Chapter 1033 Life and Death Fight in the Mirror (2-in-1) Watching Angel walk into the basement, the thread of the spirit body suddenly disappeared. Klein took a deep sigh and fished out a new lantern before the lantern in his hand reached the time limit of the historical image. , surrounded by dim lights, strode out of this giant's village, randomly chose a direction, and stepped into the deep darkness.

In this abandoned world, except for some flat land near the village, there are no "roads" in the true sense. There are only endless wilderness, occasional ravines or hills, and sporadic odd-shaped plants. Even with his "ancient scholar" erudition, he could not figure out what species these plants were.

"These ravines were originally supposed to be rivers, but with the disappearance of vegetation and the lack of rain and drought, these rivers gradually dried up and became cracks that cut through the earth..."

He observed a dry riverbed for a moment and came to a conclusion. , carefully tried to use "flame jump" to reach the other side. As a handful of flames that were extremely dazzling in the dark night flashed by, Klein successfully reached his destination without being hidden by the power of the night, nor was he affected by the darkness. The monster's attack.

But in his vision of the spiritual thread, he could see illusory, thin lines crawling in the darkness where the light could not shine. This meant that monsters hidden in the darkness were wandering and peeping around him. Waiting for the moment when the flames extinguish and the prey reveals its flaw.

"As soon as Angel left, they surrounded me. It seems that even the monsters in the God-Forsaken Land know who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked... But today they also made a mistake."

Klein laughed at himself, no longer Instead of looking into the lightless area, he continued to hold the lantern, using the occasional lightning to illuminate the way forward, and walked in the chosen direction.

Behind him, deformed and crazy monsters trembled and turned into marionettes, following step by step.

Some of these marionettes gradually changed into the appearance of wearing black windbreakers and carrying dim lanterns as they approached Klein, while some remained in their original shape, crawling quickly with strange-shaped limbs to explore further places.

The monster that was lucky enough not to have its spiritual body torn away immediately understood that the human with the lamp was not easy to mess with, and quietly left without trying to follow him.

Surrounded by the Marionettes, Klein finally felt a little safer.

"It seems that most of the wild monsters in the 'Land Abandoned by the Gods' are not very powerful. At best, they are at a level that mid-sequence extraordinary people can deal with. Otherwise, Silver City would not be able to persist in the darkness for thousands of years... The one that poses the greatest threat to me is Or the 'secret' and 'fallen' forces in the darkness, especially the former. Even if I am the favored one of the night, I can't resist the out-of-control divine power here, just like the 'earth' and 'blazing sun' in the ruins of the God War. Power..."

He walked briskly, muttering to himself, experiencing the long-lost feeling of freedom and freedom of walking in the sun, without having to worry about a few slippery tentacles sticking out of the fog of history, and people around him suddenly wearing singlets. Glasses... Although there is no sunshine here, Klein is in a very sunny mood at this time.

But he still maintained the most basic vigilance. While using the marionette to explore the way and investigate the dangers around him, he constantly switched his position between different marionettes, summarizing his plan to come to the land abandoned by the gods in his mind. .

The first thing that Klein did when he broke through the blockade and came here was naturally to contact the Silver City where Derrick, the "Sun" of the Tarot Society, was located. It was probably the only city-state that still had normal order in the Land Abandoned by God, and not only was it preserved internally, With a large amount of secret history of the Second and Third Ages, it will help him digest the last "Ancient Scholar" potion, and it is also his best hope to complete the promotion ceremony.

As for how to return the two to three thousand years of history in Silver City to the current era, and how to bring these poor people out of the God-Forsaken Land, Klein has a preliminary direction in his mind, but he still needs to further understand the God-Forsaken Land. It can only be perfected after the history.

"At least we can't let Angel turn them into corpses one by one and take them out of here... They can't advance the ability of 'resurrection', and living creatures can penetrate the blockade through the 'City of Disaster' and have a high probability of being attacked by the source of matter. Pollution, like the corpses in the giant village, their heads were separated, or they turned into monsters..."

Klein couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart when he thought of the large number of corpses in the bone burial ground he just witnessed.

But he immediately thought that the "Origin Castle" he owned did not show such intuitive destructive power. The gray mist that looked like the fog of history almost never really showed its power except for resisting certain powerful enemies on its own. And Tarot Members of the association held dozens of meetings there, and there was no sign of contamination.

Unless... that mysterious gray fog is not the real "Origin Castle", but just a manifestation of the power of the source of matter, just like the relationship between the "Mirror World" and the "City of Disaster"?

Is the real "Origin Castle" actually the light gate that hangs countless light cocoons and releases him, Russell and another extraordinary person into the real world?

Klein had a realization, and looked up to the sky, as if he wanted to see through the illusory fog that shrouded his head. He looked at the door of light that he only had the opportunity to see the whole picture after becoming a demigod, imagining that it was just a huge " Castle" door.

