Chapter 481

Bang!

The iron-black bullet carrying scorching flames hit Gardner Martin, who was controlled by lust, once again, hitting the chest of that silver-white full-body armor.

This time, it was as if a giant hammer had been swung and struck heavily there.

Spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly from the point of impact toward the surroundings, Gardner Martin's lunging movement stalled, and his whole body leaned backward.

This made him slightly sober, seeing General Philippe ignited by black flames and covered in frost, while Lu Mi appeared behind this "Sleeper," using his right hand as a revolver to fire a crimson-near-white fireball at the back of the opponent's head.

Gardner Martin's pupils under the mask dilated suddenly, as if someone had poured a bucket of ice water over his head, and his whole body felt cold.

This effectively suppressed his lust, and he knelt on one knee without hesitation, stabbing the heavy giant sword in his hand into the wilderness.

That giant sword then disintegrated, turning into countless fragments of light, violently sweeping toward Forsyth, Lu Mi, and the others, and sweeping toward the corpse of General Philippe, who had fallen to the ground dejectedly.

Amidst the cracking sounds, Forsyth, who was constantly changing positions, was still enveloped by the "Storm of Light," and her body shattered like a mirror.

Lu Mi and Jianna were the same; only Anthony Reid, who didn't have "Mirror Substitute," instinctively threw himself to the ground, curled up his body, and protected his vital parts.

This storm composed of light soon subsided, and the figures of Lu Mi and the others quickly took shape at the edge of the wilderness, in front of the light-black stone bricks.

They saw a scorching white flame spear being thrown toward the magnificent city in the distance, covering a distance of over a hundred meters in an instant.

That spear condensed from flames had just landed on the ground, only vaguely revealing the figure of Gardner Martin wearing silver-white full-body armor, when it rose again and was thrown once more toward the city filled with faint mist.

After several consecutive times, Gardner Martin had already put a considerable distance between himself and Forsyth and the others, continuing to rush toward the ruined buildings at the edge of the city.

Lu Mi did not pursue, running to the edge of the morning light from before to check on Anthony Reid's situation.

This "Psychiatrist" was covered in bloody wounds, the most serious one being on the left side of his back, where his beating heart was vaguely visible.

Lying on his side on the ground, curled up, with his face covered in blood, Anthony Reid managed to reveal a smile after seeing Lu Mi.

There was no fear of death in that smile, only relief, ease, and satisfaction.

The fruit of revenge was so delicious.

Seeing Anthony Reid's lips moving, as if he wanted to entrust something, Lu Mi sneered:

"Are you trying to give your last words? Do you want us to send your belongings to your hometown on the west coast of the Sonia Sea?"

While speaking, he took out the silver ear clip and put it on his left earlobe.

Then, Lu Mi squatted down, reached out his left hand, and pressed it against the huge wound on Anthony's back.

His palm suddenly slid upward, and that hideous wound actually moved as well, turning to the shoulder position.

In the blink of an eye, the most fatal wound on Anthony's body disappeared, and it was as good as new. However, his shoulder, which originally only had many small scars, had a very deep tear, with white bone exposed and blood flowing.

This was the ability of "Lie" to transfer damage, only one wound at a time.

Anthony was stunned for a moment, feeling as if life had returned to his body.

Although the pain still existed and his body was still weakening, at least he no longer had the dying feeling he had just now.

Immediately afterward, he saw Jianna walk up to him and push him from lying on his side to lying on his back.

With a puff, Jianna inserted the obsidian broken arrow in her hand into Anthony's chest.

This "Arrow of the Bloodthirsty" immediately began to draw the blood there, and Anthony's pupils were stained with a bit of red, feeling that the invisible flames burning quietly in the high sky were a bit dazzling, and the smell of blood filling the surroundings was very tempting.

And at the same time, the smaller wounds on his body healed quickly, and the more serious ones also showed obvious improvement. In a few more minutes, they should be able to initially close up and no longer affect his movements.

Anthony Reid, who had been dying just a moment ago, stood up, checking his physical condition in a daze and with disbelief.

It's almost healed? It's fine now? As a "Spectator," he had obvious emotional fluctuations.

"This combo is not bad." Seeing this, Forsyth praised, "As long as you don't die on the spot and don't lose control and become a monster, there is still a chance for rescue, at most becoming weak."

The "Damage Transfer" of "Lie" combined with the powerful self-healing ability provided by the "Arrow of the Bloodthirsty" actually had such an effect.

Forsyth then looked at Lu Mi:

"I thought you would intercept Gardner Martin."

In that situation at the time, others couldn't keep up with Gardner Martin's escape speed at all. Only Lu Mi, who could use "Spirit World Shuttle," could catch up and make an effective interception.

"Do you think I didn't want to?" Lu Mi mocked.

It was because he didn't have the ability!

If it weren't for the fact that his first "teleportation" today was affected by Vazan Sanson's "Person in the Ring," returning to the starting point, which meant no consumption of spirituality, he wouldn't even be able to maintain a stable state, and wouldn't even be able to perform "Damage Transfer" with the help of "Lie," having to leave it to Forsyth or Jianna to do. How would he have the ability to chase Gardner Martin?

