"Bang-"

The bullet sliced through the side of the witch's face with black flames, burrowing into the damp dirt on the banks of the Tasok River.

It wasn't Angel who decided to spare her life temporarily, but an invisible pull dragged the witch sideways and flew away, and the huge force even made the witch's neck fold horizontally, with a mixed expression of panic and pain on her face.

Gossamer...... It's the "Witch of Pleasure"!

Looking at this familiar way of moving, Angel instantly remembered Mrs. Sharon before.

She swapped the empty bullet for the "thirsty blood" in her left hand, took out another revolver, and fired the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" in the bullet nest in succession, chasing the fast-moving witch who was getting farther and farther away from her.

Clouds of phosphorescent light exploded on the ground, and the white-colored figure was dragged by the shiny spider silk to continue moving, and the witch herself seemed to use "lightness", allowing herself to fly like a kite close to the ground.

At the end of the silk, another gradually revealing white outline also became clear.

"Captain, can you restrain them?"

Angel misses the "Phantom Phosphorus Eruption" and has no time to reload, so he has to shout out for his teammates to help.

"She holds the idol of the 'Primordial Witch', my 'Nightmare' abilities are almost ineffective against her, and another extraordinary, the 'Witch of Pleasure', seems to have found a way to deal with the eruption of phantom phosphorus......"

Behind him came Dunn Smith's tired voice.

As if to verify his words, the witch's dragged body merged with another figure, who hugged the witch's body and waved her arms, and the two of them quickly disappeared into the night, and even the phantom phosphorescent powder attached to the body was no longer visible.

At the last moment, the witch who escaped from her hands seemed to glance back at Angel.

"Bang-bang-"

Leonard stepped forward from Angel's other side, raised his pistol and fired several shots.

In the darkness of the night, firing at a target nearly a hundred meters away, the bullets had long since flown in which direction, as if to see off the two extraordinary people who had fled.

"Forget it, they are bent on escaping, and we can't stop them."

Angel suppressed his anxiety, shook his head, and comforted Leonard, who was holding the empty revolver.

"I thought you were the most anxious, your eyes were red just now, and you chased the witch to beat ...... like you didn't want to die."

Leonard said as he reloaded his pistol.

Do I have red eyes?

Angel subconsciously rubbed her eyes.

"Maybe I saw that white bone god statue when I used my spiritual vision just now......"

"Ahem......" Dunn interrupted the conversation with a cough, frowning in the direction of the two extraordinaires, and then shook his head as if giving up.

"I'm not in a good state tonight, I've made too many mistakes, I haven't been able to detect this witch approaching stealthily, the 'Nightmare' ability has also been cracked by her idol, and just now I let the 'Witch of Pleasure' escape from her hands......"

With a look of exhaustion and chagrin on his face, he turned his head to look at the worried Angel, pursed his lips, and said, "Go see Crane, and then ...... Tell us about your situation. ”

"Captain......

Leonard glared at Dunn in surprise, but closed his mouth under the latter's stern gaze and walked towards Crane who was still lying on the ground with a gloomy face.

Angel silently put the revolver and dagger back in place and followed behind Leonard, and Dunn, who walked last, landed on her body like a substance, leaving her skin tense behind her back.

By the time she decided to use the "magic pocket watch", Angel was ready to reveal her magical items.

If the passive ability of the "Thirst for Blood" enhanced bullet can still be fooled in the fierce battle, then the several extraordinary abilities that the "Magic Pocket Watch" has allowed her to obtain will never be hidden from the night watchers present.

Massive flashes of flames, eerie paper figure stand-ins, and life-saving damage transfers......

They had only fought the Order's tuxedo clown half a month ago, the Sequence 7 "magician", and were familiar with these abilities, and knew that an "assassin" should never have them.

But Klein was seriously injured...... Leonard and the captain are in a bitter battle......

At this time, she will definitely regret the casualties of the team in order to conceal her magical items.