But in front of him there was only the deep darkness of the Land Abandoned by the Gods, and even the frequency of lightning dropped to a minimum.

Looking back, the second thing he wanted to do came to his mind: hunting "Dark Demonic Wolf" Kotar.

Kotal, known as the "God of Wishes", possesses the extraordinary characteristic of a "Miracle Master". If Klein wants to be promoted to Sequence 2, he must face him and kill him, unless he finds someone who also has the characteristic. Zarathu, or "Half Fool" Antigonus.

From the information sent into his brain by the goddess of the night, Klein knew several locations where the dark demon wolf had stayed for a long time, as well as some of his living habits. However, this was probably information obtained by the goddess before she left this continent. Now that thousands of years have passed, Klein is not sure whether this "Miracle Master" has changed in his personality and habits.

Therefore, before the hunt started, he planned to visit these places to confirm the accuracy of the information, and then make a plan to kill the "wolf" and obtain the treasure.

This is the background of this world... people eat people, characteristics merge with each other, and the higher the sequence, the more inevitable a zero-sum game will appear... Klein sighed as he was surrounded by marionettes.

Finally, besides digesting the magic potion and hunting the magic wolf, he also planned to visit the easternmost part of the God's Abandoned Land.

After knowing that the earth was beneath his feet and that he had just traveled through time rather than space, Klein had always had a question:

According to the map of this era and the memory in his mind, the northern continent, the southern continent and the violent sea in the middle were the old ones. The American continent of the era, and the "God-forsaken land" facing them across the Sunian Sea was undoubtedly a combination of Europe and Africa before it was destroyed.

So, is the "Eastern Continent", the easternmost part of the "Land Abandoned by Gods" directly connected to the "Western Continent" on the other side of the Sea of ​​Mist?

That is his true hometown.

Thinking of this, Klein's steps became a little brisk.

After walking a few more miles and having a deeper connection with this area, he can return to the gray fog and use the character of "Origin Castle" to divine the specific location of "Silver City". Get in touch with survivors of the disaster.

But Klein still hasn't forgotten that in the "Land Abandoned by Gods" there is not only his hope for promotion, but also his biggest enemy: Amon.

I don't know if the true form of this "blasphemer" is still in this sealed area, but he will at least leave a group of clones behind, hiding in Silver City, and in other possible city-states and strongholds, waiting for Klein himself Delivered to your door.

Fortunately, his parasitism can be detected through high-level vision above the gray fog. Klein also has Derrick as an "inside agent". He can use his prayers to attract the attention of "The Fool", discover Amon's clone in advance, and do Respond.

Of course, in addition to Amon's body and clones, there is another existence in the God-Forsaken Land that Klein has to pay attention to. That is the Lord believed in by the "Aurora Society" who he has repeatedly opposed. They all seek the "true Creator" descended from God.

If this god knows that I have come to the land abandoned by gods, will he come directly in front of me and grant me real death... No, it is said that he has gone completely crazy, so he will let the "listeners" in the same path hear from time to time. The ravings that drove me crazy made the "Aurora Society" behave in an extreme manner and act without scruples. In this state, he would most likely let his angels hunt me down, which would be tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack... Klein muttered, I have made preliminary plans for my trip to the God-Forsaken Land.

He immediately looked back, and in the flash of lightning that had only occurred for a long time, he saw an abandoned village with only a string of small dots on the horizon.

What is Angel doing now when he returns to Isla Sorna...he thought curiously.

————

The moment darkness as deep as the torrent of death surged in, Angel tried to leave the "mirror world" and return to reality.

But she immediately discovered that her connection with each mirror channel and all nearby mirrors had become very weak, as if there was a barrier between the two that was difficult to break through.

After Backlund fought against "Ms. Despair", her access to and from the mirror world was once again blocked by others!

This means that the other party is either higher than yourself in the sequence, or has a deeper grasp of the mirror world.

As a "disaster" witch in Sequence 2, Angel knew that the previous condition was impossible to achieve, because the "Original Witch" occupied all three extraordinary characteristics of Sequence 1. In the path of the witch, the pinnacle of any extraordinary person is Sequence 2.

And who has a deeper grasp of the "Mirror World" than Angel, who has partial authority over the "City of Disaster"?

As the dark black "doomsday" covered Angel's mirror world, a slender and thin figure was outlined in the void, immediately attracting her attention.

She was wearing a thin black dress, her nose was high, her face was as three-dimensional and deep as a sculpture, her long black hair was flying in the wind, and they were entangled with each other, forming thick and long poisonous snakes. Her eyes were as blue as the ocean, which made people feel Unable to take his eyes away, his body gradually became stiff and petrified.

