Wish
Boom!
The highly compressed crimson fire serpent exploded, engulfing Zarathustra before Jenna could complete the Curse, tearing it into pieces and setting them Burning.
Zarathustra has once again disappeared into the Historical Fog.
Once the explosion caused by the crimson fire serpent subsided, he returned to the present from a corner of the Mirror-Behind Region and dragged out his Past self from the Historical Pore, the self who was Sequence 1 "Mystery Waiter".
Clothed in Black Robe, with Eyes that were pure black and devoid of light, Zarathustra appeared and immediately transformed into a giant Whirlpool composed of countless Worms.
This enormous Whirlpool was deep and dark, and it extended out slippery tentacles covered with Evil patterns.
Mythical Creature Form, Mythical Creature Form through the "Seer" Pathway!
For the Angel, the Mythical Creature Form is their truest form, so within the Dream City, there is no question of whether they can transform or not, or whether they can revert back to their original form. Of course, this is also suppressed to the Sequence 7 level.
The moment Lumian saw the Worms Whirlpool, even as the "Witch of Despair" and possessing Divinity, she couldn't help but feel her thoughts freeze, her joints stiffen, and her Statue it were being attacked by a super Hurricane.
He instinctively closed his eyes, and Jenna's entire body seemed to Distortion as she approached the Tunnel in the mirror.
Seizing this opportunity, Zarathustra's true form made Wish:
My Wish is:
My Marionette has returned to my side.
As soon as he finished speaking, two more figures appeared Mirror-Behind Region.
They were both dressed as business people, one man and one woman.
As for the other Marionette, they belong to other "Marionettist," Zarathustra can only command their operators, not them.
Zarathustra did not make Wish leave the Mirror World because he sensed the existence of a "Distortion" force from the fact that he had been transported to the Mirror World despite hiding in the Historical Fog, so he did not choose to leave the current area directly.
He feared being "Distortion" in his position again, which might cause him to appear out of nowhere in front of Yagaitze, the number one figure in the Police Headquarters.
At this moment, because Zarathustra's Mythical Creature Form was restricted to Sequence 7, the effects of both Divinity Impact and mental Corruption were greatly reduced. Therefore, Lumian, who was the "Witch of Despair," closed her eyes, and kept her distance, began to calm down. She raised her left hand and snapped her fingers.
Mirror-Behind Region, in different areas, a "Mirror Image Maze" of Mirror concealed clusters of pre-prepared Delayed Explosion Fireball that received the order to detonate immediately!
Rumble!
They exploded simultaneously, intertwining and unleashing a fierce, crimson Storm of Flames that engulfed the entire Mirror-Behind Region, completely submerging the Historical Void Images of Zarathustra, the two Marionette, along with Jenna and Lumian.
This is the Hunter's home ground, a home ground meticulously prepared by Lumian!
As for Zarathustra's true form, it has once again been shrouded in the Historical Fog.
Rumble!
Zarathustra's two Marionette used "Paper Figurine Substitute," which were torn to pieces in the Impact storm and set ablaze by Crimson Flames.
The Historical Void Images of Zarathustra retains the Mythical Creature Form, with tentacles extending out to entangle the sweeping Storm of Flames.
He "Grafting" himself onto the Flames, so he was unharmed, only drifting to the other side with the Storm.
Normally, the "Grafting" suppressed in Sequence 7 would not allow the Historical Void Images of Zarathustra to be recombined with the concept of Flames. However, the Sequence 7 "Magician" of the "Seer" Pathway can manipulate Flames and is inherently closely connected with Flames. Therefore, the Historical Void Images of Zarathustra can appear like a special Flames, constantly Flash in the Storm.
Lumian's body shattered like Mirror.
Immediately afterwards, he "Teleportation" to the vicinity of the newly appeared Women Marionette, used the Mirror in his hand to reflect her image, and then smeared the "Flames of Destruction" containing the power of "Harvest" onto the mirror.
Affected by both Zarathustra's physical body entering the Historical Fog and Zarathustra's Historical Projection turning into "Flames" drifting with the Storm, the Women Marionette had no time to react or hide in the Historical Fog. Extremely suppressed black Flames, concealing destruction, erupted from her body.
She quickly degenerated into Paper Person, but when she appeared in another area Mirror-Behind Region, the "Flames of Destruction" on her body had not been extinguished.
After using the "Paper Figurine Substitute" twice, the Marionette turned to ashes.
At this moment, the terrifying scene created by the Delayed Explosion of Fireball finally subsided, and the Historical Void Images of Zarathustra stretched out its right hand and gently grasped.
The surrounding spacetime Distortion, making the Mirror-Behind Region seem as if a huge curtain had been drawn over it, forming a Concealment area isolated from the surroundings.
"The Mysteries Realm"!
After confirming that Lumian and Jenna had been pulled into the "Mysteries Realm" by his Historical Projection and could no longer stop him in the short term, Zarathustra returned from the Historical Fog and landed on the edge of the dark and void Mirror-Behind Region.
He ignored his own Historical Projection and the remaining Marionette were also trapped in the "Mysteries Realm," and walked straight to the glass mirror leading to the private room of the hot pot restaurant.
Now, he has the capacity to be vigilant and avoid the influence of the "Distortion" forces.
