When the "Iron Chain of the Finger" binding was completed, the Mirror Princess had already suffered a 9% loss in Health Points!

A force of seventy-eight Federal Watchers unleashed firepower far surpassing that of the Magicians. However, this advantage was solely in firepower; in terms of Defense, Evasion, and Survival Abilities, they were pure cannon fodder in this boss battle.

Thanks to the power of modern military arms, Ren Suo knew that the duration of the battle would be significantly shortened, which meant the margin for error also increased.

The Mirror Princess's attack patterns had already been revealed to Caroline and the others. They commanded the Watchers to continually stay behind the Mirror Princess. Meanwhile, the black-haired Magician and Red Hood were quickly dealing with the Dwarves.

The Dwarves could also reflect physical damage, but Magicians had plenty of Elemental Spells, and the Holy Light Bullet also counted as Attribute damage. With the help of Binding Offerings like "Madly Growing Roots," it didn't take long for the Magicians to completely eliminate the Apple Dwarves.

However, when the Apple Dwarves died in battle, there were no options for Redemption or Sacrifice. Instead, they were beckoned over by the Mirror Princess.

The Mirror Princess emitted a clear sound, "We are all reflections of others..."

Mirrors from the defeated Apple Dwarves, now arrayed around the Mirror Princess's own large mirror, began to shoot piercing gazes at enemies with extreme frequency!

Although this meant the Mirror Princess gained a new attack method, it was much better than having the Apple Dwarves moving around. Once all seven Dwarves were dealt with, the game turned into a game of cat and mouse—

No one could stand in front of the Mirror Princess; everyone could only hide behind her, waiting for her to fire her beam before attacking!

When the Mirror Princess's Health Points fell below 70%, her turning speed and Movement Speed suddenly increased. The Watcher team suffered their first casualty, but luckily Elaine and the black-haired Magician, two Sacred Hand Magicians, managed to rescue the injured Watcher. Although unable to continue fighting, the rescued Watcher could at least retreat with the team.

When the Health Points of the Mirror Princess fell below 50%, her speed and attack frequency increased again, and she even suddenly spun completely around—

"Is it you who is the most beautiful in this world?"

Facing what seemed to be an ultimate, instantly killing attack, Ren Suo didn't hesitate and activated "Iron Chain of the Finger" for a second time, perfectly timing it to bind the Mirror Princess just as she was about to attack!

Caroline turned around in surprise and looked at the black-haired Magician, exclaiming, "Your hand!—"

"Fire at it!" the black-haired Magician roared.

The Watchers' firepower immediately converged on it, and the three Magicians also attacked with all their might. Then, Red Hood said, "The next Binding, let me take care of it."

"The one after that is mine," Lunpena stated coolly, firing a crystal of Cold Ice from her cane.

"The last one is mine," Elaine declared, swinging the giant cow axe at the Princess's mirror, hacking out a crack from which black blood spurted.

"No need to argue. I will finish it."

Let me be the one to sever the love of these game characters!

At this time, the black-haired Magician, using his right hand which now had only a single finger joint remaining, plunged it into his own right eye socket!

The bloody eyeball was forcibly torn from the tangled nerves as everyone watched in horror. The black-haired Magician raised his right hand high and crushed the eyeball with his remaining finger joint!

The Forbidden Technique, "Summoning the Eye Demon"!

At the cost of his own eyeball, he summoned ten Eye Demons that could shoot powerful beams. In the game, this manifested as a drastically reduced field of vision—only a small central area of the screen could be seen.

But that was enough!

Eye Demons, nearly the size of a human head, hovered behind the black-haired Magician, continuously firing white, murky... tears at the Mirror Princess!

The Mirror Princess, splashed with tears, suddenly burst out with an extremely piercing cry!

"Mother—why—"

The tears splashed onto her mirror, leaving streaks of white, frost-like marks. Black blood gushed incessantly from the wound, and a sizzling, searing sound echoed through the grand hall. The Mirror Princess seemed severely injured and actually collapsed to the ground!

