In a mirror maze composed of a large number of mirrors, a figure wearing gray-black soft armor and holding two swords fell to the ground, with various mirror cards inserted on his body.
Some joints of the soft armor on his body had been dented and damaged.
Fatal Wound is a card that goes straight into his brain.
Alka came out from the mirror behind him.
Looking at the dead enemy.
This enemy with two swords is the opponent that Alka faces on the second floor.
Just as he thought.
This opponent's strength is six spirals.
However, the suppression of strength allowed Alka to solve the problem without much effort.
But I am still shocked by his strength.
The surrounding environment disappeared again and turned into the place where I first entered.
Push open the heavy door again.
After pushing open the door, the state is restored to full.
The enemy Alka is about to face is an enemy with the strength of the perfect second stage, the Nine Spiral.
Judging from the previous two battles, this time the enemy is definitely a top-level one again.
Alka still remembered his strength when he was at the Nine Spiral stage. He had just recently advanced from that stage.
He was somewhat looking forward to it.
What kind of strength do you expect the enemy to display at this stage?
As Alka entered, huge trees rose into the sky one after another, and huge rocks, soil and weeds emerged from the surroundings.
In just a moment, Alka entered a primitive jungle.
Abnormally real.
He could even smell the scent of plants and earth in the air.
It seems like it rained not long ago.
"Are they targeting even the terrain this time?"
Alka couldn't help but complain, and jumped up a tree along the branch.
After observing the surroundings, I didn't find any suspicious movements or enemies.
He jumped again and landed on another big tree.
Alka moved between the trees like a monkey.
This time the enemy did not take the initiative to attack.
Each movement leaves a mirror on some corners of the tree's branches.
Help him observe the movements here.
However, after most of the day, Alka still did not find any trace of the enemy in the jungle.
He began to slow down his speed, conserve his physical strength and state, and began to deliberately place mirrors in various places to observe and control the entire environment.
The whole jungle was dead silent. Apart from the sound of the wind blowing against the leaves, nothing could be heard.
There was a sound of wind behind.
Alka reacted promptly, and the mirror behind him also gave him some reminders.
In an instant he jumped off the branch.
After landing lightly, he looked at his thigh and saw three bloodstains there.
The enemy is too fast.
There were dark green marks on the bloodstains, which were obviously poisonous.
A dagger appeared in his hand, and he cut off the flesh on his thigh without hesitation. The liquid mirror covered the bleeding wound.
The pain stung his spirit.
Alka frowned and alertly sensed the surrounding environment.
A large amount of pink clouds began to spread around.
The enemy is hiding in the dark and has extremely strong concealment, making it difficult to be discovered.
The attack also contains toxins.
A stealthy hunter of the jungle?
Obviously, judging from the attack just now, it was not a humanoid enemy.
Not finding any trace of the enemy around him, he kept observing himself and deliberately avoided the mirror.
It was very smart. It showed up only at the moment of attack and then hid immediately.
Alka hunched his body and moved forward slowly.
Suddenly there was an explosion behind me.
A mirror card hidden by Alka exploded, and several water chains bound the enemy, allowing Alka to see what was attacking him?
It was a cheetah-like creature, emerald green all over, which could easily blend into the surrounding environment.
Three sharp claws protruded from the tips of its front paws, emitting a light green light.
It seems that the trigger mine card can be very effective at this time.
Alka couldn't help but smile.
As the enemy was tied up, he disappeared from the spot in an instant, and the water chains that were originally tied to him were waving in confusion.
It was clear that the cheetah-like creature had just been tied up by them, but suddenly it disappeared.
Looking at the creature that disappeared on the spot.
Alka narrowed his eyes slightly. Wow, he actually has the ability to teleport, and it seems that the priority of teleportation is quite high.
What kind of second stage can master such ability?
I couldn't help but complain silently in my heart.
The forest environment seriously affected his performance in the mirror maze.
Apparently, the mirror maze he used in the previous game was targeted.
The mirror surface appeared on his face.
Alka didn't change at all, as if he wanted to wear the mirror on his face.
The mirrors he had hidden in various places in the forest began to slowly rotate, helping him to observe the surrounding environment.
