The enemy on the left was the first to summon his life ring, and the spirit runes covered by the mist flickered, and a mirror appeared in his hand, swallowing the imprisoned light. The enemy on the right only had five rings, and he had just been promoted to the fifth ring. He tried to shatter the silver halo with some relic in his hand, but it only drove away the halo briefly.
The five halos were deflected like boomerangs, but the magic with automatic tracking ability locked him again. When they flew again, the relic could not be used temporarily, and the five halos were put into his neck and limbs one by one, causing him to fall to the ground and unable to move.
The brief fight in the fog was silent. The companion of the fallen man, the man on Xia De's left, cursed in a low voice, which Xia De didn't hear clearly, as if complaining about his companion's incompetence. He threw away the illusory water mirror in his hand, waved his left hand with an exaggerated amplitude, and a group of buzzing black mosquitoes flew out from the circle drawn by his palm.
"Thaumatology - Plague Insects. Never let the swarm get close to you."
The pharmacist lady behind Shade reminded him, but when she tried to rummage through her bag to get the potion, she found that Shade had disappeared from the spot.
The well-informed sorceress raised her eyebrows, and her opinion of Shade became higher in her heart, while the man with the seven rings stood there alertly, holding his breath. His perception was confused by the white mist, so he didn't notice Shade appearing behind him at the first time. But when the scarlet dagger in Shade's hand pierced his body, his body shattered into lenses.
Behind those lenses, a huge floor-to-ceiling mirror appeared at some unknown time, reflecting Shade's current appearance. A man's voice came from behind the mirror, and the voice cooperated with the mirror to perform a magic that directly affected the soul:
"Show me your true... "
Peng!
The dancing staff shattered the mirror, and the silver arc of light from the staff neatly split the man's body in two. Although the Staff of Yggdrasil and the Night's Watch can both amplify magic, the amplification of the staff does not require learning or experimenting, just hold it and cast the spell.
As for the magic that the man had just used, it seemed to be somewhat similar to the power of the "Stone Mirror Demon-Goethe", but compared to that ancient evil demon, this seven-ring warlock was still far inferior.
Crack! There was another sound of a mirror breaking. The man who was split in half by Shade walked out of the air in a panic, with a clear line of blood on his face. He spat on the ground, then turned around and ran away. Shade wanted to chase him, but was stopped by the pharmacist:
"Don't chase anyone on this island. There's no need to take risks. Be cautious in everything you do here."
Xia De stopped, but still threw the lightning spear at the fleeing figure with his right hand. The lightning spear and the man's back disappeared in the fog, and Xia De didn't know whether he had hit the target.
"very nice."
The pharmacist praised again:
"Compared to the average level of a sixth-ring warlock, your combat ability is pretty good... if you are really a sixth-ring warlock."
In the battle just now, Xia De did not summon the life ring at all.
"I happen to be a ring sorcerer who is good at fighting, and I also have good weapons. Actually, my theoretical level is very poor."
Xia De said modestly, and threw a few more halos at the immobile five-ring warlock. After confirming that it was safe, he walked over and squatted down to search his pockets:
"Worthless spell materials, potions of unknown effects, hand-drawn island maps, oh, my wallet!"
There were Delarion currency and Carsenrick currency in the wallet, and Shade took them all out and put them in his pocket:
"Sure enough, I was right just now. There is another relic."
It was a red copper bracelet with a fine star pattern engraved on the outer surface and a sentence written in ancient language on the inner surface:
May my thoughts protect you, my love.
"An unknown relic."
Xia De muttered, and then signaled the sorceress behind him to come over for questioning. But the pharmacist shook her head, took out a glass tube half the size of her index finger, and threw it to Xia De from a distance:
"Feed it to him. This is truth serum. Also, do you have any magic to shake the mind or soul?"
Xia De nodded in surprise:
"some."
"Give him some. My potion will work better when he is in a depressed state."
So Xia De put on his soul crystal ring, and in order to prevent the other party from fainting, he moved his finger a little further away before flicking it lightly. The man who couldn't move suddenly widened his eyelids under the stimulation, and then he looked unwell.
Xia De crushed the top of the glass container, poured the potion into his mouth, and then tried to ask:
"Who are you?"
After waiting for a moment, the man said nothing, so the pharmacist behind Xia De coughed, and Xia De removed the halo from his neck.
