Chapter 822: Walking into a Trap

As Jenna used the "Abyssal Shackles" spell attached to the "Bloodthirsty Arrow," Nikila, who coughed again, had the shadows and darkness around him come alive. Under the yellowish light of the gas wall lamp, they condensed into black chains, winding around this member of the "Moses Ascetic Order" circle by circle, binding him firmly in place, even locking his mouth.

Nikila had quite rich combat experience. The first time, he let a group of star gravel slowly rotating form in the palm of his right hand.

The light of the wall lamp in the room became dim, like the night outside.

In such dimness, stars appeared, not dense, but quite many.

They sprinkled one ray of light after another, intersecting into a thick beam of light, illuminating the entire room and shrouding Nikila himself.

The black chains formed by the "Abyssal Shackles" were like shadows meeting sunlight, receding and collapsing rapidly, while Nikila also dissolved rapidly in such a beam of light, splitting into countless glass fragments.

"Mirror Substitute"!

Nikila relied on his own specialty, using the method of attacking himself, to get rid of the shackles of "Abyssal Shackles" in the shortest time—as a Beyonder of the "Secrets Supplicant" pathway, many of his spells needed incantations to cooperate. Once the mouth was sealed by chains, the abilities he could use were quite limited.

Jenna confirmed that Nikila was a "Mirror Person" through this.

Thick black fog permeated behind her, and a pair of illusory and huge bat wings grew out.

Immediately after, these "Wings of Darkness" transformed into a group of unreal, palm-sized vampire bats, passing through the door and wall, flying toward Nikila who had just gotten rid of the "Abyssal Shackles."

At the same time, Anthony interrupted "Psychological Invisibility," came to the door, and kicked open the wooden door.

He held a black revolver with complex parts and mechanical beauty in both hands, aiming at Nikila.

"Winter is Coming"!

Anthony was now preparing to use the "Inevitable Death" effect of this Beyonder weapon!

Of course, he didn't really want to use it, because the opposite side had a "Mirror Substitute" and belonged to the relatively fragile body type, encountering any attack that could hit him might trigger the substitute ability in advance, which would cause the bullet that inevitably brought death to hit the substitute mirror, unable to produce the expected effect.

Anthony's purpose in doing this now was to use the outstanding spiritual warning of the "Wizards" and the eyes that could peek into secrets to make Nikila feel that his life was threatened, forcing him to use the mirror world to escape.

According to Franca, Nikila, who was likely a Sequence 5 "Stargazer" of the "Secrets Supplicant" pathway and suspected to be a "Mirror Person," would definitely be able to detect the danger of the "Winter is Coming" revolver at the first time, and then see that it was brewing an attack with divinity.

And in order to touch the target's spiritual warning more truly, Anthony needed to complete the psychological suggestion to himself in advance, which was a very simple thing for a "Hypnotist."

Therefore, Anthony really intended to fire and really prepared to use the "Inevitable Death" effect, but when his finger began to pull the trigger, he would touch the pre-set "psychological warning line," and the corresponding suggestion would naturally be lifted, and he would fire a normal bullet.

Just as Franca expected, the moment he saw the "Winter is Coming" revolver, Nikila's pure black pupils couldn't help but reveal a little deep purple, reflecting the decaying and rotten aura winding around that Beyonder weapon.

He instantly had a feeling that he was gradually walking toward death, his throat's itching became increasingly intense, and his body appeared a certain weakness.

This was not the effect of "Winter is Coming" itself, but the change produced by some kind of power backlash after the "Secrets Supplicant" saw the "secret" of this Beyonder weapon, and this formed a perfect cooperation with the pathogen Franca had spread by reaching her hand out of the mirror before, making Nikila's condition worsen.

Unable to care about considering other things, Nikila immediately let a mirror replace himself and stay in place.

Bang!

Anthony pulled the trigger, firing a light yellow bullet with only disease effects. It and the group of vampire bats crashed into Nikila, crashing out a cracking sound of "crack."

Nikila, who appeared in another corner of the room, had no idea of counterattacking the enemy. Only the thought of escaping here existed in his brain.

This was because he didn't know if there were only these two attackers, and the danger level of that gun made his spirit highly tense.

Since he couldn't judge the situation clearly and clearly knew that the enemy had a demigod-level weapon, only the choice of running away remained!

Nikila immediately wanted to pounce on the nearest mirror and use the mirror world to get rid of this battle.

Noticing his movement, Jenna slowed down the speed of the attack, and Anthony let his eyes dye gold, appearing one whirlpool after another reaching the soul.

"Combat Hypnosis"!

This could forcibly hypnotize the enemy in battle, making him make all kinds of abnormal actions, but such actions could not directly harm the hypnotized person, and could not be maintained for too long, and would lose effect soon.

And Anthony just wanted to let Nikila change to another mirror to escape. Such behavior would at most delay the time for the other party to escape, and would not directly harm him!

