Chapter 489

Inside the Trier of the Fourth Epoch filled with thick gray fog.

Vazan Sanson, with thick blond hair, neat beard, and deep features, was following the guidance of fate, passing through the chaotic streets and approaching the vaguely visible magnificent palace.

Suddenly, the stone slab under his feet cracked, and a white bone palm stretched out, grabbing his ankle accurately and quickly.

At the same time, a knight wearing pitch-black full-body armor rode over on a horse, raising a heavy giant sword wreathed in pale flames, and slashed obliquely at Vazan Sanson.

Vazan Sanson's figure suddenly became illusory, not shattering due to the attack of the pitch-black knight, just fading rapidly with the passage of time, until it disappeared.

His real body appeared nearly twenty meters away, casting his gaze at the attacker just now:

Under the black faceplate of that knight, two points of dark red light flickered like candle flames, and there was an exaggerated wound on his chest and abdomen, dragging out pale intestines, sitting on a white horse that looked like a dry corpse with only bones and outer skin left.

Behind him was a wilderness the size of a square, wandering with countless figures. Those figures had some wearing white hemp clothes, with pale blue faces and empty eyes, and some only had skeleton frames left, and some wore masks made of white paper.

At the edge of the wilderness, a dark red cradle-style carriage drove slowly, pulled by two creatures that had goat horns, were pitch-black, and shaped like devils.

Sitting on the carriage was a lady with a majestic temperament, wearing a flower crown and a green dress. Her brown long hair was pinned high, her brown eyes were bright, one hand holding a small bowl made of green jade, and one hand holding an oak branch wreathed with mistletoe at the top. She was none other than Madame Pualis.

"What do you want to do?" Vazan Sanson asked in a deep voice, unhurriedly.

Madame Pualis replied with a smile:

"Of course, it's revenge."

While speaking, her eyes gradually became cold, but the smile on her face didn't diminish at all.

"Revenge..." Vazan Sanson repeated this word in a daze, and it took two seconds before he frowned and asked back, "For that Aurora?"

At this time, the undead filling the wilderness and several death knights didn't attack Vazan Sanson, as if waiting for the lady they followed to finish venting her emotions.

Madame Pualis, sitting on the carriage, curled her mouth and laughed self-deprecatingly:

"For a 'Scoundrel,' one-sided love is destined to be short-lived. It won't take long for the enthusiasm to fade, but in that short period of time, she died, so it became a thorn buried deep in the heart that couldn't be pulled out. Once thought of, it would hurt, would be angry, would be resentful.

"And all of this was caused by you!

"I wanted to make a move when I met you just now, but the environment wasn't very suitable, and 'Lady Moon' hadn't come in yet, so I couldn't delay the 'Great Mother's' affairs because of this. Now, well, it's very quiet here."

Vazan Sanson narrowed his eyes slightly:

"After accepting the 'Great Mother's' gift, shouldn't you have lost these fragile and easily destroyed emotions?

"Aren't you worried about affecting the affairs of the great existences now?"

Madame Pualis said with a light smile:

"There are people more suitable and more powerful to do that, for example, 'Lady Moon.'

"And me, well..."

Her expression revealed a bit of trance and softness:

"Initially believing in the 'Great Mother' was to gain strength, not to be restricted by the stale and rigid church, not to worry about moral pressure and social public opinion, and not to worry about when I would be attacked by some creditor, doing whatever I wanted.

"Now, what I want to do is revenge!"

Madame Pualis had just finished speaking when a pair of illusory giant wings vaguely spread out behind her, with pieces of brownish feathers the size of a human on them.

"Ah!"

This lady then let out a shrill scream full of pain.

The glass remaining in various buildings around the wilderness shattered with a click, and Vazan Sanson's brain buzzed, as if he had heard the wailing of his own spirit body.

…………

On the damaged square where the suspected "Clysmanna Night Pillar" was located.

Lu Mi locked onto the feminized "mirror self."

Only he knew how much trouble he was!

Maybe not the strongest one among everyone present, but possessing special things, diverse abilities, and many items, he could change the battle situation with a slight opportunity, so he must be cleared in advance!

As for Gardner Martin in the mirror, who was suspected of having "Mirror Substitute," he couldn't be solved in a short time, so he could only eradicate his helpers first, and then gather fire on him.

By then, the "Psychiatrist's" "Frantic," the bombardment of the "Torture" gloves, and the lust arousal of the "Beatrice Necklace" could all effectively target the mirror self's unstable psychological state, many negative emotions, and strong desire for achievement and replacement.

Lu Mi's black mark on his shoulder lit up, and his figure suddenly disappeared, appearing behind the female Lu Mi, who was dressed and styled similarly to himself but draped in black hair and looked heroic.

Almost at the same time, the blue eyes of female Lu Mi revealed a mocking meaning.

She then disappeared.

Her figure took shape behind Anthony Reid, who was mostly blocked by a gray-white stone pillar.

"Spirit World Shuttle"!

