Chapter 1555

The enemy on the left was the first to call out his own life ring. The spirit runes hidden by the fog flickered with light, and a mirror appeared in that person's hand, which swallowed the 【Light of Imprisonment】. The enemy on the right was only a Five-Ring, and he had just been promoted to Five-Ring; he tried to use some kind of relic in his hand to shatter the silver light ring, but it only briefly repelled the ring.

The five light rings were knocked away like the boomerang just now, but the miracle, which had automatic tracking capabilities, locked onto him again. When they flew over again, the relic could not be used temporarily, so the five light rings successively slipped onto his neck and limbs, causing him to fall to the ground unable to move.

The brief exchange in the fog was silent. The companion of the man who fell to the ground, the man on Xia De's left, cursed in a low voice that Xia De didn't hear clearly, seemingly complaining about his companion's incompetence. He threw away the illusory water mirror in his hand and waved his left hand with an exaggerated amplitude, and a group of buzzing black mosquitoes flew out from the circle drawn by his palm.

"Miracle—Plague Insects; absolutely do not let the swarm get close."

The pharmacist lady behind Xia De reminded him, but when she tried to rummage through her bag to get a potion, she found that Xia De's figure had already disappeared from where he was.

The knowledgeable female sorceress raised an eyebrow, and her evaluation of Xia De in her heart became even higher. The Seven-Ring man stood alertly in place, holding his breath. The perception confused by the white fog failed to let him discover Xia De appearing behind him at the first moment. But when the scarlet dagger in Xia De's hand pierced his body, his body shattered into mirror fragments.

Behind those mirror fragments, a huge floor mirror that appeared out of nowhere reflected Xia De's current appearance. The man's voice appeared from behind the mirror surface, and the voice cooperated with the mirror to cast a miracle that directly affected the soul:

"Show me your true..."

Bang!

The waving staff shattered the mirror, and the silver arc drawn by the staff neatly slashed the man's body diagonally into two halves. Although both the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 and 【Night Watcher】 could amplify miracles, the staff's amplification didn't require learning or experimentation; one just had to hold it and cast the spell.

As for the miracle the man just used, it seemed somewhat similar to the power of the "Stone Mirror Demon—Gothe," but compared to that ancient demon, this Seven-Ring sorcerer was still far behind.

Crack~ With another sound of a mirror shattering, the man who had been slashed in two by Xia De walked out of the air in a disheveled manner, with a clear blood line appearing on his face. He spat on the ground and then turned and fled into the distance. Xia De wanted to chase, but was stopped by the pharmacist lady:

"Do not chase anyone on this island; there is no need to take risks. Everything here must be done with caution."

Xia De then stopped, but his right hand still threw a lightning spear toward the fleeing figure. The lightning spear disappeared into the fog along with the man's back, and Xia De didn't know if he had hit the target.

"Not bad."

The pharmacist lady praised again:

"By the average level of a Six-Ring sorcerer, your combat power is quite good... if you really are a Six-Ring."

In the battle just now, Xia De didn't summon his life ring at all.

"I happen to be the kind of sorcerer who is good at fighting, and I have a good weapon. Actually, my theoretical level is very poor."

Xia De said modestly, and then threw a few light rings at the Five-Ring sorcerer who couldn't move. After confirming it was safe, he walked over, squatted down, and rummaged through the things in his pockets:

"Worthless spellcasting materials, potions of unknown use, hand-drawn island map, oh, a wallet!"

The wallet contained Delarion currency and Kassenrik currency. Xia De took them all out and put them into his own pocket: "Sure enough, I didn't feel wrong just now; there is also a relic."

It was a copper-red bracelet. The outer surface of the bracelet had fine star chart engravings, and the inner surface had a sentence written in an ancient language:

【May my thoughts protect you, my love.】

"An unknown relic."

Xia De muttered, and then signaled for the female sorceress behind him to come over for interrogation. But the pharmacist lady shook her head and took out another glass tube the size of half an index finger,

throwing it to Xia De from afar:

"You feed it to him; this is a truth serum. Also, do you have any miracles that can shake the mind or soul?"

Xia De nodded in surprise:

"I do."

"Give him a hit; in a state of mental exhaustion, the effect of my potion is better."

So Xia De put on his 【Crystal Ring of the Mind】. To prevent knocking the other party unconscious, he moved his finger further away before flicking it lightly. The eyelids of the man who couldn't move actually widened violently under the stimulation, and then his whole person looked unwell.

Xia De crushed the upper end of the glass container, poured the potion into his mouth, and then tried to ask:

"Who are you?"

After a moment of waiting, the man said nothing, so the pharmacist lady behind Xia De coughed, and only then did Xia De release the light ring on his neck.

