Chapter 667 Interception in the Mirror World
In the dark and deep world of the mirror, Angel followed the passage that he had gradually become familiar with in the past few days and returned to the Honest Man Market area where he temporarily lived.
Under normal circumstances, she would rather waste some time with Ferkin and slowly go home in a hired carriage that was as slow as the turtle that Trier was walking, but just now in Seville's villa, she felt something was wrong.
There are spiritual reminders in this, but more of them are the messages hidden in the words of Severia, the "Joy" witch of the witch sect: There is a high-ranking witch behind me who can convey information at any time.
Since it can transmit information, can it also receive information? Can it sense what is happening around Severia at any time?
Although he didn't know why his old boss, whose strength had not improved at all after more than half a year and who had even fallen from being a baroness to the wife of a fallen nobleman, wanted to secretly remind him, Angel still decisively ended the conversation and left the mirror world.
Is it possible that she's bluffing, aiming to scare me off, lest I, a "witch of the True God Church," capture her and bring her back for questioning regarding her involvement in the Backlund smog incident?
As Angel shuttled through the spider-web-like passage, this thought popped into his mind.
If the spirit hadn't stopped her, she would have even wanted to turn around and return to Severia's house to launch a surprise attack and see if the other party had any "backup plan".
But when he saw the exit of the mirror passage with a faint glow not far away, Angel still laughed at his own hesitation, and flashed out of the mirror world.
Um?
What appeared before her was not a suite in the "Riverside Hotel" on the south bank of the Serenzo River, but a completely unfamiliar room.
Blackened by smoke, you could almost smell the burnt brick walls, the broken glass windows, the rotten wooden doors, the ground littered with all kinds of garbage, and the air was filled with the mixed smells of rotting food and pungent oil...
Is this the abandoned building at 13 Market Avenue?
Angel's eyes swept across the street outside the window, the interior decoration, and the homeless man sitting by the gate in the distance, and he quickly confirmed his location.
Speaking of which, the exit of the mirror world passage just now suddenly appeared in front of me, dozens of seconds earlier than I expected, but I left there without hesitation and returned to the real world... Was it because I was thinking about other problems, or was there some force interfering with me?
Angel came to his senses instantly and was about to walk towards the glass window he had just come out of, ready to enter the mirror world again, but the selected glass was not activated and turned into a black vortex, but instead flashed a red flame with a hint of bright yellow.
It was a flame that came from behind her and enveloped the entire room!
Without any hesitation, Angel went straight into the mirror in front of her and entered the mirror world isolated from reality. However, she immediately found that the passages around her that originally led to infinity seemed to be blocked by something. They were only visible about tens of meters away from her. Farther away, it was dark.
"The mirror world is isolated? It seems to be limited to the interior of the building at 13 Market Avenue..."
She made a quick judgment, chose a passage away from the room she had just been in, crawled out of the slightly dim exit, and appeared in a room on the top floor of the six-story building.
Compared to the area below, the interior of the upper building was destroyed more thoroughly by the fire. The original glass windows melted and then solidified, falling to the ground below the windows in strange shapes. The mirrors formed were small and irregular. All the wooden decorations were burned into clumps of black ash, which mixed with the exposed bricks under the long-term sun and rain, forming a series of abstract paintings with unclear meaning.
But Angel had no time to pay attention to these scenes. In front of her stood a man in a light windbreaker with short orange-red hair like a hedgehog. His chest was open, revealing the gray shirt and wide belt underneath. Tied to the belt were ten thumb-sized tin men, hanging down to his knees like iron chains, and kept swinging.
"Haha, you cowardly witch, as expected, after I cut off your escape route, you will subconsciously flee to the farthest location, which is this corner on the top floor."
The orange-red-haired man chuckled and said, his voice seemed to be smoked and had a strange hoarseness.
This feeling of wanting to fight him must be due to his Hunter Path... Knowing I can travel through the mirror world and still daring to intercept me, he must be at least a Sequence 4 demigod. This also fits his style of setting a trap and forcing me to a designated location...
Angel thought for a moment and then said:
"Are you from the Soran family? Or a demigod of the Intis military?"
She first suspected these two. After all, the orange-red-haired Hunter was too easy for people to associate with. And two hundred years ago, Intis was still ruled by Soren, who mastered the "Hunter" path. It was normal for the military to be dominated by Beyonders of this path, just like the military of Loen was full of Arbiter paths...
"I was able to find your whereabouts so quickly. Who do you think I am? A whistleblower?"
This hunter demigod was similar to the others Angel had met. He spoke with a tone of sarcasm that was either thick or thin. Perhaps it was because the role-playing had been integrated into his soul, or perhaps he used it to disrupt other people's thinking, create anxiety and anger, and create favorable conditions for himself.
