Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 980: The Manifestation of Authority

In fact, in the previous battle, Klein had already witnessed the fighting style of the "Disaster" witch. The biggest difference compared to before was the meteor shower that could cover the entire island, and the tsunami that was gradually coming from all directions.

This must be the embodiment of the name "disaster".

But in his heart, he was still full of expectations for Angel's narration. After all, this was the first real angel of the Tarot Club, not those who had taken photos with The Fool before.

This is not only an improvement for Angel himself, but also a great expansion of his networking capabilities as an "ancient scholar".

There is a "disaster" witch who can be summoned from the cracks of history at any time, and the other party will definitely not refuse. It's exciting to think about it.

Looking at Klein's expectant eyes, Angel smiled and explained the changes in her abilities after she was promoted to Sequence 2.

This was mostly information that came from the potion itself, as well as her understanding of the battle with Amon's clone:

First of all, the "Disaster" Witch can summon various natural disasters in battle, including but not limited to meteorites, earthquakes, storms, floods and tsunamis. The intensity can also be controlled by herself, from small to accurately destroying a house and shaking down an underground tomb, to large to let meteorite rain destroy an entire city, and even cause an area the size of the Rorsted Islands to suffer an irresistible tsunami.

This is consistent with Klein's guess. It is the embodiment of the authority of "natural disasters" on the path of witches. The various materialized natural disasters contain the power to completely destroy everything. Even extraordinary people from other paths who are also angels find it difficult to contend head-on.

Of course, they can choose to retreat temporarily. As long as an angel is determined to escape, basically no one can stop him, but this is equivalent to being defeated in a frontal battle and losing all initiative.

During the recent "defense battle" of George III's mausoleum, the royal angels completely exposed this weakness.

Secondly, the authority that Angel can use also includes "man-made disasters", which is the opposite of "natural disasters" and is a power manifested in individuals. She guessed that this came from another adjacent channel, namely the influence of "hunters".

This authority gives her a power similar to "conquering". Even if people just hear the name or think of the specific honorific name, they will feel panic and submission from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, the premise is that the other party can associate the name with the "Disaster" witch, and Angel is willing to show this terrifying power.

Not only that, all of her attacks, whether physical attacks with weapons, black flames, curses, or even the cutting of invisible threads, have the power to kill the target instantly even if it only touches a part of the body, unless one has the ability to isolate oneself from such effects, or uses a stand to dodge before the attack.

Angel speculated that this should be an upgraded version of the "harvest" ability of the hunter path, or a manifestation of authority. The difference between witches in charge of natural disasters and hunters in charge of man-made disasters becomes more obvious when they are promoted to a high sequence and become angels.

In addition, in terms of mastering the "mirror world", the Sequence 2 "Disaster" Witch has almost reached the pinnacle. Not only can she use the mirror to temporarily copy some objects with extraordinary power or even a small amount of divinity, but she can also flip an entire city and hide it in the mirror space, so that it will not be spied on or harmed by any conventional means.

On the other hand, if Angel wants to destroy a city, he can simply pull it into the mirror world and easily damage and destroy it.

This is also effective against Beyonder enemies. In the "immortal" stage, Angel once pulled Hvin Rambis next to him into the mirror world, creating a situation where the opponent could neither fight nor escape. After being promoted to Sequence 2, this ability was strengthened again. It was no longer limited to a certain range around him, but could be extended to a very long distance with the help of the mirror channel. If the opponent's position and sequence were lower than Angel, they would not even feel this change and would still think they were in the real world, and died unclearly.

Even if their status is the same, or even higher than Angel's, and they can immediately sense being pulled into the mirror world, they will still fall into an extremely unfavorable combat environment. After all, the mirror world is different from the spiritual world and reality, and the direction and distance change irregularly. Only witches who are familiar with this world can exert their maximum combat effectiveness.

What's more, Angel also has the killer weapon "City of Disaster". As long as he pulls the enemy into the mirror world, this power belonging to the source will be able to affect it, forming a personal suppression, and even causing it to be polluted unknowingly and suffer from multiple forces such as "betrayal" and "disaster".

Unlike most powers that can only bully the weak and have little effect on enemies with higher status, the higher the target sequence, the greater the impact of the "source quality"!
Hearing this, Klein interrupted Angel's narration and said with a frown:

"Is this the reason why Amon's clone 'surrendered'?"

He thought of using "teleportation" to try to escape with himself, but he fell into a trap and was sent into the mirror world. Then his attitude immediately changed, and he raised his hands in surrender to Amon's clone.

"This should be related to the power of the City of Disaster. As the King of Angels in the Third Epoch, He has a good understanding of the power of the Source. Perhaps in order to avoid being contaminated and then affected by the return of Beyonder Characteristics, He immediately stopped fighting and even gave up resistance and faced death."

Angel replied thoughtfully.

It seems that the power of "Source Essence" is a "poison" that cannot be avoided by Beyonders from unrelated paths. Therefore, only Zaratul, who is also a fortune teller, and Amon from an adjacent path are coveting the "Source Castle" that I own. Even gods from other paths will not be tempted by it...

Many of the questions that Klein had buried deep in his heart were answered at this moment. He understood why the Emperor had said in his diary, "Once the extraordinary path is determined, your allies and enemies are also roughly determined."

According to Arrodes, there are nine "source essences" in total, so which paths do the other seven source essences correspond to? If we figure this out, we may be able to completely solve the problem of "who is the enemy and who is the friend".

At this moment, Klein's thirst for knowledge as an "ancient scholar" began to stir.

