The Special Mirror World

Chapter 1086 The Special Mirror World

Having reached this point, Elaine calmed down completely.

At this time, she had already gone deep into the underground mausoleum. According to the map, it was probably right below the square in front of the Church of Knowledge, but it should be more than a hundred meters from the ground. Even the vertical distance exceeded the limit of the "Pain" witch using the mirror substitute to transfer. What's more, the place above should be full of rioting exiles, and there were no mirrors that could be used for transfer.

At this point, unless she returns the same way and gives up competing with Guxin and Lisa for the "Salinger Blood Flag", thus making two months of hard work go to waste, there is only one way forward.

Not to mention, she felt that she still had certain advantages.

The unexpected dual path, the powerful "Rose Necklace", Miss Angelica's gaze, and the holy emblem that may be able to keep me safe in the dark, and most importantly, knowledge itself is power... Thoughts were surging in her mind. She held the lantern in one hand and touched the wall with the other, continuing to move forward along the wall, and soon came to the entrance of the hall in her memory.

On the map, this area is marked blank and is undoubtedly the most special.

The destination of each of Elaine's nightmares is the pile of corpses in the hall. They all end with her looking up to the top of the mountain and suffering the pain of being burned by flames. She has a strong curiosity about what the situation is like at the top of the mountain of corpses.

As she got closer to the hall, the desire to tear off the blindfold and see the surrounding scene with her own eyes became stronger and stronger. If her hands were not busy at the moment, she would have been unable to resist pulling the black cloth.

If Miss Angelica had not reminded me of these taboos, and I had read relevant books under the guidance of Archbishop Heraberg, I might have taken the risk of taking off the blindfold and taking a look... Elaine was terrified, and the scenes she saw in the nightmare involuntarily emerged in her mind.

In the huge space that was so wide that it didn't seem like it was underground and was over a hundred meters high, countless steel puppets holding weapons formed a circle. Inside was a wasteland filled with charred bones or corpses that still had some body tissues. In the center, a mountain made up of corpses almost touched the ceiling. The top was shrouded in clouds and mist, making it difficult to see the specific objects.

And Elaine was walking into the encirclement of the soldiers, stepping onto the road paved by corpses with dark red or pale flames burning in their eye sockets.

Her vision, which was originally completely dark due to closing her eyes and covering her eyes with a cloth, gradually overlapped with the scenes in her dream, as if she was walking in a nightmare again.

Suddenly, she found that her pace accelerated uncontrollably. She stepped over the corpses and began to climb the mountain that seemed to have no top.

Wait... No... I'm being controlled? Controlled by a sealed object?

Elaine still had her own consciousness in her mind. She tried her best to stop her legs from moving forward, and soon found that her body was back under her control, as if everything just now was just part of a nightmare. She woke up suddenly, stood still, and stopped in front of the pile of corpses, only one step away from the real "hillside".

"I can move again... That wasn't an illusion just now. Some kind of power in the Corpse Mountain was trying to control me, making me a real puppet and a part of the mountain...

"This should be the pollution mentioned in the 'Principle of Sealing'. If it reaches a certain level, I will completely become a part of the underground mausoleum… No wonder those 'experimenters' abide by the taboos but still continue to decrease. They need to be replenished from time to time. Repeated entry and exit of the mausoleum will deepen the pollution and eventually become part of the mountain of corpses!

"And the books I read about the underground mausoleum and the Sealed Objects allowed me to be relatively safe from contamination while gradually understanding them. It was not until I dreamed of this mountain that Heraberg said, 'The time is almost here.' Now the contamination I have suffered is at the critical point where I can approach the Corpse Mountain without being completely controlled. Is this the basis for getting close to the Sealed Object?

"Not entirely true. If there was such a critical point of safety, many of the 'experimenters' would have escaped long ago... Is it because of my own uniqueness? The uniqueness that Miss Angelica's 'gift' gave me?"

Elaine's thoughts were working at a speed that surprised even herself, but her feet were about to move forward again, but she controlled them in time.

It's still trying to control me... Let's leave this hall first and find another way... She was thinking, and was about to move away from the Mountain of Corpses before it was completely controlled, when she suddenly heard a slight friction sound next to her ear.

It was the sound of fabric rubbing against each other, like the sound of an indistinguishable insect, but in the silent hall of corpses, it was very clear to Elaine's ears, who had the keen sense of a hunter and a witch.

