Girl in the Box: Please tell me why I was reincarnated as a mimic monster!

As I ran away, these thoughts swirled in my mind. The slime didn't say anything; it remained silent.

"What is belief?" the slime suddenly asked.

Hmmm, I can't explain it to you clearly right now, but following your instructions is definitely the right thing to do, right?

"...Of course."

Then I'll listen to you! Don't trick me!

"…………I guess so."

And so, the slime and I forcibly reached an agreement! But it doesn't seem very solid... I feel like I might be sold out...

Chapter 64 Joining Forces Again

Peller chased after it and threw a Serion at the mimic, but missed, allowing the mimic to continue running.

Peller channeled his magic to enhance his athleticism, accelerating his catch-up with the mimic, and casually drew Serion's sword, unleashing a swift strike.

The sword strike was incredibly heavy. The mimic didn't dodge it but took the hit directly. The sharp blade only cut in by a few millimeters. This mimic was really tough.

The mimic didn't make a sound at that time, as if it was stunned in place. Peller was too lazy to wait for it, so he raised his sword to finish it off.

Who knew that the mimic would suddenly roll forward twice and then fire a fireball at itself? This thing can actually fireballs?

Peller withdrew his sword, which had missed its target, and then used a cross slash to disperse the fireball, but the remaining flames still burned his skin. Meanwhile, the mimic continued to desperately flee.

Torture of the weak can be quite fun, especially since such weaklings are more likely to pique Peller's interest.

Serion drew his blood again, making it even sharper, and the blade gradually turned blood red, looking extremely terrifying.

What Peller didn't know was that the Serion would gradually drain his life force, and since all his attention was focused on the mimic, he naturally didn't notice this.

Now, it's a race between two lives: will Peller be killed by Serion first, or will the mimics be killed by Peller first?

Who knows?

"Spit me out."

no problem?

"No problem, I've recovered."

I listened to the slime and spat it out. It jumped onto my head and stuck there.

"You just run, I'll handle the attacks from behind."

I couldn't see what it was doing behind me, but having a partner help me deal with attacks from behind made me feel safe. I ran along the road, and this person followed very closely; even after so long, we still couldn't shake him off.

Instead, this guy got more and more excited, and I started to be caught up with him. Now, the slime is on my head helping me restrain him, which slowed his pace down.

However, I can see that the slime's MP is constantly decreasing, and its magic power is probably running out. If this continues, it may really not be able to escape.

"This human has gone mad."

The slime spoke to me telepathically while using magic.

I think it's pretty crazy too.

"Should we fight back? 30% chance of winning."

Do you know how to calculate win rate?

"Isn't this what's written in your book?"

How come I didn't know I had this kind of book?

Ah, no, actually maybe so, but I get a headache just looking at math... I do know the multiplication table, don't look at me like that!

Let's fight back; they probably can't escape now.

I'm too exhausted to run anymore. Seriously, there's no chance of winning a race against this kind of reckless madman. Turning back to fight is more practical.

I suddenly turned around and threw out the Scorching Thunder Heart without thinking. The person didn't even look closely at what it was before slashing at it with his sword.

Haha, you've fallen for it!

The azure lightning exploded instantly, and the slime didn't forget to use magic to finish it off, but it seemed to have no effect. This guy simply broke through the lightning and the slime's magic and rushed out.

"Hahahahaha!"

Ah... he really has become a madman... but what's with this perverted laugh?

The magic eye suddenly activated, revealing information about this madman.

Peller, LV.38, HP/MP: 784/347, Race: Human, Status: Berserk.

Wow, is it that scary?

"You should move to the left first."

The slime's warning jolted me into a sudden realization, and I quickly dodged to the left. Is this bastard named Peller? Why does he always use right-side diagonal slashes? Is he left-handed?

"Perhaps. It's already good enough that he didn't take another sword."

Suddenly, the slime raised a very important question, and I began to suspect that this guy named Peller was about to unleash a dual-wielding attack and charge at me shouting "Starburst Slash".

It turned out not to be, because this guy went berserk and didn't know what he was using; in short, his fighting style became simpler and simpler.

But the sword was getting faster and faster.

The sword in my eyes is no longer something I can see; I can only see a blood-red arc flashing past my eyes, and I can't escape the range of this attack at all.

The blades kept striking my shell, and the slime hid behind me to avoid being hit by the slashes; it seemed to be running out of magic power.

On the other hand, Peller's HP was inexplicably decreasing, while his MP remained largely unchanged, and his sword had turned completely blood red.

This sword is so strange. It hasn't broken even after being violently slashed so many times by Peller. The blade hasn't even become dull.

I tried to grab it with the pliers, but I pulled them back as soon as they touched the blade. The point of contact immediately opened. How did my shell last so long?

"Do you have any way to get him away from us?" the slime asked.

Yes, I do! But I don't have time to do it right now!

"Okay, I'll do it for you."

How can you help me?!

This guy talks the talk but doesn't walk the walk!

