Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1177 The Source of the Curse
The city of Vantek, a mirror world isolated from the outside world.

As early as the "Pirate Conference", Angel had witnessed the impact of the "Bound God" Tolzna transmitting power through the air. At this time, Sua directly summoned the Angel King in the closed mirror world. Even if the latter only descended with part of his power, he could completely isolate this place from the spiritual world and reality with the authority of "seal" or "binding", making it impossible for Angel and Antigonus to use some of their abilities.

This includes taking objects from the mirror dimension, summoning the "Sword of Glory" whose main body is located in the "City of Dreams", and the two angels responding to most prayers from the outside world.

Fortunately, the sealed object 0-01 "Blood Flag of Salinger" was not affected due to its uniqueness, so Angel immediately summoned this blood-stained flag and inserted it directly into the center of the mirror image of the city of Vanltek formed in the mirror world. The colorless flames that suddenly appeared ignited Suea's arms that were inserted into the ground, causing them to burn violently.

The flames quickly spread up the arm and burned towards the "divine evil" whose main body had already fully revealed, like a giant dark tree with its roots deep into the ground.

At this moment, a roar filled with countless evil thoughts and desires rang in Angel's ears, causing her mind to go blank for a moment, and the action of directing the colorless flames to surround Sua also stopped.

Taking this opportunity, the huge eyeballs on the surface of the "divine evil" tree turned to different directions. The flames that were within their sight immediately shook, and then faded and disappeared.

After getting rid of these flames that seemed to be of little power but were terrifying, Suea extended more giant hands from the tree trunk and grabbed Angel, who was temporarily unable to move. But before these arms could fall on the lonely witch, a bright ray of sunlight burst out beside her, as if a sun appeared in the mirror world.

Hiss, hiss, black smoke came out of the side of Angel's skin that was close to the flame. The burning sensation made her sober up immediately. She subconsciously dodged backwards, but the giant hand did not hit her as expected. Instead, it twisted, deformed, and melted in the sunlight, like a candle close to the flame.

In the center of the light, Antigonus, with his cloak hood turned back and half of his long white hair fluttering, raised one hand high, holding a small golden statue in his palm. It was a handsome man in a long robe. He held a book in one hand and a sphere in the other. At this moment, the scorching sunlight was radiating from the sphere.

It was a statue of Osekus, the "Eternal Blazing Sun"... It should be a historical projection of a "0" level sealed object from the Fourth Epoch. Because the gods of the Fifth Epoch had replaced specific images with holy emblems, there would be no humanoid statues circulating... Angel glanced at it and immediately looked away to avoid being burned by the light.

However, Su'a, who was rushing towards them with his giant hands waving, was not so lucky. His trunk, with black "oil" flowing on its surface, emitted black smoke on the side facing the scorching sun. The corrupt, dark and filthy forces were exposed under the light that purified all evil and quickly melted away. The dancing giant hands were even broken at the roots and completely evaporated before they even hit the ground.

At this moment, the "Bound God" Tolzna, who was roaring silently in the air with his abdomen sometimes bulging and sometimes sunken, suddenly stopped struggling. His eyes slowly looked downwards, and the pain in his sight seemed to become real.

Silently, the purifying light emitted by Osekus returned to the inside of the sphere He was holding up.

They are all "bound".

The sunlight dissipated, and S'Eana's body, whose sticky liquid had evaporated a lot, reappeared. The number of giant hands covering the tree trunk had decreased compared to before, but they still covered the sky like a giant net.

But taking advantage of the opportunity just now, Angel has used the "Blood Flag of Salinger" to transform the puppets belonging to Antigonus who were brought into the mirror world below into soldier puppets with the power of saints. These ordinary people who were unfortunately cursed and turned into puppets are now wearing flame armor and holding flame weapons, which makes Antigonus, who has just dispersed the historical image of the "Othycus Dolls", blink his eyes.

He still remembered the unbearable memory of being imprisoned at the top of the "Country of Night" and being injured by the self-destruction of the self-sacrificing soldiers.

At this moment, a gentle voice came from his mind:

"Control those puppets to attack Suea's giant hand and try to cause as much damage as possible."

That was the instruction from Angel through the "connection".

Antigonus obeyed the order subconsciously, manipulating the threads of the secret puppet spirits, which on the surface still belonged to him but whose essence had been "shared", and let them go deep into the ground of Suea, constantly strengthening the mirror world to prevent the two from escaping and launching an attack by the giant hand.

At the same time, the plague spread by Angel also went through a short incubation period. The skull heads and thorny tongues on the surface of the giant hand shattered into a pool of mucus, or turned gray and were quickly petrified.

Only the huge eyeballs on the tree trunks were spared because they were covered with black "petroleum"-like liquid. They quickly aimed at the puppets below that were slashing at their other giant hands and cast curses again, trying to turn them into fat pigs or goats.

But after a burst of smoke, Suea was surprised to find that less than one-fifth of the puppets had become harmless animals and then died from a fatal curse. Most of the puppets in armor were still intact and had begun to destroy the "roots" that were buried deep underground and absorbed the power of this world to nourish themselves.

It was a "graft" of the "Attendant of Mysteries"... Sua, who had knowledge that did not belong to this planet in his mind, quickly found the crux of the problem and realized that he was not facing a "Miracle Worker" but a Sequence 1 Archangel.

"..."

He once again roared with desire, fear, and depravity, causing the marionettes who were pruning his feet to drop their weapons and roll on the ground, almost breaking free from the spiritual threads, causing Angel and Antigonus to go blank for a moment again.