————

"I've ...... Ahem, don't ...... It's okay. ”

With the help of several people, Crane was moved from the half-coagulated blood on the ground to the carriage and sat on the pedals under the driver's seat.

Dunn pulled out a thumb-sized sky-blue metal bottle, unscrewed the cap, and forced Crane to infuse him with a "goddess's gaze."

Leonard tugged at a small bundle of Crane's hair, and despite the latter's bared teeth and pained expression, he carefully wrapped his hair around the ritual knife, muttering something in his mouth, and stuck the knife straight into the middle of the pool of blood that Crane was outflowing.

After a mouthful of potions, Klein's face, which had become pale due to blood loss, quickly returned to its rosiness, and although the wound on his shoulder was still oozing blood, it was no longer too affected by emergency treatment.

"I almost thought I was going to ...... just now"

With his right hand, he stroked the missing part of his shirt on his chest, where the witch's dagger had pierced the ribs and stabbed him in the heart, the pain so severe that he nearly fainted, and then the blood that spurted red most of his white shirt.

But the area that was originally fatal is now as smooth as new skin.

"It's a bit like the trick 'Tuxedo Clown' used last time, but how did Ling do that?"

With a puzzled face, he looked at Angel, who was silent, at Dunn, who was holding his hands on his chest and his eyes were twinkling, and at Leonard, who was pursed and staring at Dunn with a gloomy face.

Why is this atmosphere a little wrong......

Even if Klein's brain was a little sluggish after blood loss, he also discovered the weirdness of the atmosphere on the field at this time.

Captain Dunn clasped his hands to his chest, which seemed to be a defensive, distrustful gesture in psychology, who was he warbing?

How is Leonard somewhat hostile to the captain? Or is it vigilance...... Did the two ever argue?

Angel lowered his head, as if studying the composition of the land on the banks of the Tasok River, staring at his feet motionless.

Looking at the silent three, Klein was about to open his mouth to break the awkward atmosphere, when the ceremonial knife that Leonard had inserted on the ground suddenly emitted a puff of black smoke, and the hair tied to it burned out of thin air and quickly burned into ashes.

The pool of blood was also centered on the knife, and it turned black in patches.

"That's the witch's 'curse', just now I used Crane's hair and blood as a stand-in to block her attack, otherwise with his now weak body, he would not be able to withstand such a curse."

Leonard looked away from the smoke-emitting ritual knife and said as he looked at Dunn.

"Captain, the two enemies just now are very powerful, a 'Witch of Pleasure' in Sequence 6, and a 'Witch' who can skillfully cast curses, if it weren't for Angel'......"

"I know, of course I do."

Dunn also spoke, his gaze swept over Leonard, who was arguing with reason, Klein, who didn't know what to say with his mouth open, and finally stopped at Angel, who had his head down.

"I'm such a person in your eyes, because the members of the team reported the matter to the Templar in order to win the battle, to save their companions and take out hidden magical items?"

"Except for the fact that I usually forget things, I don't think my image is so bad, right?"

The corners of his mouth were raised, and there was a smile in his eyes.

Leonard seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed.

"Klein, can you hold on a little longer?" Dunn turned his head to the only wounded man present, "Although the two Extraordinary Ones escaped, our main purpose is to disrupt the Curse Ritual, and if you can hold on, we will go to that house and check it out now, and if you need to go back to Zotland Street right away, let Old Neil replace you." ”

"I'm fine, it's just a little dizzy from blood loss, and I think I can still hold on."

Although Klein wanted to go back to his warm home and fall asleep, he gritted his teeth and persevered.

You can't just leave at this time......

Dunn nodded, looking at Angel, who hadn't spoken yet.

"What about you?"

“……”

Angel still had her head down, her body seemed to tremble, and she let out a soft whimper.

"What?"

Leonard leaned closer, trying to hear better.

“…… Trouble turning out the oil lamp on the carriage...... Aren't you afraid of a fire that will burn down the whole city of Tingen? ”
