Chapter 45: The Power of Doom?

Weapons?

Angel, who was hiding outside the balcony, was stunned when he heard the words spoken by Arodus through the voice of "Dawn Dantès".

All she had in her hand was a fragment of a black mirror that she had just gotten from the dead "Man in the Mirror" Pierce Turner, not even a revolver or the Sword of Dawn.

Could it be that this fragment is it referring to?

Thinking of this, Angel walked directly into the bedroom, looked at Crane standing in the center of the room, and then looked at Dawn, who was sitting on the bed, with the same face but a completely different expression.

"This is the weapon you are talking about?"

Raising the shard in her hand, Angel asked.

After all, the current "Dwayne Dantès" is still bedridden due to illness, and the butler and servant may come back to see Bishop Elektra after sending him away, so Angel is not prepared to stay for long.

"Next, you need to answer me a question," a line of text reappeared on the mirror as she pondered, "are you willing to summon me and send me at any time within the Beckerland range by drawing this symbol?" ”

"This is the magical item I found on Mr. X, and other than that, only a £48 bill and a pipe, it always feels better than we all do...... What happened to you? ”

Of course, misfortune may have wronged him, as there was a "night watchman" who delivered some kind of misfortune to Mr. X, making the only magical item on his body an accomplice to his death.

At the end of the text, an expression of "fear" appears composed of various symbols.

"The task on my side has also been completed, the 'Man in the Mirror' Pierce died in my hands, and the characteristics were returned to the church, the murderer is undoubtedly the 'Aurora Society', even if you investigate deeply, at most you will find Mr. A and Ms. Despair, with a 'Witch Sect'."

Seeing her come in, Fake Dawn also bent over the bed and saluted, and then the figure disappeared, turning back into the small vanity mirror that Angel gave to Klein.

After a hand-shaking farewell expression made up of symbols, the small mirror surface regained its calm.

When she and Crane meet up at the cheap hotel in the East End, who has entered the book world to herd the dead Mr. X, whose spirit has not yet dissipated, the two of them hurry back to the North End, and hear the embarrassing words of Dawn disguised by Arodes outside the window, which has kept her from having a chance to ask about the harvest of the operation.

To her surprise, there were no words or images on the mirror.

This is a question she has been having since she came into contact with "2-111", and after "Orange Light" Hillarion pointed out her own particularity, this doubt reached its peak, and at this time she finally had the opportunity to ask.

Klein explained.

Open the door, isn't that the ability of the "master key"? It seems that the only use of Mr. X's spirit and extraordinary properties is to "travel...... Angel didn't know whether to feel joy or regret, so she could only chuckle and continue:

"Yes, honorable hostess, this is a fragment from a special 'mirror world', although it does not cause harm to ordinary people, but the pollution contained in it may cause me to be abnormal."

After the text disappeared completely, Angel asked the next question:

"Alodes, you've shown me and Klein an extraordinary amount of respect, and it's even some, well, flattery. I don't think it's trying to escape the shackles of the Church of Steam with our abilities, so what 'qualities' do you see in me? ”

Suddenly, the mirror in front of him, reflecting his disappointed expression, became illusory and blurry, and Angel's face emerged from it, clinging to his reflection.

The light flashed on the mirror, and words quickly jumped out.

"Dear hostess, may I leave for a while?" The Mechanical Heart's Extraordinaires are ready to use the seals to investigate the events that took place in the East Side this evening. ”

"I can only show some of the symbols, which are not actual scenes, but represent the 'authority' of that power."

Crane explained angrily and amusefully, feeling sorry for Mr. X in his heart.

"Thank you for your generosity, and humble Arodes looks forward to serving you next time."

But Angel didn't have much joy in her heart, and the problem of the "man in the mirror" didn't end, leaving a clue to Trier, and it was closely related to her peculiarities.

"Luck was not bad, I got the all-important 'Travel' ability, followed by the 'Open the Door' ability that can be obtained with only one Sequence 9."

There is no doubt that the sudden sluggishness of this Aurora Divine Envoy during the battle was due to the negative effect of "Blood Flower" accidentally triggered.

I hope that when I see Katarina, the Black Mirror shard doesn't prompt, otherwise it will be a horror story...... Angel muttered as Crane pulled out a gold ring encrusted with rubies from his pocket and handed it over.

A complex mixture of symbols, both stealthy and peeping, appears below.

It's no wonder that before he died, Pierce, the "Man in the Mirror", mentioned Trier, thinking that I, as a high-order witch, should be aware of the hidden powers there, and even related to "them", and should not be unfavorable to these people in the mirror who also originated there......

Isn't this the summoning symbol that Klein mentioned to me earlier? I didn't expect him to say that Arodes would "readily agree", and it was so refreshing...... Angel didn't know what to say, and after a moment he slowly replied:

"I do."

