The skin of the mirrored face under the mask is actually dark purple. On that face, only the middle area where the eyes, nose and mouth are has smooth human skin. From the side of the face, chin, and hairline outward, they are all covered with black snake scales.
"This is what your boss brought me." Mirror Face said, and took off the glove on his left hand. His palm has smooth skin like humans, although it is also dark purple... and the back of his hand is All black snake scales.
You can guess from his face and hands what kind of condition his body is in general.
The Blood Owl will never judge others based on their appearance. He may use vicious words to attack the opponent's various flaws, but that is just to disturb the opponent's emotions. In terms of thought, whether he is facing a strong man who looks like a monster or a young woman who looks fragile, the blood owl treats them equally. In his eyes, the danger level of an ability person has nothing to do with his appearance.
"What does this have to do with your strength?" Blood Owl asked the most critical question.
The mirrored face began to narrate unhurriedly: "My family has always circulated a story... No, it should be said that it is not a story, but an indelible curse." It turned out that he spoke in a normal voice, and there would be sounds from his throat from time to time. He himself could not hide the strange rustling sound, "One of my ancestors was inextricably linked to the treasure legend of the Knights Templar in the fourteenth century. It is said that he wanted to escape pursuit. Sha, once cooperated with an evil wizard and received some kind of gift from him, thus possessing extraordinary abilities.
But my ancestor knew that the true face of that power was a monster that could only be seen in terrifying nightmares. He was afraid that one day, this cursed power would give birth to monsters among his descendants. "
The mirror-faced man stopped talking and laughed in a low voice, which then turned into a loud laugh. The laughter probably contained more sadness and pain: "Look at me, Blood Owl. I was still a normal baby when I was born. , but after the age of twelve, it gradually became what it is now."
"So what? There are many mutants like you." Blood Owl replied.
"Mutants?" Mirror Face said loudly: "Hahahaha... That was the beginning of the 20th century. How could you explain to people at that time what a mutant is?!"
"So..." Compared with the mirror face, the blood owl seemed surprisingly calm at the moment.
"I hid in hiding, killed many people, and caused many others to die. No one who came close to me had a good end, whether they were well-intentioned or malicious. I lived a reclusive life for decades, until later The empire unified the world. They occupied all the places they could occupy and developed all the land they could develop. I also lost my place.
When I came to the world of the 21st century, I discovered that there are many people as special as me in the world. Later I learned that there were people with abilities similar to mine in ancient times, but people at that time had not seen so many science fiction movies and there were no places like the Internet to spread rumors.
In the past hundred years, I have experienced many things, and the turning point of everything was on that day... I met your boss, Tianyi.
He plotted against me and used me, just like he is using you and your companions now. After his game is over, I will have no value. At that time, his bad taste drove him to tell me the truth, Of course, that was the truth that I took the initiative to trade with him in exchange for. "
The blood owl continued: "I see... your family's curse is related to Tianyi, right?"
"It's not related, he should take full responsibility!" Mirror Face roared, took a breath, calmed down, and continued: "After his game ended, he thought I had been killed in the trap, but my life was worse than he imagined. It must be hard. From then on, my life had a goal. For the first time, I realized the meaning of living. That is to kill Tianyi, forever!
Hundreds of years of life are not in vain. I have too much time to learn, whether it is knowledge or killing skills. So when I set out to do something, I get results very quickly.
I made this costume that can shield people with abilities. In order to use my abilities in actual combat, I made this mask. I was ready for any revenge. But Tianyi was silent for a long time, leaving me unable to find him. Until last year, he once again stood on the stage of history, and the world, as expected, ushered in another chaotic era. "
The blood owl said: "Very good, you have a very good reason to kill him, but I don't know what this has to do with your strength?"
"Haha... of course." Mirror Face said: "The 'gift' your boss gave my ancestors back then was really extravagant. According to family legend, the true face of this cursed power is a black giant snake. I have investigated it, That seems to be a very powerful evil god. And... I only noticed something recently." He waved his hand casually, and a few drops of black liquid scattered on the ground. The concrete floor was corroded by these liquids. Black smoke came out, "You have seen my ability before. It belongs to the 'space-time guidance' category and can control the image in the mirror. But after I got the fragments of the 'eternal core', I inadvertently understood 'Dark Water Tribe'... maybe that's what they call it. In short, after I gained some knowledge about them, I suddenly discovered that I am different from any ability user in the world. I possess far more than just one ability."
The blood owl is thinking about several things at the same time in his mind. First, Tianyi is really not a human being. We can guess one or two things from his 'crimes', but at this moment, the guy in front of him said such an exaggeration as that of the fourteenth century. In that year, the "non-human" aspect must have been gone that day; secondly, if this guy didn't lie and could really use a variety of abilities to fight, then his strength would have to be re-evaluated; thirdly, Terms like "Eternal Core" and "Dark Water Tribe" can actually be uttered by him, who has no organizational background. It shows that he has indeed comprehended the knowledge in the fragments. This matter is probably the most important thing to pay attention to. .
