# She Returned: Billionaire & System Blue Reaper
## Chapter 10: The First Shadow Battle
More than twenty armed men surrounded Mentona.
Heavy rain began pouring once again.
The empty highway echoed with thunder.
The leader of the masked men smiled confidently.
"Mentona..."
"You've become famous."
"But tonight..."
"Your story ends."
Sophia's face turned pale.
"Chairperson... please run!"
Mentona slowly stepped forward.
Her blue eyes remained calm.
"I've spent my entire life running from pain."
"But not anymore."

The leader shouted,
"Attack!"
All twenty-three men charged at Mentona at once.
Bullets filled the air.
Sophia closed her eyes.
She believed everything was over.
But...
The next second...
Mentona disappeared.
**WHOOSH!**
Only a blue afterimage remained where she had been standing.
"What?!"
The attackers looked around in shock.
They couldn't see her.
Suddenly...
**BANG!**
One man was thrown several meters into the air.
Then another.
Then another.
Within seconds...
Five men were lying unconscious on the road.
The remaining attackers froze.
"She's too fast!"
"Where is she?"
Mentona appeared behind them like a ghost.
"You came to kill me..."
"So don't complain when you lose."
She activated **Blue Combat Technique**.
Her fists glowed with blue energy.
Every punch sent another enemy crashing to the ground.
In less than three minutes...
Twenty-two attackers had been defeated.
Only the leader remained.
His hands trembled.
"This... this is impossible."
"You were just a poor village girl!"
Mentona looked directly into his eyes.
"I was."
"But the girl you abandoned no longer exists."
The leader suddenly laughed.
"You think you've won?"
He pressed a hidden button on his watch.
**BOOM!!**
A gigantic armored truck smashed through the barricade.
The vehicle stopped in front of everyone.
Its doors slowly opened.
A man nearly seven feet tall stepped out.
His body was covered in black armor.
A massive sword rested on his shoulder.
The Blue Reaper System immediately sounded an alarm.
**WARNING!**
**Elite Shadow Warrior Detected.**
Name: **Ragnar**
Rank: **S**
Victory Probability:
**8%**
Sophia's face turned white.
"Chairperson..."
"We can't beat him..."
Ragnar looked at Mentona with cold eyes.
"So..."
"You're the new Blue Reaper."
Mentona smiled fearlessly.
"And you must be the Shadow Organization's watchdog."
Ragnar laughed loudly.
"I like your courage."
"But courage..."
"Won't save your life."
He lifted his gigantic sword.
The ground beneath his feet cracked.
Mentona slowly tightened her fists.
Blue lightning surrounded her body.
The Blue Reaper System displayed one final message.
**Emergency Evolution Available**
Would you like to unlock...
**Blue Reaper Form – Stage 1?**

Host must risk her own life.
Mentona looked at Ragnar.
Then she smiled.
"Yes..."
"I accept."
At that instant...
A blinding pillar of blue light erupted into the sky.
The clouds split apart.
The entire highway shook violently.
Everyone stared in horror.
Because Mentona...
Was beginning to transform.
