Mystery: Good Witch

Chapter 1257 The Great Terror in the Mirror (Two in One)

"Tamara's Change Card" is a sealed item formed by the fusion of the extraordinary characteristics left behind by an apprentice Path Sequence 2 "Planeswalker" after his death and a diamond-studded card that He loved to play with most during His lifetime.

This card can float in the air by itself, and always points one side towards external enemies. Various characters, scenes and events will constantly change on this card, just like the "random events" in some tabletop games.

Events that appear on the front will affect the enemy closest to it.

On the contrary, the longer the free floating time in the air, the fixed safety pattern on the back of "Tamara's Change Card" will change to a certain extent, bringing different effects, which affect the holder himself.

In addition, the Card of Change can allow the holder to "flash" and ignore most seals and barriers, and impose "secret protection" against divination and prophecy on himself and the holder.

Because of this, the "Orange Witch" Talia who possessed it was chosen to sneak into the "City of Dreams" Patis to attack Elaine who was in the process of promotion.

Sensing that some fatal scene had appeared on the front of the Changing Card, Talia moved the card and deflected it to an angle, facing Elaine who was still taking the potion, so that the revealed scene would appear on her.

The next second, dark cracks appeared on Elaine's body, as if leading to the abyss inside. Her whole body was covered with scars, and her neck was cut in two. Her head with long red hair rolled silently to the ground.

But Talia did not feel the joy of completing the mission. Instead, she subconsciously rolled to the side with the floating Changing Card.

Black flames emerged from the void where she had just stood, followed by sharp ice spikes that grew from the ground.

The headless body of "Elaine" also broke into countless glass fragments, which were scattered all over the ground with a crash.

Mirror stand-in... Impossible, she couldn't do that during the promotion process... Talia's beautiful dark gray eyes narrowed slightly, and she controlled "Tamara's Change Card" to change the angle, so that the front image of the sky with lightning and thunder faced the center of the room.

Boom——

The sudden violent storm and lightning swept through the small room, revealing the outline of a figure hiding in the corner.

"Tracy!" The Orange Witch blurted out, then frowned, "Is it your mirror double? Where's Elaine Soren?"

Hit by lightning one after another, Tracy could only use the "magic wand substitute" to change her position to another angle that the ever-changing license plate could not reach. She disappeared again, and only an extremely firm voice hovered in the room:

“I already know what my heart wants.

"You won't find her."

Tsk... Talia clenched her teeth and changed the pattern on the front of the floating card in front of her again. A scorching midday sun appeared on the high ceiling of the room, and the light of millions of candles gathered together instantly illuminated Tracy's invisible figure.

"Don't be silly. How do you think we knew she was going to be promoted to 'Immortal'? It was your mother Katarina who told the grandmother!"

She provoked the other party with words and continued to use "Tamara's Changing Card" to get rid of Tracy in the shortest time possible, and then find Elaine Soren and kill her.

If it weren't for the city's strict laws, Talia would have dealt with the Witch of Despair herself, instead of using a seal that had autonomous behavior and was not considered a part of her.

But as time goes by, the pattern on the back of the card is also quietly changing, and it won't be long before she herself will have to bear the corresponding negative effects.

At this moment, Tracy, who was exposed by the strong sunlight, suddenly pounced on her, with the tip of the dagger condensed by black flames in her hand pointing directly at the slightly barren chest of the "Orange Witch", making the latter's eyelids jump. She didn't know whether she should use "Flash" to dodge at the risk of breaking the law.

But before the dagger could fall on her, dark golden ribbons quickly appeared around Tracy, binding her up, and the black flame dagger was also extinguished by the power of order.

"Hahaha……"

Talia smiled sarcastically. This situation was exactly what she had expected. She could use the Changing Cards to perform various attacks, but the opponent had no power to fight back.

She was about to turn the card to face Tracy and let her die from all kinds of magical effects, but suddenly she sensed a strong fluctuation in the "mirror world" in another room next to her, like ripples caused by a large creature falling into the sea.

It’s Elaine... No, could it be that she has been promoted successfully?

The "Orange Witch" didn't care about Tracy who was restricted by the laws of this city, and was about to use the Changing Card to flash into another room, but when she turned around, she found that the card that was floating in the air and emitting bright light a few seconds ago was gone.

The bright sunlight that enveloped the room also quietly disappeared and was absorbed into an old monocle with a brass rim and many scratches on the surface. The nervous expression on Tracy's face, who was tightly bound by a dark gold ribbon and whose perfect body curves were outlined by the bishop's robe, quickly faded.

The monocle, which had become dazzling, was worn in the right eye socket of a man in a tuxedo, while in his other hand he held an exquisite card with a constantly changing pattern on the surface.

"This card of yours is great, but it's mine from now on."

Geldruf Amon said with a smile.

----

In the dark and deep world in the mirror, Elaine felt that her petrified neck, wrists and shoulder joints began to loosen. Her tongue, mouth and stomach, which had been paralyzed by the potion that was a mixture of mud and stone, also regained consciousness and became burning with pain.

