On the street with severely damaged stone slabs.
The 'Darkness' magic, forming a special environment like a black mist, enveloped everything within a ten-meter radius, centered on the battle.
The surrounding crowd and the many adventurers who rushed over couldn't see what was happening inside at all.
This magic that creates a dark environment even caused panic among many ordinary people.
In the end!
The battle between the Verdant Witch and Tina had far exceeded ordinary people's imagination, inspiring deep fear.
"If the Verdant Witch doesn't have other tricks, she's likely to lose."
Minori said in a low voice, the compatibility between the two was too poor. Due to the distance, he couldn't determine the situation inside with his own senses alone.
Thinking of the newly acquired skill, he formed a "Tiger" hand seal with one hand and placed it in front of his chest.
"Ninjutsu · Detection."
"Hmm, the magic consumption of a third-tier spell."
Minori judged the level of magic consumption, and his vision and perception instantly increased.
In fact, he could activate ninjutsu without forming hand seals. It's just that using ninjutsu without hand seals always felt like something was missing.
Like the insect girl in the maid group, whose Summoner class used "Thunderbird Dance Talisman", "Spider Talisman", and other talisman techniques.
It looked like she was activating talisman papers one by one, but in reality, it was just a simple form of expression, no different from magic.
Whoosh!
In the darkness where the vision was unclear, two figures about to collide came into Minori's view.
It was much clearer than expected.
The Verdant Witch had a white, flowing light around her, while the white light on Tina was weaker.
"The white light, is that the intensity of the life level?" Minori glanced at the onlookers below the window. The white energy light on ordinary people was even weaker, only a thin layer.
The ones with stronger light were some adventurers in the crowd, judging from the intensity of the light, mostly in the 10's level range.
In the dense, mist-like darkness.
Tina used perception ninjutsu to confirm that the Verdant Witch, bound in place by her, was once again displaying the "Magic Armor" defensive spell.
"No innovative methods," Tina sneered.
The yellow boots on her feet flashed with a faint light, the ground suddenly shook, and her already fast speed increased again.
Whoosh!
Tina transformed into a black shadow and instantly arrived in front of the Verdant Witch, throwing her left hand forward:
"Ninjutsu · Heavy Cut!"
A shuriken-like ninja tool was thrown out, the surface of the weapon wrapped in a layer of black energy.
Thud!
The shuriken weapon heavily bombarded the front of the Verdant Witch's face, making a muffled hum, and was blocked by the middle layer of magic armor.
The magic light on the surface of the magic armor vibrated, forming ripples.
Blocked it!
Seeing this, Tina instead revealed a smile and waved her hand: "Ninjutsu · Star Shatter!"
Crack!
The shuriken weapon, heavily striking the magic armor, suddenly shattered, turning into tiny, fragmented iron filings that exploded on the surface of the magic armor.
The double attack caused the magic light on the surface of the magic armor to dim a lot at once.
"It's over!"
Tina whispered, the blood silk dagger in her hand swiftly stabbed out, the sharp tip piercing straight at the position where the shuriken weapon had attacked earlier.
In the previous exchanges between the two, Tina had already deduced the defensive strength and characteristics of the magic armor.
The blood silk dagger pierced in.
Bang!
The magic armor shattered.
The astonished Verdant Witch appeared in front of Tina.
Won!
The thought flashed through Tina's mind, the tip of the blood silk dagger slightly downward.
She didn't intend to kill the other party, just seriously injure this demi-human, otherwise "Blue Rose" and "Free Will" would be completely hostile.
It wasn't that she was afraid, but her secret actions hadn't been reported to the team leader, and this matter would inevitably cause some trouble after it ended.
"Charm!"
A soft hum came from the Verdant Witch's chest.
"What?"
Tina's attack suddenly stopped, but in the blink of an eye, the magic items on her body and the assassin's will forcibly broke through the mental control.
This demi-human was actually able to cast magic in the situation just now?
Tina was also a little shocked, but the movement in her hand not only didn't stop at all, but instead stabbed more fiercely.