Obviously, this is a high-ranking witch who directly displays the complete form of a mythical creature. The moment she saw Him, Angel's body also experienced similar changes. The ends of her long pale golden hair turned into black, and she also grew a single eye with a large mouth or a vertical pupil. Her skin became crystal clear, but there was half a human inside. Set off by the transparent scales covered with divine patterns, the eyes have also changed from dark purple to blue-violet, and the face has undergone subtle changes, becoming more three-dimensional and sculpture-like.

Under the oppression of a witch in the form of a Gorgon, she could only cope with it in the form of her own mythical creature.

But compared to the witch who suddenly appeared in front of him, Angel's mythical creature form was subtly different.

His body is not covered with scales. Is this a different type of "Gorgons", or... I have the power of the "War Bishop" in my body, so the mythical creature form will be slightly closer to the "Hunter"'s flame giant? No, it should be said to be the Iron Giant... She looked at the witch who caused the end of the "Mirror World" with a clear understanding, and suddenly found that the other person was wearing a ring on her finger that was somewhat familiar to her.

It is the sapphire ring that Triss once owned, which can pray for the power of the "original witch"!

The other party is not the same "disaster" witch as her, but a vessel descended from the gods and possessing part of the true god's power!

No wonder He was able to overpower my control over the "Mirror World". After asking the gods to come, He, who was originally the "Disaster" witch, at least had the power of the Sequence 1 "Doomsday" witch, and also had the personality of a true god. Although I There is the favor and gift of the "City of Disaster", but the essence of this essence is sealed in the Western Continent. What is deep in the mirror world is only a part of the leaked power. It is difficult to compare with the one who controls the "uniqueness" and has the corresponding authority. The Sequence 0 True God contends...

Angel instantly understood and no longer tried to compete with the other party for control of the "mirror world". Instead, at the moment when deep darkness covered him, he covered himself with black flames to resist this apocalyptic force. The power caused them to pass through him and surge behind him, completely destroying all the nearby mirror passages, turning the mirror world into a dark place where no light could be seen.

This did not cause the world in the mirror to collapse immediately, but formed a void sandwiched between the spiritual world and reality without any objects. It was like a world eroded by the doomsday. Except for the two witches floating in the air, there was no one else. Nothing else.

The witch with fluttering black hair and cold blue eyes seemed not surprised that Angel could escape the first wave of attacks. He also ignited cursed black flames and flew into the sky like a giant bird with open wings, dragging out a field of light again. Black flames engulfed the entire area, and meteorites formed out of thin air and struck Angel below.

It just so happened that this was an excellent battlefield...

Under the cold gaze of this "God's Descend Vessel", and under the pressure of the meteorites thrown by him, the corners of Angel's mouth curled up slightly.

She learned from Triss that the divine descent through the sapphire ring would not last long. A saint could last for half a minute, and the angel could only last for two minutes at most.

She will try hard and within two minutes...

...completely defeat the false god in front of her.

Surrounded by black flames, his body was dodging falling meteorites one after another. A series of connected iron dolls fell out from under Angel's skirt. As soon as they were separated from the series, they expanded rapidly and turned into ten tough warriors. Each of the steel soldiers has a Sequence 3 personality and can fight with the ability of a "Reaper".

In addition, they are all part of the holder's "team". Under the power of the hunter demigod's "gathering", they can share damage and power with each other, forming a closely connected and well-cooperated team, allowing everyone to The "Reapers" have become an extension of the captain's strength.

The most important thing is that after Angel obtains the gift of "War Bishop", he can share his abilities within a certain range, rather than just his power, to "team members". This is reflected here, that every iron soldier has a "War Bishop" " ability, not just that of the "Reaper".

Having divinity or not is the biggest difference between the two.

Under Angel's thoughts, the iron soldiers with heavy bodies falling straight into the depths of the mirror world turned into flaming spears burning with purple flames, moving exquisitely through meteorites, accompanied by sonic booms. Accelerating to the point where it is almost invisible to the naked eye, it flies towards the black-haired witch in the distance.

It's not that Angel is unwilling to turn ten soldiers into supersonic flame spears at once, but the Sequence 3 ability she "shares" is limited in quantity. Although she is not restricted in using it, each "team member" can only borrow it separately. , cannot be repeated.

Even so, the scene of spears all over the sky shooting at the black-haired witch like meteors flying backwards is still extremely gorgeous, and even temporarily overwhelms the momentum of meteorites falling and black flames covering the sky.

Boom, boom—

the spears exploded in the lightless mirror world, and the blue-purple flames flowed downwards. Before Angel had time to observe the results of the battle, they were all stained with gray and white, solidified into stone fragments, and sprinkled like rain.

With just a look, the black-haired witch in the divine state completely turned all the flame spears fired at her to stone and lost their power along with the high-temperature flames.

But Angel was not discouraged. Her "Reaper Legion" was just a feint attack to attract the enemy's attention. Angel's figure was hidden in the flames of the spears streaking across the sky, no less powerful than the Reapers' suicide attacks. He rushed straight towards the black-haired witch at high speed.

