In the realm governed by the Mirror Wraith, the laws of the mirror space ultimately remained under its control, making it challenging for Angel to make any guesses out of thin air.
Given the difficulty in making such guesses, he decided to directly experience it himself.
Without hesitation, Angel stepped onto the heart of the island. The moment his foot touched the island, the Mirror Wraith, standing at the center of the altar, let out a frenzied roar.
The dark flames behind it grew wildly with its screams.
As the dark flames grew tenfold larger than the Mirror Wraith itself, they suddenly transformed into a massive shadow. This shadow writhed and surged as if a terrifying monster was hidden within, attempting to break free from its shackles.
Angel looked up at the shadow behind the Mirror Wraith, pondering.
The energy level of the Mirror Wraith had inexplicably increased several times.
At this moment, the mere soul pressure generated was enough to intimidate the majority of transcendents at the apprentice level.
Even if Eniya were here, she would probably have to retreat.
However, for Angel, this level of energy was still not enough to affect him. What he was curious about now was whether this power belonged to the Mirror Wraith itself or if it was the power of the mirror space?
Or… was it the power given to the Mirror Wraith by this sacrificial altar?
The soul pressure had reached its limit, but the volume of the shadow continued to grow, as if the monster hidden within the shadow wanted to break through its destined shackles by expanding.
As the volume of the shadow increased, the roar of the Mirror Wraith also began to change. What was previously a boastful roar now sounded more like a feeble scream.
“Ah, the soul power of the Mirror Wraith itself is rapidly decreasing… Is it the shadow behind it that’s absorbing the soul power?” Angel mused, “This is rather peculiar.”
Initially, Angel thought the shadow was merely a capability of the Mirror Wraith, but it now seemed that was not the case. The shadow appeared to be some kind of creature different from the Mirror Wraith.
Could it be a creature that the Mirror Wraith had previously trapped within the mirror space?
This implied… the mirror space could also seal creatures?
As Angel speculated, the altar underwent another transformation. The four sacrificial heads mounted on poles suddenly opened their mouths, and a large amount of dark mist poured out, flowing into the shadow behind the Mirror Wraith.
When this dark mist entered the body of the shadow, its struggling movements began to weaken, and its outline became more defined.
At this point, it was vaguely discernible that the outline belonged to a massive creature, though it did not resemble a human.
One by one… after expelling the dark mist, the heads began to wither, leaving only a thin layer of skin covering the skull bones, as if their mission had completely ended after releasing the dark mist.
As the skull withered, the shadow became more solidified, even beginning to form an eye.
Although the eye had not fully formed yet, the ferocity and wild power it emanated were already spreading.
Angel watched the formation of the eye quietly, not intervening to stop it, but his expression shifted from relaxed to serious.
The pitch-black eye, devoid of any white space, resembled the eye of some demon. However, what truly shocked Angel was… that this eye was observing its surroundings.
It was observing with purpose, a sign of intelligence.
This was entirely different from the Mirror Wraith’s eyes, which harbored only malice.
Why would such an intelligent creature exist in the mirror space?
As Angel pondered, the black mist from the fourth skull atop the pole had also finished emanating and began to wither.
However, it seemed the black mist hadn’t reached the volume needed for the shadow to fully solidify, leaving much of the eye obscured in darkness.
Since the black mist didn’t continue to accumulate, the eye seemed to realize something, slightly turning its gaze towards the fifth pole… which should have been holding Little Seim’s skull, but was now empty.
“Useless creature, failing even to complete the sacrifice, yet daring to summon me… This is blasphemy! Blasphemy!”
The angry, enormous eye slightly looked down at the Mirror Wraith kneeling on the sacrificial altar.
Then, its gaze froze.
“It’s a soul… Even the physical body has perished?”
“Foolish ants!”
It kept cursing, seemingly trying to vent its anger.
However, its posturing was just a series of strange frequency oscillations to Angel, who couldn’t understand what was being said.
“Is it a language?” Angel squinted, “The rules of language are not sound frequencies, but some kind of strange oscillation, and even with a single eye, it can emit such oscillations. This is not something humans or humanoid beings can do.”
Angel’s voice caught the giant eye’s attention, and it looked towards him: “Eh, a human?”
“Who are you?” Angel looked directly into the eye, and after a few seconds, he smiled lightly: “It seems you don’t understand the common tongue.”
The giant eye kept emitting oscillations: “Are you mocking me? Damn it, if the sacrifice had been complete, I could have descended with my will.”
It disdained learning languages, as every time it descended before, it communicated through will.
But this time, it was one step short. The sacrifice wasn’t complete, the will couldn’t descend, and even the observing eye wasn’t fully manifested, with energy too low to even perceive human language.
Even if it couldn’t understand, anyone who dared to laugh in its presence was committing… blasphemy!
Those who blasphemy the gods must redeem their sins with their lives!
Conveniently, it also requires the life of this human before it to complete the final sacrifice!
With this thought, a greater malice flashed in its eyes, and massive and abnormal energies began to probe out from its pupils. These energies, outside the eyeball, transformed into countless black and red bone blades.
“Human, in the last moments of your life, witness the power of greatness. You should feel honored.”
“What are you saying again? Annoying, these non-verbal oscillations can’t even be analyzed by language.” Angel lifted his head to look at the giant eye: “But, there’s no need to guess what you’re saying.”
The countless bone blades were aimed at him, and just this was enough for Angel to know that the other party was definitely not friendly.
“Just fight then.”
The moment his words fell, the giant eye seemed to also perceive Angel’s intent to attack, without hesitation, it turned the bone blades into a rain, like arrows off their strings, densely attacking Angel.
Feeling the cold and stern whistling of the bone blades, a trace of satisfaction flashed in the giant eye.
