Certain Death
The dark yellow bullet flew in an instant and struck the Resurrected Female Corpse.
However, it passed right through, leaving only the swaying, the illusion, and the disappearance of the figure.
After the "Mirror Substitute" was Deprivation, the Resurrected Female Corpse's first reaction was to use the Mirror Object in the Surveillance Room to create a Mirror Projection and supplement it with Mirror illusion magic, while she herself quietly changed her position.
Therefore, Franca only targeted the Mirror Projection, and the one that would "Certain Hit" was the Mirror Projection, not the real Resurrected Female Corpse.
The Resurrected Female Corpse corpse, having escaped the fatal blow, immediately blurred and projected onto the nearest Mirror Object.
She plans to use the Mirror World Mirror Substitute temporarily escape the battlefield, and then decide whether to wait for the next opportunity, attack Franca and the others again now, or secretly follow them to find out their identities and whereabouts so that they can be directly locked onto and kicked out of the Dream.
Just as the figure of the Resurrected Female Corpse emerged from the surface of the mirror-like object, a person suddenly appeared in the void and darkness Mirror-Behind Region.
That was Anthony wearing a black T-shirt.
Anthony held Charm resembling an "Ice Talisman" in one hand and the "Winter Is Coming" Revolver, aiming at the Resurrected Female Corpse that was about to enter the mirror.
He used his "Mirror Traversal" ability in time to intercept the Resurrected Female Corpse!
Since Lumian can create his own Charm to help Beyonder travel through the Mirror World, he certainly wouldn't just make one for Franca alone.
Besides himself, everyone in the team has one, and each piece can be used four times!
They had just used Franca's "Ice Talisman" to relocate, partly because since they were all close together, there was no need to waste the remaining uses of other Charm. After all, in the Dream, Lumian was limited to Sequence 7, and making similar Charm would likely fail. On the other hand, they were following Lumian's "Conspirer" mindset and Franca's occasional nagging about "Feign inability when able" after entering the Dream, deliberately digging a trap for the enemy.
The fact that they were able to enter the Mirror World and change their location by clinging to Lumian and Franca's clothes convinced the Resurrected Female Corpse that the others couldn't accomplish "Mirror Traversal." Thus, after escaping Franca's attack, the Resurrected Female Corpse confidently used the Mirror World to escape.
This is exactly what happened to Anthony, who had previously tried to conceal his presence.
Anthony calmly pulled the trigger.
Another bullet, glowing with a dark yellow light, flew out, heading towards the Resurrected Female Corpse that was about to enter the Mirror-Behind Region.
"Certain Hit!"
Bang!
As the gunshot rang out, blood blossomed on the chest of the Resurrected Female Corpse, Future to retract the Black Flame, Frost, and Spider Silk to protect herself, and her flesh and bones tore apart.
She really was hit by a bullet, knocked off the mirror, and fell back into the Surveillance Room.
Seeing this, Franca aimed at her target once again.
Now, she's going to use the "Certain Death" bullet.
Jenna remained by the Surveillance Screen, not seeking credit, lest stray bullets destroy the items that needed protection.
She simply extended invisible Spider Silk, intending to smear the blood splattered from the Resurrected Female Corpse, using it as a medium for her Curse.
Just then, the Resurrected Female Corpse suddenly raised her head and let out a Pain scream.
Her hair stood on end, instantly becoming long and thick, like venomous snakes.
The tips of these slick, Evil black hairs were each inlaid with distinct black and white eyeballs and heads that flicked out venomous snake tongues.
Jenna instinctively closed her eyes, but she still felt confused, with Pain and Pleasure rising at the same time, and her body inexplicably stiffened, as if turning into stone.
In that instant, she suddenly understood what the enemy was doing.
The Resurrected Female Corpse seemed to foresee that she was about to suffer a fatal blow, and that she had no way to avoid it or protect herself by forming a giant Cocoon. So she deliberately indulged her madness and revealed an incomplete Mythical Creature Form that only Saint could possess.
For most Saint, displaying an incomplete Mythical Creature Form is extremely dangerous, a path leading to Loss of Control. There are other ways, and no one would use it unless they were willing to drag their enemies down with them.
For Beyonder do not possess Divinity, directly gazing at incomplete Mythical Creature Form will result in intense Corruption and terrifying Mental Impact, likely driving them to madness and Loss of Control. Even if they do not gaze directly at the forms but close their eyes, they will still suffer some degree of Corruption if they are within the corresponding range.
Even Saint with Divinity can still be affected to some extent by incomplete Mythical Creature Form, and will continue to be affected by this influence and face the frenzied attacks of incomplete Mythical Creature —the incomplete Mythical Creature Form is a Saint's most powerful and dangerous state.
As Franca saw the terrifying Change in the Resurrected Female Corpse reflected in her eyes, Teeth and resolutely pulled the trigger of the "Certain-Hit Gun."
Bang!
A dull, bluish-green bullet flew from the muzzle, heading straight for the Resurrected Female Corpse whose body was hidden by her smooth, thick hair.
Franca then let out a low, Pain cry.
She subconsciously tilted her head back, and her black hair, which had been styled into a ponytail by the "Lie," broke free of its restraints, becoming flamboyant and distinct, seemingly thicker.
