"Walking into the Trap"
As Jenna cast the "Abyss Shackles" spell attached to "Bloodsucker’s Arrow," shadows and darkness came to life beside Nikila, who coughed again. Under the yellowish light of the Gas Wall Lamp, they solidified into black chains, Entanglement the "Moses Ascetic Order" member and binding him firmly in place, even gagging him.
Nikila was a highly experienced fighter, and immediately formed a slowly rotating Stellar Gravel in the palm of his right hand.
The light from the wall lamps in the room suddenly dimmed, just like the night outside.
In this dim light, a number of glittering stars emerged, not densely packed, but still quite numerous.
They scattered rays of light, which converged into a thick pillar of light that illuminated the entire room and enveloped Nikila himself.
The black chains formed by the "Abyss Shackles" vanished and disintegrated rapidly, like a shadow encountering Sunlight. Nikila also dissolved quickly within the beam of light, shattering into countless shards of glass.
"Mirror Substitute"!
Nikila, relying on his unique abilities, broke free from the "Abyss Shackles" in the shortest possible time by attacking himself. As an Beyonder of the "Mystery Pryer" Pathway, many of his spells required Incantation, and with his mouth sealed by chains, his abilities were severely limited.
Jenna used this to confirm that Nikila was the "Person in the Mirror".
A thick black mist emanated from behind her, and a pair of illusory, enormous Bat Wings sprouted from her.
Immediately afterwards, the "Wings of Darkness" conjured a swarm of unrealistic, palm-sized vampire bats that flew through the doors and walls toward Nikila, who had just been freed from the "Abyss Shackles".
At the same time, Anthony broke his "Psychological Invisibility," went to the door, and kicked open the Wooden Door.
He held a black Revolver with intricately designed Parts and a striking mechanical aesthetic in both hands, aiming it at Nikila.
Winter Is Coming!
Anthony is now preparing to use the "Certain Death" effect of this Beyonder weapon!
Of course, he wasn't really going to use it, because the opponent had a "Mirror Substitute" that was relatively fragile. It was the kind of opponent who might use its Stand ability prematurely if it encountered any attack that could hit it. This would cause the bullet that was bound to kill to hit the Substitute Mirror instead of producing the desired effect.
Anthony's current aim is to use the "Warlock '" exceptional spiritual foresight and ability to see secrets to make Nikila feel that his life is threatened, forcing him to use the Mirror World to escape.
According to Franca, Nikila, who is most likely Sequence 5 "Astrologer" of the "Mystery Pryer" Pathway and is suspected to be the "Person in the Mirror," would definitely be able to sense the danger of the "Winter Is Coming" Revolver immediately and then see that it is brewing a Divinity attack.
In order to more genuinely trigger the target's spiritual warning, Anthony needs to complete Psychological Suggestion in advance, which is a very simple thing for a "Hypnotist".
So Anthony is now really planning to fire, really preparing to use the "Certain Death" effect, but when his finger starts to pull the trigger, it will trigger the pre-set "Psychological Warning Line", the corresponding suggestion will be naturally removed, and he will fire a bullet normally.
Just as Franca had predicted, the moment Nikila saw the "Winter Is Coming" Revolver, a hint of deep purple involuntarily appeared in his pure black Eyes, reflecting the Decay and rotten aura Entanglement the weapon.
He suddenly had a feeling that he was slowly walking towards death; the itching in his throat became more intense, and his body began to feel weak.
This wasn't an effect of "Winter Is Coming" itself, but rather Change caused by the backlash from some force after the "Mystery Pryer" saw the "secret" of this Beyonder weapon. This perfectly complemented the Pathogens that Franca had spread by extending her hand through the Mirror, causing Nikila's condition to worsen instantly.
Without considering anything else, Nikila immediately had a Mirror remain in place in her place in her place.
Bang!
Anthony pulled the trigger, firing a bright yellow bullet that only had the effect of disease. It, along with the swarm of vampire bats, struck Nikila, making a cracking sound as it shattered.
Nikila, who appeared in another corner of the room, had no intention of fighting back; all she could think about was escaping as quickly as possible.
Firstly, he didn't know if there were only two attackers, and secondly, the danger posed by the gun kept him on edge.
Since the situation is unclear, and it is clear that the enemy possesses a Half-God- level weapon, then running away is the only option left!
Nikila immediately lunged at the nearest Mirror, hoping to escape the battle using the Mirror World.
Noticing his movements, Jenna slowed her attack, while Anthony's Eyes turned Golden, creating swirling Whirlpool that seemed to reach straight to the soul.
"Battle Hypnosis!"
This can forcibly hypnotize the enemy during combat, causing them to perform various abnormal actions. However, these actions cannot directly harm the hypnotized person and cannot be maintained for long, quickly losing their effect.
Anthony only wanted Nikila to switch to another Mirror to escape, which would at most delay Nikila's escape time and would not directly endanger him!
Nikila paused for a moment, suddenly realizing that the Mirror in front of her might be hiding a dangerous trap.
