Mystery: The Witch of Desire

Just then, countless mirrors gleaming with silver light suddenly appeared in the surrounding darkness.

In an instant, countless thick, long black hairs emerged from the surfaces of the mirrors, their ends curling into ferocious snake heads, lunging towards Señor.

Señor quickly abandoned his body, his soul escaping from his mouth and heading towards the distant passage shield.

However, Livre suddenly appeared at the end of the passageway.

With a few silk threads dancing in her hands, she instantly wove a dense, impenetrable net that enveloped Señor's invisible soul.

Sizzle! The net burst into fierce black flames, scorching Señor's spirit body, and a chilling shriek echoed between the countless mirrors.

Liviel grabbed the large web of spider silk with her hand, instantly pulling Senor into her grasp and refining him in a flash.

A vast spiritual force gathers within the spiderweb, capable of strangling Señor in an instant.

The next second, Señor's figure suddenly became illusory, dissipating from the last gap in the spider silk.

Damn it! So close!

Liviel exhaled, and all the mirror surfaces were now stained with gruesome, bloody images, projecting a twisted and filthy curse centered on Señor. Black hair swirled from the mirrors, coiling into sharp spears, and stabbed fiercely at Señor.

She wasn't worried that Señor would escape; the mirror world had been sealed off by her illusion magic, and if Señor wanted to escape, he would have to choose the right mirror from among hundreds and thousands of mirrors.

The probability of this is extremely low.

Liviel calmly organized another attack, intending to strangle Señor with a continuous barrage of black-haired stabs.

Señor also sensed the danger. He knew that if he didn't escape soon, he would die in the mirror world sooner or later.

He abandoned the passage ahead and looked at the dense array of mirrors on both sides.

He found a direction and pounced on it.

However, Livre's smile froze, because that mirror was indeed the correct mirror leading to the outside world!

She followed Señor's footsteps and rushed out of the mirror, landing on the floor of the Tree of Flesh.

Is Señor incredibly lucky? Does he possess some magical item that brings him good fortune?

If infused with spiritual power at its normal level, 'The Last Whisper' would only last for three shots at most... and enough spiritual power would still be needed to escape...

Livre frowned slightly and nimbly started running, as if to catch up with the other person.

At that moment, a cacophony of footsteps could be heard outside the captain's cabin.

Because Señor was known to abuse others in the captain's cabin and cause a great commotion, the crew was used to it and did not rush to his aid immediately.

But now, they finally realized something was wrong and surrounded the captain's cabin.

boom!

The door was kicked open, and several fast-running pirates rushed in!

Without hesitation, Señor pounced on the pirates and possessed them, taking their lives.

Several new ghostly figures emerged in the void, blocking Livia's path.

Without any hesitation, Livre infused a small amount of spiritual energy into 'The Last Whisper,' flicked the muzzle forward, and pulled the trigger. Golden bullets swept across the target area in a fan shape, instantly killing all the ghosts and enemies.

With the other hand, the writhing hunger transformed into the soul of the 'Gatekeeper,' and a foul aura spread throughout the space. The gates of the underworld emerged from the void, blocking the door to the captain's cabin.

The gates of the underworld opened rapidly, releasing a large amount of chilling energy that seemed to come from hell. Countless twisted arms reached out and grabbed at Señor, who was leaping around.

At the same time, Liviel's palms conjured up chaotic black flames that surrounded Señor's body.

Señor stopped and once again let out a shriek that could pierce human eardrums and harm spirits.

With a shriek, a ring of icy blue light rapidly expanded beneath his feet, covering the corpses, scattered furniture, and broken glass on the ground with a layer of white ice.

The clusters of black flames then hissed and extinguished completely in the frost after releasing a small amount of mist.

This is the first time the black flames have been completely engulfed!

Affected by the wailing of the vengeful spirit, Liviel's steps toward Señor were slowed by half a beat, and she stumbled slightly.

Then, she saw a phantom skull shrouded in black mist rushing towards her, carrying a heavy aura of death, as if it were a messenger sent by the underworld!

In that instant, Liviel had no time to dodge, but her left hand had already switched to 'Priest of Light', and a golden orb of light filled with a holy aura suddenly condensed in front of her.

