Chapter 234: What Are You Doing?
The eyes in the mirror stared in shock at Viktor who had suddenly appeared in this void space.
His black coat fluttered in the air as a chill flashed through his eyes.
Black pillars of fire rose from the ground, their scorching light reflecting on his face.
"How... how is this possible?"
"Everyone has forgotten about her, why... why do you still remember?"
The mirror's voice trembled slightly, the purple light in its eyes flickering erratically.
It couldn't understand.
But soon, it no longer needed to understand.
In Viktor's eyes, an intense flame ignited.
The next second, fire pillars erupted as a terrifying aura burst forth.
A storm appeared from nowhere and merged completely with the fire pillars, frantically swirling around the mirror.
Like a sharp spear, it instantly pierced through the mirror's surface!
Crack—
The mirror was severely damaged and began to shatter.
The surrounding void started to crumble like broken glass, gradually peeling away.
The world began to distort, endless void swirling as space itself shattered.
Bang!
A crisp shattering sound rang in Lia's ears, followed by a blinding flash of white light.
Her consciousness suddenly sank.
As if her body was falling from the sky, her consciousness returned to herself.
At this moment, Lia opened her eyes.
A natural freshness entered her nostrils.
It was the mixed scent of grass and soil.
The grass swayed with the breeze, creating waves of rustling sounds.
The dense tree branches began to sway as sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on half of Lia's face.
The quiet Kravina mansion stood before her, towering in place.
Lia looked at the grass beneath her, gradually coming to her senses.
She slowly stood up, dusting off the soil from her clothes, gazing at the familiar mansion.
"I'm... home?"
Viktor's footsteps sounded beside her ear, accompanied by the crisp breaking of wild grass.
He stood with his hands in his pockets, calmly looking ahead.
"Yes, we're back."
Lia blinked, taking in the familiar surroundings.
She clenched her hands, clearly feeling that sense of familiarity.
She had truly returned.
But Lia still couldn't quite understand, raising her head to look at Viktor, she asked:
"But... what about that mirror?"
"I destroyed it."
Viktor's voice was calm, showing no ripples that Lia could detect.
"Don't worry, you won't encounter something like this again."
Lia turned back, looking at Viktor puzzled.
"Can I really not worry?"
Suddenly, Viktor reached out a hand.
He gently placed it on Lia's head, stroking back and forth.
"From now on, I'll live with you in Bryston."
"I'll resign from my professor position."
Lia looked at Viktor, emotion showing in her eyes.
"Viktor, you..."
Viktor lowered his head to look at her.
Lia gazed at his eyes in a daze, asking:
"Can you... hug me?"
Viktor calmly nodded.
"If it's your request, I can."
Then, he opened his arms.
Lia's cheeks turned slightly red, but she still threw herself into Viktor's embrace, burying her head in his chest,
Her arms wrapped around Viktor's back.
And then...
Pfft...
Blood spurted from the corner of Viktor's mouth.
His eyes were filled with shock as he looked down at Lia.
But he couldn't see her expression.
Lia had buried her face in his chest, and in her right hand, a dagger had appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
The cold blade had been forcefully thrust into Viktor's back.
Then, Lia pulled out the dagger, its cold gleam now stained with blood.
Pfft!
Another vicious stab!
An alarming amount of blood suddenly burst from Viktor's chest, flowing down with gravity in streams.
The hot blood fell to the ground, soaking the entire grassland.
Viktor looked at Lia in disbelief, his mouth open but unable to speak a word.
Only his lips moved, but Lia could read them clearly:
'W...h...y.'
Thud!
Lia coldly watched as Viktor fell to the ground.
Her cheeks were splattered with blood, her arms and clothes equally stained red.
But she showed no emotion as she bent down and placed the dagger on the ground in front of Viktor.
Looking at the "Viktor" who died with eyes wide open, Lia spoke softly:
"You shouldn't have."
"You shouldn't have made 'Viktor' be so kind to me."
The surrounding scene once again began to shatter and peel away.
This time, the scenery changed again.
Lia stood outside the study door.
In her hands was the contract she was supposed to give to Viktor.
This was the professor contract for the Royal Magic Academy that she and Gwen had pulled many strings to arrange for Viktor, aiming to have the academy protect him and minimize the scandal about his harassment of the duke's daughter.
Lia took a deep breath and pushed open the study door.
Viktor was sitting quietly at his desk, holding a book in both hands, reading.
Without looking up, sensing someone's arrival, he asked:
"What is it?"
"Mm, something very important."
Lia tore up the contract in her hands,
And pulled out a dagger from her sleeve.
She gripped the dagger and smiled sweetly at "Viktor" before her.
"I've come to take your life."
......
In the pitch-black void space.
Countless smooth mirrors surrounded Viktor on all sides.
The mirror surfaces completely reflected Viktor's form.
In the back-and-forth reflections of the mirrors, it seemed as if thousands of him were looking at himself simultaneously.
Viktor stood there with his hands in his pockets, as if standing in a maze of mirrors.
"Want to make a bet?"