He immediately pulled out a Scroll inlaid with Gold Leaf from a row of Hidden Pocket inside his black wool coat and whispered a Hermetic Vocabulary:
"Sun!"
The Scroll was instantly engulfed by golden Flames, bursting forth with bright, dazzling Sunlight that turned all the vampire bats fluttering in the room into wisps of smoke.
This severely impaired Jenna and Anthony's vision, their eyes being filled with the bright Sunlight.
Nikila seized the opportunity, rolled over to the Full-Length Mirror in the living room, and pounced inside.
From the moment he was "Battle Hypnosis" to the moment he completed his escape, it only took two or three seconds.
The Sunlight quickly subsided, and Anthony nodded to Jenna.
Jenna immediately grabbed her companion's shoulder, activating the "Seven-Stone Bracelet" on her left wrist.
One of the two diamonds suddenly burst forth with a clear and bright brilliance, enveloping the two people inside.
The next Library, Jenna and Anthony were "Teleportation" into the Quarry Cavern that served as the entrance to the Mirror World, and placed their hands on the protruding rock.
As soon as Nikila stepped into the dark, empty area behind the Mirror, he couldn't stop coughing.
Diseases that have already been contracted cannot be eliminated through "Mirror Substitute".
"Cough cough cough!" As Nikila coughed violently, she felt her body being bound by layers of invisible threads.
"The Witch's Spider Silk?" Nikila was startled.
Jenna had been deliberately using the "Bloodsucker’s Arrow" ability to attack the "Person in the Mirror" in order to Concealment her identity as a "Witch" and prevent Nikila from thinking that she had been attacked by "Witch".
That would make him highly suspicious of a trap behind the Mirror, causing him to abandon the option of escaping using the Mirror World, thus rendering Anthony's "Battle Hypnosis" ineffective!
As Nikila's pupils dilated, she reflexively caused her right palm to condense slowly rotating, glittering Stellar Sand.
Before he could use his "Astrologer" abilities to destroy himself and the "Witch's " Spider Silk in this area, he felt some invisible threads gently teasing him. From his ears, face, chest, all the way down to his inner thighs, there were Fascination caresses and scratches.
This instantly made Nikila's blood boil, and his thoughts sank straight to the bottom.
Just as he was about to forcefully focus his mind and use his abilities, he saw a figure emerge from the edge of the spiderweb-like Tunnel.
The figure wore Black Robe with Leather Armor, Hood on his head was askew, revealing heroic and beautiful eyebrows, clear and bright Eyes like lake water, and Waterlight red lips.
This indescribable beauty and soul-stirring Charm made Nikila instinctively hold her breath, forgetting to resist and forgetting to break free from her restraints.
The Fascination of the "Witch of Pain"!
A strong warning of danger forced Nikila to barely break free from this intoxicating beauty. He gritted his teeth, suppressing the desires aroused by the stimulation and Fascination of his body, and was about to unleash the Whirlpool Stellar Sand in his palm.
Franca continued to use "Fascination," a slight smile playing on her lips. While revealing a smile that amazed Nikila, she stopped some of the Spider Silk from teasing her and changed her actions.
It's been changed to tickling!
"Hahaha, hahaha." Nikila's neck, armpits, waist, and other sensitive areas were attacked simultaneously, and he couldn't help but burst into laughter, laughing until tears streamed down his face.
If his body hadn't been bound by layers of Unseen Spider Silk, he would have retreated, Distortion, and rolled on the ground.
In this state, it would be difficult for Nikila to use any of his abilities.
Of course, his desire subsided as a result.
"I really feel like a black widow spider now, methodically processing the prey stuck in its web... At the ' Witch of Pain ' stage, the prey is truly bound by the web, and without the help of companions, it will be frequently affected by various factors, making it difficult to break free on its own... Unfortunately, this is ineffective against ' Hunter,' as they can unleash Flames from their bodies to burn away the web... I wonder when I will be able to directly transmit true Pleasure through the Spider Silk..." Franca remained vigilant, watching Nikila's maniacal laughter, and muttered to herself.
Her current strategy is very clear: to restrict the enemy, constantly interfere with his various efforts, and delay until his serious illness breaks out or he is completely Fascination.
During this process, even if Nikila actively uses the "Mirror Substitute," she will still be limited by distance, and her true form will still appear within the "Witch's " spider web covering the entire area, repeating her previous experience.
--In the past, Franca had already turned this place into a "Witch's" lair.
On one hand, she was constantly being tickled, and on the other hand, her desires were being aroused. Nikila was tossed and turned between Hell and Heaven, suffering extreme Pain.
That beautiful figure, seemingly forever out of reach, is like a vessel for all hopes and beautiful dreams.
Nikila knew he couldn't go on like this, so he bit his tongue hard to suppress his laughter.
The pain pierced his mind, briefly freeing him from all the influences.
He gripped the Whirlpool Stellar Sand tightly.
Within the void and darkness Mirror-Behind Region, one after another, dazzling stars lit up.
