Chapter 49 Chapter 49: The Hall of Mirrors

"Geng, this way!" Qiao Zuo roared and flew towards Gen who was standing there in a daze.Mina held out her arms. There was only a split second between Mizuru's disappearance, and Golem, who had been serving as the headquarters until now, waved his arms and joined the ranks of the battle.Wataru leaped sideways and grabbed Mina's hand.Gorlem's fist missed George's wing by a hair's breadth.Qiao Zuo lost his balance for a moment, but still managed to avoid the attack and soared up. "Where's Mizuru?" Katz's dragon catches up to Jozo.The bodies of the dragons glowed red with the flames that were gradually devouring Sorebria.Katz's face was blackened with soot.

"Here, to the Crystal Palace..." "Chasing! You can't dawdle!" Katz grabbed the dragon's horns and lowered his body.The human and the dragon merged into one, and the dragon retracted its wings and glides straight towards the Crystal Palace. "Jozo, can you?" "Look at me!" George gritted his teeth and followed closely behind.But he was bruised, probably from bruises, maybe from burns, and the scales fell off here and there. The Golems who surrounded Sorebria still narrowed their encirclement towards the Crystal Palace.Looking back, Gen could see that Sorebria had turned into a spectacular rubble field. Wildfires were spreading everywhere. In the narrow space like a labyrinth, someone was lost and at a loss. He shouted loudly to the flying dragons around him.

"Please take the people from the imperial capital away from the Crystal Palace and lead them outside the city walls!" "clear!" Katz and Long, who were walking ahead, seemed to be only the size of Gen's fist.Like a red meteorite, they fell straight towards the Crystal Palace. At this moment, Wataru felt the "Qi", which seemed to be only the breath of magic, the kind of airflow that Mizuru used when driving the wind magic in the Torian Kama Hospital and in Sono Port. "Ms. Katz, watch out!" The moment Gen yelled, the outline of the Crystal Palace crooked as if surrounded by sunlight, and in the next moment, a huge tornado rose from a point deep in the palace city.The torrent-like whirlwind was in the shape of a vortex, drawing a spiral that expanded rapidly. He watched the dragon riding Katz directly attacked, and suddenly entered a stall state as if being strangled.

"Danger…………" Jozo was also bounced off by the wind from the outer edge of the tornado.Gen's voice disappeared into the air.He was like a small handkerchief in a washing machine, whirling and spinning, unable to distinguish up, down, left, and right, and was thrown far into the sky. The shouts of Ki Kima and Mina were also mixed with Jozo's screams.The sky and the ground are transformed like a mosaic.Even the huge Golems were staggered by the tornado.The rubble of the collapsed building flew up, and the building that was about to collapse was blown away.The stone houses floated into the sky one by one, like magic, disintegrated little by little, and then were blown away.Maybe it was the burning watchtower. The huge fireball of the internal pillar structure could be vaguely seen, flying over the helplessly blown away Jozuo, hitting the wall next to the city gate, and disappearing with the sparks.

"pay close attention!" exclaimed George, almost crying, and Ki Kima caught Mina with one hand, and hung the other on Jozo's wing. "Geng, come on!" Gen embraced Qiao Zuo's outstretched foot with both hands.He was dangling in the air from the waist down, down, falling.Quickly approach the ground.Fall, fall again... As if scooped up by a big hand, Wataru's horizon skimmed the ground and rose.It was Qiao Zuo who recovered.The vast sky is really dangerous, too scary, Qiao Zuo let out a cry like a dog barking, and at the same time spit out a ball of fire. "Yes, Jozo!"

When I saw it, I realized that it had been scraped to the edge of the city wall.The dragons also flapped their wings desperately around the tornado, and counted the "seven pillars": one end, two ends, — all there.Is Katz safe and sound?Where? "Ms. Katz!" The shouting was also blown away by the wind. "I'm here, here!" Katz's dragon, perhaps with a broken wing, struggled to fly, staggering lower than they did.Jozo lowered the altitude.Gen climbed to the dragon head, leaned out over Qiao Zuo's big head, and saw Qiao Zuo's eyes filled with tears.

