Chapter 143: The ♂ Hanging Man and the Emperor (Part 5)

As before, the beam cannon flew in mid-air at its original speed, but its target was not Polunarev, but Abdel.

"If it's a bullet that will bend...... That's it!" Polunarev cleverly gave the following command: take off the armor of the silver chariot, which greatly increases the speed of movement.

With a "bang", the white smoke of the explosion dissipated, and the silver chariot revealed its original posture, like a freed beast, brandishing a Western sword to forcibly distort the movement of the beam cannon.

"Oh, yes, using the speed of the silver chariot to keep up with the speed of my double, and forcibly changing the trajectory of the beam cannon, I thought you were just a pretty brainless girl. Horhus applauded as he explained Polunarev's approach.

"As long as you protect Abdel, you can be defeated, since Abdel's Magician Red is your weakness!"

In terms of Japanese military chess, Abdel is equivalent to our "general", Polunarev is a "chariot", and the enemy's Horhus is a "mine", and the upside-down man is also a "mine", there is such a rule in military chess, the "chariot" is stronger than the "soldier", but weaker than the "mine", the reason why Horhos has the confidence to threaten to kill Polunarev and Abdel is because she has already won the game.

"Don't think I'm the only one fighting~ You forgot there's another one. ”

Abdel's feet are a large mud pit, the rain accumulated in the mud puddle prints Abdel's appearance, with water as a reference plane, next to Abdel, a bandaged muscle monster appeared, and this muscle monster is J. Kyle's stand-in, the upside-down hanging man!

Abdel didn't know where the hanging man was, nor what kind of stand-in he was, so he was at his mercy, looking for opportunities to kill him in the process of being played.

But the upside-down man wouldn't give her a chance, only to see him draw his dagger and stab it Abdel's back, and blood immediately gushed out.

"Uhhhhhh

"Abdel! That guy's stand-in ability is a mirror! I've been in a similar situation before, and thanks to your dissuasion before, I'm able to think as usual, and finally know how to deal with him!" Polunarev was instantly full of confidence, although she couldn't think of a way to deal with Horhos, but it was enough for her to show off for the time being.

"A stand-in in the mirror......" Abdel left the puddle, she didn't want to make the same mistake again.

"Hey, don't ignore me~ Pay attention to your head. ”

Although the beam cannon was knocked off track by the silver chariot, it did not disappear and continued to pursue its designated target.

The upside-down man also took advantage of the puddles around him, moving as fast as a snake moving, and it can also be said that he followed him like a shadow.

"We have to divide the labor to deal with the enemy on both sides! Otherwise, we will be easily annihilated!"

Abdel activated his double, and his whole body was in flames, and the temperature around him suddenly rose.

"High・temperature・evaporation!"

Through the high temperature of the Magician's Red, the rain in the mud pit began to evaporate rapidly, turning into water vapor and rising into the sky.

"If water is a reflective object, it can be evaporated with temperature! Porunarev! Don't go near anything that can be mapped!"

"I get that! But, what should I do with that guy who shoots beams?"

Polunarev did the same, and once again distorted the ballistic trajectory of the beam cannon.

"Go into the village!

"Oops~ It looks like I've found a flaw, and it's very troublesome if I don't kill them. Horhus put away the gossip furnace and followed the direction of the village as well.

―――――――――― Dividing Line――――――――――

There are only a few inhabitants in the village, and most of the buildings are wooden houses, although some are equipped with windows.

The two of them came to a stop when they ran to a wooden house, and there was nothing around them that could reflect it, which alone reassured them.

"Damn...... Could it be that there is also a so-called mirror world in the mirror? You can freely shuttle through the mirror stand-in......" Polunarev couldn't figure out the ability of the hanging man.

"There can't be a mirror world, and it's not a fantasy novel or a fairy tale world. Abdel retorted.

"But, while in the restaurant, the guy attacked me in the mirror, and can also appear in the reflection of the water. ”

"After all, there is still no so-called world in the mirror, think about it, what happens to the mirror when it meets the light?"