Especially the surrounding branches are covered with mirrors.
The mechanism of this trial should not allow this creature to escape, and it must still be trying to figure out how to kill itself.
The stinging pain from the wound on his thigh made Alka frown.
The toxin seemed to have begun to spread, and the rapid healing of the wound still left a trace of toxin.
This poison...
It's so disgusting. I can only feel that the poison seems to be paralyzing my nerves.
If only Mathilda were here.
He could feel a slight numbness in his right thigh, and the numbness began to spread.
In addition to preventing him from better controlling his body, he also couldn't accurately understand the situation of the toxin.
How insidious.
Three enemies, two of them are poisonous.
It seems we have to fight quickly and decisively.
The enemy seemed to be waiting for its toxicity to spread.
The figure of the Dream Death appeared on the mirror.
Alka's entire body changed immediately, a robe of light and shadow covered him, and a black sickle appeared in his hand.
He is now actually able to transform into a creature with extremely strong resistance to poison, transforming part of his digits into his legs.
But the problem is that this is an ordinary creature and cannot bring any improvement to Alka.
Alka's strength may even be reduced due to the incoordination of limb changes.
The pink mist began to spread throughout the forest.
Under Alka's reckless consumption of magic power.
This time, Alka quickly spotted the enemy.
He used Flash directly, appeared next to the cheetah, and slashed at it with the sickle in his hand.
The cheetah's figure was extremely fast and it disappeared from the spot immediately. The moment it disappeared, Alka threw the sickle in his hand out.
He must kill the enemy this time. A large amount of pink mist spread out, and even with the Dream Catcher's protection, his magic power was still consumed very quickly.
The pink mist spreading around erupted at the same time.
The cheetah that had just appeared in the distance was immediately dragged into the dream.
The thrown sickle spiraled rapidly towards his position and slashed directly at his body, with the tip of the sickle piercing and hooking his entire body.
Alka disappeared again.
When he appeared, he was holding a sickle, but the cheetah on the sickle had disappeared, leaving only a pool of blood on the branch.
"I smell it." Alka said with a smile.
Although the enemy disappeared, the smell of blood was already there.
This is now the best way to track.
A mirror appeared at Alka's feet and he immediately disappeared from the spot.
When he reappeared, he appeared behind the cheetah.
Hidden there is the mirror that Alka left behind when he passed by earlier.
Looking at Alka who is chasing after him again.
The cheetah seemed to have given up the idea of ​​running away and turned to pounce on Alka.
At the same time, Alka had already swung his sickle.
Watching his sickle about to chop down the enemy.
The cheetah suddenly rushed forward in the air, and its front paws directly grabbed Alka's light and shadow robe.
A gap suddenly appeared in the robe, and the defensive power of this cloak was still trustworthy.
But several cards flew out and stabbed the cheetah.
Water chains and flames exploded at the same time, and one of the silver cards even cut off one of its hind legs.
The explosion and water chain caused it to lose its ability to move instantly, and it fell from mid-air.
Alka dropped directly from the sky, and with the sickle that had missed his previous attack, he stabbed downwards once again and pierced the cheetah.
After penetration, he immediately pulled it hard.
The cheetah died instantly.
Alka also sat on the ground, his right leg was completely numb.
If the cheetah had not been left behind this time.
Then he would almost lose the ability to take the initiative to attack.
When the cheetahs disappeared, the forest disappeared with them.
Alka appeared in the room again.
While there is still a trace of feeling in my right leg.
Alka immediately dragged himself into action and appeared at the gate.
I put my shoulder against the door and pushed it forward as hard as I could.
Use the cautious feeling of your numb right leg to exert force.
Finally, the door was opened in the final stage.
Power sweeps.
The numbness in Alka's right leg disappeared instantly, and even the wound healed.
The consumed magic power and physical strength were immediately replenished, and the spirit that was slightly tired due to the pain became refreshed.
It was as if the battle just now didn't exist.
This feeling comes in an instant, making the whole person feel refreshed.
“This feels really good.”
Alka said, clenching his fist.
Although his strength was restored, he did not immediately pass through the crack in the door and go to the 4th floor.
Because the enemies he will face ahead will be enemies of equal strength that he should have faced.
