Chapter 256 The Giant Soldier and the Mirror Fragment
"Even after reading the data, I still feel a sense of Fear."

Only Miss Anat knew in advance how big the so-called "Ghost Statue" was, and Miss Bayas sighed the same as Shade.

"I thought it was only the size of a human, didn't expect it to be that big."

Shade expressed his thoughts, Miss Anat looked around, and further Explanation:
"The secret-keeper-level relic [Thousand-Eyes Ghost Statue No. 3765] actually has an unofficial name that is easier to remember, which is a nickname given by ancient alchemists."

"What's the name?"

"Giant Soldier."

Looking up towards the terrifyingly huge Thousand-Eyed Stone Statue, Shade twitched the corner of his mouth, fully understanding what was in front of him What is it:
"Well, if you had said the name earlier, I would have probably understood what it was."

Such a large open space seems to be for Ghost Statue to be able to Built for full combat. To be honest, if you didn't know in advance how to let this thing rest temporarily, I am afraid that even if the silver-eyed person plans to join them temporarily, the four of them together may not be able to beat this relic.

The huge space looked empty, but then the three of them saw some corpses of varying degrees of decay beside the wall. The freshest corpse among them probably only appeared this morning. The eyes of these corpses were all gouged out, and it should be the innocent people who [Mercury Blood] used to pass here and kill.

Carefully counted the corpses, a total of 36 bodies, which means that except for the people of the [Blood Spirit School] this morning, [Blood of Mercury] used this method to enter the ruins at least 11 times.

Miss Bayas prayed for the corpse in a low voice. Miss Anat continued to check the remaining empty space. Shade looked at the three freshest corpses and suddenly asked Miss Bayath:
"Do you mind if your companions use necromantic Mystic Art?"

This must be clear.

"What? Necronomicon? Is it the plague?"

The church girl warlock curiously asked.

"Of course not."

"That's okay."

She shrugged nonchalantly, and Shade took out the bone meal and sprinkled some on the corpse. But after chanting the mantra, nothing happened.

"Strange."

He tried again, but Mystic Art still didn't work. After briefly explaining the basic effect of [Soul Echo] to the two companions, Miss Anat believed that the silver-eyed person handled the corpse, making it impossible to obtain information from the corpse by means of psychics.

"Or there is something wrong with the ruin itself."

Miss Bayas also guessed, and Shade asked in a low voice:

"You said, [ [Blood of Mercury] Is it possible to discover the so-called 'evil' relics suppressed by this vanished sect?"

No one can give an answer, but they all understand that perhaps the remains The danger is not just the three blocking relics and the ring warlock.

Continue to prepare to move forward, but their trouble is not that they can't find their way, but that there are too many ways to leave the space where Ghost Statue is located. There are four walls in total, each with at least six stone gates. In the end, it was Shade who listened to the footsteps and cooperated with Miss Anat's divination to lock in the correct direction.

The next danger that may be encountered is the keeper-level relic [mirror behind], which directly damages the "other me" of the ring warlock. It had been decided during the Sunday banquet that Shade would deal with this relic. The two ladies did not ask him how to deal with it, nor did Shade ask the female voice in his heart how to deal with it.

【Believe me so much? I am honored. ]

She said said with a smile.

This time, Shade pushed open the stone gate, but behind the door is not a space for a mirror, extend the hand means to illuminate the front, it is a dark corridor wrapped in masonry, twenty steps away You can see the corner.

"Maybe the mirror is at the corner of the hallway, so I'm in the front."

He said, but got no answer from behind. Turning around, there was actually a wall behind him. There was no silhouette of the two ladies at all, let alone the huge Thousand-Eyed Ghost Statue.

Shade blinked and asked softly in his heart:

"Well are you still there?"

It took two seconds to get a reply:
【Fast forward. ]

Immediately throwing a fist, the sound of glass breaking after the fist smashed into the air in front of him almost made Shade think his hand would be injured. The space in front of him was centered on the point where the fist smashed, and a dense crack of radioactivity appeared, but it quickly recovered.

"Isn't the mirror used to hurt the 'other you'? How could it trap me? I thought, my job was to just look at the mirror, and then you put a hand out of my back , shattered the mirror with one punch."

He thought as he swung both fists at the same time to hit the air in front of him, but the crack recovery speed was much faster than Shade's punch. Although he has become a ring warlock, his physical fitness has become very strong, but he does not have the ability to wield sonic punches or even light punches.

