Mystery: Mr. Witch and Ms. Hunter

Chapter 8 Death Fight
This time it seems like I hit a wall...

Altaïr narrowly avoided Venata's blowpipe by dodging it, his mind racing.

The opponent's sequence has a very significant improvement in physical fitness, which is not inferior to his own "Assassin" sequence. Altaïr has already known the opponent's fighting strength from the previous fight. His techniques are quite sophisticated. Although his skills are not the same as Altaïr's, the transitions between his moves are very natural, and he is absolutely impossible to defeat him in a short time.

"Besides, this is the territory of the Zmanger Party. If I am discovered, I will be in trouble..."

Altaïr gritted his teeth and made a quick decision. He had been suppressing the opponent before, not allowing him time to hang the necklace on his chest to activate his ability, but this also took up a lot of his energy, making it impossible for him to make a quick decision.

As soon as the thought came to his mind, Altaïr immediately gave up suppressing Venata, knocked Venata's meat saw away with the Bloodletter in his hand, and slammed into Venata, trying to knock her into her room.

And Vinata did not resist. She used the momentum of the collision to roll over and create some distance, quickly hanging the necklace inlaid with rose-colored gems around her neck.

Altaïr stretched out his empty left hand and waved it toward the gate. A brass ring on his left hand flashed with a strange light.

He solemnly announced in ancient Hermetic language: "Interaction with the outside world is prohibited here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible force descended, and the room was isolated from the outside world in a mystical sense, and no sound could be transmitted to the outside world.

This is Altaïr's second magical item, the Paradox Ring of Eutyles, which originated from a "Judge" who failed in his promotion.

There are three main abilities. The first is "prohibition", which uses the ancient Hermetic language to formulate rules that prohibit certain behaviors and extraordinary abilities, forcing everyone within a certain range to comply. And it is this ability that Altaïr uses to create a one-on-one closed environment to prevent the other party from calling in people to cause trouble.

While Altaïr was sealing the room, Venata did not stand still. She poured spiritual energy into her necklace, and then rushed towards Altaïr. Her hands seemed to be open, but in fact, she had already strengthened her body with "Steel Body". If Altaïr dared to attack her mid-lane, he would only be hit by a bear hug or a self-sacrificing throw. The floor of the room was tiled, and being thrown on the hard ground would cause no less damage than being slashed.

So Altaïr jumped onto the table nimbly, and the chair behind him was smashed to pieces by Venata's impact, with wood chips flying everywhere. Of course, this had no effect on Venata's hardened body, and the wood thorns could not pierce her skin. Taking advantage of the height, Altaïr slashed at Venata's head.

Out of trial, he did not infuse spirituality, but simply relied on the sharpness of the blood sucker itself to see if he could hurt the opponent.

The blade touched Venata's neck with a teeth-grinding sound, leaving a deep white mark on Venata's skin which had turned blue-black due to the activation of her ability.

However, the attack did not have the desired effect. Altaïr immediately prepared to withdraw. In order to take advantage of her steely body, Venata abandoned her meat saw and fought Altaïr with grappling, so her attack range was slightly shorter than Altaïr's. Altaïr did not want to give her any room to maneuver, so he immediately decided to distance himself.

At this moment, Venata suddenly looked up and smiled contemptuously at Altaïr.

"Things that haven't been planted."

It was clearly just trash talk, but Altaïr felt a surge of anger rising up, and he wished he could use the Bloodletter to chop the guy in front of him into two pieces immediately!
As he hesitated, he moved too slowly and failed to withdraw in time. Instead, he swung his sword and hit Vinata's head, causing sparks to fly.

Oh no, she has more than Sequence 9, this is a psychic type of extraordinary ability!

Altaïr reacted quickly, but Venata had already stood up and punched Altaïr in the chest. Altaïr had only time to block with his left arm before he was sent flying, hitting the wardrobe hard, causing the clock to fall and shatter, and he felt the blood rushing up.

This girl had been hiding her abilities before, and used provocations to interrupt my actions when she was close to me... She was pushed into the house by me just now on purpose, and she thought she could deal with me alone!
Such a thought flashed through Altaïr's mind. In his eyes, Venata was rushing up quickly, ready to twist and punch. Unexpectedly, a thin layer of ice had already climbed up his feet, making it difficult for him to move.

At this critical moment, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in Altaïr's eyes, and Vinata suddenly felt as if her mind was hit hard by a heavy hammer. The scene in front of her eyes became blurred, her ears were filled with buzzing tinnitus, and the frost spreading towards Altaïr's body also stopped growing.

