Chapter 834: Reunion

At the fracture between the head and neck of the blue-black corpse, the rotten flesh wriggled and merged again.

This made the whole world seem to start shaking, and the void around creaked.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Outside the void, it seemed as if something was hitting violently, wanting to enter here.

Crack, a strange, illusory cracking sound came from afar and drilled into Lu Mian's ears.

"Is this the Abscessed Hand brother wanting to come in and reunite with his body?

"Is the cracking sound one of the manifestations of the seal being briefly destroyed?"

Lu Mian, who still kept his eyes tightly closed, could only make inferences from the sounds he heard and the movements he felt.

He had just flashed these thoughts when he heard the voice of the steel combat puppet with a metallic texture and friction sound ring out ten meters away:

"Next to the combined corpse, space is cracking like glass."

This was Albus telling Lu Mian the scene he saw through the steel combat puppet and the details he felt were most worthy of attention.

In a situation where he couldn't see, Lu Mian had "teleported" to his vicinity this time—having to avoid where heavy objects fell, not being able to approach Zhu Li's position, and having to stay away from the "Abscessed Hand's" corpse, the destinations Lu Mian could choose were quite limited, and "meeting" Albus was a high-probability event.

Cracking like glass... Hearing Albus's description, Lu Mian suddenly felt a move in his heart.

He had also been quite puzzled by Zhu Li's confidence and the terrifying movement she had created just now.

He felt that if he hadn't "teleported" to escape in time, he would have inevitably died under such an attack.

This exceeded his judgment of the other party's strength, making him suspect whether the other party was already in a state of descent, but it didn't look like it at all.

Now, Lu Mian vaguely had a guess.

Amidst the violent shaking of the earth, Albus didn't use the mouth of the steel combat puppet again and made a sound directly:

"Do you think that looks like a mirror breaking?"

Mirror... Yes! Lu Mian instantly understood the current situation:

This is the Mirror World!

This is the continuation or projection of that special Mirror World around "0-01"!

After Zhu Li and Céleste arrived at the destination, they set a trap, creating an entrance to the Mirror World at the entrance of the mountain of corpses. Therefore, whether it was Te Wanake or Albus and me, we hadn't discovered the traces of the two "Demonesses" when peeking inside from the corridor, but encountered an attack after entering.

And the "Black Demoness" had told Franca that the Demoness Sect had once mastered that special Mirror World, lost part of its control after the "War of the Four Emperors," and only had a small amount of influence left after the "Pale Disaster."

At this time, Zhu Li must have already put on that item for descent left behind by the "Primordial Demoness," possessing various special features. Would one of the special features be the ability to utilize the power of the special Mirror World to a limited extent?

It was precisely because of the blessing of the special Mirror World that she could launch the incomparably terrifying attack before!

"If my guess is correct, this really is inside the Mirror World..." Lu Mian felt the shaking of the world, listened to the cracking of the void and the various movements Zhu Li and Te Wanake made against the "Abscessed Hand's" corpse, and suddenly turned his head, facing the position where Albus was.

He asked in a deep voice:

"Is Zhu Li blindfolded?"

"No." Albus gave a very affirmative answer.

Sure enough! Lu Mian firmly and decisively opened his eyes.

If it really were inside the Mirror World, then there would be no need to worry about the power leaking from "0-01" utilizing the eyes, the window of the soul, and the special mirror in the mystical sense to create a corresponding "Mirror Person" and quietly replace the original body!

The next second, scene after scene was reflected in Lu Mian's eyes:

That was a large number of soldiers wearing iron-black armor falling like straw, the mountain of corpses a few hundred meters away on the side, Zhu Li standing at the top of the ice stairs, not blindfolded, with an extinguished lantern by her feet, and Te Wanake with two clusters of dark red flames burning in his eye sockets.

At this time, Zhu Li and Te Wanake both regarded the blue-black corpse of the "Abscessed Hand" as the primary target and launched rounds of attacks, as if in their view, that was more dangerous than each other, more dangerous than Lu Mian and Albus.

"Sure enough..." Albus's voice carried a bit of laughter.

He even breathed a sigh of relief undisguisedly when Lu Mian looked over.

Lu Mian's thoughts raced, and he instantly understood what Albus was "sure enough" about:

"This guy was also guessing that this was the Mirror World just now, but couldn't be sure, so he instigated and induced me to open my eyes to verify?

"Damn! That's too dirty, right?

"Fortunately, I was very certain before I opened my eyes!"

In Lu Mian's vision, Albus, wearing a black-bottomed red-patterned jacket with hair that had grown long like burning flames, took off the blindfold that had burn marks and laughed, "Tsk tsk":

"No wonder that 'Demoness' had been holding a lit lantern before. This was to mislead us, making us not think that this was the Mirror World.

"No wonder her lantern went out and nothing happened. It's really insidious."

"Can you be more insidious than you?" Lu Mian had just replied when an abnormality suddenly occurred around the corpse of the "Abscessed Hand."

The void there was like glass hit by a punch, and the point of impact was dense white cracks that were almost overlapping. These cracks extended in all directions, gradually becoming sparse and transparent.

