"Tsk, some of them are too sweet. You can ask them to add some chocolate to neutralize it."
Behind the mirror, a clear but slightly childish voice came from the stroller, unceremoniously commenting on the ice cream that Angel bought at a high price and traveled half a city to deliver it to him, or rather his mother's mouth.
"Okay, I will pay attention next time," Angel replied, holding back his laughter, and then got to the point, "I came back from Trier. Although the whole process was tortuous, it was still Luck."
"It can be seen that you have gained a lot, but because of this, your destiny has been somewhat deviated."
The "Snake of Fate" said slowly, and the stroller turned slightly so that the child inside faced Angel. The latter could feel a line of sight looking at her through the mirror, looking at her from the inside out.
Deviation of fate... I remember that He once said this to Klein, and that time it was because we met "Adam" on our trip to the island. That King of Angel... Angel thought about it and asked nervously:
"Can you understand what exactly caused it?"
While asking the question, her mind flashed through the captured "Mirror Person", the "Black Witch" Clarice she met at Red House Cafe, and the "Clarice" who died in her hands. Iron-Blooded Knight" Sirio Sauron, Bornova Gustav who was caught in the trap by chance and escaped disaster, and the new rune discovered in Fourth Epoch Trier.
After thinking about it, the only things that might affect her fate are Bornova, who is Angel, and the runes related to the pollution of Fourth Epoch Trier, and she is more inclined to...
"Could it be that one..."
She subconsciously asked, but before she could finish her words, Will Auceptin in the stroller cried out "Wow", blocking all her questions.
Based on the experience of the last conversation, Angel judged that Angel, who is extremely sensitive to fate, probably did not want to talk about this topic, or was afraid of the intertwining of "destiny" caused by this incident. This also showed that her guess was probably correct. The deviation of her destiny was due to the acquisition of new runes, and she was even more closely connected with that power...
When the baby's cries stopped throughout the bathroom but strangely did not reach the room, Angel wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead and changed the topic:
"I want to know how to use the power contained in my blood more efficiently? Using them directly to draw Charm seems to be a simple and inefficient method."
"The blood of any creature is rich in Spirituality materials, especially Beyonder. A part of Beyonder Characteristic in their bodies will dissolve into the blood, giving them certain special characteristics. They can track and curse the body, or be used as materials for various rituals."
Will Auceptin's voice was still clear, as if the cry just now was just Angel's hallucination.
"After being promoted to Demigod, Beyonder was able to have their own divinity, which allowed their blood to contain the same power. Of course, depending on Pathway, these incomplete divinities gather in different ways. Some are bugs, some are scales, but most are blood. The same goes for Demoness and Hunter...
"Drawing Charm directly with blood can take advantage of the power, but most of it will escape directly and cannot play its intended role. You can try to collect the blood first, pray to yourself, concentrate the power in it, and make a real Beyonder Ingredients, but the premise is that you can tolerate the temporary loss of this power, otherwise it is likely to cause loss of control."
Pray to yourself... Angel's eyes lit up, thinking of how she had sacrificed Magic Mirror Spirit Channeling for Spirit Channeling Sirio when she was at Fourth Epoch Trier The object of 's prayers was changed from Goddess to himself in order to borrow strength from the weak connection with Spirit World, and succeeded Spirit Channeling.
This is equivalent to a cycle of my own power. In this case, blood is just a medium, not a carrier of power. It can accommodate more power. However, because of this, excessive use is equivalent to directly reducing my own power. As Demigod, I need to suppress the incomplete Mythical Creature Form at any time, which will increase the risk of losing control... She understood and bent slightly to salute the mirror:
"Thank you for your help."
As for how to pray and how to concentrate blood, as a Demoness, she can think of many ways, and there is no need to trouble this "Snake of Fate".
"This is a thank you gift for your ice cream," the voice in the stroller replied, mixed with intermittent sucking sounds. It was unknown whether he was enjoying this "gift" in his mother's belly. "But unlike me, you'd better not regard this power as an unburdened 'gift'. All gifts of fate are secretly marked with a price, and you will only know how expensive it is when you pay."
So I have been careful and tried not to use this power, but I always feel that it is not me who is chasing this power, but this power, this "gift" that is chasing me...
Angel sighed secretly, nodded, and changed the topic:
"What do you know about 'Unaging' Demoness?"
"Are you referring to the formula, materials of Potion, or something else?"
Will Auceptin asked rhetorically, seeming to mean something.
"The secret of their ability to be 'resurrected'."
Angel said frankly.
Although she acted indifferent in front of Klein, she actually cared very much about Leonard's words, especially the mirror fragments found in her coffin, which gave her some very bad thoughts.