The second ability of "Otyles's Paradox Ring" comes from the signature ability of "Interrogator", "Mind Piercing"!
Venata has been hiding her extraordinary abilities, and so has Altaïr. After the psychic piercing attack, Venata stumbled back, and Altaïr broke free from the frost. While Venata was still recovering from the damage caused by the psychic piercing, he picked up the vase on the table and smashed it at Venata, then rushed forward and stabbed with a sword! This time, Altaïr used the "Corrosion" and "Sharpness" additional effects of the "Blood-Tearer", and Venata was temporarily unable to resist!

With a dull sound of piercing flesh, Altaïr's sword pierced straight into Venata's chest, but due to the hardening effect, it only penetrated a small section.

At this moment, Altaïr's brass ring flashed again, activating his third ability!

The "Paradox Ring of Othinus" comes from a "judge" who failed to be promoted. The reason for his failure to be promoted is that the potion formula he obtained was not completely correct, and it was mixed with the main ingredient of the potion containing the "Black Emperor" pathway: crystals of Ghost Face marijuana.

After his death, the extraordinary properties and the ring he was wearing were mixed together to form this magical item with serious negative properties. The person wearing it cannot violate any rules in an area within an hour after using it. For example, even if the owner of the ring is running for his life, he must slow down according to the instructions of the police when he passes through the intersection. Users below Sequence 6 cannot even have other ideas about this forced lawfulness effect.

Now, Altaïr activated his third ability: the ability of the Briber, from the Black Emperor Path Sequence 7! The vase he had just smashed at the other party constituted a "gift" in the mystical sense, satisfying the conditions for "bribery". Venata's "Body of Steel" ability was weakened by "bribery"!

Altaïr exerted force with his right hand, and the Bloodletter pushed forward again, slamming Venata into the wall. The blade pierced through her body, and blood oozes from the corner of Venata's mouth. The honeycomb-like tissue on Venata's chest can be vaguely seen through the wound. Altaïr strode forward, trying to nail Venata to the wall.

But Venata was not pushed back as expected. Perhaps due to the influence of the fat on her chest, the sword had deviated during the second force after piercing her skin, and missed her heart by a hair's breadth.

The first decision she made in the chaos was to infuse a large amount of spirituality into the "Indulgent Rose Heart". At this time, the powerful regeneration ability of the "zombies" was fighting against the "corrosion" of the blade, and Vinata still had not lost her combat ability!
Venata reached out and grabbed the exposed half of the Bloodletter's blade to prevent Altaïr from turning the sword to enlarge the wound. Then, she punched Altaïr in the abdomen with a strong uppercut, causing him to fly backwards again and spit out a large mouthful of blood.

The characteristics of "zombies" also bring a certain degree of strength enhancement, and Vinata's own "hunter" path also increases strength far beyond Altaïr. The damage caused by this heavy punch is no less than Altaïr's straight stab.

The two fell to the ground, temporarily unable to move. Venata pulled out the blood drawer from her chest and threw it aside, then fell to the ground helplessly; while Altaïr struggled to move to the wall and confronted her across the living room.

Both sides were recovering their strength, however, Venata, who possessed the "Indulgent Rose Heart", was obviously recovering much faster than Altaïr. If this continued, the situation seemed to be very clear.

After a long while, Venata stood up shakily. The wound on her chest had completely healed, leaving a faint scar. She did not pick up the "Blood-taker" that had fallen to the side, because her current body was not suitable for bearing the negative effects of a magical item again.

So she staggered towards the temporarily incapacitated Altaïr, intending to strangle him, but Altaïr, having regained some strength, kicked Venata in the knee, causing her to fall to the ground and roll into a ball with him.

Venata rolled over and pressed on Altaïr and began to beat him, while Altaïr protected his head with both hands and found the right moment to grab her collar and pull it down, trying to make her hit the ground so that he could slip away from the side.

However, the sword just now overwhelmed the East District's low-quality clothes, which were torn apart by the pulling, leaving a gap for Vinata.

Venata immediately seized the opportunity and grabbed Altaïr's neck with both hands, while pressing forward to try to break Altaïr's neck with her weight; while Altaïr held her hands and held them in a stalemate. However, there was a gap in strength between the two sides, and it was not easy to pry Venata's hands apart.

There is no other way...Altaïr felt the little spiritual energy left in his body, hardened his heart, and his eyes flashed with dazzling lightning again!

"Interrogator", mental piercing!
