Chapter 897: Short battle

The "Black Witch" raised her chin slightly and let out a shrill scream.

The invisible sound wave instantly caused the mirror to be dyed a gray-white, dull color, and even Clarice's hair broke free from the restraints, knocking off her hat and floating up. Every single strand became thick, as if carved from stone.

This kind of gray-white spread out of the full-length mirror, like a surging tide, quickly submerging the nearby armchair, sofa combination, and cupboard, causing them to lose their luster one after another and be dyed gray-white, looking much harder.

This gray-white "tide" quickly covered the entire room, covering both Lu Mian and Franca.

Under the restriction of the "Bottle of Fiction," facing similar area-of-effect attacks, "Mirror Substitute" seemed to lose its effect, because the place where one appeared after using the substitute was still within the area that could petrify people.

The next second, Lu Mian and Franca, covered in thick dust-like powder, regressed into gray-white stone mirrors, but their figures did not appear anywhere in the "Bottle of Fiction."

Seeing this scene, the "Black Witch" in the full-length mirror whispered to herself:

"Escaped?"

Various current situations showed that Lu Mian relied on the abilities of the "Despair Witch" herself, and Franca relied on the power of the "Ice Amulet," grabbing the chance before petrification to hide in the mirror, and then smoothly traveled and escaped.

The current problem was that with the "Black Witch's" control over the Mirror World, she could completely intercept the two in any illusory and gloomy tunnel, but she didn't sense any movement.

Just then, the "Black Witch" Clarice received a warning from her spirituality and turned around abruptly, casting her gaze toward the dense illusory spider web behind her.

Inside one of the gloomy and unreal tunnels, Lu Mian, wearing a black cloak and quite tall, held a giant iron-black straight sword diagonally with one hand, jumping and slashing at the "Black Witch" in a posture of descending from the sky.

*Escape? *

*The person holding the "Sword of Courage" wouldn't consider this option! *

*Even if I were to escape, it would be to retreat to advance, setting a trap! *

The scorching white and cyan flames on the "Sword of Courage" instantly surged into a fierce black, which was like boiling asphalt, carrying the violent and mad nature of destroying all things, destroying spirit and flesh.

At the same time, Lu Mian's left palm, which was hanging down naturally, pressed toward the "Black Witch" through the air without a trace.

His wrist, as exquisite as a work of art, wore a silver-and-black bracelet that looked cheap, and his crystalline, light blue eyes presented a silver-black color.

*Boom! *

The black flames suppressing fierceness and madness exploded in mid-air, and the fierce shockwave surged with countless black flames toward the "Black Witch" Clarice.

This unaging "Witch" didn't use "Petrification" to deal with it, her body quickly becoming thin and small, flashing with a faint light.

She became a mirror.

*Crack*, the mirror shattered in the explosion, and her spirituality withered completely in the black flames.

The "Destruction Fire" mixed in the terrifying explosion further swept through the entire area behind the mirror, extinguishing all vitality.

But until the "Destruction Fire" went out and the aftermath of the explosion ended, the figure of the "Black Witch" was outlined in one corner of the illusory and gloomy area behind the mirror.

She seemed to be able to control the time of returning to reality after using "Mirror Substitute," not appearing in the fire field while the "Destruction Fire" was still burning.

Suddenly, behind the "Black Witch," a mirror hidden in the darkness appeared. It directly reflected Clarice's figure, and inside the mirror was Lu Mian, whose clean face was illuminated by the residual firelight with a gloomy color.

"Mirror Projection"!

This Lu Mian appeared, and immediately turned into quiet and evil black flames, wrapping Clarice's figure in the mirror.

Until this moment, the "Black Witch" seemed to detect danger and actively used "Mirror Substitute."

But she was still a beat slow. She appeared in this corner, appeared in front of this mirror with Lu Mian's "Mirror Projection," not by accident, but an outcome designed with precision!

Lu Mian had seemingly been attacking head-on with the "Sword of Courage" just now, but the focus was actually on his left palm, which wasn't holding the sword.

He put on the "Ring of Binding" in order to make his ability to "Propel Fate" reach the Sequence 4 level!

And he had just consumed nearly one-third of his spirituality to make the fate of where the "Black Witch" would appear after using "Mirror Substitute" become destined, letting the corresponding tributary become part of the main trunk.

Thus, the "Black Witch" "actively" walked into the trap, standing in front of the mirror with Lu Mian's "Mirror Projection."

At the same time, in order not to let the "Black Witch" detect the danger in time, Lu Mian, on one hand, performed anti-divination processing on that mirror before launching the attack, and on the other hand, deliberately let the "Destruction Fire" cover the entire area behind the mirror, making every corner here look like there was no ambush—even if there were, it would obviously be destroyed by the "Destruction Fire," but in reality, relying on the "Precision" ability, he had hiddenly bypassed the pre-placed mirror with part of the "Destruction Fire."

