Flying towards the Magic Mirror he put on the "Red Haired Woman", Angel soon came to the sea, walked out from Mirror World, and landed on a pile of The center of the deck where Sailor was on guard was instantly pointed at by several single-shot rifles and revolvers. Even Helene nervously drew out a Flame Spear. He didn't feel relieved until he saw clearly that the person coming was his boss.
"There seems to be a small-scale battle in the center of the island. Are you there?"
She dispersed the flame in her hand, letting Sailor continue to be on guard, and then asked in a low voice.
Angel first stroked the "mirror fragment" that could sense Mirror Person in his hand. His eyes swept over all Sailor, including William, Tia, and even Siren Ariel among the Bucket who looked at this side curiously. It was not until the palm of his hand did not feel the vibration of the fragment that he breathed a sigh of relief and answered:
"Yeah, there was a little trouble."
She was worried that "Trick Sorcerer" was observing "Red Haired Woman" through divination or Demoness's Magic Mirror, so she spoke in an extremely cold tone and quickly ordered:
"Drive the ship toward the thick fog in the distance, anchor again at the edge, stay as far away from the island as possible, and continue to be alert for the possible appearance of 'Mirror Person' until I come back."
Her different tone from usual made Helene stunned for a moment. He quickly reacted, nodded, and did not continue the conversation. Instead, he commanded a group of Sailor businesslikely to pull up the heavy anchor chain, raise the sail, and slowly set sail in the breeze, heading farther away from the island.
At the same time, Angel is also thinking about the next action.
The safest and safest way is undoubtedly to re-establish Ice Mirror now, bring yourself and "Red Haired Woman" back to Physical World, and then make plans.
After returning to reality, she was able to contact Klein and asked this "Trick Sorcerer" to wear Qi equipment and lead Marionette Teleportation goes to this sea area, and when the sun penetrates the thick fog again at noon tomorrow and reflects Mirror World, he will fight back to the island in the mirror where "Fountain of Youth" is located, find the body of "Trick Sorcerer", and solve this big trouble.
The only question is whether continuing to drag it will attract the attention of "Demoness Sect"?
The Trick Sorcerer stationed here seems to have a certain degree of tacit understanding with those Demonesss, and will hunt the wild "Despair" Demoness in order to obtain certain benefits... There is a high possibility that the "Despair" Marionette is waiting to be caught on the island.
If Angel leaves like this, will the other party contact "Demoness Sect" and send the real "Unaging" Demoness, or even the Angels from Sequence 2? If you miss this precious opportunity, when will you have to wait until next time to enter this Mirror World?
Looking at the silent island in the distance surrounded by sea water, Angel silently crossed out this option.
Another option is to stay here and deal with "Trick Sorcerer" and his Marionettes as soon as possible.
In the short battle just now, Angel has confirmed all the Sequence of Marionette on the other side, including one Grazing "Black Knight" of "Imperative Mage", a "desperate" Demoness, and a blond young man who is most likely "Winner".
Except for "Winner" who was blocked by "Hidden Holy Emblem" and could hardly interfere with her, Black Knight and Demoness of Despair attacked and defended. The former was close Containing Angel, the latter resisted her disease ability and occasionally cast curses remotely, pointing out that Angel was hiding in Mirror World's location, suppressing her in all aspects.
Not to mention "Trick Sorcerer" himself, who never took action. He only repeatedly influenced Spirit Body Threads, trying to make Angel fall into a state of stagnant thinking and difficulty in moving, but did not show up in person to join the battle.
Of course, for a "Trick Sorcerer", this tactic is very reasonable. Marionettes can use his Beyonder Ability without inferiority, but he cannot obtain Marionette's Mirror Substitution, full-body armor or extreme Luck, standing in a row with several Marionette, maybe the main body is the weakest one.
However, this cannot explain that when Angel left the core area of the island where "Fountain of Youth" was located, the other party did not continue to chase.
