Chapter 979: The Best Support

Boss Huang walked out of the private room to answer the phone, while Zarathul leaned his body toward the center of the window, seemingly wanting to see the stage and the corresponding big screen more clearly.

At the same time, the Intis Group employees responsible for reception and Zarathul's entourage heard their phones vibrate.

They instinctively picked up their phones, unlocked the screens, and saw a pop-up message.

This was not a text message or WeChat, nor was it a reminder when making or receiving calls, as if it were just a simple dialog box that occupied the screen.

There was a short line of text in the dialog box:

"Please be quiet for one minute."

While the Intis Group employees and Zarathul's entourage noticed this line of text, they popped up one after another, jumping out of the phone screen, turning into information streams carrying occult power, colorless and formless, merging into the heads of the corresponding people.

Except for Boss Huang, who was on the phone outside the private room, and Zarathul, who was watching the stage below, everyone present had dull eyes, empty gazes, and their bodies froze in their previous state.

They were truly quiet.

Zarathul sensed something, withdrew his gaze, and looked at these people in the private room.

And when he withdrew his gaze, his peripheral vision caught a glimpse of his own figure vaguely reflected on the already open window.

His heart moved, and he instinctively pulled his body back, letting that window no longer reflect him.

At this very moment, behind the corresponding glass mirror, Lu Mi, in the form of a "Despair Witch," had appeared, with his black hair draped down, wearing a dark t-shirt, quietly watching Zarathul's illusory figure appear on the mirror and quickly move toward the edge.

The "Spirit Body Threads" on his body that were normally invisible did not extend outward as usual after touching the hard mirror surface, but were pulled by some kind of force, floating upward and disappearing into the deep, gloomy high sky.

This was the change in the direction of the "Spirit Body Thread" extension caused by "Distortion." In this way, Zarathul could not discover in advance whether someone was peeking from behind the mirror or whether someone was lying in ambush by observing the "Spirit Body Thread."

And the effect of "Distortion" came from the edge of the area behind the mirror, near the spiderweb-like illusory tunnel, from a crown inlaid with many gloomy gemstones.

That crown floated quietly in mid-air, and behind it stood a beautiful lady with a relatively tall figure.

This lady had her chestnut-colored wavy hair tied into a bun, her eyebrows were straight, her eyes were azure, and she was wearing a short-sleeved white t-shirt and light-colored trousers. She was none other than Huang Beibei, the eldest daughter of the Huang family.

She was holding a phone in her palm, talking to Huang Tao.

Logically speaking, there should be no signal in the mirror world, but Huang Beibei's words turned into formless information streams after passing through the phone, drilling out of this place. Huang Tao's reply was similarly affected by pure supernatural influence, entering as a pure information stream and being converted into sound by the phone.

Lu Mi glanced at the eldest daughter Huang and had those words she said before the action flash through his mind:

"I can provide you with help, but I cannot directly participate in the battle.

"I have already been kicked out of this dream twice and have been subjected to certain restrictions. If I am seen by Zarathul as his enemy, then I will very likely be kicked out of the dream for the third time, and the problem with my father has not been solved...

"I will create opportunities for you, but wanting to kill Zarathul or kick him out of the dream can only rely on yourselves...

"This item cannot be lent to you, otherwise Zarathul won't be dead yet, and you will be dead first..."

Lu Mi didn't hesitate anymore. Looking at the mirror projection of Zarathul that hadn't disappeared yet, he raised his left hand.

A silver bracelet was worn on his wrist, which lit up with a silvery-white and black luster.

"Ring-in-the-Ring"!

Lu Mi seized the opportunity and used "Ring-in-the-Ring" on Zarathul's mirror projection!

Of course, this was also suppressed to the Sequence 7 level, unable to make the corresponding fate repeat, and could trigger at most twice.

The way "Ring-in-the-Ring" is realized now is by letting similar scenes appear again in a short time through the disturbance of fate.

In the private room, Zarathul pulled back his body, letting the glass window no longer reflect his figure, but suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing, a gust of wind blowing from the entrance of the hot pot restaurant.

Before he could check the state of the people at the same table, he found the window being blown, rushing toward the direction of closing.

This also let his figure be reflected by the corresponding glass again.

In Zarathul's deep blue, almost pure black eyes, a gloomy light flashed. He had already sensed the existence of an anomaly, not just simple vigilance.

He raised his right hand and used the ability of a "Miracle Invoker" to exert influence on the future.

He reduced the probability of his mirror projection being utilized by others!

Inside the mirror world, Lu Mi held an ice crystal thin sword wrapped in terrifying black flames in one hand, and touched the river of fate of Zarathul's mirror projection with the other, trying to enlarge the branch of fate where his own attack succeeded.

Two forces collided together, and Zarathul's was superior, making that branch of fate not only not enlarge, but shrink by one-tenth.

However, for Lu Mi, this was enough.

He used the ability "Magnify Fate" not to increase the probability of the curse succeeding, but to counter the "Miracle Invoker's" interference with fate.

