eating beast, Balun’s body trembled continuously.

The terrifying aura it emitted made a top-down fear arise from his heart.

Balun, whose movements were restricted, his eyeballs rolled rapidly. Even if his body was out of control, his consciousness was still thinking of a way to escape.

Sequence Five? No, Sequence Six? Why didn’t the Holy Stone work?

Even in the Church, facing the Sequence Six archbishops, they couldn’t make people feel fear with just their aura.

Balun’s gaze gradually became scattered, and his expression became dull.

Even at the end of his life, he was still thinking about the strength of this aura that made him unable to move, wanting to warn his companions not to avenge him.

Although in Balun’s thoughts, his last moments were gradually prolonged, from Isa’s perspective, the other party had only taken one step into the range of the house, and almost at the same time, a blood flower bloomed between his eyebrows.

This time, the magic array did not flicker non-stop like when it was resisting the Carrion Vultures, not even a symbolic flicker.

A Sequence Two enemy, facing the defensive magic array of the house, also only ended up being instantly killed.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, Isa would never have thought that there was a magic array around the house that could instantly kill enemies.

“Thank you…for the Witch’s blessing!”

Isa panted lightly and slowly got up while holding onto the wall. The pain in her back made her stumble during the process of getting up.

Balun’s kick was not light. Even the wall of the house was smashed into a shallow pit by Isa.

Thinking of this, Isa looked at the wall. The shallow pit on the wall had been restored to its original state, and there was no sign of any previous damage.

Before Isa could walk back to the house, her vision went black and she fell directly outside the house.
