Ring of Fate

Chapter 748 Three Items (Please give me double monthly tickets on the second to last day)
After checking his physical condition and pondering for a while, Lumian slowly moved along the wall of the spacious corridor.

During this process, he almost emptied his mind. He didn't think or analyze. He was only concerned about whether he would be reflected by the silver full-length mirror at the end of the deep corridor.

Finally, Lumian followed his instinct and stopped.

He hoped to use the Beyonder Characteristics Aggregation Law and the "Life Hunter"'s sensitivity to fate to help himself find the room that was most "suitable" for him from among the starlight doors.

There might be high-level items from the "Hunter" path, or even the main material for the "Iron Knight" potion!
Looking at the translucent door beside him that was formed by the brilliant starlight, Lumian lowered his voice and asked in a low voice:
"Thermipoulos, do you think there will be great danger here?"

After what happened at the "School of Truth", Lumian became more defensive and vigilant towards this angel of fate, but this did not mean that he would never consult the other party. As long as he found the right occasion and the right prerequisites, Thermipolos could still provide effective advice.

Just like now, the "Magician" lady is outside, and Thermiporos has almost no hope of escaping the seal. His own death or mutation will only cause him to slide into a worse situation. In this case, he will most likely give some warning of the danger.

Lumian cannot see the changes in his own destiny, but Thermipolos can see his!
Thermipoulos remained silent and did not answer Lumian's question.

Lumian was not disappointed. He pressed his right palm, which still had the residual aura of the "Blood Emperor" in an activated state, on the handle of the Starlight Door in front of him.

He twisted his hand a little bit, as if to push open the door, waiting for Thermipolos to respond.

The Starlight Gate gradually opened without Thermopylae giving any warning.

“No reaction is also a reaction! This means that the danger in the room is something I can bear, or there is a high probability that I can get help…” Lumian calmly pushed open the starlight door and walked into the room dominated by darkness at the back.

Suddenly, a bright white and blue light lit up, and an iron-black straight sword burning with a terrifying flame chopped down towards his head.

Lumian, who had already prepared for any unexpected events, quickly activated the black mark on his right shoulder and flashed to the side of the room.

boom!
The straight black sword covered with blazing white and blue flames slashed heavily on the translucent starry ground, creating a deep crack.

Within the crack, part of the starlight melted, appearing like flowing magma.

With the help of flying sparks, Lumian saw who was attacking him.

It was an iron-black full-body suit of armor that was nearly two and a half meters tall. There was no fire under the visor of the armor, like the undead creatures' eyes. It was completely dark, as if no one was wearing it.

In a flash, the man in iron-black full body armor turned around, looked at Lumian, and once again raised the large straight sword covered with blazing white and blue flames.

Before that, Lumian's blue eyes had turned iron black.

He saw the weak spots of the half-giant full-body armor, the pale spots at the joints of the armor.

When the black straight sword came slashing with flames, Lumian used "Teleport" again and disappeared from the spot.

There was a bang, and white and blue flames flew everywhere, while Lumian's figure was outlined behind the iron-black full body armor.

He jumped up suddenly, and his right fist was burning with white flames.

The sound of clang echoed, and Lumian punched the connection between the helmet and the body armor of the iron-black full-body armor.

"Harvest"!
After a successful punch, Lumian immediately "teleported" away, avoiding a waist-swinging attack from a man in iron-black full-body armor who turned his body halfway.

In this way, he relied on the high mobility of "Teleport" to constantly appear behind the target, using "Harvest" to hit the same position, and he was never greedy, only completing one attack each time he flashed.

when!when!when!
After five consecutive "harvests", the iron-black full-body armor stood still.

The hideous cracks spread rapidly from the connection between its helmet and armor to all parts of its body, and soon covered its entire body.

Click!
The iron-black full-body armor completely cracked, and pieces of metal fragments hit the ground made of starlight one by one, making a sound like raindrops.

Then, the large straight sword covered with blazing white and blue flames fell to the ground.

"It has no intelligence and its movements are stiff. It's only stronger than Sequence 6 but weaker than Sequence 5. But the straight sword has very high attack power. If I were hit by it, I would definitely die on the spot or lose my limbs unless I used an animated shadow instead. This is because the opponent didn't hit the torso. Well, it is also very hard, harder than the 'Guardian' I encountered in the Dream Festival..." Lumian examined the state of the broken armor with the corner of his eye, and used the remaining firelight on the black straight sword to observe the entire room to prevent other accidents.