She could do it too!

Damn! Lu Mi couldn't help but curse, and let the black mark on his right shoulder emit a dim light again.

He had to rush to save someone.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought about the possibility that the "mirror self" also had "teleportation" ability. He just thought that the opponent would also aim at him, prioritizing solving him, the biggest problem. Both sides would at most appear in swapped positions, but he didn't expect female Lu Mi to target Anthony Reid.

At this moment, Lu Mi roughly understood why:

First, the "Person in the Mirror" must be resentful and hateful toward the original owner, wanting to replace them, and having serious psychological problems, naturally being restrained by the "Psychiatrist's" "Frantic" and other abilities. Second, Anthony Reid was neither good at running away nor had various substitutes, and his defense was not much stronger than an ordinary person's, so he could be solved quickly, causing a reduction in personnel.

When Lu Mi was talking to Gardner Martin in the mirror, Anthony Reid had been hiding behind a gray-white stone pillar nearby, observing the situation in the surroundings and analyzing the enemy's psychology to determine what he could do and what he should do when fighting later.

Seeing the feminized "mirror self" appear, and seeing Gardner in the mirror, male Jianna, male Forsyth, or hiding in the shadows, or going invisible, he felt that the problem became very tricky, intuitively thinking that such monsters would be very troublesome to solve.

Seeing female Lu Mi's figure disappear from where she was, Anthony Reid, who had seen Lu Mi use "Spirit World Shuttle" many times, instantly grasped the monster's mentality and thoughts:

She was "teleporting," her target was himself, and she was prioritizing solving the "Psychiatrist"!

As his thoughts flashed, Anthony didn't pounce out to the sides.

At this distance, with his physical fitness that hadn't improved much, it was impossible to escape the danger zone and enter the safe range before female Lu Mi used other abilities.

Since that was the case, the only choice was to replace defense and dodging with attack, using attack to interrupt the storm-like attacks that might appear later!

Anthony forcibly twisted his body, his eyes quietly standing up, stained with pale gold.

He then saw the beautiful and atmospheric female Lu Mi.

The opponent had already "hummed" out a sound.

"Hum-Ha Technique"!

Two white lights sprayed from female Lu Mi's nostrils and landed on Anthony's body.

While Anthony's eyes reflected those two white rays of light, he didn't dodge or evade, and directly used "Frantic."

Thump, he fell into a coma.

Female Lu Mi's facial muscles were distorted, and dark red blood vessels stood out under her skin, like small fire snakes that had come alive.

Her blue eyes were full of violent and crazy emotions, and waves of crimson-near-white flames dissipated from her body.

Lu Mi's figure took shape on the side of her and the unconscious Anthony. He didn't use the "Hum-Ha Technique," but clenched his right hand, wreathed in near-scorching white flames, and blasted a punch at the head of the "mirror self."

Amidst the cracking sound, female Lu Mi's body shattered like a mirror.

She also had "Mirror Substitute"!

Seeing this scene, Lu Mi cursed again in his heart:

"Dog shit!"

Although he had also expected that these "People in the Mirror" were closely related to mirrors and might have two or three "Mirror Substitutes," he didn't waste spirituality using the "Hum-Ha Technique" and chose the fire fist that consumed the least and had additional effects. But truly confirming this matter, he was still frustrated and full of anger.

Only when truly facing it did he know how disgusting abilities like "Mirror Substitute" and "Paper Substitute" were!

Now, there were a total of five enemies with "Mirror Substitute," four of whom also replicated the abilities of his team. How could this be fought?

At this time, the flame flow scattered from the fire fist he swung, falling on Anthony Reid as he expected.

The scorching pain soon awakened this "Psychiatrist" from his coma, and he instinctively rolled to extinguish the flames.

Suddenly, the cold and laughing voice of Gardner Martin in the mirror came from somewhere:

"How is it? Are my helpers stronger than you yourselves?

"Unfortunately, they come from deep mirror images, and their gender has been reversed, so they can't replace you and return to real life.

"How is it? Hand over that statue in exchange for my friendship, in exchange for a chance to leave here? It's of no use to you anyway."

You are so strong, why don't you kill us directly and take the statue? Are you worried about something, for example, Termiboros's escape? Or, are you deliberately using such rhetoric to dissolve our resistance and ensure your own integrity to the greatest extent? Or, are you actually not strong, dragging out time, waiting for some change? A series of guesses flashed through Lu Mi's mind.

Just at this time, Anthony Reid, who had just extinguished the flames and climbed up, began to cough.

Lu Mi heard his own throat feel a bit itchy.

Soon, Forsyth and Jianna left the invisible state amidst uncontrollable coughing. They were almost circling to the side of female Anthony.

Mirror Gardner's voice sounded again, and the smile became more obvious:

"Forgot to tell you, the fire crows I used at the beginning were fused with the 'Pain' disease. You igniting and detonating them will only help the disease spread better.

"Those two statues can only suppress unconscious disease infection, and this is under my control!"
