Mystery: Mr. Witch and Miss Hunter

Chapter 380 Mutual Design
Now it's going to be difficult...

Adele took a deep breath and focused on Cassian, the secret puppet in front of her.

Cassian's Sequence is not as high as Adele's, but his path is the "Sun" path that is quite restrained from the witch. Even if it is only the "Sun Priest" of Sequence Seven, Adele is quite difficult to deal with, and the pressure is even stronger than that of Soto. Stein was bigger when he was on.

It's no wonder, after all, Sotos' left arm was seriously injured. Once Adele was close to him, it was almost impossible to parry Adele's attack with one arm alone.

Although many of the Witch's moves are difficult to achieve decisive effects against the "Guardian" and "Druid" Extraordinary with thick skin and amazing defense power, but against the fortune-teller who has no defensive means , as long as he is stuck by the black fire, he can only hand over his own paper man substitute.

To put it simply, the damage of black fire, curse, and ice spear depends on who is targeted. With the stature of a fortune-teller, it is difficult to resist the witch's attack with his body, and the injury to his left arm has seriously affected Sotos. His balance ability made him look embarrassed.

But Cassian is different, the Black Flame can be washed away directly by his holy light, and the curse is the same.And the bright fire of the sun priest can not only burn objects with negative spirituality, but also has no difference from real fire in other attributes, and can even prevent Adele's ice pick.

Sothos took this opportunity to hide again... Maybe he is hiding in another corner waiting to manipulate my spiritual thread?
Adele began to quickly analyze the situation in her mind, and at the same time began to retreat to the center of the warehouse, trying to get to an open place as much as possible, and continued to confront Cassian.

Since he chose to approach me as a patrolman, it also shows that he has no reliable ability to hide himself, and even with illusion, it can only work for a while.As long as you carefully observe your surroundings and be careful not to let him sneak within ten meters of you, then you'll be fine!
Adele quickly made a judgment and began to concentrate on confronting Cassian. At the same time, she was wary of any disturbance within ten meters around her, and guarded against Sothos' sneak attack.

What the assassin path brought her was a talent for concealment rather than a simple invisibility ability, so Sotos tried to sneak into the battle circle between her and Cassian several times but failed, so he had to withdraw from the circle.

However, being distracted and paying attention to the movement within ten meters around her still affected Adele's combat ability. She couldn't take down Cassian for a while, but it also filled the secret puppet with many scars.

Since the secret puppet is always connected to the main body during the battle, when the secret puppet's instinct conflicts with the main body's opinion, the response will be slower.

In a battle with others, they may not be aware of this difference at all. Even if the opponent is aware of it, the secret puppet master can achieve complementarity through the cooperation of multiple secret puppets, preventing the opponent from having the opportunity to expand the results of the battle.

However, the seriously injured Sotos was so pressured by Adele that he didn't dare to show his face. He could only manipulate Cassian to barely resist Sequence Six's Adele, and the lack of Secret Puppet was immediately revealed.

It's just that in less than 2 minutes of fighting just now, Adele's Hidden Blade had cut through Cassian's throat and wrist, pierced his right chest, and almost cut off the bicep of his left arm. To be a real person would have died three or four times.

It seems that this secret puppet can only act like a living person, but its essence is that it no longer has the characteristics of being alive at all...

Adele adjusted her breathing, and after realizing that attacking the vital parts was not feasible, she began to try to attack Cassian's joints and muscles in the limbs, instead depriving him of his mobility.

This trick seems to be effective. Cassian has more parts to defend at once, which makes his parrying movements frantic. Finally, when he released a purification light in a panic to try to force Adele back, Adele Dale saw her chance.

While the beam of purifying light was gradually shrinking and dimming, Adele poured a lot of spirituality into the two transparent spider threads under her feet, making them as tough as real steel wires, and then pulling the steel wires, her whole body was almost The moment the beam of light completed its inward contraction, it arrived under Cassian's body.

The shining light of purification also blocked Cassian's own vision in the first place, preventing him from noticing Adele who was almost flying close to the ground in the first place.