Mirror Face's narration continues: "When I learned the knowledge... no... I should say the truth, I finally understood that I am not a monster, but the chosen one! My family has experienced so many generations of In the inheritance, there has never been an example like mine. They are all like ordinary people, they only have a lifespan of a few decades and die in a hurry. Some people have not even awakened their abilities, and there is no precedent for mastering two abilities at the same time. "His dark purple face suddenly changed to an arrogant and excited look: "But I... have all the power of the Black Snake! Even the eternal core cannot record every power of the Black Snake, because all frontal The civilizations that had encountered the Black Snake were all destroyed without exception. The Darkwater Tribe escaped by hiding under the guidance of a certain 'narrator'.
However, just these known powers are deadly enough. I tried to use every power recorded in my core, and that feeling... was like the instinct that had been dormant in my body for many years was awakened. When every ability was awakened, my physical and mental realm improved. Soon, I reached the level of a fierce-level ability user, and the use of energy became so simple. The boundaries that I once regarded as unreachable turned out to be easily surpassed. "
"According to tradition, as the strongest user of an ability, of course, I am probably the only one in history. I can name this ability, and I call it - Chaos." Mirror Face put on the mask again: " Among humans, there will never be anyone with stronger abilities than me... and you are no exception." He also put on his gloves and said, "Now you should understand, Blood Owl, you are born with the same abilities as me. Compared with my perfect ability, even you have no chance of winning in front of me after awakening."
The blood owl took a deep breath and was silent for about five seconds: "You really make me sick."
"What did you say… "
"I almost vomited." The blood owl frowned and looked at the mirror with a compassionate look: "Maybe I should share with you what my life was like before I was twelve years old, but I I no longer bother to waste words on people like you.
Let's face the reality, you are a weakling with limited talents. After being played by Tianyi, you became angry and angry. Later, you blamed all the misfortunes in your teenage years on others. Your hatred is worthless in my opinion. , your life goal is a joke.
Tianyi's only mistake was that he didn't eradicate the problem back then. If it were me, after taking advantage of someone like you, I would definitely check to see if he was dead to avoid future troubles. "
"You're looking for death!" Mirror Face shouted loudly, and his body turned into a shadow. The speed was no slower than that of the Blood Owl.
Mirror Face didn't want to show his true power. If he had killed Lei Huo and Dixter just now, the Freedom Frontline would naturally know that he did it. Then it would be difficult for him to keep a low profile in the world in the future. Once everyone around the world knows Knowing that Mirror Face is a top expert, he may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
But now he was facing a blood owl, and this guy's words and actions were really intolerable. Jing Mian decided to risk it all and simply kill this powerful enemy here to avoid future troubles.
It was too late, but soon, Mirror Face's hand was already on the blood owl's head. Although the blood owl also grabbed the opponent's wrist at the same time, this was completely different from the sneak attack with the dagger just now. One is touched, the other is not touched. If he didn't wear gloves on his mirrored face, he could immediately use the black liquid oozing from his palms to corrode the blood owl's head.
A burst of black energy suddenly exploded in the blood owl's hand. He squeezed it hard and crushed Mirror Face's wrist to pieces. His entire right hand was twisted and turned back, and bones came from under the long black glove. and the sound of broken flesh and blood mixed together.
However, the mirror face was the same as that of Xue Xiao, as if he didn't know what the pain was. Without stopping, he raised his left hand again and punched Xue Owl like lightning. His left hand was actually faster, so fast that Xue Owl couldn't help it. You don't need to use both hands to block the continuous thrusts of this hand, so that you can easily defend against it.
Mirror Face's goal has been achieved. He just wanted the Blood Owl to let go of his broken right hand. With a proud smile under the mask, he suddenly flew into the sky and stayed at a height of more than ten meters. This height was still hidden in the building. He was surrounded so that he wouldn't be seen by people from afar, but the blood owl couldn't reach him.
"It can actually fly..." The blood owl has not yet recovered from the continuous attacks with his left hand just now. In fact, he just lacks mental preparation and does not dare to be too aggressive in the face of the opponent's sudden increase in speed. If the mirror face Repeating his old tricks, Blood Owl has no problem catching those jabs with one hand. That kind of punching method determines that while the speed increases, the power will definitely decrease.
Seeing the opponent flying into the air to distance himself, the blood owl slashed out two hand knives without thinking. This is the instinct of fighting. He made the right choice immediately without thinking at all.
If Mirror Face makes any subsequent killing moves after flying into the sky, this tentative attack can slightly delay him for a few seconds. Even if not, these two impacts can test Mirror Face's movement speed in the air.
