Chapter 668 Demigod War
The "Iron Cross" is recorded in the internal documents of the Night Watchers. It is a secret sect that has only appeared in the last two or three hundred years. Like the "Aurora Society", it believes in the "True Creator", but there seems to be differences between the two. They rarely appear together and cooperate to cause "destruction".
A demigod from the "Eighth Bureau", a descendant of a branch of Sauron's family, who believes in the "True Creator", also caused a reaction from the mirror fragments and was suspected to have been replaced by the "Man in the Mirror". This Syrio Sauron is more complicated than me... Angel laughed dumbly. If he was not in battle, he almost wanted to stick his head out of the mirror world and taunt the hunter.
However, the raging flames in the mirror passage forced her to change positions frequently, and she also had some guesses in her heart as to why the other party could attack the mirror world that was isolated from reality.
According to Danio and Cheval's performance, no matter what path the "Man in the Mirror" takes, it seems that he has mastered some mirror magic, similar to the "Witch" path's control over the mirror world.
As a demigod, it's no surprise that Syrio was able to use the mirror passage to set a trap and intercept me at 13 Market Avenue, then seal off the surrounding area, making it an independent battlefield, and even use Hunter's Flame to attack the mirror world...
At the same time, as a member of the military intelligence department, he could easily obtain details of the two major churches' operations to capture the "Mirror Man". Therefore, he knew that a certain "Mirror Man" team had been exposed. Following the clues, it was easy to determine that the information was leaked by Danio Brown, the only missing "Mirror Man". And my method of cleaning up the scene was likely not hidden from this demigod...
While analyzing the opponent's various abilities and the reasons for coming to her, Angel left through the flame-covered mirror passage. The next moment, she appeared on the fourth floor of the abandoned building and entered a room whose doors and windows had disappeared. She aimed directly at the window facing the outside and was about to jump out of the building and return to the market avenue below.
On the sixth floor, Syrio, who was tirelessly attacking the "mirror world", sensed something and looked at the floor below. He then pulled out a flaming spear that was stabbing at the ground, and swung his arm violently. The scorching spear penetrated the two layers of floor like a ray and pierced Angel's back. He himself also burned instantly, turning into a stream of flames, and shot out along with the spear that cleared the way.
One after the other, the spear and the flames pierced Angel's vest, and then turned into flames that enveloped her body, wrapped her in it, deformed her, and melted her into a sticky mass of unknown substance.
It was a piece of glass that was everywhere in this building!
Boom! Syrio, who had transformed into a human form again in the high temperature, frowned. Before he could react, he felt countless eyes looking at him from the side, behind, and above. He glanced casually and his heart almost stopped.
In the room, glass fragments and crystal ice mirrors appeared out of nowhere, reflecting his tall body with the heat of fire from all angles.
The man in these mirrors had a gloomy expression, gray skin, and bulging eyes, as if he had contracted a fatal disease. Thin black lines appeared on the skin of his neck and wrists, with black flames surging in them, as if they were about to break through the skin.
Then, the same state appeared on him. The "Iron-Blooded Knight" had wide-open eyes, purple lips, and bloodshot eyes. He felt that he would die in the next second from the "disease" and "curse" intensified by countless mirrors.
At the same time, the real Angel is still hiding in the "mirror world", looking at Syrio in the real world through countless pairs of mirrors that serve as her eyes. The scorching flames around her are constantly surging, but they cannot hurt her at all, because the attacked mirror passages are not in the same area as her location.
These "people in the mirror" have only a superficial understanding and use of the weird and distorted "mirror world". How can they compare with a real "despair" witch?
Under the gaze of many eyes, and under the enhancement of the mirror that reflected his figure, Syrio, who was seriously ill and surrounded by curses, was about to fall down. However, there was no despair in his eyes. He just closed them gently, and when he opened them again, he had the sharpness of a veteran in the battle.
On the first floor of this abandoned building, the homeless people and beggars who were hiding in the unattended place felt an extremely majestic aura emanating from the upper floors, which made them involuntarily change from sitting or lying positions to standing, with excited expressions, looking upwards, like soldiers saluting the general who had come here.
At this moment, they were all followers of Syrio Soren, the "Iron-Blooded Knight", and were forcibly "recruited" by him!
Sensing the new "team" taking shape below, Syrio's lips, which had turned purple, curled up slightly, and almost instantly regained their redness. His bloodshot eyes became clear, and his hunched body straightened up again.
The "disease" and "curse" on him were miraculously relieved.
No, it was transmitted to the temporary "teams" below through some kind of connection... Angel looked at the first floor through the mirror in silence, and found that the homeless people who were standing upright like well-trained soldiers in the previous second had fallen down one after another, their bodies either burning in the black flame curse or rotting rapidly from the mystical disease.
They all took this fatal attack on behalf of their "captain"!
