Ring of Fate

Chapter 733 Struggle
Lumian hadn't thought through many details clearly, but in the battle, it was impossible to give him extra time to think. Being able to infer the possible situation within just one or two seconds when the "mirror substitute" took effect was something that only a "conspirator" could do. If it were Franka and others, they would be able to judge from Perle's words that she was the "supervisor" directly under Jebus, who avoided danger through "backroom deals" and was forced to deal with himself and others. There was no way for them to let their thoughts diverge and then retract.

At this moment, Lumian was annoyed that the remaining breath of the "Blood Emperor" was sealed by the death mark of the "Underworld Man". Otherwise, his best choice now would be to fully activate the mark on his right palm, allowing Alistair Tudor to "descend" to Trier again, attracting the angels of the "Eternal Sun" Church and the "God of Steam and Machinery" Church, and attracting the other powerful people hidden in this metropolis, forcing Perle to leave.

Without any hesitation, Lumian activated the black mark on his right shoulder.

He wanted to "teleport" directly out of here and to St. Vive Church.

Since Perle's goal is to capture me alive, we can draw a conclusion through simple reasoning:
She will definitely try her best to catch up with me, will not stay where she is, and will directly give up the request for "backroom deal"!

In that case, although Franka, Janna, and Anthony would face the transformed Punisher, they would no longer have to deal with a demigod, and their hope of survival would be significantly improved. For all the Middle-Sequence Beyonders, even if it was just a Sequence 4 Demigod, even if it was just a Beneficiary, it would make them feel despair from the bottom of their hearts.

Moreover, the two witches have "mirror substitutes", and Anthony also has one. They also have items such as the "Seven Stone Bracelet". As long as they are not watched by the demigod, it is entirely possible to exchange the substitutes for opportunities and escape to the church of the "Fool" at Lavinia Pier.

As the figure quickly faded, Lumian, with a clear mind, reached his left hand into his pocket and grabbed Mr. K's fingers.

This was because he was not sure whether Perle's words about capturing him alive were true or a lie, whether it was a reflection of the demigod's extreme relaxation when facing a Mid-Sequence Beyonder, or whether it was a habit developed by the brokers after repeated deceptions.

Therefore, he had to guard against the possibility of "teleportation" being interfered with, and make some preparations for the possibility that Perle did not track him but stayed to deal with Franka and others.

The preparation is:
Summon Mr. K!

Although Mr. K, as a "shepherd", cannot fight against a demigod, he is the messenger of the "Aurora Society" and can listen to the teachings of the "true creator" at any time. His arrival means that the gods he believes in will definitely cast their eyes on him, and there is a high probability that some wonderful changes that will be beneficial to himself and others will occur.

Even without the watchful eyes of the gods, the "apprentice" extraordinary person that Mr. K "herded" seemed to have the ability of a demigod, and should be able to fight against Perle for two or three seconds, creating a chance for Franka and others to escape.

As Lumian activated "Teleportation", Franka, who was forced to use "Mirror Stand", appeared in an empty corner of the quarry.

She was holding a makeup mirror and was determined to activate the "mirror button".

She already knew that Perle was the "supervisor" and wanted to escape from here through the "mirror world".

Once she hides in the "mirror world", she can also jump to the mirrors on Janna, Lumian and Anthony, stretch out her hands from inside, pull her companions into the mirror world, and go away together!
The glass-like "mirror buckle" lit up a dim light, but Franka remained where she was, and did not get into the makeup mirror in her hand.

This... Franca was stunned for a moment, then she had a guess.

If you fail to enter the mirror world without any other interference, it can only mean one thing:
The present is the world in the mirror!

Except for some extremely special mirror worlds, it is impossible to enter the mirror world again in the mirror world, and the jump can only be completed with the help of the mirror!

——The mirror world is divided into two categories. One is universal in the conventional sense, not the real world. It is a collection of "door" concepts and consists of dark and empty channels connecting all mirrors. This kind of mirror world can be found wherever there are mirrors and mirror surfaces, and there are no visible boundaries. The other type is special mirror worlds. They rely on the mirror world in the conventional sense and are formed with the help of certain pollution or corresponding abilities. Some are permanent, some are temporary, and their characteristics are that they are close to the real world and are projections of one side of the real world, but they all have their own limitations and some rules that belong to them alone.

The mirror world in Trier in the Quaternary Period belongs to the latter. It only contains the projection of the metropolis of Trier, does not involve other areas, and is divided into three layers.

Now it is also a special mirror world, but on a smaller scale. It is just a projection of the empty quarry, and it should have been created with the help of some ability.

As a senior "shadow merchant", Perle has had a long-term cooperative relationship with the "Man in the Mirror", so it is normal for him to trade items that can create a temporary special mirror world!

Thinking of the dark light that burst out from Moran Avini's mirror before Perle appeared, Franka became more and more certain of her speculation.

