Demoness Battle Tactics

A gray-blue room on the first floor.

The empty hall was devoid of any furniture or decorations, except for an altar placed in the very center of the room. The altar was covered with various mysterious patterns, and in the very center stood a statue made of white bones.

The statue is about the height of an adult woman's arm. Its face is not detailed, but it can be seen that it is a beautiful woman. The statue's hair grows all the way to its ankles. The hair is thick and resembles snakes or Tentacle. Each hair ends in an eye. It looks dense and beautiful yet terrifying.

Three candles were lit around the statue, which were the only source of light illuminating the room.

At this moment, a woman with a round face and delicate features stood before the altar, devoutly chanting in a low voice. The warm candlelight shone on her face, making her look almost holy.

She Tris Trissy, the one who had served Madam Sharon before.

Beyond the woman and the altar, the empty first floor was filled with a torrent of resentment. Countless transparent figures wandered within, their faces bearing expressions of pain and hatred; some were male, some female, some large, some small. They circled the central Altar, screaming shrilly, Curse the woman within with the most venomous expressions, yet they could not approach the candlelit Altar, remaining trapped outside, unable to get close.

The beautiful Trissy completely ignored the Curse of the numerous ghosts, calmly carrying out the Ritual.

As she chanted, a faint glow emanated from the surface of the skeletal statue. This glow lingered on the statue, making the snakes with eyes seem to come alive and slowly writhe.

"Hu Yi-"

The wind howled, and along with the radiant light, the statue generated a powerful suction force. Invisible, transparent figures were drawn to the statue and irresistibly entered it. The room was instantly filled with a fierce wind, and the statue, like the eye of Storm, sucked in all the invisible figures in the room, followed by a series of extremely shrill screams.

The radiance on the statue's surface disappeared, and a bright red liquid seeped out, flowing down the snake's hair.

Trissy took out a bottle and carefully collected the liquid, eventually filling only about half a bottle.

After collecting the liquid, she seemed slightly relieved. Just then, the rough Silver Mirror beside her suddenly changed.

Its surface was covered with streaks of blood.

Trissy frowned as she looked in the Mirror, her expression darkening.

She first paid homage to the statue, ended the Ritual, picked up the small bottle containing the red liquid, and hid it in her bosom. Then she quickly stood up, pulled up her hood, and drew a gleaming dagger from her clothes.

After completing the simple preparations, Trissy instantly transformed from a beautiful woman into a dangerous Assassin. She smeared her face with her hand, blurring her features, then sprinkled a pinch of shimmering powder from her head. Accompanied by a low chanting incantation, her figure vanished completely, disappearing without a trace.

The invisible Assassin gripped the sword, silently moving to the window to launch an unexpected attack on the intruder.

Through the window, Trissy saw a handsome man in a black coat scaling the wall and cautiously approaching the house, carrying Revolver.

His emerald green eyes shone brightly in the dim moonlight.

Trissy flipped out of the open window; her body was as Feather Fall as a feather, and she landed without making a sound. The moment she touched the ground...

She rushed towards the intruder, gripping the dagger with both hands and gathering her strength.

As if to throw herself into his arms, Trissy pressed herself against him, thrusting her dagger with all her might.

"Kapim!"

What was puzzling was that she didn't feel any real penetration; instead, she heard a crisp sound like shattering glass.

Rewind a few dozen seconds, and we're outside the house.

"Don't go in yet. Let me try to pull the people inside into the Dream Infiltration."

Standing before the dilapidated Garden, Dunn spoke softly to the two men.

Once the two had stopped, he pressed his temples, bent over, and closed his eyes. An invisible wave emanated from his body, causing his coat to billow. A peaceful and tranquil power suddenly descended, silently passing through the walls and entering the room.

Before the Altar, the round-faced woman, who was preparing to retaliate, immediately closed her eyes and fell into Dream. In the dream, she had already prepared her counterattack, but in reality, she simply stood there, doing nothing.

The captain is really strong...

Watching Dunn's actions, Luther sincerely admired him. He had also seen the "Dream Infiltration" ability of Sequence 6 "Soul Assurer," and for some reason, he always felt that Dunn was no worse than the first-year Sequence in this ability.

As Dunn activated his ability, an invisible wave surged by the first-floor window, and the figure of a woman wearing a hood suddenly appeared.

She stood motionless with her eyes closed, as if lost in Dream.

She's Demoness!

She'd already reached the window!

Luther was slightly startled, but dared not utter a sound. He imitated Leonard, drew his Revolver, and aimed it at the woman in front of the window.

"Kapim!"

Like the crisp sound of shattering glass, Dunn's Dream shattered, and Trissy slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the several people who had appeared out of nowhere, a hint of confusion crossed her beautiful face, and her small mouth was slightly open, making her look extremely endearing.

But both Luther and Leonard pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Bang! Bang!"

Their Demon-Hunting Bullets fired one after another, striking Trissy in the head and chest. With a crisp sound, her figure flattened.

Ultimately, she transformed into a shattered Silver Mirror, and her own image vanished once more.

At the same time, Dunn opened his eyes. He immediately drew his Revolver and rushed toward the mansion.

"Follow me!"

Leonard called out to Luther.

Luther followed closely behind, becoming the third to rush into the lobby on the first floor.

He saw the Resentment of the Dead in the room, and the wandering figures of several deceased individuals. The woman stood before an altar, lifting something wrapped in a white cloth. Because it was already wrapped, he couldn't see what it was. But the moment he saw it, his ears twitched, and he heard again the woman's faint, alluring murmur.

Is this the thing that makes the sound?

Luther thought to himself.

Trissy looked at the three intruders, smiled slightly, and then disappeared again.

"Bang bang!"

Leonard's bullet struck the ground where she had just been standing, sending sparks flying across the floor. Seeing that Trissy was no longer there, Leonard's eyes quickly searched the room as he recited a peaceful poem.

"Ming Yiyi"

Just then, a cold wind seemed to howl through the room, and the several transparent figures that had been wandering around inside instantly became incredibly cold and sinister.

Shriek and pounced on the group.