The Mist Witch's secret assistance, although it didn't completely control Tina, made the Verdant Witch react, and she hoarsely and loudly whispered:
"Wild Transformation!"
Just as the blood silk dagger pierced into her chest, Tina felt a strong force from the inside out, rebounding the dagger.
Tina was stunned.
Rumble!
Outside, a large number of people, tiptoeing and craning their necks, curiously and fearfully looked towards the street shrouded in black mist, when suddenly they heard a beast-like roar.
Many people were so frightened that they fell directly to the ground.
The "Darkness" magic was directly dispelled by the force erupting from the depths.
Bang!
Tina crossed her arms to protect her chest, her body uncontrollably blasted out, heavily falling to the ground, and only stabilized her body after tumbling twice.
"Puff."
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Tina knelt on one knee, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, her face a little pale as she looked forward.
There, at the position where the Verdant Witch had been, appeared a strange monster about 150 centimeters tall, with a chicken body and snake tail, and dense, hard, brownish-black feathers on its body.
"Cockatrice!"
Some knowledgeable adventurers in the crowd couldn't help but exclaim.
A terrifying monster that exists in wetland environments, usually living in groups, not only possessing the ability to fly, but some powerful individuals also mastering petrification abilities similar to basilisks.
A suddenly appearing ferocious monster!
Caused the onlookers to shout in chaos and panic, but the many adventurers hidden in the crowd were much more calm, although each of them also had solemn expressions.
Next to the window.
Minori's slightly furrowed brow relaxed: "I thought she was going to lose, but I didn't expect she had already mastered the ability of 'Wild Transformation'."
"Cockatrice, huh? I remember eliminating quite a few when I first entered the Great Wetland. The first stage of 'Wild Transformation' can't transform into monsters that exceed one's own body size."
"Otherwise, I have quite a few powerful monster materials here."
He withdrew his gaze.
There was no need to watch the next battle, because the outcome had already been decided.
The ability of "Ninjutsu · Detection" still existed.
Minori used this detection ability to perceive himself.
The next moment.
A strong white light appeared in front of him, like a flashbang, causing Minori's pupils to subconsciously contract.
Buzz——
The effect of "Ninjutsu · Detection" dissipated.
"Sure enough, normal detection methods can sense a certain level of my current strength."
Blinded by himself, Minori felt a bit dumbfounded and couldn't help himself reach out and rub the corner of his eye.
This was the situation he had been worried about.
As his level increased, if someone used perception methods on him, his true strength might be exposed.
After pondering for a moment,
Minori mobilized the passive ability of the [Ninja] class "Aura Concealment Specialization", and, as if self-taught, began to restrain his aura in a way that was both unfamiliar and familiar.
"Ninjutsu · Detection!"
He activated the ninjutsu ability again and observed himself. Under the skill of restraining his aura, the originally strong white light had dissipated a lot.
Minori then suppressed it again based on the intensity of the light on the Verdant Witch, showing only a slightly stronger degree.
"An unexpected gain. These passive abilities can't be completely regarded as simple information in the introduction."
Minori raised his arm and clenched his fist, feeling the aura suppressed by himself, his eyes slightly bright.
Of course!
This was ultimately just a means of suppressing his own aura. As long as Minori didn't go all out, his true aura wouldn't be exposed.
Avoiding some normal magic detection, other class's aura perception, detection, and other methods were no problem.
But it was impossible to hide from the top-level detection magic "Life Essence" and "Magic Essence" without using specialized counter-intelligence tactics, "False Information (Life)" and "False Information (Magic)".
Outside the window.
Tina was kneeling on the ground, most of her body gradually petrified, unable to move.
In the final collision, Tina had obviously suffered a great loss.
"Plant Entanglement!"
Whoosh!
Vines broke through the stone slabs on the ground, binding and restraining Tina.
"Making such a big commotion, there will be a lot of trouble to deal with next. The damaged ground and the shops around that were affected and damaged will probably have to be compensated."
"Headache."
Minori looked down at the crowd, at the many guards who had come because of the huge commotion but dared not come forward, and softly said:
"For the sake of obtaining a new profession, let's just let this reckless behavior go."
