Chapter 347: Chapter 122 Mirror of Illusion Colors

"I’m very grateful that you’re willing to offer me help, lovely Miss Vivian."

Anvis gave her a very formal noble’s bow to express his gratitude as he smiled and gazed at the young player girl, whose eyes were a mingling of gold and purple and who seemed somewhat reluctant.

Gazing into the boy’s eyes as deep as the night sky, Xia Ye Yinghuo was suddenly bright-eyed. Even after many encounters, the boy’s charming smile was something she could never tire of.

In fact, since the release of "Mysterious Era," there has been private customization of game character posters and figurines available offline.

Providing screenshots and videos from the game is all it takes to produce the finished goods.

Moreover, some enthusiasts have compiled a list of the most popular game characters on the forums, further divided into specific rankings for male/female/unisex.

Anvis, due to his background as a Duke’s son and high Charm Value, secured the twenty-sixth position on the list, courtesy of his profile released by the White Light Club and a side-profile screenshot, even with his current high difficulty of access.

As someone with a great appreciation for appearances, Xia Ye Yinghuo also had posters and figurines of her ’New Player Guide NPC’ made.

However, no matter how finely crafted the figurines were, they could never match the refinement of the ’NPCs’ in the game.

Ah, how I wish I could feel the real thing! It would be perfect if only there were no anti-harassment system!

Amidst various wild fantasies, the girl had subconsciously put aside the slight displeasure caused by Anvis’s mandatory task.

"So, how has Miss Lorna been doing recently?"

Seeing his tool regain her spirits, Anvis smiled and shifted the topic.

"Lorna? She said she’s very thankful for your help back then. It’s just that there are too many strangers here, and she doesn’t really want to come out."

At Anvis’s inquiry, Xia Ye Yinghuo conveyed Lorna’s words.

"My mentor made a talisman for me that prevents those bad people from noticing Lorna."

With that, the young player girl showed off a Magic Talisman pinned at her collar.

It was a Secret Magic Artifact specially crafted by her mentor, Sai the Star Chaser, the Secret Star Scholar, tailored to her circumstances.

Once worn, it could completely conceal the strange aura attached to her that was Lorna, preventing her from being targeted as a moving experimental subject as before.

"Right, Anvis, there’s something else!"

Just as she spoke, Xia Ye Yinghuo suddenly remembered something.

"Lorna just told me that there’s something wrong with this Black Bell, and it’s becoming more and more problematic! We might be better off leaving sooner rather than later..."

Her voice trailed off as she reached the last sentence, and she sneakily glanced at Anvis, afraid that he might be displeased by her suggestion.

After extensive gaming, she would unconsciously assume her identity in this world, which made her feel slightly constrained when facing Anvis.

The bell is problematic?

"Are you sure, Miss Vivian?"

After exchanging a quick look with Claire, Anvis’s expression turned serious.

Both were well aware of Lorna’s true identity as a mystical threat.

Currently, the Magic World’s perception of mystical threats is limited, but one thing is certain — they can sense things that ordinary Spellcasters cannot.

Something that would cause Lorna to feel uneasy...

"Really, Anvis... oh, Lorna said, it seems like something is about to emerge!!"

She nodded, pausing for a moment, then her tone suddenly became slightly panicked.

Upon hearing this, the first instinct of the two was to quickly leap away from the altar.

As they left, Anvis did not forget to take the girl, who was standing still in a daze, with him to prevent her from dying accidentally.

As the two of them jumped, including Rein, the others seemed to have also realized something and leaped at the same time.

Just as everyone had left the space above the altar, a turbid stream of seven colors suddenly overflowed from the body of the clock.

The colors resembled the bizarre, multicolored sheen of an oil slick under the sunlight, as if multiple cans of paint had been knocked over, spilling their contents in a messy splash.

A few students who remained on the altar also realized something was wrong, but by then, it was too late—

One student, his face stricken with terror, tried to flee, but found that his body suddenly refused to obey him, and he could only watch helplessly as the strange colors slowly crept over him.

Then, before the eyes of all, he melted into a more intense hue, blending into the river of color that had gathered on the altar.

Anvis remembered this student; he was one of Rein’s two male companions from before.

This magnificent yet terrifying scene was now repeating itself on the altar. Many students who had failed to escape in time were transforming into thick colorful fluids, merging into the altar.

After the color had spread across the entire altar, it seemed to trigger some mechanism that stopped it from spreading further.

Then, all the colors began to slowly retract towards the center, gradually converging at the base opening of the large clock, forming a circular colored mirror surface.

The moment the mirror surface formed, Rein, who was originally beneath the altar, suddenly moved and rushed towards the mirror, and then his entire person disappeared into it.

Seeing this, the others were startled and simultaneously hesitated about whether to rush in as well.

Of course, Anvis, who had been watching him closely, did not hesitate. As the Child of Destiny related to this ruin, Rein must have felt something.

Anvis was now able to faintly sense a familiar aura emanating from behind the mirror surface.

That was the aura of the Dream World—

"Claire, Vivian, I’m going to explore what’s inside the colorful mirror surface. If you do not wish to go, you can wait outside."

"No, Anvis, I think there might be some interesting discoveries inside. For an Explorer, an opportunity to explore such ruins should not be missed."

Claire shook her head, refusing to stay outside just because of the danger.

"What about you, Vivian? Are you willing to come with me?"

Nodding her head, Anvis glanced at a certain Player girl from the corner of his eye.

"I don’t... no, of course... I would very much like to go with you."

Being observed by Anvis’s gaze, the girl, who was extremely afraid of death, spoke against her will, her face filled with feigned joy.

"Since that’s the case, could you do me a favor, Senior Claire?"

With these words, Anvis took off a Space Ring from his hand and handed it to Claire.

"Since I am not here with my real body, I am not sure if my avatar can pass through the mirror surface normally.

If I can enter and explore successfully, then give me the ring after we’re inside. If I lose the connection completely, then you can use the supplies inside for yourself."

"Alright, Anvis."

Claire nodded, took the ring without demurring, and accepted the task.

Boom boom boom—

At that moment, the entire cave hall shook without warning.

"Then, let’s go together—"

Feeling dubious about the shaking of the hall, the three of them no longer hesitated and, like Rein before them, rushed into the mirror surface together.

After the three figures vanished, the color of the mirror surface visibly lightened.

This change shocked the remaining students in the hall, and then it dawned on them: the number of people that could pass through the mirror was limited!

Several students, including Roche and his group, immediately made up their minds and started to rush into it, vying with each other.

As more and more people entered, the color of the mirror surface quickly faded, and eventually, it vanished completely.
