Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Dorian lazily glanced at his counterpart, who was also lazily staring at him.

Both chuckled, seemingly understanding each other.

Smart.

His shadows knew that it wasn't strong enough to take on Dorian. So it didn't even try or think about doing anything now.

For a shadow to have such willpower and control over his emotions in the mirror world was too unique and eye-jarring.

Take a look at the others?

Everyone Was clawing and viciously staring at their mortal counterparts because the mirror world itself was a living brain on its own, just as the Abyss of the underworld could produce, giving them their natural underworld instincts.

The mirror world hammered its rules on the shadows, only making their hatred for their entrapment with their mortal counterparts grow and grow.

Every shadow had more or less the same feeling and hateful glare in their eyes… not to talk of their overly scarred and ugly appearances.

But Dorian's counterpart was too clean like himself, even shining as though he was some Martial arts immortal.

What was also bizarre was that his attire was also immaculate white compared to Dorian's black get-up.

Even after laying on the dusty and very broken down floor with heat seeping off it, the white attire hadn't changed at all!

His face also looked harmless, and his smile made many have a glimpse at what it was like if the Grandmaster ever smiled.

However, the illusion of him being harmless was broken off by the other shadows that cowered away in pure horror after just locking contact with him for a second.

Xiang Shore swallowed hard.

"Grandmaster… Your Doppelganger sure is scary."

Everyone else nodded in a daze.

Say no more.

They felt pressure just from looking at the Grandmaster's counterpart.

This again reaffirmed Donghai's instincts to never go against Dorian.

Such a person… he couldn't afford the results.

Even his Gia family had to take multiple steps back when it came to Dorian. So who was he?

.

Just when everyone felt immense fear from the Grandmaster's counterpart, Dorian narrowed his gaze, not taking his eyes off his counterpart for a second.

Boom!

His aura was unleashed, and everyone dropped to their knees in horror. Some directly laid flat on the ground instead.

This… This…

The little fat on their cheeks trembled, and their hearts began to beat too wildly.

What sort of monstrous aura was this?

Xiang Shore wanted to slap himself in the face when he recalled how he tried to intimidate Dorian earlier.

Compared to the feeling he got now, what he did should be akin to a newborn baby lightly tapping an adult.

Choking… Oxygen… Oxygen…

The air had become stagnant and frozen, as though they were in space.

And soon, Dorian relieved them all.

~Swish!

He jumped into the mirror world after attaching both mirrors.

That's right; he passed through the portal.

'5 minutes.'

He reminded himself.

And everyone in the room could finally breathe.

GASP!

Their clothes were fully soaked as though they had just come out of a pool.

Haru wiped the sweat off his face, touching his deck of cards in his pocket.

After that initial battle on the Wuphil Mountain region, he attached Talismans to the back of all his cards.

As someone that loved doing magic tricks, it wasn't hard for him to quickly slip a few cards up sleeves after touching his pockets.

He didn't know if the shadows could sense what he was doing.

But he felt that they shouldn't be able to since when stationary, they, the shadows, moved their limbs and acted in ways he did not.

Haru squinted his eyes thoughtfully.

'It looks like when stationary, I too can hide secrets from my shadow. The Grandmaster said that during these 5 minutes, they wouldn't be able to pass through. But if he takes longer, the portal will close.'

.

He worried that during the closing time, the portal would be weakened somewhat.

And a few shadows might actually be able to escape.

One shouldn't overlook this fact because, during the portal-weakening phase, the region the portal was around would also have weakened Mirror laws.

Meaning the shadows should be able to walk without being chained on the same spot as their mortal counterparts.

As shadows, they can swish and move far distances in a blink of an eye.

So during the few seconds that the portal was forcefully closing on its own, over 30 shadows could escape into his world.

A human without a shadow in the mirror world will slowly grow weak and die after a while, even if they have no reflection on the mirrored surfaces like Dracula.

Provided the Grandmaster came back before 5 minutes was up and closed the portal by himself, then they won't even have to worry about shadows escaping.

But if the mirror world had to take action to close it up, then that was where the problem lay.

Haru and Bewoh briefly met each other's eyes in understanding.

If these shadows dared to step out, they wouldn't hesitate to make a move!

'Haru, I think our biggest worries should be the big Shadow."

"HmHm." Haru agreed.

Tsk!

As expected of the Grandmaster.

Even his shadow was a big boss!

Bewoh and Haru threw their heads behind their shoulders, glancing at the gang sternly.

"Everyone, though we cannot go in to help the Grandmaster, that doesn't mean that we will not be able to aid him from here."

"Right!" Donghai replied.

And everyone else nodded, spreading their legs and placing their hands behind their backs to maintain a long-standing military position.

That's right.

All they had to do was stand STILL!

(*^*)

.

~Dshang.

The weird sound of him passing through the portal was very non-existent.

The air was too hot, causing a heat mirage across the land.

The sky was nonexistent, with rubles floating high up in the air.

There were no clouds, moon or sun, yet it was hot and bright.

Tic-Tock. Tick-Tock.

There was no time to waste!

He had to find the victims!
