Chapter 49: Night attack, a Tier 3 Wraith

Half an hour earlier, while Ram was still infusing Life Energy into the vitality mushrooms, unaware that the large amounts of life energy he was continuously infusing were attracting nearby wraiths.

Su Mu, who was about to go to bed, suddenly felt the presence of these wraiths heading toward their location.

This time, it wasn't just one but three wraiths approaching. She initially thought the wraith she had fought before had brought reinforcements.

She didn't bother informing Ram, deciding to handle the situation herself.

She stepped out of her compartment and intercepted them, but to her surprise, the wraith they fought with before was nowhere to be seen.

Su Mu couldn't quite understand what had attracted them, but she noticed a pattern.

Since meeting Ram, wraiths seemed to appear again and again, a stark contrast to her usual nights where she wouldn't find a single wraith despite searching for hours.

"This is strange," Su Mu thought, a smile curving her lips. "Normally, I wouldn't even find one wraith after searching all night. But now, they come in a group."

As a Soul Reaper, she had a special ability to improve herself after purifying wraiths, ghosts, or evil spirits.

It was also the reason how she met Ram again, at that time she felt the presence of a wraith nearby and wanted to purify it to accelerate her evolution toward Tier 2.

Looking at the three wraiths now, she smiled confidently. "Ha-ha-ha, come on! After purifying you three, I should be able to evolve again," she said, showing no fear that would typically plague humans upon seeing wraiths.

Meanwhile, inside the subway station, a large open hall that once hosted numerous passengers was now a high-tech workshop.

Automated mechanical arms, capable of precise and heavy tasks, hung from the ceiling, working on various things some fixing, while some repairing.

The walls on the sides were lined with advanced toolkits with multi-functional capabilities and energy-based enhancements.

Scattered around the corners were books, life energy crystals, and broken machine parts.

In the center of the hall, there was a large circular workbench integrated with holographic displays.

A woman was sitting at this workbench, working on an exoskeleton suit for her next mission.

She suddenly looked at the holographic display behind her, where she saw Su Mu moving toward the location of the wraiths.

It was not just Su Mu, who found these wraiths, Mai who was working also found them through detection devices she had placed around the subway station.

Mai had actually been secretly monitoring both Ram and Su Mu since they arrived, not out of distrust but to ensure they didn't do anything that could harm her or Sid.

"Three wraiths, huh?" Mai muttered, her eyes narrowing. "I need to help Su Mu." When Mai found, not one but three wraiths, two Tier 1 and one Tier 3. She quickly left the basement, heading toward Su Mu to help her.

Although Mai was a Mechanic, she had another profession unknown to others—Arcane Master.

It was thanks to her talent, Super Computing, which allowed her to process information and learn at an accelerated rate, similar to a supercomputer, that enabled her to become a professional with dual main professions.

Since then, she was able to learn mechanical knowledge, spells, and martial arts techniques, and could process information faster than anyone she knew.

While she didn't have many methods to deal with wraiths as a Mechanic, her Arcane Master skills included a few spells that could cause damage to wraiths.

Escaping safely wouldn't be a problem. Wraiths, lacking physical bodies, were notoriously hard to kill, which was also the reason why low-level professionals feared them so much.

Despite her abilities, she still felt a pang of nervousness.

"Just in case," she whispered to herself, preparing a few spells in advance as she ran. "Better to be safe than sorry."

Meanwhile, Su Mu engaged the wraiths with a dagger made of spiritual power in her hands. Her ability to create energy weapons made her a formidable opponent.

She moved gracefully, each strike imbued with spiritual power, purifying the wraiths one by one.

"Come on, is that all you've got?" she taunted, feeling the thrill of battle. The first wraith screamed under her attack, its ethereal form flickering as it began to fade.

As a Soul Reaper, each of her attacks was not just a simple strike but carried the special ability to disintegrate or purify spirit bodies.

The second wraith lunged at her, its ghostly form darting through the air with surprising speed.

Su Mu sidestepped effortlessly, her movements fluid and precise. She spun on her heel, bringing the dagger around in a swift arc.

The blade of spiritual energy sliced through the wraith, causing it to emit a high-pitched wail. The wraith recoiled, its form shimmering as it struggled to maintain its cohesion.

Su Mu didn't give it a chance to recover. She lunged forward, her dagger flashing in the dim light of the subway station.

She struck the wraith again, this time aiming for what she perceived as its core. The wraith screeched louder, its form distorting and flickering wildly before it dissipated into the air.

"Two down, one to go," Su Mu muttered, turning her attention to the third wraith, a Tier 3.

Unlike previous Tier 1 wraiths, this one seemed more intelligent, or at least more cautious. It hovered at a distance, its hollow eyes glowing with a malevolent light.

The Tier 3 wraith seemed to understand the danger Su Mu posed. It darted in and out of the shadows, using the environment to its advantage.

Su Mu followed its movements carefully, her eyes narrowing as she tried to predict its next move.

Suddenly, the wraith charged at her with a burst of speed, its ghostly claws extended. Su Mu dropped to one knee, letting the wraith's momentum carry it over her.

As it passed, she slashed upward with her dagger, catching it across the midsection. The wraith let out a gurgling scream, its form wavering but not dissipating.

"You won't escape me," Su Mu said through gritted teeth. But she noticed that the damage she caused to the wraith was minimal. This wraith was tougher than the others.