But he called me the "whistleblower" because he probably knew that I had reported the "Man in the Mirror" to the two major churches. The most likely possibility was that I was a military demigod.
Compared to being blocked by the Soran family, being tracked by the military at least has room for explanation...
Angel secretly breathed a sigh of relief, deciding not to directly clash with the country's military. She forced a kind smile and asked:
"So, what's the matter with the military demigod that has me trapped here?"
"Regarding the issue of the 'Man in the Mirror', you still owe us, the Church of the Eternal Sun, and the Church of Steam an explanation.
"Please come with me to the Eighth Inning."
The demigod hunter replied in a cold tone, took two steps back, left the drafty room, and pointed to the stairs going downstairs.
Speaking of the Eighth Inning, it reminds me of the "magician" who brought ten white candles... Angel smiled secretly, and while keeping up with the other party's pace, he was thinking about whether to find a chance to escape and leave Trier immediately, or go to the "Eighth Inning" first and then reveal his identity.
At the same time, she also used her eyes as a magic mirror, quickly performing a divination and carefully confirming the other party's identity.
But at this moment, the black mirror fragment that she had placed close to her body and had just used to confirm whether Sylvia was the "person in the mirror" suddenly shook slightly a few times.
When she had detected that Sheval Duma and Danio Brown were the people in the mirror, the mirror fragments had reacted at a full ten meters away, and at this moment she was only two or three meters away from the military hunter demigod.
Was it a false alarm, or did the "demigod" have the ability to suppress the mutual induction of the people in the mirror... Angel's thoughts were working rapidly, and his eyes looking at the orange-red short-haired hunter in front of him became sharp.
Swish——
The hunter suddenly stopped, turned his upper body at incredible speed, and held a spear with a white flame center in his right hand, which he stabbed into Angel's chest almost instantly.
Bang! Angel, with a look of horror on his face, shattered into pieces of gradually transparent glass fragments, some of which melted under the high temperature and exploded like fireworks, filling the entire room with scorching air.
But in the next second, these flames were quickly extinguished in the low temperature. The cold air that could freeze the soul was like an invisible giant hand, quickly grabbing the hunter demigod. The biting cold froze the white-hot flaming spear in his hand, and for a moment he seemed to have become an ice sculpture.
While using the mirror substitute to avoid the fatal blow, Angel has once again entered the "mirror world" confined inside the building. Then, using the glass that is distorted but can still reflect external objects, he introduces the power of frost into the real world, freezing the unsuspecting hunter demigod in place.
Of course, she knew that such an attack was not fatal, so she did not leave the mirror world immediately, but carefully observed the outside world through the mirror.
Sure enough, flames quickly surged out from the interior of the "ice sculpture" covered with hoarfrost, dispelling the surrounding cold air. The frost nearby was directly vaporized. Amidst the steam, the tall hunter stepped out, left the empty room, and came to the corridor leading to both ends of the abandoned building.
As if he had already known that Angel was hiding in the "mirror world" and could not leave the building in this way, the hunter demigod snorted coldly, and calmly summoned the flaming spear that had just been extinguished in the ice. He held it with both hands and stabbed it hard into the ground.
The scorching spear did not pierce the fragile floor, but seemed to enter the void, the front half disappearing from under the hunter's feet, along with the flames gushing from his burning hands, constantly licking the floor.
At the same time, in the mirror world where Angel was, a stream of incandescent flames burst out and spread along a winding passage that was blocked on all sides and only within a range of tens of meters. A high temperature that made Angel frown quickly enveloped her whole body.
He can actually attack the mirror world directly?
Angel changed his position instantly and looked out, he saw a sense of familiarity in the hunter's ferocious expression, short orange-red hair, sharp eyebrows, thick lips and other features.
Oh, and Danio's "Undercover Notes" records several official figures who are suspected to be powerful Beyonders... Angel recalled the tasks that the "Man in the Mirror" Danio had diligently completed before he was replaced, and confirmed the identity of this hunter demigod.
Syrio Soren, a member of the Soren family's branch, worked in the Intis military intelligence department, the "Eighth Bureau". Danio once suspected that he was a powerful Beyonder because of the majesty he exuded from time to time, and he was also suspected of having connections with the "Iron Cross".
The latter is a completely secretive organization, not tolerated by official Beyonders and the military.
Based on Soran's combat prowess, and the fact that he was able to quickly break free from Angel's ice and even had the strength to fight back, Angel could determine that he should be a "Hunter", or Sequence 4 of the "Red Priest" pathway.
"Iron-Blooded Knight!"