And at this moment, Adele stomped on the ground and raised her hand to throw a fierce uppercut. Of course, she used the hand that ejected the Hidden Blade, and the sharp blade on it pierced almost unhindered. It went into Cassian's jaw and sliced ​​it off, blood splashing all over Adele's head and face.

This fatal injury made Cassian, who had become a secret puppet, listen to the movement for several seconds. At this moment, Adele ignored the blood on the opponent's body and directly stuffed the black fire in his palm into Cassian. bare head.

This time, Cassian didn't have the ability to use the holy light to extinguish the black flame. Under the stimulation of the flame, his remnant body writhed wildly, but he couldn't even use his extraordinary ability.

The ability of the secret puppet master also has a limit, the secret puppet just can't die, and it's not that it can't be broken.If the whole head had been cut off, maybe it could have been saved, but the front half of the head had been cut off.Even Secret Puppet should be damaged.

The black flames ignited ragingly in the warehouse again. Adele breathed a sigh of relief, checked the surroundings, and found that there were still no abnormal signs.

At this time, she suddenly saw a black figure flashing past the door of the warehouse, wearing a police uniform, with one arm drooping, but it did not affect his fast pace, and he ran nearly [-] meters in a blink of an eye, turning around Disappeared in the warehouse district.

Run, run away?
Adele's expression was a little dull. She really didn't expect that a strong man of Sequence Five would run away when facing the Witch of Pleasure who was only a Sequence Six, without the dignity of a strong man.

However, the complaints belong to the complaints, and Adele really has no intention of chasing after her.

In the fight just now, she discovered that although the Extraordinary of the Seer path is not very good in frontal combat, the ability to save life is simply countless, and there is hardly any forward movement, even Adele's face-to-face explosion The assassination can be avoided by the magician's paper doll stand-in to avoid the last jet of black fire, which shows how difficult these guys are.

Moreover, in the situation of fleeing and chasing, it is easy for the distance between the two to remain unchanged for a long time. It would be too bad if he was controlled by Sothos instead...

If you stop now, Sotos should regard me as a member of the Church of the Earth, and he will definitely act more cautiously, not daring to do anything to me casually...

Adele comforted herself in her heart.

——Besides, there are still five free Extraordinary features that can be collected, and I have already earned a lot... Lost a Sequence Six and a Sequence Seven secret puppet, why should Sothos fight himself?

Moreover, when the craftsmen of the church help her prepare the "travel" magical item, she can return to Port Indor, complete the pre-ceremony preparations with Venata, and be officially promoted to Sequence Five's Witch of Pain. By then Isn't it easy to beat Sotos?

Thinking of this, Adele relaxed her vigilance a little, and walked to Esdesh's broken body in the distance.

It has been a while since Esdeth died in battle, and the extraordinary characteristics of his body have long been precipitated. It is a brass-colored gear-shaped solid, shining with a metallic luster, and there seems to be an oil film-like coating on the surface.

It can be sold to Wendy, so that the Queen's Island Company also has its own "craftsman"... Adele thought with relief, as for how many years Wendy would be in debt for this, she didn't even think about it.

——Anyway, after being promoted to a craftsman, you will only make money faster, so you don’t have to lose many years, right?

The Extraordinary characteristics of the other Extraordinary people were also separated out. In addition to the "instigator" characteristic that Adele knew, there was a piece of scorched black, except for the volcanic rock that glowed red in the cracks. A gelatinous residue that is as blue as seawater.

I don't know what the sequence of the route is, I will go back to the military headquarters and do a detailed divination...

Adele nodded in satisfaction, walked to Cassian's side, and waited for the extraordinary characteristics of him to be revealed.

Santana's body fell not far from Cassian, and Adele wiped the blood from her hands on Santana's clothes and hat.

After a long wait, Adele finally saw a shining white ball gradually condensed on Cassian's body in front of her eyes, which was the extraordinary characteristic of "Sun Priest".

Just when Adele was about to reach out for the piece of Extraordinary characteristics, her vision suddenly blurred, her head went numb, and she felt like there was a thick piece of glass around her.

She found that her movements of reaching out began to become slow, and her thoughts gradually became stagnant, as if all the parts in her head were rusted.