"Purify!"

The power of the Priest of Light quickly devoured the illusory skull, and the remaining light waves spread toward Señor.

Señor immediately stepped aside and moved to a distance, then opened his mouth again and let out a shriek.

The roar, seemingly emanating from the depths of a spirit, caused Livia a sharp pain in her head and a burning sensation inside her nose, as if capillaries were rupturing. Her movements froze instantly.

However, having frequently suffered from Chick's delirious ramblings, Livril had developed a considerable resistance to such attacks, making this pause last only for a fleeting moment, something Señor could not know.

So Livre pretended not to recover so quickly, showing her weakness, waiting for the enemy to take the bait.

Seeing that the target was noticeably dazed due to the repeated shrieks of the vengeful spirits, Señor did not hesitate to deepen his aura.

He decided to take a gamble and quickly eliminate his opponent.

Señor's spirit materialized as a black thread that floated out and, with the help of reflection, appeared at the position of Livr's eyes. His figure quickly appeared, shrunk proportionally, and became exceptionally clear.

This doesn't seem like a reflection of the outside world; these two little figures seem to live within the pupils, directly possessing Livre!

Just as the possession by the vengeful spirit was nearly complete, Livre suddenly bent her back slightly, leaped up, and rushed towards the gate to the underworld.

At the same time, she calmly extended her left hand, and a purifying light emanated from her eyes.

"Purify!"

Señor's figure, wearing a tricorn hat, was forcibly brought to life, his expression slightly bewildered.

However, the Gates of the Underworld gave him no time to hesitate; countless twisted arms swiftly reached for Senor's body. Meanwhile, Liviel's right hand grasped the puppet.

Just as Señor was about to use the reflected object to jump away, his body suddenly stiffened, his joints became sluggish, and his figure was uncontrollably outlined, his movements were very stiff, and his attempt failed.

He was horrified to discover that several colorless threads had crawled up his body!

Livre switched her left hand back to the Interrogator's Soul, and two dazzling silver-white lightning bolts shot out from her beautiful eyes.

"The interrogator, a spiritual piercer!"

Under normal circumstances, Señor's physical body, which is a combination of spirit and flesh, would only be slightly affected, or even suffer a backlash. However, being controlled by the spiritual threads, he could only forcibly endure this invisible arrow targeting his spiritual body!

It felt as if a knife had pierced his mind, twisting it violently, and the pain spread throughout his body, causing him to briefly lose his senses.

When he regained consciousness, the control of the spiritual threads had intensified even further!

Señor's movements became sluggish and he was then subjected to wave after wave of "Dragon's Might" and "Mental Pierce" attacks.

Time flew by, and as Livia ran around Señor while manipulating the spiritual threads, she gradually achieved a state of initial control.

Three seconds, two seconds, one second!

Señor's thoughts suddenly went blank, and every part of his body felt as if it were covered in rust.

Livre had no more strength left, so she continued to deepen her control and moved about at a moderate pace, dodging Señor's possible counterattack.

No... I can't... continue... like this... Señor's thoughts flashed slowly, and a small, transparent ice crystal arrow condensed in front of him.

It was tinged with a dark green hue and shot towards Livre with a whoosh.

Having witnessed the opponent's slow-motion movements throughout, Liviel calmly raised her left hand, and a lush, verdant canopy burst forth from her palm, easily deflecting the ice crystal arrows.

Señor's face seemed to paler even more. After several seconds of thought, he slowly opened his mouth, attempting to let out a wailing scream.

Liviel, however, was prepared and preemptively raised 'The Last Whisper'.

boom!

A small number of shotgun pellets flew in an arc, hitting Señor in the mouth, knocking his head back, knocking out his teeth, and killing his scream in his throat.

As control deepened little by little, Señor's resistance was repeatedly thwarted, and even his madman-like outbursts that threatened to irrational him were interrupted. A sense of joy welled up in Livre's heart.

Just then, a shrill, piercing, and terrifying cry of a baby suddenly appeared and echoed in the room.

Livre's body was covered in goosebumps, and the 'Last Whisper' in her hand fell to the ground with a thud. Her brain felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and she briefly lost all sensation to everything, including the "spiritual thread." Señor's state of being manipulated was then released.

