Chapter 488

When those scorching white fire crows flew out from behind the black giant pillar, Lu Mi made a reaction instantly.

As a "Hunter," during the process of Forsyth confirming Anthony's "cause of illness," he seemed to be paying attention to this matter and participating in the discussion, but in fact, he had never relaxed his observation of the surroundings and had the most basic vigilance.

Being in such a dangerous and terrifying place, how could he really ignore everything else and focus on the discussion?

Facing the large number of scorching white fire crows, Lu Mi pushed his palms toward that direction directly.

Accompanied by his action, a crimson, large-scale fireball formed in haste and met them.

This fireball flew out for a few meters, and before colliding with the target, it exploded with a boom because of its own unstable structure.

Amidst the violent explosion, the shockwave, mixed with flames, swept toward the front and the front-side, covering almost all the scorching white fire crows like a flood.

The scorching white crows that encountered this wave of fire were tottering in the "storm," losing their stability, and bloomed halfway, turning into fireworks.

Following the arc, those fire crows that detoured from the side were also more or less affected by the explosion's wind, either deviating from the established trajectory or having parts "blown out."

The ones who knew best how to defend against a cluster attack of fire crows were undoubtedly "Hunters," "Pyromaniacs," and higher-sequence "Hunters" like "Conspirators"!

With such interference, whether it was Forsyth and Jianna, the two "Assassins," or Anthony Reid, the "Psychiatrist," they all avoided the scorching white fire crows that could track their figures relatively easily, watching these dangerous things fall to the ground and ignite flames.

The next second, Forsyth hid her figure, and Jianna, while running toward the nearest gray-white stone pillar, scattered fluorescent powder and chanted the "Invisibility" spell in Hermes.

Anthony returned to the battlefield, rolling and continuing to run, circling to another gray-white stone pillar that was still relatively intact, wanting to hide behind it.

Lu Mi stayed where he was, keeping his hands in a pushing-forward posture, his gold-with-black hair fluttering in the normal "wind" that scattered backward when the huge fireball exploded just now.

He looked at Gardner Martin, who was of the wrong height and had blood on his face, and words full of mockery came out of his mouth:

"Is this a greeting? Sending so many fire crows to welcome us?

"Yo, why did you change your body and lose your armor? You're the Gardner Martin in the mirror, right?"

Gardner Martin, wearing a black suit and yellow vest, didn't continue to attack, but stopped instead, laughing coldly:

"I will eventually become the real Gardner Martin."

Seeing this, Lu Mi didn't rush to "teleport" behind this Gardner Martin and laughed "Hehe":

"So, you also admit that you are a fake now?"

He tried to provoke and anger the opponent to see what these "People in the Mirror" really wanted to do.

It couldn't just be to replace the original owner and live a happy life in the real world, right?

This should be one of the purposes, but not all of them, and it might not even be the main purpose. Otherwise, the actions of the "People in the Mirror" wouldn't be so complicated.

Gardner Martin in the mirror looked at the left and right sides of Lu Mi, as if wanting to find Forsyth and Jianna who had already entered the invisible state.

Facing Lu Mi's mockery, he hummed and said:

"Fake? In the end, the ones who win and survive might only be us fakes.

"Look, the Trier of the Fourth Epoch has already been destroyed, leaving only ruins and corpses, but the Trier of the Fourth Epoch in the mirror still exists, and all the citizens are alive."

You call that alive? Lu Mi didn't interrupt the mirror Gardner's story full of resentment.

This powerful extraordinary person with an uncoordinated body let out a laugh:

"Fake? You don't know how many members of the 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' you meet on a daily basis are already our people, already clansmen who walked out of the mirror. Since the seal accident a few decades ago, when power leaked, we have been secretly doing similar things.

"Otherwise, how could Gardner Martin, Tony Dunn, and Dister know that Vormunda Soron walked underground and entered the seal? How could they know that it represented a Sequence 1 'Conqueror' extraordinary characteristic? How could they have focused on exploring the underground from then on, being influenced unconsciously more and more?"

"..." Lu Mi was stunned for a moment.

This matter also had the planning of you "People in the Mirror"?

Damn, how many forces are involved in this matter, and how many conspiracies are intertwined?

Although the content of what mirror Gardner said made the foggy matter much clearer, filling in an important puzzle piece and making many details no longer far-fetched, Lu Mi still felt it was outrageous:

There are too many forces and too many schemes! And behind the conspiracy are more conspiracies, as complex as a spider web!

Mirror Gardner's expression returned to normal, and he said with a smile:

"You think where the 'Iron and Blood Cross Order' knew about that black statue, and where they knew that they could use the special nature of the mirror world here to find a way to bypass the seal?

"Do you really dare to keep carrying that statue? It has no practical value for you either. Why not give it to me, and I'll let you leave this mirror world.

"Don't worry, you are not Gardner Martin, I can't replace you, and I don't have any unresolvable malice toward you."

So, were the fire crows just now really a greeting? Lu Mi smiled and said:

"In other words, that statue has great value to you? What do you plan to do with it?"

Lu Mi suspected that the process of the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" finding or obtaining that black "Primordial Witch" statue had the direct guidance of these "People in the Mirror," and their schemes were definitely not simple.