It was different from the noise Gu Xin had deliberately made before, and if he showed up, he would definitely bring a soldier doll with him... Could it be Lisa? Lisa, the "painful" witch, who used "invisibility" to eliminate most of the noise, but also suffered a certain degree of contamination and involuntarily moved towards the Corpse Mountain? Elaine made an immediate judgment.

She was not sure whether the other party had some kind of vision like Gu Xin, so she could only treat him as an enemy with normal vision. Therefore, she no longer stayed beside the mountain of corpses, but immediately turned around and ran towards the entrance of the hall.

But just as Elaine was moving away from the corpses and skeletons, countless gazes suddenly gathered on her from all directions. Some came from the various puppets surrounding the hall, some came from the corpses lying on the ground forming a huge mountain, and there was also a malicious gaze that came from nowhere.

Malice perception!

Elaine switched the soul shepherded by the "Rose Necklace" again, trying to determine where Lisa's hatred came from, but she found that this knife-like sight sometimes shot at her from the left, sometimes from the right, and sometimes even from above, as if many "pain" witches were planning to kill her in their hearts.

Elaine, who had been a witch for nearly a month, immediately realized that this was the effect of the other party hiding in the "mirror world" and spying on her through different mirrors.

But isn't the mirror world in the underground mausoleum area shrouded in a layer of impenetrable fog... How dare she enter there and create false sounds, making me think she was controlled and exposed?

Is this what Lisa relied on to enter the underground mausoleum, her unique "advantage"?

Elaine's thoughts raced, and she no longer hesitated. Incandescent flames suddenly ignited around her, turning into winged fire crows, flying towards the "malicious" sources in different directions, exploding sparks and igniting the skeletonized corpses that had not yet completely rotted.

At the same time, the crisp sound of mirrors breaking reached her ears.

As expected, Lisa was the first to enter here, and she even had time to set up her own magic mirror. Fortunately, her malicious intentions exposed the location of the mirror... Elaine was just overwhelmed with joy at solving the opponent's trap, when she suddenly felt the ground shaking and her body shook uncontrollably.

Boom boom

The entire underground mausoleum made a huge noise, and the lifeless corpses around it kept shaking. The corpses on the top of the mountain were thrown down by the vibration, rolling down the hillside and falling beside Elaine; the soldier puppets surrounding the wilderness of corpses also stood unsteadily, and their heavy feet made clanging sounds on the floor.

But in between, there was a regular, continuous sound of footsteps approaching Elaine.

It's Guxin, he's back with new puppets!

Three hunters and witches representing different forces who chose to enter the underground mausoleum at the same time finally met in the core area of the seal.

Elaine was not surprised but happy, realizing that now was a great opportunity to deal with the two competitors. However, she was not prepared to fight in the corpse hall where something strange had occurred. Instead, based on the angle of the footsteps made by Gu Xin's puppets, she changed direction and continued to move away from the Corpse Mountain, intending to leave from another entrance marked on the map and lead the enemy into a familiar terrain that was more suitable for her to fight.

"Guxin, the witch is here too!"

She also shouted to remind Gu Xin that Lisa was ambushing in the dark. Of course, this sentence could also mislead the "pain" witch, making the latter think that the two hunters had formed an alliance and turn their spearheads to Gu Xin and his puppets, who were obviously more difficult to deal with.

If only the two of them would fight first... Elaine wished in her heart.

But before she could withdraw from the hall that was shaking continuously and filled with skeletons and corpses, the vibration that seemed to shake the entire underground area of Morola suddenly disappeared, and the clanging sound of the soldiers and puppets shaking all around also stopped abruptly.

The change disappeared?

Elaine was suspicious, and her pace towards the entrance of the hall slowed down quietly, and she pricked up her ears to listen to the movements around her.

Not to mention the vibration, even the footsteps of Guxin's puppets rushing towards her disappeared, leaving only deathly silence. The "Ice Mirror" charm hidden in her pocket exuded an icy touch through her clothes, as if it had turned into ice.

The spell responded, the vibration and footsteps suddenly disappeared... Elaine had a guess in her heart, she stroked the "Dark Holy Emblem" tied on her wrist, feeling its completely different feel from before, she decisively reached out to take off the black cloth covering her eyes, and opened her eyes.

She was currently standing in a corner of a hall as vast as a wasteland, surrounded by steel puppets facing inwards and holding weapons. The area they were surrounded by was littered with countless charred skeletons and corpses that had not yet decayed, with dark red or pale flames quietly burning in their eye sockets.

