Chapter 1138: Non-Beyonder and Sealed Artifact Combinations (Thanks to sanrin for the Silver Alliance support)

Amon, who had resolved the Charat figure through a crushing of status and a sneak ambush, looked at the various battlefields still raging in the depths of the mirror world. He did not participate and vanished from the spot, leaving only Charat and his marionettes behind.

Inside one of the battlefields.

The "Witch of Black" Clarice, having returned from the gloom, utilized the mirror world to rapidly create multiple mirror projections at different locations, some real and some false.

This was to evade the "Transfiguration Curse" from the "Silent Disciple" opposite her.

Although the "Calamity of Crimson" crown was a Grade 0 Sealed Artifact, it provided no ability or trait to counter the "Transfiguration Curse." Relying solely on Clarice herself to withstand it would certainly result in her turning into a perfectly ordinary yet charming sheep, piglet, or rabbit, losing almost all her abilities and traits.

In that state, Clarice would not only be unable to use the "Calamity of Crimson," but would also be struck dead on the spot by the Sealed Artifact's negative effects.

Even if she were lucky and the negative effects weren't triggered, what could a sheep or some other animal without Beyonder abilities do against a Sequence 3 Saint?

She would only be left to be slaughtered!

More importantly, the Demoness Sect had deep roots in the Southern Continent and had clashed with the Rose School of Thought many times in the past. The "Witch of Black" knew very well that once a "Transfiguration Curse" was cast, it didn't just affect the reality of the self; it included the mirror self—the two were symmetrical.

Furthermore, after turning into an animal with no ability to resist, it would be very easy for the enemy to capture her. By leveraging the connection between the main body and resurrection setups, they could unearth every single sleeping mirror hidden in secret locations.

Once that happened, the tricky-to-kill "Ageless Demoness" would be truly dead.

The Demoness Sect's experience in dealing with the "Transfiguration Curse" was: if the enemy wasn't at the Angel level and could only target a single individual, one should hide the main body through "Mirror Projections" and other means. If the opponent was already an Angel, one had to be highly vigilant, ready at all times to use a "Mirror Substitute" preemptively, and keep a lethal pathogen hidden in the mouth—if one failed to dodge the curse and truly turned into an animal, one should use it to commit suicide immediately.

Currently, the "Witch of Black" was employing the first method. This was not only because the "Silent Disciple" Sharon opposite her was only a Sequence 3 Saint, but also because Clarice herself wanted to curse the opponent as well.

Relying on the mirror projections created by the "Calamity of Crimson," each one possessed a certain amount of power and could use eyes as a medium to curse the target—the curse of a Demoness.

With so many mirror projections, the "Witch of Black" believed that at least one would be able to capture the enemy's figure and complete the curse. Even if the curse didn't originate from the main body and couldn't reach the level of severely wounding or killing the target, it could still deeply affect them, providing an opportunity for subsequent attacks.

At the same time, the "Witch of Black" Clarice let the "Calamity of Crimson" atop her head shine.

She brought a calamity to this battlefield.

The calamity was the inch-by-inch collapse and disintegration of the corresponding area in the mirror world.

This not only restricted the enemy's ability to dodge, creating better conditions for the curse to be completed, but also dragged every living being within the battlefield toward destruction and void.

When that happened, the "Ageless Demoness" could resurrect, but the "Silent Disciple" likely could not.

Facing the arrival of the calamity, the "Silent Disciple" Sharon maintained an expressionless posture. She did not panic or grow nervous; all emotions were firmly controlled.

She directly pulled out the second layer of the silver-black jewelry box.

This was the second application of the "Box of the Old Days":

This layer recorded different locations, all sorts of them, allowing the holder and living beings within a certain range to be directly transferred to a designated location. However, while the designation was specific, the actual usage was often filled with randomness; the designated destination frequently changed, making the final arrival point difficult to predict, with only a small portion of the time leading to the correct place.

The "Silent Disciple" Sharon now trusted in the blessing given by the "Angel of Fate" Will Auceptin, believing that she could "get what she wished for"!

And the fact that she held the "Box of the Old Days" in this operation wasn't a passive assignment. The Tarot Club members had discussed beforehand which member should use which Grade 0 Sealed Artifact to achieve the best results and form the most effective combinations for a quick victory.

Everyone unanimously agreed that handing the "Box of the Old Days" to the "Silent Disciple" was the optimal choice.

Just now, Sharon hadn't pulled out the second layer of the "jewelry box" immediately because Roselle the Empress was still present. She was an Angel and likely had ways to interfere with or resist what was about to happen.

With the extraction of the second layer of the "Box of the Old Days," the "Silent Disciple" Sharon designated a location and released it.

The "Witch of Black" had just captured the figure of this lady and was about to complete the curse when the collapsing and destroying mirror world scene suddenly changed.

She and her mirror projections were "accompanied" by Sharon as they arrived in a wilderness.

This wilderness was covered in exposed grayish-white rocks, with piles of white, bleached bones stacked all around, dense and endless.

The Netherworld!

The location designated by the "Silent Disciple" Sharon was the Netherworld, and thanks to good fortune, the "Box of the Old Days" did not bring about any random mutations!

The "Witch of Black" Clarice and her mirror projections had just appeared in this wilderness when their bodies and expressions simultaneously froze.

The mirror projections shattered and dissipated rapidly; the "Witch of Black's" face turned deathly pale, losing all signs of life.

She and her mirror self had died in an instant.