I couldn't see it at the time; it told me later that it cast a mocking spell on the back. Wow, thinking about it now, slimes are really omnipotent.

"What are you discussing...?!" Peller suddenly increased the force and sent me flying.

Hey?! Are you using a sword like a baseball bat?!

"Isn't that a good distance? (laughs)"

I can hear you laughing! Believe me or not, I'll throw you off right now!

"I don't believe it."

Hey... never mind, I really can't leave you behind.

"Hold your ground steady, I'm ready."

The slime crawled up my head from behind me, and aquamarine magic photons floated around me, but the magic circle that appeared in front of me was red.

I recognize the characters on the patterns; they are Earth's formula symbols and a series of other things. Magic flames have already ignited on the magic circle, and I know it is a terrifying magic even without it being released.

"Use one of your best spells to redirect its power elsewhere."

The slime seemed to be laughing, and laughing with great confidence.

"This magic might just kill us all."

Hmmmm, isn't this just a suicide attack?!

"Just focus on casting your spells and there won't be any problems."

Don't do that, you idiot! ? ! ?

"The technique just won't stop now. (laughs)"

Fuck you!

For some reason, Peller was managing to suppress the mimic with Serion and prevent it from escaping, but unexpectedly, he applied too much force and sent it flying.

As soon as it was knocked away, the slime crawled out, carrying with it a spell unlike any seen before; the magic circle even ignited with magical power.

The oppressive force released by this magic was unlike anything Peller had ever experienced. Peller was unable to move again for a moment, but he also burned his magic power in an attempt to kill the two monsters in one go.

To be honest, he was already very satisfied with how things had turned out. But that was all he could do.

They can't win...!

Chapter 65, oh well, it's still not over!

boom----!

The deafening explosion reached Nao's side, and the ground tremors disturbed the calm of the lake, causing stone pillars to fall continuously.

"Dragon Sparrow!"

Zhou Dong jumped down from the tree, and with him appeared an ice-blue divine bird with dragon horns on its head and its whole body wrapped in cold air.

The divine bird transformed into a wisp of cold air that gathered in Zhou Dong's hand, becoming an unstable beam of light shaped like a long blade. Although unstable, it appeared extremely sharp.

"Dragon Sparrow - Gale!"

Zhou Dong swung his sword at high speed in mid-air, and the cold air turned into sword energy, shattering all the falling stone pillars. He did not continue to smash those stones because there were still people helping him.

"Haaaaaaah!"

The tiny Xiao stood in the lake, raising her hands as if to lift the sky. A three-tailed fox phantom appeared and roared, shattering the remaining stones into powder.

Xiao didn't know why she was able to use it; she just did it subconsciously. She was completely baffled.

"Your Excellency Nao," Zhou Dong landed on the ground and went straight to Nao, "Are you alright?"

"Ah, thank you, I'm fine." Nao thanked Zhou Dong, then patted Xiao's head. "And you too, thank you."

"Hehehe~" Xiao wagged her tail like a puppy.

After confirming that Nao was safe, Zhou Dong returned to the tree. He didn't want to see the naked little girl, but he couldn't go up the tree in order to save them as soon as possible.

The knife in his hand transformed into a divine bird once more, fluttering around him, but his thoughts were not on that; they were on the explosion.

What kind of thing could have such power?

Everything in the Sanko Workshop was shaking violently due to the earthquake, and the members rushed to catch the falling materials. The whole kingdom is probably like this now, isn't it?

"Whoa?! Was there an earthquake?"

Xia Que, who had never experienced an earthquake in her life, was very flustered in this situation, but the people around her reached out and patted her head, which calmed her down.

"Calm down." Hao Er stroked her head to comfort her. "Two kinds of magic were burned away in one go over the maze."

"Eh……?"

“Yeah…and it burned up in an instant,” Alice chimed in. “The power of that explosion doesn’t seem like something ordinary magic could cause. What on earth did Peller do?”

"what……?"

"In short, we can't rule out the possibility that something big might happen," Hao said, looking at the mushroom cloud rising in the distance.

"What are you talking about?! Why can't I understand?! Don't kick me out?!"

“You don’t need to know this,” Hale and Alice replied to Summer Sparrow in unison.

Wow... that's terrifying...

All that was left was the spot where I was standing. The power of the explosion was terrifying. Fortunately, I used 'Twisting' to transfer all the power to Peller, but that wasn't enough. I had to use all the remaining rune stones to escape.

Right now, everywhere here is molten lava, and the ground beneath my feet is burning hot. The shell is also extremely hot, and I'm a little afraid that the slime on my head has already evaporated.

Gulu...

The red slime rolled off my head, but luckily I caught it in time and it didn't fall into the lava.

"Slime, LV.36, HP/MP: 243/0."

I saw the slime's condition through my magic eye. Its magic power was completely used up, but its HP had recovered a little. In short, it's best that it survived.

Well, I guess my situation isn't much better right now... I've really suffered a huge loss: a Blazing Heart, a grenade, four runestones... Ugh...

What exactly did you do...?
