Chapter 1506: [Brave's Mirror] and Mountain Copper

~12 min read 2,271 words

The two people who appeared on the terrace both had the appearance of Southerners and were completely identical. Brown hair, wearing black formal suits, only one person wore a monocle on the right side, and one person wore a monocle on the left side.

The man with the monocle on the right looked at the small compass in his hand, and then happily saw the thing in the center of the roof: "Sure enough, it's correct, here is the 'spine bone of the twin crack monster' we need for promotion!"

"Wait, why would this appear here? This kind of monster, shouldn't it only appear around islands with unstable space after storms at sea and being struck by lightning?"

The man with the monocle on the left was obviously calmer, but soon he found a reason for himself:

"Before coming to Tobesk, I heard that it is not generally dangerous here. I didn't expect to encounter this kind of rare monster even when coming to listen to the opera."

Saying this, the two held hands again, and two life rings belonging to five-ring Ring Mages appeared behind them at the same time. The core spirit runes of the two life rings were all Enlightenment—【Space】, Enlightenment—【Immortality】, Enlightenment—【Twin】. And at this time, the ones flashing with spiritual light were the 【Space】 spirit rune and Whisper—【Assassin】.

Under the night sky, the bodies of the two men with identical appearances on the terrace became transparent little by little as if melting. This was not simple invisibility, but directly fused with space.

It was just that, before their miracles could fully exert their effects, the keen Ring Mages saw the figure of a strange young man also appear on the roof.

Xia De, who used illusions to blur his face, said nothing. Since he had just boasted to Miss Galina that he would solve this monster, he naturally couldn't let others do it.

And the double-bodied monster that was healing also discovered the three humans on the terrace for the first time. It didn't care about the two identical-looking people at all, but looked directly at the man who had just fought with it. It seemed to have no structure for making sound, just opened two mouths on the upper body towards Xia De, revealing the dense small flesh buds inside, and then two legs and four arms pressed on the ground at the same time, arching its back and making a predatory action.

Xia De lifted his right hand, as if the night directly gathered in his hand, and the light-absorbing black sphere quickly took shape, even making the light around him almost completely disappear. Xia De in the darkness watched the monster, which was about the height of a child, pounce on him, and then he also threw the "Shadow Ball" in his hand.

But as if the continuous picture was cut off for a second, the monster's figure abruptly disappeared and then abruptly appeared further ahead, completely dodging the attack of the Shadow Ball, and then pounced directly in front of Xia De.

During the period when its body jumped into the air, the small body grew rapidly, as if the original body was a product after spatial compression. In less than half a second, the monster's body had become taller than Xia De. Its speed was extremely fast, and at the same time as it acted, the space around its body produced abnormal distortion, representing that the body's becoming larger was indeed some kind of spatial power effect.

The mouth with dense flesh buds inside bit towards Xia De's position, but Xia De also disappeared in front of it and then appeared behind it. But in the next second, the monster disappeared in front of Xia De like a maggot attached to the bone and appeared behind Xia De. And obviously, because 【Lagley's Jump】 must be separated by ten seconds and could not act again, Xia De could not move spatially again.

Two mouths bit towards the human in front of them alternately, but what drifted out from the mouths was a large piece of bright butterflies. The butterfly group soared into the sky, and the monster that landed also rushed towards the sky after accumulating power like a toad.

But this time, what it saw was dozens of silver moonlight rings flying out from the hands of the human under the starry sky:

"Light of Imprisonment!"

Even if it could rely on spatial power to virtualize its body, those strange light rings seemed to have a tracking effect, tracking it in the air and drawing bright light traces. Xia De, who fell from the sky, landed lightly and stepped on the ground again:

"Space Stabilization Halo!"

The monster was forced to reveal its figure in the air under the moonlit night, and in the next second, it was imprisoned by those dozens of moonlight rings on its feet, four arms, two heads, and body. At that moment, it seemed to be stagnant in the air, while Xia De on the ground raised his arms high:

"Moonlight Slash!"

He turned into a silver arc of light and rushed into the sky. The silver arc light crossed the night sky, passed through the monster's body, and rushed towards the starry sea covered by thin fog. Xia De's body appeared in the air, then turned into a butterfly group and flew towards the terrace. And the monster that was passed through by the moonlight in the sky only fell down after splitting into two halves left and right.

His entire body transformed into a silver arc of light and shot into the sky. The silver arc streaked across the night sky, passed through the monster's body, and rushed toward the sea of stars shrouded in thin mist. Xia De's body manifested in the air, then turned into a swarm of butterflies and flew back toward the terrace. And the monster, which had been pierced by moonlight above the terrace, only fell after it had split into two halves.

"Southerners?"

Xia De asked. The man with the monocle on his left eye nodded lightly. They were both frightened by Xia De's clean attack just now. Xia De himself was already one ring higher than them, and he was originally much stronger than the same ring, so the men who looked exactly the same even thought he was a local high-ring mage:

"Sorry, we didn't intend to snatch your prey; we didn't know it was chased here by you just now."

The man holding the compass bowed and said softly. Seeing that Xia De had no intention of fighting them, he asked: "May I ask, do you still need the spine bone of the twin crack monster?"

