Green-gray lumps quickly grew all over his face. His eyeballs turned white and protruded beyond the limits of a normal person. His nose rotted, and pieces of grayish-white flesh fell down, revealing the deep black holes and white bones inside.
When the familiar face that he saw every day when he shaved and washed his face with a strange smile, Lucien felt a strong visual impact. He could not believe that he could be so ugly and ferocious!
A bone-piercing chill rose from his tailbone and quickly spread throughout Lucien's body. Although his mind did not have any fear or panic after being mechanized, his high and mighty soul panicked for no reason. He wanted to release magic, but his body and soul were paralyzed and could not move at all.
At this time, the Lucien in the mirror squeezed out a clown-like smile with his rotten face full of lumps.
Boom! As soon as he saw this smile, Lucien felt that his vision went black and his heart suddenly stopped beating. After a full three seconds, his heart started beating violently again as if it had recovered. Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump! The sound was so loud that it seemed to be ringing right next to Lucien's ears. The movement was so fierce that it seemed like it was going to jump out of his chest.
Blood rushed out from his heart quickly, and the blood vessels expanded. Lucien had just recovered from the paralysis and felt that blood rushed to his brain again. Everything in front of his eyes turned blood red and blurred. It was extremely strange.
The blood vessels on his hand bulged, and he could see the blood flowing out crazily. This made Lucien's body go soft, as if he had lost a lot of his life force.
At this critical moment, Lucien, who had a strong will and strong control ability, and his emotions did not fluctuate too much due to the effect of the mechanized mind, calmly abandoned the subconscious thought of rolling to the side to dodge. A layer of faint light lit up on his body.
This light was sacred and pure, and it seemed to contain many runes. They kept appearing, flowing, and disappearing.
At this time, Lucien, whose body had started to rot in the mirror, took a step forward and directly went through it.
In its open mouth, the red tongue suddenly became longer, and its color turned black. The tongue hit Lucien's body like a javelin.
The fifth-circle spell, Powerful Fire Shield, could not protect Lucien from the black tongue at all. The strong sense of death condensed around Lucien.
Fortunately, Lucien had a layer of protection around him. The holy light and the runes blocked the black tongue, and the tip of the tongue let out a sizzling sound, with black smoke rising from it.
The fourth-level divine spell, Death Ward!
After Lucien became a middle-rank senior-rank, the second seal of Sun's Corona was cracked. Now, he could cast three more divine spells every day: Burning Light (level three), Death Ward (level four), and Flame Strike (level five). Death Ward could protect him from the power of death, and it could also protect him from the power of death and nightmare.
At this time, Xia Lot and Sandra also noticed that something was wrong. Lucien was staring at the mirror in a daze, and there was also the sense of a divine item on his body. However, the mirror was distorted, and they could not see anything!
Sandra pointed her purple magic wand at the mirror. Suddenly, the magic wand shone brightly like the sun. It was even brighter than the sun within 20 meters, but it was as if all the light outside of 20 meters had been absorbed by the magic wand.
The fourth-circle Light-darkness spell, Burning Sun, was only effective against the undead, demons, and other evil creatures in other dimensions. However, it did not have the sacred feeling of a divine spell.
In the pure light, a little bit of black smoke rose from the distorted mirror. The black smoke rose into the air and condensed into a horrible monster.
Its hood was half open, and it did not cover its face. Its eyes were red, and its face was skeletal, but there was a layer of rotten flesh sticking tightly to it. Two rows of white teeth were directly exposed because it did not have lips. However, if one looked closely at its appearance, they would find that its face was blurry, and it was rapidly changing between different ferocious appearances.
The monster was tall, and it was wearing an extremely luxurious black robe. There were countless mysterious patterns on the robe, and every detail of the robe was exquisite and full of evil.
The monster was surrounded by black smoke, and the light of Burning Sun was blocked by it. Then, it started to laugh loudly, and many gray shadows appeared around Sandra and Xia Lot.
The "Spell Absorption Wall" that flowed with runes on the outside of Charlotte's magic robe became more prominent. The gray shadows pounced on the wall and quickly melted, then were absorbed by the wall. However, as more and more shadows appeared, the Spell Absorption Wall began to show a faint gray color.
At the same time, Charlotte strangely flew out horizontally, as if the bookshelf was the ground and she was free-falling!
Fourth-circle Force Field spell, Virtual Gravity!
The five colorful magic balls above Sandra and Susan's heads were spinning rapidly, and every gray shadow was absorbed by the magic balls.
As more and more gray shadows were absorbed, the magic balls started to expand. Sandra pointed her magic wand, and a red, yellow, and gray magic ball was thrown at the hideous monster in the luxurious robe.
Two Palmeira's Energy Balls hit the black smoke around the monster, and the black smoke was shattered into pieces.
The light of Burning Sun shone into the monster's body, and the monster screamed in pain.
On the other side, Charlot didn't attack. Instead, he raised his right hand that was wearing a white glove. A huge illusory palm appeared around the monster and grabbed it, making it difficult for it to escape.
