When the plot-skips players into the game world

Upon hearing the battle above, she had already cautiously initiated multiple rituals in the basement for herself.

——[Bullet Protection], [Minor Piercing Natural Resistance], [Slash Protection], [Stable Spellcasting], [Weakness Reinforcement].

Of course, she had maximized her status effects, preparing her strongest attack in advance before she came out to face them.

Even though she was speaking with Aiwass, her attention was actually focused on Hayna.

The moment Hayna got distracted, she would immediately throw the "Cursed Infant" in her hand. It would automatically track the heart; upon contact, it would burrow into the body and tear through the internal organs, causing frost damage.

Accompanied by an unbearable sharp pain, it would also freeze the blood vessels near the heart. Even if one didn't die after consumption, any violent movement could tear their own internal organs, resulting in massive bleeding. Not even a bishop could save such a wound.

...But if this attack missed and she got caught in a melee.

Even though she had enhanced herself with multiple buff statuses, she likely couldn't defeat this young Inspector.

She could sense that he must have mastered the power of the third energy level.

Although she was unsure of the properties of his Path, she might lose in a direct confrontation.

——There's only one chance!

The instant she saw Aiwass raising the gun at her, she had already decided on her tactics.

She had specifically reinforced her defense.

She might have been wary of a high-powered firearm, but Grip of the Lady's was weak.

It might not even fully penetrate a thicker oak barrel filled with wine. That lady Knight across from her could probably block the bullet with her muscle.

Such a bullet, even if it hit her precisely in vulnerable spots like her eyes or throat, couldn't inflict a serious injury on her.

And Aiwass Moriarty was just a young man who had never handled a gun, ignorant of everything. As a Transcendent of the Resonance Path, she could keenly sense that... even if Aiwass had an Extraordinary Profession, he was at least one rank below her.

Because she didn't feel any threat from him.

His daring to shoot at Admar was because Admar had already lost his fighting capacity, akin to shooting at a still target.

Observing the corpse of Admar, the bullet had a normal power, not specially modified by a craftsman.

But she was alive and could dodge. Not knowing whether she could avoid his shot, he would definitely choose to aim for her torso to increase the hit rate.

And the protection she had prepared could easily block this shot.

But she could pretend to be fatally wounded, making the young lady Knight relax her guard. Then she would take the chance to launch a surprise attack——

"How about it? Take a bet!"

She laughed heartily, as though truly fearless, "You only have one chance!"

Veronica knew that if the bullet hit her eyes, or throat, or other vulnerable spots, it could indeed interrupt her spellcasting. But first, Aiwass might not dare to make such a shot—he only had one chance.

By continuing to pressure him, the young man would make a cautious choice!

And as long as this shot didn't hit a fatal weak point, she could safely block it;

At worst, her spellcasting would be interrupted. His pitiful handgun still couldn't inflict effective damage on her—and she still had a chance to attack the lady Knight.

——No matter what, at least I won't lose.

Come on, come on.

"Hurry up and give me a shot——"

After quickly determining her tactics based on her experience, Veronica stood in place and continued to taunt:

"What a laughable and pitiful boy. You escaped last time, but not this time. Don't tell me you think that because this thing could kill that idiot, it could also..."

——Bang!

The next moment, the gunshot rang out.

A dark line passed through Veronica's head.

Her bald head burst apart like a watermelon exploding.

The spells in Veronica's hands went out of control and scattered, a raging cold wind blew through the entire bar. It made Hayna step back involuntarily, and Aiwass's wheelchair rolled backward until it hit the wall and stopped.

There was even no need for a follow-up attack.

Because she died so quickly, so utterly, that the sustained damage from "Shadow" and "Erosion" didn't even manage to occur.

Tiny white points of light gradually emerged from her corpse, flowing into Aiwass's body.

——This is the simplest way to skip class.

Among the protective rituals she could use, there was no "Cutting," "Piercing," or "Blunt" types of physical resistance. That is, at most, she could only resist "Slash" and "Shooting." But the level of her rituals was too low to be effective against Extraordinary Weapons.

So all that was needed was to find an Extraordinary Weapon with "Cutting," "Piercing," and "Blunt" properties and attack her weak spot with a sneak attack before entering combat. It could penetrate all resistances like attacking a normal unit, deal at least one-third of her health in single damage, and directly render her defenseless and unconscious.

Then one round of output could take her down.

And in reality, without the three times health boost from the four-person boss module, she could be headshotted and killed with a single shot.

After all, the Enchantment Card system was derived from the Great Sin Scholar's abilities. In the 1.0 environment, purple-grade Extraordinary Equipment was exceedingly rare, but two versions later, almost everyone had a set, so the term "Extraordinary" was quite generous coming from the Great Sin Scholar's Phantom Card.