Beside her, the meteorites endured the struggle of the two witches, shattering and exploding one after another. The orange fire became the background color of the world in the mirror, and the black figure of Angel holding a straight sword to activate the "harvesting" power was A sharp blade that cuts through the curtain.

Angel's face was a little gray, and the ends of his pale golden snake hair hung heavily, as if he had been petrified. However, in the process of canceling each other's abilities, the figures of the two witches had overlapped, and "Angelica's Blade" was burning. The flames pierced the witch who was in the state of divine descent, and ignited a huge black flame amidst the sound of the mirror shattering.

At the same time, the sound of broken mirrors was also heard from the other three locations in the mirror world, and fragments reflecting the light of the flames fell from the void. They were the "mirror stand-ins" hidden in the dark by the black-haired witch.

Angel combined the hunter's "harvest" and the witch's destructive power in a fatal blow, successfully eliminating most of the opponent's substitutes, and even affected his own body that activated the substitute at the last moment.

Just half a month ago, she used the same method to kill all of Zaratul's marionettes with one blow. The combination of hunter and witch abilities is the nemesis of extraordinary beings with the abilities of clones, substitutes and incarnations!

In the battle between the witches, disaster, petrification, and disease abilities canceled each other out, and Angel's "War Bishop" gift became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Among the black flames and mirror fragments that filled the sky, the figure of the black-haired witch slowly emerged from another place. Her body still carried wisps of black flames that did not belong to her. She was quickly expelled by the cursed flames caused by herself, but After using a substitute to escape the attack in embarrassment, his sculpture-like three-dimensional face finally showed a slight change, and his blue eyes showed surprise.

After receiving the order from the old grandmother "Grey Witch" and borrowing a sapphire ring to ask for God's surrender, He originally thought it was just an easy task. After all, the witch's body is difficult to kill, and when they have a way out, they often won't fight to the death. It shouldn't be too difficult to overwhelm a new "disaster" witch with a power close to that of Sequence 1.

But at this time, he was actually at a disadvantage?

Holding the hand wearing the sapphire ring tightly, feeling the power given to her by the "original", the "Blue Witch" stabilized her spirituality and once again summoned a meteor shower much larger than before, hitting it at an angle that even she could not predict. , using this to delay time, he then drew an arc with both hands on his chest and grasped a simple silver mirror that suddenly appeared. As the angle changed, the mirror reflected the "golden man" who was avoiding the meteorite and rushing toward him again. Queen" figure.

Before she could do anything further, the body of the "Blue Witch" was penetrated by the flaming straight sword again, and the three other mirror stand-ins were turned into blazing fragments.

But her body appeared in another location, still holding the dressing mirror tightly in her hand. At this time, the relative angle between the two people had changed, but Angel's figure was still clearly reflected on the surface of the silver mirror.

With a sneer, the "Blue Witch" stretched out her hand stained with black flames and pressed it towards the person in the mirror.

At the same time, the introduction of this sealed object quickly emerged in his mind:

"'The Killer in the Mirror'.

"This silver mirror originated from an 'ageless' witch in the Fourth Age. She and her mirror After the middle man was attacked and died at the same time, the sealed object produced by combining the extraordinary characteristics with the fragments in the mirror was only equivalent to a '1' level sealed object, but as long as it was used properly, it was the nemesis of any witch.

"As long as the mirror is activated and pointed at the target, the target's figure will be imprinted in the mirror. The damage to the image in the mirror will be reflected on all the target's avatars, clones and people in the mirror at the same time. As long as it is attacked in a single attack Killing the main body will destroy all the hidden "people in the mirror" at the same time. No matter where they are or how protected they are, they will inevitably die."

The slender fingers stained with black flames of the "Blue Witch" are about to press. When Angel's figure was on the "Mirror Killer", the latter instinctively felt the crazy warning originating from spirituality, and subconsciously let the last two surviving iron soldiers get closer to him, sharing each other's suffering with the power of "gathering" of harm.

It's useless, "Mirror Killer" restrains all similar abilities... "Blue Witch" pressed her finger fiercely.

At this moment, the black flames on his fingertips disappeared, the meteorites that fell beside him disappeared, and the disease and petrification power that he was silently fighting against the "Golden Queen" all disappeared.

The connection established between Him and the "Original Witch" through the sapphire ring was interrupted in advance!

PS: No more tonight_(:з」∠)_

(End of this chapter)DoomsdayChapter 1034: Doomsday

boom--

A dark flame ignited on Angel's body, the high temperature burned her flesh, the curse corroded her soul, and more destructive power spread along the invisible mystical connection to the last two members of the "Harvester Corps", burning the more than two-meter-tall armored soldiers into a ball of hot metal that could not be seen in its original shape. It lost the ability to float in the air and fell into the endless void below.

There were several sounds of breaking glass, and Angel's mirror doubles were burned in the cursed flames, just like what she did to the black-haired witch.