Judging from the battles on the previous few levels.
He will only have a few more spirals of strength than his enemy, calculated based on the full strength of the enemies in the Trial Land.
The strength of these spirals won't give him any advantage.
The enemy in the Nine Spirals just now, except for the lack of treasures, basically has the best configuration to target Alka.
But treasures are treasures after all, and the advantages they bring are not so easy to make up for.
Although Alka also paid a certain price.
Targeted at its environment, targeted at the enemy's means of attack.
So when you are about to face an enemy of equal strength, will you still make targeted choices based on your own situation?
Thinking like this, Alka entered through the crack in the door.
What came into view was an endless wasteland, with hard stones underfoot and not even a trace of weeds.
There were only some gravel on the ground.
On the wasteland, the enemy stood right in front of him.
Is that... a skeleton?
Alka thought it would be an animal or a human, but he didn't expect it to be a ghost.
Is there anything special about this?
He must use all his strength on this level, since he has realized that the next level will respond based on his performance on the previous level.
He deliberately began to hide his abilities, especially some key abilities.
Because once you use it, the next layer will target it in a certain way, making it unable to achieve the desired effect.
Alka didn't know if everyone was like this or if they were targeting him because he had the treasure.
So he looked at the skeleton warily.
A huge axe as tall as his body appeared in the skeleton's hand.
The axe is covered with spells, and you can tell from its appearance that it is definitely a powerful weapon.
I think I can't bear it, so it's better to stay away.
Alka waved his hand, and mirrors appeared around him one after another, forming a mirror maze.
Starting from the distant skull, it moves in a circle around it.
And Alka also disappeared on the spot and came to the outskirts of the maze through the mirror.
Facing the mirror that surrounds you.
The skeleton held the giant axe in his hand and spun it around fiercely.
A circle of huge blade-like attacks spread out in all directions.
“Crack!”
The loud sound of glass shattering continued.
With just one attack, at least three or four layers of mirrors around it were completely cleared out.
Most of the mirror maze was destroyed in one fell swoop.
Seeing this, Alka immediately dismantled the entire mirror maze.
Keeping it is a waste of time.
"You're targeting someone of the same level." Alka couldn't help it.
But there are still several mirrors left around for quick transmission.
Two cards flew towards the enemy.
Draw two arcs.
Facing the flying cards, the skeleton simply glanced at them with its eye sockets burning with dark green flames.
The card seemed to have lost its kinetic energy, and a faint green flame ignited on it and it fell to the ground.
"It won't force close combat."
As Alka finished speaking, the skeleton looked directly at him, and a green flame immediately ignited on Alka's body.
Fortunately, he always has a protective shield on him.
Faced with this unexpected attack, the shield was immediately deployed.
The flame was not hot, but rather freezing cold.
The flames were blocked outside.
But his original power was already attached to it.
Alka felt that his movements were becoming slow and even affecting his spirit.
Fortunately, his soul is different from ordinary people, and his spirit is even more so.
The essence of the spirit is much stronger than his body.
The dark green flame that made his mind slow down did not have any effect on his spirit.
His mind was still racing.
Controlling the heavy body, he rolled to the side.
“Bang!”
There was a loud shattering sound nearby, and the skeleton had already chopped down the place where Alka had just been with his axe.
There was still a pale shadow dragging on his body.
Looking at Alka who was dodging, he raised his axe and stood where he was.
When the axe chopped down, his whole body suddenly rushed forward, leaving a long white shadow behind him, and he instantly appeared in front of Alka.
The axe blade chopped straight down.
Arka, who had just stabilized his body, immediately rolled backwards. The wind pressure from the downward axe made him feel a slight pain on his cheek.
But at least he avoided the attack.
What a mess.
The slowing effect of the flames on his body was finally dissipated by his magic power.
Feeling his body lighten, Alka immediately threw a full 8 cards at the enemy.
These 8 cards flew around from all corners.
The rotation of the skull finally stopped only four cards.
He couldn't see so much.
Another four exploded next to him.
What exploded at this time was no longer flames, but pure holy light.
The spells attached to Alka's cards are no longer limited to those three.
It’s just that those three combinations are very easy to use under normal circumstances.
