Knight Asylum

Kagawa Hideyuki dodged sideways, while Reid subconsciously punched down, and the crystal shattered on the spot. The fragments thrown into the air swelled up like a puffer fish, and countless spikes stabbed indiscriminately around.

This time Red didn't throw another punch, but dodged the attack.

"If physical attacks don't work—"

Reid retreated to the side of Hideyuki Kagawa, clenched his fists, completely removed the restrictive belt, and revealed the ultimate power. The fiery red faded into pure black, and the golden horns on his head forked upwards. His red eyes reflected the crystals that were rushing towards them.

The blazing flames instantly engulfed all the attacking crystals, but before Red could breathe a sigh of relief, all those crystals broke out of the flames.

“Is this not possible?!”

Hideyuki Kagawa turned around and faced Reid, and the two crystals just passed by both sides of his body.

"Red, fire is also a physical phenomenon, so you still launched a physical attack just now."

"The mirror world is another completely opposite world. You cannot enter the mirror world. You have not really destroyed the mirror world itself. You will only add more mirrors. You must prevent the mirror world from connecting with this world."

Reid was stunned as he didn't expect Kagawa Hideyuki to suddenly enter teaching mode.

“What should I do then!?”

"These cores are the product of proliferation. There must be a real source. We just need to destroy that source!"

Hideyuki Kagawa glanced around, his brain quickly calculating the proliferation speed and direction of each crystal column.

The direction of impact, the different rates of proliferation, the falling fragments.

Countless numbers jumped, and soon Hideyuki Kagawa had a direction.

"under!"

The moment Kagawa Eiyuki finished speaking, Reid immediately bent down and punched the ground. The ground collapsed on the spot and countless crystal columns shattered, but before the fragments fell, they were all blown up by the hurricane that went straight up.

After a brief moment of surprise, Hideyuki Kagawa immediately understood what Reid meant. Although the physical phenomena of this world could not truly destroy the mirror world, these core crystals of the mirror world were the manifestation of the mirror world entering this world. Since they had entered this world, they would naturally be affected to a certain extent.

There is no need to worry about accelerating the proliferation of the core of the mirror world due to your attack. Just destroy the real source!

Red's punch not only opened up the fastest way downward for them, but also knocked all the crystals into the sky.

"Go down!"

Hideyuki Kagawa leaped forward, but before he fell, an arm suddenly stretched out from the scattered crystals and grabbed Kagawa's arm tightly, dragging Kagawa towards the crystals that were constantly multiplying and expanding.

Because of the expansion of the crystals, Reid and Professor Kagawa saw the full appearance of the owner of the arm, which was a blue dragonfly monster. The only monster that could move in the mirror world was the mirror beast that had been corroded by the mirror world.

Reid's pupils shrank sharply, and among all the falling and expanding crystals, mirror beasts of different forms emerged.

It was only then that Reid reacted.

Where have all the employees of Takamizawa Group gone?

As far as common sense is concerned, with the situation inside the Takamizawa Group, anyone with a normal mind would want to run away as soon as possible, but what if they didn't run away? Or... Takamizawa Group, are they using them as an experiment?

The mirror beasts falling from the sky gave him the answer.

"Red! Charge! Charge down! I am the Mirror Knight now, and the mirror world has little influence on me! Don't forget! This is not a choice between a hundred people and ten people!"

Knowing that he could not escape immediately, Kagawa Hideyuki made a prompt decision and rushed into the mirror world to intercept the mirror beast.

Red gritted his teeth and jumped. Mirror beasts kept pouring out and tried to drag Red into the mirror world, but the moment they got close to Red, they were engulfed by the scorching flames and turned into charcoal in an instant.

Faster!

Red threw a punch, and the moment his fist collided with the crystal, a big mouth suddenly stretched out from the crystal and bit Red's arm, trying to take this opportunity to drag Red into the mirror world, but before it could drag him, the strong wind burst its head.

As if aware of the impending crisis, the crystals intertwined and formed a giant prism large enough to completely engulf Red, hoping to force Red to crash into the mirror world himself.

Golden arcs of electricity swept out and leaped along the cave with Red as the center, like a dragon turning over. The earth was churning, and countless steel bars were raised and flexibly gathered in front of Red to form a huge drill. Red opened his hands and kicked down. The horrible heat directly evaporated the mirror beast that tried to approach, and the drill condensed into one smashed the prism all the way down.

