Chapter 183: This is the mirror image of the fate of the pit father
This world is unfair.
Of course, Rhodes knows this very well, even as a player, there are local tyrant players who can spend a lot of money and poor players who can only play free characters, can't even afford souvenirs sold at official events, and fight monsters on the battlefield all day long to save money. Class is everywhere, even in online games, some people play cramps in the arena and lose in a row, and some people can casually play ten consecutive wins. However, there is another gap that cannot be ignored and is frustrating......... That's right, Rod is referring to the two "only" who are following behind at the moment!
Of course, he knew that Marlene would often go to the canary to discuss magic combat skills, and Little Bubblegum taught Lijie as carefully as if she were the heir to her mantle. After all, although the canary was born in the wild, when it comes to theory, I'm afraid it will be over in three minutes. But if it's really more than combat experience, the Serial Law Association will be completely destroyed by her. In addition to the tactic of "pig teammates" itself, Little Bubblegum is also very proficient in how to switch combat methods in various combat environments. However, Rhodes never imagined that they would be able to learn anything other than spell casting skills!!
From the player's point of view......... Well, from the player's point of view, it takes fifty to sixty skill points to raise the level of spells and swordsmanship to the master level at the same time, which means that it is at least in the early fifties. But now Marlene is only forty-eight, and even after a series of battles in the Chaos Lands, Lijie has only only risen to forty-three, not even forty-five. As a result, their swordsmanship and boxing skills can still reach the same level?
Even players have to work hard to level up and complete tasks to dig out hidden cheats to increase skill points, but can they actually practice in their hands to reach this level? The sky has no eyes!! Although the player's way of increasing the power of the skill by increasing the proficiency is already cheating, but compared to the real cheat, is it really not a level?
Of course, this is just a dissatisfied complaint in Rod's heart, although what Lijie and Marlene said is conclusive. But Rod didn't believe that the skills of the two eldest ladies could be any better. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if their swordsmanship and boxing skills really reached that level, they were just spellcasters, and they didn't have the opportunity to fight in close combat with others on weekdays. Look at the wide robes they are wearing nowβββ I'm afraid this thing will be torn apart when they run.
In any case, it can be regarded as having a certain ability to protect itself, which is much better than two people who will be killed instantly without resistance when they really face the enemy. Come to think of it. Rod can be regarded as temporarily relaxed, with Annie's protection, coupled with a certain degree of self-protection ability of the two, I am afraid that this time facing the mirror image of fate will not be as troublesome as he just imagined.
"I'll say it again."
In front of him, the corridor of the Infinity Mirror had come to an end, and the huge circular plaza that emitted a faint white glow not far away could be seen, and the mirrors floating around it that looked like they had been thrown out of the workshop without even putting on a frame, and were slowly floating in the void.
"The mirror image of your fate is a projection of yourself in another world, and it is likely that they are living a life that is completely different from yourselves. It's as if you have made your own choices in this world, and that's why you are who you are now. They are the ones who have made the opposite or different choices from you. But, no matter what they look like, don't forget that they are just a projection, like Silask, not a deity, not a living human being. Perhaps they have memories similar to yours. But don't be fooled! Do you understand? β
It's not for nothing that Rod says that, in the game. In fact, many times players play the mirror of the corridor of fate as a fun fortune-telling game. Thus the self that appears to them is the fate of another person who is completely different, and therefore everyone's past and present are different. Some mirror images of dicks who can't find girlfriends in reality may be playboys who control several women in a row in another world and can't fall with a golden gun. Some couples may even be father and daughter or mortal enemies in another world. Of course, basically players don't take this kind of thing to heart, at most it's just a joke. Therefore, in the eyes of players, Trials of Fate is more like an interesting random fortune-telling device.
But this isn't a game, Marlene. Anne and Lijie can't look at the other self in the form of a game.
After all, it is also a choice they made, although the result is completely different, but it cannot be denied, it is also themselves. The way of thinking and memories on both sides is similar. And Rhodes is also very clear that everyone has regrets in their hearts. For example, "It would be nice if I hadn't done this at the beginning" or "I made that stupid choice at that time", if the mirror image that appeared in front of them happened to be the one that "made up" their regrets, then the mental blow to the three of them was very big.
"But Commander, if they were us, why would they fight us? If it was Anne herself, she would definitely not fight with herself. β
Hearing Rod's explanation, Anne on the side tilted her head curiously and spoke.
"So I said, they are just a mirror image, a simple projection, maybe they will find a lot of reasons and excuses to have to go to war with you, but in the end, this is just the last test that the wheel of fortune has given us."
Rod paused.
The circular plaza is close in front of you, and the white stone pavement that shimmers with a faint glow looks so flawless. Soon, with the entry of the four people, the mirror fragments that were originally suspended around began to rotate rapidly, and then connected and fused together like a puzzle piece that was automatically assembled, only to see that it didn't take long for the originally broken sky to turn into a deep and dim flat mirror, and then, the dazzling light flashed.
