Start as a Spiritual Planter: I Have a Game Panel

Su Mu, who saw the energy shield, fired several consecutive shots to destroy it.

However, the shield absorbed all the bullet impacts, protecting her.

It is important to note that a Gauss rifle uses electromagnetic coils to accelerate a ferromagnetic projectile to high speeds, achieving speeds significantly higher than traditional bullets, often exceeding 2,000 m/s, still it didn't do any damage to the energy shield.

While the old woman's attention was on Su Mu, Mai dashed toward Sid and Liam.

The old woman, noticing Mai's attempt to rescue them, became enraged.

Disregarding Su Mu's attacks, she turned her anger towards Mai, launching the same needle-like projectiles she had used on Sid and Liam in an effort to capture Mai as well.

As the old woman launched her needle-like projectiles toward Mai, her movements were precise and calculated, thanks to her mechanical eye.

However, Mai's reflexes were far beyond what the old woman had anticipated. In an instant, she activated 'Flash Step,' her body becoming a blur as arcs of electricity crackled around her legs.

Each step left behind afterimages, confusing the old woman and rendering her attacks futile.

The projectiles zipped through the air, but Mai's enhanced speed made it seem as if time had slowed.

She weaved through the incoming barrage with fluid grace, each motion seamless.

The old woman's sneer faltered as she realized that her carefully aimed attacks were missing their mark entirely.

"Impossible…!" the old woman hissed, her mechanical eye struggling to track Mai's erratic movements.

Moving in such a manner should be impossible with her current physique, even with the help of Flash Step.

Nevertheless, she was able to combine her arcane energy with her spiritual power which boosted her speed, far more than an ordinary flash step could achieve.

As Mai closed in on Sid and Liam, her mind raced calculating various outcomes.

She knew that the cords were too strong to cut with conventional weapons, but if she could get close enough, she might have a chance to sever them without harming Sid and Liam in the process.

She never expected someone to sneak attack them, since the attack earlier was just ordinary monsters.

She thought to assess the team's combat skills and understand their strength, so she refrained from preparing any of her equipment.

However she is still confident in her own strength, she believes handling the old woman would not pose a problem, so she wanted to save Sid and Liam first before the old woman could use them for her own advantage, causing more trouble.

But, before she could reach them, she saw something unbelievable. Su Mu made a decisive move.

Realizing the Gauss rifle was ineffective against the shield, she threw the rifle aside, seamlessly transitioning back to her bow.

With practiced precision, she infused her spiritual power into it and aimed directly at the old woman.

The old woman who saw this didn't care, still confident in the shield that she spent tens of thousands of shadow points, dismissed Su Mu's efforts with a derisive sneer.

"Fools," she scoffed, "You'll need more than that to—"

However, her voice froze mid-taunt, as Su Mu loosed the arrow.

It streaked through the air with deadly precision, with a glowing streak of light, aimed directly at the old woman.

In an instant, the arrow that was made up of spiritual power similar to the daggers she used when she fought with Wraiths, pierced through the old woman's shield as if it was made of paper, defying the laws of physics and logic.

Making the old woman's expression twist in disbelief as the arrow buried itself in her throat.

"What? How—" she choked, her voice gurgling as blood mixed with the mechanical fluids leaked out through the hole made by the arrow.

The old woman staggered backward, her mechanical limbs jerking uncontrollably as the arrow's remaining energy short-circuited her systems.

With a final, pained scream, she collapsed to the ground, her body convulsing before falling still.

The robots that were attacking Ram and Groot froze in place, their connection to their master severed by the old woman's death.

The forest fell silent once more, the eerie quiet settling over the battlefield as the last echoes of the old woman's laugh faded into nothingness.

All eyes turned to Su Mu in shock; everything had happened so fast.

The fight had barely begun, and the overconfident, crazy old woman was already dead in an instant.

The team stood frozen for a moment, processing the sudden end to the battle.

Mai snapped out of it first, rushing to Sid and Liam's side. She quickly assessed their condition, noticing that the cords were still constricting their limbs.

The immediate threat had been neutralized, but they were far from safe. "Hang on, I'm getting you out," she said firmly, her hands already moving to channel her spiritual power.

She carefully directed it to unravel the cords, working to break the restraints without causing any harm.

Sid and Liam were still catching their breath, their expressions a mix of relief and lingering tension.

Sid gritted his teeth as he felt the cords loosen under Mai's touch, he muttered. "Thanks, sister."

Liam, on the other hand, tried to make light of the situation. "I guess I owe you all one," he said with a wry smile, though the lingering shock was evident in his eyes.

Meanwhile, panting heavily Su Mu holstered her bow, as the arrow just now completely drained all the remaining spiritual power from her body, yet her gaze remained intently fixed on the fallen old woman.

She then glanced at the immobilized robots, now lifeless and still. "That was way too close," she muttered, more to herself than to anyone else.

It's all possible thanks to the new skill she awakened yesterday.

[Hero Skill: Power-storing arrow]: Constantly increase the power, the greater the power, the first-level storage damage is 150%, the second-level storage is 175%, the third-level storage is 200%, and the fourth-level storage is 225%.

Her typically serene composure was briefly unsettled as she grasped the narrow escape from catastrophe, and the shot she had previously made was a third-level one, doubling the power of an already lethal Spiritual Arrow.

Mai finally broke the last of the cords, freeing Sid and Liam completely. "Alright, you're both good to go," she said, stepping back to give them space.

"But let's not stick around any longer than we need to."

Sid stretched his arms, rolling his shoulders to shake off the lingering tension. "Agreed. I'm ready to get out of this place," he said, casting a wary glance at the forest around them.

Liam nodded in agreement, still slightly winded. "Let's move before someone else decides to show up," he added.

Mai took a serious look at the old woman's body, with a simple wave of her hand, a series of glowing magic circles formed beneath the bodies of the old woman and her mechanical robots.

The circles were made up of intricate spiritual runes, swirling with energy. In an instant, the runes pulsed, and the bodies were swallowed up, vanishing into thin air, replaced by small storage capsules.
