Chapter 528: Chapter 526: A Violent Approach to Solving Puzzles

Strictly speaking, these Mirror Image Guards are quite similar in function to the Demon Hunters in the real world, as both are geared towards preventing invasions.

But now that Wen Wen was being treated as an invader, he felt quite emotional about it, so he attempted to communicate with the Mirror Image Guards to avoid this meaningless fight.

"I came to this world to save people, and as soon as I rescue everyone taken by the Mirror Nightmare, I will return to my original world."

"Our enemies are the Mirror Nightmares; there’s no need to fight here..."

Before Wen Wen could finish speaking, the Mirror Image Guard attacked again, its tongue and tail transforming into long whips that lashed towards Wen Wen.

"As expected... they can’t understand what I’m saying, it seems there’s no way to communicate."

While dodging the attacks from the Mirror Image Guards, Wen Wen tried various methods to probe them.

Wen Wen finally confirmed that anything from the real world that comes into contact with the Mirror Image Guards is expelled back to reality.

Whether it was an attack formed from Supernatural Power, a normal material, or even a Supernatural Weapon.

For the Mirror World, anything from the real world is considered a contamination.

And the Mirror Image Guards are tools to eradicate this contamination; as mere tools, they rigidly complete their task without any capacity for flexibility.

After testing all possible methods, Wen Wen aimed his hand at the Mirror Image Guard, releasing countless chains that wrapped the Mirror Image Guard into a large bundle.

Wen Wen was relieved that the chains were not eroded by the Mirror Image Guard, but the feeling of binding the Mirror Image Guard was strange, as if the Sanctuary did not like this prey.

However, Wen Wen didn’t have time to study it further, and he directly dragged this Mirror Image Guard into the Sanctuary.

Because Wen Wen could sense that the space here was rapidly twisting and recombining, allowing those Mirror Image Guards that received the signal to more easily reach his location.

Therefore, Wen Wen didn’t waste any more time, and he directly pulled Meng Jiao into the Sanctuary, then set up bombs on the ground in front of him and the walls behind him, waiting for the arrival of the Mirror Image Guards.

He didn’t intend to fight those Mirror Image Guards, but he wanted to see what was different about the other Mirror Image Guards compared to the one he had captured.

Soon, more than ten Mirror Image Guards appeared one after another, surrounding Wen Wen with a menacing look.

All these Mirror Image Guards were sharply defined, with skin like mirrors, but their body builds were mostly different; some looked like humans, some like wild beasts, and some like machines.

"Humans... should not exist..."

"Expel... purify..."

These Mirror Image Guards kept speaking in a voice that scraped like metal, repeating these phrases.

Although they looked different, their intelligence seemed to be at the same level.

After a quick observation, Wen Wen detonated the bombs he had set up earlier, blowing up one side of the wall, and then jumped to the other side.

The fierce Mirror Image Guards, eager to proceed, did not cross the wall Wen Wen had blown open.

Indeed, for these Mirror Image Guards, even without the walls, each block of the giant Magic Cube maze was still isolated from each other, only specific pathways allowed for passage.

Having discerned this, Wen Wen immediately detonated the other bombs he had planted in that room, leaving the Mirror Image Guards in a mess of dust and debris.

Afterward, he nonchalantly walked away from those Mirror Image Guards, starting to break through the maze in a rather violent manner.

Perhaps it wasn’t so much deciphering as it was destruction.

In every room he reached, he left a spatial mark, then furiously broke through the walls to reach other rooms.

If this huge maze could be freely reconfigured, then Wen Wen would break through every single block until there were no new rooms left. That would be when Wen Wen found the Mirror Nightmare!

Listening to the thunderous roars and sensing his painstakingly constructed maze continuously deteriorating, Mirror Nightmare felt his heart spasmodically twitching.

His face twisted grotesquely, the wrinkles born out of his fierce expression looking nearly capable of trapping flies.

"Damn it, why can’t he just decode the maze honestly?"

"Why can he move through the maze in this manner?"

"What on earth is he!"

Mirror Nightmare didn’t know that if Wen Wen hadn’t been concerned about the souls of the young girls in the maze, he would have already blown the entire maze sky-high, instead of playing hide and seek here.

The array of bombs that Wen Wen had purchased at great cost, rivaling an arsenal, were not just for show in a bag.

Guo Shengye also sensed that something was off, walked up behind Mirror Nightmare, patted his shoulder, and sincerely said, "My friend... is it that troublesome guy you mentioned who has attacked?"

"I don’t want that sketchbook anymore. He can have whatever he wants, as long as the two of us are here, we can make a comeback."

Mirror Nightmare shook his head and said, "Now even if I give in, I fear they won’t stop there... But don’t worry, this is my home ground, he won’t find us."

...

The booming sound of bombs lasted for hours on end.

Wen Wen grew more and more vigorous as he bombed, originally just using bombs, but later diversely mischievously altering his approach.

Some rooms were enveloped in a white halo after being bombed, others were frosty, and some were filled with a dense poisonous fog.

He turned the vast maze into a testing ground, experimenting with many abilities that had previously been inconvenient to use.

As he bombed, Wen Wen had new discoveries, gaining a profound understanding of bombs.

From merely placing and detonating bombs to knowing how to use the smallest amount of explosives in the most strategic locations to achieve maximal impact.

If he were to go back, to recapture Tao Qingqing, he wouldn’t need to set up an ambush and lay out plans again; he would just need a little trap with bombs to render her powerless to resist without killing her.

After all, even a bomb fanatic wouldn’t have the opportunity to indulge in using bombs as extravagantly as Wen Wen.

In the process of bombarding, Wen Wen also found several abducted young girls’ souls, transferring them all to the Sanctuary.

However, even changing his methods of bombing, after several hours of continuous detonations, Wen Wen grew tired of it.

The maze was too large; it was a wonder how Mirror Nightmare managed to create something of this magnitude.

As the destroyer, Wen Wen was tired of playing, and Mirror Nightmare, bearing the destruction, was even more miserable.

Wen Wen could distinctly feel that the movement of the maze was slowing down, and he was getting closer to the core of the maze.

He was about to catch Mirror Nightmare!