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Not only Rod, but even Marlene, Lijie and Anne instinctively quieted down at this time, staring ahead, their eyes full of anticipation, nervousness and uneasiness. After all. Although Rhodes said that the other self was just a projection, he also did not deny that those people were also themselves, which Anne may not have noticed. But Marlene and Lijie could never have been unaware.
But unlike the other three, Rhodes at this moment frowned, cautiously thinking about the boss battle he was about to face. Now he only expects the other party to be able to randomly come up with a few law systems, if only it could be four pure law professions. Because the Wheel of Fortune has the same restrictions on both sides. Unable to use the power of the soul, nor can it use magic and psychics, it can only rely on pure physical traits and skill to fight. In this way, the low threat of a pure caster is basically equal to zero. However, Rod also knows very well that he is purely just thinking about it, and such a good thing can't fall on his head, of course.
"Dash...... Da ...... Da ........."
Footsteps rang out.
In the dark and silent mirror in front of him, an illusory black shadow appeared, and then. A voice that they were all familiar with appeared in front of everyone.
"Annie?"
Seeing the girl in front of them, Lijie and Marlene couldn't help but scream, the girl in front of them looked exactly the same as Anne, with long, blonde, silky hair, and two big, emerald green eyes. And the body that was as bumpy as ever, but ......... She is fundamentally different from the girl opposite.
Those pairs were originally smart. There was a lifeless look in the emerald green eyes that could speak, and there was no breath of a living person. Bright red and pitch black steel light armor wrapped around the girl's body. What was even more frightening was that Anne was holding two giant swords with serrated teeth and nearly two meters long. Not only that, but compared to the girl who can make people feel youthful vitality as long as she exists, Anne in front of her has a killing intent like a fierce beast, as if she is trapped in a cage. But he still stared coldly outside, waiting for a hungry wolf to pounce and bite the throat of his prey!
"Uh......... The other Anne doesn't seem to be having much fun. β
Looking at the other self in front of her, Anne couldn't help whispering. In fact, without her words, everyone could see the scars on the other Anne. It was definitely not a wound from the battle, it was more like the scar left by the disobedient pet when it was whipped by its owner, although I don't know what happened to Anne from another world, but it was certainly not a good thing.
"Anne ..............."
Seeing this scene, Lijie couldn't help but hold the hand of the girl next to her. Feeling Lijie's warmth, Anne shook her head vigorously, and then resurfaced that bright, lively smile.
"Sister Lijie don't worry about Annie, Annie will be fine. Although the other one is very pitiful, Anne is very happy and happy now. β
"Humph!!"
Hearing Anne's words, the other one she snorted coldly, although it was only a short one, but the crazy killing intent and anger mixed in it could never escape. At this moment, she was like Anne who had gone wild in the arena because of the mixture, and her whole body was full of the breath of a beast. Only destruction, shredding and destruction together. Nothing else, rejecting everything in this world, and trying to destroy all living beings' crazy killing intent.
Seeing this scene in front of them, Marlene and Lijie's originally excited mood began to become complicated at this time, the girl in front of them was obviously Anne, but it was just because of different encounters and different choices. She became like this, and asked herself, if the mirror image of their fate appeared in front of her like this, would they be able to see it as openly as Anne? Can they not care about what happened to the other self to become like this?
It's a real hassle.
But unlike Marlene and Lijie, Rhodes is not in the mood to think about that, he is not one of those sentimental women, not to mention that the other self is not himself after all, no matter how many times he has been dumped by a woman or how many harems he has nothing to do with himself? It is better to look at the situation in front of you if you have this time to be sentimental, Anne's profession is obviously a berserker, and I have to admit that this profession is as suitable for her as well as a shield warrior. But what upsets Rhodes is that Berserkers are good at attacking, Shield Warriors are good at guarding, and they originally expected Anne to be able to kill their own mirror image, but now it looks like they can be thankful for a draw. It's just that I don't know if the berserker Annie has awakened the demonic beast bloodline like the main body, if so, I'm afraid it will be even more tricky.
I just don't know what to do...............
It was at this time. A second figure appeared, and Rhodes raised his head and looked at the other man, and then, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Marlene.
However, it is different from Marlene beside herself. The silver-haired girl in front of her was wearing a red leather armor that was not revealing, but it was very conspicuous, and a bright red magic sword hung from her waist. If there is anything that the two have in common, it is that they are full of confidence, pride and perseverance. However, compared to the Snow Princess who was dressed in pure white and gold-rimmed robes beside her, that Marlene was like a burning flame.
That's really ...............