The two lamented Mr. X's bad luck and decided to use the ring on the "Blood General" Seigor who had died without thinking about it, and only obeyed the orders of the "Master of Secret Puppets", Angel was ready to leave.

When all is settled, perhaps ask Cesima the Sword of the Goddess if this contribution is worth lending the Antigonus family notes for Klein to peruse.

With a buzz, her mind suddenly went blank, and then she remembered the title of "mistress" that Arodes had just called very smoothly.

The text in the mirror continues to emerge:

Could it be that after the attention of Ulorius, the "serpent of mercury", he also gained some kind of "bad luck......

Seeing Angel caressing the full-length mirror in the bedroom, his figure quickly disappeared into it, Crane with undisguised disappointment on his face, he leaned closer to the mirror and reached out to caress the mirror, feeling that tonight's harvest was not so worthy of celebration.

Leave it on your body, and maybe one day some nobleman or wealthy merchant will sneak over and greet me in the unique way of "man in the mirror...... She sketched this kind of scene in her mind, and she couldn't help but see a black eye.

On the mirror, as when Ikanser, the deacon of the "Heart of the Machine" used "2-111", words appeared:

Klein introduces the origin of the ring and finds that Angel has just taken it and has fallen into a sluggish state.

You can't trigger a negative effect just after you get your hands on it...... He was a little dumbfounded, and was about to ask again, but when he saw Angel return to normal, his face was embarrassed, and he brought the ring close to his eyes, and observed it carefully, so he continued:

“…… It's called 'Blood Flower', and the information I got through divination is that it allows the wearer to master their own flesh and blood, and as long as they don't die directly, they can gradually heal from their injuries, and it also comes with some flesh magic. ”

In addition to the unexpected, the Aurora Sage who appeared reasonably, the black-armored knight, all the expected goals have been completed, and it can be regarded as a perfect operation.

"It randomly makes the wearer give up thinking, lose their minds, have no regularity, may only be once a day, may appear continuously."

Angel and Crane looked at each other, and they both thought of the name at the top of the sequence on the "witch" card:

Sounds like a "man-in-the-mirror radar", which they rely on to identify each other as "their own"?

But I don't think you're too scared of it, is it a reminder to watch out for this mirror shard, or to watch out for the contamination in it...... Angel pondered, holding the shard a little further away from the mirror Arodes.

There is no doubt that this "peculiarity" is the power of the assassin, or the power of the witch path......

Sequence 1, "Doomsday".

I'm afraid I'll have to find a time to go to Intis, and with my current "personality", it's not surprising to go back...... But before that, you'll have to ask Winza the black cat, or even talk to the "ageless" witch Caterina to see if they know what happened to Trier.

"So," said Angel, after a long time, looked away from the mirror, "what happened to the grazing?" ”

The words disappear, and the mirror appears as an apocalyptic scene, volcanoes, lava, floods, and shattered earth and crumbling sky.

After a moment's thought, Angel turned his gaze back to Arodes, waiting for the other party's question.

Then do the other special things in me, such as the inexplicable resurrection, the powerful spell made through blood, also come from the power at the top of the path?

And the same power appeared in Trier's underground in Intis?

Angel glanced at Klein and saw that he had no other questions to ask, nodded and said:

This is a clear reminder that we should be careful about the investigation of the three major churches...... But before I left, I only noticed the approach of the demigods of the night and the storm, but I didn't expect the Steam Church to also be dispatched, since the Great Smog, they are simply all soldiers, this is still the result of the Goddess Church in the secret obstruction, delaying their arrival time, otherwise I didn't wait for me to solve the "Man in the Mirror", I would have been blocked in the alley......

"However, you can stay with this mirror fragment, and if there are other 'mirror people' in the vicinity with the mirror fragment, it should react, which of course, means that the other party is likely to have discovered your presence as well."

She didn't have to look to know that there were words like "brilliant answers" in the mirror.

"I can't see through this layer of reality, it bears some resemblance to the power hidden beneath Trier, but what I know is that the closer you are to your master, the more important this power becomes.

"Yes."

"This fragment is only possessed by certain special 'Mirror Persons' and is related to the contamination of the Trier Underground in Intis, but the person involved is too high for me to see.

Angel nodded, and threw the mirror fragment into her "mirror space", she currently needs to hide her identity more than to discover other hidden "mirror people".

"Ahem, that sounds like the Rose Necklace, perhaps the extraordinary property of the Sequence 6 Bishop of the Rose," Angel replied with a slight stammer, "What about the negative effects?" ”

It wasn't until about 10 seconds later that Arodes cautiously replied:

Then, the real-world Klein felt a warm, soft touch on his cheeks and a chuckle in his ears.

Immediately, a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