Her face turned Gray-White, her chest felt heavy, and her mind was in turmoil, as if a Storm had swept through it, stirring up all her thoughts, making them frantic, Distortion, and dark.
She experienced intense Pleasure as well as extreme Pain. This, combined with her already weakened physical condition due to illness and Decay, passively triggered the "Mirror Substitute."
With a snapping sound, Franca degenerated into Mirror and shattered into pieces.
But when her figure was outlined in the corner, she no longer seemed to be sick or Decay. Her hair was still flying in the air and still getting thicker. Her face was unusually Gray-White and Distortion to the extreme, yet it presented a strange beauty. Her eyes were full of madness and malice.
Corruption cannot be transferred by using a "Mirror Substitute," and neither can the tendency to spiral Loss of Control.
At the same time, Franca's "Certain Death" bullet struck the "Resurrected Female Corpse's " slick, Evil black hair.
Although the "Certain Death" effect was suppressed to the Sequence 7 level, meaning it would only Certain Death to Ordinary Person, it was still fatal to the already severely injured Resurrected Female Corpse. Moreover, the Resurrected Female Corpse's incomplete Mythical Creature Form was also limited to Sequence 7, possessing only this level of defensive capabilities!
The bullet, gleaming a dull green, pierced through layers of thick hair and entered the brain of the Resurrected Female Corpse, which presented an incomplete Mythical Creature Form.
Snap!
The Resurrected Female Corpse's head split open, and blood and semen splattered out.
Slippery, Evil, with black and white eyeballs clearly visible, fell down one after another, each returning to its original state to varying degrees.
Only then did Anthony dare to step out of the mirror-like object, turn his back to the strangely Charm and mentally Corruption Corpse, and conduct a "psychoanalysis" of Franca from a not-too-distant distance, which was Past a "Soothing."
Franca's Pain and chaotic thoughts subsided, and the symptoms of her body's Loss of Control began to recede.
Seeing this, Anthony quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the incomplete Mythical Creature Form of the Resurrected Female Corpse was only at the Sequence 7 level, and the Corruption and Impact it caused to Franca were all at this level. Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether she could have been saved. Perhaps it would have depended on Franca's own willpower.
As Anthony began his second attempt to "Soothing" Lumian jumped off the Surveillance Screen.
He instinctively looked at Franca and Jenna to check on their condition.
Seeing that the problems were all within acceptable limits, Lumian turned his gaze to the Resurrected Female Corpse on the ground, whose head was cracked and whose hair was strange.
As a fellow Saint, he only experienced a slight fluctuation in emotion, without any other reaction.
Together, they actually managed to defeat the "Witch of Despair" who had a "Mirror Substitute"... Lumian was surprised but also quite pleased.
He glanced at Ludwig instinctively and saw the little boy staring intently at the "Witch's " Corpse, completely oblivious to the possibility of being Corruption himself.
Ludwig was indeed unaffected by the incomplete Mythical Creature Form. Moreover, the Corpse had already shed its incomplete Mythical Creature Form, retaining only some of its characteristics.
As Lumian repeatedly created seven clusters of the dark "Flames of Destruction" to ignite the Viscous Flesh and Yellow-Green Pus in the Surveillance Room, he took out Mirror, bent down, and put the Resurrected Female Corpse with its head shattered into it.
We can't let this Corpse continue to Corruption the Surveillance Room and affect Jenna and Franca's recovery!
During this process, a Pitch-Black, irregularly shaped Mirror Fragments fell from the Corpse.
Sure enough, she had fragments of Special Mirror World... Lumian stuffed the Pitch-Black fragment into the "Traveler’s Bag," intending to compare it with Franca and the others later.
At this point, the Viscous Flesh and Yellow-Green Pus in the Surveillance Room had partially Burning, and the black Flames began to spread outwards, searching for other flammable materials.
"Phew..." Franca let out a long breath, her mental state finally stabilizing, and the abnormalities in her body subsided.
Anthony then moved on to Jenna, where he began "psychoanalysis" for Jenna, as she was less affected by the Corruption.
After Franca put the "Certain-Hit Gun" back into the "Traveler’s Bag," she was about to proudly tell Lumian, "We've taken down a ' Witch of Despair '," when her eyes suddenly caught sight of the cameras in the Surveillance Room.
She immediately changed her words:
"I'll go check if our fight was captured on camera."
"Why not just use ' Flames of Destruction ' to completely destroy the surveillance equipment?" Lumian felt there was no need for such trouble.
"What if the mall's surveillance footage is stored on a cloud server?" Franca didn't know much about it, but felt it was necessary to guard against this possibility.
Lumian didn't stop Franca anymore, because he didn't understand what a cloud server was.
Franca quickly operated the surveillance system, and after a while said, "It's nothing. The Resurrected Female Corpse must have destroyed the camera in this room when she came to check the surveillance footage."
As she spoke, she used the "Mirror Substitute" once again, because Lumian could not engulf the entire room in "Flames of Destruction," so she could only create clusters of Flames and burn them piece by piece, with Mysticism Pathogens and Decay power still lingering in the air.
Lumian nodded and said, "Check again to see if my battle in the Surveillance World has become part of the surveillance footage."
If there are no problems, let's hurry back and Spiritism.
"You can do that?" Franca said in astonishment.
This is equivalent to the behavior of the mannequins in the Painted World altering the artwork itself.
