Chapter 235: I Give Up, I Really Give Up
Merry Dim.
This was the mirror's name.
It had another name—
The Mirror Demon.
In the Empire's distant horror stories, there was an ancient nobleman named Merry Dim.
Known far and wide as a handsome man, Merry Dim had always sought to find a perfect partner worthy of him.
But after
Any living being before them was like an ant, frighteningly overwhelming.
The Mirror was no exception - it felt itself enveloped by crisis, its body trembling slightly.
This was one of the Mirror Demon's abilities.
Within its surface, it could reflect a person's soul.
Through what was hidden in the depths of the soul, it could glimpse what experiences the person before it had been through.
But when looking at Viktor, it was puzzled.
The person before it seemed to have no soul.
Or rather, his soul seemed to be wrapped by some strange power, making it impenetrable.
Only a single pupil flickered constantly beneath the darkness.
The black wings suddenly spread behind him, countless scattered black feathers echoing in the void.
It could not see through Viktor's soul, could not see Viktor's past experiences.
At this time, the three natural energies transformed into three differently colored mists, coiling around Viktor.
The horror like natural disasters instantly swept through the Mirror Demon's entire soul, making it tremble uncontrollably.
The Mirror Demon stared blankly at Viktor, doubt rising in its heart:
Was he really human?
The next second, a red light flashed from Viktor's fingertips.
Three magical arrays simultaneously climbed around his fingers.
The hexagram array flickered, terrifying magical power transformed into thread-like patterns, connecting between the three arrays.
Soon, waves of scorching qi burst forth, the terrible heat waves seeming able to burn everything to ashes.
The three arrays suddenly expanded, rotating at high speed above Viktor's head.
The red divine being stretched out its giant bird head, struggling to emerge from the array, tearing out a sharp cry toward the sky.
[Fourth-tier Magic: Roar of the Evil God]
Viktor raised the staff in his hand toward the towering divine being.
The terrifying high temperature swept through this space.
Reddish-yellow flames began to burst forth from the three arrays, clusters of flames seeming to have consciousness, slowly falling from the sky to the ground.
The scorching heat suddenly burst from the ground, transforming into fire birds, rising around the mirror's surface.
The slender tails carried red magma, completely merging with the clusters of flames.
Under the divine being's sharp roar, those fire birds completely guided the fireballs to smash heavily into the ground of the space.
The surging heat instantly engulfed the mirror.
The red flame energy like a long spear fiercely pierced toward the fragile and trembling mirror surface.
Bang!
The mirror surface completely unable to withstand this terrible attack, shattered in an instant.
This time, the surroundings no longer fell into void.
Along with the mirror-like shattering of the surroundings, the high temperature and scorching heat intensified once again.
Viktor raised his head, feeling the temperature around.
Under the sky, smoke carrying red sparks drifted, the mountain beneath covered in magma, gurgling and flowing.
Rocks continuously fell into the central gap of the mountain.
Splash! Splash!
Waves of magma along with the impact splashed dozens of feet high.
The scorching mountain body seemed able to melt any creature, the stuffy air suppressing everyone's hearts.
"I told you."
"You can't kill me!!!"
Along with an arrogant voice, a scorching storm suddenly whirled up in the air.
The magma under the flames seemed to boil, constantly trembling.
The next second, a giant sun-blocking body stood up from the center of the volcano.
On that crimson shell, terrible magma constantly dripped down.
Scalding qi burst forth as Guledon revealed its form from the volcano, letting out a terrifying roar toward the sky.
Viktor surveyed the surroundings.
This was the familiar Mount Vesuvius.
This was the Mirror Demon's second ability.
Through the mirror, the Mirror Demon could reflect Viktor's power and copy it.
And now, the surrounding volcanic magma and scorching waves were all created by the Mirror Demon copying the power of the Calamity.
Merry Dim now burst into laughter, his two purple eyes suddenly widening:
"Can you feel it? This power that comes from you!"
"I am the same as you!"
Viktor quietly looked at this fake Guledon, a slight smile appearing on his face.
The red energy around his body completely covered it, transforming into clusters of pure energy crystals.
Unfortunately, in his eyes.
This counterfeit was completely inferior to the original in terms of pressure.
Viktor's disdainful voice followed:
"Have you ever thought about how I got this power?"
Hearing this, the Mirror Demon suddenly paused.
It couldn't see through Viktor's soul and couldn't know Viktor's experiences, so naturally it didn't know how Viktor came to possess this terrifying power.
Even simply copying Viktor's power made the Mirror Demon feel an incomparable deterrence and strength.
But...
Viktor's displayed ease made it feel hesitation... and fear.
Viktor slowly raised the Uruste in his hand.
