1000 Years Later, Even My Weakest Follower Has Become A Demon King-Chapter 155 - 155 Mirror Shadow and Plan
155 Mirror Shadow and Plan
After ‘Liliana’ knocked down the future dead man with Sleep, she stroked her messy collar and hair. Instantly, their outlines swayed like candlelight before automatically returning to their previous neat appearance.
“How tasteless, how tasteless…”
‘She’ whispered. This time, the voice in her throat turned into a weak girl’s voice again.
With that said, ‘she’ raised the iron plate hanging on her chest and studied it for a while. She saw an extremely subtle and imperceptible crack appear on the iron plate pattern.
As expected, even if it was forged with a large number of precious materials, this response terminal’s durability would be reduced if it released other spells while constantly bearing the burden of a Divine Realm spell.
Mirror Shadow was a Divine Realm illusion. It produced a phantom of a small creature that listened to the caster.
Although it could interact with reality, it was still an ethereal illusion.
This was another very powerful spell in the plot, but it was extremely useless in-game. William could use this spell to replicate the mirror image of any creature that didn’t exceed a certain size—including a person, and it could be anyone.
This mirror image had a basic interface that replicated 80% of the main body, but it would also suffer 150% damage. If it received a Light or Shadow-type attack, the damage would double.
This replicated mirror image could be controlled by the caster himself, or it could instinctively imitate the original owner’s movements, but it couldn’t use any spells. This was because all spells could only be activated through a person’s will, and mirror images didn’t have a will.
Just the interface alone made the use of this spell extremely limited.
Phantoms were naturally prone to damage, so as a meat shield, they were far inferior to summoned creatures of the same level. As for its damage output, it was even more awkward—be it a Mage, Pledger, Spellblade, Sagewhisper, Demon Summoner… None of the classes in this game relied on an interface to deal damage. ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
Therefore, other than replicating himself and using it to confuse a Boss, there didn’t seem to be any other use for Mirror Shadow.
Even after transmigrating, it was useless for William to develop the functionality of this spell.
Due to the nature of illusions, these illusions could only last for short periods. Although he could continuously cast spells to maintain them, this was equivalent to holding the mirror image by the main body’s side with a chain, losing the greatest value as an extension of his strength.
However, after William discovered the Eighth Holy Spirit’s figurines, or rather, the function of the response terminals, this originally useless spell took a turn.
Although the phantom couldn’t use spells, William’s main body could cast spells through the response terminal. Moreover, the most troublesome endurance problem could be resolved through continuous casting through the response terminal.
Liliana, who had been ‘kidnapped’ by the Restorationists, was a phantom created by William’s Mirror Shadow and maintained through the response terminal.
William didn’t take the Restorationists’ retaliation to heart. It was better to say that this matter had been part of his plan since he let Jesse off and sent the Death Spirit to monitor him.
However, the Restorationists took far longer to prepare than he had guessed, and the preparations they made were far more adequate than he had guessed from the beginning. More importantly, he had completely angered many Void Sovereigns at Black Crow Gaze. It was difficult to say if They wouldn’t take this opportunity to prepare a surprise for him.
Not to mention that the coup chosen by the Restorationists was April Fool’s Day. It was the summoning day of Absurdity Jester Valk. William wouldn’t believe it if He would choose not to do something on this day.
After comprehensive consideration, William planned on helping with the coup. It could also be used to test the use of his Mirror Shadow spell and the response terminal.
Therefore, he specially used Mirror Shadow to replace Liliana, who had left, and infiltrated them as insurance.
“Sleep in peace until the guillotine tomorrow.”
William controlled the illusion and cast another Sleep spell on Jesse, who was lying on the ground, through the iron token on the chest.
…
“The Calamity hasn’t returned to Thorn City yet,” above the Lake of Entropy, the weak female voice from before spoke again.
“I’m very curious. Wouldn’t it be very awkward for you if he didn’t return and chose to continue guarding the Viper Scar?” another delighted chuckle asked.
Compared to the trivialities in the Rose Palace, the Moon Realm rift in Viper Scar was the true threat to the Calamity.
If They wanted to kill the Calamity in Currere, other than completely blocking the other party’s path of retreat and expending an endless number of armies in a round-robin fight, existences that could pose a threat to him personally needed to at least reach the Demon General level.
However, be it Demon Generals or Void Incarnations created by the Void Sovereign, other than some extremely special methods, they had to pass through the Moon Realm rift to step into Currere.
Therefore, what the Calamity had been doing during this period was guarding the vicinity of the Moon Realm rift in Viper Scar to prevent it from continuing to expand which could lead to a destructive existence from the Moon Realm stepping into Currere.
In comparison, the matters in Thorn City weren’t worth mentioning.
“If he doesn’t come over, I’ll get Erosion to collapse the Stranger Lighthouse and add another Moon Realm rift to Thorn City,” Camilla replied coldly.
“Therefore, if he doesn’t come over, it will be opening another Stranger Scar, causing him to be even shorter on manpower. If he comes over, even if he dodges the Blade of Nirvana’s assassination, you can take this opportunity to expand the scale of Viper Scar and make the other Demon Generals under you or even your incarnation descend to Currere. Without Judgment 7, the Calamity won’t be able to banish you. Impressive. From the looks of it, you won this round either way,” Valk concluded. With that said, applause sounded.
Although his words sounded like praise, his tone was filled with mockery.
“It’s a disgrace that so much scheming is needed by us to deal with a mortal even if it’s a win,” Camilla replied.
“Don’t say that. A few of our friends became powerful by constantly scheming against mortals.”
Valk didn’t continue on this topic. Instead, He changed the topic.
“By the way, aren’t you worried about the price you have to pay for violating the treaty by openly violating the terms of the Astral Treaty and overturning the lighthouse before the stars align?”
“You’re reminding me of this? The one who overturned the Viper Lighthouse?” Camilla replied.
“Sometimes, some sacrifices are needed for the sake of a good show. Moreover, as an audience, it’s not a huge loss for me even if I’m restricted from walking on stage. It’s fine as long as the acting is good,” the other party replied.
However, Camilla only sneered at Valk’s words as if She didn’t believe Him.
After a while, She slowly said, “I didn’t violate any treaty. I’m just taking back what I deserve.”
