BXBX NOVEL Chapter 517 - Mirror House
The Lesser Fenrir, Alphus, radiated an immense dark aura that parted the thick fog and revealed the location of the Sacred Snake. It bared its fangs and lunged towards the neck of the southern overlord. Adrian is not going to sit by and watch this happen which is why he put his plan in motion.
"Paradox, magnify the six mirrors in that area immediately." Adrian commanded as he is thankful that his ego weapon is acting like a second brain for him.
The parting of the fog not only helped Alphus but also Adrian as he was having trouble navigating his vision in the thick fog. The Cube of Paradox immediately executed Adrian\'s mental orders and magnified the six temporary mirrors in that location.
Adrian then utilized all six of his hands to try and grab the lesser Fenrir. Adrian\'s six hands became magnified using the mirrors. Six large demon hands made a grab for the Lesser Fenrir which made Alphus lose balance. The lesser Fenrir got pinned to the ground, but Adrian is not feeling confident.
The strength that he needed to keep the lesser Fenrir down is much greater than he expected as Alphus easily pushed away the six hands keeping him pinned down. The six gigantic hands crashed on the temporary mirrors and proceeded to break each mirror.
[You have received 12% damage in maximum health.]
Adrian received a system notification about a sharp decrease in health. He did not know that he would get damaged if he crashed on his own mirrors. It seems that his strength is not multiplied by six even if he has six hands in total.
Still, Adrian could see that his effort is not in vain as the southern overlord used that chance to coil around the Lesser Fenrir. The downside of the Sacred Snake evolution is the loss of its venom gland as it is replaced by a gland that creates the mist that comes with it whenever it is moving.
The southern overlord did not only coil around the lesser Fenrir but also casted ice magic as a layer of frost is slowly building up on Alphus. The lesser Fenrir thrashed about as it bumped on and mountains in order to shake off the southern overlord that is choking it to death.
Adrian though that the southern overlord is about to win when the lesser Fenrir erupted in black fire and burned the beautiful white scales on the Sacred Snake\'s body. Black scorch marks could now be seen on the beautiful white scales of the southern overlord.
Since Adrian left his concentration on the demon wolves as he is sure that his soulbounds would take care of all of them, the some of the demon wolves managed to escape. When the number of demon wolves remaining became eleven, one of the demon wolves activated the same ability that Alphus used against the southern overlord.
That demon wolve sacrificed itself by using its life force as some sort of magic cancellation aura. It then charged towards the mirrors that created the endless corridor effect and broke it each mirror it crashed on easily. The other demon wolves used this chance to regroup with their alpha.
The demon wolves suddenly became faster than ever as if they get stronger if their alpha gets lower in health. Adrian suffered from his own mistake, but he also knows that he fails the mission if the southern overlord dies.
"Since it has come to this, I might as well head to that location with my soulbounds for the final stand." Adrian stated. He then proceeded to enlarge he mirror in front of him and proceeded to enter it. He also conjured a mirror for each of his soulbounds to enter so that they could easily reach the next location.
====
Alphus, the lesser Fenrir, howled so loud that it became deafening to those that arrived recently. It seems that the current form that the lesser Fenrir is taking is its berserk form. Not only did it look like a dark flaming wolf, but it also radiated this aura that gives those around it with fear.
The other demon wolves also proceeded to become a dark flaming wolf to follow their alpha\'s lead. Alphus has still 50% of its health remaining while the southern overlord has 45%. The rain did not stop and still kept healing the southern overlord passively with 0.1% health every five seconds.
"It seems that you managed to thin the pack. Thank you for your assistance so far." The southern overlord stated as a praise for Adrian.
"Thank you but leave the complements when we kill that thing. Can we kill that thing though?" Adrian stated as he is not sure if they could win against a lesser Fenrir that has its damage multiplied by two.
"Just be mindful and not get hit by the Child of Disaster and you will live. One or two strikes from him would probably kill you or get you critically injured. Your priority will still be the same and kill off its underlings. They are a great nuisance." The southern overlord stated as she glared at Alphus.
"Kill the white snake!" Alphus howled as it charged towards the southern overlord in its flaming glory. All the trees that fell down became scorched in an instant.
"Immediately, make the mist thicker. I have a plan to buy us some time for you the get healed by my soulbound." Adrian stated as she sent Saena to heal the southern overlord.
"I do not know why you want to do so but I will trust you." The southern overlord stated as she produced more mist.
Adrian then proceeded to create mirrors that are rectangular in nature and in great amounts. He did not even care about durability as he only needed quantity right now. The mist suddenly covered the whole area and the wolves lost vision of their enemies for a second.
Alphus proceeded to blow away the mist using his own aura, but he got stunned by what he saw the next moments. Numerous images of Adrian\'s group and the southern overlord is now spread out. Alphus and the demon wolves could not make out where the real ones are.
"Welcome to my Mirror House. Well…more like Fragile Mirror House since each mirror will break with just a tap. Adrian muttered to himself as the southern overlord became amazed by Adrian\'s feat. He did say that he would buy her some time to get healed but she did not expect something this spectacular.
Her attitude towards Adrian became somewhat better as she raised her evaluation of the demon player. Adrian just hopes that it would but enough time to restore the southern overlord\'s health to at least 70%.