This suspicion became more and more obvious when Angel reviewed all her actions on the isolated island, especially the strange behavior of "Black Knight" who pretended to invite Angel to the center of the island and did not launch an attack until she left the dense forest and entered the edge of the grass where "Fountain of Youth" could be seen. This made her confirm that "Trick Sorcerer" was hiding in the center of the grass.
That is under the boulder where "Fountain of Youth" is located.
It's about a hundred meters away from the junction between the grassland and the dense forest. So, "Trick Sorcerer" wants to lead me to a position where he can personally control Spirit Body Threads, and make the most secure preparations before starting the war? Could it be that he was completely unable to move on his own, not even able to exchange places with Marionette...
Angel was thinking, and a bold idea gradually came to mind:
The body of "Trick Sorcerer", due to some very special reasons, can only stay in "Fountain of Youth" and cannot move.
This seems very strange. Why does a "Seer" Demigod stay in the spring where Demonesss were promoted to Sequence 3 for a long time? He even reached an agreement with "Demoness Sect" and took the initiative to help them deal with the Wild Witch and other Pathway Beyonder who broke in, but only spared the "desperate" Demoness who belonged to the sect and was in urgent need of promotion?
Due to physical reasons, he has to go through "Fountain of Youth" for a long time to extend his life, or is it some kind of need for promotion? For example, you have to live for hundreds of years and then drink Potion from "Scholar of Yore"?
Thinking of the name "Scholar of Yore", Promotion Ritual of "Unaging" inexplicably appeared in Angel's mind, and Spirituality was touched.
Maybe both guesses are right. "Trick Sorcerer" needs to take Potion after he becomes an "ancient person" to be promoted, and this requires a long life. Only "Fountain of Youth" can give him this opportunity. Once he leaves the spring, maybe all his efforts will be in vain!
And this was the breakthrough for Angel to defeat him.
It wasn't until "Red Haired Woman" slowly left the island and stationed near the fog surrounding the edge of this Mirror World that Angel made a complete battle plan. She took out the dangerous "Parasite" gloves from her own Mirror World and put them on her left hand. Looking at the black leather gloves covering her fair skin, the worry in her heart gradually subsided.
The important reason why she did not carry this Mystical Item with her was because the "Parasite" gloves had the negative effect of causing her to randomly lose other Mystical Item on her body. Moreover, this was a Demigod-level ability that was difficult to avoid. If she wore it for a long time, she might inexplicably drop the "Angelica's Edge" in some strange corner.
This is not like the negative effects of the "hypocrisy" ring. The problem that long-term wearing will affect intelligence has been resisted by her divinity. Even if she wears it for a whole day, Angel does not feel that her IQ has dropped at all.
After shaking his gloved hand, Angel glanced indifferently at Helene, who was approaching again, got directly into Mirror World, and disappeared on the deck of "Red Haired Woman".
Sorry, Helene... Angel muttered, followed Mirror Tunnel quickly back to the island, and appeared on the beach where he first landed.
She pretended to be unfamiliar with the crew of "Red Haired Woman", mainly because she was worried that when "Trick Sorcerer" had to leave "Fountain of Youth" at the end of the battle, she would use them as hostages to threaten Angel, and even directly transformed the entire ship's Sailor into Marionette as revenge.
But it may be too late to pretend to be unfamiliar now. Maybe we will fall in the eyes of "Trick Sorcerer" as soon as we come to this special Mirror World...
She thought helplessly, using invisible threads as a means of movement, quickly crossed the dense jungle, came to the grassland in the center of the island, and stopped 150 meters away, which was close to where she suspected "Trick Sorcerer" was hiding.
Quietly, "Black Knight" walked out from behind a tree.
He was still dressed in black armor, his eyes glowed bright red inside the full-face helmet, and his hands were empty, not holding Greatsword.
But Angel knows that as long as he needs it, he can condense weapons with flesh and shadow at any time, and even release "Imperative Mage", ignite the flames to attract "Despair" Demoness, and start a battle like the one just now.
"Where are the other Marionette? Why don't they show up?"
Angel saw that Black Knight did not attack immediately, so he took the initiative to speak.