Seeing this scene in front of him, the corners of Rod's eyes twitched slightly, this form of Marlene is not unfamiliar to him. In the middle of the game. Isn't it this eldest lady who established the mercenary group composed entirely of women and is known as the queen of the mercenary world? Moreover, unlike the completely pure mages around him at the moment, if he remembered correctly, this bright red lady's profession was a magic swordsman............ In other words, at the time of the Midsummer Festival, he was drugged and was not saved by Rhodes. Is it Marlene in that time period when she was rescued by the family after she was completely broken? This is also a big trouble, but Rod knows that the combat power of the eldest lady in the game is extremely strong. In the end, in the face of the attack of the undead army, it can end in a strong self-explosion to hinder the advance of the undead army, does Marlene beside him really have a way to block the opponent's attack?
Next is Lijie, I don't know what the mirror image of Lijie's fate looks like.
Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help but be a little curious. Although Marlene and Anne's mirror fate surprised them, it was not at all expected for Rod. It's normal for Anne's strong strength to be a berserker, and the other Marlene Rod herself knows her identity and background. Finally, it is also a feeling of "everything under control". But only Lijie, and Rhodes couldn't imagine what kind of profession this cowardly girl could do in addition to being a spirit master. Isn't it going to be a thief, hahaha......... That's a really interesting tightness.
As if confirming Rod's conjecture, a silver-white light fell from the sky and slowly fell in front of Lijie. At this time, Marlene and Anne also turned their heads. Looking at the figure curiously, it seemed that they were also full of curiosity about the mirror image of Lijie's fate like Rod. This is not surprising, considering the character and strength of the two of them, it is understandable to become what they are. But Lijie's personality doesn't like to fight, so what will her fate be mirrored?
But I don't know what Lu Dao is about, at this moment, there was a sudden uneasy warning in Rod's heart, but unfortunately it was too late to βββ.
The light dissipated.
Lijie was quietly suspended in mid-air, the girl held a pure white shield in her left hand, and a long sword burning with silver-white flames in her right hand, and a pair of white and flawless wings spread out behind Lijie, exuding a holy, bright and dazzling light.
"Nima ..............."
Seeing this scene, Rod suddenly had an urge to subconsciously turn off the power. How could he have forgotten that Lijie was Lydia's half-sister, in other words, it was the former archangel who gave birth to her, and in other words, she had half of the archangel blood in her body! Therefore, it is not too simple to awaken the war angel or something!
"So, that's my ............?"
Li Jie looked at herself blankly, looking like she couldn't understand, which was not surprising, although she also knew that she had half of the angel blood in her body, but on weekdays, Li Jie still regarded herself as a human rather than an angel. At this moment, facing herself in the form of an angel, Li Jie couldn't help but be at a loss, not knowing what to do.
Now it's a big problem.
But unlike the other three, at the moment, Rhodes didn't imagine that Li Jie would awaken the identity of an angel because of something, although the wheel of fate closed the power of the soul, but the problem is that the physical fitness of the angel itself is much stronger than that of humans! In this case, don't talk about Lijie's body, even if Marlene and Anne join forces, I'm afraid they won't be able to stop her. What should I do?
Thinking of this, Rod couldn't help frowning, and glanced at the war angel carefully, and Lijie, who was a war angel, felt Rode's gaze, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at the man in front of her, and then, she showed an expression of surprise and joy.
"Mr. Rhodes! You're alive! That's great!! I thought you were killed by Sister Lydia. β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Hearing this, the remaining three people immediately turned their heads to look at themselves, and Rhodes himself couldn't help but twitch the corners of his eyesβββWhy doesn't this sound a little wrong, how far did he die in that world?" Even Lydia is going to kill herself? What a tragic unfolding is this? Never mind......... Anyway, it's not the unlucky self now.
After only struggling for a fraction of a second, in line with the principle that dead friends do not die and poor people, Rhodes quickly left behind himself who had sacrificed himself in an unfathomable fate. Next, there is the last person...............
"Knock......... Knock ........."
With the sound of heavy footsteps, a black shadow slowly walked out of the mirror behind him, and he strode in front of the four people, waving his hand at the four people in front of him with a bold smile.
"Yo, hello, the other me."
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
ββ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β
Looking at the man in front of him blankly, Marlene, Anne and Lijie couldn't help but fall into a strange silence, no wonder, the man in front of him was two meters tall, and his burly body was like a giant bear, he resisted a huge black long sword, and looked at Rhodes with a hearty smile. But here's the problem...............
"Commander, who is he?"
Anne quietly leaned over to Rod's side and asked in a low voice. But Rod did not answer Anne's inquiry immediately, but stared blankly at the man in front of him.
If you think about it, how did you forget? If the mirror image in the Wheel of Fortune itself is extracted from the fate of the Dragon Soul Continent, then isn't it natural that your own game image is also in it? But............... It's too late to say that.
"I want to die........."
Looking at the strong man in front of him who was smiling heartily at him, Rhodes clenched the long sword in his hand, and a thick killing intent emerged. (To be continued......)
