That's more like it. The Spider Queen was coming at her for real now, anyone else would have been lost in the swings and overwhelming speed of the vampire clad in blue but The Blind Assassin was able to hold her own against it, parrying the swipes of the daggers with her blade before jumping overhead. Fukari would freeze in the air but only momentarily before falling down, the heel of her right foot leading the way for Maricul's skull. During all of this a silver blessed spike came out of the heel of the shoe looking to penetrate the vampire's skull. The blessing on the spike would cause intensive burning.
A literal mindfuck.

All this time Maricul was focused on her footwork, about to have blind faith in the gods of luck as she led the opposing force on. As Fukari jumped up Maricul would rolled far to the left and once The Blind Assassin came down, Maricul faith would reward her as Fukari would find she had set off one of her own mines. A molten explosion of silver clouded the horizon.

No escape, only a head on collision into her own mine. The explosion penetrated every vulnerability both her human and demon halves possessed. The Blind Assassin had to bite her lip to keep from crying out in pain. Karma smiled on The Serpent this day. Not for long. A Sonic Grenade would land near the foot of Maricul and go off, threatening to temporarily, if not permanently, deafen the Nosferatu with it high frequency sound. Once the silver cloud cleared Fukari was gone from her spot and nowhere in sight.

Maricul grasped her ears hard, she felt like her head was going to explode in this moment as she screamed in pain again, being brought down to her knees for the second time in this confrontation. The attack would end soon though, however Maricul went def in both ears, unable to hear anything around her but her sight, smell and other senses were still good. Getting back up to her feet she looked around, not seeing that damn half breed anywhere.
"Where are you!?"
She couldn't have gone far. Maricul used her enhanced sense of sight and smell to track the location of the half breed as the 9mm Bloodlust was now drawn from her trench coat's pocket.
"WHERE ARE YOU?!"

Fukari had blended in with her surroundings. After all an assassin best weapon were their environment. While Maricul scouted the area for her scent she would pick up something else coming along in the distance. A small Abyss force closing in on her position. They were lured to the area by the explosions and Sonic Grenade of Fukari and with The Blind Assassin hidden in the darkness the only thing they saw was the Nosferatu. They charged Maricul with their spears at the ready.

Maricul's eyes fixed on the Abyss Task Force making their way on the scene. Still unable to hear anything she stood there in awe, not believing what has just happened yet she should have seen this coming a mile away.
"She... she set me up!"
All that noise. That woman wanted the Abyss to find them, to attack because once they did she was going to pull this and leave Maricul to fend for herself. Using Abyss like pawns in her own game. There was more to this Assassin than what met the eye. Much more. This would no doubt give Maricul's opponent time to recover from the last mine that went off and The Serpent didn't want to give her that time.
Shots from the 9mm Bloodlust fired on the Abyss, they spread out but one would fall to the Bloodlust's firepower but the rest would continue on their attack against the vampiress. The Serpent jumped forward, over the Abyss grunts and ran following the scent of The Blind Assassin who were still in the area. Maricul unloaded more shots from the 9mm in her direction while leading the Abyss onslaught straight to her.

Bitch ran right into a claymore mine.
The explosion would be enough to knock Maricul back into the Abyss where their spears were waiting to impale her and they wished to tear her apart. Being busy with their efforts they wouldn't notice the 9mm Bloodlust bullets which were cut in half by the Katana from Fukari's hidden position. The Blind Assassin grabbed one of the bullets halves and ran her fingers over it, seeing now how the gun was made and how it operated through her demon power of touch. The bullets being able to tear it way through your body from front to back and if used the right way it could be very deadly. That and the blessing on the bullets being strong enough to cause irritation to even the strongest of foes who were vulnerable to blessings.
How useful.

Maricul made the regrettable mistake of forgetting about the mines surrounding the field. The Serpent would have no time to mentally scold herself as she was blown back and impaled on the spears of the Abyss grunts and then thrown to the ground. It was quite the sight to behold for an observer as they literally tore her limb from limb but as it looked like all was lost, Maricul's body fell apart into little tiny spiders. Spiders that crawled up the Abyss grunts, small enough to enter their mouths, go up their nostrils and enter their ears. The Abyss soldiers began to shake until finally their bodies fell apart and all that remained were the spiders.
The spiders began to climb each other, forming a body as legs grew and then arms, finally the spiders took form and Maricul returned in the flesh. The blood of the dead Abyss grunts absorbed into her body and gave her another boost of strength as her eyes flashed crimson red. The 9mm Bloodlust aimed at where Maricul could sense The Blind Assassin was standing, right between the eyes which were covered by bandages.
"Bang."
Charging her energy into the Bloodlust she fired, the bullet cut through the air and headed for Fukari, should The Blind Assassin try to intercept the bullet in some way it would change trajectory instantly thanks to the power Maricul flooded into the pistol.

Fukari could hear the Abyss grunts tearing the woman apart and a sneer grew on her facial features. It was one thing to kill someone, it was another to use warriors from a powerful army as pawns without them knowing it during. Suddenly the tables began to turn as she heard Maricul's body break up into spiders. Well now she knew why they called her the "Spider Queen." The Blind Assassin didn't move from her spot as the vampire clad in blue managed to successfully kill the Abyss troops and take form again, firing yet another 9mm in her direction. Fukari could hear the bullet soaring through the air and quickly reacted by swinging the Katana and then the bullet changed trajectory catching the Assassin off guard.
"What?"
The bullet flew around and then back to The Blind Assassin looking to rip through her back and out the front but she resheathed her Katana, unsheathed and then resheathed again in a matter of nanoseconds. An upper slash erupted in the bullet's new trajectory, this one too sudden for the bullet to have time to change course as it fell to the ground, defeated. Getting another sniff of Maricul and realizing where the vampire was standing she knew she had The Serpent in her clenches. Fukari reached into her jacket and pulled out a detonator.
"Check."
With a simple click the mines planted around Maricul's position went off, each one carrying the materials to send the vampire back to her grave. From all around The Serpent and up above came hell in the form of silver.