At this time, "Trick Sorcerer" hidden behind the scenes must be secretly controlling her Spirit Body Threads, but based on previous combat experience, this process is much longer than Klein's usual process of trying to Provocation her Spirit Body Threads, so he will definitely let Black Knight use dialogue to delay time.
"This is our way of expressing 'goodwill'," as expected, a dull tone of "Black Knight" came from below the visor. "After the battle just now, I think you also discovered that neither of us can solve each other in a short time, and there is no essential conflict between us... Therefore, I thought of a way to get the best of both worlds."
"Let me take away the spring water of 'Fountain of Youth' and keep 'Demoness Sect' a secret?"
Angel chuckled and asked.
"No, it has nothing to do with the Demoness Sect. The person you want to keep secret is the entire world. I don't want anyone to know that a 'Trick Sorcerer' is here at Slumber Charm, and the contract of 'Imperative Mage' can guarantee this."
The agreement between the two was made by Arbiter who was Grazing Demigod comes to ensure... It sounds like a good suggestion. If I hadn't been infected by the hidden "despair" Demoness disease, I would almost believe it... Angel sneered in his heart, and also used the ability to control "disease" to defend. At the same time, he was looking for the location of "Trick Sorcerer", but his expression was moved by it, and he asked with interest:
"Demoness Sect should know about your existence. How do they ensure that the information is not leaked?"
The moment the question came out of his mouth, Angel felt that he had fallen into a state of thinking Slowing and had difficulty moving. Almost at the same time, a ball of Black Flame ignited in front of him., and then the flames exploded. Black Knight stepped out of Black Flame in the distance, and Greatsword in her hand took shape while slashing straight at her.
"Spirit Flesh Blade"!
Greatsword, who was able to cross the stand and attack the main body, even attack Mirror World, instantly split Angel in half. As the fragments flew, her figure also appeared in another direction, with a huge bone-deep wound from her left shoulder to her chest. The internal wound was flat and not a drop of blood flowed out, as if the wound was just a phantom.
But Angel felt like Spirit Body was being torn apart, his head exploded with a bang, and it was almost impossible to sustain the disease spreading to the surrounding areas.
She gritted her teeth, took off the string of strange and eye-catching soldier puppets from her belt, and threw them in front of her.
"Reaper Legion", start!
An armored soldier with an imposing manner no less impressive than "Black Knight" instantly appeared between the two, holding various weapons and standing in two rows, blocking the former who was holding Greatsword and was about to rush forward to hit him.
Bang——
A huge impact sound came, and a Reaper was knocked away with his sword, but Black Knight was also forced to stop, and was surrounded in an instant. Broad swords and spears burning with flames were thrust at him, and Black Knight, who was unable to hide, was transformed into an exquisite Paper Figurine.
With the help of these "minions", Angel finally recovered from being seriously injured by "Spirit Flesh Blade". She resisted the illusory roar that destroyed her thoughts and looked at the "withered" vegetation in the middle of the grass, the boulder, and the pool of water under the stone.
Through the distribution of other animals and insects, as well as "Despair" Demoness's secret obstruction of the disease, she has confirmed the location of "Trick Sorcerer", which is deep in the pool under the huge rock!
But neither the curse nor the disease could affect "Trick Sorcerer" who was protected by another Sequence, Demoness. Angel could only turn his attention to Black Knight, who used "Paper Figurine Substitute" to escape the encirclement.
At this time, far away from the battlefield, the figure of "Despair" Demoness wearing a hooded robe was outlined.
She created an invisible plague and floated it in the direction of the wind towards the heavily armored "Reaper Legion", only to find that these lifeless "soldier puppets" were difficult to be corroded by disease, and the high temperature on their weapons could drive away most germs, making them completely unaffected by disease in a short period of time.
At this moment, at the edge of the dense forest, a crouching figure appeared behind the tree.
The blond "Winner" eyes swept over Demoness who held up the flaming Straight Sword, and then immediately focused on his two teammates.
In the battle half an hour ago, he had tried to give "Misfortune" to the opponent many times, but found that it had no effect. This was not caused by the gap between Sequence 5 and Demigod, but by the interference of some higher-level ability.