Forsyth instantly understood what Lu Mi meant—before and after entering here, he had fought with others, and his spirituality was nearly exhausted.

"Alright." Forsyth turned her gaze to the two "Primordial Witch" statues, one black and one white, lying quietly on the ground and not destroyed by the "Storm of Light," and frowned, saying, "Where should we throw these two things?"

Bringing mutations again and again, it's simply pitting its father!

"Bring them." Lu Mi thought for a while and said with a smile, "If it weren't for them this time, how could it be so easy to take down General Philippe? Later, we might still have to rely on them to leave. Hmm, they can't be kept on one person. You take one, and Jianna takes one."

Forsyth weighed it for a few seconds and said:

"I'll take the white one."

I am, after all, a member of the Witch Sect, so of course I have to take the orthodox "Primordial Witch" statue.

Seeing Jianna pick up the pitch-black "Primordial Witch" statue, Forsyth asked herself suspiciously:

"How can there be such a statue?

"According to the files of the 'Purifiers' and information from other secret organizations, the members of the Witch Sect all carry white bone statues; there is no such pitch-black one."

While speaking, Forsyth had been observing the "Primordial Witch" statue that looked like it was carved from charred bone, and comparing it with the one in her hand.

Soon, she discovered some differences in details:

Besides the colors being one pure white and one pitch black, the orientation of the eyes on the top of the "Primordial Witch's" snake-like long hair was also different: if one looked to the left, the other must look to the right.

"Mirror image, mirror... is this the 'Primordial Witch' in the mirror?" Forsyth combined the abilities and characteristics of the "Witch" pathway, as well as her own encounter in that special mirror world, and made some guesses, "This normally shouldn't be possible to appear. It's not simple for the 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' to find such a statue..."

She now understood why she and the others had run into Gardner Martin and General Philippe.

This could be considered a manifestation of the "Law of Convergence of Extraordinary Characteristics." Except for Anthony, the innocent "Psychiatrist" brought in by his companions, everyone else present was either a "Hunter" or a "Witch."

Moreover, Forsyth and the others entered here in the same way as General Philippe, so they would inevitably appear at the edge of this wilderness scattered with mirror fragments.

The "Primordial Witch" in the mirror... Lu Mi felt that this description sounded very evil.

He didn't waste time and said to Forsyth and the others:

"You search General Philippe's corpse and keep watch for me. I'll set up a ritual to recover my spirituality."

"There's a ritual that can recover spirituality?" Jianna was very surprised.

Her gaze naturally swept over General Philippe's corpse, finding that it had been divided into five or six pieces, each of which was bloody and mangled.

At this time, the extraordinary characteristics had not yet precipitated, and the gift from the evil god was slowly sinking back into the corpse because it could not return to the mother body.

Lu Mi then walked into the light-black area with gray-white stone pillars, found cover, and quickly set up an altar. Forsyth guessed who he was going to pray to and also came over to guard against accidents.

Jianna thought for a few seconds, came to the side of the altar, took out the lucky gold coin, and said to Lu Mi:

"This is the lucky gold coin that little boy gave me. I don't know if it will work if I give it to someone else, but it won't hurt to try."

She left the task of searching the corpse to Anthony Reid, who was recovering quickly.

Forsyth watched silently for a second and said:

"Yeah."

Lu Mi didn't stand on ceremony. After all, the little boy Will had a close relationship with the "Tarot Club," and even if the lucky gold coin he gave couldn't be borrowed, it wouldn't bring any negative effects.

After placing that Rune gold pound on the altar, Lu Mi created a "Wall of Spirituality," lit all the candles, and took two steps back.

He didn't directly hold the ritual to pray for a gift, but tried to chant the honorific name of Mr. "Fool":

"The Fool that doesn't belong to this era, the mysterious ruler above the gray fog, the King of Yellow and Black who holds good luck..."

Accompanied by the reverberation of Hermes, the lucky gold coin on the altar lit up with a bit of light, and within the "Wall of Spirituality," faint gray fog permeated and seeped out, also enveloping the edge of the wilderness.

The mist in the magnificent city in the distance also seemed to have become thicker and denser.

Not long after, just as Lu Mi began to pray for a gift, a crazy and terrifying roar came from the place where the weather was chaotic and the figure of a giant was vaguely wandering.

Even separated by the faint gray fog, the heads of the four of them felt dizzy, the speed of blood flow in their bodies increased significantly, and their hearts kept beating thud-thud.

"It's actually useful, and it's really lucky..." Lu Mi looked at the golden coin on the altar and sighed sincerely.

If it weren't for the fact that he was holding a ritual and under the protection of Mr. "Fool's" gray fog, that roar just now would have been enough to cause serious injury to him, whose spirituality was nearly exhausted, and might even have led to him losing control directly. Anthony Reid, whose serious injuries hadn't fully healed, would also have been in corresponding danger.

Hu... Lu Mi exhaled, and under the gaze of Forsyth and Jianna, he chanted in a deep voice:

"The power of destiny!

"You are the past, the present, and the future;

"You are the cause, the result, and the process..."
