Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 880 Serial Trap
Seeing the enemy who was originally dozens of meters away suddenly appear beside her, Tracy sneered, and instead of dodging, she took the initiative to face the opponent.

The invisible spider silk beside her was like an invisible hand, quickly pouncing towards the other party.

Most of them had already wrapped around the enemy who was approaching using fire jumps, and only a few broke and dissipated in the fire caused by Elaine, but the touch made Tracy frown.

That obscure and sluggish touch is not the feedback from the spider silk binding the flesh, but the result of the entanglement and confrontation between different spider silks.

She is the witch of joy!
But isn't there only one "witch" on the "Redhead" who has only recently appeared? She has been promoted in such a short time?

Tracy's invisible spider silk did not achieve the desired effect due to misjudgment of the enemy's strength. She immediately changed her strategy. Biting cold ice surged out from under her feet, spreading forward on the beach, extending into sharp ice spikes to block the opponent's advance.

At the same time, bunches of black flames carrying the power of curse appeared in the air. They did not fly towards the enemy immediately, but gathered around Tracy as if for defense.

Bang, bang——

The scarlet fire crows flying from not far away hit the black flames accurately. The red and black colors blended with each other, but there was no explosion. Instead, they canceled each other out and annihilated.

During this gap, Sherman moved flexibly, avoiding the ice spike that was stabbing at her. The dagger in her hand was burning with flames, and she stabbed Tracy quickly and accurately.

There was a crisp sound like breaking glass, and the bracelet inlaid with diamonds on Tracy's right wrist suddenly lit up, flickering in the light of the Fire Crow. A translucent barrier appeared between the two of them, and the tip of the dagger in Sherman's hand poked on it, creating countless cracks in the air.

Taking this opportunity, Tracy's body retreated backwards, creating a distance between herself and Sherman. At the same time, the "disease" that appeared with her as the center also spread around.

If they delay for a minute or two, they will lose their fighting power, no matter it is the witch of "joy" or the "conspirator" Elaine... As soon as this thought popped up in Tracy's mind, a light as bright as the sun lit up in front of her eyes.

The dagger in the witch's hand, blocked by the defensive barrier created by her bracelet, exploded like a bomb.

boom--

The scorching flames quickly swept over the two witches who were fighting each other. Elaine's heart suddenly rose, and she only breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the sounds of different mirrors breaking.

She didn't even know whether she was worried about her companion Sherman or Tracy.

The fire on the beach turned into black smoke and floated into the sky. Only gravel that was baked by the hot waves and two piles of mirror fragments were left. The figures of Sherman and Tracy appeared on both sides. The dagger in the former's hand no longer burned with flames, and the latter shook her right hand with a gloomy face. The diamonds on the surface of the bracelet on her wrist had become dim and no longer had a defensive effect.

Moreover, she noticed that the "disease" in the air was consumed a lot by the high temperature, which greatly reduced the efficiency of infecting the other party with the disease and delayed the onset time accordingly.

Was this something they had planned long ago? Using the explosion of the dagger that was supposed to have come from the "Hunter" path to consume my protective bracelet, while at the same time delaying the progression of the "disease"... Was this the plan of Elaine, the "conspirator"?

Tracy's blue eyes were fixed on the fire crows that appeared beside her again. At the same time, the red-haired Elaine was running towards her with a scimitar in her hand. Her expression became more depressed and entangled.

The next second, she closed her eyes, and countless black flames surged out of her body, following a strange path and flying towards the enemy.

This time, her attack did not avoid Elaine.

On the sea not far away, the "Black Death" and "Red Head Girl", which had responded to the explosion on the beach, were no longer confronting each other. The artillery was pushed to the gun position, and solid projectiles penetrated the opponent's hull. Flames, black flames and ice flew everywhere, and gunshots were heard from time to time.

The fighting on both battlefields became increasingly intense.

----

In the empty and dark world, spider-web-like gray passages spread in different directions. This is the "mirror world" that is isolated from the real world but has countless entrances and exits.

A figure in a white robe with black hair fluttering behind her was moving quickly in one of the passages. She adjusted her direction from time to time, avoiding certain dangerous areas and heading straight to the south.

"According to my prediction, Tracy should have already contacted those people on the 'Redhead'. Whether she succeeds in capturing Elaine or fails due to weakness, it will increase her inner pain and make her want to change herself so that she can be promoted smoothly..."

The melodious and moving tone lingered in the mirror channel, but no listener could appreciate it.

"Of course, for me, only by capturing Elaine as a bargaining chip can I negotiate with the 'Golden Queen' Angelica and ask her to hand over Triss Chick to complete my final mission... She has already appeared on the outskirts of Backlund. Even if she goes to the southern continent through the mirror world now, she will be much slower than me...