The Eye Forbidden Technique was learned from Lunpena in the Second Sanctum. While this Forbidden Technique dealt less damage than "Flame Skin Breath," its side effects were minor, so Ren Suo had chosen to use this move first.

Unexpectedly, this move was remarkably effective against the boss of the Third Sanctum!

Ren Suo immediately realized this was likely a hidden game mechanic. Certain Offerings must have a weakness-exploiting effect on bosses. The question is whether I can trigger it.

After all, there were only a few Forbidden Techniques that used parts of the human body as an Offering, and it was already very fortunate to encounter a boss weak to such human-sacrificing Forbidden Techniques.

Once the Eye Demons had unleashed all their tears, the Mirror Princess's Health Points had also fallen to 30%!

"Again!"

Without hesitation, Ren Suo had the black-haired Magician pluck out his own left eyeball and crush it again!

Although this would result in a total loss of vision, the Mirror Princess was still bound; blind firing would be enough!

"Your eyes!" Caroline's voice cried out from ahead.

"I'm fine!"

Several more volleys from the Eye Demons followed. Although the Magician's "Iron Chain of the Finger" binding effect had ended, the Mirror Princess still lay on the ground from the onslaught of tears. The screen went pitch black. Ren Suo could only hear the roar of continuous gunfire and the clatter of ejected shell casings.

And watch as dialogue boxes appeared one after another—

"How is she not dead yet!"

Seconds later, the voice of the Mirror Princess resounded again, "Crying? I want to cry too... but I can't cry anymore!"

"It's getting up! The mirror is also lighting up!"

Red Hood said, "We can't let her stand up! I'll take over from here!"

Lunpena said, "An eyeball is a small price to pay."

Elaine declared, "My Sacred Hand can be sacrificed at any time!"

Ren Suo steered the black-haired Magician forward. Although his vision was completely lost, in the third-person perspective, the black-haired Magician was still outlined by thick white lines, indicating his position.

Other voices appeared on screen as dialogue boxes: "Get out of the battlefield!" "We'll handle this!"

On the pitch-black screen, the black-haired Magician's voice and dialogue box seemed immense: "There are no Magicians who cowardly cling to life, only Magicians whose mutilated bodies are sacrificed on the battlefield!"

When the black-haired Magician reached the Mirror Princess, a status display showed that the Mirror Princess now had only 14% Health Points left.

"Its mirror is aiming at you! Magician, snap out of it!" Caroline seemed to grab the black-haired Magician, her dialogue box appearing behind him, "Get moving!"

However, the black-haired Magician was unmoved. "I will protect you."

He activated the Forbidden Technique, "Sacred Spine Sword"!

Even though the screen was pitch black, Ren Suo could see the white lines forming the silhouette of the Magician. He raised both hands, plunging them into his own spine at the nape of his neck, emitting a chilling scream.

"AAAAHHHHHHH—"

He forcibly pulled out his own spine, transforming it into a giant sword, and slashed at the Mirror Princess right in front of him!

This move was a new Forbidden Technique he had just learned from Elaine, and this was the perfect opportunity to test it on the Mirror Princess. Even if it fails, I still have "Flame Skin Breath"!

However, the effect of the Sacred Spine Sword seemed even more terrifying than Ren Suo had imagined—on screen, all dialogue boxes and sound indicators were swept away by a purple sword glow. The sound of the sword light tearing through the Demon's body became the only thing audible!

The Sacred Spine Sword could attack only once, ignored all damage reduction, and was a Sure Hit!

Along with the other Magicians' frantic Attribute-based attacks, the Mirror Princess, continuously battered by the sword light, saw her Health Points drop to zero!

Meanwhile, after unleashing the Sacred Spine Sword, as the Holy Sword dissipated from his hands, the black-haired Magician also collapsed to his knees, as if he truly had lost his spine.