As soon as Señor landed, he rolled quickly, and then a huge explosion erupted from under the floor, blowing the ceiling of the captain's cabin away with a loud bang.

Liviel saw the gray sky above her head, and from the dark clouds, something seemed to be spying on her, emitting mournful cries like those of an infant.

Liviel didn't dare to be careless. She quickly picked up the 'Last Whisper' and pointed the dark muzzle at the back of the fleeing Señor.

She poured almost all her spirituality into it and pulled the trigger immediately!

The pale golden bullet, carrying powerful kinetic energy, left a ripple in its wake and struck Señor on the side of his neck.

Blood stained with a dark green splattered out, and the general lost half of his neck. He fell forward and immediately lost consciousness.

Just as Livre was about to launch another attack, the swirling dark clouds in the sky suddenly dimmed, and an arm reached out!

This arm was ten meters long, its surface was black and sticky, and it had strange protrusions, some of which were skulls, some were three-dimensional eyes, and some were tongues with sharp teeth. As soon as it appeared, the whole sea trembled.

All the seabirds plunged into the sea, all the marine creatures floated to the surface belly up, and all the pirates were either paralyzed on the ground or frantically tearing at themselves, covered in blood!

Liviel's sense of danger was extremely strong. She had felt this aura several times before, when she was sacrificing herself in Tingen, and when the Mother Tree of Desire granted her power on Short Tail Island.

Without a doubt, this was an angelic being. Liviel suspected that this was the divine child that Sharani had mentioned.

Whoosh! The giant hand's ferocious eyes cast a gaze that pierced directly into Livre's heart.

In an instant, Livre felt her whole body boiling, almost driving her crazy!

If this continues, I'll die...

Without hesitation, Livre quickly raised the sapphire ring and anchored it to the mirror that was returning to Vanterrick.

However, the teleportation failed. The time required to cross 1700 kilometers was too long. Under the shrill screams of infants emanating from that enormous arm, and in her state of being ravaged by desire, Livr found it difficult to concentrate her mind for such a long time.

Livre quickly changed her teleportation target: on the vast ocean, there were only two mirrors she 'recognized': one was the diamond mirror on the fourth ship of the Señor fleet; the other was the mirror in Tracy's bedroom, 550 kilometers away.

Even after being teleported to the fourth ship, they were still under the rule of that powerful angel in the sky, and the situation remained unchanged.

Right now, it seems the only option is to teleport to Tracy, who is closer.

Liviel raised her left hand and switched to the Priestess of Light, dispelling the swarms of vengeful spirits that had appeared alongside the giant hand.

Then, taking advantage of a chilling shriek from the sky, she ignored the stinging pain in her head, anchored herself to the mirror near Tracy, and immediately activated her mirror-traveling ability.

This time, the teleportation took less than half the time.

To Señor's astonishment, Livre's figure disintegrated into fragments and vanished from the spot.

Phew... I finally escaped.

Livre breathed a sigh of relief, but then frowned again.

The power of the Mother Tree of Desire within her still surged, subjecting her to unbearable torment.

She didn't bother to conceal herself and stepped directly across the mirror, only to fall flat on her face onto the wooden floor.

At the desk next to her, Tracy was lying on her side on the bench.

Elaine, meanwhile, was reading aloud a novel that was placed on the floor.

Livre struggled to her feet, and her appearance caused Tracy and Elaine to look up simultaneously, exclaiming in unison:

"It's you?"

Livre desperately wanted to subdue Tracy with a surprise attack. But the current situation no longer allowed her to do so.

She gritted her teeth and walked straight towards Tracy.

"Hey, what do you want?"

Tracy frowned, clearly sensing the abnormal aura emanating from Livre.

Livre said:

"Quickly use ritual magic to remove this abnormal status from me."

Upon hearing this, Tracy used ritual magic to help Livia resolve the abnormal condition.

……

Livre let out a deep breath, feeling refreshed.

Fortunately, the abnormal state was resolved, and I returned to normal.

Tracy, standing to the side, asked fiercely:

"What exactly are you here for?"