"Humph, if it weren't for this, I could have left Backlund long ago. By the end of the year at the latest, a bigger conflict would have broken out in this city where countless forces have gathered... Wenza should know her location, but she's unwilling to tell me. Could it be that she also..." "White Saint" Katarina seemed to have a strong desire to confide. She flew in the empty mirror passage while talking to herself. The turbulent sea beneath her kept becoming a new "mirror" and then disappeared in an instant, leaving the mirror world flickering with strange light and shadow.

Just as she passed through an island and the sea below turned into land, the spider-web-like passage beside her suddenly became dim, leaving only a relatively bright "exit" leading to the ground.

Catalina's quickly moving figure had no choice but to descend and slow down along this only path, then drill out of the mirror and return to the real world.

As soon as the crimson moonlight, the dark night sky and the uninhabited island appeared in her sight, her chest was pierced by a straight sword burning with a blue-green flame. Her body was ablaze, and then turned into molten mirror fragments that scattered to the ground, like a firework that failed to launch and exploded on the spot.

The real Catalina appeared next to a tall coconut tree dozens of meters away. Her left eye had countless cracks and was repairing itself quickly, while her right eye was fixed on the place where her mirror double was broken.

There stood a young woman holding a straight sword, with long light blond hair flowing.

That's Angelica Sage, the "Golden Queen."

So that's how it was. The one who appeared in the outskirts of Backlund was not her... The one who had the ability to change appearance and was also a demigod was the "crazy adventurer" Gehrman Sparrow who was very close to her.

He could have used the puppet to pretend to be his subordinate, and then used the transformation between the puppet and the real body to achieve a similar effect to the "mirror substitute". Although the "Golden Queen" in the mirror was real, she had already left Backlund and came to the place where I had to pass in advance to ambush me...

The situation I encountered just now was very similar to a "hunter's" trap, and the hunter was a demigod who knew the "mirror world" very well... Could it be that she had the help of the "man in the mirror"...

Or maybe, she used a magical item from the "Hunter" path, and she also reached a higher sequence, becoming an "immortal" witch, so that she could go deep into the mirror world and intercept me directly...

At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Catalina's mind. She figured out everything that had happened before and realized that she had fallen into a trap.

Catalina chuckled as she looked at Angelica, who was approaching slowly with a burning sword in her hand and a calm expression. She did not attack but said:

"Angelica Sage, the 'Golden Queen', this should be the second time we meet, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. Last time I was still the Witch of Pain and was almost killed by you on the Black Death. I didn't expect that when I was promoted to Sequence 3, you would still be in this sequence."

The other party's words made Catalina's expression freeze, and she had the urge to take action, but she quickly replied with relief:
"Since you have been promoted to 'Immortal', you should know that I did not intend to kill you that day. Otherwise, you would not be alive before the Archon of Death arrived."

"You mean, since you spared my life then, I should do the same now?"

The witch with blonde hair and purple eyes had already walked in front of her. She sneered when she heard the words and asked back half teasingly and half provocatively.

I always feel like I'm talking to a "Hunter" demigod. Could this be a side effect of some magical item? Katarina suppressed her anger again, her eyes flickered, and she smiled innocently.
"I don't think there is any deep hatred between us. Besides, as both of us are 'immortals', you should know that it is almost impossible to kill me completely... Therefore, you made many arrangements to intercept me here in order to get the answers to certain questions."

Although she was questioning, her tone was calm, as if she was certain of Angel's intentions.

As expected of an "ageless" witch who has lived for thousands of years, this shows that she has no ambition, but also that she can read people's expressions and protect herself. She never uses force when it is not necessary... Feeling that the other party remained calm despite being provoked repeatedly, Angel smiled with emotion and said:

"I really have no reason to kill you. Of course, things like posthumous communication do not count... What I want to know is, what secrets of King George III are hidden in the ruins of Alistair Tudor that you entered?"

"Haha, so you went to great lengths to trick me out just for this." Catalina narrowed her charming blue eyes and smiled like a girl. "Unfortunately, even though our cooperation with the royal family has ended, the corresponding 'secrecy' has not been abolished. I can't say anything about those ruins..."

Those? Are there more than one?
Angel's eyes narrowed, unsure whether Catalina revealed this by accident or on purpose.

But she knew that the other party would definitely put forward certain conditions next.

"…But if you can tell me where Triss is, I might be able to find a way to bypass the 'secret keeping' and tell you something."

Catalina's tone turned serious and her demeanor changed, making her look mature and reliable in Angel's eyes.

Triss... The black cat Wenza has sent her letters several times, so he should know where the other party is hiding. I thought Catalina had already known everything from it... Angel thought about it and shook his head.

"I reject this condition, but I can give you another option: tell everything, or wait for your daughter, 'Admiral Disease' Tracy, to die tonight."