Xia De was unwilling to talk to them more. He didn't know if the illusion resistance of the two people opposite was very strong, and if they could see his face. So, he twisted his fingers; this is a universal gesture, people of any country can understand it.

Sure enough, the two people opposite showed a sudden realization expression. The Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi who didn't hold the compass took out a checkbook from his wallet, but then put it away, and took out two emeralds the size of the first thumb joint from the wallet interlayer. The style of the gems was very ordinary, and it was impossible to track Xia De through the falling of the gems.

Xia De didn't know how much the remains of this monster's body were worth, but he didn't care either. Showing Galina that he was really powerful was the most important thing. So he didn't think about bargaining, waved his hand, and under the traction of the spell, the emeralds fell into his hands. Still without speaking, he turned and walked to the edge of the terrace, then jumped down lightly.

The two identical-looking people cautiously waited for a while, and then approached the corpse that was only the size of a baby left in the ash. One bent down to process the materials to ensure they could be used for rituals, while the other looked around to be on guard.

"Tobesk City is really dangerous. We have been here for less than three days and encountered such a strong Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi." The person holding the compass said, and the other nodded deeply:

"The person just now, I'm afraid it's more than nine rings. It seems we can't stay here for too long. After the Count finishes the matter, we will leave immediately. The first appearance of the legendary God-Caller was here, and this city experienced a God-Descent of an Evil God, yet it can still maintain such prosperity... It is worthy of being the Pearl of the North."

They probably misunderstood something.

"Solved!"

Below the roof, the red butterfly group fluttered and flew from the window back into the makeup room. Xia De, who appeared from the butterfly group, smiled and took out a translucent book from the bookshelf with starry sky colors beside him, opened one of the pages, and showed the scene of him killing the enemy with one blow just now:

"Galina, look." "Very good."

The witch smiled and praised, then took the gold necklace from Xia De's hand. As for the mirror, Tifa used a rabbit hair brush and the lipstick in her makeup box to draw some runes on the mirror frame to prevent monsters from appearing again.

"I just encountered strange Ring Mages."

Xia De didn't forget to talk about the two people he met on the terrace, but Miss Galina didn't care either. After all, in a big city like Tobesk, the probability of Ring Mages appearing is originally higher than in the countryside.

And now that there was time, she finally told Xia De what kind of relic this mirror was:

"Document-level relic 【Brave's Mirror】. The main body of the mirror was manufactured in the Fourth Era and was originally an ordinary alchemical item. It could allow the person holding the mirror to see some hidden seal traces, and observe the inside of the seal without affecting the seal effect. The original manufacturer

seemed to want to rely on this mirror to exercise his courage and enhance his mental resistance. But after the mirror turned into a relic, besides enhancing the original effect of seeing through the seal, a negative characteristic appeared: while seeing through the seal, there is a probability of directly breaking the seal, releasing the sealed monster or even a subspace evil object."

"Please wait a moment, is the mirror in front of us the main body of the relic you mentioned? Could it be that this dressing table is a product of the Fourth Era? It looks like a product from four months ago."

Xia De asked his doubts, and the witch said with a smile: "Don't worry, listen to me continue.

The relic originally did have a physical main body, but in the early Fifth Era, the mirror was shattered due to an unrecorded accident. But the relic 【Brave's Mirror】 did not disappear. After losing its physical entity, because of its own long-circulated legend, it transformed into an event-type relic. That is, a random mirror becomes the carrier of 【Brave's Mirror】. While inheriting most of the characteristics of the 【Brave's Mirror】 in its original physical state, it can randomly release subspace sealed objects after the Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi frequently and continuously reflects himself for a long time or recites the incantation I taught you. As the number of uses increases, the power of the monster will be stronger. And if it is not used by a Ring Ringed Ringed Shushi for more than 1 year, the strength of the released subspace sealed object will be recalculated."

This was also the reason why the witch clearly saw what this was, but still let Xia De activate the mirror.

"Of course, because it is only 【Document-level】, like the seal that originally sealed the Pantanal evil object, it can only reflect it, but cannot break the seal. The monster released by the mirror cannot leave a certain distance from the mirror main body within three hours, but if it cannot be resealed or killed during this period, the monster will gain freedom. And after defeating the released monster, the mirror will take the initiative to give you some 'treasures' that have been reflected in its mirror surface. Xia De, look at the mirror surface."

Xia De turned to look at the mirror whose characteristics were temporarily suppressed by Tifa. He himself clearly didn't move, but the him in the mirror put his hand into his pocket. Subsequently, Xia De actually really felt his right pocket sink. When he went to touch his pocket again, he actually found a piece of red copper the size of half a palm.

"Mountain copper, also called 'Orichalcum,' is a strange spiritual metal. Some people think it is 'the hardest metal bestowed by God,' commonly used to forge armor or weapons. Although the rarity cannot compare with mithril, it is also a tight commodity in the eyes of alchemists."

The witch said, seeing Xia De looking at the mirror thoughtfully, and asked with a smile again:

"Why, because of the reward, you want to challenge the mirror again? This also counts as its negative characteristic; you must not be

"What, do you want to challenge the mirror again because of the reward? That is also one of its negative traits; you must never be greedy, because no one knows what will be released next. A brave person must also control their own greed."