With him so close to Zarathul's mirror projection, as long as there was no interference from a "Miracle Invoker," or rather, as long as the "Miracle Invoker's" interference wasn't strong enough, the possibility of him achieving his goal was quite large.

Lu Mi's ice crystal thin sword thrust out with a swoosh, hitting the reappearing mirror projection of Zarathul.

The "Destruction Fire" wrapped around the surface of the ice crystal thin sword instantly poured in, igniting it from the inside out, placing it in pure, crazy destruction.

This was a curse, a curse aimed at Zarathul!

The occult principle of many "Witch" curses is to use mirror projections. This is also a kind of "Mirror Person," a temporary, short-term "Mirror Person," which has a very strong occult connection with the person himself!

When Lu Mi's "Destruction Fire" ignited Zarathul's mirror projection, violent black flames sprayed out from Zarathul's eyes, nose, ears, mouth, skin pores, and other places in the private room.

Just for an instant, this old man became a black torch, his body rapidly thinning and shrinking, being burned into ashes.

"Paper Figurine Substitute"!

For an Angel like Zarathul, "Paper Figurine Substitute" could have been used to transfer curses long ago, but to escape the curse completed by a "Witch" using a mirror projection, he still had to hide his true self in the historical fog in time.

After Zarathul used the "Miracle Invoker's" ability to interfere with the development of fate, he didn't feel that the first wave of attacks would end there. He quickly used "Paper Figurine Substitute," while he himself cautiously entered the historical fog, hiding in a certain void.

And the scene of him being burned into a paper figurine did not attract the attention of the people at the same table.

Those people were still in a quiet state.

Mirror world.

Near the illusory gloomy tunnel, Bei Er Na Dai held the phone in one hand and let many gloomy gemstones on the crown in front of her light up with strange light.

"Distortion"!

She used "Distortion" again, swapping the spatial positions of Zarathul's true self plus "Paper Figurine Substitute" and the mirror projection.

Thus, Zarathul, who was hiding in the historical fog, and the "Paper Figurine Substitute," which had been burned into ashes, arrived in the mirror world.

This place also connects to the Spirit World, and this place also has historical fog.

And Zarathul's mirror projection sat beside the hot pot table, soon disappearing into nothingness amidst the crazily growing black flames.

It and these "Flames of Destruction" were annihilated in the void together.

Bei Er Na Dai, who completed this matter, quickly put away the crown inlaid with gloomy gemstones and retreated two steps, disappearing into the illusory and complex tunnel like a spiderweb.

During this process, she maintained the call with Boss Huang.

Lu Mi had no emotional fluctuations regarding Bei Er Na Dai's departure. According to their agreement, the princess was mainly responsible for three things:

First, transfer Boss Huang, who was suspected of being influenced by the Roselle in the mirror;

Second, use the "Secret Keeper" pathway's control over the information world to "push" a piece of information to others in the private room that could make them "quiet." The subsequent cleanup and elimination of traces were handled by the "Information Shredder"—Lu Mi still remembered that when the eldest daughter Huang saw the "Information Shredder," her expression became obviously complex, as if she had seen a natural enemy created artificially;

Third, help Lu Mi and the others hide their "Spirit Body Threads" so they wouldn't be discovered by Zarathul in advance. If Lu Mi failed to assassinate him in the initial stage, then help move Zarathul to the mirror world, letting them turn from assassination to forced killing. Depending on the situation, there might be one more indirect help later.

In this way, Lu Mi and the others didn't have to worry about the battle between themselves and Zarathul attracting the official forces of the dream city and being interrupted, or even pursued.

Moreover, Zarathul would also be separated from his marionettes.

Even if Zarathul could control the "Spirit Body Thread" across the mirror, those marionettes, if they didn't possess the power to come to the mirror world, couldn't participate in this battle.

Eliminating marionettes is the first step to dealing with a high-level "Seer" pathway Beyonder.

At the same time the "Paper Figurine Substitute" was completely burned, Zarathul, who was at the Sequence 7 level and couldn't stay in the historical fog for too long, returned to reality.

He saw that he was in the void, deep, and dark area behind the mirror, and saw a figure standing near the mirror surface whose charm could not be covered even by the darkness.

Lu Mi smiled, making this area look as if it were illuminated by bright moonlight.

"Charm"!

Zarathul's consciousness was stunned for a moment, and all the "Worms of Spirit" seemed to be sighing at that beauty that pierced the soul.

Almost simultaneously, the invisible spiderwebs that had already filled this place wrapped around him.

Lu Mi then drew the "Sword of Courage" and, from a distance of more than ten meters, slashed toward Zarathul.

This iron-black straight sword created a highly compressed giant flame snake, falling toward the old man in the black suit from the air.

At the edge of the area behind the mirror, Jenna broke free from the "Invisibility" state, used the mirror in her hand to reflect Zarathul's figure, and wiped her other hand, which was covered in "Witch" black flames, onto it.
