Chapter 839

Lu Mian did not "teleport" directly behind Albus Medici, nor did he approach the dismembered corpse of the monster Gei; his figure was quickly outlined at the edge of the area at the summit of the mountain of corpses.

Before this, while watching the battle at the top from the foot of the mountain, he had already made the brass charm made by Archbishop Madame Hela Berg stop reading knowledge, took off the corresponding earplugs, and put them into the "Traveler's Bag"; this was because he was worried that the subsequent fierce battle might cause devastating damage to them.

Similarly, he wore the "Mirror Buckle" on his cuff, preparing to use it.

As soon as Lu Mian appeared at the summit of the mountain, he saw the pus flowing from the corpse pieces of the monster Gei seep into the corpses and skeletons that made up the ground, triggering clusters of near-invisible and colorless flames.

Those flames instantly swallowed Gei's corpse, which was divided into multiple pieces, and burned it to ashes, giving them no chance to squirm and grow.

At the same time, Lu Mian noticed that most of the near-invisible embers that originally existed at the summit of the mountain had been extinguished, and the rest were about to burn out.

And he had discovered at the foot of the mountain before that the embers scattered on the wilderness were being extinguished one after another.

Of course, this did not affect the mountain of corpses and its surrounding area being illuminated by light; the light came from the purple firelight emanating from the huge vortex high above, from the corpses and skeletons ignited during the battle between Albus Medici, Celeste, and the monster Gei, and from different parts of the wilderness, and from the scorched flag that was shaking and vibrating at an increasingly fast frequency.

"The original embers will be extinguished? They haven't always existed; were they created by '0—01' in response to the appearance of the severed-hand brother, this divine being?" While Lu Mian's heart stirred, he held the ordinary straight sword that looked like the "Sword of Courage" in both hands and ran toward Albus Medici, who was more than ten meters away.

With a thud, the straight sword burned with searing white flames.

Albus, whose brow mark was bright and dripping, bent his waist and back, letting his hands touch the corpses and skeletons that made up the mountain.

The flesh and blood of some corpses suddenly melted, becoming viscous, and skeletons gathered together instantly.

Albus then straightened his waist and back, and forcibly pulled out a white, bone-chilling giant sword temporarily composed of countless spines and cervical vertebrae from the corpse ground; the melted viscous flesh and blood wrapped around it, bringing bloodiness and strangeness.

Albus dragged this strangely shaped giant sword, which was full of horror, toward Lu Mian.

Crack, the giant sword, where white bones pierced through flesh like wax, split Lu Mian's straight sword, which was burning with searing white flames, into two pieces with one blow.

Lu Mian's figure disappeared and appeared rapidly behind Albus.

He backhanded and drew another iron-black straight sword that looked like the "Sword of Courage" from the "Traveler's Bag" and slashed heavily toward the neck of this member of the Medici family in front of him.

Albus turned around at high speed, swung the alien giant sword horizontally, and smashed Lu Mian's weapon into pieces again.

Lu Mian used "teleport" again and flashed behind the enemy again.

But as soon as his figure was outlined, sharp ice crystal spears condensed in mid-air and fell like a rainstorm.

Celeste, who had hidden her figure and didn't know where she had circled to, launched a range-type attack against Albus and Lu Mian.

Lu Mian immediately saw thick fog.

It surged from around Albus, instantly covering this area, reducing visibility to ten meters, making Lu Mian unable to sense the Spirit World coordinates outside the fog, and making it difficult to "teleport" out directly.

"Fog of War"!

Immediately after, Albus, who had left the sight of Lu Mian and Celeste, pressed a still-huge cyan fireball, compressed layer by layer, toward the ground of the mountain of corpses.

Boom!

A terrifying explosion that made people briefly deaf swept through this area, blowing away the thick "Fog of War," vaporizing the ice crystal spears that fell from mid-air, and destroying and igniting some of the corpses and skeletons.

Almost at the same time, Lu Mian's figure was reflected on the pitch-black breastplate of a dead body on the wilderness.

Just now, restricted in "teleporting," he took out a mirror from the "Traveler's Bag" at the first opportunity and then triggered the "Mirror Buckle" on his left cuff.

Relying on this extraordinary item, Lu Mian drilled into the Mirror World and left the summit of the mountain of corpses before Albus created the indiscriminate explosion and the dense ice crystal spears fell.

This was the same choice he made when he escaped the siege of Albus and Gussin in the underground cavern filled with the Fog of War.

Lu Mian jumped out of the smooth, pitch-black metal breastplate, and the glass-like ornament on his cuff instantly turned gray-white, turned into dust, and fell to the ground.

The "Mirror Buckle" had used up its last time.

At the summit of the mountain of corpses, Albus had turned his body and ran toward "0—01," which was shaking and swaying more and more violently.

At this time, Julie's puddle of filthy blood was only one meter away from the surface of the scorched flag.

—Since the battle between Albus and the monster Gei began, the filthy blood no longer felt like it was being held up by invisible hands and continued to fall, but its speed was getting slower and slower.

Seeing that "0—01" was close at hand, a mirror made of ice and snow, two or three meters tall, suddenly sprang up in front of Albus.

The mirror instantly reflected Albus's figure.