"I am Connelly Stitch, a member of the Mirror..."

He clearly tried to resist, but it only lasted less than five seconds before he couldn't help but say: "... a member of the Mirror Association."

"I thought your potion would make him say everything in one breath."

Xia De said to the female sorceress, and the latter sneered:

"The effect of a potion will not undergo a qualitative change due to the level of the preparer. I didn't expect to encounter people, so the potions I have on me are not comprehensive; otherwise, one drop would be enough for us to ask everything."

She was quite confident in her potions, so Xia De said again:

"Then you ask."

"What is the Mirror Association arranging for you to do by coming to the island?"

"Re-confirm whether the Edwards family mansion has clues about the disaster."

"Not the elixir of life?"

"The association wants to figure out the cause of the thick fog on the island. The president believes that this may be related to some kind of powerful spatial phenomenon, and this spatial phenomenon is connected to the..."

His head just exploded like that in front of Xia De and the pharmacist lady. Xia De stood up and took a few steps back, while the female sorceress sighed:

"Sure enough, sorcerers from such illegal sorcerer groups all have this kind of measure."

"The Mirror Association made big news in the Tobesk area last week; I didn't expect them to come to Green Lake again."

Xia De said, pretending to know nothing, and the pharmacist lady did not continue this topic:

"I originally wanted to ask about the origin of that map; the markings on the map were a bit too detailed... After we leave here, I will arrange for my people to investigate the Mirror Association... Oh, all the spoils belong to you, after all, you won the fight. But that tube of potion that can unconditionally use a low-ring sublimation language, you must return it to me; even for me, preparing that kind of potion is difficult. I can give you some gold pounds as compensation; I won't take advantage of you." "I won't take advantage of others for nothing either."

Xia De threw the potion to her. Such a prompt decision actually surprised the pharmacist lady: "A sorcerer like you is rare. If you weren't..."

Xia De didn't hear the last sentence she muttered clearly.

The sorcerer of the Mirror Association was dead. With this method of death, presumably, spiritism wouldn't yield more information. So the female sorceress burned the corpse with a viscous red potion and then signaled for Xia De to leave with her.

The time had already reached 4:30 PM. Thinking of his date with Miss Jia Jia Lin Na in the evening and wanting to ask about the "Cat in the Bottle" potion, Xia De had no intention of staying on the island any longer.

He wanted to softly change the 【Staff of Yggdrasil】 in his hand back into the form of a key, but he suddenly paused, signaling for the pharmacist lady not to leave yet, and then turned with her to look at the burning corpse.

Xia De didn't know exactly what the female sorceress's potion, which was like fire oil, was, but clearly, that kind of potion shouldn't have the function of making a burning corpse lift its arm.

"What's going on?"

The pharmacist lady was also puzzled:

"I don't know either. This is also my first time dealing with a corpse on this island. Could it be that one cannot burn corpses or kill people here?"

"I thought you knew everything about this island."

As the two spoke, the burning corpse in the fire had already sat up straight like a zombie, and the raging fire did not continue to damage the corpse itself, but instead seemed to have become a part of the corpse.

At the same time, "She" by his ear softly reminded Xia De that some kind of invisible power was entering the corpse from outside the material world through the unstable space. Externally, this manifested as another upper body growing and wriggling out from the corpse's back. The brand-new upper body lay prone behind the charred upper body, and that intact face, identical to the corpse's, looked at Xia De and the pharmacist lady with a strange smile.

Clearly, this thing had its own intelligence.

"Why do I always encounter these things recently?"

Xia De said softly in his heart.

He wasn't surprised at all at this moment; after all, the 【Twin Lovers】 card clearly stated that the disaster of the fusion of body and soul came from the Green Lake area, and he had long known that he would encounter something similar sooner or later.

Moreover, although this thing looked terrifying and its power after "resurrecting" in this posture was far stronger than the deceased themselves, it was completely incomparable to the neighbors existing in the apocalypse that Xia De saw in 【Past Life · Sixth Era】. The neighbors who were identified as "strong" by the Tree Father in the apocalyptic timeline could no longer be considered monsters; they were simply evil things that had to be sealed in the sub-space.

If Xia De didn't have the 【Spatial Stability Aura】, he would probably have to be promoted to a high-ring to confront the "Twin Lovers." "A monster I haven't seen before, but it's very dangerous; be careful."

The pharmacist lady on the side frowned. In the fog, her expression was quite grim:

"The power of space, could this thing be... Mr. Watson, this is probably not something you can deal with alone; I'll help you."

As her voice fell, the monster instantly disappeared into the fog.