She opened her eyes and found herself drifting towards the depths of the mirror world where the "Man in the Mirror" was hiding.

It turns out that I have to see her one more time... Only when they are completely integrated together can the promotion ceremony be completed... Elaine thought about it and did not make any other moves, but let the power of the potion guide herself.

The last time she saw the other person, she went with Miss Angelica. That person also possessed the power of the witch "Despair" and looked exactly the same as she did when she was a "Reaper", but there was a lot of blood on her face. There was pain and resentment in her eyes. The "person in the mirror" was extremely resistant to cooperating with the original body. Finally, she reluctantly agreed to talk after being comforted by Angelica and was completely convinced by Elaine.

According to Angelica, the person in the mirror that every witch possesses is actually another self that is split when taking the potion. He or she follows the gender of the original body at the last moment before taking the medicine, but can become stronger along with the promotion of the original body. However, he or she will be restricted and constrained by the mirror world, which is equivalent to being shackled and unable to exert one's full strength.

Every time the original body uses the "mirror substitute", it is equivalent to making the person in the mirror experience a painful death and then split from the original body. Therefore, each person in the mirror is full of resentment towards the original body and hopes to replace it, or lock the original body in a dark mirror to let the other party experience similar feelings.

It was an eternal prison with no sunlight and no communication.

Thinking of this, Elaine also felt sorry for the person in her mirror. Fortunately, she had been the witch of "despair" for less than a year, and the pain the person in the mirror had not endured was not too much. Therefore, under the pressure of Miss Angelica and after Elaine's emotional and rational communication, the other party finally agreed to cooperate with the ceremony and be promoted, and at the same time end such a painful life.

After the fusion, the original body and the person in the mirror will be indistinguishable from each other, and only a phantom without real consciousness will remain in the mirror, unless the original body is willing to activate it, let it cooperate in combat or use it for resurrection.

According to Miss Angelica, if one chooses "enslavement" or "making the other person obsessed with oneself" in the ritual to meet the requirements for promotion, the "person in the mirror" will most likely not merge with oneself, but will continue to be locked in the depths of the mirror world as a substitute, constantly experiencing the process of death and splitting, wandering in the darkness, feeling the joys and sorrows of the original body, but without the opportunity to try it personally.

That's too pitiful...

Thoughts kept flashing through her mind, and Elaine's body slowly floated into a corner of the mirror world that no one would normally reach. Here, she saw the "person in the mirror" wearing the same dress as herself, with red hair and a cold expression. The latter seemed to have sensed the approach of the real body, and looked directly over here, sizing her up and down, and said coldly:
"I still think it would be better for me to be the main body and take the lead in the fusion process."

Seeing that Elaine was just looking at her quietly, her expression changed, and finally solidified into a faint smile:

“Forget it, it’s all the same. It’s fusion instead of other methods. Otherwise, I might let you experience what it’s like to be trapped in the mirror world.

"Who made me promise you last time?"

As she spoke, she took a few steps forward and came in front of Elaine. The two stood face to face, as if they were facing a mirror, looking at themselves in the mirror.

The Man in the Mirror sighed and continued:
"It's a good choice to follow Miss Angelica. She's too kind to be a witch, but not foolishly kind either. She can make the right decision at critical moments... and with the help of other high-ranking beings, we might be able to solve the 'Original Witch' this time. In this way, we can at least be angels...

"The revival of the family is now in your hands. The 'Immortal' witch seems to need a long time to digest. You can also consider switching to become a 'Weather Warlock'...

"Let Tracy be the immortal witch. She can also give birth to more children."

Unable to bear the nagging and blushing advice of the person in the mirror, Elaine stretched out her hands and hugged the person in her mirror. The latter also stopped talking and hugged her in return.

Both of them felt the same stiffness they had experienced after taking the potion. Their spirits floated up into the sky, exchanged positions, and then exchanged back. In front of them were faces that were either clean or stained with blood. For a moment, they felt like they had become people in the mirror, or had turned into their real selves.

In this dizzying change, the bodies of the two people underwent subtle changes. The face that was fixed in the "reaper" state, which was a little less charming and seductive, gradually turned in the direction of "despair", while the appearance of the original body gained a bit of neutral beauty.

In the end, the two faces were exactly the same.

Are they going to merge... Elaine suddenly realized something and looked up at the "person in the mirror" in spirit state. She found that the other person was also looking at her with a smile, and the bloodstains, hatred and resistance on his face had disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, Miss Angelica taught me that it would be best to reconcile with the person in the mirror, otherwise I might be too eager for quick success and take other measures... This thought suddenly popped up in her mind.

But just as the two bodies below were about to merge into one and the spirits of both sides began to fall, a huge shadow appeared at the edge of this mirror world. It had human limbs and parts, but was distorted beyond human form. It stayed quietly above the two spirits, watching them slowly fall towards their bodies.

When seeing the inhuman-like shadow, Elaine suddenly felt a huge sense of fear in her heart, as if she saw something that made her soul tremble. Then, a strong desire for destruction surged in her heart, wanting to spread disaster and indulge in pleasure.