Therefore, he can only pass "Luck" to his companions to give them a certain advantage.
In his sight, Black Knight Luck avoided the siege of three "Reaper", and slashed at Demoness who was caught off guard. "Spirit Flesh Blade" accurately hit her fragile body.
But except for a few Reapers who swayed unsteadily a few times, this blow didn't cause much damage!
It is the "connection" of "Iron-Blooded Knight"...
"Trick Sorcerer", who controls everything, has an inner understanding. She knows that it is almost impossible to severely damage the "Despair" Demoness in this state. Only by stopping this connection through "Prohibition" can "Spirit Flesh Blade", which cuts off the body and annihilates Spirituality, completely kill the opponent.
In front of Angel, "Black Knight" did not hesitate to drive the shadow under its feet, letting it stand up unsteadily beside itself, forming the silhouette of "Imperative Mage", which was completely black.
"Forbidden Here..."
As soon as the majestic Ancient Hermes came out of his mouth, Angel raised his left hand, held it with the five fingers of Black Gloves, and then twisted it outward.
In front of her eyes, several illusory light balls appeared, with various colors and breaths representing different abilities, flashing rapidly.
As the soul of "Grazing", "Imperative Mage" only has four or five abilities at this time, and all of them have been chosen by Angel!
As the contractor of "Balancer" Anne, Angel is as familiar with this Pathway as "Seer" Pathway.
She decisively chose the dark light ball that represented the ability of "Deprivation", held it in her hand, and then "Imperative Mage" shouted to interrupt her contact with "Reaper Legion". When she lost the power to share the damage, the figure shattered and dissipated, and appeared in front of "Despair" Demoness again.
"Deprivation!"
She used her newly acquired abilities to Deprivation control of the other party's "disease".
One of the two disease "forces" that had been fighting each other in the air dissipated in an instant, and the other side took the absolute advantage. The deadly occult disease surged like a tide, infecting all the birds, animals, and insects on the entire island, whether they were innocent bystanders or accomplices of Marionettization!
The most important thing is that under the boulder in the center of the island, the "Trick Sorcerer" that has been under protection has also been infected with a fatal disease.
This mystical connection allowed Angel to immediately find the exact location of the opponent. She took out Charm without hesitation and pressed it towards Demoness in front of her.
Poof, with a slight explosion of flames, the figure of Demoness appeared next to "Reaper" whose weapon was burning not far away, but the next second, her position was returned to the original place by Angel "Stealing".
A cold Charm pressed between her proud breasts wrapped in a robe, and a desperate destructive power instantly surged out.
"Betrayal!"
As the obscure word Ancient Hermes reverberated, the transparent insect body embedded with twelve links, Charm, which looked like a purple crystal sheet, disintegrated, and invisible power surged out instantly.
But at this moment, Angel's eyes were dazzled, and the body of Demoness, which felt good to the touch, turned into "Winner" Marionette with short blond hair and an expressionless face.
The two Marionette exchanged positions!
"Trick Sorcerer" thinks that the Charm in my hand is very scary and cannot be resisted, and his other Marionette animals died of the disease, so he can only temporarily exchange Marionette, making it useless in the battle. "Winner" died instead of "desperate" Demoness, retaining the last hope against the fatal disease... Various thoughts kept flashing through Angel's mind, and he understood the enemy's approach of replacing Marionette at this time.
But to her, none of that mattered.
"Destiny!"
She shouted again with Ancient Hermes and activated another Charm in her hand.
That's right, she is holding two Charm, and one of them is the special "Luck Stealer" Charm made for her by Klein, which can lock targets with diseases, curses and other abilities.
At this time, in the depths of "Fountain of Youth", the position of "Trick Sorcerer" perceived by Angel due to the disease and "Winner" in front of her suddenly dimmed, like a dark cloud drifting under the scorching sun.
After the dark clouds passed, everything on the grass in the center of the island seemed to be the same as before.
