Chapter 139: A Fool’s Dream

Chapter 139: Chapter 139: A Fool’s Dream

Several extremely slender, faintly glowing mechanical arms immediately extended from the Medical Bag.

They moved with precision and speed. The tip of one arm sprayed a cold, colorless mist, accurately covering the wound’s surface. It instantly numbed the local pain receptors, allowing Seraphina Sinclair’s tense body to relax slightly.

Then, more mechanical arms got to work.

Some emitted a soft, milky-white light that shone on the wound. The damaged muscle and skin tissue, as if guided by an invisible hand, began to slowly but steadily knit together and heal!

Others sprayed a transparent restorative fluid, further nourishing the new cells!

The entire process was efficient, sterile, and possessed a sense of technology that felt beyond reality.

Seraphina Sinclair watched with her own eyes as the wound healed bit by bit, until her skin was once again as smooth as before.

The weakness and excruciating pain in her left arm vanished completely, as if the severe injury had just been an illusion.

The panel refreshed again:

[Treatment Complete!]

[Toxin Neutralized. Tissue Damage Repaired. Consumed Treatment Supply: 15/100.]

[Alert: Medical Bag has automatically closed and is ready for next use.]

All the mechanical arms retracted into the box, and the metal lid snapped shut with a CLICK.

Seraphina Sinclair flexed her left arm. It was nimble and strong—she was fully recovered!

She let out a long sigh of relief, her taut nerves finally getting a moment’s respite.

’It’s a shame my clothes won’t repair themselves.’

Seraphina Sinclair flicked the torn corner of her clothing, stared at it for a moment, and finally sighed in resignation.

’Oh well.’

’I’ll just wear it for now... Once I’m done moving, I’ll change into my loungewear.’

With that thought, Seraphina Sinclair gripped her longsword again.

The bathroom’s existence was far more significant than she had imagined. Getting a chance to catch her breath like this in the middle of a battle was an incredible rarity.

Seraphina Sinclair carefully reviewed everything that had just happened, meticulously recalling any flaws in her response strategy.

That monster wasn’t just huge—its strength was absurd!

The instant Seraphina Sinclair parried its bony limb, it felt like being hit head-on by a speeding truck. The sheer crushing force was something she was utterly powerless to resist.

’Clashing head-on is definitely the worst possible strategy.’

At this thought, Seraphina Sinclair couldn’t help but clench her fists. ’What kind of monsters have I run into since the move today?’

’A Six-Armed Corruptor, and now a Hundred-Eyed Rotfiend!’

The Strength Attribute Seraphina Sinclair had increased was already far beyond that of an average human, but in front of these monsters, it was still laughably inadequate.

Thinking this, Seraphina Sinclair gave a wry smile, but her mood wasn’t gloomy.

At least Rotting Corpses were no longer a threat to her. She hadn’t forgotten how pathetic she’d been during the novice trial.

Only by looking back could she see how much she had grown. And after seeing the changes along the way, she focused her sights back on the present.

All Seraphina Sinclair could feel was a burgeoning ambition!

’After I kill this Hundred-Eyed Rotfiend, the D-level Treasure Chest it drops will definitely give me something better than daily necessities!’

This thought gave Seraphina Sinclair a boundless source of motivation.

"The difference in strength is too great. I can’t block, only dodge,"

she summarized in a low voice, her gaze sharp and resolute. "Plus, its attack range is wide, and its spewed venom is impossible to fully guard against."

’The Heavenly Light Rune is effective, but it doesn’t seem to be enough to seriously wound it in an instant. It’s more for suppression and harassment.’

’Its core weakness is still those eyes!’

"I have to attack the eyes, and it has to be fast, precise, and ruthless!"

Seraphina Sinclair tightened her grip on her sword’s hilt, feeling the renewed strength coursing through her. "I can’t give it another chance to counterattack. Or... I could just trade injuries!"

She had the time and space to resupply, but the monster could only stay in the mobile cabin, passively waiting for its prey... who was also the hunter!

Seraphina Sinclair made up her mind but didn’t rush to act.

’The rune making materials are in my Silver Moon Earrings. I’ll quickly draw a few more Heavenly Light Runes and wear it down some more.’

’It would be foolish to have items and not use them, fighting recklessly with brute force.’

After getting everything ready, Seraphina Sinclair gripped her longsword, took a deep breath, and darted back into the mobile cabin.

The black mist had faded. Almost instantly, the dozens of eyes on the Hundred-Eyed Rotfiend’s body locked onto her.

The monster was clearly confused. It wondered how this prey had suddenly vanished and just as suddenly reappeared.

But this confusion certainly didn’t stop it from continuing the hunt!

The flames on its body had yet to be extinguished, and the Hundred-Eyed Rotfiend’s hatred for Seraphina Sinclair burned just as fiercely, growing more intense with each passing moment.

"ROAR!"

It let out a deafening roar as its massive body spun around. A giant, bony limb covered in slime and Bone Spikes swung down at Seraphina Sinclair’s head with the force to crush anything in its path!

The wind shrieked!

Seraphina Sinclair was prepared. As she tore open a Heavenly Light Rune, she nimbly changed her position.

In the instant she moved, she directed the exploding flames to fly toward the monster’s body!

The golden-white flames immediately seared the rotten flesh where the monster’s arm connected to its body. Several eyeballs embedded there instantly blackened and burst.

The monster shrieked in pain and rage. Its other, uninjured limb and the smaller tentacles attached to its body whipped and clawed wildly toward Seraphina Sinclair’s position!

Her eyes cold, Seraphina Sinclair didn’t linger. She decisively flashed back into the bathroom.

’That was a decent ambush,’ she thought, ’but it’s a shame I didn’t get a chance to use my longsword.’

She took a deep breath and took out another Heavenly Light Rune.

’Again!’

...

After a few more attempts, Seraphina Sinclair finally faced reality.

The Heavenly Light Rune was indeed the strongest offensive rune in her possession, but it was still just an E+ Level Talisman. Neither the Heavenly Light Rune nor the Corpse Annihilation Talisman could inflict any substantial damage on this monster.

Seraphina Sinclair could clearly feel that the higher the monster’s grade, the larger the gap between two consecutive levels.

’Since the runes are useless, there’s no need to waste any more.’

Now, to kill this D-level monster, there was only one option left.

Get in close and attack its eyeballs!

But with the creature already locked onto her, getting close was basically a suicide mission.

The monster’s attack power was immense and its range was huge. A single swipe would be the end of her!

Her expression grew grim. As her thoughts raced, another idea came to her.

It was an idea that relied heavily on luck.

Teleporting from the bathroom to the mobile cabin had a completely random destination point.

In other words, Seraphina Sinclair might appear far from the Hundred-Eyed Rotfiend, or she might appear right next to it.

Ever since her first teleport, Seraphina Sinclair had been trying to find a pattern to the landing spots.

To this day, she had only discovered one rule: after teleporting, her feet would always be on the floor of the mobile cabin.

Previously, while there were no monsters in the mobile cabin, there had been a few pieces of furniture.

The fact that Seraphina Sinclair had never once landed on her own bed was very telling.

’Then, it’s time to gamble. I’ll bet that my next landing spot will be right beside the Hundred-Eyed Rotfiend! I’ll bet that I can stab its vitals with my longsword before it can kill me!’

’With the Advanced Medical Kit, as long as I have even a single breath left, I’ll win!’

The logic of this plan was crystal clear, if a bit reckless.
