Artemis was surprised , she didn't think that Alfonso would spread towards her, after all, he was a crippled man!

Although she was surprised ,her expression became colder.

"Mark of the hunter" murmured Artemis

After a while, points appear in all Alfonso's body, for this, Artemis could interpret that Alfonso was even below an average soldier, physically speaking.

Artemis waited for Alfonso to be near her and made a sidekick aiming to his injured leg!

"JA!"

However, before the kick reach the leg, something blocked it.

*Pa*

The cane intercepted the leg of Artemis.

"Wha-"

Before Artemis could end, a punch flew stray to her face.

*PU*

A bit of blood appeared in the face of Artemis while she got back two steps, for the impact, it was obvious that Alfonso didn't hold back at all!

"Impossible, this time reaction…."

Artemis was confused, she wasn't a master of close combat, however, she knew the basics, and she knew that Alfonso , in his condition, shouldn't be able to react this fast.

Alfonso go back some steps and stared at Artemis, his heart was beating like crazy.

"My assumption was right, this is the biggest flaw in the mark of the hunter!" Thought Alfonso.

"Mark of the hunter, Artemis signature ability, no matter what time is it, she will always use this ability, like the description says, she will be able to see the flaws on my movements and my body, that's why this ability is so scary, however... that's also the hole in her armor!" Thought Alfonso.

Mark of the hunter, the ability to see flaws, it was obvious that the human body have many flaws, however, some flaws are "deeper" than others. Artemis, who knows this, always attack at the "deeper" flaw, that's why this ability was lethal, because we usually don't know where our flaws are, however, this wasn't the case for Alfonso, he was more than clear were his flaws were, and he knew, that his biggest flaw was obviously his crippled leg!

"I know my own body the most thanks to the system" Thought Alfonso.

Artemis looked at Alfonso and then, the wings on her waist extended.

"Nice punch.

It won't happen again" Said Artemis.

After that her wings cover her for a sec before she disappeared in front of Alfonso!

"This!" Thought Alfonso

*PA*

A huge noise come from his side, Alfonso looked, he saw a white hand pressing on his ribs.

*CRUNCH*

A few crunching sound could be heard before Alfonso jumped to one side, however, the damaged was already done.

"AHHHHHH!" Shout Alfonso.

He could barely breath, however, he didn't stop moving he grabbed his cane and put himself on guard.

"The…. Recovery…..is working…." Thought Alfonso.

If he was the Alfonso before the horde, he would probably need to stay on bed for at least a month, however, now, he had his passive ability!

"Where is she…?"Alfonso tried his best to avoid thinking in the pain he was feeling from the side and started looking from Artemis, however, he knew that it was meaningless.

"Shadowless, what a disgusting ability" Thought Alfonso.

As he was marked with the mark of the hunter, he couldn't see Artemis.

"However, as her previous ability, it isn't flawless"

After thinking for a moment, Alfonso looked at the store in the system and saw what he was looking for.

After some time, a palm came from behind Alfonso, sending him one more time to the ground.

"Shit… my back!" Cursed Alfonso.

"Is that all? Then, I am utterly disappointed, Alfonso" Said Artemis, however, her silhouette didn't appear.

"Well, it is?..." Said Alfonso with a low voice.

"Hmph, then, you can just stay here." Said Artemis

After that, she run towards Alfonso and made a lethal kick aiming to his head!

However, After she lifted his right leg, she felt like she was losing balance.

"Eh?" Thought Artemis, then, she looked down, she saw the cane one more time, grabbing her ankle.

"Time for you to be on the ground!" Shout Alfonso before pulling the came towards him. Artemis, who had her leg lifted, suddenly fell to the ground from the loss of balance.

"Ahh!"

Artemis fell to the ground and hit her head, just as he was going to stand up, Alfonso jump and put his cane on her throat, however, Artemis didn't let him. She made a swift motion and grabbed the cane, however, just she grabbed the cane, Artemis felt a repulsive force coming from the cane!

"Shit!" Artemis cursed while letting go of the cane.

Alfonso didn't miss the opportunity and once again put the cane on her throat, this time, he put all the weight of his body on hers.

"Give up!" Shout Alfonso.

"Not yet" Answer Artemis,

Her wing suddenly move, she lifted a little bit of earth with it and throw it to Alfonso's eyes.

"Fuck, my eyes!" Alfonso grabbed his eyes, Artemis lifted her body and pushed Alfonso to the ground this time.

Alfonso tried to move, but he was unable to shake Artemis out.

"How?" Asked Artemis

"How what?"

"How did you know I was there?" Asked Artemis with curiosity.

"Oh that….. With this"

Alfonso took out a small empty bottle from his pocket, After Artemis saw it, she recognized it.

"The tear of Gaia?"

"That's right, although this tear is colorless, it had a kind of smell that is difficult to confused… If I had to say it in other words, I would say that is like perfume" Answer sincerely Alfonso.

When Artemis hid his ribs, Alfonso took out the bottle and throw it towards Artemis.

"…. As expected, you are quite the tactician"

"Thank you"

"If you were born in my epoch, every god would love to have you as their champion....even I " Said Artemis while looking straight to Alfonso.

"…. Unfortunately, you couldn't surpass the gods, is truly….. a shame" Said Artemis while making a small sigh.

"Oh? But I haven't given up yet" Said Alfonso.

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean…. This!..... go LITTLE BLUE!" Shout suddenly Alfonso

"CHIRP!"

Above his head, little blue suddenly appear, with its small claws it flew straight towards Artemis' eyes.

"Shit!" Artemis shouted, then instantly cover her eyes

Alfonso took this chance, he grabbed his cane and lifted with all his strength.

*PONG*

A loud sound came from Artemis's head as the cane impact towards it.

Artemis's vision blurred for a moment before falling to the ground.

Alfonso stood up slowly while grabbing his ribs. A small trace of blood could be seemed in Artemis's head. Alfonso kneel and watched Artemis who was grabbing her hurting head.

"I think….. I won this one…. Don't you think?" Asked Alfonso to Little blue who was floating at his side.

"Chirp~" Nodded Little Blue.

"That's...that's cheating!" Shouted Demeter, who has been watching the fight from afar.
