Chapter 258: Magic Master
Illuso looked very miserable.
There were clear red and swollen scars on his face, and blood was constantly flowing from the corners of his mouth.
But he is not dead after all - as a member of the assassination team, as long as he is not dead and can still move, he can continue to fight.
Not to mention, Illuso has never been at a disadvantage.
Since the battle was always fought on his home turf, it made no difference how well Polnareff performed.
In this mirror world that belongs only to him, Illuso not only has the ability to retreat safely at any time, but also hides a magic weapon that can truly defeat the enemy.
Just like now, he finally showed the desperate hidden ability of the man in the mirror:
"I'm only letting 'half' of you go!"
"You'll soon be like a baby in difficult labor, half stuck inside and half sticking out!"
This is not a wonderful metaphor, but a very scary fact:
The man in the mirror can not only drag people back and forth between the real world and the mirror world, but can also stop halfway.
In this way, a terrible phenomenon will occur in which half of the target's body is in the real world and the other half is in the mirror world.
Just like now...
Polnareff could feel his body sinking into another world bit by bit.
He couldn't stop it, nor could he break free.
Because this is not a simple contest of power, but the stand ability of the man in the mirror is at work.
Polnareff's body disappeared from the mirror world bit by bit.
First the left arm, then the left shoulder, and then the left half of the body from head to toe.
And then nothing happened.
Illuso only sent the left half of Polnareff's body out of the mirror world, leaving the remaining right half of the body in place.
For Polnareff, this feeling was undoubtedly very wonderful:
He could clearly feel that his body was intact.
But whether standing in the real world or in the mirror world, others can only see half of his body.
Moreover, his two eyes were divided into the left and right sides of the body, one in the mirror world and the other in the real world.
So Polnareff can now see the scenery of two worlds at the same time.
However, the left and right halves were not torn so neatly.
It was like a piece of white paper torn casually, with the crack extending crookedly from the forehead to the feet, not completely symmetrical.
Polnareff's nose was split on the right half, in the mirror world.
A mouth is completely divided into the left half in the real world.
This resulted in Polnareff smelling the scent of the mirror world, while the sound of his voice could only echo in the real world.
"You can't move anymore?"
The sound clearly entered the right ear:
"With the body divided between two worlds like now, no one can act as they wish."
"Now, even if you try your best, you can only move your body slightly. You have completely lost the ability to fight back!"
Illuso shouted so wildly.
But he was right, Polnareff was indeed unable to move.
Although he was clearly not injured and could clearly feel his intact limbs.
But there was an inexplicable force that was stopping him, so that no matter how hard he tried, he could only move a tiny bit.
Polnareff is now trapped in a jar, unable to get out of it.
But Illuso was far from finished with his actions.
Because Polnareff's previous performance was so unexpected, such fighting will and fighting wisdom had completely aroused Illuso's vigilance.
To be on the safe side, he had to ensure that Polnareff now had no ability to turn the situation around.
"It would be a bit ugly to have only half of the body left."
"Let me help you again and pull your double into the mirror world—"
"Of course, it can only come in half way!"
As he spoke, Illuso opened the mirror channel again, and actually reached out to drag the silver chariot that was standing there in a daze outside into the room.
Only half of Polnareff's body went out, and only half of the Silver Chariot's body came in.
Then, because of the ability of the man in the mirror, even more bizarre situations occurred:
Half of Polnareff's body and half of the silver chariot's body were pieced together, and the cracks on their cross-sections fit perfectly with each other, looking like a mirror that had been broken and then pieced together again.
This phenomenon occurs simultaneously in the real world and the mirror world.
The "person" standing in the mirror world is the right half of Polnareff's body and the left half of Silver Chariot's body.
The "person" standing in the real world is the left half of Polnareff's body and the right half of Silver Chariot's body.
This is undoubtedly an extremely wonderful sight.
But Polnareff had no time to sigh.
Because he helplessly discovered that not only was he unable to move, but even the silver chariot could not move freely.
He and his stand-in all turned into wooden men with almost no ability to move.
"Face the reality..."
"The ending was determined the moment you entered the mirror world."