He raised his eyes,
The attribute panel appeared before his eyes.
Minori ignored the few ninjutsu that Tina had just used after only glancing at them.
He didn't lack attack methods at the moment. Among the ninjutsu, Minori was only really interested in four.
"Ninjutsu · Detection"
"Ninjutsu · Immobile Binding Technique"
"Ninjutsu · Immobile Adamantine Shield"
"Ninjutsu · Shadow Clone Technique".
These ninjutsu could all increase in strength based on the consumption of magic power.
Especially "Ninjutsu · Detection", which could increase the detection ability by consuming more magic power, was perfect for Minori, who lacked detection methods and didn't want to waste skill points learning various tiered detection magic.
The only thing that surprised Minori a little.
Was that the Shadow Clone Technique was actually a [Ninja] class skill.
Thinking about it carefully, this ninjutsu was indeed quite powerful, after all, it could perfectly inherit the user's "Agility" and "Magic Power".
In a normal rogue-type class build, this skill was at most an excellent auxiliary means, but in Minori's hands, it was a low-profile version of "Heroic Spirit Soul".
Ninja-type class builds could only use physical attacks and ninjutsu skills, but Minori could use all kinds of magic.
Rumble～
The cockatrice monster's body squirmed, the clearly visible brownish-black feathers shrinking into its body at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The figure of the Verdant Witch re-condensed and appeared before everyone's eyes. It wasn't until this moment that most people understood that the monster that had suddenly appeared was actually transformed from the Verdant Witch.
"She actually won?"
"It's faith-based 'Wild Transformation', quite a rare magic."
"Hey, hey, now is not the time to focus on this. Isn't that one of the two women in 'Blue Rose' who have trained in rogue techniques?"
"She actually lost to that green-haired girl. Who is this one?"
The onlookers exclaimed in surprise. "Blue Rose" had a very high reputation throughout the royal capital, not only because it was an adventurer team composed entirely of women.
But also because this team had reached the "Mithril" level in a very short period of time, only one step away from the top "Adamantite" level adventurers.
Of course.
Its leader, Gagaran identity and unique beauty, were equally well-known.
"That magic caster in 'Free Will' is stronger than I imagined."
"'Free Will'? Is that the member of the black-haired genius alchemist?"
"That's right, no wonder they were able to eliminate the notorious and powerful mercenary group 'Death Spreading Brigade'.
'."
"Isn't that blond-haired woman hiding in the back, wearing old-fashioned clothes, also a member of 'Free Will'? She looks very ordinary."
"Not very ordinary, just an ordinary person. To be valued by that genius alchemist, and she doesn't even look good."
"Hehe, I heard that alchemists have always had strange tempers. Maybe she has some comfortable techniques."
"..."
A series of stunned, shocked, and other varied discussions rang out from the crowd in all directions.
Enri's face was a little pale when she heard the discussions coming from the crowd behind her, and the fingers holding her clothes tightened even more.
The sights and sounds of the past few days had allowed Enri to see the prosperity and vastness of the royal capital, which far exceeded all her previous imagination and subverted many of her understandings.
A magic item could actually sell for hundreds of gold coins, or even thousands of gold coins. Their village would probably only earn that much in decades, or even centuries.
She originally thought that the alchemy potion sold by Captain for ten gold coins was already too expensive.
There were also all kinds of expensive foods, pastries she had never heard of, and a dazzling array of various things.
Everything.
Made Enri feel completely out of place here. She was too ordinary, neither having the powerful strength of Miss Verdant nor knowing anything.
The only thing she could do was try her best to do some small things.
Especially now.
Faced with the gazes and onlookers, and with Miss Verdant's cold and arrogant personality, Enri was really at a loss.
"Hmph."
The Verdant Witch snorted coldly, raised her foot and walked towards Tina, who was bound by vines and half petrified.
Although she didn't know why the master in the dark had asked her to fight this human, she was relieved that she hadn't lost to the other party.
Fortunately, her sister helped, otherwise she would have lost just now.
