Chapter 1505: Mirror and Monster
The maids following Miss Galina did not follow into the room at the door. Only Tifa and Xia De followed the witch to the very inside of the room. When walking into the room, there was no feeling, but when approaching that damaged makeup table, Xia De noticed the whisper element: "The relic is that mirror, the table is just an ordinary item... The relic itself is not strong."
Xia De said softly, and the witch nodded:
"Very keen. Just stand here, don't get close, it's currently impossible to determine what this is. The clue I have is that people who look in the mirror have a very low probability of seeing some blurred figures appearing beside themselves in the mirror. Of course, that is what ordinary people encounter. The situation of Ring Mages facing relics will probably be a bit different."
"Although the whisper element is obvious, the element almost has no fluctuation, which represents that the state of the relic is quite good. I will go and try it."
Xia De said, and Miss Galina and Tifa did not object. Xia De's level was the lowest here; even if something happened, they could help him. "Take this."
The witch took off the gold necklace representing her identity and handed it to Xia De. Xia De nodded, clutched the necklace, and continued to walk forward until he arrived at the shattered mirror and sat down.
The degree of damage to this mirror was quite serious. From the traces, it looked like someone had hit the center of the mirror head-on with something like an iron ball. Although all areas of the mirror surface still existed now, the center of the mirror was concave inward, and then dense cracks radiated from the circular concave towards the surroundings.
This divided the mirror into many areas, and Xia De's figure could be reflected on every piece of the mirror. He observed carefully, waiting for things to happen, but after five minutes passed, no abnormality appeared.
"I wasn't controlled by the mirror; I'll try another method."
He said to the two ladies behind him, and after getting a reply, he reached out and touched the mirror. 【You touched "Whisper."】
"She" whispered softly, then paused: 【This mirror possesses some kind of power connecting space.】
Xia De's perception would become stronger and stronger as the contact distance approached, and under direct contact, he really discovered unexpected information. This mirror was exactly the same style as other mirrors in the makeup room, so the relic itself did not have a physical entity; it was highly likely to be some kind of "event" type relic, or a relic that could be integrated into the mirror itself.
He told his discovery to the two ladies behind him. Although the clues were very few, the knowledgeable witch still thought of something:
"Xia De, face the mirror and say 'Courage accompanies me' in Efra language."
Although the request was very strange, Xia De still did as he was told. He didn't understand the language the witch mentioned, and hadn't even heard the name of this language, but this didn't prevent him from repeating that sentence, which was not very long, completely.
Sure enough, as Xia De's voice fell, the originally shattered mirror actually became flat again as if time had flowed backward, and the cracks also fit together perfectly. At the same time, in the upper center of the mirror surface, a golden stick figure ribbon appeared there, and then it was as if an invisible hand wrote under the ribbon:
【The brave have no fear.】
Xia De's image that originally existed on the mirror surface completely disappeared. After white mist covered the mirror surface, as the mist dissipated, what was displayed in the mirror was actually the scene of a strange room with the lights off.
There was no light source in the room, but strangely, all the items could be seen.
On the wall facing the mirror hung a lake landscape oil painting with a brass-colored metal frame, and on the cabinet below with three layers of drawers and golden drawer handles were placed famous jewelry boxes, music boxes, and tobacco boxes.
This looked like a noble's collection room, but Xia De frowned, because in the landscape oil painting above the center of the mirror surface, a black trace became clearer and larger. That black trace soon broke away from the oil painting in the mirror, entered the room in the mirror, and then broke away from the room in the mirror, actually as if it was about to enter the world outside the mirror.
【Blasphemy element, whisper element, some kind of evil object contaminated with relic power.】
While listening to the reminder in his ear, he stepped back while looking at the mirror surface. Miss Galina also brought Tifa over. The witch knew what this relic was, and she said very quickly:
"Sure enough, it is this relic. It seems the luck is not bad. Xia De, that thing is coming out. Solve that thing first, and then I will tell you the information about the relic. This battle is left to you; I want to see the power of you at the sixth ring in a normal battle state."
"No problem."
Xia De knew that Miss Galina thought that no matter what happened next, she could control the situation, so he felt relieved and started casting spells while holding the witch's gold necklace:
"Chain of Sin!"
The black chain in his sleeve shot forward, almost piercing the black thing in the mirror in the next second. But in the wriggling black, a large hand with six withered, gray-green fingers stretched out and actually grabbed the end of the Chain of Sin.
Xia De originally thought that the sealing effect of 【Chain of Sin】 on supernatural power would take effect, but the black thing actually disappeared in the mirror, and the chain fell onto the dressing table under the mirror with a clatter.
