Chapter 115: Burn away all uncleanness
Michael Curvin turned his head, and what he saw was in stark contrast to the calm-looking passers-by around him.
The chaotic subway station, the bullets flying everywhere, the splashed rubble and dust, the innocent passers-by who fell to the ground, except for the silence, the picture in front of them is exactly the scene they were in before.
"What is this?"
"Mirror space. โ
Michael Curwen stretched out his hand again, and he touched the glass-like thing again, this time his hand was not sucked, let alone 'pulled' over, he used a little force, and found that his hand could not continue to move forward at all, as if it was blocked by real glass.
"What's that?"
He heard Ethan's explanation, but he had no idea what mirrorspace was. Michael Curwen's IQ is decent, and he has understood that he has been involved in some magical incident, and the young man next to him should have no ill will towards him - except for the sudden pumping of his own blood with an unknown tool.
"You can think of it as a parallel space that is the same as this world, but does not interfere with each other. Ethan briefly explained the theory of mirror space, and he explained it in as many words as possible that ordinary people could understand: "It's like the world in a mirror." โ
Michael Cowen understood, what he didn't understand was why he encountered this kind of thing? Maybe there are really all kinds of magical powers in this world, but he has lived for more than 20 or 30 years, and he has never encountered it, even if it really exists, it should have nothing to do with his own life, why did he suddenly let himself encounter this kind of thing today?
He didn't think it was a simple coincidence, and Ethan had reminded him more than once that those two men were coming for him.
"Why me?"
The two of them stood in this safe place, watching everything that happened in the mirror space, as if they were watching a movie full of presence, and this state quickly restored Michael Curvin's calm, and he began to want to know the truth of the matter.
"If you want to know the truth, come with me. โ
Ethan waved his hand lightly at the mirror space, and the smooth mirror suddenly became fragmented in the middle, and then Ethan didn't look at Michael Cowen, and went straight through the fragment and walked into the mirror.
Michael Curvin looked in front of him, then looked back at the subway that had stopped.
He is now faced with a choice.
Forward, he can understand what happened today, what kind of incident he was involved in, why did those two people find him, and there is no suspense, he will face countless unknown risks.
Backwards, he can hop on the subway and get away from here. Maybe trouble will come to him, but he can leave the city, and he probably won't encounter such a bizarre thing in the future.
After hesitating for a moment, he resolutely walked through the shattered mirror and followed Ethan into the mirrored space.
The sound of bullets and the wails of the wounded re-stimulated his nerves, and Michael had just reacted to what was going on, when a stray bullet hit the pillar next to him, and the splash of stones hit his cheeks in pain, and he fell to the ground involuntarily.
Michael, who had fallen, felt the part where he had been hit, found that there was no blood, and knew that he was not injured, and then he focused his eyes on a woman who had been shot and fell to the ground not far away.
He didn't know this person, but as a doctor, he instinctively rushed to help her, but he was about to get up when Ethan dragged him back.
"Don't worry, that woman isn't real, it's just an illusion I cast. โ
One of the reasons Ethan is willing to help Michael is that as a doctor, Michael is a good person, and he will help others when they are in danger, such a person is worth his effort.
"Illusion?"
Michael didn't quite understand what Ethan's words meant, but with a slight wave of Ethan's hand, everything in this mirror space returned to its original state, as if the tragic shootout had not happened at all.
The people who were lying on the ground and wailing were all gone, and only the two of them were left in the huge subway station, and the four men who were engaged in a fierce shootoutโone of them had fallen, so there were only three people left in the crossfire.
Now, Michael understands what the so-called illusion means. Everything in front of me was all fake, all illusions created by this stranger with magical and strange means.
"What is this? magic?"
"You're very eye-catching. โ
Ethan smiled and walked past Michael towards the few men who had stopped fighting.
The big black man and the white man raised their weapons and looked at Ethan with a wary face.
The two of them may not be very smart, but such a strange thing happened, the originally 'lively' subway station suddenly became so quiet and deserted, and even the damage caused during the previous battle was all restored to its original state, even if the brain was stupid, he knew that something was wrong.