No wonder the Iron Knights' promotion ceremony requires a team of trusting, unified individuals. Apparently, their key skill lies in sharing damage and concentrating their strength through bonds between teammates... But I never expected Syrio, who arrived alone, to conscript these innocents and use them as scapegoats...
Angel pursed his lips, and before he could feel sad for them, he immediately looked at the "Iron-Blooded Knight" Syrio on the fourth floor. The latter's original injuries were "shared", and the subsequent diseases and curses had not yet taken effect. His whole body was once again ignited with burning flames. This time, he did not turn into a stream of flames and leave, but continued to expand. In an instant, he became a fire giant with a height of more than two meters and three, almost touching the ceiling.
The flames that burst out from all parts of his body did not burn his windbreaker and the string of tin men hanging on his belt, but easily melted the ice and glass fragments around him, preventing Angel from using these mirrors to increase the damage of disease and curse.
Moreover, this high-temperature flame has a natural resistance to disease and curse, just like the demonization of the "demon" path... Is this the "flame transformation" ability of the hunter after becoming a demigod?
After seeing the "Red Priest" card and having a certain understanding of the abilities of the Hunter Path, Angel understood it. He no longer tried to hide in the "mirror world" and use ineffective curses and diseases to deal with the opponent. Instead, he returned to the real world from another floor, looked at Syrio who had turned into a blazing giant through the floor and wall, and stretched out his left hand wearing a black glove and twisted it outward.
In her sight, three light balls of different colors appeared at the position of Syrio on the other side of the wall. They were constantly rotating around this "Iron-Blooded Knight". Some were hot, some were hard, and some exuded invisible majesty.
I choose flame...
Angel's mind moved, and with the five fingers of his left hand wearing the "Parasite" gloves, he grasped the red fireball that emitted a burning breath.
The next second, Syrio Soran, whose sense of crisis suddenly grew stronger, lost his ability to "transform into flames". The flaming figure that looked like a god descending from heaven went out in a few wisps of green smoke with a puff and became smaller.
"The thief... no, the one who can steal my abilities, is it the 'parasite'?"
The willpower honed in countless battles prevented this "Iron-Blooded Knight" from panicking after losing his ability. Instead, he reacted immediately. He knew that in a few seconds, the "disease" and "curse" would come back to haunt him, and since he had already lost his teammates and his ability to transform into flames, he would be unable to cope with it.
Then, let's create new teammates...
He snorted coldly, feeling fortunate that he had already made the corresponding preparations. His right hand, which had returned to flesh from the flames, reached for his belt and pulled out a string of iron-black iron soldiers, each strung together by iron rings and holding different weapons in their hands, and threw it forward.
The string of ten tin men separated from each other in the air, fell to the ground, rolled twice and then stopped moving.
Then, with the help of the mirrors in other rooms on the fourth floor, Angel looked at the long corridor. Soldiers in iron armor and holding sharp blades lined up and walked out of the room where Syrio was. Their faces were hidden under full-coverage helmets, their movements were stiff but very powerful, and their steps were as neat as a military parade. With the rhythmic footsteps, all ten armored soldiers entered the corridor, divided into two teams, and welcomed their general, the "Iron Knight" Syrio, out of the room.
An invisible aura of majesty emanated from him, and in an instant, the ten armored soldiers became his teammates, forming a small legion.
This... is a magical item?
Even though she had seen the power of a "0" level seal and possessed two magical items close to a "1" level seal, she was still stunned by this bizarre scene.
"The 'Reaper Legion' was originally a Level 1 Sealed Artifact. During the 'White Rose War', a 'War Bishop' of Intis and the ten soldiers who held out to the end of his legion died at the hands of an angel. Their bodies, along with their Beyonder characteristics, became these Iron Soldiers.
"When used, simply throw it out, and it will transform into ten armored soldiers the size of an adult. They possess some of the abilities of a 'Reaper,' are proficient with the weapons they wield, and can inflict 'weak point attacks' and 'fatal attacks.' They can simply obey the wielder's commands. If the wielder is a high-sequence 'Hunter,' they can use the corresponding connection to distribute damage to them, concentrating their power on themselves and unleashing a more powerful 'fatal attack.'
"The 'Reaper Legion' can last for 30 minutes, and after disappearing, it takes 24 hours to summon again. If a wielder below Sequence 5 attempts to summon them, these soldiers will kill the 'impostor'. Even demigods face the same danger once they are injured and their strength decreases.
"When carrying it, the holder becomes reckless, their conversations and actions easily annoying others, and prone to attack."
Recalling the information about the "Reaper Legion" in his mind, Syrio grinned, sneered, and gave orders in his heart.
At the same time, ten soldiers raised their weapons in unison and shouted in unison.
"ha!"
The next moment, the flaming spear in Syrio's hand shot towards Angel's "weak point" with the power to penetrate everything.
