Mystery: Starting from Meeting Amon

Chapter 28 Combat
Fortunately, Lewis had met Triss once before, and pretended to be a suitor and gave Triss a special amulet. If Triss was still wearing the silver ring, he should be able to locate her through the magical item.

After a simple ceremony, Lewis began to recite prayers.

“A magical item that belongs only to Lewis Harvey;
The key to the light hidden in spirituality;
The great power to rewrite the course of fate..."

As Lewis finished his prayer, he felt the faint threads of destiny extending from his astral body and connecting to the silver ring on his hand, one of which extended into the distance.

Trying to use his spirit to hold the non-existent thread, Lewis's spiritual power began to be rapidly depleted, and he quickly let go.

"I'm too far away from Triss, and the farther away I am, the more spiritual energy I need to locate her."

Lewis did not try to find Triss's location directly, but left the detective agency. He already knew roughly the direction where Triss was. As long as he looked in that direction, he should be able to find her.

After walking for a distance, Lewis saw the rushing Tussock River. In the sunlight, the river sparkled with golden luster, and the splashing water reflected a rainbow.

In a quiet two-story gray-blue house not far from the Tussock River, Lewis sensed an unprecedented sense of chilliness.

"This chilly feeling is not directed at my body, but at my spirit. Strictly speaking, it is a feeling of fear, which means that Triss is performing a ceremony nearby." Having come to a conclusion, Lewis silently recited a prayer.

As the prayer ended, he once again felt the elusive thread of fate, which extended to the two-story gray-blue house not far away.

Knowing the exact location, Lewis immediately stopped the ceremony. Every time he performed the ceremony, he consumed his own spirituality, and he still needed enough spirituality to stop Triss's evil god ritual.

Lewis was still a little scared when facing a Sequence 7. He approached the house cautiously, recalling the witch's ability as she passed by.

As one of the seven witches of Sequence 7, Triss possesses a variety of abilities, and each of them is very practical and good at combat.

Today, Triss is not only an assassin with super-powerful bursts of power, but also an instigator who can charm and mislead others, and a witch who is good at stealth and black magic.

……

In the blue two-story house, only a ray of sunlight shines into the bedroom through the curtains.

A young girl with a round face, elegant and sweet temperament was sitting in front of the dressing table, combing her black hair. Next to her left hand was a silver mirror with a rough surface. Suddenly, bloody marks appeared on the surface of the silver mirror.

Triss's face turned gloomy. She stood up, walked to the window and looked around until she saw a poor guy hunching his body and stepping carefully into the back garden.

Triss's gloomy face regained some calmness. She deliberately observed Lewis's movements. After confirming who was coming, she looked at the ring on her hand and licked her red lips.

He didn't expect Lewis to be an extraordinary person. It seems that this playboy who was looking for true love in a brothel was not completely useless.

But for her, Lewis is now a sacrifice delivered to her door. If she offers a supernatural being to God, then the God will definitely help her get revenge.

She walked quickly to the coat rack, took down a robe with a black cape, and tightened the belt, transforming herself into an assassin.

Approaching the house, Lewis silently prayed, holding the thread of fate in his hand so that he could activate the ring's power at any time.

Suddenly, Lewis felt the danger approaching quickly, and the thread of fate was trembling. Guessing that Triss came invisibly, Lewis quickly shouted out the words to activate the spell.

"destiny!"

As Lewis shouted, the spirituality of the silver ring shattered. He quickly took out his gun and fired three shots in the direction of the door.

Suddenly, bright red blood dripped in one direction, and not far from the blood, the sound of a mirror breaking was heard, followed by the broken mirror scattered all over the ground. The rough mirror surface could not even reflect the light.

Of the three shots just now, one broke Triss's mirror substitute, and one hit Triss's real body, causing her minor injuries.

"Destiny!" Lewis once again broke the spirituality of a silver ring on his hand, making himself extremely lucky.

He stepped back quickly and then rolled to the side. At the original position, a dagger suddenly appeared for a moment and then disappeared.

This made Lewis feel a little relieved. He shot away the broken and messy vines that were wrapped around his feet and retreated again.

Just as he dodged his original position, a gust of cold wind blew on Lewis, and the scene in Lewis's eyes flashed: as he took a step back to the right, a black shadow hit him, and then a dagger stretched out from nothingness after he was hit and stabbed his waist.

Seeing how things would develop in the future, Lewis chose to stay where he was. He fired a shot in the direction where the black shadow was coming from.

"boom!"

The sound of the empty gun made Lewis feel a little unhappy, but it was because of this shot that the black shadow that was supposed to miss the target stopped in mid-air, and a delicate, bright red flower that came from nowhere appeared in the void.

Lewis remained calm at all times. He knew clearly that the flower was the medium used by Triss to curse, but when Triss herself suffered extreme misfortune and he had extremely good luck, this medium suddenly stabbed Triss herself.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Triss exposed her position, Lewis shot again. This time, a flower of blood sprayed out of nothingness, and Triss's screams echoed in the empty garden.

"Mr. Lewis, please don't shoot." Triss's figure finally appeared. Her face was pale and her hair was messy. Her extremely beautiful face made people unconsciously want to protect her.

Lewis hesitated for a moment, and he began to hesitate.

Knowing that this was one of the instigator's abilities, Lewis forced himself to calm down and used the characteristics of the machine to change his inner hesitation. His finger moved heavily and slowly towards the trigger.

The fate spell only lasted for five minutes. Facing a Sequence Seven expert at assassination, if he hesitated even a little, he would most likely lose his life. This was not a battle against Amon's clone. At that time, Amon was holding back and the Goddess of Night was watching him.

Finally, Lewis's fingers paused in mid-air, and he saw Triss's figure disappear as if being erased piece by piece by an eraser.

Sensing something was wrong, Lewis quickly threw the pistol up, caught it with his other hand, and fired it behind him. From the sound, there was no doubt that he had missed.

In the open space, a girl in a black tights walked out from nothingness. Sera smiled slightly and pulled the silk thread wrapped around Lewis's right wrist. The silk thread seemed to be connected to Lewis's spirituality.