"In the world of occultism, resurrection from the dead is a rare thing, but it is not impossible. When I Reenactment the world as a newborn, it is a kind of 'Reboot', a kind of 'resurrection', and other Pathway also has some similar methods at different stages. Some use his past self to resurrect, some use Spirit Body to resurrect, and some... use his own avatar to resurrect in Mirror World."
"Use a substitute to resurrect, instead of hiding the real body in Mirror World, the outside world is just a substitute?"
Angel asked.
"It depends on how you look at it. The resurrection of 'Unaging' Demoness is very special. They seem to hide their true bodies in Mirror World. As long as the true bodies are not discovered and do not die, there will be endless substitutes from the outside world... But I think this one It's a disguise. The real Demoness should still be the one Physical World. And every time he dies, although he can be resurrected in Mirror World, he will face the risk of being torn apart mentally and Beyonder Characteristic, and even risk losing control.
"Maybe this is why high-ranking Demoness is going crazy."
At this point, Will Auceptin in the stroller chuckled, not knowing who he was laughing at.
This is what I'm worried about. If I'm just an unknowing "mirror substitute", and Mirror World is secretly watching my every move, treating me as a substitute that can be discarded at any time, that would be terrible... Angel pursed his lips, feeling a little relieved.
But just like Leonard did not fully believe Klein's words, she did not fully believe the explanation of "Snake of Fate". This was not because she was worried that Will Auceptin would deceive her, but because Angel may not know all the secrets of Pathway and could only rely on her own experience and knowledge to make inferences.
But anyway, this also suggests a possible direction...
"Thanks again for your help."
She expressed her heartfelt gratitude.
"If you really want to thank me, don't bother me too often. Well, it's mainly my mother. She has a sweet tooth and has become fat because of me."
The answer coming from the stroller behind the mirror made Angel laugh. He turned his head to avoid letting the other party notice his smile.
"I will prepare some ice cream that is not so sweet, but as Loen likes sweets, this may be difficult."
"Then don't bother me during this period. After I'm born, I can bear the 'fate' of sweets by myself."
I understand, you want to eat alone...Angel pursed his lips and nodded, and then found that the wash mirror in front of him returned to normal, and the stroller inside disappeared without a trace, leaving only his figure in the middle, looking here expressionlessly, as if he was observing the outside world from inside the mirror.
Her heart trembled, and when she looked in the mirror again, she realized that it was just her face that was suppressing a smile.
"Lovely Anne Gustav, I am writing to you instead of contacting you through a contract because I exhausted all the power in the mark in a battle last week.
"You should have felt something at that time, otherwise you wouldn't have passed on your power through the contract. This helped me defeat a 'Iron-Blooded Knight' and 'Mirror Person', and indirectly helped an old friend you may know, Bornova Gustav...
"... The general process of the battle is like this. If 'Queen Mystic' Bernadette is still with you, please convey my regards to her and my question: Does she know anything about the power used by Sirio Sauron? Is there a way to crack the power of 'Secret Keeping' that the leader of 'Mirror Person' restricts all his subordinates?
"In Fourth Epoch's Trier, I obtained a new Charm production method. After consulting another Angel, I made a more powerful 'Calamity' Charm by concentrating the power. What I want to say is that you can ask me to fulfill the terms of the contract at any time. Of course, it depends on your own wishes.
"Finally, 'King of the Five Seas' Nast will hold the annual Pirate Conference in the near future. According to my guess, I, who temporarily owns you, 'Queen Anne's Revenge', will probably be invited. The same goes for 'Queen Mystic'. Whether you intend to participate or not, please attach your answer in the reply letter."
After folding the letter paper and stuffing it into the envelope, Angel took a look at the brand new Charm placed on the desk.
It has a purple-red appearance. Although it is made of iron, it shows a translucent, gem-like color, which is somewhat similar to Angel's eyes.
This Charm was drawn by her after collecting hundreds of milliliters of blood, concentrating it through complex rituals, and condensing her own power. It was not the previous "Calamity" or "betrayal", but was made from the new runes she discovered from Fourth Epoch Trier.
Although the power has not been tested, based on divination and Spirituality's intuition, Angel can judge its general effect.
This is a "Petrification" Charm.
There is no doubt that from "resurrection" to "Calamity" and then to "Petrification", they are all derived from the power of High Sequence from Demoness Pathway. On the small island that Klein and Alger explored together, we encountered the power that can turn people into stone statues, and it probably originated from the power of "Unaging"...
Carefully stroking this Charm, feeling the warm touch from the crystal purple Charm, Angel sighed softly, simply arranged the altar, and summoned the headless messenger Reinette Tinekerr.