Zarathustra approached the glass mirror, he suddenly heard a gunshot.
A gleaming yellow bullet, carrying an indescribable sense of Decay, flew out from one of the spiderweb-like Tunnel and headed straight for his vest.
Wearing a cheap black T-shirt and sporting a buzz cut, Anthony Flash from the Tunnel as bullets flew past.
He used the power of the "Ice Mirror Charm" to remain hidden there, without venturing into the Mirror-Behind Region, and thus was not included in the "Mysteries Realm" created by Zarathustra's Historical Projection.
As Zarathustra dodged the bullet, Anthony, using the remaining power of his "Mirror Traversal," instantly appeared beside the white-haired old man.
He raised a pre-drawn painting while his Eyes turned Golden and he stood up straight.
"Frenzy"!
Anthony believed that Zarathustra was Resurrection by taking over Loki's body, and there might still be some tension between them. Therefore, using "Frenzy" to target Zarathustra's mental state might be surprisingly effective.
The painting in his hand was drawn in Blank Sketchbook, depicting a door, a lock, and wooden strips that completely sealed the door.
The painting spontaneously Burning, turning into a phantom image that adhered to the glass mirror leading to the outside world, where it was also sealed with wooden strips and locked.
Zarathustra, directly affected by "Frenzy," suddenly faded and became a phantom.
This is the "Magician's " ability to create illusions.
Upon returning from the Historical Fog, Zarathustra's first act was to create illusions, rather than directly approaching the exit.
He used this to make Anthony misjudge his position, causing him to only hit the Phantom.
Zarathustra's true form swiftly appeared not far away, and he spoke indifferently in the Draconic: "My Wish is:
"Banishment the enemies here."
Before Anthony Future use his area-of-effect "Intimidation," everything went black before his eyes, as if he had been lifted up by an invisible force and thrown into the air.
When he regained consciousness, he found himself in a prison cell, with no mirror-like objects around him to use—all the iron bars were covered with Cotton.
Zarathustra chose to Banishment Anthony instead of wishing to kill him because the Angel believed that enemies who mingled with "Witch" were likely to have one or two "Mirror Substitute," which would cause Wish to be temporarily unfulfilled and time to be wasted.
However, in this way, Lumian inside the "Mysteries Realm" was unaffected by the Miracle and remained inside.
Zarathustra's Wish is to Banishment the enemies of "this place," and the "Mysteries Realm" no longer belongs to this place!
No longer bothered by Anthony Zarathustra turned his gaze back to the glass mirror.
He had already fulfilled two Wish and created two Miracle, which had taken a toll on him. So he simply opened his mouth, preparing to use the "Air Cannon" to bombard the wooden strips and locks, breaking their seal on the exit.
Inside the "Mysteries Realm".
Jenna had disappeared, while Lumian, having recovered slightly, was "Teleportation" behind the Zarathustra Historical Projection.
He raised his head, looking up into the sky, his eyes, which had been shattered from staring directly at the Mythical Creature Form, turning a deep, metallic black, and then hummed a sound.
As two beams of white light shot from his nose into the Gloom Whirlpool of Worms, he threw the "Sword of Courage" in his hand into the air.
That place appeared Pale White white in his eyes.
That's the weakness of the "Mysteries Realm"!
Even though "Mysteries Realm" is an ability that can only be used at Sequence 1, it currently only has the strength of Sequence 7!
Outside the "Mysteries Realm".
Zarathustra fired a "bang," unleashing a Air Cannon that shattered the wooden strips and iron locks drawn on the glass mirror.
Just then, several Daoist emerged from another Tunnel.
There was Ludwig dressed in children's formal attire, a slightly plump but mature-looking Female Anthony, and a handsome Male Jenna with Linen-Colored hair styled in a dashing way.
The real Jenna remained hidden inside the Tunnel, not entering the Mirror-Behind Region.
The one that appeared earlier was Shallow Mirror Image created by her using Special Mirror World Fragment. This could be maintained for a longer time to deceive Zarathustra, but under the influence of the regional explosion created by Lumian and the "Mysteries Realm," that weak Shallow Mirror Image has been destroyed.
The current Male Jenna and the Female Anthony are Deep Mirror Image Humans created in advance using Special Mirror World Fragment in the possession of Franca and Lumian. They can only maintain their form for three minutes. In terms of ability, they are almost a perfect replica of the originals, and at the same time, they can borrow the power of the Special Mirror World to a certain extent.
After the battle with the Resurrected Female Corpse, Lumian and the others began to pay attention to the abilities associated with the Special Mirror World Fragment.
In the real world, the effect is not yet obvious, but since everyone is suppressed in the Dream City of Sequence 7, the more mirror helpers the better!
Jenna's decision not to have the male version of herself, the Female Anthony, and Ludwig accompany Anthony in attacking Zarathustra was a matter of remembering Lumian's prior instructions:
"If the assassination fails, the subsequent attacks must be carried out in batches, not all at once, lest Zarathustra's special abilities wipe them all out at once, which would also deplete his spirituality and the number of times he can use his special abilities..."
On the "Hunter's" home turf, while it's not possible to completely dominate the enemy from start to finish, at least the first few waves of attacks will demonstrate your intentions!
