Chapter 255: New Abilities
Hearing the familiar voice by her ear, Jia Na couldn't help but be startled.
"Door Spirit, did anyone come looking for me today?"
"No, Miss Jia Na—"
Hearing the conversation at the door made Jia Na's hair stand on end.
As the dormitory door was reopened, another 'Jia Na' wearing a green wizard robe suddenly appeared before Jia Na.
"Who are you!?"
The 'Jia Na' who pushed open the door and entered the dormitory showed genuine shock in her eyes upon seeing Jia Na inside. Even her casting gesture to cast 【Floral Guardian】 was identical to Jia Na's usual reaction to sudden situations—
Snap—
Just as 'Jia Na' was about to attack Jia Na, the surrounding mirror illusion suddenly stopped.
Like a movie paused halfway through, the 'Jia Na' before Jia Na was now frozen in place.
"Is this your new ability?"
"Yes, Master."
Looking at the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon that had reappeared beside her, a hint of complex emotion flashed in Jia Na's eyes.
"If you hadn't stopped the illusion, would she have really attacked me next?"
"Yes, Master."
Hearing this, Jia Na's face couldn't help but show shock. Then, as if remembering something, she suppressed her inner excitement and asked the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon:
"Then what level is her strength?"
"Only one-tenth of Master's."
As expected—
Hearing the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's answer, the shock and excitement in Jia Na's heart gradually subsided.
Just as Jia Na thought, the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's current strength didn't exceed Jia Na's by too much. Therefore, logically speaking,
the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's rather heaven-defying ability must also have certain flaws.
"Continue."
"Okay, Master."
Hearing Jia Na's command, the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon 'played' the 'paused' illusion again. Facing the 'Jia Na''s 【Vine Entanglement】 Witchcraft attack, Jia Na also countered with a 【Vine Entanglement】.
As expected, the mirror illusion 'Jia Na', whose strength was only one-tenth of Jia Na's, couldn't withstand a single blow from the real Jia Na. 'I didn't expect that the mirror illusion condensed by the evolved Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon could actually be so realistic—.'
Looking at the illusion 'Jia Na' shattering like a mirror before her, Jia Na's eyes couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful look.
Unlike the relatively stiff mirror illusions of the past, the mirror illusions currently cast by the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon are even 'sentient'.
Or rather, the current mirror illusions are actually objective facts that occurred previously in the 【Primary Material World】, simply replayed like a mirror reflection, a fleeting glimpse.
"Does that also mean that as the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's number of eyes increases, everything replicated in the mirror illusions can be restored one-to-one?"
Like this mirror illusion 'Jia Na' before me, or other powerful Formal Wizards—
"Silver Mirror, can you simulate Principal Anthony?"
"Not yet—I can only simulate creatures at a level comparable to mine right now."
Hearing this, Jia Na couldn't help but nod.
Although the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's ability seems outrageous, it does conform to the principle of energy conservation.
If the magic level of the simulated target is far higher than the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon, then given the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's current magic level, simulation would be difficult.
"Not bad, this ability still has great development potential in the future."
"Thank you for your praise (happy)~"
Watching the surroundings change back from the dormitory to a grayscale scene, Jia Na continued to have the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon demonstrate other newly acquired abilities.
"Master, the second ability I obtained is 【Invisibility】."
"Invisibility?"
Looking at the ability description written by the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon on the mirror surface, Jia Na couldn't help but think of a rather expensive apprentice-level top-tier Witchcraft Tool—an Invisibility Cloak.
"Cast it on me."
Swish—Upon receiving Jia Na's command, a veil like water ripples gently floated out from the mirror surface, landing on Jia Na and covering her entirely.
"Even the casting method is surprisingly similar to an 【Invisibility Cloak】—"
Covered by the veil, Jia Na raised her hand again and found that her body had indeed successfully turned invisible.
Furthermore, this invisibility is different from how the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon previously concealed Jia Na's figure by casting mirror illusions to make her blend into the surrounding scenery.
This time, it was true visual invisibility, allowing Jia Na to truly become invisible.
"Silver Mirror's new ability is equivalent to giving me an 【Invisibility Cloak】 for free."
Thinking of this, Jia Na's gaze towards the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon couldn't help but become gentler.
"Cast 【Short-Range Teleportation】 on me."
Whoosh—
Light and shadow flickered. Seeing the teleportation distance of a full ten meters from her original standing position, Jia Na could no longer describe her feelings towards the evolved Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon with simple satisfaction.
It was simply beyond her imagination!
"Are there any other new abilities?"
"There are no more, Master~"
Hearing this, after having the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon remove the 【Invisibility Veil】 from her body, Jia Na's hand couldn't help but reach towards the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon's glass vertical eye on the mirror surface.
"Just how many more surprises do you have that I don't know about—"
From its evolution to the testing of its new abilities, the Hundred-Eyed Mirror Demon took less than an hour in total.
After returning to the 【Primary Material World】 from the 【Mirror Layer Domain】, Jia Na, who had passed the point of hunger upon seeing the time displayed as 11:50 PM on the dormitory wall, still opened the cake box on the experimental table and started eating with a fork.
"The pastries from Oak House are still too sweet—"
After finishing the last bite of cake, Jia Na, who drank a sip of ice water, took off her clothes, walked into the washroom, turned on the showerhead, and took a hot bath.
"Although showering is fast, soaking in a bathtub for a while is more relaxing."
Previously, due to her limited funds, Jia Na had been hesitant to steel her resolve and purchase an alchemical bathtub.
But now, with her opera income, endorsement income, and Purification task income steadily rising, an alchemical bathtub worth only a few hundred jin sule is not expensive at all for the current Jia Na.
"I heard Vivian say that the latest model of alchemical bathtub now has new functions—"
The alchemical bathtub Jia Na saw before at the alchemical supplies store not only had a close-fitting design conforming to human anatomy, but the magic patterns carved on the bathtub could also allow a Wizard to perform shallow meditation in a magic-rich environment after twelve hours of energy storage.
And the latest model of alchemical bathtub is said to have added massage, constant temperature, automatic cleaning,
water element gathering, and other functions on top of the aforementioned features—