"No one can beat me in the Mirror Man's home turf. Your performance is perfect enough, but it can't change this huge gap in ability."
In the mirror world, Illuso said to Polnareff with a stern face.
That cold gaze was like looking at a dead person.
In Illuso's eyes, Polnareff, whose real body and stand were unable to move, was like a pig that had been tied to the slaughter line. In the final analysis, he was no different from a dead person.
Polnareff really wanted to say a few words in such a desperate atmosphere to show his unyielding attitude.
But unfortunately, his mouth was sent to the real world along with the left half of his body.
If Illuso does not open the mirror channel, the voices of humans in the real world cannot be transmitted to the mirror space.
"The man in the mirror!"
Polnareff could only reluctantly listen to Illuso giving orders in the mirror world:
“I’ll leave it to you to solve!
The next moment, the heavy and powerful fist of the man in the mirror landed firmly on Polnareff's body.
The body, which was already covered with bruises, was hit even harder.
In the real world , a mouthful of dark red blood slowly flowed out from the corner of Polnareff's mouth.
And this is just the beginning.
The fists of the person in the mirror soon came like a storm.
The dull sound of flesh and blood colliding continued to ring in the mirror world, and intense pain began to surge into Polnareff's brain like a tsunami.
“That’s terrible…”
"I didn't expect... that he actually had such an ability hidden."
"I can't do anything right now. If this continues, I..."
Polnareff's heart gradually grew cold.
The situation had taken a turn for the worse in such an unexpected way that there was nothing he could do but accept this cruel reality.
Now he is almost completely unable to move, and can only barely turn his neck and move his wrists.
The only part of the body that can move freely is probably the mouth.
What can he do in such a situation?
Could he rely on his mouth to bite through space and kill the enemy across a world?
Thinking of this cruel and unchangeable situation, even a man like Polnareff couldn't help but feel discouraged.
"I...I'm afraid I'm really going to die."
At this moment, the revolving lantern of life is about to start spinning.
Faintly, Polnareff could even see his deceased friend waving at him from afar on the horizon of the Egyptian desert.
However, at this moment...
A horrified cry suddenly rang in Polnareff's ears:
“Aaaaaaah!”
In the real world, a passerby howled like a groundhog:
"How come only half of this person is left?"
He was just a young tourist who was about to stroll across the bridge, but he never expected that he would see such a strange scene after crossing the bridge.
The word "weird" is not strong enough to describe it.
Because ordinary people cannot see the stand-in, the young tourist cannot see the complete "person" that was pieced together, nor can he see the right half of the silver chariot covered with silver armor and holding a long sword.
He could only see Polnareff's flesh and blood body, the body with only the left half left.
What he saw was just this "half person".
This half of the person was standing in front with one leg, and the entire right half was empty, as if it had become transparent.
“Ghost, ghost!”
"You...what the hell are you?!"
The young tourist shivered with fear.
If his legs hadn't been weakened by fear, he would have turned around and ran away.
"Me..."
Polnareff knew that he must look very horrifying now.
But the half of his body that remained in the mirror world was still being beaten crazily, and he was about to die without being able to fight back, so he had no intention of caring about the feelings of this passing traveler.
"Ha ha…"
Polnareff smiled with difficulty and said casually:
"I said I'm a magician, do you believe me?"
"magician…"
The young tourist was slightly stunned.
The next second, his eyes, which were originally filled with fear, burst into an irrepressible passion:
"Wow, what an amazing magic trick!"
"There is no flaw at all, and half of the body is 'missing'..."
"Master, how did you do this?!"
The young tourists shouted out in excitement.
He just had an expression as if he had seen a ghost, but now he acted as fanatical as if he was on a pilgrimage.
"this…"
Polnareff never thought that he would gain a "fan" before his death.
However, seeing the curious and excited expression of the young tourist, he seemed to have grasped something vaguely.
That is hope.
Hope always comes unexpectedly.
The reason why the strong are strong is that they can seize every opportunity that comes around them.
"Hey...you like watching magic, right?"
Polnareff endured the pain and gave the young tourist a gentle and friendly smile:
"Come, come to me..."
"I'll show you something even more amazing."