Of course, there is another worst-case scenario, which is that these two attacks are not enough to force the mirror face to make any evasive actions, which will be more troublesome, and almost sentence all the blood owl's mid-to-long-range moves to death. Because the power of these two hand knives is exactly the balance between the blood owl's speed and strength under normal conditions. If Mirror Face doesn't even have to dodge, then as long as he continues to remain in the air during the battle, all the blood owl's subsequent Remote attacks are meaningless. If you increase your speed, he will ignore it. If you increase your strength, he can easily dodge.
The mirror face lived up to expectations. After making some arrogant remarks just now, he, floating in the air, just snorted coldly in response to the impact of the blood owl's two swords.
Two invisible blades of energy, like blades, hit Mirror Face's shoulders. He remained indifferent, his body in the air as steady as a mountain. On the contrary, the outer wall of the building behind him was torn open by two ferocious cracks in the aftermath of the attack.
"You are indeed one of the opponents I least want to meet." As the mirrored face spoke, his right forearm, which had been completely crushed and was hanging on the elbow, suddenly twitched on its own. Under the black glove , as if something alive was squirming.
The blood owl knew that this was probably an ability to repair and regenerate himself, and he was silently counting the time for recovery...
It took about eight seconds for the mirror-faced right hand to stop trembling weirdly, and the fingers straightened out in the glove. Then, he clenched his fist tightly. This was obviously the first action he would make after the limb recovered.
Jing Mian continued what he just said: "It's too dangerous to fight with you up close. I'm afraid no one in this world can escape unscathed. But I don't have to do this. It's very unwise to choose your strongest and best way to fight you. Yes, hum... Maybe only an impulsive and ignorant person like Lei Huo would make such a choice." As he spoke, he stepped back some distance: "I am the most powerful person in the world, with physical ability, control power, and mental ability. Strength, resilience... In terms of overall strength, espers who only know one ability can't compare with me!
Only the most 'comprehensive' person can be invincible. I can choose the fighting method that is most beneficial to me and kill you with twice the result with half the effort, but you don't have much choice... This is the difference between us. "
The blood owl said nothing. He was highly concentrated and analyzed the opponent's situation. So far, the abilities that Mirror Face has shown are: sealing one's movements with the image in the mirror, emitting black corrosive poison from the body, flying, and limb rebirth.
The first ability is easy to break. In terms of the strength of energy confrontation at a certain moment, Blood Owl has an advantage. As long as he uses an energy burst to break free from the clamp of the image in the mirror in an instant, and then move slightly , this ability can be released.
The second ability, currently, I don't plan to use it. It may be difficult to use or impractical. Anyway, it doesn't look like he will take off his clothes and pounce on him.
As for flying, it’s very troublesome. If the first ability is control and the second is offense, then flying is the best defense. When fighting against most ability users, this is a very powerful ability, and Blood Owl is The type who is relatively restrained by long-range ability users. When he first fought against Paper Man on the beach in Venice, he almost got killed because he underestimated his opponent.
The regeneration of the last limb is very noteworthy. Will this repair ability consume his physical strength? The continuous thrusts of his left hand were to gain some space for the recovery of his right hand. Does repairing a limb require a certain level of concentration? Or can’t it be touched by external forces while it’s being repaired? Also... limbs can be regenerated, can vital organs be regenerated? The key is the heart and brain. Whether these two parts can be reborn is very different. One is Piccolo level and the other is Cell level.
"Haha... let me show you something interesting. This is what you don't have... the long-distance killing ability." After the mirror-like face changed its broken voice, the masculine and vigorous boy was sandwiched between those who were making strange sounds. The voice is definitely impressive and creepy...
He still only took off one glove and rolled up his sleeves. Sure enough, the inner side of his entire arm was covered with purple skin and the outer side was covered with snake scales. The activation of this move is the same as his other abilities, and does not require much preparation time. In two seconds, countless holes were opened on his arm, which were human mouths.
The blood owl saw this and thought to himself: He can activate every ability very quickly. Generally, only mutants can do it, and ability users need some preparation time. In other words, he can activate every ability at the same time. A ferocious mutant who possesses at least five abilities and can use them freely. An opponent like this... hum... still has nothing to fear.
At this time, the extra mouths on the mirror-faced arms began to spit out things, and what was spit out were actually fragments of flesh, blood, internal organs, and bone fragments... Those things fell to the ground, making an indescribable sound. There was a stench of vaginal discharge and some black smoke.
Gradually, these disgusting corpses piled up more and more, forming like a hill. They were larger than Mirror Face's own body, and were almost as big as a small car.
"Your ability is simply like a hodgepodge of collective vomit from some large carnivore." The blood owl stood calmly and taunted.
Anyway, if you attack from a distance now, the opponent will ignore it. If you get closer, the mirror will definitely fly high into the sky. If you pursue it further, the opponent will be able to fly freely, but you have no focus in the sky, so your speed will change. as a disadvantage.
Therefore, the blood owl simply calmly waited for the opponent to use all his moves. He was very interested in how many abilities Mirror Face had now. dt
