Catherine instinctively wanted to refuse. She joined Akatsuki to utilize their strength, not to die!
But the words that came out of his mouth turned into a question.
"Is this War Knight really the War Knight from the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in mythology?"
"Yes!"
"But isn't that a myth or legend?"
"Vampires are also creatures from mythology and legends, don't they exist too?"
"This is different! Those are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse!"
"For ninjas, it's all the same: the only difference is whether they can win or not."
"So, you can beat him?"
Su shrugged: "Of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, the only troublesome one is the Death Knight. I will accompany you on this mission, but the mission content is different, and I will not interfere with your actions! However, I will help you to a limited extent without affecting my mission."
Catherine lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked, "I'll take this mission. When do we set off?"
"immediately!"

Chapter 436 The Town Overrun by Demons
The next day, the sun shone brightly and the weather was perfect.
In Colorado, Sue and Catherine stand on the only bridge leading to their target town.
The bridge is broken.
There's no cell phone signal either.
At first glance, the town seems to have been closed off, but the bridge is not high and the stream under it is not very large, so you can walk in.
Su stood at the broken bridge and jumped off. After a few leaps, she reached the other side and entered the town.
Catherine followed closely behind.
The town was not large, and the empty streets were devoid of anything except for the cars parked on the roadside.
Walking down the street, you can't see a soul in sight. It's eerily quiet, as if it were a ghost town where everyone has vanished into thin air.
Catherine sniffed slightly as she looked at a car overturned in the middle of the road; she could smell the blood of 410.
"Could everyone in this town be dead?" Catherine whispered.
Su shook his head: "The War Knight is still here."
If everyone in the town is dead, the War Knight will naturally not stay here any longer.
Catherine pouted: "How do you know he didn't leave?"
Su walked straight to an old red Mustang parked by the roadside, casually patted it, and quietly left his Flying Thunder God mark on it: "His car is still here!"
"You mean this is the War Knights' vehicle? That's really... keeping up with the times!" Catherine was somewhat surprised. She didn't doubt the truthfulness of what the other person said, but she was just surprised that even the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse from mythology were driving a vehicle.
Knights, of course, have a vehicle. In mythology, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse rode horses, but now, keeping up with the times, they've been replaced by cars.
The two continued exploring the town and found numerous traces of blood and gunfire.
As they walked, Catherine suddenly raised an eyebrow and turned around abruptly.
Behind them, a middle-aged Black man holding a shotgun watched them warily, the muzzle pointed at them, his finger on the trigger, as if he would pull the trigger without hesitation if they made the slightest move.
Catherine smiled slightly, ignoring the gun in his hand. Just as she was about to speak, the other man raised a bottle with one hand and splashed it directly at the two of them.
Catherine was immediately splashed in the face. She was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously glanced at Uchiha Itachi, who had already dodged away, and angrily demanded of the middle-aged black man, "What is this!"
“Holy water!” the middle-aged man replied, looking at Su Shi.
Wearing a strange black robe in the sweltering heat and immediately avoiding the holy water, this guy is suspicious.
“I am not possessed by a demon. In fact, no demon can possess me!” Su recognized the other party’s identity and said slowly, “You are Rufus, the demon hunter. I am Uchiha Itachi, a ninja.”
"Ninja?"
Rufus asked in surprise, "You mean the kind of ninja like the God of Ninjas?"
"Yes."
Su nodded and chuckled to himself. It seemed that news about ninjas and the God of Ninjas had already gone viral.
That's good. He really doesn't want to have to explain things every time. He's also had enough of the awkward situation of trying to impress the blind without anyone to listen or explain things clearly.
“I’ve heard that a ninja named Nagini is hunting demons everywhere. Are you with her? Is your purpose in coming here also to hunt down the demons that have invaded the town?” Rufus relaxed his guard slightly.
Su shook her head: "We have other missions."
Rufus paused, then frowned: "What mission?"
Su smiled but remained silent.
Rufus thought for a moment and said, "The entire town has now fallen. I've stopped some people from trying to stop the demons that have possessed the town's residents, but the situation isn't ideal. If possible, I hope we can be more honest and cooperate."
Su pointed to Catherine: "Our missions are different. You can ask her if she's interested in cooperating."
After saying that, Su used her Instantaneous Movement Technique to disappear.
Catherine and Rufus were both stunned, never expecting him to leave so suddenly and disappear in the blink of an eye.
After exchanging bewildered glances, Rufus spoke first: "You're a ninja too?"