[I cannot interfere with reality. ]

She repeated the words in his ear.

"Wait, I seem to be in trouble."

It seems that Shade's fist attacked this space, and bursts of black smoke flew from the depths of the passage. With a tearing sound in the air, they all rushed towards Shade's chest. But he didn't even need to fight back, the golden cracks on the surface of the body flashed past, and the black smoke was disappeared.

"Oh, no trouble."

He said dryly.

The attack just now was aimed at the soul, but the Divinity protects his soul.

"How to get out?"

[Find a solution, it shouldn't attack you, it's exposed. ]

Her murmured voice carried some pleasant feelings, probably in a good mood:
[You are in the mirror space, the mirror can't help you, but can only trap you temporarily. ]

"What am I going to do now?"

[Give yourself a punch. ]

If it wasn't for "she" still using that strange language that Shade has never heard a second time anywhere, he'd even think it was the mirror playing tricks on him.

"Are you sure?"

She chuckled, and the laughter proved it was her.

Shade took a breath and clenched his right fist, closing his eyes and slamming himself on the chin.

Accidentally didn't feel any pain, just like hitting the dough wrapped around the face.

The sound of glass breaking clearly appeared in my ears, I opened my eyes, and there was no passage in front of me. He pushed open the stone gate just now, and the door was facing the mirror.

Shade was standing in front of the mirror at this moment, right hand clenched fist high, and the big hole in the broken mirror was undoubtedly made by him. The pain of the bleeding fist came from the senses very slowly, and every piece of broken glass hanging in the frame reflected his current appearance.

"Shade?"

A tentative cry came from behind, Miss Anat's voice.

"I'm fine, the mirror is temporarily disabled."

The Secret Keeper-level relic [mirror behind] also has the "hard-to-break" feature that most relics have, and now it is broken Mirror, just make it temporarily ineffective. It will return to normal in a short time, but as long as there is a crack on the mirror surface, the attacking "other me" characteristic will not work.

The mirror itself will automatically move its direction when people are not looking at it, and face the direction that people may appear. That is to say, even if Shade moves the mirror to the wall at this time, the mirror will automatically point in another direction when they leave.

"No problem, the mirror doesn't work."

Shade repeats it again, relaxing and shaking his bleeding hand:

" Who can give me some water, I can't put my hand in the right pocket right now."

"Oh, why is it hurt so badly?"

Miss Bayas immediately crossed over The stone gate came over and directed the light ball to illuminate here. And Miss Anat went to check the mirror to see if there was anything other than the mirror behind the stone gate.

The scratched palm was healed with the water treated with [Full Food], and Shade curiously asked the two ladies what he had just done.

"You pushed open the door, walked in, and shattered the mirror with one punch."

Miss Bayas briefly described it, and was then asked by Shade to say more. More details:
"Is there anything unusual about me, such as?"

He hesitated and said softly:

"The illusory shadow appeared behind him, and the illusory shadow threw a fist at the mirror. ."

"What do you mean?"

Miss Beas asked suspiciously, as if she suspected that Shade was still affected by the mirror, so her head was a little confused.

She shook her head:

"Nothing out of the ordinary, detective, we didn't even have a reaction and you smashed the mirror with one punch. What just happened? Why didn't you kick it? ."

"Because I can't kick myself in the face until we go out and explain."

He shook his head, indicating that there is no time to chat here now.

His eyes looked towards the ground, the silver light on his fingertips illuminated the glass fragments on the ground, and the three people were reflected on the glass fragments. Among them, Shade and Miss Beas are very normal, and behind Miss Anat, Shade actually saw the transparent woman who looked very much like her, but was a little more mature.

With a blink of an eye, the transparent woman in the mirror fragment disappeared. Shade looked towards her in surprise. Standing in the silver moonlight, she was observing the female fortune-tellers around her. She was nothing unusual.

"Forget it, the current situation is not suitable to ask about this."

The mirror behind the stone gate is the third relic space they entered, the size and The space in front of a stone gate is about the same size. The silver rays of light at Shade's fingertips and the ball of light that Miss Beas called out were enough to illuminate the place.

I still haven't seen a living person, not even a dead person this time. Except for the mirror standing there, there are doors on each of the four walls, but this time there are no more carvings on the walls.

On the other hand, there is a line of ancient text on the metal frame of the mirror. After translating it into Delarion, the approximate meaning is:
【Beware of "another me". ]

None of the three ring warlocks commented on this line of words.