Crack!

That dense mass of white cracks collapsed, and a blue-black, swollen hand that had rotted to the point of oozing pus flew in.

The "Abscessed Hand" finally broke through the heavy obstacles and arrived here!

As soon as it appeared, it used "Spirit World Traversal" to place itself directly on the broken wrist.

Seeing this, Zhu Li had a strong bad premonition.

She immediately let the sapphire ring on her left hand light up with a faint light.

Immediately after, she lowered both hands and raised them from bottom to top.

The earth suddenly trembled, and a small volcano quickly formed at the feet of the blue-black corpse of the "Abscessed Hand," erupting with red, near-white magma and a large amount of dust.

This instantly swallowed the blue-black, rotten corpse, dissolving its flesh and blood, wanting to solidify it in the volcanic rock.

Te Wanake, whose eye sockets were burning with two clusters of dark red flames, had a bit of blood color oozing from his brow, and they twisted, seemingly wanting to form a strange pattern.

Accompanying this change, Te Wanake raised his right hand.

Those dead soldiers lying on the ground, wearing iron-black armor, stood up again, and pale or dark red flames burned in their eye sockets again.

Te Wanake then condensed a flame spear that was almost completely cyan and carried a bit of scorching white, and threw it toward the blue-black corpse that was still wriggling and struggling in the fierce magma.

Those undead soldiers followed and produced flame spears, imitating Te Wanake's movements, and threw them toward the target.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Those flame spears almost covered half the sky.

Seeing this scene, Albus moved toward the entrance, and Lu Mian also made a similar move silently.

Soon, those flame spears covered the blue-black corpse of the "Abscessed Hand," "tearing" it into countless small clumps of rotten meat.

These rotten meats were all ignited and fell into the red, near-white magma.

Suddenly, a place in the magma collapsed without warning, and the rotten meats with flames seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and gathered toward it.

In the blink of an eye, that blue-black corpse reappeared in the magma and flames.

The rotten meat on its surface, carrying clusters of flames, peeled off piece by piece, and underneath, fresh flesh and blood full of vitality and white, delicate skin that hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time wriggled and grew.

Zhu Li and Te Wanake's attacks were still continuing, with the falling of cannonball-like hailstones, the burning of black flames, the bombardment of thunder, and the flying of terrifying fireballs arriving one after another, but the damage caused couldn't keep up with the reorganization and healing speed of the "Abscessed Hand's" complete body.

It was only a few seconds, and the charred skin and rotten flesh on the face of the "Abscessed Hand" all fell off, revealing a delicate and handsome face.

On the face, the dense, slender black eyelashes blinked, and under the white, soft eyelids, the pupils slowly rotated.

Whether it was Zhu Li, who lived in the "Demoness" circle, or Lu Mian, who often dealt with Demonesses, or Albus Medici, who had a deep background, as well as Te Wanake, who was in a special state, all held their breath at this moment, briefly immersed in that indescribable beauty.

This was like admiring a handed-down, perfect work of art.

What they didn't notice was that their hair was growing visibly, the damage they had suffered was healing rapidly, and the consumed spirituality was like a lake that had evaporated quite a bit, welcoming a rainstorm.

They saw that face without flaws but slightly feminine, under the high bridge of the nose, the lips that were neither thick nor thin and just right opened slightly, revealing white and clean teeth. The naked body was bright and white, but the muscles were distinct, and the proportions were flawless.

After seeing the things between the legs of the "Abscessed Hand's" complete body, Zhu Li subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and her right palm gripped instinctively.

That perfect body tilted backward slightly, as if enduring some kind of pain.

His chest began to bulge, the things between his crotch changed rapidly, and his body lines changed in a softer direction.

He became more and more beautiful, closer and closer to the limit of perfection.

But this transformation got stuck, as if it couldn't succeed because of the lack of some key item.

Relying on such a stuck state, Albus broke free from the shock and indulgence brought by the extreme beauty. He touched the stubble that was becoming obvious around his mouth, burned it off with flames, frowned slightly, and said to Lu Mian:

"What kind of monster is this corpse you combined?"

Lu Mian barely recovered and laughed:

"I don't know either."

"..." Albus was speechless for a moment.

Lu Mian's gaze still lingered on the complete corpse of the "Abscessed Hand."

This one was indeed a brother, but it seemed to be turning into a sister.

"But if it's a change brought about by Beyonder characteristics, similar to that 'Witch' kind, the gender should be fixed and wouldn't recover to a man's body because of death, and then turn into a woman after resurrection...

"This is more like a kind of pollution... Before that kind of pollution completely changed the Abscessed Hand brother's body, he was killed and divided into several pieces and sealed? This was to prevent him from reorganizing and reviving, causing the pollution to reappear?

"Now, what is preventing that kind of pollution from completely changing the Abscessed Hand brother? Is it that the source of the pollution has a problem, or is it the special nature of Morora?"

Lu Mian had just made some guesses based on his limited mystical knowledge when he saw the white eyelids of the "Abscessed Hand's" complete body tremble lightly and open.

That was a pair of crystal-clear, beautiful scarlet pupils.