But she keenly discovered that the moment her figure was reflected in the strange silver mirror and cursed by the witch in the "God's Descent" state, the power that should have been able to kill her suddenly weakened, from a power higher than Sequence 1 and close to the legendary "Angel King" to an attack launched by an ordinary "Disaster" witch.

However, this level of curse was no longer fatal after she used the power of "gathering people" to share it with other iron soldiers.

The most important thing is that the curse flame that could have burned towards the person in the mirror through the connection of mysticism was completely isolated outside the "City of Disaster" because of the sudden decrease in status.

He...the power belonging to the "Original Witch" Chike in his body has disappeared?

Angel put out the black flames that were still burning on his body but could no longer harm him. He then turned to look at the black-haired witch who was holding a mysterious silver mirror above him. The latter's blue eyes were also fixed on him.

At this moment, Angel confirmed her guess because she saw a flash of panic in the witch's eyes.

At this time, the offense and defense changed!

The enemy who ended the "God's Descent" state fell back to Sequence 2 and became a "Disaster" witch without any special features. Angel's advantage in controlling the mirror world was immediately reflected. She took over all the nearby mirror passages in turn, blocking the opponent's escape route, and then re-gripped the "Angelica Blade" in her hand, turning into a fire meteor and flying rapidly upwards.

Deadly pathogens spread in the air, competing for dominance; the "petrification" force that can turn everything gray and white is crushing each other in the void, inseparable; meteorites falling from the sky kiss each other one after another, exploding into balls of high-temperature flames.

In terms of most of the witch's power, Angel is not much better than the other party. If he relies solely on the power of the "Disaster" witch to defeat an enemy of the same Sequence 2, it is likely that the outcome will not be determined unless the spiritual energy of both sides is on the verge of exhaustion and all the mirror substitutes are used up.

But now she also has the gift of "Hunter", which is equivalent to a hybrid extraordinary person who jumps from the "War Bishop" path to the "Disaster" witch!

"Bang——"

A fierce sonic boom sounded, and the straight sword in Angel's hand slashed out with a destructive momentum, directly smashing the black-haired witch into a ball of curled up, molten glass fragments.

Less than ten meters behind her, the witch whose passage in the mirror was blocked came out in a panic. Before she could steady herself in the air, she was surprised to find that the figure of the "Golden Queen" who had just chopped with the sword with all her strength had faded and disappeared.

The one who attacked him was just a mirror substitute who had the ability to attack and shared the hunter's gift with the ability of "gathering people"!

Without hesitation, his figure disappeared into the air again and appeared not far away.

However, Angel, who had already controlled all the nearby mirror channels and used his stand-in to launch a false attack, appeared at the same position earlier than his opponent, holding the real blade in both hands and stabbing at the opponent with the power of "harvest" and "charged attack".

She does not seek to hit the enemy's vital points, but only to really hit him, thereby connecting the attacks of all clones, substitutes and secret puppets to destroy all the remaining "mirror substitutes" of the opponent.

Crash - the straight sword in Angel's hand pierced through the body of the witch in front of him without any hindrance, and burned her with high temperature when she activated her Stand ability again at the critical moment, scattering countless burning mirror fragments.

At the same time, high-temperature flames spread along the mystical connections in the eight directions of this illusory mirror world, destroying all the connected stand-ins at once.

Only the black-haired witch, who had taken the initiative to cut off her connection with all mirrors, stepped out of the void and returned to the mirror world that had been previously blocked by Him with the power of the "Original Witch" but had now become her own cage.

His movements were a little staggering, as if he had taken some damage from the attack that had just "connected" everything, but his eyes remained firm. He raised his hand with the sapphire ring in front of him, and his thumb pressed tightly on the ring on his index finger, on the crystal clear sapphire.

Facing Angel's gaze calmly, she sneered and crushed the sapphire with a "0" level sealed object status.

The last bit of destructive aura that remained inside, which was originally intended to draw the power of the "Original Witch" into the container, escaped, causing Angel to tremble as he was about to launch another attack to completely eliminate the black-haired witch who had nowhere to escape and no substitute to withstand the damage.

In the sky, the meteorites that collided with each other were taken over briefly, falling vertically downwards. The "petrification" force that raged, spread and offset each other quickly melted like ice and snow under the scorching sun. All the power belonging to the "witch" now belonged to the real and only "witch".

Silently, this special mirror world began to collapse. The darkness at the edge of the void mixed with black flames swept and collapsed towards the center, and then turned into a complete blank with no objects existing and no time passing.

The "end of the world" has come here.

Before being affected by this terrifying force again, Angel used his control over the power of the mirror world to reverse his own state and return to the real world.

Only then did she realize that the battle with the black-haired witch had extended from the ground to the air, from the abandoned village of Sona Island to above the crowded port.

"Fortunately, the battle in the mirror world will not affect reality. Otherwise, any leakage of power will cause a devastating blow to the entire port..."

