Ring of Fate

Chapter 823 "Walking into a Trap" (Thanks to Mr. O of the Aurora Club for rewarding the Silver Alliance again)
As Janna used the "Abyss Shackles" spell attached to the "Bloodthirsty Arrow", shadows and darkness came alive beside Nikila, who coughed again. Under the yellowish light of the gas wall lamp, they condensed into black chains, wrapping around this "Moss Ascetic Order" member in circles, binding him firmly in place, and even locking his mouth.

Nikila had a lot of combat experience, and he immediately formed a ball of slowly rotating star sand in the palm of his right hand.

The light from the wall lamp in the room suddenly became dim, just like the night outside.

In such darkness, bright stars emerged one after another. They were not densely packed, but there were quite a lot of them.

They cast one brilliant light after another, converging into a thick beam of light, illuminating the entire room and enveloping Nikila himself.

The black chain formed by the "Abyss Shackles" suddenly faded and disintegrated quickly like a shadow encountering sunlight, and Nikila also quickly dissolved in such a beam of light and shattered into countless glass fragments.

"Mirror Stand-in"!
Nikila relied on his own special abilities and attacked himself to get rid of the "Shackles of the Abyss" in the shortest time possible. As an extraordinary person on the path of "Mystery Peeper", many of his spells require incantations to cooperate. Once his mouth was sealed with chains, the abilities he could use were quite limited.

Jenna used this to confirm that Nikila was the "man in the mirror".

A thick black mist spread behind her, and a pair of illusory and huge bat wings grew out.

Then, the "Wings of Darkness" transformed into a group of unrealistic, palm-sized vampire bats, which flew through the door and walls and flew towards Nikila, who had just escaped from the "shackles of the abyss".

At the same time, Anthony interrupted his "psychological invisibility", came to the door, and kicked the wooden door open.

He held a black revolver with very complex parts and a mechanical beauty in both hands and aimed at Nikila.

"Winter is coming"!
Anthony is now preparing to use the "inevitable death" effect of this extraordinary weapon!
Of course, he doesn't really want to use it, because the opponent has a "mirror stand-in", and his body is relatively fragile. He may use his stand ability in advance when encountering any attack that can hit him. This will cause the bullet that will inevitably bring death to hit the stand-in mirror and fail to produce the expected effect.

Anthony's current purpose is to use the "wizards'" outstanding spiritual warning and eyes that can see secrets to make Nikila feel that his life is threatened, forcing him to use the mirror world to escape.

According to Franka, Nikila, who is most likely a "Peeper" of the "Astrologer" sequence 5 and suspected to be the "Man in the Mirror", must be able to sense the danger of the "Winter is Coming" revolver at the first moment, and then see that it is brewing a divine attack.

In order to more truly trigger the target's spiritual warning, Anthony needs to complete the psychological suggestion to himself in advance, which is a very simple thing for a "hypnotist".

Therefore, Anthony is really planning to shoot now, and is really preparing to use the "inevitable death" effect, but when his finger starts to pull the trigger, it will trigger the pre-set "psychological warning line", the corresponding suggestion will naturally be lifted, and he will shoot a bullet normally.

Just as Franca expected, the moment she saw the "Winter is Coming" revolver, Nikila's pure black eyes involuntarily showed a hint of deep purple, reflecting the smell of decay and corruption surrounding the weapon.

He suddenly felt like he was gradually dying. The itchiness in his throat became more and more intense, and his body became somewhat weak.

This was not the effect of "Winter is Coming" itself, but rather the change caused by the backlash of some kind of power after the "Secret Peeper" saw the "secret" of this extraordinary weapon. This was in perfect harmony with the pathogen that Franka had spread by extending her hand through the mirror, causing Nikila's condition to worsen.

Without bothering to think about anything else, Nikila immediately let a mirror stay in place instead of herself.

boom!
Anthony pulled the trigger and fired a yellow bullet that only had a disease effect. It and the group of vampire bats crashed into Nikila's body, making a crackling sound.

Nikila appeared in another corner of the room. He had no intention of counterattacking the enemy. The only thought in his mind was to escape from here as soon as possible.

One reason was that he didn't know if there were only two attackers, and the other was that the dangerousness of the gun made him extremely nervous.

Since I couldn't judge the situation clearly and I knew for sure that the enemy had a demigod-level weapon, the only option left was to escape!
Nikila immediately rushed to the nearest mirror and used the world in the mirror to escape from the battle.

Noticing his movements, Janna slowed down her attack, while Anthony dyed his eyes golden, and circles of whirlpools appeared that reached straight into his soul.

"Battle Hypnosis"!
This can forcibly hypnotize the enemy in battle, making him do all kinds of abnormal behaviors, but such behaviors cannot directly harm the hypnotized person and cannot be maintained for too long, and will soon lose its effect.