She was about to remind Lumian and the others, but she saw the punishment projection of the "Black Witch" Clarisse seize this opportunity to use a mirror to reflect herself.

Franka's pupils suddenly dilated and she activated the "Mirror Stand".

She quickly degenerated into a mirror, which then began to catch fire from the inside out.

Snapped!
The mirror fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

On the other side, Lumian's figure was outlined again in the original place.

His "teleport" failed.

This is indeed a special mirror world, and you must find the exit to leave.

Mr. K's finger had expanded and turned into a ball of flesh and blood, falling on Lumian's body, forming a bright red cloak that could cover his entire body.

With the sound of "puff", Lumian seemed to be shot by invisible sharp arrows, and hideous wounds appeared one after another on his body surface.

That is to say, he was protected by the cloak of flesh and blood transformed from Mr. K's fingers, otherwise he would have been forced to activate the shadow to bear these fatal injuries on his behalf.

Of course, he also had a "mirror double" that Janna made for him.

Overseer Perle was still standing next to the protruding rock deep in the quarry, smiling and saying to Lumian:
"Those who defy supervision and attempt to escape will be punished."

When Franka and Lumian's attempts failed one after another, Janna rolled over and threw out the fluorescent dust, whispered a spell, and made her figure disappear quickly, disappearing in front of the Punisher dressed as a clergyman of the "Eternal Sun" Church.

Gold began to roll around the Punisher, who was wearing a white robe inlaid with gold thread, and spread out layer by layer around him.

When the gold color reached a certain empty place, it suddenly encountered an obstacle, leaving a vague human figure with a light golden color.

Janna felt the warmth and courage was boosted, but her eyes reflected a pure and magnificent blazing beam of light.

Click!
The beam of light fell on her, turning her into a mirror and breaking into pieces.

Anthony found an opportunity and re-entered the "psychological invisibility" state, but the incarnation of the Trier police did not ignore him or disregard him, and seemed to be able to smell the scent of sin on him.

Two bolts of lightning flew out of the punisher's eyes and pierced Anthony's soul.

Anthony's eyes bulged and his mouth opened, but he was too weak to even scream and his whole body was frozen in place.

"Death!" The incarnation of the Trier police uttered an ancient Hermetic word.

He then clenched his right hand into a fist and rushed towards Anthony, leaving behind an afterimage.

boom!
The fist, combined with a strange power, was swung out in an unavoidable posture and hit Anthony on the head.

Crack, and Anthony shattered into countless, gleaming mirror fragments.

The figure of Franca wearing an assassin's suit was outlined again.

Faced with the pressure from the demigod, faced with the illusory, godless "Black Witch", faced with this closed special mirror world, she decisively pulled out something from the "traveler's bag".

It was a silver-white full body armor that was taller than her.

"Arrogant Armor"!
Franka placed the "Armor of Pride" directly in front of her, with her back facing the "Supervisor" Perle.

She felt that the core of the problem was this demigod, not the Punisher in the image of the "Black Witch". If the other party remained unaffected, then there would be another one after killing one Punisher, and she might even face direct "accusations".

Moreover, Franka noticed that Perle was always standing next to the protruding rock with a fixed entrance and exit to the mirror world and did not leave.

This made her suspect that the fixed entrance and exit to the mirror world that she had requested the "Original Witch" to create with the help of the spillover pollution from Trier in the Quaternary Period not only allowed her and others to directly enter and exit the mirror world in the conventional sense without relying on special traits and abilities, but was also the entrance and exit to this special mirror world.

After all, it is a gift from the true God!

As soon as the "Arrogant Armor"'s feet stood firmly on the ground, he suddenly turned around and cast his invisible gaze towards the "Supervisor" Perle.

Franka quickly jumped to the side and continued to roll to avoid facing the back of the "Arrogant Armor".

Ding Ding Deng!
A man in silver-white full body armor strode madly towards the "Overseer" Perle, with a giant sword of light condensed in his hand.

…………

Inside the dark and eerie church without any holy symbols of gods.

A pea instantly grew and turned into countless thick green vines, turning the area into a paradise for plants and a magical forest.

They separated the revived hanging corpses in different places, preventing them from getting close to the "Hermit" himself.

The "Judgment", who had been silent all this time, stretched out his right palm, and a copper-gold-like luster shone in his eyes.

She said solemnly in ancient Hermetic language:
"Puppets are prohibited here!"

The animated corpses suddenly stopped moving, and the "magician" tore open the void in front of him, letting it be stained with bright starlight, forming a dreamy door.

Behind the door is the depths of the church, the painted female figure, and the "Loki" who has undergone a strange change.

"Loki" stretched his hand into the air and dragged out a figure.

The figure was a female with a plump figure. She was wearing a black dress and a jewel-encrusted golden crown on her head. She had long, slightly curly chestnut hair, blue eyes, a high nose bridge and slightly thin lips. She had a charming appearance and exuded a "witch"-like charm from the inside out.
