“Hermione, that Reflective Eye of yours is amazing! As expected from a treasure given by a goddess!”
The grand elder slapped a little flattery on. He knew his place, and it wasn’t to be concerned about a treasure that had been given to Hermione Yggdrasil by a goddess. Even if he wanted to covet it, the sect master was still in front of him! What more, the goddess master of Hermione was still alive, and it was possible that she would drop by to see her disciple in the future. Wouldn’t that spell his death if he were to snatch the treasure of her disciple?
The sect master probably had the same thought in mind, and with that logic, suppressed the greed he felt at the sight of the treasure.
At the same time, far away from them, Alex, who was busy rescuing the others, was shocked. He felt his paper doll puppets getting destroyed.
In the Misty Swamp, where one’s divine consciousness extended only a few meters, Alex could no longer pinpoint their accurate location, now that the paper dolls he placed near the group of people from the Plenilune Sect had been destroyed.
“We’ve got a bit of trouble!”
It wasn’t that big of a situation, and he could only have his paper dolls approach him with the intention of suicide. Fortunately, the Reflective Eye didn’t have infinite reach. It needed the paper dolls to be within a hundred meters of it for the mirror to be triggered.
Alex had his paper dolls commit suicide to approach and pinpoint the approximate location of the group from the Plenilune Sect.
“Holy cow! What sort of treasure is that, to be able to pinpoint my Paper Doll Curse of Three Realms so accurately!”
While Alex was frustrated, the people from the Plenilune Sect were also upset. Seeing the paper dolls that frequently popped up getting killed by the Reflective Eye, the sect master said, “Something’s not right. These paper dolls are jumping out one after another in an endless stream! It’s obvious that the other person is sacrificing their paper dolls to find out our location.”
Hermione snorted lightly. “I can also find the location of the caster.”
She pointed her finger at the Reflective Eye. The rotating mirror above them stopped.
Then, a colorful bright light shone, dazzling their eyes. After a while, a picture appeared in the mirror… It showed what Alex was doing exactly then, which was chasing and killing two Plenilune Sect disciples.
“This man…”
“He’s the master who controls all the paper dolls,” Hermione said.
A few Plenilune Sect disciples called out after noticing Alex’s appearance.
“He’s Alex Rockefeller, the young master of the Usoro family. It was him who killed Elder Quint with a single slash of his blade. He swallowed his blade too.”
These few disciples were the ones who had followed Elder Quint and had survived.
There was something unnatural about the expression on Hermione’s face. Rather, it was extreme excitement. She recalled what her goddess master had told her when she presented Hermione with this mirror…
“If the Reflective Eye catches sight of your opponent but blurs in the blink of an eye, there can only be one explanation. That person possesses the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell.”
“The Ten-Point Forbidden Spell can break the natural orders of law, an existence that goes against the natural order of the world.”
“Any single one of the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell is an existence that goes against the very nature of the world.”
“When you encounter a person like this, if he’s weak, you should snatch it from them. When you grab it, you grab his fortune. If the person is strong, then you should hide quickly.”
Hermione felt that Alex wasn’t that strong. Also, she had a trump card up her sleeve. So, all she needed to do now was to grab the Ten-Point Forbidden Spell from him, as well as his fortune. Once obtained, the achievements she could reach in the future were limitless.
However, she couldn’t let anyone else know about this matter. Hence, Hermione gave her opinion on the matter. “What the sect master said makes sense. It’s possible that my cultivation base is lacking, and I haven’t reached the required rank.”
After a pause, she continued, “But, I can use the Reflective Eye to hide my location, and find the other paper dolls. Sect Master, I request that you allow me to enter the battle! I will find every single person from the Usoro family and kill them all to avenge my Yggdrasil family!”