It was quite empty here, with only an altar-like stone platform, on which was placed a small transparent glass bottle, filled with a pale yellowish and reddish semi-solidified substance, with a thicker black wick inserted on the top.

“A candle with magical effects?” Lumian made a rough assessment. “I don’t know what it’s for…”

At this time, he was basically sure that there were no other accidents, and turned his attention back to the pile of fragments formed by the shattered iron-black full-body armor.

He found a strange piece of leather among the fragments.

The leather seemed to be half the size of a towel, with a white complexion and a delicate texture. Even just looking at it from a distance, Lumian felt that it was charming and should have grown on a beautiful woman.

"Human skin?" Lumian frowned slightly and walked over while muttering.

He did not immediately pick up the black straight sword whose flames had been mostly extinguished and the attractive white leather, but first took out a dagger from the "traveler's bag".

Using the dagger, Lumian picked out the leather and displayed it before his eyes.

The first thing that caught his eyes was a few black words in ancient Hermetic language:
"despair……

"Sequence 4..."

Suddenly, Lumian felt his breathing become heavy, his head felt a little dizzy, and his physical condition was visibly getting worse.

He quickly looked away, picked up the white and delicate leather with his dagger, and stuffed them together into the "traveler's bag".

His discomfort gradually subsided.

"The potion formula of the 'Witch of Despair'?" Lumian recalled what he had just seen and made a certain deduction. "And the leather on which the formula is written was directly peeled off from a certain 'Witch of Despair', so it is inherently special and dangerous? It is worthy of being a treasure left by the Tudor Dynasty. This kind of thing is..."

As his thoughts raced, Lumian's gaze shifted to the black straight sword, whose blazing white and blue flames were becoming increasingly dim and not as brilliant as before.

He hesitated for a moment and did not risk confirming the ability, effect and negative impact of this item right now. Instead, he took off the "Traveler's Bag", actively put the item in it, and placed it in a corner where there were no other objects around.

Using the same method, Lumian also put the strange candles in glass bottles into the "Traveler's Bag".

He planned to consult the "magician" lady about these items when he went out, instead of trying them on his own!

After making sure there was nothing else in the room, Lumian passed through the Starlight Gate and returned to the deep and spacious corridor.

He was about to continue to rely on the Beyonder Characteristics Aggregation Law and the Life Hunter's sensitivity to fate to choose the next room to explore, when he suddenly heard an ethereal voice that seemed to come from the horizon:

"The other rooms are too dangerous for you..."

This is the voice of Ms. Magic.

She and Mr. Hanged Man were indeed watching... Did that sentence mean that the exploration would end here for now? Lumian felt more reassured.

He thought for a few seconds and decided to do one more thing before leaving this strange space.

He walked slowly and bit by bit from the side towards the silver full-length mirror at the end of the corridor, keeping his mind highly focused the whole time, intending to turn around and leave as soon as he heard the "magician" lady's words of dissuasion.

Until he reached the side of the silver full-length mirror, the "magician" lady did not say anything to stop him.

Lumian took a deep breath and carefully moved his right palm toward the front of the silver full-length mirror.

He didn't know whether the silver full-length mirror would be triggered to behave abnormally again when only one palm was reflected.

As his hand moved slowly, Lumian's nerves remained tense.

Finally, he touched the surface of the mirror and felt the coldness that was both fragile and hard.

Immediately afterwards, Lumian activated the contract ability from "Bloody Jack", "Mirror Mark"!
He wanted to try whether he could still sense the mark left in this secret space after returning to the outside world.

The blood seeped from his palm into the mirror, forming an inverted image.

While waiting, Lumian suddenly had an idea:
"Did my experience just now cause any negative effects from the 'Mirror Mark' contract? This is indeed an abnormal incident and a strange danger related to the mirror..."

In the blink of an eye, Lumian left the "mirror mark".

After doing this, he began to walk back along the same path he came from, avoiding the areas that could be reflected by the silver full-length mirror, and walked step by step onto the wooden steps.

Soon, Lumian's eyes lit up and he saw the wall lamps and dim firelight on the walls on both sides of the cabin.

He "returned" to the Blue Avenger.

Arriving at the front of the deck, before Lumian could ask the Magician to take the three items out of the Traveler's Bag and do the corresponding "identification", he heard the holder of the Major Arcana say with a smile:

"As expected of a 'hunter' with a false angel status and the residual aura of Tudor, he immediately obtained three items closely related to 'hunters' and 'witches'.

"That straight sword is what you expected. It is made of the 'Iron Knight' extraordinary characteristic."