"boom--"

Reid landed smoothly.

The depth of Takamizawa Group's underground buildings was beyond his imagination, but at the deepest point, it was completely different from the chaotic outside. Was it because he had gone too far?

No, the core of the mirror world was right in front of him.

Different from the crystals that were running rampant outside, it was a perfect polygonal cylinder with his appearance reflected on every side, and there were no other crystals in this space.

Red stared at the core of the mirror world and wanted to use his ignition ability to destroy the core directly, but for some reason, he didn't feel like he could ignite it.

Red's shoulders collapsed slightly, he raised his fist and punched the wall, and a huge steel bar swept out.

Just as Reid was about to smash the core of the mirror world directly, a figure walked out from behind the core of the mirror world. He was wearing a brown coat, his eyes were firm but somewhat empty, and his tone was extremely steady.

"Do you think it really makes sense to do this?"

"Who are you?"

If he shot it directly, he didn't know whether the core of the mirror world would be shattered, but the person who suddenly walked out would definitely turn into a pool of meat paste.

"Me? I'm Kanzaki Shirou," the man looked at Red.

"Kanzaki Shirou?"

Red was stunned. Embe mentioned to him again that the discoverer of the mirror world, Selvi Turia, was the chief of the mirror world research department.

Why is Kanzaki Shirou here?

Red was only briefly confused before he immediately reacted.

"Did you do all this?"

"Do you think it really makes sense to do this?"

Kanzaki Shirou put his hands into the pockets on both sides of his coat, and instead of answering Red's question, he asked again.

"Everyone's pursuit is different, and everyone sees the world differently. Even if you smash them...it won't change anything. Failure will only make them pursue it more desperately."

Countless huge pyramids pierced through the floor and nailed into the space.

These are all the cores of the mirror world that were shattered by Reid. They did not perish, but instead multiplied in a more distorted form.

"Even if you can shatter the core of this mirror world, you cannot shatter the mirror, fantasy, and... hope in people's hearts."

Chapter 197 Odin

Kitaoka Hideichi was running in the street, and every passerby who passed by Kitaoka subconsciously turned their heads to look at Kitaoka Hideichi. The combination of his shabby posture and his exquisite suit was not common.

Is this the second generation of rich people who suffered the tragedy of their family falling into poverty?

Under normal circumstances, Hideichi Kitaoka would never have appeared on the street in such an embarrassing state. As an ace lawyer, he has always been careful to maintain his image in the outside world, but now he can't care about that.

Takuma Itsuki asked him to go to Zhinao Group in a low profile to undergo the resurrection surgery, so he did not drive his own car all the way out, but wanted to take a taxi. Although it was late at night, there was no distinction between day and night in [S·L], especially in Shinjuku area, where people were still coming and going even at night.

But the damn thing is that he didn't even see a taxi!

"Damn it! Damn it!"

Kitaoka Hideichi ran towards the Zhinao Group while cursing angrily, but after only running a few steps, he felt dizzy and almost fainted. Kitaoka Hideichi still remembers this feeling. At first he thought he was working too hard and was overly tired. It was not until he went to the hospital for a check-up that the doctor told him that he had an incurable disease.

Kitaoka Hideichi covered his chest and gasped heavily.

If he really ran all the way to Zhinao Group, he might die before he even got there.

Just when Kitaoka Hideichi was in despair, a taxi stopped not far away and the door opened.

Kitaoka Hideichi's eyes lit up and he staggered towards the taxi. Unfortunately, before he reached him, a young couple, talking and laughing, held the car door and prepared to get in.

"Wait, wait a minute!" Kitaoka Hideichi shouted hurriedly.

The young man looked Kitaoka Hideichi up and down with a look of surprise on his face, "Excuse me, is there anything I can do for you? I called this taxi."

Kitaoka Hideichi's expression froze, and he quickly took out his wallet and took out the cash. Because he was too anxious, his business card, which he regarded as a signboard, fell to the ground, but Kitaoka Hideichi didn't care at all and stuffed the money into the young man's hand with an urgent look on his face, "Please - can you give me this taxi? I ​​have something urgent!"

"I'm sorry, we have something urgent to do," the young man glanced at the cash in his hand and pushed the money back. The girl politely bent her waist and said, "I'm sorry."

Kitaoka Hideichi grabbed the money, feeling extremely confused.

Is this really what the citizens of [S·L] would say and do?