Nikila was stunned for a moment, suddenly feeling that the mirror in front of him might hide a dangerous trap.

He immediately pulled out a scroll inlaid with gold foil from the row of hidden pockets inside his black woolen coat and whispered a Hermes word:

"Sun!"

The scroll was instantly swallowed by golden flames, erupting with bright and dazzling sunlight, illuminating the vampire bats dancing in the room into blue smoke.

This seriously affected the vision of Jenna and Anthony, and their eyes were filled with brilliant sunlight.

Nikila seized this opportunity, did a roll, came to the full-length mirror in the living room, and pounced in.

From the time he was "Combat Hypnotized" to completing the escape, it only took two or three seconds.

The sunlight subsided rapidly, and Anthony nodded at Jenna.

Jenna immediately grabbed the shoulder of this companion and activated the "Seven Stone Bracelet" worn on her left wrist.

One of the two diamonds erupted with clear and bright brilliance, wrapping the two people inside.

The next second, Jenna and Anthony "teleported" to the quarry hollow with the fixed mirror world entrance and pressed their hands toward the protruding rock.

…………

Nikila had just arrived in the void and pitch-black area behind the mirror when he couldn't help but cough.

The disease already contracted could not be eliminated by "Mirror Substitute."

"Cough, cough, cough!" While Nikila coughed violently, he felt his body being bound layer by layer by invisible threads.

"Witch's" spider silk? Nikila was horrified.

Just now, Jenna had been deliberately using the ability of the "Bloodthirsty Arrow" to attack this "Mirror Person," just to hide her "Witch" identity, so that Nikila wouldn't think about being attacked by "Witches."

In that way, he would highly suspect that there was a trap behind the mirror and give up the option of using the mirror world to escape, causing Anthony's "Combat Hypnosis" to be ineffective!

While Nikila's pupils dilated, he reflexively let the star sand rotating slowly condense in his right palm.

Before he could use the "Stargazer's" ability to destroy himself and destroy the "Witch's" spider silk in this area, he felt some invisible threads gently teasing him, from ears, face, chest, all the way to the inside of his thighs, all had charming caresses and hooks appearing.

This made Nikila's blood surge instantly, and his thoughts sank to the bottom.

He was about to forcibly hold his mind and use the ability, when he saw a figure emerge from the edge of the spider-web-like tunnel.

That figure was wearing a black robe with leather armor, the hood on his head was crooked, revealing heroic and beautiful eyebrows, clear and bright eyes like lake water, and red lips moistened with water.

This unspeakable beauty and the charm that hooked the soul made Nikila subconsciously hold his breath, forgetting to resist, forgetting to break free from the shackles.

"Pain Witch's" "Charm"!

The intense danger warning made Nikila barely get rid of this beauty that made people indulge. He gritted his teeth, endured the desire produced by being teased and charmed, and was about to trigger the whirlpool star sand in his palm.

Franca continued to use "Charm," the corners of her mouth slightly hooked, while showing a smile that amazed Nikila, she let some spider silk no longer tease the other party and changed the action.

Changed to tickling!

"Hahaha, hahaha." Nikila's neck, armpits, waist, and other sensitive parts were attacked at the same time, and he couldn't control himself and laughed out loud, laughing until tears flowed out.

If his body wasn't bound layer by layer by invisible spider silk, he would have flinched, twisted, and rolled on the ground.

In such a state, it was very difficult for Nikila to use any ability.

Of course, his desire also subsided because of this.

"I really look like a black widow spider now, handling the prey stuck in the spider web in an orderly manner... After reaching the 'Pain Witch' stage, if the prey is really bound by the spider web and has no companions to help, it will be frequently affected by various influences, making it difficult to break free by its own strength... Pity, this is ineffective against 'Hunters,' they can surge flames in their bodies and burn the spider web... Don't know when I will be able to pass true joy directly through spider silk..." Franca maintained a sufficiently vigilant state, looking at Nikila who was laughing wildly, and muttered in her heart.

Her train of thought was very clear now, which was to restrict the enemy, constantly interfere with his various efforts, and drag it out until his serious illness broke out or he was completely charmed.

During this process, even if Nikila actively used "Mirror Substitute," he would be limited by distance, and his body would still appear in the "Witch's" spider web covering the entire area, repeating the previous experience.

—In the time before, Franca had already turned this place into a "Witch's" nest.

On one side was being constantly tickled, on the other side was being teased and aroused, Nikila wandered back and forth between hell and heaven, extremely painful.

And that beautiful figure that seemed to be forever untouchable was like a dream that entrusted all hope and beauty.

Nikila knew he couldn't go on like this, and he bit his tongue hard with the determination to forcibly endure the laughter.

The pain pricked into his brain, letting him briefly get rid of the influence of all aspects.

He gripped that cluster of vortex stardust tightly.

Within the void-dark area behind the mirror, one brilliant star after another lit up.