This roar also carried a prayer to the "Bound God", allowing the Angel King, whose only image was floating in the air, to get closer to the mirror world.

Knowing that if they delayed any further, Tolzna might come directly, Angel's eyes quickly swept across the attacked giant hands of Suea, and then locked onto the huge trunk of the main body. His eyes turned into a deep purple mirror, taking it in.

The next second, the burning of the sun, the scorching of the flames, and the petrified destruction reappeared simultaneously on the shadow tree that penetrated deep into the ground below and reached the sky above, with countless giant hands swaying like branches.

The sticky liquid covering the surface of the tree trunk evaporated instantly, one eyeball after another was burned and exploded, and countless giant hands began to turn into stone from the roots, breaking and shattering.

Angel used the damage that Suea had suffered before to detonate the weakness of this "evil god" with a deformed body and a soul full of contradictions! With the help of the "Salinger Blood Flag", Angel's attack on the weakness can achieve twice the result with half the effort. If it weren't for the need to severely injure the opponent before the "bound god" descended, she could even accumulate some more damage and kill Suea's body at this time in one fell swoop.

But even so, He... As soon as this thought came into Angel's mind, all kinds of flames burst out of his body like Suea, his joints became stiff as if petrified, and his soft golden hair twisted and blackened in the sudden scorching sun.

Then, the body burned in the flames and shattered into pieces of mirror with a snap.

Angel's real body walked out from another location in the mirror world, followed closely by an inextinguishable transparent flame and sunlight that could evaporate even spirits, but they just missed her body and flew in another direction.

This is a miracle.

"Be careful of the curse. He deliberately took non-lethal damage and transferred it to you."

Antigonus's reminder came belatedly, echoing in Angel's mind.

"I know, but I didn't expect that even the mirror double couldn't escape the 'Source of the Curse'."

Glancing at the huge eyeball on the huge tree trunk that had transformed into her delicate face, Angel answered in "Connection".

She had already learned about this extraordinary ability from the information provided by Renette, and she also had the idea of ​​exchanging injuries for injuries. She did not expect that the "Bound One" was the real expert in curses, and she could not escape it even after cutting off the connection with the mirror substitute.

Fortunately, her goal was basically achieved. The giant tree-like body of the "God's Evil" had been severely damaged, but the "Bound God" had not yet descended here for some unknown reason. As long as the situation was stabilized, she and Antigonus would have a chance to kill this Sequence 1 archangel in the closed mirror world.

At this moment, she heard a faint prayer sound in her ears, as if it was separated by many obstacles.

----

"…the judge of disease and strife, the source of the power in the mirror…

"The 'Cursed King' Barranca has arrived here."

After briefly using prayer to inform the witch angel of what happened here, Sharon's body, which had transformed into a resentful spirit, disappeared again, using the reflection of puddles on the ground to observe the situation in the sky.

Her teacher, Renette Tinicole, has used "Yesterday's Reappearance" to return to the state of "ancient evil". The four heads that were originally held in her hands have merged into one and returned to the broken neck. Her body has expanded to the size of a castle. She looks like a rag doll in a Gothic dress, with blood-red eyes.

The one fighting against the rag doll is a shriveled, skinny but equally huge puppet. His withered face is expressionless, and his wrinkled skin is covered with evil and complex runes.

Even through the mirror formed by puddles, these runes continued to stimulate Sharon's desires, making it difficult for her to maintain the "moderation" she had adhered to for many years, and making her constantly think of the witch she had met half a month ago.

Fortunately, as a "puppet", Sharon quickly controlled the various thoughts in her mind and turned to track down the "silent disciple" Jax who was also hiding nearby. The latter was also unable to withstand the aftermath of the battle between the two mythical creatures, and had already turned into a resentful spirit, constantly jumping in the puddles. He dared not join the battle, nor did he dare to leave here before the "Cursed King".

He and Baranca both knew that Renette was just a spirit creature that had lost her body and did not possess the full strength of a Sequence 2. Her current state would not be able to last long. As long as they could drag on for this period of time, facing an "ancient evil", the two saints of the Temperance Faction would not even be able to escape.

With this mentality in mind, Jax's wrinkled face appeared on the bloodshot eyes of a dead rabbit. He quickly glanced around and jumped into another puddle, avoiding the flaming sword that arrived a step late.

While secretly cursing the "puppet" named Sharon and the powerful seal she had obtained from nowhere, he felt puzzled: since even he knew that dragging it out would be disadvantageous to the "Temperance Faction", didn't those traitors who were able to escape from Lord Sua and were not stupid know it?

We are waiting for the battle situation to become favorable, what are they waiting for?
As he looked up into the sky with the help of the reflection from the puddles, he saw two huge figures constantly entering the spirit world and jumping out from other locations. Their bodies were sometimes condensed and sometimes illusory. They roared at each other to offset each other's curses. They seemed to be evenly matched and it was difficult to tell the winner in a short time.

But as time went on, a hint of worry inevitably appeared on the bright face of the huge rag doll, and its movements became hesitant, as if it was hesitating whether to continue fighting.

No, His movements did become slower!
Under the gaze of the giant puppet Balanca and Sharon and Jax hiding in the puddle, the giant rag doll Renette shrank rapidly as if it was deflated, and returned to the size of a normal person. The head with blonde hair and bright red eyes also rolled down, split into four, and returned to the hands of this spiritual creature.

It’s time for “Yesterday Again.”

Jax was delighted, and wanted to rush over and deal with the woman who had beaten him to the ground outside Bayam, but his spirit issued a crazy warning.

The next second, the huge puppet floating in the sky was covered by invisible sword blades that continued like a rainstorm.
