A little earlier, the entrance to the alley leading from White Whale Street to Black Palm Street.
It was dark at night, and the streets of East Borough, which lacked street lights, were dim. A black four-wheeled carriage was parked next to the alley, and the horses were tied to the lamp posts. Four men and women were huddled in the alley, looking into the distance.
The leader was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe. He was not wearing a hat, and his short dark brown hair was slowly blowing in the wind. Standing next to him was a woman wearing a hood, and two men with tightly buttoned windbreakers and neat hats.
They are Senior Deacon Pierce Turner and a whole team of Nighthawks who set off from Saint Samuel Cathedral an hour ago.
"Let's get started, use Sealed Artifact'1-63', and imprison Beyonder above Sequence 5 into Mirror World." The short-haired man said.
"Yes, Pierce Your Excellency."
Behind him, a man in a trench coat squatted down, carefully unsealed the metal box lying flat on the ground beside him, and took out a silver-plated mirror the size of a book. Its shape was from hundreds of years ago, and the interior reflected the surrounding environment, layer upon layer, without end.
Aiming the silver mirror at a two-story building in front of it, the mirror holder gently touches the mirror surface with his left hand without gloves, causing the silver mirror to ripple like water. When the mirror surface returns to calmness, the small building in front of it has been clearly included in the mirror image. The illusion of layering and repetition disappears, and it seems to have turned into a normal cosmetic mirror.
But the Nighthawks who was holding it suddenly turned red and couldn't help panting, as if he was seriously ill and was about to fall to the ground from exhaustion.
At this moment, a dark emerald brooch on the left chest of his windbreaker shone with a faint light, like a lush rainforest covering the arid desert. It instantly cured the disease that suddenly appeared in his body and returned his red cheeks to their normal rosiness.
This is a "3" level Sealed Artifact used in conjunction with Sealed Artifact "1-63". Its only function is to periodically remove diseases from the wearer.
But even so, it cannot continue to take effect in the face of "1" level Sealed Artifact. After testing by Church of Evernight, the maximum safe time for using "1-63" in this way is only half an hour.
But for a High Sequence Beyonder, half an hour is enough to deal with the enemy.
Seeing Sealed Artifact take effect, Pierce straightened his black robe, took a few steps forward, turned back as if remembering something, and said to the only woman in the team:
"Daly, when I enter Mirror World, you are responsible for driving away the remaining wild Beyonder. Our target today is not them."
"Yes, Pierce Your Excellency."
The hooded woman nodded slightly, revealing the face with eye shadow and blush underneath.
She waited for Pierce's figure to disappear in the alley ahead, closed her eyes, and stretched forward with one hand. A faint mist suddenly enveloped the building in front of her, and not long after, frightened shouts came from inside.
The shouts rang out, and the three people including Mr. X and "Mirror World" looked at the corner of the room at the same time.
On an empty seat there, a black shadow with an unclear outline suddenly appeared. It looked like a humanoid, but it had no normal facial features. It only had a big mouth like a head, and the sound was coming from there.
The next moment, its head turned in the direction of Angel and spoke again:
"Who are you?"
The voice was a little confused, but more indifferent. Angel guessed that no matter how he answered, the black shadow would attack directly in the next second and eliminate the two people who did not belong to Aurora Order to avoid future troubles.
There is no doubt that this is the Aurora Order member who is secretly protecting Mr. X, and it is very likely that Sequence is higher than those "Sir" and "Ms.", High Sequence Beyonder, one of the five "Saint"!
After thinking about this, Angel quickly shook his head, indicating that he was not clear about what was happening now. Mr. X was not too panicked. His eyes moved between Angel, Klein and the black shadow, as if he was still assessing the situation on the field.
Except for the four people, more than a dozen other party members seemed to have seen something terrifying. They jumped up from the sofas and chairs one by one, with their mouths open and eyes wide open, and they rushed towards the two exits in a panic.
But like a pantomime, none of the sounds reached the ears of these four people, as if they were not in the same world.
"Mirror World."
The dark shadow's low, hoarse voice came, not as a question, but as a tone of confirmation.
His vague outline suddenly expanded, and soon grew to more than two meters high, almost touching the unlit gas chandelier hanging from the ceiling. His body also grew several times, and the black mist on his body condensed into a full-body armor, and the outline became clear, but except for the eye sockets that glowed with deep Red Light, the entire suit of armor had no openings.
He raised his armored right hand, and a black shadow was about to form the shape of a long sword in his hand, but suddenly it stopped still, and his shining eyes became dim, as if he had fallen into a sudden sleep.
"Mr. X" Louis Wien's eyelids jumped. He felt that tonight's events were extremely strange. He seemed to have arrived in a field where he could not interact with the outside world. Aurora Order's "Saint Tenebrous" suddenly fell into a deep sleep again, leaving only himself and two party members of unknown origins together.
He subconsciously wants to use "Travel" to leave this place, or even leave Backlund. He will return after the situation is clear and the problem is solved. This is his privilege as "Traveler".
But before he could make a move, the taller Hooded Woman in front of him held down the much shorter hooded man next to him with one hand and pushed him back. The latter's figure disappeared as if it had been erased.
Wait, can she get people out of this "Mirror World"?
Mr. X As soon as this question came into his mind, he felt a sharp pain in his throat. He coughed and vomited with a "wow" sound, and vomited out a dark red soft object.
That's his blood!
Am I poisoned? Or disease?