"But, it's scary!" Qiao Zuo said, "What happened just now?" "It's wind magic. Mizuru covered the Crystal Palace with a tornado to prevent us from approaching." Gen desperately stroked Qiao Zuo's head.When he didn't pay attention, he almost cried himself. Qiao Zuo managed to keep his balance and flew side by side with Katz's dragon, only to find that Katz was also injured.She was scorched all over, bleeding from an opening under her right eye, and only the black ash there was washed away. "Beasts can't get close!" Her hand, which gripped the whip, was also bloodstained.

"Is there any way to counter that magic?" "My strength is not enough." Gen gasped desperately, "The only way to do it is to use teleportation magic. Try it!" As Katz said, he jumped lightly and landed on Jozuo. "Okay, let's go." Katz grabbed Gen's wrist firmly. "Go—to where?" "Let's go together! If I catch you, you can also teleport right?" Gen looked back at Ki Kima and Mina.Mina staggered to her feet. "through--" "Meihe, Ms. Katz and I will figure out a way to deal with it. So, please leave me here, okay?"

Mina's blue-gray eyes reflected the flames that dyed the sky above the red capital at this moment. "Ming, understand." "Be careful," Ki Kima stood in a kneeling position, "Okay, Qiao Zuo, after they disappear with magic, we will patrol the imperial capital and guide the desperate people from above!" Qiao Zuo stretched out his wings and said, "Oh!" He drew the sword of the brave.Use your heart, concentrate, and think back to the situation when you teleported in Gasala.It should work, sure.Crystal Palace, go to Crystal Palace. Concentrate the power of the three jewels.

He closed his eyes and chanted the mantra, his body suddenly became lighter.The field of vision was bright, and the heat of the flames and the strength of the wind could not be felt.It was a magical cannonball fired into the air, rising, rising, drawing an arc and flying through the air, passing over the head of Gorlem, the sky over the imperial capital Sorebria, and heading towards the Crystal Palace—— "Crack", return to reality.Floating in the air.Along with Katz.The two are flying in the air.Underfoot, the magnificent Crystal Palace is approaching.Wide terraces with stone handrails surrounded by ornamental watchtowers.The central spire reflects the sunlight brightly.

