"Regardless of whether the ' Black Witch ' provides any Mysticism knowledge, you should hold the Ritual in the next couple of days. I will help you forcibly locate and lock onto the ' Person in the Mirror.' Once this is done, I need to focus on finishing my manuscript." The "Magician" Lady said to Lumian beside her, hovering in the East Lonyay Forest of Chaillot Town.

You haven't even started writing yet, have you? You haven't written a single Vocabulary? And you said you even had the promotional slogan ready when you were Above the Gray Fog —did you just make one up on the spot? If that's the case, it's very difficult to finish "The Great Adventurer 7" in two weeks, unless you don't care about the quality... Lumian thought to himself thoughtfully.

At the end of yesterday's meeting, the "Magician" Lady promised in front of all the Major Arcana that she could deliver the manuscript for "The Great Adventurer 7" within two weeks.

Other Major Arcana also indicated they would adjust Gehrman Sparrow's image within their own spheres as soon as possible, with the most important being the actions to be taken by the Church the Fool:

Mr. "Sun" will convene bishops from various dioceses in batches to provide them with intensive theological training, enabling them to add corresponding interpretations and descriptions during Sermon without altering the Holy Scripture as much as possible.

Before Lumian could respond, the "Magician" Lady added:

"If you're really not ready to hold the Ritual yet, then wait two weeks."

"I am ready," Lumian, standing atop a large tree, Concealment by its Canopy's shadow.

At this point, Franca arrived at the Manor, which mainly grows grapes.

She saw Blanche Soren again, with her Orange-Red Long Hair, clean and innocent face, and a touch of wildness.

"Long time no see," Franca greeted with a smile.

Blanche glanced at her, then suddenly froze:

You look more beautiful.

"You're even more beautiful now." Franca looked at Blanche and thought her orange-red hair was a little darker, her features were more delicate, and the slight wildness in her temperament reminded people of young girls in the Primitive Tribe who could participate in Hunting.

Blanche withdrew her gaze, a hint of smugness in her voice as she chuckled softly, "I am already the ' Witch of Pain '."

"If this were at sea, he'd have a chance to be called a general," Franca complimented politely.

What do you call that? That's called having class!

Blanche largely agreed with this, but said aloud:

"I feel that Sequence 5 has become increasingly worthless in recent years."

When the Apocalypse come, apart from a few special Saint, perhaps only Angel can play a significant role... Franca suddenly sighed.

The two Witch chatted as they ventured deeper into the Manor, eventually arriving at the round pavilion nestled among numerous Grapevine and Vines.

The "Black Witch," wearing a dark blue hat and with her face partially obscured by a veil, which only Fascination, sat inside.

"Teacher, Franca is here," Blanche said softly as she stepped forward.

The "Black Witch" turned to the side and turned her gaze toward Franca.

"Good morning, Lady," Franca greeted with a smile, then said solemnly and Devout, "I have become the ' Witch of Despair,' under the watchful eyes of the gods."

"The Witch of Despair"? Sequence 4 Half-God? She's become Half-God? Blanche's beautiful Eyes widened in surprise.

When she met Franca, they were both just "Pleasure Witch," and in just over half a year, she's already reached Sequence 4?

This is a pivotal moment of transformation, the gateway to Divinity, the Primordial One line separating humanity and divinity—it's not something so easily crossed or pushed open.

The "Witch of Despair" of Sequence 4 are quite few in number even within the entire Witch Sect, enough to be considered high-ranking, but they are not yet able to enter the core level!

I thought my promotions were fast enough... Blanche was momentarily dazed and couldn't help but question the meaning of life.

The "Black Witch" showed no obvious emotional fluctuation. After Franca finished speaking, she nodded and said, "Thank you for God's favor, thank you for the Primordial Witch Gift."

"So you've accepted the revelation given by the ' Primordial Witch '?" Franca, who was always on the verge of fleeing the Witch Sect and was eager to make some quick money, said hastily, "After becoming the ' Witch of Despair,' I feel my connection with the ' Person in the Mirror ' has deepened, and it has also undergone some kind of Mutation. Could you teach me in detail about the Mysticism knowledge related to the ' Person in the Mirror '?"

The "Black Witch" glanced at Franca and said with a slight smile, "Now that you possess Divinity, you should indeed pay attention to this aspect."

Her gaze swept over Blanche, and she continued, "The Witch's ' Person in the Mirror ' always believes that it is the original, that it was separated from the original after drinking the ' Witch's ' Potion, Imprisonment in the Mirror World, and serves as Mirror Substitute and a medium for Mirror Magic. If you, who possess Divinity, believe this, your soul, personality, and spirit will be incomplete as a result. Not only will you never have any hope of reaching High-Sequence, but you will also have many problems in your daily life, and the risk of Loss of Control will become very high."

"The Witch's ' Person in the Mirror ' is actually a product of the combination of the power of the Potion and the rules of the Mirror World, and is closer to Mental Brand and soul projection."