At this time, a complete stranger came out like this, literally telling them that it was all because of this person.
"Who are you?"
Ethan looked at this big black man, in the previous shootout, this guy caused the most accidental injuries, and the two Uzi in his hands swept away regardless of it, maybe in the eyes of this werewolf, humans are no different from ants, and it doesn't matter what they hurt by mistake.
Even if someone gets in the way of dealing with vampires, they have to kill more to vent their anger.
"It's dirty, ugly, and disgusting. โ
No way, who made Ethan a man? If he was a werewolf, it would have been even more excessive. But he wasn't, so from the standpoint of humanity, he had already pronounced the death sentence for this guy.
The black man's reaction was very fast, of course, he may have been stimulated by Ethan's words, and he didn't even think much about raising his hand directly and pulling the trigger.
As a shuttle of bullets was fired, the accomplice behind the big man's side was directly swept into honeycomb coal.
At the moment when the big black man shot, Michael, who was standing behind Ethan, instinctively wanted to hold his head and squat to defend himself, and he was only halfway down when he found that Ethan, who was pointed at gunpoint, had nothing to do, but the companion standing behind the big black man was swept away by a bunch of bullets.
He realized that there was no danger to himself standing next to Ethan.
"That ...... It's magic, too?"
"It's not easy to hurt me in the mirror space I've created. โ
Kama Taj's mage seems to be particularly good at distorting space and matter, Ethan was not deeply researched by this kind of spell, but as he continued to study space-time energy, and obtained the cosmic cube in the Marvel Universe, he has a large or even almost endless amount of space energy that can be used for research, and it is difficult for Ethan's space spell attainment not to improve.
Among the spells he has mastered so far, what he has comprehended from the Cosmic Cube is the most suitable for the spells of the Kama Taj lineage, so it didn't take him much time to master the mirror space, and the degree of mastery is quite high.
He can throw anyone into a mirror space of his own creation without Loki even noticing, and he can twist and fold the composition of the space at will: you may see Ethan standing in front of you, but he is actually standing on your side or behind you. You reach forward, and your hand may come out from your side or from above.
Of course, these twists and folds are mana-intensive, and Ethan won't use them right away. On top of that, if the opponent is very strong, it is possible to break this spatial distortion - Diana may only need a heavy punch to break his spell.
Therefore, Ethan is far from invincible even in his own mirror space, but only against the werewolf vampires of this world...... At this time, he is invincible, there is no suspense about this.
Ethan did not stop his steps forward, and the big black man did not panic when he saw that the weapon in his hand was ineffective, but threw the weapon in his hand to the ground, and then began to transform into a werewolf.
"Tsk!"
To the surprise of this werewolf, his transformation had not yet been completed, and Ethan, who was still some distance away from him and was not walking fast, actually appeared next to him all of a sudden, and while making a disdainful sound in his mouth, he gently patted himself with his hand that exuded a pale yellow halo.
"Ah~!"
A miserable howl filled the entire space, and before Michael could react in the distance, the big man who was undergoing strange changes suddenly turned into a huge torch. The raging yellow flames on that man's body actually made him feel sacred, but with this terrible scream, Michael felt that everything in front of him was so weird.
Ethan looked at the humanoid torch burning next to him, the power of the flame of holy light was even stronger than he expected, it seems that although this kind of werewolf is a product of the mutation of the virus, but in the eyes of the holy light, this thing is still a dark and evil thing, and it must be purified, so under the extremely strong restraint effect, this werewolf was burned in the end and there was not even a soul left.
"Is it because this Light is based on the transformation of human beliefs?"
In human beliefs, werewolves are undoubtedly dark creatures, so it is normal to be restrained by their own light.
Of course, it may also be that this guy has done too much evil and has too many 'sins' in his body, and the Holy Light will have such a strong effect after perceiving this.
Either way, Ethan was very satisfied with his new 'mastery' power, and the success rate of eliminating all the vampires and werewolves in the city and luring Alexander Covenus out was several times higher.