The rain of bone blades would envelop the entire range of the lake, in its view, the human before it had no escape.
However, its vision soon froze.
The supposed killing move did not take effect; all the bone blades, upon touching Angel, all stopped, as if a layer of invisible shield was protecting Angel layer by layer, resisting all the bone blades.
Seeing this scene, a trace of dark energy flashed in the giant eye: “Transcendent… are you a wizard?”
Since it coveted humans, it naturally understood everything here, including the transcendent among humans——the wizards.
However, it remembered that its communicants, located on the fringe continents, were extremely far from where wizards lived.
Why would there be a wizard here?
Angel: “Let me guess, are you asking why I can withstand your attack? Or are you surprised that I am a transcendent being… a creature from another world?”
When Angel saw the giant eye, he had a vague guess in his heart. This eye might not be a native creature.
After all, this place is a mirror image of the altar, and Angel had determined from the beginning that the object of the farm owner’s sacrifice was very likely an otherworldly creature.
Moreover, the language spoken by this giant eye was a strange frequency oscillation that humans could almost never produce.
Of course, by this time, Angel had not completely confirmed that the other party was an otherworldly creature. Until he captured a bone blade, the source power in the bone blade was something he had never seen before, emitting an aura that was out of place in this world.
This out-of-place aura, Angel had also felt it on Jon before.
By this time, Angel could confirm that this giant eye was probably the otherworldly creature worshipped by the nobles of Dawn Town.
What Angel did not expect was that the Knight Irder sent by the Silver Heron Royal Family had always failed to find information about the object of the farm owner’s worship. Instead, he discovered clues in the mirror space created by the Mirror Wraith.
“Being able to withstand bone blades marks one as a formal wizard… Damn it, why would a wizard appear here?”
A surge of anger flashed through the giant eye, not just because it felt blasphemy, but more so because it was burning with rage at its current inability to defeat Angel.
The ritual was incomplete, and with only half an eye, it stood no chance against a formal wizard.
And not being able to defeat Angel didn’t really matter; the giant eye’s death was inconsequential, as it was merely a negligible strand of energy… What was most crucial was that Angel’s appearance meant its existence had been discovered.
Given the attitude of the Southern Region’s Wizarding World towards otherworldly creatures, one could imagine that a thorough search would inevitably follow.
It might be unable to extend its tendrils into the Wizarding World for some time!
“Damn it, damn it! If you came to my world, I would cut your corpse into countless pieces!”
All the giant eye’s shouting at this moment was actually devoid of any threat.
Upon learning that this was an otherworldly being, Angel no longer bothered to investigate what it was saying and simply decided to kill it.
Angel was not a follower of the Extreme Sect’s doctrine, nor would he kill on sight any otherworldly creature, but otherworldly beings summoned through evil rituals, which were generally of a Demon God realm, filled with greed and covetousness towards the Wizarding World, had to be dealt with decisively. If unbeatable, one would flee, but if possible, they must be utterly eradicated.
With this thought, Angel slowly extended his hand, pointing his finger towards the giant eye.
A massive amount of magical power surged around him, and a terrifying pressure began to emanate from his fingertip.
The giant eye was well aware that Angel was preparing to directly annihilate it. It was furious yet helpless; under the current circumstances, it had no chance of turning the tables. It could only watch as that slender finger gathered a terrifying amount of energy.
Just as the energy reached its peak, ready to be unleashed, Angel suddenly paused, his gaze shifting towards the ritual altar ahead.
The giant eye was initially clueless about what had happened, until it looked down… and its rage exploded.
The very ghost that had summoned it was now, in turn, devouring its energy!
“Damn it, damn it!”
“Traitor! Blasphemer!”
“I will kill you!”
Facing the Mirror Wraith’s devouring, the giant eye’s rage was even greater than when facing Angel. It and Angel were inherently enemies, and this time it could only be considered bad luck; if there was a chance, it would fight back next time; but it and the Mirror Wraith were originally on the same side, with the Mirror Wraith summoning it and being a follower while alive.
Now, to have it turn around and start devouring its energy!
It was like a dog biting the hand of its master.
This brought the giant eye’s fury to an unprecedented level!
Yet, under Angel’s oppressive pressure, its immense rage was nothing but impotent fury.
The Mirror Wraith’s consumption was incredibly rapid, after all, these dark shadows were originally burrowed out from its own body, containing a portion of its energy.
Just like drinking water through a straw, the Mirror Wraith absorbed the massive dark shadow behind it entirely into its stomach.
And as the giant eye vanished, the energy level of the Mirror Wraith itself began to surge wildly.
Its form even underwent a transformation.
Originally, it was merely a normal humanoid figure, with pale bluish skin and a hideously ugly face. But at this moment, its soul body began to exhibit anomalies; its size increased threefold, its limbs and skull all enlarging, beneath the skull was a bulky and massive body, its neck having disappeared.
The skin also changed from pale blue to a ghostly green, even emitting a cold light.
The death aura also transformed into a tangible black mist, swirling around its body.
This was an omen that appears only when the power of the soul overflows.
Without a doubt, the Mirror Wraith had ascended to a higher energy level!
The leap in energy level brought not just a surge in strength. As a special ghost, the mirror space was its innate ability, and at this time, the control level of the mirror space had also clearly improved.
Feeling the completely different aura of oppression, Angel’s eyes flashed with realization: “So, this is your true purpose.”
How could a ghost possibly trust others?
Even less likely to believe in the power of others, even if the other party was a Primitive Giant Eye God from another world.
Everything the Mirror Wraith did was the last spark of memory remaining… backlash, absorption, turning the summoned power from another world into its own, was its ultimate goal!