In the center of the wasteland, a mountain made up of more of the same corpses stood, over a hundred meters high, almost touching the ceiling of the underground area. On the top was a concave platform, and Elaine could not see the whole picture from her current perspective.

In this dark and silent hall, where the only light sources were the flames in the corpse's eye sockets and the lantern held by Elaine, there were two other people standing besides herself.

The "Harvester" Gu Xin, wearing leather clothes and with messy hair, was standing next to the entrance where Elaine had entered the hall before. There was nothing around him, and the puppet soldiers he controlled had long disappeared.

At the foot of the mountain of corpses, the beautiful "pain" witch Lisa, wearing a high-slit low-cut long skirt, stood among the corpses, looking at the two of them with a half-smile.

She wore a sapphire ring on her left pinky finger.

Apart from the three people, everything else, including the iron puppets surrounding the hall, the countless corpses piled on the ground, and even the ceiling above and the connected vaults and stone walls, seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier that people could see but could not touch.

Seeing this scene, Elaine was completely relieved.

With her perception as a fellow "pain" witch, the power of the ice mirror spell in her arms, and the various knowledge she had recently learned, she was certain that both she and Gu Xin were pulled into the mirror world by Lisa, who was wearing a strange gem ring, at the moment the strange change happened just now.

Moreover, it is different from the dark and deep world, which has countless dark passages!

(End of this chapterGod's Container?

Chapter 1087 God's Container?

On the ground, the entire "City of Exile" Morola has fallen into absolute chaos. All law enforcement teams have shrunk to the city center to protect the entrance to the underground mausoleum and the library-like knowledge church. After smashing, looting and burning in the streets and venting their long-accumulated anger, almost all the exiles who participated in the riots began to gather in the church square.

"There are already more than 20,000 people... maybe close to 30,000. The square is almost full..."

William looked down from the top of the church with a monocular telescope, quickly calculated the approximate number of the mob, and said to Tia beside him.

The latter stroked a crystal-like talisman, sensing that the specially marked mirrors she had originally arranged near the square had lost contact one by one in the riot, and her expression became more and more anxious.

"Your Excellency the Archbishop," she said to Herraberg, who was also standing by the window with a calm expression, "If this riot continues to develop, it may destroy the entire city."

The old man, who was holding the book in one hand and had the other hand behind his back, did not say anything. He just smiled slightly and shook his head, as if to say "this is absolutely impossible."

But in the square below, the limited number of law enforcement officers had been surrounded by a mob that was dozens of times their number. The situation was precarious, and William and Tia did not believe that the Church of Knowledge could hold out for too long, until the moment Elaine returned to the ground.

At this moment, some subtle changes occurred on the battlefield below.

Originally, most of the exiles did not want to lose their lives in the riots. They just instigated their companions to attack the law enforcers so that they could take the opportunity to gain some benefits. It would be best if they could drive the Church of Knowledge out of the city and no longer be bound by rules and regulations.

But suddenly, a strong desire to fight surged in the hearts of these exiles with ulterior motives. Their timid steps became firm, and they rushed fearlessly towards the black-robed law enforcers who were fully armed and had combat power far exceeding that of ordinary people.

The law enforcers who had been relatively restrained and focused on defense before no longer held back. A considerable number of them were already Extraordinary People, and there were even mid-Sequence Hunters, Prisoners, and Warriors. Flames, frost, and morning light exploded in the crowd, and the smell of burning and blood gradually filled the square.

In the highest room of the church, William and Tia looked at the sudden changes on the battlefield below in surprise, and then looked at each other with confusion in their eyes.

But the next second, the doubt in Tia's dark gray eyes turned into horror, her moist lips opened wide, pointing at William's neck and exclaimed:

"Your neck is bleeding!"

At the same time, William also felt a sharp pain in his neck. His head seemed to be pulled upward by an invisible hand. Even his cervical vertebrae made cracking sounds and were almost torn apart.

He pressed one hand on his head to protect it and covered his neck with the other hand. He felt the sticky blood oozing out from between his fingers. His breathing became gradually difficult and his vision became dim as if he was losing blood.

At this time, Heraberg reached out his hand to touch the top of his head and pressed lightly. With a click, William's head, which was about to tear muscles and break cervical vertebrae and leave the body, returned to its original position, and the pulling force disappeared without a trace.

"It seems that you have read a lot of books with your captain. This is a good habit. Knowledge is useful at any time."

He said in a relieved tone, coming to the window and looking at the square below.