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. No time to even think, it would be instinct and her powers that would kick in to defend her against the impending doom approaching every angle. Maricul bent down, arms over her head as the Spider Familiars went to work from inside her, quickly creating a dome over her position made entirely of webbing, surprisingly powerful enough to shield her from the in-coming attack. Her life would not be taken on this day.
After the attack had ended the smoke from the blasts began to drift Maricul broke the dome, causing a powerful wave to shoot out through the surrounding area shaped in a circle, pushing Fukari back and setting off the other mines in the area, but these were too far off to give Maricul trouble from where she was standing. The last mine was set off prematurely and the mind field advantage of The Blind Assassin was finished.
The smoke caused by the explosions suddenly began to move as if being possessed by something else, it now formed all around the two warriors boxing them in. As the smoke drew closer to the two, The Blind Assassin would hear the sound of movement in the smoke circle. The sounds of tails rattling, serpents slithering inside the surrounding smoke and dust. Red eyes bleeding through the smoke to stare at Fukari but their stares were lost on the blind but the terrifying sounds they made were not. The Spider Queen hoisted her 9mm and drew the 11mm Blessing, white as snow and a nightmare for any demon or vampire which the bullets have ever sunk into. And with that:
The battlefield was now bent to Maricul's will.

Fukari thought she had her with this move, so much in fact she about said "checkmate" but before the word could be uttered she heard the building of a web dome being created. Spiderweb? The object that would halt her kill shot would be a dome made out of spiderweb? This was unexpected to say the least but The Blind Assassin kept her resolve even after the wave pushed her back and took out the rest of her mines. The Katana was drawn again as the smoke began to move strangely. The sounds of familiars reached her ear and she knew right then that now it was she surrounded by her opponent.
The very sounds the serpents made caused the hairs on the back of her neck to rise up, a tingle shooting all the way down her spine, a mixed of fear and excitement as she faced Maricul's direction hearing another gun being taken out for this fight. This was where the handicap of her blindness really came in thick, she wouldn't know what kind of gun she was facing until she could hear it shots, until she had a chance to touch it. Right now neither option were available and those familiars could appear anywhere.
So could the gunshots.
"Clever using your familiars in such a way. Most vampires are more point and shoot with theirs."
Fukari didn't make any advancement but she was ready for what was to come.
"Well? What are you waiting for?"

Maricul kept a cold stare on her opponent. All through this match The Blind Assassin has unloaded one surprise after another, even using some of the Abyss as her pawns but now she was surrounded by her familiars and Maricul didn't have to watch her step anymore. Not that it matters with the surrounding smoke boxing them in keeping anything from going in or out. The familiars were getting hungry and The Serpent would hate to leave her babies at bay for very long.
"Shush now. I want to savor the moment."
Maricul closed her eyes, indulging herself in the mixture of fear and excitement radiating off of The Blind Assassin. Even in the face of death a part of her was enjoying every waking moment. Truly a worthy adversary for the occasion. It would be fun to sink her fangs into her soft neck and drink her blood when it was all said and done. The vampiress already had a taste of her blood earlier and she wanted more. With her eyes still closed Maricul aimed the 11mm Blessing towards her and fired off a single bullet, which missed on purpose but it was not intended to hit anything. The sound of gunfire and smell of gunpowder was there to distract the half breed while her familiars in the form of serpents began to form above her.
There was no sound or smell about them. Nothing for The Blind Assassin to see, smell or hear. Pure silence from her weapons of destruction. The Dead Lands would be her final resting place as 368 pounds now hovered above her before crashing down for her head, looking to crush her flat underneath all that weight.

Fukari made no move and allowed the Nosferatu to "savor" the moment as she waited for an opening. The sound of the Blessing roaring across the night's sky would cause her to move a little, but hearing the bullet movement she could tell that it wasn't aim for her and that right there told Fukari this was a setup. The Blind Assassin could neither see, nor hear, nor smell, but could very well sense the power growing....
Above her!
Bending her knees she had enough groundwork to lunge up into the air in an Aerial Strike, unleashing an omnipotent barrage of slashes towards the falling familiars. It was becoming more and more apparent that this was no ordinary blade and that it wielded a blessing strong enough....
To destroy the familiars.
They were dispatched, sliced and diced, one by one at the hands of the unforgiving blade. Gravity acted soon after the Aerial Strikes were completed as she fell back to the ground. Just seconds after her feet touched the ground did she advanced, closing the distance in no time flat as she readied her Katana to thrust deeply into the heart of the vampire. The source of the familiars.

Maricul opened her eyes in time to see her familiars currently on the field be dispatched. So there was a blessing on that blade, all this time. The Assassin was crafty to say the least. Would make a great vampire. Fukari came forward with the blessed blade, Maricul decided to counter one holy power with another as she aimed the 11mm Blessing towards the Katana, unloading a single shot aimed to break the sword. It was now one holy power versus another.

There would be no holy war, no clash of titans for lack of a better phrase. The Blind Assassin changed tactics quickly to adapt to the sudden 11mm bullet coming towards her, spinning the Katana so quickly it could easily slice and dice you upon contact if a humanoid came into contact with it. This was possible with a long sword, but a Katana was thinner and faster, making it more deadly, quicker. The bullet didn't have a chance as the spinning Katana fended against it and she continued on her charge, now looking to slice her to kibble and bits.
