All the nether mist that was summoned by the Nether Domain all gathered in to a sphere that is six inches away from Berserk Adrian's mouth. Chidaide also gathered energy as the eyeball on his chest started to shine in a green light that is as powerful as what Adrian is gathering.
Silence crept the area for a split second until beams of different energies are fired by the two opposing forces. Berserk Adrian's attack had a thick color of the nether mist which is black, gray and white while having a purple outer shell. Chidaide's attack is fired by the beam of his chest eye that has a ghastly green color.
The two beams collided at the same time while causing a path of destruction upon their traversed path. The mirror floor cracked immediately even though the beams were not fire directly at it. The point where the two beams intersected is the part that is heavily damaged.
The point on mirror floor where the two beams intersect started cracking and its size kept increasing. It did not take long for spider web like cracks to start appearing all across the mirrored floor. The attacks of each individual is strong enough to crack the floor but combined made it more powerful.
The cracking of the mirrored floor is actually in favor of Adrian because the mirrored floor represents the soul of the current owner of the Soul Reflecting Mirror. The attack that Chidaide released is a double edge sword as it also hurt him.
The confrontation of the two is now up to the person that could use their energies well. The one who could outlast the other would win the confrontation as the one who loses energy first would get their blasted to oblivion. Adrian did not like that he is winning without effort because he is not even controlling his body but a win is a win as long as he is not the loser.
Berserk Adrian is winning because nether energy is volatile and the effect of the nether domain has yet to cease. Berserk Adrian abused the unlimited supply of nether energy and his own innate mana pool to overpower Chidaide. His soul essences also helped as just by damaging the mirrored floor granted him an essence.
Soon, the point where the two beams converged is slowly shifting towards Chidaide. The mirrored floor also finally cracked and revealing a bottomless abyss. The fragments of this mirrored floor started falling to this bottomless abyss and no sound is heard proving that it might be bottomless.
Chidaide started bleeding from his orifices and the beam being fired from his chest eye is slowly waning. Berserk Adrian's nether beam is starting to overpower the demented shaman while breaking the mirrored floor. It did not take long for Berserk Adrian to push with full power that made his beam envelop Chidaide.
The nether beam enveloped Chidaide and the pressure shattered the mirrored floor thereby shattering the soul of the demented shaman as well. The nether beam did not end but Adrian's transformation did but his soul is already sent out of the pocket dimension because Chidaide's soul is already vanquished.
Adrian did not notice that a fanged mouth swallowed Chidaide's soul when the former's nether beam hit the latter. Adrian's true form is released and he returned to his demon form thereby also releasing him from being berserk.
In the outside world, Adrian and Chidaide's body is covered by a clear glass barrier that would deflect any harm towards them while their souls are inside the mirror pocket dimension. Adrian's soulbounds tried destroying the glass like barrier but it was sturdier than they could expect.
Adrian's soulbound just waited when their attacks did nothing as even Sirius' Ragnarok did not scratch the glass barrier. Soon enough, the glass barriers shattered. Adrian gasped for air like he woke up from drowning while Chidaide's body just fell on the ground with a thud.
Adrian regained his control over his body so much so that he started cherishing it by hugging himself. His soulbounds did not question Adrian's action because of their undying loyalty to him. After being comforted by himself, Adrian decided to check on Chidaide as the demented shaman's body is not moving.
"I beat him right but the Soul Reflecting Mirror has yet to come to my possession?" Adrian thought as he kicked Chidaide's body to see if the old man is alive.
If anyone saw what Adrian is doing, he would be frowned upon because he is kicking the corpse of an old man. Adrian is about to loot the old man when a cracked mirror floated above the latter's corpse. The cracked mirror then emitted a flash of light that turned the body of Chidaide into a mist form and sucked the mist into it.
The mist slowly covered the mirror as the cracks became fixed. It seems that the mirror used up whatever's left of Chidaide in order to fix the damage he caused to the mirror. Adrian instinctively reached out for the mirror and it responded in kind.
[The Soul Reflecting Mirror has been obtained and has been registered as a Psyche Armament.]
[Due to the Soul Reflecting Mirror being the quest item, you cannot use it for the duration of the quest. The full abilities will be unlocked once you clear this quest.]
The Soul Reflecting Mirror transformed into a beam of light and pierced Adrian's forehead to become a part of his Psyche Armaments. He decided to leave now but he saw smoke in the distance and that is the location of the city of Shangri-La. It seems that war has reached their gates.
Since the Soul Reflecting Mirror is what Adrian was looking for, he decided to honor his promise towards Diao Chan. It would not make much of a difference because they would still be hunted down or worse. When Adrian saw flashes of lightning in the distance, he teleported with his soulbounds to the teahouse.
Unknown to Adrian that he was still being watched by the higher order being that made him go berserk.
