Although the "Eye of Truth" has been severely Corruption, and once worn, one may hear the voices of certain Hidden Being and suffer unavoidable negative effects, Lumian believes that within Fourth Epoch Trier, there is a very strong seal that isolates it from external influences. Even the Gift of the Evil God cannot return to the mother body, so it is unlikely that one would hear the murmurs of the "Hidden Sage."

In other words, here, especially in the Fourth Epoch Trier within the mirror, using the "Eye of Truth" should have no Negative Effect.

Of course, it's possible that Pathway "Mystery Pryer"Angel or those with residual divine power perished here. Wearing the "Eye of Truth" still carries the risk of hearing things one shouldn't. Therefore, Lumian didn't plan to use it for too long. He intended to find Gardner Martin in the mirror and remove the Mystical Item as soon as he had the chance.

Through the lenses pressed against his eyes, which appeared to be covered in numerous purple veins, Lumian saw almost invisible "Spider Silk" swaying gently around Franca, subtly influencing the "Person in the Mirror" like Male Jenna.

Similarly, Male Franca also produced a large amount of "Spider Silk," completely unrestricted by the name "Witch."

Lumian also saw that the area was covered with tiny, snake-like Black Hair, which seemed to gently caress every living thing that touched them, and their Source seemed to be the giant black pillar that stretched into the sky.

At the same time, Lumian's left eye reflected Gardner Martin in the mirror.

He was hiding to the side of a Grayish-White Stone Pillars, seemingly Invisibility.

Without hesitation, Lumian activated the Black Mark on his right shoulder for the fifth time after becoming an "Ascetic".

Wearing the "Eye of Truth," his figure vanished instantly, disappearing behind Gardner in the Mirror.

A smirk appeared on his face as he swung his right fist at the enemy who had just realized he had been exposed and Future to react.

His hands were covered with Iron-Black gauntlets with multiple short spikes.

"Torture"!

Just as Gardner in the Mirror was about to lunge forward, transforming into Blazing White Spear and flying to the opposite side to create distance, he was punched behind the ear by Lumian.

In his haste, he could only let his body, as if boneless, suddenly shrink downwards, intending to continue with a roll.

Bang!

Lumian slammed his right fist down, striking Gardner in the Mirror.

The blow left the opponent's shoulder a bloody mess, causing his body to lurch and nearly lose his balance.

Gardner in the Mirror fighting skills were very strong, took the opportunity to fall to the ground and turn his body around.

He wasn't afraid of encountering the ability that emitted white light, nor was he worried about being shot in the head.

He also has a "Mirror Substitute"!

As Lumian lunged at him, his Iron-Black gauntlets still stained with blood, Gardner in the Mirror laughed, his eyes revealing obvious Greed.

This time, Lumian chose to incite "greed"!

Suddenly, Gardner in the Mirror burst Flames Blazing White, transforming into a long spear that charged towards Lumian.

At this distance, he didn't think Lumian could avoid the attack.

Choosing close combat comes with the consequences: the inability to even fully utilize "Spirit World Traversal"!

Lumian had no way to dodge, nor did he intend to. He simply adjusted his posture hastily and watched as the Blazing White spear struck his right chest.

He had a strong defense against the burning Flames; it took the Blazing White spear nearly two seconds to burn through his skin and flesh.

Lumian maintained a smile throughout; the pain only caused his expression to become somewhat Distortion, befitting a "Ascetic."

Anthony Reid's previous "Soothing" did calm him down, but the rekindled psychological issues still lingered for a short period of time.

With two loud bangs, he seized the opportunity and threw a punch each to the left and right, slamming them into the Blazing White Spear.

He seizes every opportunity to ignite Gardner in the Mirror.

Finally, the Blazing White spear pierced through Lumian's right chest and flew more than ten meters away.

Lumian still wore that slightly manic smile. Wearing a silver ear clip, he withdrew his right hand, pressed it against the horrific wound on his chest, and slid it down sharply.

The wound immediately moved to his abdomen, and crimson Flames Reddish White, erupted from Lumian's palm, scorching the blurred flesh.

He traded the increased risk after the fact for a reduced impact on the current injury.

With this movement, his figure merged into the void once more.

Just as Gardner emerged from the shattered, Blazing White Flame Spear in the Gardner in the Mirror, Lumian appeared behind him.

Bang! Bang!

Lumian swung his fist again, striking Gardner in the Mirror, giving the "Person in the Mirror" no chance to catch his breath.

The reason he didn't target the opponent's vital points, but instead attacked these insignificant areas, was because he was worried that excessive damage would trigger the "Mirror Substitute."

When Gardner transformed into Blazing White Spear to attack Lumian in the Gardner in the Mirror, the Female Lumian who wanted to "Teleportation" over to help paused for a moment, as if she had briefly lost her sentience.

Similarly, Male Franca and Male Jenna had similar reactions, seemingly becoming unreal for a moment.

This gave Franca and Jenna were in a difficult situation, a chance to catch their breath.

Although they didn't immediately understand the reason, they keenly realized that Gardner in the Mirror was the key to the problem.

It was Lumian's attack on this dominant figure that brought about such Change!

The experienced Franca immediately said to Jenna, who was not far away, "Give me that arrow, cough,!"

She must rely on the powerful self-healing ability of the "Bloodsucker’s Arrow" to fight the infected disease, recover to a relatively good state within a certain period of time, and do her best to hold off the "Person in the Mirror" such as Female Lumian, creating the best environmental conditions for Lumian to fight Gardner in the Mirror.

