The moment his fingertips touched this fragment, Angel felt a ripple in his heart.
It seems that all worries and Affliction things, including doubts about one's identity, guilt about hiding from Klein, and anxiety about the future, were released when "Calamity" Charm took effect and killed the other "self".
The hateful expression of "Mirror Person" just now and the declaration of "everything about you will belong to me" echoed in her mind for a long time.
Could it be that that was the evil side of my heart, and the battle just now was equivalent to me killing the evil side of myself and the Affliction and worries in my heart?
The moment this thought appeared in her mind, she felt that the last bit of "Affliction" Potion in her body was completely digested in the tranquility after the battle.
It can't be something like "Inner Demon", Overcome Yourself, and then transcendence... Angel chuckled secretly and immediately straightened his face to prevent his overly excited mood from affecting himself and relax his vigilance against weird dreams.
Carefully avoiding sharp edges, she grabbed the black fragment and stood up, studying it carefully.
The fragment was about the size of a palm, with one end sharp and the other at a right angle. It looked like a fragment that appeared after a full-length mirror was broken. However, the surface was dark, as if it was covered with opaque paint. If the material was not the same as the two broken full-length mirrors around it, it would not be possible to tell that it was a "mirror fragment".
Killing his own "mirror image" and leaving behind a fragment of mirror. What kind of weird dream is this?
And that "Mirror Person" fully understands my fighting style, and also owns my Beyonder Ability and Mystical Item, which is too difficult... No, she doesn't know "Calamity" Charm, otherwise she wouldn't be so surprised when I use Charm...
Angel picked up the used dark red Charm on the wet ground. The mysterious symbols engraved on it had completely disappeared and turned into an ordinary piece of iron without any Spirituality.
The only difference between it and other items on my body is that I don't understand the source of its power... Is this why my "Mirror Person" cannot copy it?
After thinking for a moment, Angel gave up these speculations for the time being. There were too few clues, and there would be no additional gains if he continued thinking about it.
She briefly treated the wounds on her body and found that in the dream, the injuries she received were much lighter than in reality. Even though Sword of Dawn had just penetrated her body several centimeters, not a few drops of blood came out, and the pain was very slight.
After all, it's just a dream... I hope I won't find that Potion has not been digested after I wake up. It is simply a real "Affliction" experience...
She mumbled and checked the entire basement again. After finding no other useful objects, she pushed open an iron door in the corner and walked out of the dark room.
It was still dark and quiet outside the door, but fortunately Angel's Dark Vision was still effective in the dream.
She found that behind the door was a stone staircase that spiraled up and down. Every other short section there was an iron door similar to the room she was in. The further distance was shrouded in airtight mist that even Dark Vision couldn't see through.
Above, there are also iron doors, one step at a time, but with a faint light.
It turns out that this is not a "basement", just a small room without windows.
At the end of the spiral staircase, there is darkness below and light above.
Without hesitation, she moved upwards.
After passing through the iron doors, Angel had no idea of opening them to see what was going on. She didn't want to encounter "mirrors" or other weird objects again. With Spirituality's current empty body, dizzy and headache, she might not be able to deal with even one Sequence 6.
Fortunately, every iron door was closed tightly, and there was no sound coming from inside. Angel quickly reached the end of the spiral staircase and found that the upper part was a square hall that was not very wide. Some tools and rusty weapons were scattered on the ground. There were old wooden framed glass windows on the four walls. It was from one side that the light entered the hall and then entered the spiral staircase.
"Queen Mystic" Bernadette Gustav, whom she saw and talked to in her last dream, was standing by the window, staring out blankly.
She no longer wore the strange skirt that matched with beige trousers, but instead put on a white shirt with a lace collar similar to Angel, paired with a blue jacket of the same color as her eyes, and her lower body was still slim trousers and black leather boots.
This high-sequence extraordinary person had his back to Angel, and the outline of his body shone in the dim light of the setting sun, but it made Angel feel a bit lonely.
She, has been standing here since Dream Invasion? Obviously we are old acquaintances with "Admiral of Stars" but don't want to meet each other. We know the dream here so well but don't want to explore it. We just look into the distance?
Approaching Bernadette softly, Angel glanced out and found that this hall was actually part of the huge black building in the last dream. To be precise, it was the observation deck at the top of one of its towers.
Opposite the window, there are still cliffs and mountain peaks that have not changed at all, as well as city walls and palaces built on the mountains. Above them, the light of dusk envelopes everything.
"Beautiful, isn't it?"
Bernadette, who had chestnut hair and blue eyes, suddenly spoke.
"Indeed, but these are just dreams."
Angel squinted his eyes under the setting sun, feeling the soft sunlight that was different from the aggressive light of God War Ruins, and replied.
After hearing her somewhat "negative" words, Bernadette no longer looked at the temple opposite, but turned his head with stern eyes.
"This dream is not vast, it only has Black Monastery under our feet, and the projection of Giant King’s Court on the other side of the cliff.
"Of course, these two names are my guesses. I didn't find the corresponding monastery in Physical World. I just named it based on its color, but Giant King’s Court is very similar to the Twilight Giant Hall of Feysac."
The throne of God of War Church, Twilight Giant Hall?