Under various conspiracies, the "Black Witch" failed to use "Mirror Substitute" before Lu Mian's "Mirror Projection" launched the curse.

The deep gray eyes of the "Black Witch," which seemed to hide rain and fog, suddenly widened, and streams of quiet and evil black flames erupted from inside her body.

These black flames burned rapidly, quickly igniting the "Black Witch" Clarice's soul, accompanied by a silent explosion.

Curse plus "Harvest"!

*Crack, crack*, the "Black Witch's" figure flashed constantly, turning into mirrors one after another.

Those mirrors lost their light one after another, becoming dull, but they couldn't extinguish the black flames that were burning the "Black Witch" from inside out.

After a few seconds, the "Black Witch" Clarice, who was so weak that she no longer had the strength to use "Mirror Substitute," saw Lu Mian's figure walk in front of her.

This beautiful girl wearing a black cloak, making her face look even whiter, raised the giant straight sword burning with scorching white and cyan flames.

That iron-black giant sword slashed down with a *boom*, hitting the "Black Witch's" neck.

*Boom! *

This pitiful lady was torn apart, scattering toward the surroundings in the form of corpse pieces with black flames.

Franca's figure returned from another illusory and gloomy tunnel, looking at the large number of corpse pieces on the ground, and said in astonishment:

"This is solved?"

This was the "Black Witch," the "Witch" known by a color!

Franca had only hoped that Lu Mian would briefly suppress the "Black Witch" so she wouldn't have the opportunity to interfere with her action of escaping through the Mirror World. If she succeeded in escaping, it would be much easier for Lu Mian, a Sequence 4 demigod, to disengage from the battle afterward.

Of course, Franca would also inevitably look forward to finding an opportunity to use the "Inevitable Death" effect of the "Inevitable Gun" to complete the great feat of killing a demigod. If that didn't work, she could also use "Inevitable Hit" plus the Pregnancy Bullet to fight for an opportunity for Lu Mian to destroy the enemy.

Lu Mian didn't put away the "Sword of Courage," staring at the corpse pieces that were still burning, and deliberated:

"She showed Sequence 3 level in some abilities, but overall she seemed dull and raw. Not only does she not look like a veteran 'Unaging Witch,' but she also seems even weaker than a normal 'Despair Witch.' When I was hiding and placing the mirrors, she didn't detect it..."

Before Lu Mian finished speaking, as the burning of the "Witch's" black flames ended, those corpse pieces began to fade, gradually dissolving, seemingly returning to nothingness.

"Not a normal state 'Black Witch'," Franca quickly made a judgment.

"This also means we have no spoils of war," Lu Mian smiled and said to Franca, who had used up the last "Mirror Travel" ability of the "Ice Amulet." "Let's return to the real world first, and I'll come back to check what's left later."

Franca understood that Lu Mian was worried that the abnormal state "Black Witch" might turn into a corpse or bring other accidents. If only he came to check, it would be much safer.

Not forcing it, Franca pressed her hand on the mirror and left this area, returning to the living room of 702 Apartment with Lu Mian.

Everything here had turned into stone, and as the "Bottle of Fiction" was lifted, gray-white powder fell like rain.

Franca covered her mouth and nose, muttering:

"This is simply heavy contamination."

She reached into her "Traveler's Bag," intending to take out the remaining Fels, placing them here as compensation for the damaged furniture.

Just then, Lu Mian suddenly had a premonition, his figure disappeared, melting into the shadows, and hiding in the bedroom where Jenna had originally lived.

The next second, Franca also had a spiritual induction and cast her gaze toward the glass window that had been protected by the "Bottle of Fiction" and had not yet been petrified.

The left part of the pair of glass windows suddenly became gloomy, and like a water surface reflecting an image, a figure was outlined rapidly.

That figure wore a black, elegant court dress, had coiled dark hair, and was lightly covered by a hat with a deep veil hanging down. That face was beautiful to the point of being hard to describe, her deep gray eyes were bright and carried an undeniable sadness, and her red lips were slightly curled. Not only men, but women would also feel pity from the bottom of their hearts when seeing her.

"Black Witch"!

"Black Witch" Clarice!

At this moment, Franca was a bit stunned:

*"Black Witch" turned into a corpse? *

*No, if she turned into a corpse, she should have appeared on the full-length mirror in the living room! *

*If it's not turning into a corpse, who is this now, and who was that just now? *

While Franca's spirit tensed up instantly, the "Black Witch" on the glass window nodded lightly and asked in a soft voice:

"What exactly happened a few days ago that made you only return until now?"

*This attitude... is quite kind... * Franca, who had wanted to draw her gun and explode, was suddenly a bit dazed.
