Chapter 425 Mirror Image and Doppelganger
Lorraine deliberately fell backward into the abyss...
Terra, who was present, was pushed aside. She quickly lay down on the steps, extending the grappling hook hidden at her waist, trying to grab the falling Lorraine. Lorraine smiled, his gaunt face beaming, and spread his arms, accelerating his descent.
Terra felt her grappling hook wasn't long enough...
He muttered anxiously to himself, "Is this someone trying to commit suicide?"
Terra wasn't the only one expressing doubt.
On the human side, the Scarlet Crusade warriors watched as the evil necromancer jumped into the crevice, assuming he would either fall to his death or be incinerated by the lava. Besides, even if he landed on the steps below, there was a large group of Faceless Ones there.
Aside from being the mayor's plaything, Garin was practically dead.
The Blood Pool Altar was completely destroyed.
The Scarlet Crusade assumed the Forsaken mage had given up. The Faceless Ones were too terrifying. Some of them were prepared to do the same. Had it not been for their leader, Jordan, extending his staff to stop and shout, these cowards would have already jumped down with Lorraine.
Why did Lorraine jump into the abyss by herself?
He fell backward, as if in freefall. He wasn't doing anything foolish... if he were to give up on himself, he would have chosen to rot in his grave long ago. He wouldn't have had to leave Deathstroke Town and endure this twenty-one-day nightmare under his teacher's guidance.
The Eye of Truth in Lorraine is the most precious artifact besides the Orb of Deception, the One Ring, and the Tide Charm.
This is also one of the most crucial parts of the body that he helped his teacher find intact.
The Mirror of Truth, composed of the Eye of Light and the Eye of Shadow.
The main body is a pair of glasses.
A pair of glasses visible only to Lorraine and her apprentice. Wearing them, one can detect subtle magical flows, dispel simple illusions, barriers, and disguises. They can even detect low-level invisibility.
Of course, there are some side effects to seeing through armor and clothing, but these can be ignored.
Lorraine, the Unsullied, didn't seem particularly affected, but his teacher, Lorraine, was extremely excited; the "Pervert Glasses" lived up to their name. Actually, there was something Lorraine had never told Terra, nor would he mention it: he possessed a pair of magical glasses that could see through everything.
This includes former heroes like Jaina and Irene, and now the blood elf captain Terra. Terra is relatively petite and delicate, with fair skin and lively elven ears. This doesn't diminish the immense magical power she possesses within her small frame.
As a high elf mage like Dalaran, he was already over two hundred years old, but in the blood elf age of three thousand, he was actually still a child... or just coming of age.
It doesn't matter...
Importantly, Lorraine not only lacked an eye for beauty, but he also lacked mortal desires. Unlike Lorraine, who, even as a mere spirit, was not interested in the Queen, Lorraine, lacking the means to commit the crime, did not possess such desires.
He mainly uses the Mirror of Truth to identify the flow of magic, to find treasures, or to survive desperate situations.
At this moment, Lorraine, who seemed to have committed madness and foolish suicide, put on the Mirror of Truth, which found the culprit who released the Shadow Barrier to block the exit. The spellcaster, who had transformed into a Faceless One, was none other than Horace, the scribe who had been assassinated earlier, or rather, the eight-tentacle Faceless One transformed from the shadow sorcerer Horace.
Its released shadow energy maintains the entrance barrier.
There were several helpers assisting below.
Without a word, Lorraine deliberately plummeted downwards, aiming directly at the magic circle below... Besides, he had another plan... and a decision. The werewolf servants he'd previously ignored couldn't be wasted; these agile helpers leaped swiftly down the central altar pillars and between the chains.
Soon they came to protect their master...
Since we can't escape, let's attack head-on!
......
Terra watched as Lorrain teleported directly into the blood pool before falling into the abyss. Only then did he remember that Lorrain was actually a mage, a necromancer ice mage at a level close to intermediate mage.
Lorraine landed perfectly, and the people above thought he was dead.
Terra and Lorraine had a secret communication method, and Terra sensed Lorraine's safe landing. She focused her attention on the entrance above her. To cover Lorraine's escape, she launched the first attack on the mayor.
The surrounding chains, stones, and abandoned weapons all floated up automatically.
Gravity spell...
The weapons moved and flew towards the Faceless One, almost ineffectively, but slightly hindering the mayor's progress. A hint of doubt appeared on its large head; why had that evil plague messenger jumped down...? The mayor, who was almost losing his human mind, didn't think much of it at the moment.
Like a cat preparing to eat, it is toying with its mouse prey.
Terra launched her attack, and the human warriors and crimson mages around her joined in... They didn't want to die either, using every trick in the book. Their only desire was to survive, escape, or kill monsters beyond mortal comprehension...
Lorraine stood in the pool of blood, gazing up at the altar pillar at the center of the hollow structure of Atonement Island, which connected the entire dungeon. Chains were linked to this towering pillar of blood...
The pillar of blood connects to the pool of blood, and this stone pillar is at the center of the altar.
Since we can't escape for now, let's cause chaos! Even if it means burying ourselves underground, we can at least find a glimmer of hope.
Lorraine commanded his werewolf minions to smash the base of the altar, destroying every mechanism they could. Not even a single brazier was spared... to divert the blood from the pool into the ley lines, into the scorching lava.
Lorraine herself held her breath and solemnly put on the Mirror of Truth.
Previously, this lens always hung on his forehead... Only after actually wearing the precious mirror did Lorraine feel the difference. The Faceless Ones beneath the Mirror of Truth were each supported by a core of black spheres... those cores seemed to be the fragments of bloodstone that Lorraine had once seized...
Some faceless beings without fragments are faintly connected to the mother body by thin threads of energy.
Lorraine determined that the other Faceless Ones were originally split from the mother body of the Bloodstone Egg fragments. The true mother body likely consisted of Mayor Born, commoner Wilkes, scribe Horace, blacksmith Kabala, tailor, farmer Rain and Gaz, miner Hackett...
The mayor received three portions, while most of the clones were taken to the steps above. Those hanging on the surrounding chains were just phantoms... The faceless beings that seemed to appear out of thin air actually had clones. However, illusions and real entities coexisted, and ordinary people had no idea whether they were dealing with the real entity, the avatar, or the mirror image.
"Hmph, so I was fooled. They're not invulnerable after all. They were dealing with mirror images the whole time!"
Lorraine secretly cursed herself for being so stupid...
"Having such a precious treasure but not using it! The words the teacher used to scold me are coming back to mind..."
The main reason is to hang the artifact on your forehead and use it as sunglasses. Actually, it's also because the artifact's X-ray vision is really an eyesore. It's okay when looking at a beautiful woman like Terra, but when you see those disgusting zombies, burly human men, etc... well...