Mr. X reacted extremely quickly. He didn't care to use the long-distance "Travel" to leave Backlund. Instead, he used the faster short-distance "Travel" to leave the house and Hooded Woman, who undoubtedly caused his abnormal state.
His figure sitting on the main seat immediately became illusory, and even the ice that seemed to surround him suddenly fell into the air before it had time to close.
But the next moment, Mr. X's figure appeared in the corner of the room, the eyes behind the brass mask full of doubts.
There's no way his "Travel" can leave the house!
"Unfortunately, this place has been separated from Physical World. Whether you are 'Travel' or 'Door Opening', you cannot leave this place."
A calm and indifferent voice came. Mr. X looked at the main door of the living room, only to find that there was a middle-aged man wearing a black robe and short hair standing there. His hands naturally drooped and rested on his sides. He was unarmed, but he gave himself a far better sense of danger than the other Hooded Woman.
He immediately remembered the "Evernight's lackey" shouted by "Saint Tenebrous" just now, and understood the identity of the other party: Nighthawks of Backlund.
As soon as the Lord's Angel of fate left, they came to kill him?
Mr. X immediately felt that he could no longer stay here and had to leave immediately, but he used "Travel" again, only to find that his position had hardly changed, as if the entire space was curled up in this living room. The four people were like beasts in a small room, crowded together, and about to start fighting.
By the way, four people!
He suddenly found that Nighthawks did not focus on himself, but instead looked at the mysterious Hooded Woman. The latter had made no other moves since pushing the fifth person away from Mirror World. He only summoned Frost to try to block his position and caused the disease in himself...
Frost, disease... she is Demoness?
Thinking of this, Mr. X suddenly felt a headache, but he soon discovered that this was not an illusion, but an aggravating illness that made him start to have a fever and dizziness.
Of course, the Mystical Item, "Blood Flower" ring he wore repaired the body's tissues and organs destroyed by disease just as Rose Bishop repaired his own flesh and blood, but the effect was not obvious and could not match half of the effect of "disease".
Oops, if I stay any longer, I'm going to die here...
Mr. X found that he could not leave for a while, so he could only try to attack Demoness. He looked at the other person, and an illusory book appeared in his eyes. The pages of the book were constantly turning, and he stayed on one page.
I come, I see, I record!
As the pages of the book were fixed, a disembodied voice sounded in Mr. X's mind. One Demigod Beyonder Ability recorded in the "Scribe" ability was about to be released. This would be the nemesis of Demoness, who could escape harm through a substitute. It was...
Suddenly, Mr. X's head went blank, as if he had forgotten what he was going to do and where he was.
He just stood like that, which made Angel, who suddenly felt a sense of crisis and wanted to take advantage of his position in Mirror World, to jump directly to another position, was a little confused.
"He seems to have fallen into some kind of negative state. After all, my enemies usually become unlucky."
Pierce Turner beside her said with a chuckle.
This Nighthawks obviously regards Angel, who is attacking members of "Aurora Order", as a temporary companion. After all, when "Witch Mirror" pulls Sequence 5 and above Beyonder into Mirror World, it will not distinguish the composition of the target, and it is likely to bring in other party members who meet the conditions together.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend, at least, for the time being...
But even if he thought so, Pierce still stayed a little away from this Demoness, and looked at Black Armored Knight beside him who couldn't escape from the nightmare. He could already confirm that this Aurora Order The member of is one of the five Saint, "Saint Tenebrous" Kisma, and "Black Knight" of Sequence 4!
Bang——
The nightmare-ridden "Black Knight" suddenly exploded, and its armor and flesh turned into dark ink-like patches, filling the entire room. It barely avoided Mr. X, who was stunned in place, but more deliberately aimed at the other two.
In front of Angel, an ice wall formed, blocking the black flesh and blood for a moment. She herself used the area effect produced by Sealed Artifact to easily get into Mirror World, avoiding the indiscriminate attacks.
Pierce stood still, most of the flesh and blood just avoided the area where he was, and the remaining bit was absorbed by an illusory Spirit Body that poured out of him. The Spirit Body became slightly dimmer, but it was not serious.
Flesh and blood fell to the ground one after another, squirming Reassembly, turning into a dark red thin blanket, quickly covering every corner of the room.
The floor, ceiling, and surrounding walls have grown a layer of shrinking flesh, making the room that was quite modern just now seem like the stomach of a monster.
In the center of the room, Black Armored Knight's figure emerged from the meat blanket, with Red Light flashing in its eye sockets. The figure became less than two meters tall due to the loss of part of its flesh and blood, but it was still very powerful.
This Aurora Order's Demigod used self-mutilation to get rid of the nightmare that enveloped him.
He could feel that Nighthawks, who had pulled him into the Dream Invasion realm, had power that was close to that of Demigod, but because he was not divine, he was just a little short of it.
But my own strength has also been greatly weakened by this strange "Mirror World". One plus and one minus, it is almost the same.
So, all you have to do is...
"Saint Tenebrous" Kisma sneered, raised the two-handed sword condensed from the black shadow in his hand, and was about to slash it out of the void, cut off the barrier between the mirror and reality, and let everyone return to Physical World.
Boom——
A wave of Black Flame emerged from him. Behind him and beside him, several glass windows and two decorative mirrors reflected his tall and majestic figure. In each mirror, there was a shadow of Hooded Woman caressing his reflection, attracting Cursed Flame that could burn flesh and Spirit Body to his body.
Since the battle with Ms. D, Angel's Black Flame has once again covered the flesh and blood of the "Aurora Order" members.