Five "Reaper" worked together to resist the attack of "Black Knight". They did not have Spirit Body and were not afraid of "Spirit Flesh Blade", but they fell one by one in the "Execution" of "Imperative Mage"; "Despair" Demoness and "Winner" exchanged places and appeared at the edge of the border between grassland and dense forest. The other "Reaper" were rushing towards her with weapons in hand; between the two, Angel stretched out his right hand and pressed it on the chest of the expressionless "Winner" Marionette.
But the "betrayal" has occurred.
Angel slowly lowered her right hand. In front of her, "Winner"'s mouth and nose continued to emit high-temperature black flames, and her body was crumbling.
"Despair" Demoness was pierced through the chest with a spear by the armored soldier rushing at the front. It did not turn into a thin Paper Figurine or a broken mirror. Blood gurgled from the tip of the spear and was immediately pierced by more weapons.
"Black Knight" stopped waving Greatsword in his hand, and inserted different broadswords, scimitars and spears on his chest and back. "Harvest" ability was activated one after another, causing pieces of the black armor he was wearing to collapse, revealing a weathered but still handsome face underneath. His bright red eyes looked forward without any emotion and slowly closed.
His "Grazing" "Imperative Mage" returned to a shadow, covering the black knight's body again. Countless flesh and blood surged up. The various souls of his "Grazing" seemed to be about to leave his body, and the remaining body underwent unknown changes.
All "Marionette" were completely disconnected from Spirit Body Threads at this moment, lost contact with "Trick Sorcerer", and became puppets without any resistance.
Of course, if Trick Sorcerer is given a certain amount of time, he may be able to rein in Spirit Body Threads and let Marionette, who "betrayed" him, return to his command, but now he does not have such time.
Following violent coughs, a thin and slender figure emerged from the slowly flowing spring water under the boulder in the center of the island. He, no, she coughed violently, and dark red and almost black blood overflowed from her mouth and nose. She managed to sit up halfway, but had no more strength to leave the water.
"Trick Sorcerer" who lost all Marionette, was infected with a fatal disease, and even had no trace of his body left, and not even a single Paper Figurine was left, finally revealed his true form in front of Angel.
She is about 20 years old, with long bright blond hair hanging casually behind her back, and exquisite facial features, which match her face shape and create a breathtaking beauty, making Angel feel like she has met Demoness from High Sequence.
No, that is most likely just the modification made by this woman Trick Sorcerer to her appearance with the ability of "Faceless"... Angel muttered, not because of the other party's loss. After losing the ability to resist, he held back, and immediately used the water surface of "Fountain of Youth" to flash in front of the woman, and raised the "Angelica's Edge" which felt hot in the hand and had blue flames on the blade.
"Wait, wait a minute..."
Demigod, who was seriously injured by disease and "betrayal", murmured.
At the same time, Angel once again felt "sluggish" and realized that his Spirit Body Threads was being held by the other party. After realizing that after leaving "Fountain of Youth", this Trick Sorcerer resumed the normal speed of controlling Spirit Body Threads, got into "Mirror World" without hesitation, and left the false double to the other party.
The next second, she returned to reality, appeared behind the opponent, stabbed out a sword, and plunged into the suddenly rising flames.
The figure of Trick Sorcerer appeared in the distance next to the unextinguished black flame of "Winner".
She still has the energy left to use "Flaming Jump"!
Angel looked at the other person's emerging position with cold eyes, raised his left hand lightly, and held his five fingers slightly.
This distance was directly "stolen", and the naked woman appeared again next to "Fountain of Youth" and in front of Angel.
This time, she failed to avoid the "Angelica's Edge" that pierced her heart. The flaming sword tip penetrated from her back. The scorching flame instantly scorched the wound without letting a drop of blood flow out.
But with a "click" sound that made Angel's teeth sore, the opponent's fair-skinned neck cracked with a circle of oozing scars. Then, her neck broke on its own, and her head flew up dragging her bloody spine. She floated a short distance with difficulty, and fell feebly into "Fountain of Youth".
The two chapters are combined into one, a big chapter of 6500 words...
No more tonight, sorry.