Among the mob, whose number has exceeded 30,000, many have shown similar situations to William. Most of them are "old residents" who have stayed in Morola for many years and have gradually been polluted.

The same situation is also spreading rapidly among the law enforcement team composed of "experimental personnel".

Swoosh——

The first head that left the body appeared. It flew up with a white spine that was slightly bloodshot, rising into the sky on its own. Its headless body chased the head below, knocking away one exile after another who were covering their necks and pressing their heads.

Swish, swish, more heads flew into the sky.

Watching this scene, the corners of Heraberg's mouth were still slightly upturned, as if he was smiling, but his amber eyes were cold.

Suddenly, his eyes turned as dark as the night, and a peaceful aura emanated from him, passing through the window and pouring onto the square below, darkening the entire sky, including the clouds that were gradually gathering to appear like a fire.

In the church square, whether it was the headless body chasing the head, or the increasingly brutal mob that disregarded life and death, or even the law enforcers who were under unified command and had a tendency to turn defense into offense, their movements became slow, as if they were about to fall asleep in the quiet atmosphere.

————

In the underground mausoleum, inside a special mirror world.

The moment she opened her eyes and locked onto the positions of the other two enemies, Elaine distanced herself from them, used the witch's "Invisibility" to disappear from their sight, and at the same time spread high-temperature resistant pathogens. The "Rose Necklace" also quietly switched to the soul of the "Law Mage".

Not knowing whether the two would prioritize dealing with her, she could only prepare to fight one against two.

Compared to the "reaper" Gu Xin, who is somehow able to control the underground mausoleum soldiers but is alone at this time, he pulls everyone into the mirror world. Lisa, who has a calm expression and wears a strange ring, is more worthy of her vigilance.

Perhaps, she is the strongest among the three... Elaine thought about it and quietly stepped back a few steps, wanting Gu Xin to "taste" the power of the witch of pain first.

But Gu Xin's attention was not on Elaine at all. He just glanced at Lisa standing among the corpses and showed horror on his face. He shouted at the place where Elaine disappeared:

"That ring! She is the divine vessel of the 'Original Witch'!"

God descended... what is that?

Elaine's brain was stagnant for a moment, and then she understood the meaning of this word from Gu Xin's mouth.

This means that Lisa may have the power of the true god at the top of the "Witch" path!

Even if it is only one percent or one thousandth, it is still the status of a true god, and it is definitely not something that she and Gu Xin, two mid-sequence extraordinary people who are not even demigods, can deal with.

But a question immediately popped up in her mind:

If Lisa really possessed such power, would she have been beaten and fled last time?

Either there is a limit on the number of times it can be used, or the side effects are so severe that she is reluctant to use it even if her life is in danger, until she enters the underground mausoleum and comes to the core of the seal... Elaine seems to have realized something, her eyes fell on the sapphire ring on Lisa's finger, and she guessed that this item is the key to "God's Descent".

Before she could make any further move, the sapphire drew an elegant arc. Lisa raised her left hand high, smiling, with a bright and generous look between her eyebrows, which made Elaine, who was invisible, unable to take his eyes off Gu Xin, who had just blurted out the last word of the shout.

Immediately, a huge red-hot meteorite with a tail of flame appeared above the three people's heads, and it was smashing towards the wilderness filled with corpses and soldier dolls at an extremely fast speed, and towards the position of Elaine and Gu Xin.

In this special mirror world, the witch's invisibility has no effect on Lisa!

Elaine, who instantly realized this, no longer hid her figure, but raised her right hand to point at the meteorite falling rapidly in the sky, and announced in ancient Hermes:

"Meteorites are prohibited from falling here!"

This kind of clearly targeted ban usually has an immediate effect, but the unstoppable meteorite showed no reaction at all and continued to accelerate towards the ground.

The "Lawmaster" is Sequence 4... Could it be that this witch has surpassed this level and even reached the status of an angel just by using the sapphire ring? The "Original Witch" should not have descended yet... Elaine's expression froze. Seeing that the meteorite was unstoppable, she immediately turned her target to Lisa herself. A spear that combined the black and white flames of the witch and the hunter took shape in an instant and was thrown at her.

But the next second, the burning meteorite fell to the ground, and flames, dust and shock waves instantly swept across the entire wilderness, drowning the figures of Elaine and Gu Xin.

Lisa was still standing there. The impact and high temperature passed by her, only lifting her skirt and making her long black hair dance like a poisonous snake. The pitch-black flaming spear lost control and failed to hit the witch.