"Viktor's" voice came from the mirrors.
Viktor narrowed his eyes, looking at the several versions of himself in the mirrors making the same movements.
"Using my face and voice to imitate me."
"You disgust me."
But Viktor's words didn't shame the mirror. Instead, that laughter belonging to "Viktor" continued:
"So what? You can't kill me."
"I am a mirror, as long as there is light reflection, I won't die."
"Even your father couldn't destroy me."
With those words, countless "Viktors" walked out from the surrounding mirrors.
They all wore the same black coat and had their hands in their pockets, but their expressions were all different.
Playful, happy, sad, angry...
"So, come make a bet with me."
"If you win, I'll let you go and leave this place."
Viktor's expression remained very calm, completely unmoved.
"You mean, return to reality?"
"Of course."
The "Viktor" from the mirror nodded with arms crossed.
"Although I don't know how you got in here, but if you lose, then."
The "Viktors" grinned, their smiles arrogant.
"I'll keep you here forever."
"To be forgotten by everyone for eternity."
Viktor gave a light chuckle and said softly:
"You think you already have victory in hand?"
The "Viktors" straightened their expressions, mimicking Viktor's actions and expression.
"Right now, your sister is in the world I created for her, killing one version of you after another."
"She believes everything here is fake."
At this point, the "Viktors'" gaze turned forward.
All the surrounding scenery changed again, becoming the vast backyard of the Kravina mansion.
But different from before, dozens of Viktors stood in the same place.
Viktor looked at the surroundings, then heard a voice:
"Look forward to it, look forward to your sister finding the real you."
"But don't let her actually kill you, okay?"
The mirror's sharp laughter rang out with giggles.
Then, Lia appeared before Viktor.
Her entire body was covered in red blood.
It was the blood of countless dead Viktors.
She looked at the dozens of Viktors before her, almost instinctively raising her dagger.
Soon, Lia walked up to those Viktors.
They seemed to offer no resistance, allowing Lia to slit their throats one by one.
One, two, three...
As the "Viktors" gradually fell, finally, Lia came before Viktor.
Without any hesitation, she aimed the dagger at Viktor's face and brought it down sharply.
But Viktor didn't even blink.
At the instant the dagger was about to touch Viktor's body.
Lia's hand stopped.
The dagger fell to the ground with a clang.
Her gaze met Viktor's eyes.
There was a hint of tenderness in her eyes.
"Brother..."
"I found you."
Crack—
Almost as soon as the words fell.
Lia's body, like a mirror surface, began to shatter.
The next second, the entire world completely shattered once again.
The surrounding scenery retreated back into the void darkness.
Viktor calmly turned back, his gaze falling on the huge mirror before him.
Those two eyes filled with purple light looked down at Viktor.
"What a rare sight, how did she recognize you?"
The mirror seemed to speak with an all-knowing tone, showing no panic despite losing the bet.
"However, according to our bet, I've already sent her back to reality."
"How about that? I'm quite a mirror that keeps its promises, aren't I?"
Its black eyes narrowed slightly, light continuously flashing in its depths.
"But, I've changed my mind halfway."
"Because now, I'm more interested in you."
The mirror looked Viktor up and down, then reflected his image in the mirror surface.
"You know, unless people who enter the mirror leave and return to reality."
"Otherwise, all memories of their existence in reality will be erased."
The mirror grinned, laughing uncontrollably.
"Viktor, now, you've been forgotten by everyone."
It laughed wildly, as if seeing something incredibly amusing.
But suddenly, its laughter, along with Viktor's voice, came to an abrupt halt.
"Merry Dim, I don't think I got your name wrong."
The mirror froze in place upon hearing this name.
Viktor kept his hands in his pockets:
"I'm glad you only sent Lia back to reality."
"Because now, it's just the two of us here."
Suddenly, his aura surged violently.
Like a fierce beast slowly opening its eyes, looking at the fragile prey before it.
The terrifying aura transformed into massive waves, completely engulfing this void.
In this instant, three differently colored stripes appeared on Viktor's coat.
Red, white, and green intertwined together.
Terrifying natural energy burst forth, as if to fill the entire world.
As wind energy filled the space, the surroundings began to grow hot.
Sprouts emerged from nowhere in the void ground, completely submerging the entire world.
At some point, Viktor was already standing in the air.
Behind him, three terrifying beast-like entities appeared floating in the air.
Their bodies were wrapped in three different colored auras.
Their gazes followed Viktor's eyes, staring intently at the huge mirror before them.
The pressure continued to build, causing even the mirror's huge surface to tremble.
Crack—
Under this intense pressure.
A corner of the mirror surface shattered.
Viktor stood in the air, reaching forward with one hand.
Uruste appeared in his hand, gripped tightly.
The top of the wooden staff released powerful and terrifying dense magical power.
Before Viktor, this mirror's long health bar and level suddenly appeared.
Level 50—
Viktor's eyes glowed with an otherworldly light in the dark void, like a demon god descending.
"Now, let's unleash everything."
"And have some fun."