Seeing Kitaoka Hideichi's desperate expression, the couple felt a little embarrassed. "But we can give you a ride. Where do you want to go?"

Kitaoka Hideichi subconsciously wanted to say Zhinao Group, but when he thought of the reputation of Zhinao Group, he couldn't say it. After hesitating for a while, he raised his hand and pointed in the direction of Zhinao Group. As the saying goes, all roads lead to Rome. The couple did not think that Kitaoka Hideichi was going to Zhinao Group just because Zhinao Group was in the direction he pointed.

"Great, it's on our way, we can give you a ride."

The young man gave up the passenger seat and sat in the back seat with his partner. Kitaoka Hideichi was stunned for a moment, then sat in the passenger seat and closed the door.

Along the way, the enthusiastic young couple asked questions curiously. During this process, Hideichi Kitaoka learned some things about the young couple. They were tourists who came to [S·L] for a tour. Because [S·L] was too lively and exciting, they had overstayed their time and might miss the flight leaving [S·L].

Under normal circumstances, Kitaoka Shuichi would probably be able to talk to the young couple with ease, but today his mind was in a mess and he... didn't really want to wake up.

The young couple saw that Kitaoka Hideichi was in a very low mood and understood the atmosphere very well so they stopped asking him questions endlessly.

Some distance away from Zhinao Group, Kitaoka Hideichi stopped a taxi. If they went any further, they would have to take a detour to get to the motorcycle, but the young couple did not intend to stop the taxi.

"Um... I don't know what happened to you today..."

The young man rolled down the car window, put his hand on the window and waved to Kitaoka Hideichi.

"But you'd better go back and get some sleep."

Kitaoka Hideichi was stunned for a moment, and gave a forced smile, "Thank you..."

"Goodbye then—"

The young man waved and rolled up the window.

Looking at the taxi turning away, Kitaoka Hideichi clenched his fists and walked straight towards the building of Zhinao Group which was already in sight.

Don't think about it -

Don't regret -

Do you want to die?

This is your only chance, you've already come this far -

You've already said that to Goro!

Kitaoka Hideichi stopped and there was no way he could take another step forward. It was obvious that the Mingnao Group was right in front of him.

"Om-"

Accompanied by a shrill whistle, the dazzling high beam hit Kitaoka Hideichi's face. Kitaoka Hideichi raised his hand subconsciously, and the shadow of his fingers blocked some of the high beam. A truck was speeding towards him, and the driver of the truck looked familiar to him.

It seems that he was an unlucky lawyer who was severely criticized by him in a lawsuit, and his law firm's reputation plummeted, and finally he seemed to have lost his job.

And this unfortunate fellow was staring at him with a look of satisfaction and madness on his face, obviously coming to take revenge on him.

Why would this guy who had a personal vendetta against him show up at such a clever time?

He no longer wanted to think.

"teacher!!!"

A roar broke the silence before death. Kitaoka Hideichi suddenly opened his eyes wide. The truck speeding towards him revealed the madness of that unfortunate guy who was obviously crazy. In the reflection of his car window, he saw a figure running towards him who had given up resistance.

----

"so?"

Red understood what Shirou Kanzaki meant. If they were in a quiet cafe and there was no such crisis, Red might have been conflicted and had a chat with Shirou Kanzaki.

But now, actions are far more important than words!

"I don't know if the mirror in people's hearts can be broken, but..."

Red lifted the steel bar and headed straight for Kanzaki Shirou.

"I can probably break the things behind you, so please get out of my way."

Shirou Kanzaki's eyes moved slightly, and he slowly pulled out his right hand. A black box appeared in Red's field of vision. Unlike the black boxes held by most people, the one in Shirou Kanzaki's hand was reddish-brown in color, with a pattern of a phoenix with spread wings on the surface.

Without even thinking, Red used supernatural power to ignite the black box, intending to burn it directly.

A ball of fire ignited in the air, but Kanzaki Shirou passed through the fire like a non-existent phantom, his coat fluttering, revealing the belt around his waist.

"Henshin——"

Kanzaki Shirou raised his eyes slightly and slid the black box in his hand into the belt around his waist.

In an instant, countless golden feathers fell.

Red stared at Kanzaki Shirou, and a feather fell down, blocking his view. When the feather fell, Kanzaki Shirou disappeared, and standing there was the Knight in the Mirror, holding a staff decorated with folded wings on top, with a sacred and majestic posture.

"I am Odin—"