Looking at the port below, which was not busy but still had many ships coming in and out, Angel just felt emotional when ripples of refracted light flashed in the air not far in front of him, and a figure in a black dress escaped in a panic from the exit of the mirror world.

It was the "disaster" witch, who had also tried her best to escape... Which one of the four witch sects, "Gray", "Yellow", "Blue" and "Purple", was she? Judging from her eyes, she might be the "Blue Witch", but the descendants of the witch family seemed to have similar characteristics... Angel's mind was racing, but he raised the sharp blade in his hand without hesitation, ready to attack the opponent while he was still unstable.

But before she could make any move, the area behind the black-haired witch that was still flickering with ripples began to emit an aura that made her tremble again.

That was the power of the "Original Witch" that had just destroyed the entire mirror world!

This dark power that absorbed all light did not chase the black-haired witch who had fled far away like lightning, but was attracted by the port where the dense crowd was below, and it fell with the momentum of destroying everything, like a huge curtain covering the entire port.

Is this island also going to experience the same doomsday as before... Angel looked down, his eyes gradually filled with the color of destruction.

Of course, she could ignore all this at the moment, and either escape quietly or try to track down the black-haired witch who had sneaked away into the mirror world again when she saw that the situation was not right. On the one hand, she could completely ensure her own safety, and on the other hand, she would have the opportunity to get some clues about the witch sect from that witch.

The impending disaster on Sona Island will eventually be signed by the "Original Witch" and become part of the "great achievements" of this evil god.

No one knew that there was a witch watching the disaster happen.

But she knows it herself.

Angel's purple eyes were instantly stained with a crystal color, reflecting the port below which was covered by a black curtain that was about to destroy everything. The ships near the coast and the village not far away were all imprinted on the two purple "mirrors" in an extremely delicate way.

The next second, "doomsday" arrived at the port of Sona Island.

The towering lighthouse, the continuous docks, the stacked houses and the interconnected streets first turned grayish white, then were covered by black flames, and finally turned into colorless nothingness, disappearing silently and completely, leaving behind a deep pit covering an area of ​​several square kilometers, into which the sea water was roaring and pouring.

The entire port, along with several surrounding villages, were quietly wiped out from Sona Island.

After taking a cold look at the "masterpiece" created by the divine power left by the "Original Witch" in the sapphire ring, Angel turned his gaze and looked towards a wasteland far away from the deep pit.

As her eyes flashed again, figures of varying heights, dressed in various clothes, with expressions and movements maintained at the moment before the port was destroyed, appeared on the ground one after another.

They seemed to wake up only then, looked around in confusion, and soon discovered the completely destroyed port. Some people fled away in terror, some tried desperately to return to the deep pit, and more people hugged their relatives and friends after waking up, feeling lucky that they did not disappear with the port.

Soon, someone spotted Angel floating in the air, with her blonde hair draped over her shoulders and her skirt fluttering. Most people couldn't recognize her, let alone see her face clearly at an altitude of several hundred meters. However, there were some extraordinary adventurers and sailors who saw that beautiful face and remembered the prayer that had been circulating on the sea recently.

"The queen who roams the five seas, the essence of the disaster in the mirror!"

Savoring the fear and admiration in the glances directed at him, feeling the potion in his body being slightly digested, Angel smiled slightly and disappeared into the "mirror world" on the spot.

Before she had time to divine the whereabouts of the black-haired witch, she heard a clear prayer in her ears:

"...the essence of the disaster in the mirror, the noble Angelica Sage..."

This was different from the idle chatter from the residents whom she had just transferred to a safe place through the mirror world. It was a complete prayer with mystical significance.

Angel was familiar with the voice. After a brief thought, she recognized that it was Catalina, the "White Saint" who disappeared before she could stop George III from becoming a god.

"...I have received news that the 'Blue Witch' of the Witch Cult has recently received a mission and may launch an attack on you in the near future. She is a Sequence 2 'Disaster' Witch and possesses a powerful seal that can directly kill the person in the mirror."

In her ear, Katerina spoke in a low voiceBetting on Both SidesChapter 1035 Betting on Both Sides

Angel was not surprised by the words of "White Saint" Katarina. After all, she had just experienced a sneak attack from the mirror world a few minutes ago. The opponent accurately determined the time and location of her leaving the "God-Forsaken Land" and launched a divine descent at the right time, assisted by a seal that could kill all her substitutes at the same time, and almost succeeded.

Of course, Angel didn't think that a mirror that was obviously only at the saint level and far inferior to the "0" level seal could really kill the person in her mirror in the "City of Disaster". This was similar to her method of combining the "War Bishop" gift with the witch's ability to instantly destroy all the opponent's mirror substitutes. It was difficult to be effective against beings with a higher sequence or status than herself.

