Chapter 106 Spiritual Body Shuttle
“Whoosh—As the ritual incantation finished, the flame on the laurel incense rapidly climbed. Along with the increasingly strong fragrance, the flame burning on the candle wick quickly changed from orange-yellow to a deep blue.
“It’s about time.”
Watching the candle body melt quickly, Jia Na immediately raised the blood-soaked mithril dagger in her hand and fiercely stabbed it into the center of the mirror.
The dagger rose and fell. The silver round mirror pierced by the dagger did not shatter, but instead rippled like water, swallowing the blade. Along with the twelve source energy fragments placed on the mirror, they also quickly sank into the mirror image, like pebbles falling into a lake.
“Success!”
Just like when she performed the Contract Summoning ritual for the first time, after Jia Na successfully completed the ritual, a brilliant silver-white light emanated from the mirror. Seeing this, Jia Na didn't hesitate and directly activated her talent—Spiritual Body Shuttle.
“The coordinate information is the Mirror Layer Domain!”
The light swallowed the entire dormitory. After locking the coordinates, Jia Na's detached consciousness once again transformed into a spiritual body and merged into the mirror.
“After becoming a spiritual body, the Law of the Mirror Layer Domain indeed no longer repels me.”
A grey-white sky, ground flowing like mercury. Looking at the familiar scene before her eyes, Jia Na knew that she had successfully landed in the Mirror Layer Domain.
“Not only that, the spiritual body form doesn't consume any soul power. Even if I stay here for a long time, it's not a problem.”
Of course, the premise was that Jia Na's physical body in the Main Material World could withstand it. After all, the time flow rate in the Mirror Layer Domain is a one-to-one relationship with the Main Material World.
In other words, according to Jia Na's current physical condition, she could only stay in the Mirror Layer Domain for a maximum of seventy-two hours. Once this time limit was exceeded, Jia Na's physical body in the Main Material World would be at risk of dehydration.
Although her physique, which was much stronger than ordinary people, would not put Jia Na's physical body in Life-threatening danger due to seventy-two hours of dehydration, for safety's sake, Jia Na still chose to be more cautious.
“Ding-a-ling—”
The ringing sound of the soul echo continuously spread within the Mirror Layer Domain. Due to the coordinate lock, Jia Na in her spiritual body form could not go beyond the range covered by the Contract Summoning ritual barrier, otherwise, she would automatically return to the Main Material World.
So, she could only wait quietly—waiting for the arrival of those otherworldly creatures that matched her soul echo's Hertz frequency and were also interested in her. “The last time I entered the Mirror Layer Domain, I didn't encounter attacks from creatures of this plane. It is indeed as Pading-Green said, compared to the 'kill on sight' Law of the mirror, mirror creatures are relatively gentle and will not actively attack outsiders....”
Of course, this also meant that mirror creatures were a relatively aloof group. Gentleness did not mean being friendly;
it could also simply mean that the other party simply didn't want to bother with outsiders.
“Ding-a-ling-a-ling—”
Just as Jia Na was lost in thought, suddenly, a crisp ringing sound interrupted her thoughts.
“No way—that fast?””
“Ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling, ding-a-ling—”
The vibration sound of the soul echo became more and more dense, but looking around, no matter how Jia Na searched, she couldn't find the figure of the newcomer.
“Could it be an illusion?”
The soul echo would not lie, but the characteristic of mirror creatures being good at concealment could easily hide from Jia Na's spiritual body perspective. If the other party refused to show themselves, Jia Na could not directly cast forbidden Witchcraft on them like she could during Elf Summoning.
“Ding-a-ling—ding-a-ling—
Time passed minute by minute. Although the soul echo was still ringing, Jia Na, who had waited for several hours, still did not see the other party appear.
Even, as the degree of Hertz frequency resonance decreased, Jia Na could clearly feel that the mirror creature hidden in the dark had begun to gradually lose interest in her.
“I really am not someone everyone loves.”
Because of the previous experience with the Celestial Sparrow, Jia Na was actually planning to get something for nothing this time. However, this trick seemed to have failed. After waiting for so long, this mirror creature was not even willing to show its face.
“Since that’s the case, how about this—————”
The spiritual body gradually faded. In just the blink of an eye, a source energy fragment wrapped in grey-white light was spat out from Jia Na's mouth. As the source energy aura leaked out, the soul echo, which had gradually calmed down, suddenly accelerated.
“Crack—”
A harsh shattering sound quickly drowned out the soul echo. Under Jia Na's startled gaze, a layer of cracks as dense as a spider web quickly appeared in front of Jia Na.
“Crack!”
The cracks grew larger and larger. With the final explosive sound, a semicircular area with Jia Na as the center and a radius of about five meters quickly shattered.
Like a popping bubble, looking at the grey-white world in front of her, which was no different from before, Jia Na only now realized that she had been wrapped in a mirror illusion identical to the mirror world the whole time.
“What a brilliant illusion—even Luo - Yinhu might not be able to construct an illusion so realistic—”
It was still an endless grey-white sky, but after the illusion shattered, an oval mirror, entirely silver-white, with Hollow pattern carved on the mirror edge, suspended in the air, suddenly appeared about ten meters away from Jia Na.
“Is this the native creature of the Mirror Layer Domain?”
Looking at the mirror creature which didn't seem much different from an ordinary dressing mirror, Jia Na was curious, but at the same time, she kept calming her emotions, trying to make her demeanor more friendly.
“Wizard language? Elvish? Or Mithris Language?”
Jia Na, who greeted the mirror creature not far away in three different languages, saw that the other party remained unmoved and had to continue to hold up the source energy fragment, speaking to herself in the common Wizard language:
“If you can sign a contract with me, this thing can belong to you.”
No reaction?
“Sign a contract, and this can be yours.”
Ding-a-ling—there was a reaction!
“So it can understand Mithris Language—”
Seeing the mirror creature gradually approaching her, Jia Na was not in a hurry. Instead, she stood quietly in place, waiting for the other party to express itself.
“Keep your word~”
Seeing the four large common Wizard language characters outlined in red on the silver-white mirror, Jia Na's expression froze for a moment.
“So it was pretending not to understand—”
The contract magic array suddenly activated. After both parties confirmed their intentions, the mirror creature no longer procrastinated and directly used Short-Range Teleportation to enter Jia Na's contract magic array.
“Spiritual World Lord who witnesses the contract in the long river of time, I swear by my will, the contract is established, never to be betrayed—”