Red natural energy gathered at the top of the staff, like streams converging into the sea, constantly surging toward Viktor.
The next second, Viktor slowly spoke:
"Watch carefully."
"Let me teach you how to properly use this power."
As the words fell, the center of the magic array instantly burst forth with a dazzling red light.
The intense heat transformed into a fierce beast, completely swallowing everything into its belly.
The entire earth began to tremble, a violent pillar mixing flames and magma instantly broke through the world's crust, seeming to want to devour the entire gloomy sky.
The earth turned over a layer of soil, the flames roasted the air into smoke and dust.
Pillars of magma continuously gushed out, without exception terrifyingly extreme.
[Flame Break Wrath]
Those flames completely enveloped "Guledon's" body. In heaven and earth, only singular red remained.
"Guledon" widened its eyes.
In its vision, only that dazzling, blinding crimson remained, heavily surrounding it.
Within the crimson, Viktor's voice leisurely rang out:
"I'm curious."
"Why does no one like to use their strongest skill right from the start?"
As the words fell, white light shone forth from the magma, immersing everything.
Sound itself was torn apart, and the world fell into endless silence...
...
The white light flashed—
Lia slightly opened her eyes, feeling that unclear white light disappear from before her.
Her vision was somewhat blurry as she tried hard to sit up from the bed, but only felt dizziness coming from her brain.
What had happened?
She remembered she had gone to the mine.
Because the family's workers had dug up a mirror.
Lia raised her head, looking at the tall mirror beside her.
Had she... fainted?
That mirror must have been some kind of magical artifact.
Lia thought to herself as she dragged her body, struggling to sit up from the bed.
The next second, weakness instantly swept through her entire body.
Her head hurt terribly.
It felt as if there was a sharp tearing pain constantly echoing in her brain, like it was being forcefully stirred.
Then, a maid walked in carrying a basin of water.
Upon seeing Lia awake, she hurriedly put down the water basin.
"Family Head! You're finally awake!"
Lia was immediately confused.
"Family Head?"
A strange thought began to form in her mind.
Oh right, she was supposed to be the head of the Kravina family.
Lia felt a strange sadness,
At some point, she had become the only person in the family who still carried the "Kravina" surname.
So, she had the first inheritance right to "Kravina".
After her father's death, Lia naturally became the female lord of Kravina territory.
But... something felt strange.
There was some inexplicable feeling of being torn apart filling her mind.
Lia shook her head, then looked toward the maid:
"What happened during these days while I was unconscious?"
At this time, a black crow by the window shook its wings and flew away from the mansion window.
Only leaving behind a jet-black feather, symbolizing it had been there.
...
By now Lia was fully dressed,
She wore a black windbreaker, appearing in the backyard of Kravina territory.
The reason Lia wore such a strange windbreaker was because she inexplicably felt that.
As the family head, she must have such a windbreaker.
Although this thing was quite hot to wear.
Beside her followed a small white cat-girl.
Vanilla, Lia remembered her name.
This was a demi-human carefully raised by the Kravina family head, even the name was given by the Kravina family head.
Eh, strange?
Why did she refer to herself as "the Kravina family head"?
Lia couldn't understand.
However, during the time she was unconscious, all family business was handled by Vanilla.
She had done everything in perfect order.
Vanilla stood beside her, reporting in an orderly manner:
"Family Head, preparations are almost complete."
"The elves have sent notice, it won't be long before they arrive."
The elves would successively appear from that divine tree in the mansion's backyard.
Lia raised her head, looking at the huge divine tree before her eyes.
She didn't know either, where this big tree came from.
In her memory, there was no such big tree in the backyard.
It was as if it had appeared out of nowhere in the past few days.
Green light flickered in the air, and the divine tree's branches began to sway.
Before the divine tree, a spatial rift gradually widened.
A huge teleportation channel appeared before Lia.
Accompanied by waves of powerful natural energy coming toward them.
Lia knew the elves would soon emerge from it.
But at this moment, her body suddenly stumbled.
From behind, as if something had bumped into her.
She lost her balance and almost fell.
Lia stabilized herself again, then raised her head to look behind her.
It was a girl wearing a loose black robe.
Unlike Lia, she had actually fallen to the ground from the collision.
Lia recognized her and was surprised:
"Henie? What's wrong?"
Hearing Lia's voice, Henie's body suddenly trembled.
As if coming to a realization, she raised her head, glistening tears in the corners of her eyes, her large eyes becoming watery.
The sight was heartbreaking, filled with regret.
She made no extra movements, not even crying out, just raised her head and looked at Lia in a daze:
"I seem to have... lost something important,"
"Lost it completely."
