"Is this the 'Mirror World' you said was hidden in the gap between Spirit World and reality?"
Looking at the island that suddenly appeared on the bow of the ship, the surrounding sea area was obviously different from the previous one, and the vast ice surface below "Red Haired Woman" that seemed to be just below the sea surface, Helene asked cautiously.
"Actually... well, that's right, this is Mirror World."
Angel originally wanted to explain the difference between "Mirror World" in the general sense and this special world, but thought that this knowledge would be of little use to a Hunter, so he catered to the other party's imagination and nodded in agreement.
She also stuck her head out and looked at the "ice surface" below the sea surface, realizing that reality and "Mirror World" should be bounded by the sea surface, on both sides of this mirror.
Even from the perspective of the surrounding environment, the world with a gentle breeze blowing, sea water lapping against the side of the ship and the island coastline in front, and even the faint chirping of seabirds could be heard all around, looked more like "reality". The dense fog area on the other side was as fake and lacking in details as "reflection in a mirror".
At this time, she thought of what Will Auceptin had mentioned about the secret of the resurrection of "Unaging" Demoness. There were rumors that "Unaging" would hide its true body in Mirror World, allowing Mirror Substitution to stay in reality and complete all actions on its behalf.
As long as the main body does not die, the external avatars can die as much as they want. This is the biggest secret why "Unaging" Demoness is difficult to kill.
It sounds very similar to the island where "Fountain of Youth" is located... The main body is in the special Mirror World. In reality, there is only a dead ocean surrounded by thick fog and dark clouds. Isn't this the corresponding relationship between "Mirror Person" and the main body...
Angel murmured and looked forward, looking at the island that suddenly appeared and occupied most of his field of vision.
It is about 3 kilometers wide and occupies about one-tenth of the entire "Mirror World" area. The side facing "Red Haired Woman" is almost covered with cliffs. Above it is some unidentifiable vegetation, and only a small area can accommodate small boats. The beach where it is docked, but with the draft of the Three-Masted Sailing Ship, it would be impossible to escape by its own strength if it washed up on the beach. Angel guessed that there is no high and low tide in this sea area, and being stranded on the beach means being permanently trapped.
Of course, with the power of Angel, it is not difficult to rescue an escaped sailboat, but she also has her own plans.
"Wensa Although it is said that there will be no 'Unaging' Demoness waiting for me deep in the island, we cannot rule out some other Beyonder Creature. According to Beyonder Characteristic's Aggregation Law, where there is 'Fountain of Youth', it is also possible that there will be some Demigod level 'Demoness' Pathway Beyonder Creature...
"If Helene and these Sailor are allowed to follow me ashore and encounter danger, I will have to distract myself from taking care of them, which will actually reduce my combat effectiveness. If I encounter real danger, I will not be able to escape alone. I have to take everyone with me... Let them stay on the boat and wait offshore. It is the best plan for me to go ashore to explore alone!"
After confirming this, Angel called Helene and asked her to anchor offshore. All Sailor were on alert in shifts and were ready to leave at any time.
While getting back her "Rose Necklace" and waiting for the ship to anchor, she suddenly thought of something and said to Helene:
"Here, you must be careful of people with the same face as yourself. They know most of the memories of the 'original body', but they have evil intentions. Their ultimate goal is to kill their 'original body' and replace them.
"They are 'Mirror Person', the enemies who will appear at the special Mirror World."
Hearing Angel's words, Helene's face turned pale. She was half frightened and half confused and asked:
"Then how do you identify them? For example... you go to the island to explore, but will the one who comes back be the same 'Mirror Person'?"
He was able to draw inferences from one instance so quickly, and he even pointed the example at my head... Angel cursed, shook his head and said:
"They shouldn't be able to 'copy' a target with divinity. In other words, even if it's my 'Mirror Person', it will only be Sequence 5 at most, and it doesn't have Beyonder Characteristic and has incomplete abilities. You can deal with it.
"As for your own 'Mirror Person', you can only rely on concentrated defense on the ship. Except for me, if anyone you know appears near the ship, attack and kill them immediately."
Helene nodded to express understanding, and then walked towards Sailor Chief William, seeming to be thinking about how to announce this somewhat shocking and terrifying information to Sailor.
Angel put "Rose Necklace" back on his neck to avoid encountering places where the soul of "Wind-blessed" was needed during exploration. Then he organized all weapons, Charm and Mystical Item, activated a glass window in the deck superstructure, and entered "Mirror World".
Just like Trier's "special place", even if it is inside the mirror, Angel can also enter "Mirror World inside Mirror World", which means that her "Mirror Substitution", "Mirror Traversal" and other abilities are retained, and even enhanced here.
Living in the dark and silent Mirror World, Angel followed the few Mirror Tunnel to the inside of the island and emerged from a narrow mirror.
