Chapter 202: Chapter 202 – Holy Sword of Spine, Lost Vision

When the restraining effect of [Iron Chain Fingers] wore off, the Mirror Princess had lost 9% of its health!

With a total of 78 people, the Watchmen of the Federation had more firepower than the mages—but that was just when comparing firepower alone. Taking their capabilities like defense power, evade ability, and survival ability into account, they were merely fodders in that boss battle.

With the help of the powerful equipment of modern warfare, Ren Suo knew that the duration of that battle would be greatly reduced. In other words, there was a greater room for error.

The mode of attack of the Mirror Princess signaled to Caroline and the rest of them that they should remain behind the Mirror Princess, as commanded. At the same time, the black-haired mage naturally joined Red Hood in eliminating the Dwarves as quickly as possible.

The Dwarves also reflected physical damage dealt to them, but the mages had attribute spells and Holy Light bullets, which both dealt attribute damage instead. With the help of restraint offerings such as [Roots of Uncontrollable Growth], it did not take a long time before the mages eliminated all of the Dwarves.

However, when the apple-like Dwarves were killed, there was no option for salvation or sacrifice; instead, they would be recalled back by the Mirror Princess.

The Mirror Princess said in a clear and crisp voice: [We are all reflections of others…]

The apple-like Mirror Dwarves decorated the mirror of the Mirror Princess and began shooting rapid rays of light that pierced through its enemies!

Although the Mirror Dwarves were yet another mode of damage output of the Mirror Princess, it was much better than having the Mirror Dwarves walking about. When all seven Mirror Dwarves were eliminated, it essentially turned into a game of cat and mouse.

No one should remain in front of the Mirror Princess, so everyone hid behind it, waiting for it to shoot a beam of light before attacking it!

When the health of the Mirror Princess dropped to 70%, its head-turning and movement speed suddenly increased. Watchmen members who were supporting the fight from afar suffered injuries for the first time in that battle, but fortunately, they were saved from death’s door by Elaine and the black-haired mage, who were both Holy Hand mages. Although they could no longer continue participating in the battle, they could at least move along with the rest of the team.

When the health of the Mirror Princess fell below 50%, its movement speed and attack frequency increased again. It suddenly turned its entire body around and said:

[Are you the most beautiful in this world?]

That was highly likely to be an ultimate attack of the Mirror Princess. Without any hesitation, Ren Suo activated [Iron Chain Fingers] for the second time, and it perfectly coincided with the moment the Mirror Princess launched its attack!

Caroline looked back in surprise at the black-haired mage and exclaimed: [Your hand—!]

The black-haired mage bellowed: [Fire now!].

Another barrage of ammunition rained down on the Mirror Princess, and the three other mages also tried their best to attack it. At that juncture, Red Hood said: [I will restrain it the next time.]

As ice crystals shot out from her staff, Lumpena also said expressionlessly: [I’ll restrain it the next, next time.]

Elaine added: [Finally, I will restrain it, too.] She lifted her Giant Cow Axe and swung it at the mirror on the head of the Mirror Princess, carving out a wound where black-colored blood flowed out of.

The black-haired mage replied: [I will deal with it completely, you don’t have to fight to do any of that.]

I will end the love between the game characters myself!

At that juncture, the black-haired mage controlled his right hand—with only one finger segment left—and dug out his right eye from his right eye socket!

With his own hands, his bloody eyeball was brutally ripped from its adjoining nerves. The people around him watched in utter horror as the black-haired mage raised his right hand and crushed his eyeball with the remaining segment of his finger!

Forbidden Spell, [Summon of the Eye Devils]!

By sacrificing his own eyeball, ten Eye Devils that could emit powerful beams were summoned. In the game, the effect of removing his own eyeball was portrayed as a greatly reduced vision—only a small area in the center of the screen could be seen.

However, that was already sufficient!

The Eye Devils, which were about the same size as a human head, circled behind the black-haired mage. They took aim at the Mirror Princess and at the same time, shot continuous rays of white-colored, murky… tears!

Hit by the tears, the Mirror Princess suddenly let out a shrill cry!