Polunarev's face suddenly turned pale: "Could it be ......?"

"Yes, the so-called mirrors are nothing more than reflecting light, nothing more. ”

"Since there is a stand-in, it is possible to have a mirror world or something?"

"Nope. Abdel shook his head, "The mystery of the upside-down man must be related to this, when we arrived in this village, I already felt a faint stand-in energy, maybe the body of the upside-down man must be around here!"

"What? are you telling the truth!" Polunarev's face was filled with disbelief.

"Well, but first we have to deal with the emperor's affairs, once the two of them cooperate, from the perspective of the strong, they are indeed invincible, the emperor's bullet is used as a containment, and then the upside-down man moves to the mirror to catch the enemy off guard, or the upside-down man carries out a sneak attack when the enemy doesn't know where he is, and the enemy has to pay all his attention to him in order to get rid of the upside-down man attack, and then the emperor takes the opportunity to give the enemy an unguardable and double response, this strategy is very useful in team battles. ”

"That is, one person is responsible for attracting attention, and the other is attacking, right?" Porunarev probably understood what Abdel meant.

"The stand-in hangs the man upside down, reflecting the characteristics of the object, so that your eyes are clouded with a fog, so that you will mistakenly think that there is another world in the mirror, and the next time you face the enemy, you must calm down and think, and you can't be provoked, you know?"

"I ...... Got it. ”

Unbeknownst to Abdel, however, there seemed to be someone behind her, and the large mirror was shining squarely on her back.

A beam of light so small that it was invisible reflected in the window, and then reflected in the mirror, and the upside-down man appeared in front of the two of them again-

"Abdel! be careful!" Porunarev spotted the figure in the upside-down man's mirror.

"Have you already chased after you...... Using the principle of sunlight reflection, did you chase it through the window?"

"Hey, hey, hey......" The hanging man snickered for a moment, "Polunarev, it's been a long time." ”

"Who's so familiar with you!!Hurry up and let me slaughter you!" Polunarev shouted angrily.

"Your sister is so cute, I thought, as a sister, you should be more delicious than her, he!" The hanging man's almost treacherous laughter made Polunarev furious.

"You...... You !! thing."

"Polunarev! calm down!" Abdel saw that Polunaref's anger had reached the level of max, and hurriedly stopped her.

"How can I calm down! This guy didn't kill my sister enough! He still wants to molest me! I can't swallow this breath!"

The white sword light flashed through the flat mirror, the glass was stabbed to pieces, and the trivial glass shattered on the floor, embellishing the surrounding environment with a beautiful scene.

But within a few seconds, this beautiful scene was destroyed, and although the glass was reduced to shards, it did not stop the hanging man from moving in the slightest, and Polunarev was able to see carefully and clearly the fine lines in the man's dagger by relying on the stand-in's extraordinary eyesight.

"Can you still exist in a mirror! Even if the mirror on which you rely for your actions is destroyed, can you judge in the usual way! What a terrible stand-in!" Abdel explained.

"I see! The guy jumps from mirror to mirror, from an object that can be imaged, to another object that can be imaged, and he repeats this jumping process all the way to here! That is...... The true face of the hanged man is not a mirror!, but a light!" Polunarev cried out loudly, pointing to the mirror, her voice revealing an unconcealed excitement, as if she had seen that the enemy, who had intended to torture her from the beginning, had received his due retribution.

"Wait...... By this time, the guy named Horhus must have caught up, but why didn't you see her figure?" Abdel stepped out of the cabin, and the wind blowing on the flat ground lifted the sand and flew away on the ground, and the inexplicable silence seemed to inform her of some unknown danger.

Polunarev stomped on the shards of glass, a hint of sadness on her face's angry expression.

"Abdel, let's go, since you've just discovered J. Kyle's stand-in energy, I'll have to save this grudge until I meet him. ”
