Chapter 2439 (1/2)

2439 Statue with a Thousand Hands and Eyes

Miss Mirror’s rainbow powers kept swinging. They broke many of the reflections in the mirrors, but Han Sen’s body remained completely undamaged.

“My Lady, if you still had a deified body, it is safe to say that my Jadeskin wouldn’t be able to endure your powerful sword strikes. But now, you aren’t too different from me. You are a first-tier King class opponent. Unless you strike me with the broken sword, hitting my reflections isn’t going to hurt me,” Han Sen said.

“So, what? It’s actually quite relieving that I don’t have to worry about striking you. I will just hit the woman instead. Even if you hide her behind you, you cannot protect her shadow from me,” Miss Mirror pronounced as she raised her broken sword again.

“My Lady, you must have heard what I just said,” Han Sen said, as he suddenly looked at Miss Mirror.

“What?” Miss Mirror asked.

“We are the same level as Kings.” Han Sen raised his fists. The ice jade around his fists became a godlight and flashed toward Miss Mirror.

Miss Mirror’s heart jumped, and an old mirror formed in front of her. She wanted to reflect the Jadeskin godlight back on its wielder, but the godlight wasn’t a simple attack power. It was a power for sealing.

The icy light suddenly wrapped a binding seal around Miss Mirror and the old mirror, resolving into the shape of a giant ice cube.

“Miss Mirror, I’m going on ahead. If I can break the red-eye power, I will come back for you.” Han Sen looked at Miss Mirror’s broken sword, but he decided not to take it with him. He simply resettled his arms a little more comfortably around Wan’er and headed back into the broken city.

Even if the prophecy was true, it would be fulfilled by him and the girl now. Their current situation still aligned with the sixth picture of the mural they had discovered.

But the broken city in front of them had yet to be cleared. The place was covered in broken stone and debris, and since Night Wind was no longer there to make a path for them, Han Sen had to do it. While carrying the girl, he broke the stones himself.

He didn’t have substance chains like Night Wind, so he was unable to clear a wide area. Instead, he broke a path just wide enough for him to slip through while still carrying the girl. He tried to travel as fast as he could.

Han Sen felt as if the red-eye power wasn’t affecting him as much, which might or might not have been because his eyes were broken. He still felt the urge to move in a certain direction, but it wasn’t that strong.

He wasn’t sure what sort of weapon that broken sword had been, but Han Sen’s injured eyes weren’t healing with Jadeskin’s power.

But Han Sen cared little about that. It didn’t matter to him if he had eyes right now. He could take the time to heal when he got out of there.

Han Sen hadn’t been gone for long with the ice sealing Miss Mirror made a groaning noise. Cracks appeared across its surface, and a second later, the ice cube shattered. Miss Mirror was free.

Miss Mirror looked in the direction that Han Sen had escaped. Her expression was conflicted, but a while later, she sighed. “I hope he can break the red-eye curse.”

Miss Mirror had realized something, and although she didn’t want to think about it, she knew she had to. Unless she became deified again, it wouldn’t be possible for her to defeat Han Sen at his current level. And so, if Han Sen couldn’t find and destroy the source of the red-eye curse, all was lost. Perhaps the prophecy would come true, too, and one of them would die.

“We might be the same level, but I can’t compete with you. I hope when you are deified, you will have the courage to face me in the same way.” Miss Mirror sat on a rock near the entrance to the cave leading into the city. She cast a geno art to block the addiction-like draw of the red-eye power, and she sat there awaiting Han Sen’s result.