Therefore, the surprise attack of the "Blue Witch" was most likely just a test to test whether Angel's mirror figure was truly indestructible, to test whether Angel's control over the mirror world was higher than that of an ordinary witch angel, and to test whether she could deal with the "Original Witch" sent by God.

But if that's the case, then it's a bit strange that the "God's Descent" was terminated prematurely at the moment when the mirror seal took effect...

What made Angel feel strange was not only the "test" that came to an abrupt end, but also the attitude of the "White Saint".

"She actually reminded me that the enemies of the 'Witch Cult' should be careful of being attacked... I thought the disagreements within the cult were just a struggle between different factions, but what Katarina did was equivalent to 'surrendering to the enemy'..."

While wondering, Angel followed the prayer sound that had just stopped and found the corresponding prayer light spot. His spirituality spread and the corresponding picture immediately appeared in front of him.

But all she saw was broken glass on the ground.

"Mirror double?"

Angel tried to trace the connection between the substitute and the real body, but found nothing. He realized that Catalina had cut off the connection with the substitute the moment the prayer ended, and her real body was most likely hiding inside the mirror world, concealing her whereabouts.

"Very cautious, worthy of being an 'immortal' witch who has survived the Fourth Epoch to this day... My Sequence 2 honorific name has a certain inheritance relationship with the 'Golden Queen', and it has been spread on the sea for some time, so it's not surprising that she knows about it. But the reason she secretly informed on me was to hedge her bets, or did she receive instructions from someone?"

Next to the gradually fading prayer light, Angel was lost in thought, and his figure instantly disappeared from the mirror world.

After a moment, she hurried back to the place and began to look for the remains of the "Reaper Legion".

That is a priceless Sequence 3 Seal!

After the regular meeting held every Wednesday, Leonard Mitchell walked out of the conference room, feeling a little tired. He watched several Mandated Punishers, Mechanical Hearts, and military members leave before coming to the first floor of St. Samuel's Church, entering the prayer hall from the side door, and taking a rest on a bench in the corner.

As the captain of the "Red Gloves" and the temporary leader of the "Tarot Club Investigation Team", Leonard not only had to deal with the frequent Beyonder cases in Backlund every day, and continue to track the movements of organizations such as the "Aurora Club", but also had to hold meetings every week to share the progress of the investigation with other partners. Even with the physique of an "Insomniac" who hardly needed sleep, it was a bit too much.

Of course, there is more than one reason why I can't bear it…

Recovering his somewhat scattered thoughts, Leonard thought of the new information he had just received. Angelica, the "Golden Queen" who was suspected to be a member of the Tarot Club, appeared on Sona Island deep in the violent sea five days ago and easily destroyed the port on the island without hurting anyone.

This apparently protest action angered the local "Manufactured Punishers", who quickly reported the matter to the Storm Church's overseas colony hub, the "Sea King" Yann Cotman, who guarded the Rorsted Islands and surrounding waters, hoping that he would punish this ignorant pirate queen.

But Lord Poseidon, who was usually very active in similar incidents, remained strangely silent. The information was passed to Backlund and placed on the table of the "Tarot Club Investigation Team".

Punishment? How to punish? This is a real angel, and a "witch" angel with unparalleled lethality and mobility. With the war between Loen and its neighboring countries tense and the main forces of the Storm Church on the front line to contain the enemy's Beyonders, the "Sea King" is already the strongest force they can mobilize.

And he is only a Sequence 3.

Leonard, who knew why the Storm Church had given him the cold shoulder, chuckled secretly. He knew why the "Golden Queen", "Miss Queen", and his former colleague Angel Granger appeared on Isla Sorna. Because at the Tarot Club the day before yesterday, "World" Klein mentioned in a private conversation with him that he had gone to the isolated "God-forsaken Land" through a "loophole" on Isla Sorna to pursue the ancient history he needed and to avoid being tracked by certain enemies. Angel was there to protect him.

The disaster that destroyed the port was caused by another "disaster" witch.

"This is another typical case of 'I investigate myself', and I can't possibly reveal my relationship with the 'Golden Queen', although the Archbishop may already know about it, otherwise he wouldn't have let Angel take Sherman away..."

Leonard muttered, and was about to stand up from the bench when he suddenly felt someone standing in front of him.

Daly Simone, who was wearing a hooded robe and light makeup, looked at him with interest and asked,

"I rarely see you come to church to pray recently. Why are you free today?"

"Just finished a meeting, taking a break," Leonard responded briefly, "Where's the captain?"

"He was transferred back to the sanctuary."

Speaking of this, Daly's face looked a little gloomy.

Tsk, this damn war, Ms. Daly just got engaged to the captain... Leonard also frowned, and was about to comment, but then he remembered that he had received some kind of "privilege" by staying in Backlund, and quickly changed the subject:

"Is the situation over there very tense?"