In her sight, the flames gradually died down, and a molten crater appeared on the dusty wasteland.

Farther away, pieces of crimson scales as red as moonlight turned into human form, and Elaine's pale figure appeared; at the other end of the crater, Gu Xin was burning with flames all over his body, his limbs were still intact, but a small metal doll in his arms had broken into several sections and fell to the ground.

At the moment the meteorite fell, Elaine switched the necklace to the soul of the "Crimson Scholar" and used "moonlight" instead of a mirror substitute to avoid the explosion.

This was the right choice based on her spiritual intuition, because at the moment of the explosion, she found that all the mirrors she carried and secretly threw in other places were locked by Lisa. Even the magic mirrors stained with her blood and with mystical connections could not be used. If she relied on these mirrors as a substitute, she would have been killed just now!

This is the high-level suppression of the witch. Under that ring, the dual channels that I thought were powerful enough are simply a joke... Her thoughts turned rapidly, and her eyes swept to Gu Xin, who also avoided the meteorite explosion.

The "reaper" who escaped the disaster by using a disposable substitute doll, half-closed his eyes without waiting for the flames on his body to go out, and recited in ancient Hermetic language at a very fast speed:

"The great god of war, the symbol of iron and blood, the master of turmoil and strife..."

As he pronounced the three-part honorific name, the entire special mirror world seemed to become dim, and even the flames caused by the meteorite explosion shook, as if some great existence was about to descend here.

Lisa raised her left hand again, ready to summon the second meteorite. She opened her eyes wide and looked at Gu Xin curiously. Her eyes were as innocent as a child's, as if she was expecting something.

…

In Elaine's expectant eyes and Lisa's deliberate waiting, nothing happened.

The most surprised one was Gu Xin, who raised his arms as if to welcome the arrival of some being. He had a dull expression and looked around, not knowing whether he should put down his raised hands.

"How about I give you some time to read it again?"

Lisa's voice became increasingly sweet and playful, causing Gu Xin's face to turn completely pale and lose all color.

Only then did he realize that he was just an abandoned pawn of that great being, a tool like the countless exiles he had sent out to explore the mausoleum.

The power to control the puppets and avoid contamination is just the money he pays for his life.

No wonder Iris Medici looked at me for the last time as if she was saying goodbye... His mouth was dry and there was no light in his eyes anymore.

"hehe..."

Amid Lisa's low, heart-twisting and desperate laughter, the second meteorite appeared again in the sky above the mirror world, smashing towards the ground with the same tail of flame.

Then the third, the fourth...

Five meteorites fell one after another. This time, even if Elaine turned herself into moonlight, she could not avoid the explosion that would completely cover the entire space.

Looking at the flames that almost filled the sky, the ruby on Elaine's chest kept flashing, sometimes revealing deep blue, sometimes containing lava. Various abilities flashed quickly in her mind, but none of them could solve these meteorites that were most likely brought by the witch with angel status and save her life.

Unless I can escape from this mirror world... That's right!

Elaine's eyes lit up, and then turned dark gold, and the "rose necklace" on her neck also emitted the same light.

"Lawmaster," "Deprive!"

She pointed forward, her eyes fixed on Lisa's charming and seductive body, and shouted in ancient Hermetic language.

It's useless. The power of "Disaster" comes from the original gift, from this ring which is equivalent to a "0" level seal. It cannot be affected by you and that necklace... Lisa squinted at Elaine who was struggling in vain. Hatred rose in her heart again. She had already imagined what the other person would look like after being burned into a charred corpse by the successive high temperatures and shock waves. A sense of sadistic pleasure arose spontaneously.

But then, she discovered that the special mirror world that was originally dark and illuminated by the fire of the meteorite suddenly became bright, as if the outside was being burned, and invisible flames poured into this space from all directions, almost breaking it.

Impossible... Is this special mirror world about to collapse?

Lisa's eyes widened slightly, and then she immediately understood the problem.

Her ability to control the "mirror world" was taken away by Elaine!

This was not a gift from the original witch, nor did it involve her angelic status. It was just that with the enhancement of the sapphire ring, she, who was originally only a witch of "pain", could possess the ability of "despair" in advance.

When the "Blood Flag of Salinger" on the outside was touched by the fire set by Elaine before and began to spontaneously try to conquer this mirror world, Lisa lost this ability, which was equivalent to giving up control of it.

The invisible flames that gradually poured in from everywhere destroyed the barrier between the real world and the mirror world, completely destroying this space.