Any living being that enters the Netherworld will die on the spot!

The "Silent Disciple" Sharon watched quietly as the "Witch of Black" died. Her figure had already turned illusory, and her face grew increasingly pale.

She had once been a "Wraith," and now she was equivalent to an evil spirit; naturally, she didn't need to worry about dying instantly in the Netherworld. As long as she didn't stay too long, it wouldn't be a problem.

This was the reason why, after discussing it, the Tarot Club members believed the "Silent Disciple" should be the priority to use the "Box of the Old Days" and the "Star Staff."

She could transfer the Demonesses and other enemies opposite her into the Netherworld!

Based on the special nature of Mr. "Star," Sharon had ultimately chosen the "Box of the Old Days."

Looking at the corpse that had become the "Witch of Black," the "Silent Disciple" Sharon collected the "Calamity of Crimson."

Although the death brought by the Netherworld couldn't affect the sleeping mirrors isolated outside, making it difficult to truly kill the "Ageless Demoness," the "Witch of Black" now needed a considerable amount of time to resurrect and could no longer participate in the current battle. Furthermore, she had lost her Grade 0 Sealed Artifact.

…………

Facing the collapse and destruction of the mirror world was not only the "Silent Disciple" Sharon, but also Mr. "Moon" Emlyn.

Wearing the "God's Blood Robe," he saw the ground collapsing and the surroundings gradually turning into a void. His malice grew increasingly uncontrollable. He flapped the bat wings covered in membranes behind his back, transformed into moonlight, and shone toward the "Witch of White" Katarina, who was also in the calamity scene, as if he wanted to drag the other party to die with him.

The "Witch of White" Katarina saw this and smiled, letting that fresh, blood-like moonlight shine upon her.

Crack!

Her body shattered due to the erosion of the blood, turning back into a mirror.

She reappeared at another location in the destroying scene, smiling as she watched the collapsing mirror world swallow the fresh, blood-like moonlight, and swallow her as well.

This battlefield quickly became a void.

A few seconds later, because the mirror world as a whole still existed, boundaries formed again in the void, and stable areas appeared.

The "Witch of White" Katarina's figure walked out of the void, completing her resurrection.

She had indeed died in the destruction just now, but she had returned through a mirror self outside the collapsing area.

This was one way to quickly resolve a target.

After scanning the surroundings and finding no trace of the enemy, the "Witch of White" Katarina's lips curled up.

This work was organized and uploaded~~

Just then, the unrestrained and arrogant voice of Mr. "Moon" Emlyn echoed in her heart:

"If I were you, I certainly wouldn't be able to laugh."

"You're not dead yet?" The "Witch of White" Katarina blurted out, and she actively used a "Mirror Substitute."

The mirror left in place shattered, and Katarina's figure was outlined at the edge of this area.

But the voice in her heart was still echoing:

"If you had died completely just now, I certainly would have died along with you, but you didn't.

"The stupidest thing you did was that after your emotions and desires were ignited for the first time, you felt that resurrection could solve everything, and you didn't think about calming your inner self.

"You and your 'mirror self' share a common mind. I could plant seeds of malice in the depths of your heart, and I could consequently erode the mind of your 'mirror self.'

"Once my main body is destroyed, I can resurrect within your heart through those seeds, burning your desires, burning your blood!

"Malice never dies, and the devil never perishes."

The "Witch of White" Katarina triggered "Mirror Substitute" multiple times in succession, but she couldn't shake off Mr. "Moon" Emlyn's voice.

Blood seeped from her pores, and the blood wrapped around her.

The mirror self had a similar encounter.

Suddenly, the entire mirror world, or rather, the entire world, experienced a violent tremor.

…………

Inside the special mirror world.

Amidst the violent tremors, the eyes of "0-17" grew increasingly dull, devoid of spirituality.

Her body was rapidly erased, just like a sketch drawing encountering an eraser.

This Sealed Artifact left the battlefield and returned to the protection zone; the "Evernight Goddess's" divine descent had ended.

The tremors caused by the attacks on the Astral Barrier subsided accordingly.

The "Primordial Demoness" Cheek cast her gaze toward Lu Mian, who was holding the "Salinger Blood Flag" with both hands, using it as a carrier for the "Sword of Destruction."

This deity first used the active shattering of a "Mirror Substitute" to dodge the strike, then appeared at another location in the high sky, smiling and saying:

"Now, only we are left."

Before Cheek could finish speaking, the figure of Amon, wearing a pointed soft hat and a monocle, suddenly arrived in this area.

He pinched his still-blazing monocle and smiled at the "Primordial Demoness" Cheek:

"Sorry, I'm a bit late, because I went to steal a wish from the Astral World first, and then ate a dessert."

Amon's voice was layered, coming from the multiple figures he flashed into existence at high frequency—he didn't stay in place to passively endure the "Primordial Demoness's" "Charm" and attacks.

Hearing Amon's words, the "Primordial Demoness" Cheek's gaze froze, and she suddenly clenched her right fist.

The vortex that made everything return to chaos protruded once more, expanding rapidly, attempting to drown the entire area.

"That wish was..." Amon's monocle grew increasingly bright, releasing the stolen wish.

Immediately after, he "flashed" to avoid the expanding chaos vortex.

A voice echoed in this area, and even the chaos containing all colors and all possibilities could only make it faint, unable to swallow it in the short term:

"My wish is:

"Within the special mirror world, all things conjured by imagination shall briefly vanish."