And Anthony just wanted Nikila to change the mirror and escape. Such an action would at most delay the other party's escape time but would not directly harm him!

Nikila was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that the mirror in front of him might hide a dangerous trap.

He immediately pulled out a scroll inlaid with gold foil from the hidden pocket on the inside of his black woolen coat and whispered a word in Hermetic language:
"sun!"

The scroll was instantly engulfed by golden flames, and a bright and dazzling sunlight burst out, turning all the vampire bats flying in the room into green smoke.

This seriously affected Janna and Anthony's vision, and their eyes were filled with the bright sunshine.

Nikila seized the opportunity, rolled over to the full-length mirror in the living room, and jumped in.

It took only two or three seconds from the time he was hypnotized to the time he escaped.

The sunlight quickly died down and Anthony nodded at Janna.

Jana immediately grabbed her companion's shoulders and activated the "Seven Stone Bracelet" worn on her left wrist.

One of the two diamonds suddenly burst out with a clear and bright light, enveloping the two people inside.

The next second, Janna and Anthony were "teleported" to the quarry cave that fixed the entrance and exit of the mirror world, and pressed their hands on the protruding rock.

…………

As soon as Nikila arrived at the empty and dark area behind the mirror, he started coughing uncontrollably.

Diseases that have already been contracted cannot be eliminated through "mirror doubles".

"Cough cough cough!" As Nikila coughed violently, he felt his body being tied up by layers of invisible silk threads.

The "witch's" silk? Nikila was shocked.

Just now, Janna had been deliberately using the power of the "Bloodthirsty Arrow" to attack the "Man in the Mirror" in order to hide her identity as a "witch" and prevent Nikila from thinking that she was attacked by the "witches".

In that case, he would highly suspect that there was a trap behind the mirror and give up the option of escaping through the mirror world, making Anthony's "combat hypnosis" ineffective!
As Nikila's pupils dilated, he reflexively condensed slowly rotating bright star sand in the palm of his right hand.

Before he could use the ability of "Astrologer" to destroy himself and the "witch" spider silk in this area, he felt some invisible silk threads gently teasing him, from his ears, face, chest, to the inner thighs, with seductive touches and tickles.

This made Nikila's blood boil instantly, and his thoughts sank to the bottom.

He was about to force himself to focus his mind and use his ability when he saw a figure emerging from the edge of the spider-web-like tunnel.

The figure was wearing a black robe with leather armor. The hood on his head was tilted to one side, revealing his heroic and beautiful eyebrows, eyes as clear and bright as lake water, and red lips that were moist and watery.

This indescribable beauty and soul-stirring charm made Nikila subconsciously hold her breath. She forgot to resist and to break free from her restraints.

The "charm" of the "Witch of Pain"!
The strong warning of danger made Nikila barely get rid of this addictive beauty. He gritted his teeth, endured the desire caused by his body being teased and enchanted, and was about to activate the vortex of star sand in his palm.

Franca continued to use "Charm", with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing a smile that surprised Nikila, while she stopped part of the spider silk from teasing the other party and changed her movements.

Changed to tickling!

"Hahaha, hahaha." Nikila's neck, armpits, waist and other sensitive parts were attacked at the same time. He couldn't control his laughter and tears came out of his eyes.

If his body had not been bound by layers of invisible spider silk, he would have retreated, twisted, and even fallen to the ground and rolled over.

In this state, it is difficult for Nikila to use any abilities.

Of course, his desire also subsided.

"I really am like a black widow spider now, methodically dealing with prey stuck in the spider web... When it reaches the stage of 'Witch of Pain', the prey is really bound by the spider web, and without the help of companions, it will be frequently affected by various factors and find it difficult to break free by its own strength... Unfortunately, this is ineffective against 'hunters', as flames can surge out of their bodies and burn the spider webs... I don't know when I can directly deliver true pleasure through spider silk..." Franka remained alert enough, looking at Nikila who was laughing crazily, and muttered in her heart.

Her current idea is very clear, which is to restrict the enemy, constantly interfere with his various efforts, and delay until his serious illness breaks out or he is completely charmed.

During this process, even if Nikila actively used the "mirror substitute", he would be limited by the distance, and his real body would still appear in the "witch" spider web covering the entire area, repeating his previous experience.

——In the past, Franka has turned this place into a "witch's" lair.

Being constantly tickled on one side and her desire being aroused on the other, Nikila was wandering up and down between hell and heaven, in extreme pain.

And that beautiful figure that seems to be forever untouchable seems to be the symbol of all hopes and beautiful dreams.

Nikila knew he couldn't go on like this, so he bit his tongue hard with all his determination to hold back his laughter.

The pain pierced his mind, briefly freeing him from all influences.

He suddenly clenched the ball of swirling star sand.

In the empty and dark area behind the mirror, bright stars lit up one after another.