The exploding holy light immediately caused damage to him.
The white bones seemed to be corroded and holes appeared on them. Even the soul fire in the head began to dim and flicker.
“Ahhhhhh!”
A shrill howl was heard, and a dark green skeleton soul surged out of his chest and crashed into the place where the holy light exploded.
The soul and the holy light collided, and both were destroyed at the same time.
The skeleton raised his axe again without hesitation and faced Alka, and the axe fell downwards.
His body once again turned into a white shadow.
This was the third time and Alka had gotten used to his moves.
The beginning of each attack was too obvious.
Without the suppression of the soul fire, he immediately rolled backwards.
However, this time it failed.
Just as he was about to roll backwards to avoid the attack, his body was frozen in mid-air.
It was as if the surrounding space was frozen.
Alka opened his eyes wide, and now only his thoughts were still moving.
There was an instant pain in the body, and the whole body from the chest down was split in half.
The skeleton's axe, now covered in blood, cleaved through his body.
This was already a fatal attack.
And the reason why Alka was not teleported out.
Because this is not his original body.
The cautious brain is still thinking.
There are not many people who have the ability to solidify space.
Not even a second, just enough time for him to attack from a distance.
The broken body fell to the ground, but Alka was still alive, and his body immediately returned to its original state as if refreshed.
Alka uses his dream double to help him in early battles in order to gather information on the enemy.
Obviously this tactic is very effective.
After refreshing, a mirror immediately appeared on the face.
In less than a second, Alka transformed into the god of death in the dream world, and a large amount of pink mist poured out.
The surroundings immediately turned into a world surrounded by pink clouds.
The skeleton immediately felt his movements becoming slow, and even the swaying of his soul began to flicker.
Mirrors appeared all around again.
A mirror appeared under Alka's feet, and Alka, who had transformed into the form of the Dream Death, disappeared on the spot.
The skeleton held up his giant axe and looked around vigilantly.
A large number of soul skulls surged out of the chest cavity again, and these skull-like souls dragged dark green cloud trails around.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and let out a sharp howl.
A black sickle flew in a spiral from behind him.
The skeleton, which originally seemed to be slow in movement, immediately turned around and threw the giant axe in its hand in a semicircle, colliding with the sickle.
However, the collision sound that should have occurred did not occur, and the sickle went straight through the giant axe.
Only the curved tip of the blade hit the enemy's shoulder blade.
A large gap immediately appeared at the shoulder blade, and the bone there turned into bone debris.
Taking this opportunity, several cards flew over and exploded around again.
Holy light flickers.
At that moment, the souls surrounding them seemed to have found their target and rushed towards the flashing holy light.
The moment the light flickered, the skeleton was also slowed down.
A pink mist erupted.
The skeleton still had the soul fire in its head affected and fell into a deep sleep.
Alka walked out from a mirror nearby, and then appeared next to the skeleton in a flash, holding the spinning sickle in his hand and chopped directly at his head.
The skull's head immediately turned into a metallic black sickle, making a crisp sound when it was chopped.
Then he was frozen in the air again .
This long-planned attack did not work.
Instead, it awakens the enemy from their dream.
But the moment the enemy woke up, the solidification effect disappeared.
The axe immediately chopped from bottom to top.
Alka had to disappear in a flash, throwing out a flash of white light before leaving.
Very good, at least the enemy was tricked into solidifying again.
This ability obviously cannot be used casually.
A pale flying knife pierced the enemy's spine.
After Alka appeared in the distance, he suddenly stretched out his hand and shook it.
The flying knife immediately changed, and a large number of bone spurs shot out from the other side.
Merged into one with the skeleton's bones.
The changes in his body's skeleton immediately caused a huge change in his movements, making them extremely stiff.
Struggling to change the changes in the bones in my body.
Alka flashed in front of him again, and the continuous flashing made the second magic power consumption even greater.
This time the sickle went from bottom to top, and the curved tip of the blade pierced directly through his jaw into the soul fire.
There was a weak spot there, and Alka had been staring at it for a long time.
Coupled with the shaking white edge of the sickle, it is easy to penetrate it.
The struggling skeleton immediately stopped moving, and its bones drooped down.
