At this time, though the Mirror World was still clearly visible, some parts of it were already shattered, and of the two demigods who had been fighting there, only the Demoness demigod remained.
Lady Melanie was in a wretched state, blood flowing from her mouth, yet she chuckled, covering her bleeding lips with her right hand as if nothing had happened, as if she had accomplished something extraordinary. Fulen took one look and knew this person clearly had some mental issues.
However, before Lady Melanie could laugh for long, a mirror suddenly shattered, and a much more wretched middle-aged man emerged. Yet, 'wretched' wasn't quite the right word, because he resembled a Robot; where there were Burning marks, instead of bare bones, there were black, mechanical bone-like structures.
A section of the middle-aged man's head, marked by Burning, exposed a gleaming white skull of unknown material, with blue frost adhering to it. He asked emotionlessly, "Something happy? Tell me about it!"
Before Lady Melanie could answer, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly changed: "The barrier has a hole? You have reinforcements?"
Lady Melanie didn't respond, still just chuckling, but her expression grew more serious as she said, "Stacy, you go first!"
Stacy knew she was just a weakness in a demigod's battlefield, so she gritted her teeth and said nothing, taking Fulen and leaving.
As soon as Stacy left, Lady Melanie finally stopped laughing, speaking with the vexed anger of someone whose schemes had been seen through: "You also have an angel as reinforcement?"
Indeed, Lady Melanie's composure all this time was due to the Demoness Sect taking this operation quite seriously, not wanting to lose a demigod over it. Thus, an angel from the Demoness Sect personally covered Lady Melanie and Stacy.
However, the Demoness Sect's main goal was to turn the tables and kill the Iron and Blood Cross Order demigod who might break the agreement and act, and at the same time, use this to fully engage in war with the Iron and Blood Cross Order to achieve their goal of establishing themselves in Trier. But they hadn't expected the Iron and Blood Cross Order, known for its recklessness and strength, to play such a treacherous trick, letting the Steam Church fight the Demoness Sect first.
"Didn't they say the Iron and Blood Cross Order had dedicated all their brains to their Lord?" Lady Melanie gritted her teeth in anger, but now she still had to face the wrath of the opposing demigod first.
Leaving that aside, Fulen was grabbed by the neck by Stacy and brought to a real world location of unknown whereabouts. At this moment, Stacy seemed invigorated, clearly having relieved all her pent-up frustration. She inflicted many non-fatal but painful viruses on Fulen, while watching his painful struggles with folded arms.
Stacy was now in a safe environment. This was a safe place Lady Melanie and Stacy had discussed before the operation, equivalent to a fallback location if the mission failed. It could only be reached through the Mirror World.
The exterior of this villa was filled with treacherous methods set up by a demigod Demoness; even other demigods would have to shed a layer of skin to break through. And the Mirror World's passage had long since been made traceless by the Demoness who was the Mirror World's master. So, from every angle, all Stacy needed to do now was wait for the final outcome.
However, this composed state of mind collapsed when Stacy joyfully looked around the room. She saw a person sitting in the room, dressed in red, tall, and exuding an Iron and Blood serious demeanor. Even sitting in a chair, he sat upright, without the slightest hint of slackness.
After Stacy looked over, this man saluted expressionlessly and said, "Graham Dexter."
Stacy ignored the man's actions, only gritting her teeth and saying, "Iron and Blood Cross Order!"
Graham Dexter didn't care about Stacy's tone, speaking as if reading an order: "My mission this time is to kill the Demoness Sect's Demoness here, and if Fulen Abraham is not dead, to retrieve him."
He looked at Stacy with piercing eyes and said, "Miss, you don't need to try anymore. I am not a Sequence 5 Reaper; I am an Iron-Blooded Knight. Your viruses are completely useless. If you are smart, you should commit suicide. That is how the weak should be."
Stacy did not refute, but she did not need to launch an attack against someone she could not defeat. Not to mention the spirituality she had expended to escape the Machinery Hivemind's team leader, just the fact that she had no Saint-level extraordinary materials or Sealed Artifact meant Stacy held no hope of resisting the opponent.
However, this did not mean Stacy had no way to make the other party's efforts come to naught.
"You also want the Abraham Family's collection? Hehe, even if I die, I won't let you have your way! It's a pity, I can only kill one person for you, Miss Heidi Lin, it's truly upsetting, but we're going to the Primordial One together, so you won't be lonely!" Stacy used all her spirituality to condense an ice arrow covered in black flames, shooting it towards Fulen.
Fulen had no time to react. His body was in constant pain, and even hearing Stacy and Graham discussing him like cargo, he couldn't refute. Now, his spirituality constantly warned him of the danger of that thing, but Fulen didn't even have the strength to turn over, only able to watch death approach.
The speed of this arrow, in both Fulen's and Stacy's eyes, was like lightning. But the arrow's speed alone could not make Graham despair. Graham unhurriedly moved in front of the arrow, arriving just as the arrow reached one body length from him.
Without any action, Graham simply turned into steel, and the arrow, which had condensed most of Stacy's spirituality, didn't even cause a ripple. Graham spoke as if stating a truth: "Flames are our domain. Your black flames are good, but still useless. Come, look at my flames!"
Graham casually threw out a flame arrow even more powerful than the black flame ice arrow Stacy had created. Stacy's face showed despair as she continuously used Mirror Substitution and Staff Substitution, and even tried to hide in a mirror. But no matter where Stacy fled, the flame arrow relentlessly pursued her, and in front of the Iron-Blooded Knight's upgraded "Fatal Strike," the Demoness's life-saving methods were a joke.
After a silent Burning, the Demoness named Stacy disappeared from this world forever. Graham, who had thrown the flame arrow, didn't even look at Stacy after throwing it, but instead reached out to grab Fulen.
Although the Mysticism Virus in Fulen's body disappeared after Stacy's death, the various symptoms caused by the virus still left Fulen extremely weak, only able to watch the approaching hand of the opponent.
