Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 674 "Leader"

As the light of life disappeared in the eyes of Syrio, who was transformed into a "little" giant from the lava, his twisted body also erupted with bursts of high temperature. Flames under the metal skin surged out from everywhere, licking his whole body and the bone sword in his hand. , the weapon on the chest and the "betrayers" behind him.

The bone sword deformed in the high temperature, but the armored soldiers and their weapons were not affected in any way, which demonstrated the defensive capabilities of this magical item. These soldiers pulled out their weapons one after another, without any pause, and stabbed Xili from behind again. O's body.

Swish, swish.

Fortunately, those five were commanded for a full half hour. They had shared the damage and provided strength. The iron soldiers who acted like cows did not hate their former boss too much. After confirming that Syrio Sauron was completely dead, He immediately stopped and did not show a great show of corpse dismemberment in front of Angel's eyes.

But Angel soon discovered that it wasn't that they didn't want to, but that they couldn't.

As Silion's incomplete mythical creature form covered with metal skin and billowing lava inside collapsed, the corpse turned into a shapeless mass of iron in the high temperature, exuding a strange aura.

The five armored soldiers who killed him also raised their weapons in different styles, but they were all postures to welcome victory. They shrunk to the size that can be held in one palm, and connected end to end one by one, restoring the original iron-black color. Tin Man pendant shape.

Did it lose the spiritual support of its master and return to its original state, or did it run out of time?

Angel quickly landed on the ground, approached the group of soldiers, carefully picked them up while they were still a little hot, and then looked at Sirio who had been "stabbed in the back" and died in the form of an incomplete mythical creature.

Is it a side effect of magical items? Does it inherit some traits from the Hunter path?
After looking at the tin puppets in his hands, which looked lifelike and seemed to have Sirio's blood on their sword and spear points, Angel made some guesses.

She placed Sirio's body, which was still hot, on its back, took out the magic mirror close to her, and prepared to perform a magic mirror divination.

After being burned by high temperature, the bone sword thrown by Angel had been completely deformed and completely damaged, and was gathering a little bit of light. This did not surprise her. It was a magical item made from the extraordinary characteristics of the Sequence 6 "Dawn Knight" , even with excellent defense, it is difficult to withstand the demigod-level flames.

This was the result of being in poor condition and forcing himself to move closer to the mythical creature. Of course, if it weren't for the betrayal of those soldiers, he might still be able to fight... She thought about it, and became more and more convinced that even if she was at a disadvantage in the battle, she would have to enter Going crazy and turning into a mythical creature is also the worst option.

In addition, only the ancient silver mirror on Syrio and the eye-shaped mirror that brought the two people into the fourth era of Trier have withstood the ravages of high temperature. Some other ritual items and gold and silver coins have become invisible. The original metal block, and more items such as banknotes have long been reduced to ashes.

If I am not a demigod, let alone psychic, even simple divination will fail... Angel muttered, set up the magic mirror, recited the psychic prayer, and changed the part that originally prayed to the goddess of safety to point to himself. .

Of course, the characteristics of the magical items can be studied slowly after leaving. Before the "disaster giant" approaches here for a few minutes, Angel has to do one more important thing.

He is really poor... No, possessing a demigod-level magical item is already stronger than most people... Angel chuckled and muttered:
"Poor guy."

What surprised her was that the "Disaster Giant" was still a thousand meters away. The dark clouds, steam and flames floating around him had gradually enveloped his figure, allowing Angel, the demigod, to barely look straight in that direction. You will not be suppressed personally or polluted spiritually.

When he first came to the area of ​​"Trier in the Fourth Age", Angel discovered that the connection with the spiritual world was extremely weak. This not only affected the extraordinary people's own spiritual vigilance, but also led to Silio's eventual death by the armored soldier. Killing by sneak attack will also cause instability in any channeling, divination and other means based on communication with the spirit world.

So, without any delay, she began searching for Syrio's shapeless body.

Angel estimated that there were still about five minutes before the giant came and caused serious pollution and natural disasters, which was much easier than before.

Moreover, I, or the mythical creature form of the witch pathway is most likely a Gorgon. If I die in this situation, will I decompose into a pile of small snakes, or will I petrify myself?
Shaking his head and no longer thinking about such horrific things, Angel came to Silio's side and used the power of "frost" to quickly lower the temperature around the corpse. At the same time, he glanced into the distance with the corner of his eye and looked at the man. The out-of-control "conqueror".

It was because He slowed down that the "natural disaster" he stirred up enveloped his huge body again... Because Syrio Sauron, an Extraordinary of the same path and blood of the same family, has died and is no longer attracted to Him. force?

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized something was wrong. Even if she thought this way in the past, she would always slander her and rarely speak sarcastically.

