Chapter 228: Mirror of Damnation, A Battle of Life and Death (2/2)

Clancy felt his hands and feet become cold.

He didn’t have much confidence in Ayrin because he knew that he himself wouldn’t necessarily be able to survive through an attack like this.

“I told you I would kill you.”

Rinsyi took a deep breath of air.

Although he didn’t need to breathe while in the state of Body of Vengeance, he did so anyway. He felt as if the air around him had suddenly become filled with an extraordinary sweetness.

From his point of view, Ayrin was as good as dead.

Or rather, he was in the process of being killed, and everyone was powerless to save him.

……

“What happened?”

As Ayrin observed his surroundings, he only saw the gray void of space around him.

It seemed to stretch endlessly in all directions and was completely devoid of everything except for an unpleasant gray aura which permeated through the entire space.

At this moment, Ayrin couldn’t sense the existence any arcane particles within his body, and his body felt strangely weightless.

It was as if he had been turned into a floating mass of air.

“What kind of arcane skill was I struck by?”

“Why is everything like this?”

“Has Rinsyi hidden himself somewhere within this space?”

At the start, all kinds of thoughts and notions successively floated through Ayrin’s mind.

He waited, but Rinsyi didn’t appear, and his surroundings remained the same.

“Have I been trapped in here?”

Ayrin couldn’t endure any longer as he began moving.

He quickly realized that this world was not normal at all.

Because this gray void of space seemed to be endless.

Ayrin continued moving in the same direction for a long time, yet there wasn’t a single change.

“I can’t escape?”

“No way. Either way, even if I can’t escape, there are many people out there like the referees and Teacher Carter who will intervene.”

As Ayrin came to this conclusion, other thoughts began to run through his mind.

“Rinsyi, you idiotic coward, do you dare come out and fight with me!”

Ayrin screamed into the void. As it echoed through the empty space, the space only seemed to become even more empty and endless.

Time slowly ticked forward as seconds became minutes, and minutes became hours. It was enough to cause one to go mad.

Finally, a day seemed to have gone by.

A second day followed the first… then three… and four…

“Could it be that I have already died?”

“Or has my spirit been eternally trapped in his domain, never to leave?”

After countless days passed without any signs of intervention, such a thought finally popped into Ayrin’s mind. But those thoughts were quickly quashed as Ayrin successively roared into the nothingness.

“No, how can one die so easily!”

“Rinsyi, you bastard, I don’t believe you will be able to maintain this world forever!”

“When I was still in the mines, something like this happened, and I thought I would never make it out!”

“Those mines were even darker than this, yet I was still able to escape!”

“Rinsyi, I will definitely defeat you!”

……

In reality, only a short couple of seconds had passed.

“In the Mirror of Damnation’s world, one cannot sense the flow of time. Have you already gone mad and killed yourself?”

As Rinsyi was also connected with the mirror, he was unable to move. Gray gases undulated from his body as he quietly muttered to himself.

He watched with cruel eyes as the oval gray mirror slowly dimmed.

In the pane of glass facing him, his image gradually disappeared.

“The skunk devil has already turned gray! It’s almost indistinguishable now, as if it has merged with the mirror!”

At this moment, a shrill cry broke the immense tension within the arena.

“Ayrin’s yet to change color. What does that mean?”

“Is Ayrin in danger?”

As these cries entered Rinysi’s ears, the look of happiness in his cruel eyes quickly disappeared.

“What?!”

“Ayrin hasn’t changed?!”

In the next moment, Rinsyi couldn’t help but shrilly cry out, “How! How can he still be alive?!”

The color atop Ayrin’s body was becoming increasingly full of vitality once more.

At the same time, the gray mirror began to release an increasingly great amount of gray gases as it slowly began fading and melting back into nothingness.
