Chapter 112: Aberration! God of Evil’s Whispers!

Plap!

A soft sound.

The moment the mask covered Link’s face, it made changes on its own. It extended and contracted as if it had dissolved into a puddle of liquid, extremely molded to Link’s face.

At the same time, strange and twisted whispers appeared with it.

In a trance, Link only felt like all the light in his surroundings dimmed at once. The masses who were fighting and the Dark Sage had all vanished.

There was only a fog-like mist before his eyes. In the darkness that could not be seen through, an unknown existence seemed to be hidden and was snickering softly.

“He’s... here.”

“He’s finally here.”

“Link...”

As whispers continuously entered his ears, the back of Link’s neck also turned cold instantly. It was as if some sort of slimy cirrus had brushed across it, and it made him uneasy in his heart.

At the same time, the [Fearless Pathfinder] title’s passive skill, [Fearless], also began taking effect.

Link only felt a warmth surge in his chest that directly reached his brain afterward. It instantly pulled him out of the cold and strange state.

The scene before his eyes returned, and the strange and menacing whispers by his ears also subsided like the tide.

A dim gleam flashed through Link’s eyes as he exhaled lightly.

This piece of equipment probably came from a certain heretic god and inherently carried the pollution that drove people to degeneration and insanity.

If the average man hastily used it, he might get corroded then and there. A frightening abnormality might even occur.

Even though Link possessed [Fearless], a passive skill, he maintained the attitude of giving the item a wide berth.

In his previous lifetime, Link had, after all, heard about some [Doomsday Online] players being corroded by certain things. They then lost their minds and turned into monsters.

When Link put on the mask, the reflection in the mirror—originally slowly taking form according to his aura—suddenly faltered; then, it actually began contorting crazily!

The black figure that had already taken on human form suddenly collapsed, disintegrated, and turned into a pile of mud.

Many pitch-black, cirrus-like limbs swiftly grew out from that slush-like body, which then swung out harshly and struck the mirror!

Boom!

A stifled slapping sound rose together with the cracking sounds.

Frightening cracks suddenly appeared on the smooth mirror that was made from space, swiftly extending like a spiderweb.

This strange scene was completely different from the others’ mirrors. The aberrated creature in the mirror radiated a crazy aura, which set a chill in one’s heart.

Even the Dark Sage, who cast the [Mirror of Illusion] was quite stunned!

The scene before his eyes had not been manipulated by him at all. There were even auras of degeneration and madness swiftly climbing over through the connection between himself and the aberrated reflection.

This forced the Dark Sage to cut the connection on his own initiative. The aberrated reflection had already exceeded his control!

“What exactly have you done?” questioned The Dark Sage. There was no longer the earlier disdain and superiority in his tone.

Link did not respond. He only gripped the [King’s Sword] in his hand tightly. His gaze was sharp as he watched the changes in the mirror.

The Dark Sage’s countenance became even colder. He stared at the strange mask on Link’s face. Uneasiness actually rose vaguely in his heart.

“It’s the influence of that mask! Why do you own so many strange items?!” Before his words fell, the mirror that was covered in cracks could no longer bear the weight and was completely destroyed, bringing with it an explosive roar.

A deformed and warped figure surged out from the mirror! Its body was like a lump of haphazard sludge. It was constantly squirming while the cirri danced wildly. A good number of the cirri even curled toward the Dark Sage!

The Dark Sage did not make use of the anti-shock barrier that blanketed him to block the cirri. Instead, he struck without the slightest bit of hesitation, seeming extremely wary of such attacks.

Streaks of deep-purple rays slammed into the warped reflection, repeatedly tearing up those cirri and the mud-like body.

However, the aberrated reflection displayed a terrifying [Regenerate] ability. The torn-up cirri crept out of the sludge-like body without end, and the sight was frightening.

Degeneration and aberration; these should not be the powers of humankind! Could it be that this human has a connection to those indescribables?! thought the Dark Sage inwardly.

Faint chills had even risen in him, and he was unwilling to remain here.

The aura around Link surged as he prepared to strike.

The reflection’s aberrations probably had to do with the [Mask of the Faceless], and such changes were clearly what the Dark Sage feared.

Link had taken all of this in very quickly. While the Dark Sage was being attacked, Link also launched his offense at the same time.

Howls of the wind sounded!

A sword ray slashed out with a whistle, yet it was no longer golden or silver but an uneasy gray.

After putting on the mask, certain changes had happened to Link’s attack attributes. He now had a strange strength.

Yuna—who was presently resisting the reflections and Undead army with God Devourer Ant—also swung her staff, throwing a golden ball of light at the Dark Sage.

Boom!

A loud explosive sound reverberated.

The gray sword energy was not absorbed by the rippling purple waves this time. Instead, it swiftly cut through the anti-shock barrier like a hot knife slicing through butter and landed on the Dark Sage!

The Dark Sage took multiple steps back; there were even faint traces of blood at the corner of his mouth!

The attack was effective and even caused [True Damage]. Link no longer had any reservations and continued to strike.

Meanwhile, Yuna’s holy light energy had also arrived and bloomed on the spot.

The Dark Sage used the anti-shock barrier to absorb part of the holy light’s might and countered Link.

The aberrated reflection instead let out a piercing nicker after the holy light brushed it, seeming to have suffered considerable trauma!

The Dark Sage took the chance and launched a violent offense at the aberrated reflection. The terrifying purple rays seemed as if they sought to destroy the universe as they repeatedly slammed into the reflection!

Finally, the reflection completely collapsed and disintegrated. There was only a deep, fearsome pit and some black substance left on the ground.

The holy light seems to have a miraculous effect on such warped monsters.

Such a thought flashed through Link’s heart. His figure had already swept to the Dark Sage’s front.

The sword ray slashed down, and Link simultaneously employed the mask’s ability without hesitation.

[God of Evil’s Whispers]!

In the twinkling of an eye, even the surrounding space became vaguely distorted. The Dark Sage felt as if he had fallen into a certain lightless environment.

The darkness—which gave him a sense of intimacy in the past—now made him feel fear!

The darkness crashed over like a tide. Amidst it seemed to be cirri and arms reaching out, wanting to envelop the Dark Sage!

It was as if someone was whispering into his ears. This was a fallen voice of madness—it was instigating and tempting the Dark Sage.

Meanwhile, from Link’s point of view, he saw the Dark Sage suddenly turn dazed. A distorted black figure then suddenly appeared behind him.

The indescribable black figure stretched out its arm and covered the Dark Sage’s eyes. Its face pressed close to the Dark Sage’s head and whispered very intimately.

Such a scene sent chills up one’s spine!

Following that, squirming masses actually appeared on the Dark Sage’s body. It was as though a certain thing was about to break through his blood and flesh and crawl out.

[Aberration] was happening, and even a Stage Six monster could not resist it!

Link was solemn. His mind’s mental strength swiftly extended outward, turning into translucent cirri between virtual and reality around him.

They headed to kill the Dark Sage!

[Cirrus Limbs]!