This will greatly shorten the time of channeling and consume a lot more spiritual energy, but it can avoid the disturbance caused by the weak connection with the spirit world and increase the success rate of channeling.

Sure enough, while Angel felt his spirituality continue to drain away, a burst of mist appeared on the surface of the magic mirror, and then Syrio Sauron's orange-red hair and face full of anger appeared.

Unlike the usually confused psychic targets, he seemed to still retain the emotions he had during his lifetime. This may be related to the fact that he was on the verge of losing control and transformed into an incomplete mythical creature form before dying... Angel estimated that his spirituality could last for up to two minutes. Without waiting for further thought, he quickly asked:
"Syrio, do you remember how to leave 'Trier of the Fourth Age'?" She didn't even bother to guide the conversation with a few simple questions like she usually did. Instead, she directly pointed out the other party's identity and got to the point.

"...It's very simple. Use that silver mirror to enter the corresponding, special 'mirror world', and then leave, and you can return to reality. Touch the mirror three times to activate it," the dead Silio finally said The sarcastic expression disappeared and he replied calmly, "But two identical silver mirrors will interfere with each other and point their destination to each other."

No wonder he activated the silver mirror before and left, and then returned to the same place instantly. This is equivalent to an endless loop. Only by destroying one side can the other side function...

Comparing it with Sirio's previous actions, Angel confirmed the authenticity of the answer and quickly asked the second question:

"What is the real purpose of your action?"

She had some guesses about this, but she still had to speak with the person involved in order to confirm it.

"First of all, of course, we have to deal with you, the culprit who reported us and led to the arrest of an entire team and a senior 'Mirror Man.'" Syrio's blank eyes flashed with resentment, which was then suppressed by necromancy. "Secondly, let's attract the patron angel of this month, Bonova Gustave, through battle, and bring him into the special mirror world through the mirror made by our leader. What needs to be done after that is not mine. I can tell.”

Bonova Gustave...the one who came to "stop the fighting" was the second son of Emperor Russell, an angel who was nearly two hundred years old? The real goal of the "Man in the Mirror" is actually so big. Is he trying to trick an angel into the mirror world and copy and replace him?

Hearing this name, Angel felt as if a historical figure had walked into reality.

"Even if his 'man in the mirror' appears, he can't leave the mirror world, right?"

she asked.

"It seems that you know us very well, but through some large-scale disturbances and weakening the seal, there is a chance that demigods and even angels can come to the real world. Before that, we could only find and replace those with potential. Sequence 5, and then let them be promoted to demigods in the real world.”

"Such as you."

"Yes."

Syrio was so honest that Angel was a little uncomfortable with it, but then she felt the rapid loss of spirituality, and the image in the mirror became illusory. Knowing that the magic mirror divination in which she provided spirituality in this special space was unsustainable, she considered it. Asked the last question:
"Who is the 'leader' you are talking about?"

Under her expectant gaze, Sirio opened his mouth and spit out a name.

Before this "information" left the surface of the magic mirror and reached Angel's eyes and ears, it exploded in the mirror. When Angel was stunned, it exploded into colorful colors together with Sirio's spirit body inside, but it was completely helpless. The light of recognition.

There seemed to be countless useful or useless knowledge hidden in this burst of light, but before it was completely assembled, it dissipated above Silio's gradually cooling body.

Is this some kind of "secret keeping"?
Angel had seen similar power in channeling before, so Angel was not surprised. She knew that this secretive organization probably had the means to prevent members from leaking key information, and deliberately left this question at the end to avoid losing Sirio's spirit body directly. , unable to obtain any useful information.

I guessed it right. I don’t know whether I should be lucky or unlucky... She smiled to herself, comparing the extraordinary characteristics of the "Iron-Blooded Knight" that were quickly released due to the complete destruction of the spirit body, and the "Iron-Blooded Knight" that was also lying quietly on the ground. Holding the "Dawn Knight" characteristic in his hand, he used a simple spiritual wall seal while looking at the "Disaster Giant" in the distance.

The latter's footsteps were aimless, but he was still getting closer. Angel could already feel the slight burning heat and the shudder of looking directly at the majestic figure in the smoke and storm.

It's time to go... She didn't dare to use the "mirror space" here, lest the items would be dropped in Trier in the Fourth Age after leaving. She had to stuff all kinds of trophies into her pockets like a thief in a hurry, and in the clinking Standing up amid the crash.

Then, looking at the two silver mirrors with almost the same appearance, I felt troubled.

“According to Syrio, one of the mirrors needs to be destroyed for the other mirror to take effect.

"Then, should I use the side that can take him back to that special mirror world, but may face other people in the mirror, or should I use the side that I brought from Backlund, which is said to be able to enter a special mirror world? That side?"