For just a split second, the fallen knights could be seen all over the terrace, behind the arches leading to the interior of the castle.Blood, blood, blood, blood spurting everywhere.Why are there only silver and white helmets thrown in that kind of place?Why did the other place only drop iron boots?It's all over the place.The bodies of the knights died in pieces, did they die under the sharp blade of Gale Magic? ? "Landing!" Katz yelled.The duo fell like rocks.Below is a stone terrace covered in pools of blood. But at this very moment—— "Don't get in my way!" Meihe's voice shook.Gen's eyes sparkled.The body that was about to hit the ground bounced off an invisible wall.Under the fierce battle between magic and magic, the world around Gen distorted and exploded. Katz screamed angrily and grabbed Wataru's wrist! With a sound of "dong", the two fell down.He landed on the ground, his waist on the ground, and his head was dizzy. "This, here is..." Katz sat exhausted, looking around.Gen put his head in his hands and closed his eyes tightly, trying to stop the spinning vision. Later, Gen raised his head, opened his eyes, and finally there was still a little distance, but the shining minaret and castle were more clearly seen than when he was in the imperial capital.A few wisps of smoke could be seen coming from several windows of the castle. "This... is the garden." Katz made a frustrated voice. Many beautiful gardens surround the Crystal Palace.The two landed in one of the gardens.Remains of pavilions and forts supported by crude stone foundations.This is the "Victory Garden", the garden where Meihe met Princess Sophie.Of course it is impossible to know. "It's so quiet." Katz stood up.Annoyed, he wiped away the blood that flowed into his right eye, "Not even a single knight." "They've all entered Gale Magic." Wat wanted to stand up, but his knees seemed to be falling apart.Katz took him by the arm. "Then, what is here-" Katz was about to say "it didn't happen" when he shut up.The grounds were in disarray, with signs of the strong wind everywhere: fallen trees, scattered flower petals, collapsed fences. Behind the bushes fell two men who looked like guards, hands and feet spread out.The blood from their bodies stained the sand. When the wind from the periphery of the tornado blew, people around the castle were killed by its sickle-like blade. "Didn't you see it just now?" Gen asked Katz, "We once flew close to the terrace of the castle. Just for a moment, I saw the situation inside the castle. The knight's head fell to the ground, and there were flying blood everywhere. In the castle, the same thing happened here as soon as the wind passed by." Mizuru wanted to grab the crown of seal, and anyone who blocked his way—whether it was a knight or an official, mercilessly slashed and killed with the blade of gale magic. With his back to the castle, he looked around at the imperial capital.The huge wind circle fanned by the gale magic completely enveloped the vast Crystal Palace.The fires that had devastated Sorebria swayed like scarlet auroras, raging beyond the reach of the wind. "Why not just land on the terrace?" "It was pushed back by Mizuru. That guy knew that I was teleporting, so he bounced us away with magic." As soon as Gen spoke, the corners of his mouth trembled.There were drops of blood dripping from Katz's feet. "Ms. Katz, the wound has to be attended to. It's bleeding badly." "This injury is nothing." Although he said it forcefully, the blood almost blurred his right eye. "Try again. Is it okay?" "Who are you asking?" Katzli flicked the whip, fastened it around his waist, and then tightened his grip on Gen's wrist. Close your eyes.Don't worry too much, with the power of the three jewels I have, I will fly to the crown of the seal - the place where the jewels are hidden.Not by my will, but by Baoyu's will. "Please, take me there." Gen murmured, "This time I'll see you!" The figures of Wataru and Katz disappeared from the "Garden of Victory". Turned into nothing, turned into light, time stopped, flitted across the sky— This time the fall took a long time.Is it head down or feet down?His hands moved unconsciously in the air. Gen and Katz landed on the ground in a daze.Katz's foot was a beat slower than the impact of the fall, and it hit Wataru's back with a "boom". For two or three seconds, the two lost their breath.When he woke up, he fell face down on the slippery floor.What is it, such a pale, transparent floor?Why is Dilla Rubesi so similar to that frozen city... Startled, he braced his body with both arms, and saw clearly all at once. This is a hall surrounded by large columns.There are reliefs of people on each column: wearing a crown and wearing a heavy cassock.Isn't this the portrait of the emperors of past dynasties? When Genzheng thought about it, he saw Meihe. He stood alone in the middle of the hall. It was a pale, transparent hall.Meihe's mage's black robe is reflected on the floor under his feet, the high ceiling, and the smooth walls between the columns.Mirror—This is a mirror that emits a pale, clean light. This is a hall of mirrors. "Wu, wo." Katz's eyes were attracted by Meihe, by what Meihe and his perfect profile were looking up at. The mirror of long darkness. The Mirror of Everlasting Darkness is placed at the north end of the hall, with two columns on the left and right.Its diameter exceeds Wataru's height, and it is an impeccable perfect circle.The mirror is slightly tilted, facing upwards, and in the mirror is—— dark. full of darkness.The darkness has been overflowing