There was a creaking sound of glass being crushed, and the mountains of corpses, burning meteorites and vast wilderness in front of Elaine, Gu Xin and Lisa appeared like a broken mirror with countless cracks, shattered quickly, and then replaced by another scene.

It was a platform at the top of a mountain covered with fog that blocked off the spirit and vision, and was made up of countless corpses. Invisible flames emerged and extinguished from the corpses. In the center of the crowd, a two or three meter high iron-black metal pole stood upright in the middle, with a burnt flag hanging on the top. There were a lot of dark red and black blood spots on the flag, and traces of blood everywhere.

That is the uniqueness of the "Red Priest" path, the level 0 seal numbered "01", the "Blood Flag of Salinger" that controls Morola and is sealed by MorolaArrival

Chapter 1088

The moment Elaine came into view of the charred flag on the top of the Corpse Mountain, she felt as if her body no longer belonged to her. Something seemed to be trying to break out of her body between her eyebrows, and there was a sharp pain in her neck, as if her head was being pulled upwards by an invisible hand.

Not only her, but also Lisa and Guxin, who fell back to the real world together and landed on the top of the mountain because the special mirror world was eroded and conquered by flames, encountered a similar situation.

Elaine noticed from the corner of her eye that Gu Xin had raised his hands to hold his head to suppress it from trying to leave his body. He didn't even bother to cover his neck which was gushing blood and whose muscles and skin were completely torn. Lisa's landing point was slightly farther away from the "Salinger Blood Flag" and she was less affected, but her neck and limbs became stiff, and she had lost all the momentum of giving orders and commanding the meteorites in the mirror world.

Compared to Gu Xin, Elaine, who was closest to the charred flag, was still able to maintain a certain degree of self-esteem, which made her wonder if she had received extra favor from the seal.

No, it should be because I read about it in advance and was already contaminated accordingly. Now the "newly added" contamination level is even lower. The other two also know some information about "0-01". Otherwise, I would have become its puppet as soon as I landed on the top of the mountain...

Thoughts raced through Elaine's mind as she struggled to move her loose neck with cracked skin. She turned her head away from the blood flag of Salinger and only then did she feel the force that was about to leave her head lessen.

What a good opportunity! The top of this mountain of corpses doesn't seem to be affected by the taboo of "blindfolded eyes and with light". I can solve two big troubles in one fell swoop before they break free from the control of this power... Elaine's eyes had just locked onto Lisa, who was staring blankly at the flag, and her hand had not yet condensed into a flaming spear, when she felt a deep and tranquil power coming from above her head.

It came from the ground above the ceiling, penetrating the thick soil and obstructing vision, like a swirling mist, and accurately fell on the charred surface of the "0-01" flag, condensing into impenetrable darkness.

At that moment, even the invisible flames around them dimmed, and the blood-stained marks on the charred flags seemed to merge into the deep darkness. The power controlling Elaine, Lisa, and Gu Xin immediately weakened, causing them to go from extreme tension and panic to drowsiness and wanting to fall into a beautiful and peaceful dream.

It's… a "dark" path… Elaine seemed to understand something, and guessed that something might have changed in the church square above her head, affecting the "0-01" below that was trying to break free from the seal, suppressing its power.

The advantage of the change is that she will not face the threat of "being separated from her head and body" or becoming a puppet for the time being. The disadvantage is, of course, that the other two competitors have also broken free from the pollution and have regained their ability to move.

Gu Xin pressed the bloody neck tightly, turned his head that belonged to him again, glanced at Elaine and Lisa, and immediately summoned the soldier puppets that he had "connected" to before but were isolated from the special mirror world. Dull footsteps came from the bottom of the corpse mountain, followed by the sound of climbing the mountain. In just a few seconds, five two-meter-tall steel puppets holding giant swords, hammers and spears climbed up the mountain and joined the battle.

I thought that after his prayer was not answered, he had been abandoned by the "great being", but I didn't expect that the power to control the puppets still remained in him... Elaine looked at him in surprise, and her eyes met Gu Xin's eyes full of hatred and indomitable spirit. She guessed what the other party was thinking at the moment:

he wanted to obtain the power of the seal and prove to the "great god of war" that it was a mistake for the other party to abandon him.

But before that…

The two nodded imperceptibly, and then looked at the witch Lisa who had recovered from her dazed state after being temporarily suppressed by "0-01".

There is no doubt that she, who was able to summon meteorites to attack them and is qualified as a "God's Container", is the biggest threat at the moment.

