Bryan's eyes narrowed as the two men gradually came closer and began to surround him. Now, he could transform into a dream creature and easily take care of the two of them, but there were two main reasons why wouldn't.
Firstly, if he transformed right now, he was sure that these two people would recognize him immediately. They were from the kingdom's intelligence agency, after all. And after massacring those Blood Path scums at their base, Bryan was sure that the prisoners had definitely given the Silver Owls details about what he looked like.
If he were to transform now, he'd be giving himself away. And he knew that the Silver Owls had already put a bounty on his head. And the image on the bounty was that of him in his dream creature transformation.
Secondly, and most importantly, Bryan didn't want to kill these people from the kingdom. That would spell even more trouble for him. And he knew that these two men were also not here to kill him.
The most they'd do was heavily injure him and take him back to the dungeons. Then, they'd force him to work for Nicholas or perhaps even the kingdom by hook or crook. Thus, the only thing that Bryan could do was fight them in his base form.
However, he was not so sure about his chances of victory. First of all, he was against three men who were also Rank 2 Transcendents. And although Nicholas was only watching the battle from the sidelines, he'd be forced to join the fray sooner or later.
And the other thing that was bothering Bryan the most was the environment. He was in a completely unknown place and it seemed that his enemies had control over this small region to a certain extent. Otherwise, the two men wouldn't have substituted themselves with mirrors earlier.
There was one thing, however, that Bryan could do to come out on top. And that was to directly capture Nicholas because he was the one that was currently holding the mirror artifact. He wasn't sure if he'd succeed, but he decided to give it a shot anyway.
Hence, without waiting a moment longer, Bryan dashed toward him. His speed was so quick that it surprised the two men in black. This was to be expected, after all. Although Bryan was only a Rank 2 Transcendent, his dream creature physique boosted his body to the level of a Rank 3 Transcendent.
The two men were completely unable to get a hold of Bryan as he ran past them. He was so fast that he appeared to be a blur. And within a moment, Bryan had already reached a few feet from Nicholas.
He raised his hand and planned to deliver a solid punch, but much to his surprise he found that Nicholas remained as calm as ever. If anything, he had a sneer on his face.
At lightning speed, Bryan swung his fist at Nicholas but just a few inches away from the latter's face, Bryan felt that he was blocked by a wall.
CRASH!
Spider-web-shaped cracks started forming from the place where Bryan's punch connected and before he knew it, the space in front of him shattered like a mirror!
Nicholas's mocking tone could be heard from the other side of the cracked mirror. "You fool, with this artifact, I'm in complete control of this whole region."
Bryan's eyes narrowed when he realized that he wouldn't be able to harm even a hair on Nicholas's body as long as the latter had the mirror artifact in his possession.
The next moment, all the shattered glasses in front of him began to hover in the air, and before Bryan knew it, hundreds of these broken glasses came crashing down on him. Bryan's eyes widened at this development.
Instantly he decided to draw back, but much to his shock, he realized that two pairs of hands had protruded from the ground around him and viciously grabbed his ankles.
"Bastards!" Bryan gritted his teeth as he realized that the two men in black had once again teleported through the mirrors and held him down. He had no more time to think because the broken pieces of glass were almost upon him.
With no other way out, Bryan gnashed his teeth and his eyes shone with resolve. He raised his arms and brought it over his head. He did his best to protect his vitals. Finally, the broken glasses completely drowned him.
BAM!!
Dust and debris completely covered the area as Nicholas and the two men stood at a distance from where Bryan had been. One of the men muttered in incredulity, "He's actually quite strong for a Rank 2…."
The other man in black solemnly nodded. Meanwhile, Nicholas snickered, "No matter how powerful he is, inside the Mirror World, he's nothing. Besides, that earlier attack should be enough to incapacitate him."
"Indeed," One of the two men replied. After all, any mirror or glass in this dimension wasn't just a regular item. They were enough to cut through the body of a Rank 2 and brutally injure them. And after the previous attack that Bryan had taken, it would be a miracle if he was still standing on his feet.
