Well looks like she isn't backing down. I have to think what to do. My power grants me immunity towards her poison but still, i cant cover my entire body with it. The moment I do that Im screwed with another takeover. It seems as though not the only one strategizing either.

"*mumble*"

Shit, if only I could hear what she's saying. The fights still at a cold war type senerio.

"What's wrong, I though you weren't afraid to fight a god for your bounty" I stayed with my bluff.

"Shut it!!"

"You dare tell me to quiet mortal!!! I shall eradicate your existance for speaking to a god like that" I saw the fright in her eyes but she still wouldn't budge.

I slowly walked towards her, drawing my sword in the process. She began to walk back a little.

"A little more" I heared her whisper.

"Your mine!!"

Out from the top of the maze, one of her clones dropped dagger in hand and swung at me. I quickly dogged it and just back but felt the tip of her finger touch my left arm.

Aaaaaaahhh!!!

My arm started to feel a burning sensation followed by a pain my chest.

"I knew it, you were bluffing" she smirked.

"I knew you weren't a god, this swings everything back in my favor hahahahaaa!!"

In pain, I slowly looked up.

"Yea *heavy breathing*... But I also proved something"

"And what would that be?" smiling at me.

"... Your poison isn't all deadly" I flashed a smile back.

"What?! Look at your condition, do you honestly think that is true" she chuckled.

"Yea... Why aren't I dead yet then. I just need to make sure you don't land a full impact on me and I should be fine"

"Tsk, and how do you plan on escaping me and my clones"

"You'll see" I say boldly without a plan in mind.

Great Y/n, spitting out with idea in mind. I'll just keep on dodging until I can find a way to beat her.

I see 2 cards around her hip.

2 cards? Guess she likes to play poker or something.

"You want to play poker instead, winner lives"

"You idiot, these aren't for some stupid card game!!!" she seemed really angry at my remark.

"Then what are they for, a memory or something?"

"These cards are for my master, while I was going for your bounty, a man approached me and asked me to help save his family from some bad men. He offered me the cards in return"
Wow, guess she isn't all bad.

"But I just killed him and took the cards"

Aaaand you're evil again.

"This is a card that summons a mighty warrior from legends, and he offered me 2!!! but I'm not all bad. I did kill the bad guys after they killed his family. I took these as my reward and here I am now"

"That's a little fucked up"

"Doesn't matter, what I have to do now is make my master proud by killing you!!"

She rushed at me continuously throwing punches at me.

"What's wrong, I thought you had a plan" she laughed while trying to land a hand on me.

What do I do. I'm sting numb from my arm and I cant do anything other than dodge.

As I was dodging, another one of her clones jumped from behind me, ready landing a fatal blow. I was quick enough to dodge it but lost my balance causing me to start falling backwards.

"You're mine now!!!" she said driving her fist towards me.

Is this really it... Is this where I go out, Fuck!!! I can't, I still need to protect Koneko. How can I dodge this.

Use me

What!?

Use my power. You will gain unlimited strength, powerful to destroy the Great Red.

Great Red!? What!!!

Use it. Use my power.

... It's a great offer but no, not today. I got an idea.

I will wait until you summon me.

I'll try not to.

"Bounty here I co-"

I block her punch with a Kunai.

"Wha-Gaaah!!" I land another punch towards her gut before slicing her neck.

*poof*

"It was just a clone, that's going to be annoying"

"Well well it seems you really don't get poisoned through that arm. Tell me how are you able to move your arm even though it had been poisoned?"

"Because I used some of my power to cancel it's effects"

"Interesting, looks like we are about to have some fun"

I can only hold this form for so long before it runs out.

"Let's begin shall we" she jumps from the hedge.

"This better be real you"

"Trust me, it is, no more clones. You have impressed me with your ability to live through my poison. I haven't had fun like that in ages" she grins.

She swung at me but easily deflected it before nearly getting kicked in the gut. As I dodged that another punch was headed my way.

What the hell is this speed increase bullshit.

He speed had seemed to increase ten fold. I could have to focus all of my attention to dodging or I'll die but I'll die eventually if I don't attack since I'll run out of stamina.

Got to think of something quick.

"What's wrong, why so scared?! Attack me already!!!" she said grinning.

All I could do was dodge as I couldn't come up with an idea to counterattack her onslaught of attacks. An attack came from my right side. I block it with my kunai and head straight for a punch towards her gut, powering up with right arm with the cursed power. Her poison will be nullified by my power.

"Haa!!!" I landed the hit, taking her breathe right out her lungs.

"Gah!!" she stumbled back holding onto her stomach.

"I... I... Got you!!" she grinned again.

I felt a pain in the back of my neck and immediately fall to the ground in pain.

"Shit!!! What's with this pain?!"

"*heavy breathing* hehe... I managed... To lay a hand on your neck" she slowly began to walk towards me.

"I'll kill you now... And claim my reward for my master abd make him so proud" she had a evil smile.

"Hey, there's something your missing though?"

"And what might that be"

"Your cards"

She immidiately looks towards her waist.

"What?!" she instantly starts to panic.

"No no no Master Goetia will be disappointed... AAAAAHHH!!!"

Goetia? Never heard of him.

"Dont worry, I know where they are" bearly able to kneel.

"Where are they!!!" she sceamed towards me.

I bring my hand behind me.

"... Right here" I show her the 2 cards.

"Give them to me!!" she walked towards me in a fit of anger.

"We'll make a deal then" I say stopping her in her tracks.

"A deal? With you? In your condition? I could just kill you and take them"

"Are you sure about that?"

In an instant she was right in front of me and starts chocking me. Before she got my neck, I transfered as my off my power towards my neck to negate as my of her poison as I could.

"AAAAAHH!!" I still felt the burn going through to my neck. If I hadn't deployed my barrier I wouldn't be alive right now.

"What's wrong, burns a little" she continued to chock me. My body was completely numb, at any moment my organs could shut down from the amount of poison my body has taken. I saw my world fading until I saw someone coming from behind her. I used this opportunity to muster up any strength i had to land a kick to her gut and separate myself from her.

"That's all you g-AAAAAAAAHHH!!!" before she could finish her words, a shot of lightning came and struck her where she stood.

"Excuse me but I can't have you kill him or I'm going to have a very angry kitty on my hands"

"Akeno?!" Im so relieved to find her"

"Hi Y/n, you weren't invited to this rading game Miss, how did you get in?"

"My Master"

"And who might that be?"

"His name is Goetia"

"Never heard of him" she looked puzzled at the assassin.

"Doesn't matter because you're dying today" she rushed towards Akeno.

"Akeno, her skin's deadly don't let it touch you!!!" she smiled and looked at me.

"I know" she slowly lifted her hands in the air.

"Let the fun begin then"

The assassin stopped on her tracks.

"Oh no"

"AAAAAAAHHH!!!"