It was the "great terror" that Miss Angelica had spoken of...and it really appeared!
Using her body's stiffness and petrified insensitivity, Elaine managed to recover from the state of extreme emotions. She looked at the floating spirit of her "man in the mirror" and was surprised to find that the other person's expression became distorted, sometimes painful, sometimes calm, as if he was turning into another person.

The phantom not far away watched all this, with anticipation in its invisible eyes, as if it had been waiting for this moment for a long time.

----

On the beach not far from the island where the "City of Dreams" is located, Angel looked at the lead-gray sky streaked by meteorites, the huge waves that kept rising and being suppressed, and felt the faint vibrations under his feet, his expression remained indifferent.

If only a few "disasters" and "immortal" witches carrying seals appeared, she wouldn't need to take action at all. She could win by relying on the angels guarding the city, cooperating with the "Hand of Order" and all the extraordinary power in the city.

So she is still waiting, waiting for the real target, the appearance of "Original Witch" Chick. If the other party does not move, she will not move either!

But even if he stood still, fragments of images from the magic mirror's divination kept appearing in Angel's flickering eyes.

There were the sapphire rings on the fingers of the "Gray Witch" and the "Blue Witch" that faintly flashed with light, there was the hesitant fighting style of the "White Saint" and the "Purple Witch" as if they were hesitant about something, there was the timely intervention of Amon's clone in the Church of St. Angelica, and there was the process of Elaine entering the mirror world and merging with her own "mirror man"...

Suddenly, a huge black shadow with a human shape and a very distorted shape appeared in her eyes, occupying all the images from the "mirror world".

She also saw the distorted expression of Elaine's reflection in the mirror, as if she was losing control.

Is this the "great terror" that Christmenna mentioned... Another "Chaos Witch" from the depths of the mirror world has come nearby, and is about to occupy Elaine's mirror person, and then merge with her to truly enter the real world?
Will the "Original Witch" Chike appear now... The "Witch Sect" under her obviously cannot stop all this in a short time...

As soon as Angel thought about it, he was about to notify his "man in the mirror" to rescue Elaine and adopt the long-planned plan to pull her into the fog of war outside the "City of Disaster" to prevent the erosion and replacement of the terrifying phantom.

But above the "City of Dreams", in the divided battlefield, the "Gray Witch" Judith, who was confronting the "Archon of Death" Mr. Azik, suddenly laughed, raised her right hand, and placed the sapphire ring made by her mother Chik on her forehead.

He is about to cause God to descend!
Angel entered the mirror world without hesitation, and at the same time notified his "person in the mirror" to rush to Elaine, while he himself prepared to find the nearest mirror passage and head to the divided battlefield above the "City of Dreams".

Otherwise, once the "Original Witch" descends, all the angels on their side will be in danger.

At this moment, two arms with white skin and delicate fingers appeared in front of Angel's eyes. They quickly wrapped around her waist, and snake-like tentacles stretched out from behind, with eyeballs at the ends wide open, making her whole body stiff and unable to move.

A soft, charming, smiling female voice came to her ears:
"You are finally here...

"Do you think I don't know that you are planning to use the 'female witch' to force me to show up?
"That's right, I was going to come find you too.

"Elian Soran is not a complete female witch. The person in the mirror formed by the transformation from a hunter to Despair has some kind of flaw. This has nothing to do with combat or promotion. It just doesn't satisfy Him...

"It's okay, I'm very satisfied with you..."

The sound layered into Angel's mind, causing goose bumps all over his skin. He felt as if he was being targeted by a natural enemy. He fell into extreme panic, and felt the flames of desire constantly surging from his stiff body.

This was different from the inner excitement and physical pleasure when hugging Klein. It was a charm that transcended gender and could make all living things' most primitive desires burst forth.

There is only one person who can make her, the witch of disaster, unable to move and make her feel this way...

"Original Witch" Chick!
He is waiting for Angel in the mirror world!
Swah——

Angel was wrapped in long hair with countless venomous snake-like tentacles, his waist was held tightly by a pair of white arms, his cheek was pressed against another face that surpassed human beauty and reached the conceptual level, and his back was surrounded by a curvy body. He was dragged into the depths of the mirror world.

Above the spirit world, in the gray fog, Klein, who had been keeping a close eye on Angel's movements and observing the situations at other battle locations, suddenly discovered that the prayer light belonging to Angel beside him had become dim, and the vague connection was almost cut off.

In the basement of Saint Samuel Church in the northern district of Backlund, on the third floor of the Chanis Gate that sealed "0-17", Saint Anthony had already released "1-29" and "1-80" in turn, allowing the beautiful lady in a hooded classical robe, with a beautiful appearance and dark but expressionless eyes, to leave the sealed location.

The latter suddenly opened his eyes and his figure disappeared as if being erased by an eraser.

PS: I did a two-in-one today, but my waist still hurts. It’s gone tonight, but I may not know for sure tomorrow…