Mirror Gardner's mouth curled up as he replied:

"You think I'll tell you?"

"Who are you serving?" Lu Mi interrupted his words.

Mirror Gardner's mouth had just opened when his expression suddenly became gloomy, and his eyes had a few more points of resentment:

"That is all the answers!"

Seeing such a mirror Gardner, Lu Mi felt deeply that these "People in the Mirror" might be able to behave normally most of the time and perfectly replace the original owner, but as long as it involved certain problems, they would uncontrollably reveal their monster side.

Mirror Gardner had just opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to persuade Lu Mi and the others to hand over that black "Primordial Witch" statue, when a figure took shape behind him.

It was Forsyth, who hadn't prepared an assassin suit. She flicked a sleeve sword from her wrist, wreathed in black flames, and penetrated mirror Gardner's back.

This man with a blood-stained face shattered like a mirror.

He then appeared on the other side of the black giant pillar, at the edge of the collapsed area, and smiled sinisterly:

"You are dragging out time, completing preparations, and so am I!"

Just as he finished speaking, on the wreckage of a gray-white stone pillar that had completely collapsed outside the area where magma was flowing, a light flashed, and a man appeared.

That man's face also had blood stains, his short hair was flaxen, his brown eyebrows were slightly thick, his eyes were water blue, and his lips were thin. Although his appearance was ordinary, he looked quite a bit like Forsyth.

As soon as she saw this figure, a word flashed through Forsyth's mind:

"It's over..."

That was the past her, the her who used to be male!

From the moment she suspected that this was the Trier of the Fourth Epoch in the mirror, she had been worried about her past self appearing and being exposed to Jianna. Now, the thing she was worried about finally happened.

It's over, social death... As a thought flashed through Forsyth's mind, she saw a woman walk out from behind another intact gray-white stone pillar.

Her hair was pure black, draped over her shoulders, and she was wearing a white shirt, black vest, and dark trousers. Her features were deep and delicate, and her appearance was beautiful and atmospheric, but her blue eyes carried an undisguised mocking meaning.

Uh, this, this looks a lot like Charles... Is he female in the mirror? Forsyth hid her figure again while quickly scanning the surroundings.

Behind different gray-white stone pillars, two more figures turned out, respectively a male with mercenary clothes, flaxen hair styled handsomely, and a face as delicate as Jianna's, and a lady wearing military green clothes, with a slightly plump figure, a mature temperament, and a face that was still considered good, with eyes as deep as a pool in the forest.

Damn! Male version of Jianna and female version of Anthony! Anthony even improved his appearance and increased his charm! This is different from the situation in the mirror world outside! Forsyth thought while feeling suspicious and fortunate.

In this way, there was a reasonable explanation for the appearance of the "him" in the past!

Lu Mi was also puzzled that his mirror self was of another gender.

He and Jianna were not like Forsyth, who was different before and now. Even if the mirror reflected his past self, it shouldn't be like this.

If this was the feminization phenomenon caused by the mirror world of the witch and the superposition of the past state, then no matter what, Jianna should be female!

As his thoughts turned, Lu Mi thought of the "Hunter" pathway that could turn women into men, and this was adjacent to the "Witch" pathway.

Could it be that this mirror world was also affected by the corpse of the "Blood Emperor" or residual divine power? It might also be similar to Mr. "Fool" and "Fusheng Xuanhuang Tianzun," having power that ruled over these two pathways leaking out, forming such a special mirror world that would cause an overall reversal? Lu Mi didn't think much, because mirror Gardner had already launched an attack with his four helpers.

This "Person in the Mirror" wearing a black suit and yellow vest showed his resentment, excitement, and craving without any concealment.

…………

On the wilderness, the whole earth seemed to sink two or three meters.

Dister's giant tin soldiers and the giant followers with yellowish skin were all located at the edge of the tornado, and one would explode from time to time, turning into fragments.

This president of the "Iron and Blood Cross Order" and Snarna Einhorn, although guarding against each other, still focused on the out-of-control monster that seemed to have a bit of intelligence and was more difficult to deal with.

In the intense battle, they controlled or hit the out-of-control Vormunda Soron to the ground two or three times, but they were also affected themselves, in a bad state, and difficult to seize the opportunity.

Just like now, they were all briefly incapacitated.

At this time, countless knowledge surged in the form of a torrent, condensing into a beautiful woman wearing a brown captain's coat, draped in chestnut long hair, with eyes like the blue sea nearby.

Snarna and Dister and the others all felt tight in their hearts, worrying about being preempted by the newcomer and eventually having that "Conqueror" extraordinary characteristic taken away.

They all knew who this woman who appeared was:

The eldest daughter of the late Emperor Roselle, Bei Er Na Dai Gustav!

She was also an angel!

Bei Er Na Dai, holding a pale gold lamp, glanced at the battle of the angels and didn't participate, turning into a torrent of knowledge once again, surging toward the Trier of the Fourth Epoch shrouded in gray fog.

She acted as if she had just glanced at it casually while passing by.

"..." Snarna and Dister and the others were all a bit stunned by this reaction, but then regained their senses and continued their battle.
