Mystery: I, the Hermit, am too eager to improve

Chapter 74 The Pleasure Witch on the Spider Web

Roy remained on the roof, not daring to approach rashly.

Although he possessed the Ring of Concealment, which in a sense meant he didn't have to worry about being discovered, Mrs. Sharon, a member of the Assassin's Path, was also an expert in concealment and assassination.

She said there might be no special identification techniques.

and so.

It's better to stay on this rooftop; the location is far enough away that it won't be easily spotted. If a battle breaks out over there later, we can glide over directly to provide support.

It would be best if no battle took place.

This is the aristocratic street.

If unrest really occurs, public opinion will be negative.

of course.

It's mostly the Night Watchers' business; the East District is under their jurisdiction, and it has nothing to do with the Mechanical Heart.

After a short while, the curtains were drawn back, and Klein stood by the window. He then turned around and spoke to the people inside, while Roy took out his binoculars to observe carefully.

I haven't seen Mrs. Sharon yet.

The person in the same room as Klein should be Cohen Lee. Dunn wasn't there, or perhaps he was in a position where he couldn't see him.

Roy was nestled up there.

After a moment, suddenly—

boom!

An explosion occurred below, and Roy sat up abruptly, grabbing his binoculars.

Flames erupted from the back of the room, rapidly spreading outwards. According to the usual decorating style, that area should be where the kitchen is located.

Mrs. Sharon detonated the gas pipes!

Roy made a judgment immediately.

He instantly stood up, assuming a fighting stance.

Below, Cohen and Klein immediately disappeared from the window.

Before long, a figure leaped to the left, moving nimbly between various terrains, conjuring black flames in her hands that shot back with the elegance and lethality of bullets.

Roy glided down immediately

He couldn't adapt at first.

but.

Once he truly used his ability, his spirituality extended to the shoes beneath his feet. The feeling was amazing. Roy felt like a falcon, belonging to the sky.

……

As Mrs. Sharon fled, she shot flames at Dunn while verbally attacking him: "If I hadn't brought a special item with me today, you might have quietly hypnotized me with your abilities next door."

"You can't escape."

Dunn said.

Mrs. Sharon smiled slightly and continued to flee.

Just then, Dunn was about to give chase when a shout came from behind.

"Captain, watch out!"

Klein arrived.

After advancing to Sequence 8, his physique and speed were greatly enhanced. Coupled with his continuous use of magic and tracking, he was faster than Cohen and caught up with them first.

He was behind, and from afar, he saw threads through his spiritual vision.

These threads represent the opponent's capabilities!

He guessed, and then immediately shouted a warning.

Dunn stopped in time, not being controlled, but at this moment, Mrs. Sharon flicked her finger, and strands of spider silk surrounded her.

The trap is closing in!

In an instant, seven black flames appeared around her.

Black flames swirled and transformed into deadly bullets, flying toward Dunn.

Her target is Dunn!

Klein understood the reasons behind the other party's choice.

He is only sequence 8.

Facing a Sequence 7 or even a Sequence 6 Extraordinary, the difference in strength between the two sides is very obvious. If Mrs. Sharon kills Dunn, she can easily kill the remaining Klein and Cohen.

Direct combat capability...

The fog is not very helpful.

Klein knew this all too well.

We must protect the captain!

He reached for the bronze whistle, but remembering Dunn was ahead, he put it back and picked up another talisman instead.

Sleeping Charm!

Just as he was about to throw it, Dunn struggled desperately to avoid a flame while reciting poetry.

Poetry and prose?

Yup!

Besides being a nightmare, the captain was also once an excellent midnight poet.

So.

What I need to do is not to rescue the captain, but to delay Mrs. Sharon.

Klein's thoughts cleared.

He raised his demon hunter pistol and fired two shots at Mrs. Sharon, but she quickly retreated and disappeared under the shade of a tree, suddenly increasing her speed to dodge the bullets.

What incredible speed!

Klein's eyes narrowed.

really.

The other person was likely like Triss, rising from an assassin and instigator to eventually become a woman.

That's a crazy approach!

Klein tossed a talisman into his hand and said in a low voice in Ancient Hermes, "Crimson!"

however.

Before the slumbering spell could take effect, a ball of flame suddenly shot out from behind Mrs. Sharon and struck the spell that was about to explode.

The spell has failed!

All around, silk threads wove in the darkness, and Mrs. Sharon raised her hand, and ice spears appeared one by one, striking at Dunn, who was trapped in the silk net and chanting.

but.

The next moment, Dunn's eyes dimmed, and his spirituality erupted.

In that instant of eye contact, Mrs. Sharon felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her—

Pulling people into a dream!

The chanting just now was merely a cover; his true purpose was to conceal his extraordinary ability to pull people into dreams. Klein's performance had effectively drawn the other party's attention, preventing Mrs. Sharon from recognizing his true intentions.

Klein quickly raised his hand and fired two shots at Mrs. Sharon's heart.

however.

The next moment, Klein's eyes narrowed, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

Mrs. Sharon was not fully asleep!

No.

To be precise, she recovered very quickly and actually escaped the dream in no time.

In the instant she was separated, Mrs. Sharon smiled slightly. The next moment, her body shattered and eventually turned into a tree branch-like object.

Is this some kind of substitution technique?

Where did she go?

Klein broke out in a cold sweat as he saw through his spiritual vision that threads were wrapped around Dunn.

The spiderwebs that had been laid out in advance actively surrounded them.

He quickly moved closer to Dunn, but he couldn't keep up. Just as Dunn broke free of some of the threads, new threads surrounded him and bound him again.

Left with no other choice, Klein threw the Demon Hunter pistol.

when!

A dagger burning with black flames pierced the air, but was deflected by a thrown pistol, missing Dunn's vitals by a fraction of an inch.

Using the burning dagger, Dunn's silk threads were burned and cut in part.

Dunn quickly broke free.

The flesh on his left arm was rotting and burning. As Dunn ran, he used the silver dagger at his waist to cut away the rotting flesh, but at that moment, Mrs. Sharon conjured a long spear of frost in her hand.

call out!

The frost spear emitted a sharp whistling sound.

Dunn struggled to roll away, but then, his foot suddenly twisted—

There happened to be some loose soil beneath his feet, and the looseness of the stone caused him to lose his footing.

The next moment, Mrs. Sharon's eyes lit up, and she flicked her finger, throwing out several black flames.

opportunity!

Four flames shot towards Dunn, while three others attacked Klein, preventing him from providing assistance.

Klein hurriedly dodged, his mind racing with thoughts—

That man actually tried to kill Captain Dunn!

The coincidence of "just right" is too obvious.

but.

How can I help the captain?

Klein gritted his teeth and charged forward, taking off his clothes and throwing them directly at the fireball, but the clothes were quickly burned by the black flames.

He ducked to avoid the flames, but even if he could dodge, Dunn, with his sprained ankle, couldn't do anything about it.

Just when I was extremely anxious.

The long, icy spear flew up, spinning in the air to block two black flames, and then the stone on the ground flew up to block another fireball.

But the witch's fire was so destructive that a single stone could not withstand it.

but.

Dunn dodged in time; one of the fireballs grazed past his twisted ankle, while the other turned into tiny sparks, some of which landed on him.

who is it?

Klein was extremely surprised.

but.

The next moment, Mrs. Sharon climbed over the wall and left.

He didn't have time to pursue him; he rushed to Dunn's side and helped him scrape away the flesh and blood clinging to the flames.