【You hit its mirror image, not the main body.】
It didn't need "She" to remind him; Xia De could also notice the abnormality in the surrounding space. The thing that ran out of the mirror did not disappear, but used its own spatial ability to hide in the cracks between normal spaces.
The danger suddenly prompted by his inspiration made Xia De dodge to the right, and then the slender yellow moonlight greatsword that suddenly appeared in his hand stabbed behind him.
Although there was nothing in the air, the slender yellow moonlight greatsword did hit the target: "Space Stabilization Halo!"
The effect of the miracle forced the enemy hiding in the space crack to be pushed out, and Xia De's weapon hit its abdomen. Unfortunately, for this kind of monster that couldn't even be counted as a creature, this was not a fatal wound.
Until this moment, Xia De saw the true appearance of the enemy behind him from the mirror surface he was facing. Its height was similar to that of a five or six-year-old child, its body was gray, and its hunched back grew another half of the upper body almost identical to the body, making it look like the product of two completely identical monsters fused with the lower body.
The two upper bodies had a total of four gray-green arms, and three of the four arms had already grabbed the blade of the 【Moonlight Greatsword】.
Although Xia De did not cancel the spellcasting of 【Space Stabilization Halo】, the front half of the 【Moonlight Greatsword】 still appeared in an area three meters away in the next second. Because the spiritual weapon broke, Xia De frowned slightly and turned to slash with moonlight with his left hand, but the monster disappeared again.
He stood in place and waited for two seconds: "Ran away."
The witch, who had been standing on the side without much movement, asked with a smile:
"I know you are good at spatial power, and there is also a miracle specifically for prohibiting abnormal spatial states. But compared to those monsters that are truly 'spatial' in talent, you at the sixth ring are not much. Fortunately, according to the relic characteristics, it cannot stay away from this mirror for a short time. With your personality, you definitely won't let it leave. So Xia De, do you need my help?"
Those golden eyes looked at Xia De with a smile.
"No need. If I can't even do this kind of thing well, I shouldn't think about skipping grades to the sixth grade in the summer." Xia De said, hanging the necklace in his hand around his neck, and then closed his eyes to sense the abnormal traces in the space.
Letting that thing run away just now was partly because the other party's spatial ability was indeed strange, and partly because he didn't want to make too much noise in the opera house. But now that the other party wanted to run, he didn't have to worry about this anymore.
"You wait for me here; I will be back in five minutes at most."
Xia De opened his eyes and said. Tifa stood beside the Duchess without any expression; the loyal maid would not have any communication with her lover at such a time. The witch nodded:
"That's good, you go and deal with that monster, I will deal with this mirror. Remember not to make too much noise, I will give you ten minutes. If you can't even solve this kind of trouble, then every Sunday morning in the future, go to my place with Iruna for class. Xia De, show me your power."
She showed full trust in Xia De, which made Xia De feel even more that he absolutely could not fail.
One by one, red butterflies flew out from his body until he turned into a group of red butterflies and flew out from the window.
Abnormal spatial traces were quite obvious to Xia De, who understood spatial power. But if he didn't catch up in time, the stable time and space of the material world would soon stabilize this fluctuation.
The butterfly group used illusions to cover themselves under the moonlit night, and the moonlight shone on the butterflies emitting light. They flew towards the high sky in groups until they arrived at the roof of the opera house.
It is worth mentioning that although the roof of the Maria Opera House has a vast area, it is not open to the public, so under normal circumstances, there is no one on the roof.
The monster that escaped was on the roof at this moment. After revealing its figure, the body located below lay on the ground, while the half of the upper body located above looked up at the starry sky above its head. Although there was still fog in the city, the starlight shone on it like a spotlight on the stage, making the sword wounds on the body lying on the ground heal quickly.
The illusion of the red butterflies and the illusion of the moon shadow were added to Xia De at the same time, so that the monster that escaped from the space crack did not find him for the first time. And when Xia De aggregated his body at the edge of the roof terrace, preparing to launch a fatal blow, he frowned again and looked at the other side of the roof. The scenery of the opera house terrace in the thin fog was unobstructed, and the air that was originally empty twisted in the next moment. Then, with a slight crackling sound, two twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old men holding hands actually appeared here out of thin air. ===== CHAPTER 1506 =====
The Red Butterfly's illusion and the Moon Shadow's illusion were simultaneously cast upon Xia De, preventing the monster that had escaped from the spatial rift from discovering him immediately. And just as Xia De gathered his body at the edge of the rooftop terrace, preparing to launch a fatal blow, he frowned and looked toward the other side of the roof. The view of the opera house terrace in the thin mist was unobstructed, and the air, which had been empty a moment before, twisted. Then, with a slight crackling sound, two men in their late twenties, holding hands, actually appeared out of thin air.