Angel feels that it is extremely difficult to talk to this "Queen Mystic". She needs to try her best to search for the occult knowledge in her mind to keep up with the other person's thoughts.
But every word she said seemed to have a profound meaning, so Spirituality was not enough. Angel, who had a splitting headache, still gritted his teeth and persisted, writing down every word, even if he couldn't understand it temporarily!
"That God of Combat is said to be a giant that survived before Great Cataclysm, and this God War Ruins originated from Great Cataclysm."
Bernadette continued speaking without caring about whether Angel could understand.
She was not talking to me, but to Mr. Fool behind me. She wanted to exchange this knowledge for a certain promise, such as interpreting Emperor Roselle's Diary?
But Mr. Fool can even find Mr. "Sun" from Forsaken Land of the Gods and "City of Silver" that existed before Great Cataclysm, and let him participate in Tarot Club from a whole world away. Will he really care about your knowledge... Angel thought in his mind a little rudely.
She suddenly remembered where she had heard "Giant King’s Court".
"The real Giant King’s Court is in Forsaken Land of the Gods."
Seeing that Bernadette seemed to have a tendency to continue filling her with knowledge that she didn't understand, Angel spoke.
"Queen Mystic" looked at Angel with his blue eyes for a few seconds, then nodded lightly and said without surprise:
"It is said that the entrance of 'Forsaken Land of the Gods' is in the projection of 'Giant King’s Court' opposite.
"And here at Black Monastery, each room represents a different location in this sea area, and behind each door may be the dreams of different creatures.
"He has been looking for 'Forsaken Land of the Gods', saying that the ultimate answer to everything is hidden there."
What she means is that the entire dream corresponds to the specific location of God War Ruins, and the same goes for Giant King’s Court opposite. As long as you can get there, you can hope to find "him", which is the Forsaken Land of the Gods that Emperor Roselle has been looking for?
With difficulty, Angel kept up with the other party's thoughts. Just like that, she felt as if her head was pierced by countless sharp knives after running out of Spirituality, even in a dream where the pain was not obvious.
Fortunately, it seemed that Bernadette was just inspired by seeing this scenery. Instead of continuing the topic, Bernadette changed the subject and said:
"I said that the dreamland here is very dangerous, but you seem to be overconfident in your own strength."
Her eyes rested on Angel's blood-stained shirt and the scars all over her body, and the meaning was self-evident.
"When I woke up this time, I didn't appear in the library, but woke up in a dark room, and met... myself appearing in the mirror."
Angel explained, took out the dark mirror fragment from his pocket and handed it to Bernadette. The latter took it, glanced at it and returned it, saying:
"The library is not the place you should go. I said that every location in this dream corresponds to the corresponding location in the sea. You should appear near the crew of 'Future' and spend the not-dangerous dream time with them, not in this tower composed of countless dangerous dreams.
"I brought you to the library to observe your reaction to the diary, but this time, I did not exert any influence... Maybe it is some kind of power in you that attracts the power of other people. This is not common in dreams, but it does happen from time to time.
"Next time, I will try to send you back to Cattleya."
After saying that, she seemed to feel something and looked out the window at the sunset again.
The sunlight instantly became intense, illuminating the entire hall golden.
Angel subconsciously narrowed his eyes and opened them again, only to find that he was back in the cabin of "Future". The porthole window was bright and the sky was once again ruled by Blazing Sun.
Ignoring the surprise, she immediately got up from the bed, touched her chest, and found that the damage she suffered in the dream was not reflected in reality, but the consumed Spirituality did not return to her body. Her head was still throbbing in pain, and although her vision was not blurry, she couldn't help but close her eyes.
By the way, my ammunition, Charm!
After opening the revolver's magazine, she took out the Charm in her pocket and checked it before she breathed a sigh of relief.
Those "Storm", "Slumber Charm" and other Charm all stayed in place, and the bullets were not fired. Except for Spirituality, which was half lost, there seemed to be no abnormality...
No!
Angel looked at the Charms in the palm of his hand and found that the runes engraved on the surface of the dark red "Calamity" Charm were placed alone and had faded, and there was no Spirituality reaction that a normal Charm should have.
It has become an ordinary piece of iron.
In my dream, I consumed "Calamity" Charm in reality?
Considering that "Mirror Person" did not copy her Charm, Angel seemed to understand the difference between "Calamity" and other items.
It can pass through the shackles of reality and "dream" and directly attack the target inside!
If so, my Potion... She put down her pistol and Charm, closed her eyes, entered meditation, and felt the "Affliction" Potion in her body. She soon discovered to her surprise that the "tranquility" she experienced in her dream and the feeling of Potion digestion were real.
She has completed the performance and digestion of Sequence 5 and "Affliction".
It turns out that the end of "Affliction" is the "heart of Overcome Yourself" in a mystical sense, but in the dream, this is realized through "Mirror Person"?
After making the final summary, Angel breathed a long sigh of relief, opened his eyes, and felt that his headache and fatigue were less obvious under this surprise.
At this moment, her drooping arm touched the pocket of her coat. She was stunned for a moment, then reached out and took out the object in the bag and raised it in front of her.
It was a piece of pitch-black mirror with sharp edges, one sharp and the other blunt.