The fourth-circle Force Field spell, Douglas's Huge Palm, was said to be an improved version of a series of palm-shaped force field spells created by an ancient legendary archmage.
The ring on his right index finger, Element, was increasing Lucien's life force recovery speed. After blocking the first attack, Lucien was able to move again. However, he did not run away. He was still standing there, and he took out a crystal ball from his magic pouch.
The crystal ball suddenly darkened like a pitch-black night sky. Then, one star after another shone, emitting a pure light.
Then the crystal ball flew up on its own and floated twenty centimeters above Lucien's head. The stars around the crystal ball gathered into twelve bright light balls, which corresponded with the stars in the crystal ball. The light balls were orbiting around the crystal ball, creating a small astrological system.
This monster was like a nightmare. Normal magic attacks were ineffective, so Lucien did not waste time to test the power of the big fireball or the poisonous fog. Instead, he directly cast his unique spell, Maskelyne's Star. It was a spell of the school of astrology that combined the detection of illusions, the interference of the enemy's fate, the absorption of supernatural forces, and the attack of flying out of the "planet". In the Book of Astrology and Elements, there was a corresponding ninth-circle spell, Maskelyne's Astrology.
As Maskelyne's Star was completed, streaks of starlight shot out from the light balls and shone on the monster, trying to identify whether it was an illusion or not.
Under the starlight, the monster did not change at all.
At this time, Xia Lot pointed his black magic wand at the monster again, and it seemed that the monster became a little bit dimmer.
Fourth-circle Transmutation spell, Weaken Spell Resistance!
As soon as the spell took effect, Sandra and Lucien attacked together, one in front of the other. The timing was very accurate.
A large net that looked like it was made of sunlight enveloped the monster and tightly bound it. Every strand of the net emitted black gas, but it was quickly swallowed up by the scorching light.
A "planet" flying above Lucien's head turned into a shooting star and hit the monster. This spell could also suppress the evil creatures from other dimensions!
In the silent explosion of light, the monster was broken into pieces.
But just as Susan, who was scared half to death, breathed a sigh of relief, every body of the monster began to twist. Then, the ground began to twist, the walls began to twist, and the twenty-meter light of the Scorching Sun began to twist. Even Charlotte's palm that was controlling his force field began to twist.
The whole space seemed to be twisted.
Then everything fell apart!
Cracks began to appear like a broken mirror, and it collapsed with a crash, releasing a thin layer of mist that shrouded everyone.
Although the mist was not thick, Lucien's spiritual power and intuition were all gone, and he could only see twenty centimeters in front of him. Also, the mist was corroding Lucien's body, inducing Lucien's brain to secrete hormones and to operate his brainwaves.
Luckily, Lucien had cast Mechanized Mind, which made him immune to mind spells. Therefore, he did not become mentally retarded or lose control of his mind.
The fifth-circle spell, Mind Mist!
Was this a level five demon? However, Lucien had never read anything about this kind of demon in the Encyclopedia of Demons!
The eleven light balls above his head were rotating around the crystal ball, and the bright starlight illuminated a lot. However, Lucien still could not see through the mist, and he could only see what was in front of him.
Lucien cast another spell in his Powerful Fire Shield to resist energy damage, and he was very cautious about any sudden attacks from the mist.
It was very quiet here. Sound, light, and magic waves could not penetrate the mist, so Lucien did not know what was going on with Xia Lot and the others.
After the cooldown period, Lucien cast a second-circle spell in his soul: Dispel Mist!
Unlike Create Wind, this spell only worked on the naturally generated mist.
The wind was howling, and the mist started to move slowly. Lucien's surroundings became clearer and clearer.
Suddenly, two hurricanes came from the other two directions, and the mist soon disappeared. No matter whether Dispel Mist was in the soul or not, the two sorcerers who were good at fighting would definitely learn it. Besides, they were both fourth-circle sorcerers, and their dispelling effect was much better than Lucien's!
When the mist completely disappeared, Lucien saw that Xia Lot, Sandra, and Susan were all standing not far from him.
"It seems that the Mind Mist was the monster's last attack before it died. None of us were ambushed …" Sandra said to Lucien with uncertainty. Susan's mind was almost broken down by the Mind Mist and her mind was almost destroyed.
"That's impossible!" Susan shook her head with a pale face. She suddenly got rid of Sandra's hand and ran to the corner of the bookshelf.
When Xia Lot was about to grab Susan with his Force Field Hand, Susan bumped into a bronze statue in the corner of the bookshelf and started to touch the statue's ear with her hand.
As Susan twisted the ear, the wall squeaked, and a secret door was slowly opened.
According to Susan, this was a secret room built by Bertren, and the apprentices kept it a secret after they found it.
Lucien and the rest of them were not surprised by the appearance of the secret chamber. However, inside the secret chamber, there was a shivering boy who was about thirteen or fourteen years old. He was squatting on the ground with his hands covering his head, and he looked at them in fear when the door of the secret chamber was opened!