The two hunters formed a brief anti-witch alliance without saying a word.

Bang, bang, bang——

Except for a soldier puppet holding a giant sword who was still protecting Gu Xin, the remaining four took a step forward and rushed towards Lisa, stepping on the charred bones and rotten corpses that had been piled here for who knows how many years. Gu Xin, who gave the order, also condensed countless fire crows formed by incandescent flames beside him and smashed them at the opponent like a cannonball.

Amidst the dazzling flames, Elaine suddenly noticed that the flag, which was covered by a deep black layer and had lost its original color, began to flutter again in the windless environment, revealing a charred corner and spots of blood.

Will the flame or the high temperature awaken "0-01" and allow it to try to break free from the seal? Elaine was not sure about this guess, but she was more certain when she thought that the first change in the situation after entering the hall was after she threw the flame.

But with a powerful enemy at hand, even if she didn't light the fire, Gu Xin and Lisa would not hold back. Therefore, Elaine did not try to remind Gu Xin, but condensed a deep black flame spear that combined white incandescent flames and cursed black flames, held it in her hand as a melee weapon, leaped forward, and arrived next to Lisa, who was the first to arrive.

The witch seemed to realize at this moment that she had become the target of the other two people. Her deep black eyes looked over with a half-smile on her face.

Then, under the continuous attacks of black flames and giant swords and spears, she turned into crystal mirror fragments on the ground, and her real body walked out slowly in another direction from the top of the mountain, with her left hand wearing a sapphire ring raised high, which made Elaine and Gu Xin tremble in their hearts.

Both of them were holding back their energy, just in case they encountered the unavoidable meteor shower again.

But when Lisa put her hand down again, all that appeared in the air were dark cursed flames, which flew towards Elaine and Gu Xin with extreme precision. Some were intercepted by fire crows in the air, and some were thrown away by the two people who turned into flaming spears, without any success.

But taking advantage of the opportunity when they were dodging, Lisa took out a small dressing mirror and aimed it at Gu Xin, who was distracted by directing the puppets to surround her, so he was a little slow in action. His hand stained with black flames wiped towards his figure fixed on the mirror.

puff--

Gu Xin, who was hiding behind the sword-wielding soldier puppet under spiritual alert, paused and spat out a mouthful of blood burning with black flames, but was not killed directly by the curse.

The five puppets he commanded suffered varying degrees of damage, with their thick armor plates falling off one after another and black flames raging in their hollow interiors.

It is the power of "connection"... Elaine, who had learned about the hunter and witch demigod abilities from Miss Angelica in advance, looked at Lisa and declared in ancient Hermes:

"It is forbidden to curse others here!"

She did not try to deprive the other party of the ability to use black flames because as hunters, she and Gu Xin both needed the help of fire more, and curses were the witch's specialty.

As for equally dangerous diseases, their effectiveness was extremely limited on the top of a fire-covered mountain.

The ban took effect instantly, and Guxin and his puppets were immediately freed from the curse that was burning from the inside out.

This made Elaine feel a little confused: after leaving the special mirror world, the witch who could summon meteorites and regarded them as ants just now seemed to have become much weaker. Not only did the ban no longer work on her, but the meteorites that had destroyed the world before never appeared again.

No, it should be said that she has returned to her normal level. She is the "painful" witch who has some demigod power after putting on the ring, but does not have the corresponding divinity and status... Only in that mirror world can she summon meteorites and resist the ban of the "Law Mage"?

After realizing this, Elaine no longer held back her strength. The black flames of destruction that were a combination of the Hunter and Witch's paths emerged from her hands and transformed into two spears. She threw one out quickly while holding the other in her palm, waiting for the opponent to change position through the mirror substitute before delivering a second blow.

Like her, Gu Xin also noticed the sudden decrease in the power of the "Pain" witch, and sent out the last soldier puppet beside him. Five tall steel soldiers surrounded her and almost drowned the petite Lisa.

Bang——

A violent explosion sounded, and black flames enveloped the soldier doll and Lisa. The sound of the mirror shattering reached Elaine's ears as expected. She quickly swept her eyes across the top of the entire mountain of corpses, carefully avoiding "0-01" and trying to find the witch's real body.

"She's moving closer to that flag!"

Gu Xin, who was also observing his surroundings, suddenly shouted, not caring about the contamination of the seal, and his eyes stayed below the flag with a deep black surface.