"It's even worse than what the newspapers say. The attacks of the Feysac army have slowed down in the deep winter, but the Beyonders' attempts have become more frequent." Daly simply sat next to Leonard and said in a low voice, "After a while, I may have to go and meet up with Dunn."

"ah?"

Leonard was very surprised.

He was not surprised that Dunn Smith was transferred back to the temple, because this senior deacon was already a Sequence 4 Night Watcher and possessed a holy object bestowed by the Goddess. His strength was also top-notch among the saints.

But "gatekeepers" like Daly Simone are different. In a war involving a large number of saints and even angels, they are almost cannon fodder at the bottom level. They are not even able to protect themselves, let alone create any value.

unless...

"You were also approved for promotion?"

He also asked in a low voice.

Daly nodded, her hood swaying.

"Recently, several 'gatekeepers' in the church who have been waiting for promotion but have not been approved have been notified that they can try to be promoted in the near future. The previously scarce magic potions are now in sufficient supply... I am one of them."

So fast... By the way, Ms. Daly is one of the few geniuses who has comprehended the "acting method" on her own, and I only know this because of the old man's reminder... Leonard was a little dazed for a moment. All his old acquaintances in Tingen City have become or are about to become demigods. His former "protagonists on the world stage" now seem so ridiculous.

But he immediately collected his thoughts and thought of the reason why the church accelerated the promotion of mid-sequence Beyonders to high-sequence Beyonders.

The first is naturally the need of war. This is not only true for the Church of Night, but also for the Church of Storms. Several "Wind-lovers" and "Ocean Singers" he knew, who had already met the conditions for promotion but were deliberately suppressed, have disappeared recently. Apparently, they have obtained new opportunities for promotion.

Secondly, at the Tarot Club, from the few words of Pales, Leonard also guessed that the reason why the Goddess of Night was in a bad state recently was probably related to the "God of Death" who had fallen long ago, and this god was the Sequence 0 True God of the path where the "Gatekeeper" was.

Could it be that the goddess is controlling the adjacent "Death" pathway... A terrible thought suddenly popped up in his mind, and he suddenly felt that the color of the Holy Emblem of Night on the stained glass in front of him had become darker.

…

After bidding farewell to Ms. Daly, Leonard got on the hired carriage heading to the East District. He looked out the window at the street scene that was constantly receding. He suddenly tilted his head and asked in a low voice:

"Old man, do you think I can have a chance to advance in this war if I don't delay any more and digest the 'Spiritual Witch' as ​​soon as possible?"

After a brief silence, he heard the old voice of Pales:

"What? Aren't you afraid of exposing your uniqueness?"

"I..."

Leonard hesitated.

"...I don't want Sherman to help me block the attack like last time..."

"And the anxiety of watching everyone you know ascend to demigod status, right?" Pales mercilessly exposed him, "If it weren't for the inexplicable luck of the 'Black Knight', I would have stolen his herding ability completely and made him lose control on the spot."

He immediately laughed in Leonard's mind and continued,

"But it's a good thing that you've become motivated now. Let's do this. When the Jacob family's exploration yields results, you can find an opportunity to capture a few powerful spirits in the suburbs of Backlund in the name of investigating the Tarot Club. With my help, this won't be a difficult task. Perhaps within two months, you'll be able to digest the Sequence 5 potion, and then reveal it to your archbishop..."

Leonard's frown gradually relaxed as he listened to Pales' plan. He asked curiously,

"Are we about to start the exploration of the treasure? Aren't you worried about any traps?"

"Heh, this is thanks to your former colleague. He went to the 'Forsaken Land of the Gods' in search of Beyonder characteristics that would allow him to advance to Sequence 2. This is bound to attract Amon's attention. With him as bait, I can relax for the time being."

Pales replied with a chuckle.

"Bait…" Leonard's expression changed. "Did you know that Amon was waiting for Klein in the God-Forsaken Land?"

"He must have known that Amon would try to capture him in order to find the Fool and obtain Sefirah Castle, but he still chose to go to the blocked continent to take risks and seek promotion, because only by becoming an angel can he have a chance to resist, rather than just running away.

"Rather than worrying about him, you should worry about yourself first."

Worried about myself... Leonard was startled, and the carriage happened to stop at this moment. A slender figure flashed by on the second floor of the building outside the window.

Leonard immediately forgot about Klein and Mr. Fool and jumped off the carriage in two or three steps.

————

"The Yellow and Black King who controls good luck...

"…Dear Mr. Fool, please pass these on to the hungry 'world' in the God-forsaken land."

After reciting the prayer, Angel opened his eyes and found that the whale oil used to keep the lantern burning, several packaged foods and a can of Black Bear Coke had disappeared, leaving only the candle used for prayer.

"Mr. Fool is very concerned about Klein's affairs. The possibility of my guess has increased…"

She muttered, extinguished the candle, and untied the spiritual wall. Before she could catch her breath, a figure wearing an intricate court dress and with nothing above her neck fell from the sky
