Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 254 Prey and Hunter

Dozens of minutes later, outside the tavern, which had been completely reduced to rubble, a group of police officers were hurriedly surrounding the scene to prevent the fire from spreading to the surrounding houses.

Next to the collapsed building, a bartender in a black vest with a beautiful mustache was talking to a man in a brown windbreaker and a deerstalker hat. Behind them was the wreckage of the building burning fiercely. It seemed that the bartender in the black vest accidentally ignited the gas in the gas pipeline during the battle, causing the explosion.

"We paid a huge price this time, risking the entire plan being exposed, and even delivering some real intelligence to that guy, which led to the spy being lured out. But now you're telling me that you let her get away?"

"I told you long ago that this guy is not that easy to deal with." The man in the brown windbreaker said gloomily, while simulating the Ocean Singer's ability to control water and put out the flames behind him. "Why are you acting alone?"

"By the time you slowly set up the trap, she would have already run away!" The black-vest bartender retorted without showing any weakness, completely failing to tell that he was the one who had just let the suspected demigod-level Loen spy escape. "You don't have the Iron Knight's ability to distribute his extraordinary abilities to others, so it's impossible for you to succeed in your ambush!"

"Egor, you hunters are tougher than the damn loaves of bread in Serenzo's restaurant!"

Seeing Yegor's refusal to repent, the man in the windbreaker gnashed his teeth in anger and said, "I'm going back to the church to get the corresponding seal. When facing a prey that you are not sure of taking down, it is wise to wait for the opportunity to change weapons!"

"Then it seems that you are not smart enough, Dirk." Yegor glanced at him, "Because if you are smart enough, you should directly take the tracking seal to help me track that guy, instead of standing here with a hidden seal and doing nothing, which can only waste my time for hunting."

The demigod of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom was so angry that he didn't know what to say for a moment. Yegor Einhorn stroked his mustache with satisfaction, trying to hide the discomfort caused by the damage transmitted from his subordinates.

As a Hunter Path Sequence 4 "Iron Knight", he possesses courage comparable to steel. Not only can he manipulate various types of fire, but he can also turn himself into steel. Even the most ordinary things can be turned into terrifying killing weapons under the enhancement of his characteristics.

Most importantly, he can establish a hidden connection with the army, concentrate the power of the entire fleet on himself, and distribute the damage, or share the vision of members; conversely, he can also disperse his power to everyone in the team and reduce the presence of the main body.

He used this ability just now. He first dispersed his power to avoid Xio's detection, and then let the power flow back when Xio was stunned, launching a sneak attack at almost zero distance.

However, Xio's reaction speed was beyond his expectation. Although he did cut Xio in the first place by turning his body into a weapon, he was pierced by the interrogator's mind and the banishment of the law mage and was blown away in the next second.

The following battle was not so pleasant. Yegor Einhorn, the former commander of Feysac's fleet who was replaced due to poor command, had fought against the Loen Kingdom's ironclad ships several times at sea and encountered the Loen Kingdom's Judge Demigod. But at that time, he thought that those guys just relied on the advantages of the ironclad ships to maximize their restrictive capabilities, and they might not be his opponents in a one-on-one fight.

But in the battle just now, the short female demigod showed amazing resilience, calmly eliminating several waves of his attacks, and the perfect "forbidden" made him feel uncomfortable every time. She fought with him for almost three minutes before she left before the "secret art instructor" Dirk arrived late.

"Moreover, she was indifferent to my ridicule? She looked like a little kid who would get angry if I scolded her, but who knew that she would run away as soon as she said..."

Yegor glanced at the "prophet" Dirk who was almost having a heart attack, and recalled his previous taunting with some confusion, as if he was wondering if he had forgotten to use his ability.

He didn't know that the method to anger the female demigod was actually not that complicated; and Xio had long been accustomed to his sarcastic remarks during the brief battle.

"However, she was indeed injured by me, and she doesn't have the ability to travel through the spirit world, so she can't leave the scene quickly. If I can't track the target with the blood of the prey, then there is no point in me being a hunter demigod."

Yegor thought secretly, ignoring Dirk beside him, he stomped the ground suddenly, turned into a fast-flying flaming spear, chased towards the distance, causing a burst of exclamations on the ground.

"That guy, could you at least consider the issue of being seen by ordinary people?!"

The Beyonder from the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom walked in from outside the venue with some anger, and said to Dirk, "This is why I don't want to deal with those hunters..."

Although he is only a Sequence 5 "Mystic Instructor", he holds a powerful Level 1 Sealed Artifact, which makes him an archbishop of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom, on the same level as Dirk, and he has no scruples about what he says.

"Although I was told not to get angry with these guys before I set off, saying it is one thing and doing it is another."

Dirk sighed, but then he changed the subject.

"But fortunately, these annoying guys will be greatly reduced soon."

"Praise the embodiment of knowledge." The Archbishop of the Church of the God of Knowledge and Wisdom also nodded in understanding and performed the common etiquette of the followers of the Church of Knowledge.

“His will will be carried out.”

Dirk said seriously, and did not chase in the direction Yegor left, but stopped to put out the fire.

The dancing flames stretched his shadow out very long, making him look hideous and terrifying.

……

At the same time, Trier issued a martial law order, and the official Beyonders in various divisions also took action, searching for Rune's spies from house to house.

At the same time, members of the Tarot Club in Bayam's New Silver City, the secret dock where the ghost ship was being repaired, the secret base of the Moss Ascetic Order, the church camp on the southern continent, the country inn near Constant City, and the bathroom on the Honeysuckle Queen received the message from Miss Judgment.

The Iron Cross and the Church of Knowledge have reached an agreement on something, most likely involving the Sequence 1 characteristics and the mysterious 0-01.