Above her head was the scorching sun that was gradually tilting to the east, and under her feet was the soft sandy beach. The sound of waves crashing against the coast could be heard in her ears, and the salty smell could be heard in her nose.
Not far away on the sea, the "Red Haired Woman" painted in bright red lowered its anchor chain, and the Sailors were busy on the deck. Several Sailors looking around with telescopes had obviously discovered the Angel, and they were dancing and pointing here.
At her feet, a mirror left by an unknown person was inserted diagonally into the sand. The copper base was corroded by the sea fog and turned an ugly green. The mirror surface was mottled and could barely reflect the figure of Angel.
It seems that this was left behind by a "desperate" Demoness who was seeking promotion like me. I just don't know whether she was successfully promoted and became a member of the senior management of "Demoness Sect", or whether she died on this island due to some accident and left behind this mirror...
Angel thought about it, walked on the beach, found a place where he could avoid Sailor's sight, lowered his head and prayed to Mr. "Fool".
"Fool who does not belong to this era, Mysterious Ruler who is above Gray Fog...
"... I pray to you, ask for your blessing, ask for your help..."
After waiting for a moment, Angel did not feel the blessing of Angel, who had a vague figure but had twelve pairs of wings, nor did he see the shadow of Mr. Fool hidden in Gray Fog.
This confirmed to her that this piece of Special Mirror World was the same as Trier of Fourth Epoch, and could not get in touch with that mysterious existence.
Then, Evernight Goddess should not be able to answer my prayer...
Although this idea is somewhat disrespectful to Goddess, Angel found that "Fool" responded more actively than "Goddess" most of the time. If the former did not make any move, the latter usually would not help.
Is this the difference between the newly awakened ancient god and God, who has become one of the righteous gods and has hundreds of millions of followers?
Putting aside some blasphemous thoughts in his mind, Angel still performed a standard prayer, offered prayers to Goddess, and asked for help, but as expected, he got nothing.
After realizing that she could only fight alone, she walked towards the depths of the island with half regret and half excitement.
Angel has done this several times since coming to this world to explore uninhabited islands.
But several times before, she worked with Klein, "Hanged Man" Alger and others to divide the work and cooperate with Nameless Island with clear goals, so she gained a lot of money both times.
But this time, she can only rely on herself.
Of course, in terms of strength, she has also improved qualitatively from what she was a few months ago. Just having handy melee weapons has made Angel's combat effectiveness rise to a whole level. If she encounters "Despair" who has just been promoted to "Despair" on this island, and " Marionettist" Klein and "Ocean Songster" Alger explore Nameless Island's self together. She is sure to fight one against three and end the battle within one minute.
"This is not pride and complacency, but a clear understanding of one's own strength..."
Angel murmured, looking through the mist in the forest and looking deeper.
She had now reached the middle of this not-so-big island. The cliffs she saw on the sea surface were the bulges on the edge of the central basin of the island. The closer to the center, the lower and gentler the island's terrain became. This made the entire island look like a teacup floating on the water, and she was about to reach the bottom of the cup.
This kind of terrain is unlikely to form naturally. Either the entire island was created by extraordinary power, just like the island created by Adam "Imagination", or it is because the body has been "Mirror World" and is not affected by the environment, so it will not be washed repeatedly by thousands of years of waves, forming a gentle beach.
At this point, it also corresponds to the image of "Unaging"... Is it a coincidence or the influence of extraordinary power?
While he was thinking about it, Angel suddenly noticed a hazy shadow appearing in the woods beside him.
It was not a shadow formed by the fog in the forest blocking the sunlight, but a completely dark object that seemed to absorb light. It slowly squirmed and approached Angel from the ground that was difficult to reach.
If she hadn't been sending out spider silk as she moved forward, sensing the movement around her, it would have been impossible to detect the ambush of this shadow.
The creeping shadow is very similar to the "Secrets Suppliant" Pathway Beyonder Ability mastered by "Aurora Order"... I have dealt with several of their "Oracle", and each one will incorporate the shadow escape technique...
Angel's expression remained unchanged, his movements remained the same, walking slowly through the woods, but Spirituality had already locked onto the approaching shadow behind him.
Just when the shadow was less than 20 meters away from Angel, and the movement could hardly be concealed, she suddenly pulled out the "Mirror World" not long after she got it, and cast the "Angelica's Edge" with Iron-Blooded Knight Beyonder Characteristic. She swung the flaming sword edge, turned around at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye, and rushed towards the shadow.
At the same time, the shadow suddenly jumped up from the ground and squirmed to form a tall knight wearing black full-body armor.
He held the wide and long Greatsword, pointed the tip of the sword to the ground, and shouted from under the full-face helmet:
"Please stop, I don't mean any harm!"
