"Not exactly, but when in contact with mirror images, the rate at which the victim's soul pathways vibrate decreases starts to hasten depending upon the resistance put up by the victim. Therefore, you felt like your strength was being used against you. The only way out of it is to overpower the mirror images like you just did," Colleen briefly explained her power to Uri because she did not have to fight to win in her 'Verglas Speculum.' Once the three bodies of Uri were rendered immobilized she could begin her torture interrogation.

"Um, I see. Is that also why I am having difficulty mobilizing my soul energy through my soul pathways?" Uri asked, looking at his demiG.o.d body made of divinity starting to turn pale blue under the cold of this fake world.

"Yes, but that would be a simple and inaccurate answer. You see when the vibrations of your soul pathway keep decreasing it also means that the width of your soul pathways is growing narrow. With narrow soul pathways, you cannot access the regular amount of soul energy you used to. The cold in your body has not yet grown to the point where your bodily functions are affected but once they do, that is when things start to get fun. Especially when your brain starts to process information slower than it used to. Then for you, every second can be as long as a minute or even an hour depending on how much you have succ.u.mbed to the cold here," This was why Colleen did not rush, because it was going to be over soon anyway. And also because she felt that Uri had lost his only advantage of suicide bombing by gathering all three of his bodies in one place.

"Interesting ability you have here. I guess I should not have underestimated the first lady of the south. Good thing I learned my lesson and was smart enough to have gathered all of my bodies in one place," as Uri said these words his bodies which had turned pale blue under the cold of Colleen's ability slowly started to turn red like a red hot iron and he uttered, "Rule of Fire, Meaning of Immolation, Rune:- Self-Immolation by Fire, Rune card:- Live Furnace."

"s.h.i.+t," Colleen cussed, learning that Uri had a self-immolation rune. She should have seen this coming when he used a card to exchange his life force for explosive speed.

"As you can see, I don't plan on enjoying the effect of your ability," Uri's rune card, Life Furnace, literally turned his body into a furnace that uses life force as fuel for an explosive increase in its user's overall physical attributes or just one attribute depending on the user's will. Normally no one would be able to master this kind of meaning to completion because practicing it would require sacrificing their life force which they could not afford, unlike Uri who had the Trinity Immortal physique. Not only had he mastered the meaning but also crafted an ultimate rune card fitting his fighting style.

This card did not negate Colleen's ability's effect on his soul pathways but instead showed that he could kill himself without resorting to suicide-bombing, that meant every time Colleen's abilities affect started to grow on one of his bodies to the point of getting frozen alive, Uri would just kill his body, and replace it by reviving a new one. As long as all three of his bodies were not killed at once he was good to go.

From the looks of it, it was starting to seem like a brawl between Uri's three bodies and Colleen was going to break out but Uri never planned to fight Colleen and he had two good reasons for that. First, he felt that if he started to fight Colleen he would not be able to figure out how to get out of this cold world of Colleen's ability. Yes, he could just kill Colleen and walk out of here but was killing Colleen the answer? Because she could just seal him here with her dying breath. Not to mention he did not plan to resort to killing her unless it was necessary. So he decided to prioritize finding a way out of here.

Second, He felt he did not need to fight her to achieve his agenda, he just needed to stall Colleen in this s.p.a.ce and buy Agent Lois enough time to kill the boy or help General Baylor kidnap the boy.

Yes, he had sent separate orders to Agent Lois through the organization's secret communication channel. And right now using that he was using that channel to get live updates from Agent Lois on the progress of their mission, and the tide of battle outside was in their favor. Right now Uri's priority was to figure a way out of Colleen's ability before Agent Lois completes the mission.

If that were the case, why did Uri reveal his Rune Card? It was because once he used it Colleen would figure it out anyway. Call it the pride of the rat. The rats sneak around but once confronted they will fight back with their life on the line. Not to mention he wanted Colleen to continue revealing more about her ability so that he could find a hint to how to leave this frozen world without killing Colleen.

"Um, you are indeed a troublesome opponent. It seems I have no choice but to resort to violence and get the answers from the girl that tagged along with you. If that doesn't work out, I would like to see how much the wielder of the 'Right Eye of the World' would fetch in the market. And for the sake of your masters it better be my grand niece," Colleen said, preparing to kill three of Uri's bodies and go capture Agent Lois and General Baylor. An opponent with Trinity Immortal physique was already troubling but seeing how he had the persistence and the will to cultivate the immolation meaning of the Fire Rule, she knew she would not get anything out of this guy through torture.

"Haha, you still don't get it, do you? I thought you would have figured it out when they dared to send the 'Right Eye of the World' as a prop for this mission," Seeing Colleen no longer planning to keep him alive, Uri squabbled as he did not want to fight her knowing that he stood to gain nothing from that.

"What do you mean?" Colleen asked because she thought she was missing something seeing how confident her opponent was with his words. If there was something she had overlooked then she would like to know that before it was too late.

"They feel that this mission, as in kidnapping your grand niece and the death of the boy, was worth more than the 'Right Eye of the World.' The item, silver milk powder, something as miraculous as it was worth more than the lives of the card apprentices t.i.tled 'The Miracle,' the 'Trinity Immortal,' and the 'Youngest DemiG.o.d Known' combined with the field marshal Henricks. They are ready to sacrifice all that just to get their hands on that item, the moment I kidnapped the girl you guys lost. And once the boy dies you will lose completely. Right now you are just wasting your time talking to a soon-to-be-dead man," Uri's last words were not to throw off Colleen but rather his genuine thoughts of what was waiting for him, Agent Lois, and General Baylor in the hideout. Once the masters seated in the central capital get the field card in Luna's grimoire their next course of action was clear, they would clean everything connecting them to this incident. That meant he, Agent Lois, General Baylor, and Field Marshal Baylor were going to die and so was Dr. Luna Lorn, it was an obvious way to retrieve the field card from her grimoire.

"Is that it, phew. I thought I missed something grave. And thank you for telling me that Field Marshal Henricks was also involved in this, now I understand why my sister-in-law did not act earlier. It seems I was right, her goodwill has finally come back to bite her," Colleen never got to tell 'I told you so' to her sister-in-law but the other party got to on numerous occasions, so Colleen could not help but bring it up when given the opportunity even though the circ.u.mstances surrounding it were not right but she had no choice, as it was extremely rare for her to get such opportunities. She would only take what she got when she got it, she did not have the luxury to stand on the moral high ground as her sister-in-law had very few faults.

"That's it?" Uri was shocked seeing Colleen's reaction. He thought, once he revealed his distrust to the organization, Colleen would use it to try and recruit him, convincing him to give Luna in return for the southern royal family's protection. But to his surprise, Colleen did not, rather she was more determined to kill him. Did she not hear what he just said?
