My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2670

At this moment, Reese activated the Skyshard Armor within his body. Now, the Skyshard Armor willingly followed him. Despite the risk of his life force dwindling, Reese pushed the Skyshard Armor’s neutralization ability to its limit.

The Skyshard Armor's energy enveloped his entire body. Gradually, the Sky Reflector Mirror began to force its way out from within Reese’s body.

Seeing this, Nash wasted no time. As soon as Reese deactivated the armor's power, he quickly set up a formation, and the two swiftly left the mountainside.

The mirror did not pursue them. In its current form as a weapon, it needed a host to exert its power. It had fused itself with the entire mountain, but with the path back blocked by Otto, it had to find a new host quickly or its strength would gradually dissipate. That would cause it to fall into a slumber.

At that moment, it sensed another presence nearby—a life force that seemed weak and easy to control. Without hesitation, it flew toward the base of the mountain.

Standing at the peak, Otto noticed the mirror's behavior and gazed in the same direction. To his surprise, he saw Wrendell.

Otto split a fragment of his soul and sent it flying toward Wrendell, but he was a step too late as the mirror had entered his body.

Just when Otto thought all was lost, he noticed a strange power emanating from within Wrendell's body. It was an unfamiliar force that was not his own. This power spread outward, resisting the mirror's influence.

Wrendell's eyes turned pitch-black, a sight Otto had never encountered before. The Sky Reflector Mirror failed to take over Wrendell as something was stopping it.

Before Otto could make sense of the situation, the seals on the mountainside reached their breaking point. His focus shifted urgently, leaving him little time to dwell on Wrendell’s unusual condition.

“So, the part that the mirror has occupied is just an empty shell. Its power fills this body, but it itself is asleep along with my brother's shattered soul,” Scathach explained.

“How is this possible? How could the Sky Reflector Mirror make such a mistake?” Otto asked in disbelief.

Scathach clarified, “This is due to my and my brother's intertwined fate, as well as this mountainside. I’ll explain more later. For now, let me help you.”

With that, Scathach spread her fingers, further reinforcing the seals. She then turned to Otto and said, “You can go ahead and undo the current seals.”

Otto was skeptical still, and Scathach understood his hesitation well. After all, her brother had never mentioned her to anyone.