[Mother— Why—]

The tears that splashed onto its mirror formed traces of white imprints on it, and black-colored blood poured from the wounds. Sizzling, roasting sounds echoed through the arena. The Mirror Princess appeared to have suffered massive damage, and it fell directly to the ground!

The Forbidden Spell of the Eye was acquired from Lumpena in the second arena. The damage dealt by this Forbidden Spell was actually lower than [Breath of Fire Skin], but it had lesser side effects, which was why Ren Suo chose to use that Forbidden Spell first.

Nonetheless, the Forbidden Spell was unexpectedly very effective against the boss of the third arena!

That was completely a coincidence, but Ren Suo immediately thought that it could be due to a hidden setting of the game. Certain offerings could target the weaknesses of the boss to deal a great amount of damage, but the only question was if Ren Suo could figure which offerings they were.

After all, there were only a few Forbidden Spells which required the sacrifice of a human body part. As such, Ren Suo was already very fortunate to have encountered a boss which was weak to human-type Forbidden Spells.

After all the tears of the Eyes poured out, the remaining health of the Mirror Princess also dropped to 30%!

“Again!”

Ren Suo did not hesitate. He controlled the black-haired mage to pull out his left eyeball and crushed it again!

Although doing that would cause him to lose his vision completely, the Mirror Princess was still being restrained. It was perfectly possible to shoot blind!

Caroline’s voice was heard from in front of the mage: [Your eyes!]

The mage replied: [It’s alright!]

Another round of shooting tears ensued. Although the restraining effect of Mage’s Iron Chain of Fingers had worn off, the Mirror Princess still fell to the ground from the attack of the tears. The screen was plunged in total darkness, and Ren Suo could only hear countless bullets being ignited in their cartridges.

He could also see dialogue boxes popping out—

[Why is it still not dead?!]

After a few seconds, the voice of the Mirror Princess sounded again: [Crying? I want to cry too… but I can’t cry anymore!]

“It’s about to stand up! The mirror is shining too!”

Red Hood exclaimed: [It’s about to stand up! The mirror is starting to glow!]

Lumpena said: [I can afford one eyeball.]

Elaine said: [My Holy Hand can be abandoned any time!]

Ren Suo controlled the black-haired mage to move forward. Although his vision was lost completely, in the third-person perspective on the screen, the position of the black-haired mage was still shown as a thick white line.

Other voices ‘appeared’ on the screen: [Hurry, leave the battlefield now], [We will finish it off]…

In the midst of the darkness of the screen, the voice and dialogue box of the black-haired mage was contrastingly resounding: [From the beginning of time, there has never been a mage who would live without fulfilling his purpose; on the battlefield, only mages who sacrificed themselves would remain!]

When the black-haired mage came into contact with the Mirror Princess, its remaining health was displayed: 14%.

Caroline seemed to be holding the black-haired mage back and the dialogue box appeared right behind the mage: [Its mirror is pointing at you, Sir Mage! Leave now!]

However, the black-haired mage was unmoved and said: [I will protect you, and everyone else.]

Forbidden Spell [Holy Sword of Spine], activate!

Even though the screen was pitch black, Ren Suo could still see the white lines forming the figure of the mage. He raised his hands and dug his hand into the back of his neck. He grabbed the spine as he shrieked in agony.

[Ahhh—-]

With a forceful tug, he pulled his spine out from his body. It turned into a huge sword, and he swung it towards the Mirror Princess in front of him!

That was a new Forbidden Spell he had acquired from Elaine, and coincidentally, he could try it out on the Mirror Princess. It did not matter if that failed since Ren Suo still had [Breath of Flaming Skin]!

However, the effect of the Holy Sword of Spine appeared to be more terrifying than Ren Suo had imagined. On the screen, all the dialogue boxes and voices were swept away by the purple glow of the sword—the sound of the sword plunging deep into the Mirror Princess and tearing its body apart overwhelmed the others’ voices!

The Holy Sword of Spine could only be used to attack once, but it disregarded all attack debuffs and was not possible to be avoided!

Following the chain of attribute attacks from the other mages, the Mirror Princess was continuously depleted of her health and finally, she had 0 health remaining!

At the same time, as the Holy Sword vanished from the hand of the black-haired mage, he also collapsed lifelessly on the ground, just like a human would without a spine.