to the edge of the silver-white circle, boiling silently, tumbling and boiling. With a slight shake——Mizuru took a step and approached the Mirror of Ever-Darkness.At this time, Heng noticed: a small star-shaped pattern was drawn on the pedestal of the Mirror of Eternal Darkness.In the center of the pattern is a simple ring with ripples, over which is placed a crown inlaid with gemstones. It is the crown of seal and the dark gem. The dark gem is also full of darkness like the mirror of ever-darkness, shining with pitch black color. Meihe raised his eyes to look at the sealed crown, and took another big step forward.At this time, the appearance of the person who had been hiding in his shadow so far jumped into Wataru's eyes. It's a girl.Elegant white dress, braided, embellished black hair.He sat sideways on the ground and held the head of a man who had fallen on the ground in his lap. That—isn't it the Emperor Jiama Aglias VII himself?His luxurious embroidered robe was in tatters, and his hands and feet had completely lost strength and were drooping on the ground. The girl's face was full of tears.Look closely, her robes are stained with blood.Is it her blood?Or the emperor's blood? "Mr. Meizuru." The girl called Mihe in a trembling voice.But Meihe didn't even bat an eyelid, as if fascinated by the Sealed Crown and the Dark Jewel. That girl's face—Water felt familiar.Wataru thought with his drowsy head because of teleportation: She looks like someone, who is it—— "Don't pester me." Meihe said.Although his face was still facing the front, his voice was directed towards Wataru. "This is the mirror of everlasting darkness." As if responding to Mizuru's words, the darkness overflowing to the side of the mirror made a noise. "And it is the last gem, the dark gem that I need." Meihe slowly bent down, knelt down on one knee, and reached for the crown. "Please, don't touch it, don't!" The girl in the white dress burst into tears and begged, "Please, don't unseal the Mirror of Ever-Darkness." The girl's body swayed, and the emperor's head slid off his lap, making an unpleasant "gudong" sound.Just an object—he was dead. Before he could make any movement, Katz pulled out his whip and rushed towards Meihe.The heels of her boots kicked off the ground.Black hair flying, shoulders cut back. Meihe still didn't look straight at him, and just pointed at Katz casually with the hand holding the magic wand.Just at this moment, Katz bounced in the air like a ball and flew away over Gen's head. "I told you not to make trouble." Katz groaned.Wataru drew the sword of the brave, and quickly fired a magic bullet.Mizuru waved his magic staff, and the magic bullet turned into sparks, and the sparks splashed to the surrounding walls. "stop!" Gen raised his sword and rushed forward.He runs on slippery ground.In the next moment, he had no choice but to be bounced away. He rolled forward and drew an arc, flew across the hall, and landed on his head next to the girl in the white skirt. "I don't need you to teach me what will happen after unlocking the seal of the Mirror of Eternal Darkness." Meihe's eyes finally fell on Gen.His eyes are smiling.The crooked look of his mouth has never been seen before. "Why?" the girl whimpered and cried, "Why did you do this?" "I am a 'traveler', princess." Meihe looked down at the girl and replied, "As long as this last dark gem is in my hands, the road to the Tower of Destiny will be opened. This is why I came to the 'Illusory World' Yes. How many times do you want me to say it before you are satisfied?" Katz stood up, desperately trying to get out of whiplash position, her vision blurred and her focus was out of focus.The impact of the slam on the floor made the hands and feet feel like they were separated.Wataru used all his strength to support his body with the sword of the brave.Katz did the same, too anxious to grab the whip.He was bleeding more heavily, and his face was flushed. "To change fate?" the girl asked Meihe, with tears streaming down her cheeks. "That's right." Meihe said softly.At that moment, a kind of affection for the girl flashed in his eyes, "Princess Sophie, please allow me to restore the unreasonably skewed balance of happiness beside you to its correct position." Riddle general words.The girl's mournful expression added to her confusion. This face—it does look like someone.I know her. Fragments of memory come within reach. "It's sister-in-law." He couldn't help saying, "It's Meihe's sister-in-law. She looks like sister-in-law!" I'm also only twenty-three years old.I can't bear this kind of thing.She murmured tearfully—— Meihe looked back at Gen with sharp eyes. Too unfair fate.Flying disaster.Just to change it, I trek in the fantasy world. How can fate be stopped?Who has the right to stop it?There was only a moment in Gen's heart, but it was an irreparable moment, and it was greatly shaken. Meihe reached out to touch the Crown of Sealing Yin, and gently picked it up.That movement was unprecedentedly gentle, perhaps even more solemn than touching one's own soul. "stop!" Gen's shout echoed in the empty hall.Meihe held a crown in one hand and a magic wand in the other.He finally completed the "passenger" mission, he suddenly raised his magic wand into the air, and recited the spell. "One last time as a friend. Go, run away!" The strong wind that suddenly rolled up covered Gen and the others.Feet off the ground, body suspended.Gen desperately swung his hands, tightly grasping the white skirt of the girl beside him. "Hold on!" The hall disappeared in an instant.