Nicholas was pretty confident about this fact, hence, he ordered the two men, "Go, get him."
The two nodded and walked toward the crash site. Meanwhile, Nicholas was thinking about how he'd torture Bryan and then mind-control him to become his slave. After his visit last time, the way that Bryan had behaved with him had severely offended him.
He was a once-in-a-thousand-years genius who invented the telephone that revolutionized society. Everywhere he went, he was showered with praises and people looked up to him. But the way that Bryan looked down on him the last time they met, really struck a nerve.
Nicholas's ego couldn't take such an insult. Hence, he'd do everything he could to put Bryan in place. Even if it meant using unorthodox methods to brainwash and mid-control him. He could already see the image of Bryan begging for his life and couldn't help but grin.
On the other side, the two men had already approached the vicinity of the crash site. Because of the dust and debris, they weren't able to see clearly. Thus, they injected spiritual force into their eyes to enhance their vision. And when they did, their eyes widened in disbelief.
Amidst the dust, they saw Bryan bathed in his own blood after being attacked by the broken glasses and mirrors. He was currently standing on his feet, his clothes torn to bits in many places. His black eyes had narrowed and were gleaming with a ruthless glint.
The reason the two men were shocked was not because of this, but because Bryan was currently aiming two pistols at them. Before they could even make a move, Bryan had pulled the trigger!
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
The two men instantly evaded the hail of bullets, but since they were taken by surprise, a few of the bullets had managed to penetrate their bodies. With groans full of agony, both of them fell to the ground.
Bryan dashed out of the dust and with lightning speed appeared in front of the two of them. He kneed the first person in the face, sweeping him off the ground. The next moment, Bryan viciously delivered a roundhouse kick to the other person in the face as well.
The two of them flew across the ground and landed in front of Nicholas's feet. The latter looked at the two of them in utter shock. Each of them had at least one bullet lodged in their bodies and their faces were bloody after Bryan's last kick.
Nicholas then looked up and saw Bryan walking toward him, drenched in blood. His feet began to tremble involuntarily and he fell on his butt. The sight of Bryan, currently, was akin to a vile demon rising from a pool of blood and on his way to wreak havoc.
He gulped involuntarily and gritted his teeth, "Y-You bastard!" The next moment, he controlled the artifact and erected multiple walls of mirrors around him to protect himself from Bryan.
Now that the two men were incapacitated, he had no confidence in fighting Bryan head-on. Thus all he could do was utilize the mirror world and defeat him.
Bryan's eyes shone with a cold light and he rushed toward Nicholas. He raised his fist once again and proceeded to break down the mirror wall. He'd continue to break these walls until he had reached Nicholas.
…
In the real world, a luxurious, black steam car stopped outside the gates of Bryan's mansion, and a beautiful lady with caramel-colored long hair and brown eyes stepped out of the car.
She was wearing a regal, purple long dress and naturally emanated an aura of nobility. She looked around the place and finally confirmed that she was at the right address. However, she felt something was wrong.
Thus, she took out a white colored gem from her purse and held it in front of her eye. The next moment, she gasped. "Mirror World!"
She then thought for a moment and mumbled. "Looks like the people from the Belize Kingdom are really after this person Grandpa told me about." In the end, she sighed, "Fortunately, I'm on time."
The following moment, the black gem on the necklace she was wearing lit up with resplendent light. She then solemnly declared, "The Mirror World is outlawed here!"
…
Inside the mirror world, Bryan who was constantly punching the mirror walls trying to reach Nicholas, suddenly stopped. He looked around and found that cracks were beginning to form everywhere!
And before he knew it, the entire region around him broke into pieces. The mirrors shattered into innumerable pieces, and shortly after that, he found himself back in the real world!
Bryan's eyes narrowed as the two men gradually came closer and began to surround him. Now, he could transform into a dream creature and easily take care of the two of them, but there were two main reasons why wouldn't.