She has experienced this feeling before. At that time, she was still in the East District. When she first obtained the pendulum and tried to divination the source of the pendulum, the angel "Mr. World" of the fortune teller path had an impact on him .

This is, Secret Puppetization... But, Sotos has obviously run away...

Adele was thinking hard, and at this moment, Santana, who was supposed to be a corpse in her eyes, slowly stood up. He was lying on the ground, but now Adele saw his face clearly:

The eyeballs that should have been pierced by mushrooms were still hanging intact; and the muscles on "Santana"'s face also began to wriggle and deform strangely, and finally turned into the face of Sothos.

Adele suddenly realized that she had neglected a very important thing.

Cassian's secret puppet was beaten like that by himself, and it can still be manipulated by the secret puppet master. Santana's wound is not serious, so why do you think he can no longer be controlled?
I'm afraid that Sotos had this idea from the beginning. After his disguise was seen through, he first went through a series of foreshadowings to make himself feel that he had already given up, and then voluntarily gave up a Sequence Seven marionette. The strong man cut off his wrist, When the secret puppet of Sequence Seven attracted his attention, his body secretly changed clothes with Santana's secret puppet.

The last one to run out was Santana's secret puppet. The effective range of the secret puppet controlled by the secret puppet master was more than 100 meters, which was enough for Santana to run out of Adele's sight.And the real Sotos was hiding next to Cassian's body, so Adele would stop and wait for Cassian's extraordinary characteristics to be revealed!
With a flash of thought, Adele immediately mobilized her spirituality and tried to use the magic wand substitute method to escape.

However, as her spirituality surged, the glass in her mind seemed to thicken again, making it impossible for her to use a substitute, a skill that required high spiritual control.

"It's useless, I've already completed the initial control." Sotos turned around slowly, the expression on his face distorted due to the pain and blood loss from his arm.

"I have to say that you are indeed the most difficult type of witches I have ever seen, but after all, you are just a 'happy witch', and there is an insurmountable high wall before the real Sequence Five."

From Adele's point of view, Sotos' actions break down into frame by frame.

It's not that the other party has become slower, but that her thinking has become more stagnant.

Adele still didn't give up, trying to counterattack Sothos with black fire, several fist-sized fireballs tremblingly formed at her fingertips.

However, Sotos raised his right hand and snapped his fingers. Those black fireballs disintegrated, lost the power to maintain their shape, and fell to the ground one after another. Under Sothos' control, those black fireballs could not even The burning of Adele's fingers was because she was afraid that Adele would forcefully break free of control by relying on pain.

Adele felt that her movements were getting slower and slower, and it was too late to make more movements.

But at this moment, Sotos found that the witch in front of him showed a smile of success.

Adele opened her mouth slowly, mouthing a word.Pointing to Sotos' body.

"mushroom"

"You want to lie to me again?" Sotos snorted coldly, instead of taking Adele's words seriously, he stepped up the speed of manipulating the thread of the spirit body.

The speed of his manipulation was so fast that his brain couldn't bear the load, and there was a slight tingling sensation, but Sotos knew that he could still hold on.

Finally, his manipulation succeeded, and Adele's resistance completely disappeared, and she stood there in a daze.

Sotos suppressed the excitement in his heart, and ordered Adele to make her recognize herself as the master, which was a way played by the puppet master.

Adele did come over as he said, and Sotos saw her dark pupils as black as ink, and saw his own reflection in her eyes.

His hat had already been pierced by the air roots of the mushrooms, and the huge cap was sewn on his head by the dense air roots, and the hallucinogenic tissue fluid was continuously being injected into Sotos' brain, causing his eyes to flood. White, foaming at the mouth, his body seemed to be stiffened into one piece, almost unable to move.

Adele's Hidden Blade touched Sotos' eyes, but Sotos had no stress response to the sharp blade in front of him: the mushroom had completely destroyed his brain nerves.

"How can an assassin not be able to tell if his target is really dead?"

Adele rubbed her drowsy head, "Your acting skills are really good, but it's a pity that you picked the wrong opponent."

After finishing speaking, the tip of the sword was pushed forward, and it went straight into Sothos' eye socket.