Next to the iron-black metal pole, the figure of Lisa with black hair and black skirt appeared. She stretched out her hand, which had been cut at some point and was bleeding dark red blood, and touched the flag that was moving without wind.

She repeatedly used the mirror as a substitute, pretending to be defeated by the two, all in order to quietly approach the "Blood Flag of Salinger"!

Elaine's spirit inexplicably became alert, realizing that the blood of this witch must not be stained on the surface of "0-01".

The rose necklace on her neck, which had not had its soul replaced in order to maintain the "deprivation", flashed a dark golden light, and dazzling lightning lit up in her pupils. The "mental piercing" was about to fall on Lisa, but Gu Xin, who reacted faster, had already turned into a flaming spear and flew towards the "Salinger Blood Flag".

No, did he also want to smear blood on the flag? Could that be the real way to control this seal? Elaine's mind raced, and "Spirit Piercing" immediately changed its target.

"ah!"

Gu Xin, who had turned into flames, felt his head being pierced and twisted several times by a dagger. He involuntarily turned back into human form, staggered two steps before standing firm, and let out a scream that was both angry and confused.

Of course, Elaine did not forget to reach out to touch the flag. Lisa's movements became slower and slower but always firm. Invisible threads stretched out from all directions, tightly binding her arm, leaving countless bloody marks on her skin.

Combined with the hunter's "precise" thread, it is much more powerful than the power exerted by a simple witch!

But Lisa did not panic because her arms and even half of her body were bound and she was unable to break free. She summoned her own invisible silk threads, and lines that were imperceptible to the naked eye brushed across her bloody arms, weaving a dark red spider web on her side.

Then, the blood-red spider web covered "0-01", and the witch's blood was imprinted on the charred flag wrapped in darkness.

No! Gu Xin, whose mind was still in a state of chaos after being "pierced by the spirit", roared silently.

Elaine also looked at the "Salinger Blood Flag" nervously, not knowing for a moment whether she was looking forward to or worried about how things would develop.

But the deep black that sank from the church square on the ground into the hall and covered the surface of the flag did not dissipate. Lisa's blood was like a stone sinking into the sea, without causing any changes.

Was the blood devoured by the power that sealed the flag? Was "0-01" back under control?

Just as Elaine had made her guess, an invisible and colorless flame gushed out from the inside of the flag, completely devouring the deep black that enveloped it. The flag that had been scorched and had a lot of dark red blood spots and bloodstains on its surface reappeared before her eyes.

At the same time, an earthquake occurred again that shook the entire underground mausoleum and caused the mountain of corpses to shake continuously. Even the iron-black flagpole inserted on the top of the mountain began to shake.

No, it was the shaking of the flagpole that caused the mountain and the entire mausoleum to vibrate.

In the battle between three witches and hunters, and stimulated by the burning of various flames, the "Blood Flag of Salinger" once again broke free from its seal!

The blood-stained flag fluttered upwards without wind, and the power that made people want to kneel down and surrender surged up again. The first to be affected was Lisa, who was standing under the flagpole and trying to get her hands on the sealed object.

Her ears buzzed and she lost control of her body. All she could see were the fluttering flags. She felt a sharp pain between her eyebrows, as if something was trying to drill out of her head.

"Why... staining the flag with blood... has no effect...

"I... am going to become its... puppet..."

Thoughts emerged one after another with difficulty in her mind, and finally stopped at the honorific name of "Original Witch".

"The witch who controls chaos..."

The next second, the sapphire ring on her finger emitted a dazzling light, and the entire ring melted and flowed into her body, bringing a huge force that far exceeded her body's endurance.

This power caused the blood mark that had appeared between her brows to quickly fade away. Her hair floated up and became thicker and longer, with a mouth and eyes growing at the ends. Her pupils were completely black and lost focus.

A force that was a mixture of destruction and disaster, yet also made people feel charming and fanciful, suddenly swept across the entire Corpse Mountain with Lisa as the center. Even the fluttering blood flag of Salinger paused for a moment, as if attracted by the owner of the breath.

Elaine and Gu Xin stood there in a daze, their hearts filled with fear, their bodies petrified and unable to move.

Lisa, who was already filled with despair and was about to become a puppet of "0-01", suddenly moved. Her severed arm healed naturally, her skin became smoother and more tender, and her head with long and thick black hair dancing turned towards the two of them. Her pure black eyes revealed a tenderness that made people yearn for it.

The evil god believed in by the witch sect, the existence at the top of the witch path, the power of the "Original Witch" descended upon Lisa