Catherine laughed: "No, I'm a vampire!"
"vampire?!"
Upon hearing this, Rufus instinctively pointed his gun at Catherine again.
Aside from the Winston brothers and others, most Witcher hunters deal with ghosts and vampires, which have relatively obvious weaknesses and are easier to deal with.
It's no wonder Rufus reacted strongly when he first heard that Catherine was a vampire!
"Wait, it's daytime now, you..." Rufus suddenly realized that vampires rarely appeared openly during the day.
"Although I am a vampire, I am with him." Although Catherine was somewhat dissatisfied with being splashed with holy water earlier, she held back her anger in order to complete the mission, and cleverly used the name of Uchiha Itachi as a shield.
Clearly, this witcher has a certain level of trust in ninjas, but as for his attitude towards vampires... well... after all these years, Catherine has come to know witchers quite well.
“I don’t know what his mission is, but my mission is—we can work together!” Catherine said.
Rufus hesitated. Deep down, he didn't believe in vampires at all, nor did he want to cooperate with them. In fact, he wanted to kill the vampire in front of him.
However, this vampire came with the ninjas. He had heard a lot about ninjas, especially the God of Ninjas. Although it was hard to tell whether he was good or evil, and he had heard that the God of Ninjas had released Lucifer, his stance was still relatively clear. He was definitely on the side of humans.
Now that the town has been overrun by demons and is in dire straits, and this vampire came with ninjas, Rufus can't afford to turn against her, whether to fight the demons or to save himself.
"I will not cooperate with vampires!" Rufus said with a grim expression.
Catherine chuckled dismissively: "Nothing is absolute. Do you think this town was simply conquered by demons?"
"What do you mean?"
Rufus couldn't help but press for an answer when he sensed the hidden meaning in Catherine's words.
Catherine chuckled: "Have you heard of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? This town became like this because one of the Four Horsemen, the War Knight, is here. And my mission is to be the War Knight!"
Catherine played a word game; her mission was to obtain the War Knight's ring, but her words easily led people to believe that her mission was to defeat the War Knight.

Chapter 437 The War Knights Make Their Debut, Who Has More Style?
"My God, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?!"
Rufus was shocked. As a witcher, although he didn't deal with demons and angels like the Winchester family, he was certainly familiar with the name of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.
It's an exaggeration to say that everyone knows about the ancient legends and prophecies of the Apocalypse—the end of the world—but it's impossible for a professional witcher like Rufus not to know them.
"You're saying the town's destruction by demons is related to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse? What evidence do you have?" Rufus pressed.
The demons alone had already left him helpless and filled him with despair; if a war knight were to appear as well…
"Evidence? Heh, I am the evidence!" Catherine chuckled softly, her eyes flashing with a bewitching and eerie light.
Rufus paused for a moment, his excited expression calming down, gradually becoming somewhat numb and cold. He slowly lowered the gun he was holding: "Yes, what you said is the evidence."
"Humph!"
Catherine glared at Rufus with a cold snort. If she didn't have another mission, she would have bitten his neck off. "Take me to your Camp 14 and tell me the details of the current situation."
"Yes."
Rufus nodded, then turned and led Catherine to the camp, explaining the current situation in the town.
"Hypnosis? That's definitely Catherine's style." Su Shi, who had already left, had somehow returned unnoticed.
Sue was not at all surprised that Rufus had been hypnotized by Catherine.
Under normal circumstances, given the ninja identity and the mention of the War Knight, cooperation should be possible even without hypnosis.
But given Catherine's style of doing things, hypnosis is definitely the simplest, most direct, and most familiar method.
Rufus is quite a knowledgeable and experienced professional witcher, having survived to this day. He shouldn't have been so easily hypnotized by a vampire.
Unfortunately, he came to fight demons and was not prepared for vampires. Moreover, there are many kinds of vampires, each with different origins and abilities. In addition, Rufus probably did not expect Catherine to hypnotize him, so he was easily tricked.
The situation in the town is different now than in the TV series. In the TV series, Rufus asked the Winchester brothers for help, but the Winchester brothers met Allen first and dealt with another group of survivors led by Rufus.
The War Knight was hiding in the survivor camp where Allen was, impersonating a middle-aged man named Roger.
Dressed in a suit and wearing gold-rimmed glasses, he knew nothing about guns and weapons, resembling a refined upper-class intellectual.
As for now, Allen and Joe aren't involved in this matter at all, but Su is very curious about where the War Knight will be staying.