This is completely different from Moran Avignon's statement that "the Witch's truest self is in the Mirror"... Although I prefer this one and am willing to accept it, the "Black Witch" probably hasn't told the whole truth. For example, why are the Mental Brand and soul projection in Men state? They've all become "Witch," their bodies and minds have changed... Hmm, Moran Avignon, as the "Person in the Mirror," certainly has biased views and opinions... Should we consider both? Franca listened quietly, instinctively thinking, without interrupting the "Black Witch's " narration.

The Black Witch's voice carried a complex tone, with a variety of emotions that were difficult to discern:

This is also one of the reasons why Men are more suited to the "Witch" Pathway.

"To further utilize the Mirror World, one must confront one's own ' Person in the Mirror,' and the ' Person in the Mirror ' of Men Witch is Men. Extreme, resentful, bitter, and Pain Men are more likely to be attracted to the Witch's Charm and thus become infatuated with us, hating us while simultaneously obeying us."

"The ' Person in the Mirror ' of Women Witch replaces desire, making it stronger and more difficult to control."

Is that even possible? You became the "Witch of Unaging" by Fascination your reflection in the mirror, making him infatuated with you? How does it feel to you? Franca thought to herself.

These Witch are so Distortion!

She thought for a moment and said sincerely, "Sooner or later, I'll have to face my own ' Person in the Mirror '?"

"Would he be willing to meet with me? I have a feeling he'd deliberately avoid me, using our Mysticism connection."

The "Black Witch" replied, "They will indeed avoid us. Although our ' Person in the Mirror ' will grow stronger as our strength increases, becoming equivalent to replicas of us in terms of ability, as the ' Person in the Mirror ' of Witch, they are naturally limited, constrained, and weakened by the Mirror World. They are like Prisoner wearing shackles, unable to perform normally, and are unlikely to be our opponents. Therefore, they will inevitably choose to escape."

"Only when you are weak enough and there are no traps around will you see him and face him."

"Remember, if you know, he knows."

"Would the ' Person in the Mirror ' see an opportunity? And we share memories and abilities?" Franca pondered for a few seconds and said, "I was in the Underground Trier, I entered a Special Mirror World, and encountered my own ' Person in the Mirror.' That time, he faced me face to face and didn't run away beforehand."

"The ' Person in the Mirror ' in the Special Mirror World is different from the ' Person in the Mirror ' Witch in the Mirror World; the latter is more useful to us," the "Black Witch" explained simply.

Franca asked for more details until the "Black Witch" stopped giving detailed answers.

She had no choice but to report on other matters:

"Louis of the Emperor Party, was quite agitated for a while, seemingly unable to contact a certain important figure, but recently he's returned to normal and hasn't shown any similar behavior."

"Very good, keep an eye on them." The Black Witch nodded slightly.

Franca took her leave, and was given permission.

The "Black Witch" watched her retreating figure silently until she and Blanche disappeared into the vineyard.

Inside the Luxury Villa.

Franca relayed the Mysticism knowledge taught by the "Black Witch" to Lumian and Jenna in detail.

"Is there Ritual today?" the "Magician" Lady asked after they finished their conversation.

"We can give it a try. We'll only know what the problems are after we try." Lumian, with his long, flowing black hair, stood up.

The "Magician" Lady smiled and said, "No rush, wait for me a moment."

As soon as he finished speaking, the Major Arcana opened a phantom Starlight Gate and stepped inside.

Not long after, she returned to the Luxury Villa.

She had changed her clothes and put on a dark black Warlock's Robe embroidered with silver Stars.

"Look in the Mirror, then use the ' Mirror Substitute '." The "Magician" Lady's speech quickened slightly, as if she couldn't maintain her current pace for long.

Under the watchful eyes of Franca and Jenna, Lumian walked to the Full-Length Mirror in the bedroom.

Looking at the radiant Witch reflected in the Mirror, he kept a cold expression and took the initiative to use the "Mirror Substitute".

As the clicking sound rang out, silver Stars lit up on the "Magician" Lady's Warlock Robe, more and more of them appearing.

The surrounding darkness then spread, and an illusory Starry Sky descended upon the room.

The dazzling Stars moved rapidly, forming a pointed and exceptionally complex Key.

This is a forced positioning based on the Mysticism connection between Lumian and his "Person in the Mirror," and on the "Person in the Mirror's " characteristic as a medium corresponding to Mirror Magic!

In just a second or two, Lady "Magician's" voice echoed faintly and diffusely:

"Found it."

The endless starlight then fell and disappeared into the Full-Length Mirror.

"I've temporarily imprisoned the target; you can Past," the "Magician" Lady immediately said to Lumian.

Her voice returned to normal.

Lumian nodded, stepped into the Full-Length Mirror, and followed the Guidance to travel into the Depths of the Mirror World.