"I'm Cornelius Stitch, the mirror..."
He obviously tried to resist, but the stalemate lasted less than five seconds before he couldn't help but say:
"A member of the Mirror Society."
"I thought your potion would make him say it all in one breath."
Shade said to the sorceress, who sneered:
"The effect of the potion will not change qualitatively due to the level of the person who configures it. I didn't expect to meet someone who didn't carry a complete set of potions. Otherwise, just one drop would be enough for us to ask everything."
She was quite confident in her potion, so Shade said:
"Then ask."
"Why does the Mirror Association arrange for you to go to the island?"
"Check the Edwards family's house again to see if there are any clues about the disaster."
"Isn't it the elixir of life?"
"The association wants to find out the cause of the fog on the island. The president thinks it may be related to some powerful space phenomenon, which is related to the... "
His head exploded in front of Shade and the pharmacist. Shade stood up and took a few steps back, while the sorceress sighed:
"Sure enough, the ring magicians of this illegal ring magic group all have this kind of method."
"The Mirror Association made big news in the Tobesk area last week. I didn't expect them to come to Green Lake again."
Xia De pretended to know nothing, and the pharmacist did not continue the topic:
"I wanted to ask about the origin of the map, the markings on the map are a bit too detailed... ... When we leave here, I will arrange for my people to investigate the Mirror Association... ... Oh, all the spoils belong to you, after all, you won. But you have to return the potion that can unconditionally use the low-level sublimation words to me. Even I find it difficult to prepare that potion. I can give you some gold pounds as compensation, but I won't take advantage of you."
"I won't take advantage of others for no reason."
Xia De threw the potion to her. Such a straightforward decision surprised the pharmacist:
"You are a rare ring sorcerer. If you were not..."
Xia De didn't hear clearly the last words she muttered.
The ring wizard of the Mirror Association was dead, and this kind of death would surely not give any more information through psychic communication. So the sorceress burned the body with a red sticky potion, and then signaled Shad to leave with her.
It was already 4:30 in the afternoon. Thinking about his date with Miss Carina in the evening and asking about the "Cat in the Bottle" potion, Shad had no plans to stay on the island for long.
He wanted to whisper and transform the Staff of Yggdrasil in his hand back into the form of a key, but he was suddenly startled and signaled the pharmacist not to leave, then turned around with her to look at the burning corpse.
Shade wasn't quite sure what the kerosene-like potion that the sorceress had was, but it was obvious that the potion shouldn't have the ability to make a burning corpse raise its arms.
"What's going on?"
The pharmacist was also confused:
"I don't know either. This is also my first time dealing with a corpse on this island. Can't we burn corpses or kill people here?"
"I thought you knew everything about this island."
While the two were talking, the body burning in the fire had already sat up straight as if it had come back to life. Moreover, the burning fire did not continue to damage the body itself, but instead seemed to have become a part of the body.
At the same time, "she" beside him whispered to Shade that some invisible force was entering the corpse from outside the material world through the unstable space. And the external manifestation was that another upper body was growing from the back of the corpse. The new upper body was lying behind the burnt upper body, and the intact face that was exactly the same as the corpse looked at Shade and the pharmacist with a weird smile.
Clearly, this thing has a mind of its own.
"Why do I always encounter this kind of thing recently?"
Xia De said softly in his heart.
He was not surprised at all at this time. After all, it was clearly written on the Twin Lovers Card that the disaster of the fusion of body and soul came from the Green Lake area. He had known that he would encounter something similar sooner or later.
Although this thing looks scary, and its power after "resurrection" is much stronger than the dead, it is completely incomparable to the neighbors that Shade saw in the past, the sixth era, in the apocalypse. In the timeline of the apocalypse, the neighbors that were identified as "strong" by the tree father were no longer monsters, they were simply evil things that had to be sealed in the subspace.
If Shade didn't have the space stabilization aura, he would probably have to be promoted to a higher level before he could fight against the "Twin Lovers".
"It's a monster I've never seen before, but it's very dangerous. Be careful."
The pharmacist at the side frowned. In the mist, her expression was quite solemn:
"The power of space, is this thing... Mr. Watson, I'm afraid this is not something you can deal with alone. Let me help you."
As soon as she finished speaking, the monster instantly disappeared into the fog.