Fortunately, he had not forgotten the current focus. He quickly returned to reality from his fantasy and signaled Angel to continue introducing the changes in her abilities.

"In addition to the changes in my abilities mentioned earlier, my original power as a 'witch' has also been strengthened. 'Petrification' can affect the target remotely without contact, and the curse can affect more people through blood and even mystical connections. The mirror substitute has truly acquired divinity and can directly receive my power and radiate it to a wider range. The concept of 'immortality' has been materialized, and it serves as a backup for the 'man in the mirror'. If one survives, all survive...

"Most importantly, I can display the complete form of a mythical creature at any time without worrying about affecting my own state or causing loss of control... This is related to the fact that I have stabilized my own state with the help of my own anchor."

As Angel spoke, he tangled his long blond hair into a finger-thick snake. A thin crack appeared at the end of the snake, and it seemed as if there was a single blue eye inside that was looking out. In an instant, Klein felt a cold sweat on his body, as if he was being stared at by some creature that posed a fatal threat to him. His spirit also kept sending out warnings, and the side of his body facing Angel gradually lost consciousness, as if it had been "petrified."

He knew that this was a manifestation of being affected by the divine qualities emanating from the mythical creature.

In other words, he has become a Sequence 3 and possesses his own divinity, which allows him to resist certain influences. If a Sequence 5 is targeted by this poisonous snake, he will be turned into real stone in an instant and die completely. Even if he escapes by chance, he will most likely lose control and go crazy.

This is just one snake hair. When Angel was fighting with Amon's clone, she could only maintain her human form. Her long hair turned into tentacle-like snake hair. That was the witch's true fighting posture... Meteorites and earthquakes sounded like they had little effect on the angel, but Amon's clone, who was also an angel, could only dodge them. This shows how strong her frontal combat ability is...

Klein sighed, then thought of another thing and asked:
“After you returned to this time from ‘over there’, how did you know that I was trapped on an uninhabited island and find the exact location? Was it with the help of Mr. Fool?”

As a fool, he must figure this out.

“No, the ‘Man in the Mirror’ reminded me to try not to have any connection with myself, so I didn’t ask Mr. Fool to help me get in touch with my other self… After I was promoted to Sequence 2, the response to the ‘Historical Pore Image’ could reach the world, so I re-locked the location where you summoned my historical image…”

Angel answered, and then murmured:
"No wonder the person in the mirror said that I had to be promoted to the 'Disaster' witch before I could hope to save you... It seems that she knows everything."

Knowing everything... Klein felt nervous for no reason and asked with a frown:

"Didn't she say that she would tell you everything after she was promoted to an angel? Amon also said something similar just now. What exactly are those 'truths'?"

"I plan to ask her about this after this matter is over," Angel shook his head and replied, "We are not completely out of danger yet. After Amon's clone died and his Beyonder characteristics returned, your secret should have been exposed to Him. Maybe more clones will attack us next."

"He also lured little Zaratul away, with bad intentions but good intentions, allowing me to avoid a possible ambush... But this Archangel 'Fortune Teller' is very patient and will definitely wait for the next opportunity."

Klein also added that he suddenly felt that he was surrounded by figures wearing monocles. A blond priest was squatting in the corner, and translucent tentacles squeezed out from behind the doors and windows, trying to grab him.

They always say that too many lice won't itch, but I still feel that there are many dangers. Sigh, if Amon wasn't obviously deceiving me, I really want to hand over the "Source Castle" and my fate to Him, and be at ease as a Sequence 3... Klein muttered, and discussed the next course of action with Angel. They decided to go to Saint Samuel Church first, report to the goddess, and pray for Her help.

At the very least, he had to ensure his own safety in Backlund!

"But the goddess didn't respond this time. I suspect... She really has some problems because of the uniqueness of the God of Death," Angel said a little frustrated. "Also, Mr. Fool rarely responded to my prayers."

That’s because The Fool and The World were captured by Adam... Klein could hardly hold back his expression and decided to respond in the gray fog space later to avoid Angel worrying.

Gray fog... Could it be that Adam is hiding in it again?

Thinking of this, Klein, who was about to leave, shuddered.

----

Watching Klein's figure become transparent and "teleport" away, Angel did not continue to stay in the rental house in the East District, but directly entered the familiar yet unfamiliar world in the mirror.

He said he was familiar with it because Angel had traveled to Backlund's mirror world countless times and even remembered where each mirror passage led to.

It is said to be strange because the originally deep and dim world in the mirror became as bright as the real world in her eyes. The fog in the distance dissipated on its own under her gaze, revealing a spider-web-like passage in the distance. This means that she can use these passages to transfer her substitute and power to farther directions. It is also a manifestation of the greatly enhanced control of the "Disaster" witch over this world independent of reality and the spiritual world.

Moreover, the "City of Disaster", which was originally hidden in the gray fog below the entire world and connected only by an iron-black and bright red passage, has extended more passages, like a giant net reaching to the normal mirror world above.

Now, without going through a special passage, Angel can step into her "City of Disaster" with just a thought.

With a thought, the spider-web-like passage in front of her eyes disappeared, and was replaced by the broken sky above her head, the erupting volcano in the distance, and the lonely street under her feet.

In front of her stood a figure whose face and clothing were exactly the same as hers.

Hey, that’s not right, why is there another person next to him?

Angel was startled and looked towards his "person in the mirror".

There stood a man who was nearly two meters tall, with red hair and a vicious look on his face.