She only hoped that Lumian could bring about positive Change before the infection worsened, the disease deteriorated further, and even the body's self-healing ability could no longer provide effective relief.

Jenna originally wanted to use "Bloodsucker’s Arrow" herself, even though she had only used it twice and using it again could potentially cause her body to collapse. But at this moment, she couldn't care less about such things.

However, after hearing Franca's request, she hesitated only slightly before tossing the Obsidian Broken Arrow to Franca, without trying to be brave.

In her view, Franca, being both Sequence 6 "Pleasure Witch" and possessing numerous Mystical Item, was far stronger than herself. Allowing her to briefly recover was more beneficial to the current battle than forcing herself to endure it.

As soon as Fuhe-Tu-Shulanka caught the "Bloodsucker’s Arrow," he immediately plunged it into his chest.

She saw that the Female Lumian in the Person in the Mirror, including Lumian, had recovered and regained their liveliness.

Without a sound, the blue Eyes of Lake Franca turned red, the rubber band holding her ponytail snapped as if corroded, and her Linen-Colored hair floated in mid-air, adding a touch of eerie beauty to her.

Her increasingly frequent coughing subsided temporarily, and the invisible "Spider Silk" that had been slowly and quietly Entanglement Male Franca, Male Jenna, and Female Lumian no longer tightened, binding them layer by layer.

Like a mirror image, Franca and Jenna also felt their bodies become heavy and their hands and feet were bound.

The Male Franca also secretly used "Spider Silk" from the beginning, and only after successfully Entanglement the "spider web" layer by layer without any outward manifestation did he drag the "spider web" away from the water.

In that instant, Franca and the others were trapped in place. Only the Female Lumian had just been "Teleportation" here and was least affected by the "Spider Silk." Moreover, she was skilled in using Flames and quickly activated "Spirit World Traversal" in a crimson light, heading to the battlefield where Lumian and Gardner in the Mirror were.

On the other side, taking advantage of Female Anthony's brief moment of hesitation, Anthony was finally able to launch a counterattack.

He raised the automatic Pistol he had bought on the black market, and, suppressing a terrible cough and a fever that was making him dizzy, pulled the trigger on the "Person in the Mirror" who was clearly more Charm than himself.

At this moment, no one disturbed their "mutual slaughter".

Amidst the clatter of gunshots, Female Anthony shattered into countless pieces.

After her figure reappeared nearby, she didn't rush to rescue Gardner in the Mirror, but instead, fueled by her surging desire for achievement, continued chasing Anthony.

Amidst the sounds of flesh colliding, Lumian delivered a series of punches to Gardner in the Mirror, causing the Beyonder to writhe in pain and rage.

His Greed desires made him reluctant to give up the other four "Person in the Mirror" and the favorable situation on other battlefields, but if he didn't give them up, he couldn't concentrate on dealing with Lumian, and he was restricted in every way, which put him in a very passive position.

This is why Lumian chose to incite his "greed"!

Bang!

Lumian clasped his hands together and slammed them hard against Gardner in the Mirror.

In the Gardner in the Mirror was slammed to the ground, instinctively conjuring a large number of Reddish-White Fireball around him.

This caused the Female Lumian, who had just been "Teleportation" there, to be "stunned" once again.

Lumian was not afraid of the Reddish-White Fireball and Teleportation directly to Gardner in the Mirror.

The safest place is, of course, where the user is!

Amidst the deafening explosions, Lumian, enduring excruciating pain in his back, punched Gardner in the Mirror in the face once more.

The short barbs on the surface of the Iron-Black boxing gloves pierced the skin and embedded themselves into the flesh.

Suddenly, Gardner Martin's gaze froze in the Gardner in the Mirror, blood flowing from his eyes, nose, and other places.

His pent-up lust for books was ignited, which did not cause death or unconsciousness, but only made him weak and momentarily disoriented.

In this trance, whether it was the Female Lumian, the Male Franca, the Male Jenna, or the Female Anthony, they all froze in place, their bodies rapidly fading, becoming more and more transparent, until they disappeared.

Seeing this, Lumian straightened up, took off the "Torture" gauntlets, and tossed one to each of Franca and Jenna.

Franca immediately understood Lumian's meaning upon seeing the blood residue on the surface.

She smeared her hands with blood, took out a Mirror, and prepared to cast Curse.

Lumian chose to use the "Torture" gloves for three reasons:

First, the ability to arouse desire will not trigger the "Mirror Substitute." Second, if there is no other way later, this Mystical Item can also attract the attention of dangerous beings, bringing about Change that can create chaos, and chaos may contain life.

Thirdly, it is an opportunity to "collect" the medium of the Curse —the target's blood!

Even if greed gets out of control and eventually triggers Gardner's "Mirror Substitute" in the Gardner in the Mirror, Lumian will take advantage of the brief impact on the other "Person in the Mirror" to Torture the "Torture" gauntlets to Franca and Jenna, and then help them intercept the attack.

With blood on your hands, Curse you again and again, to see how many times you can use the "Mirror Substitute" and whether you can find a chance to sever ties!

Flames erupted around Lumian, and he detached himself from the area as Fireball, creating distance between himself and Gardner in the Mirror.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to remove the "Eye of Truth," he suddenly heard a strange sound beside his ear.
