Chapter 239: Gains in Concealment Techniques, a Flustered Enri
On a street with heavily damaged paving stones.
The *Darkness* magic formed a special environment like a black mist, enveloping everything within a ten-meter radius of the battle's center.
The crowd gathered on the periphery, along with the numerous Adventurers who had rushed over, couldn't see what was happening inside at all.
This spell, which created an environment of darkness, even caused panic among many of the common people.
In the end!
The battle between the Green Leaf Witch and Tina had far surpassed the imagination of ordinary people, instilling a deep sense of fear.
"If the Green Leaf Witch doesn't have any other tricks up her sleeve, I'm afraid she's going to lose."
Tang Zheng spoke in a low voice. It was a terrible matchup. Due to the great distance, he could no longer ascertain the situation inside with his own senses alone.
Thinking of the skill he had just acquired, he formed a *Tiger* hand seal with one hand and held it before his chest.
"*Ninjutsu: Detect*."
"Mm, the mana cost of a third-tier spell."
Tang Zheng assessed the level of mana consumption as his vision and perception instantly sharpened.
In truth, he could activate ninjutsu without hand seals—the so-called "call it and it shall come"—but using ninjutsu without them always felt like something was missing.
It was like Entoma of the Maid Squad, whose Talisman Master class used talismans like the *Thunderbird Wild Dance Talisman* and *Shikigami Spider Talisman*.
It looked like she was activating paper talismans, but in reality, it was merely a form of expression, no different from magic.
*Swish!*
Within the darkness that obscured his vision, two figures about to collide came into Tang Zheng's sight.
It was much clearer than he had expected.
The Green Leaf Witch was covered in a white, flowing light, while the white sheen on Tina was somewhat weaker.
"This white sheen... is it the strength of one's life level?" Tang Zheng glanced at the crowd below the window. The white energy light on ordinary people was much fainter, just a thin layer.
Those with relatively stronger light were some of the Adventurers in the crowd. Judging by the intensity of the light, most of them were in the level 10-19 range.
Within the dense, fog-like darkness.
Tina used a sensory ninjutsu to confirm that the Green Leaf Witch, whom she had bound in place, had once again conjured the defensive magic, *Magic Armor*.
"No new tricks," Tina sneered.
The yellow boots on her feet flashed with a faint light. The ground suddenly trembled, and her already extremely fast speed increased by another notch.
*Whoosh!*
Tina, now a black shadow, arrived before the Green Leaf Witch in an instant. She threw her left hand forward:
"*Ninjutsu: Heavy Cut!*"
A ninja tool shaped like a shuriken was thrown, its surface coated in a layer of black energy.
*Thud!*
The shuriken slammed heavily in front of the Green Leaf Witch's face, letting out a dull hum as it was blocked by a layer of *Magic Armor*.
The mana on the surface of the *Magic Armor* vibrated, creating ripples.
It was blocked!
Seeing this, a smile actually appeared on Tina's lips. With a wave of her hand, she flicked her wrist: "*Ninjutsu: Star Shatter!*"
*Crack!*
The shuriken that had struck the *Magic Armor* heavily suddenly shattered, turning into fine iron filings that exploded against the armor's surface.
The double attack caused the mana on the *Magic Armor's* surface to dim considerably.
"It's over!"
Tina shouted, thrusting out the blood-streaked dagger in her hand. The sharp tip aimed straight for the spot where the shuriken had struck.
During their exchange, Tina had already deduced the defensive strength of the *Magic Armor* and its characteristics.
The blood-streaked dagger plunged in.
*Bang!*
The *Magic Armor* shattered.
An astonished Green Leaf Witch appeared before Tina.
I've won!
The thought flashed through Tina's mind, and she angled the tip of the blood-streaked dagger slightly downward.
She had no intention of killing her opponent; heavily injuring this demi-human would be enough. Otherwise, Blue Rose and Free Will would become complete enemies.
It wasn't that she was afraid, but she hadn't reported this covert action to her leader. There would inevitably be trouble once this was over.
"*Human Racial Charm!*"
A light grunt came from the Green Leaf Witch's chest.
"What?"
Tina's attack suddenly paused, but in the blink of an eye, the magic items she wore and her assassin's will forcibly broke through the mind control.
This demi-human could still cast magic under those circumstances?
Tina was equally shocked, but the movement of her hand didn't pause in the slightest. Instead, she stabbed forward even more ruthlessly.
While the White Mist Witch's covert assistance hadn't completely controlled Tina, it bought the Green Leaf Witch enough time to react. In a hoarse yet shrill voice, she shouted:
"*Wild Transformation!*"
Just as the blood-streaked dagger pierced her chest, Tina felt a powerful force from within that sent the dagger flying back.
Tina was stunned.
*BOOM!*
Outside, the large crowd of people, craning their necks on tiptoe as they looked with curiosity and fear toward the black mist-shrouded street, suddenly heard a beast-like roar.
Many of them were so frightened they fell right to the ground.
The *Darkness* magic was directly dispelled by the shockwave that erupted from the depths.
*Bang!*
Tina crossed her arms to protect her chest as her body was sent flying uncontrollably. She fell heavily to the ground, tumbling twice before steadying herself.
"*Pfft.*"
A mouthful of blood sprayed out.
Tina knelt on one knee, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, her face pale as she looked ahead.
At the spot where the Green Leaf Witch had been, a strange monster had appeared. It was about 150 centimeters tall, with the body of a chicken and the tail of a snake, its body covered in dense, hard, brownish-black feathers.
"A Chicken Snake!"
Some knowledgeable Adventurers in the crowd couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
A fearsome monster that lived in swamp environments. They usually lived in groups and not only possessed the ability of flight, but some powerful individuals also mastered a petrification ability similar to a Cockatrice.
The sudden appearance of a vicious monster!
It caused the onlookers to cry out in chaos and terror. However, the many Adventurers hidden in the crowd were much calmer, though their eyes were grave.
By the window.
Tang Zheng's slightly furrowed brow relaxed. "I thought she was going to lose. I didn't expect her to have already mastered the *Wild Transformation* ability."
"A Chicken Snake, huh? I remember wiping out quite a few when I first entered the Great Swamp. The first stage of *Wild Transformation* can't transform into a monster larger than one's own body."
"Otherwise, I have plenty of materials from powerful monsters right here."
He retracted his gaze.