On both sides of Albus and behind Albus, similar ice mirrors appeared abruptly, reflecting different sides of this descendant of the "Red Angel."

Accompanied by the condensation of the huge ice mirror, strands of hair that were black in color and as thick as small snakes drilled out from the edge of the mountain, carrying the quiet and evil "Witch" black flames, and extended rapidly toward those mirrors.

Celeste wanted to use this to curse Albus!

Albus turned his body with a swish, turned toward the source of those snake-like black hairs, and saw Celeste, who was wearing a black robe and had a strangely flushed face.

Boom!

Multiple searing white-and-cyan fireballs condensed rapidly and blew the four huge ice mirrors into fragments, but those fragments melted slowly and continued to reflect Albus's figure from different angles, waiting densely for the snake hairs carrying the "Witch" black flames to arrive.

Albus, carrying the alien giant sword, suddenly turned into a searing white-and-cyan fire man and expanded to three or four meters tall.

This brought continuous high temperatures, causing those ice mirror fragments to melt completely.

Silently, Celeste withdrew those long hairs covered with black flames, hid her figure again, and didn't know where she had transferred to.

Lu Mian "teleported" over.

This time, he drew the iron-black "Sword of Courage" from the "Traveler's Bag."

The real "Sword of Courage"!

Lu Mian, enduring the persistent burning pain of the sulfur flames, was instantly filled with courage:

"What's there to be afraid of in a Sequence 5 who can only borrow a bit of 'Red Angel' power?

"What's the need to hide?"

Lu Mian slashed the "Sword of Courage" toward Albus Medici, and it wasn't until the "Sword of Courage" was about to collide with Albus's strangely shaped white bone and flesh sword that he let this straight sword, which possessed divinity, burn with searing white-and-cyan flames.

Having courage doesn't mean you won't use conspiracies and tricks!

There was no surprise in those eyes of Albus that had turned iron-black, and the corners of his mouth instead outlined a smile.

His strangely shaped white bone and flesh sword burst into near-cyan flames.

You have been showing your weakness just now and only using ordinary straight swords; how could I not guard against you suddenly using an attack with divinity?

Albus's body suddenly turned into steel, allowing his strength to climb to its peak instantly.

Boom!

The two long swords collided, making the sound of a cannon explosion.

The wind and waves raised could not shake Albus, whose skin was iron-black, pushing Lu Mian and his "Sword of Courage" back.

Suddenly, Lu Mian melted into a puddle of viscous black liquid that seemed to be condensed from the most sinister desires in the depths of the human heart.

He disintegrated on the ground, quickly wandered to the soles of Albus's feet, and covered him like a shadow.

Crack, the illusory, viscous, and chilling black liquid suddenly dispersed, and a mirror dyed with silver-white and black colors fell onto the corpses and skeletons and shattered into pieces.

"Mirror Substitute"? Lu Mian was startled in his heart.

Albus also had a "Mirror Substitute"?

No, he hadn't used it the several times he encountered danger before!

Albus's figure drilled out from a mirror near the summit of the mountain of corpses, smiled, transformed into a searing white-and-cyan flame spear, and flew back to the battlefield—that mirror was a remnant of Celeste's "Mirror Maze."

He didn't have a "Mirror Substitute," but he could also rely on the crystal necklace wrapped around his wrist to shuttle through the "Mirror World," and he had prepared a mirror in advance during Lu Mian's first attack, hiding it at his waist covered by his tattered jacket.

The indescribable monster appeared so abruptly and strangely before, chasing after you; how could I not guard against you in this regard?

And how to quickly leave the battle without a "Mirror Substitute" and avoid being affected, you have already demonstrated twice!

As soon as he saw the flame spear flying over, Lu Mian, who was still in the state of viscous black liquid, immediately seeped into the gaps between the corpses and skeletons, thereby leaving the summit of the mountain.

Full of courage, he didn't want to escape; to avoid being trapped by the "Fog of War" again in the absence of the "Mirror Buckle," he planned to detour to the other side and seek new opportunities to contaminate Albus Medici.

Escape, he definitely wouldn't escape!

Just at this time, Lu Mian suddenly felt a relatively strong weakness.

My spirituality dried up in advance? No, it's not just a problem of spirituality... Lu Mian returned to human form while releasing his accumulated spirituality.

Clang!

His right hand was inexplicably weak, making it difficult to hold the "Sword of Courage" anymore; he could only watch helplessly as this iron-black straight sword fell to the ground and hit a white skeleton.

"Why didn't I 'teleport' to open the distance first?

"I, I seem to be sick..."

Lu Mian was startled, immediately triggered the black mark on his right shoulder, and disappeared from the place near the summit of the mountain of corpses.

He left the "Sword of Courage" there and did not pick it up for the time being.

He was expecting the other party to exert one of its negative effects—in another ten minutes or so, if the "Sword of Courage" had not been sealed, it would attack everyone around it indiscriminately.

And now, the people around the "Sword of Courage" were Albus Medici and Celeste.

As soon as Lu Mian's figure was outlined on the wilderness, Albus at the summit of the mountain of corpses frowned slightly.

This descendant of the "Red Angel" swayed slightly, much weaker than before.

He seemed to be sick too.
