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

After the silver magic circle dissipated, the mimic waved its pincers as if complaining about something, then quickly ran away. Xia Que had never seen that magic before, but she vaguely remembered Alice mentioning it to her.

Spatial magic...?

Xia Que could only recall this much information. She didn't know much about the specifics, but the magic she had just witnessed was enough to put her on guard.

Why is the fighting over there so intense?! Hey, you spearman in black, why aren't you fighting properly?! Why are you hiding your strength?! You're not some hidden master!

There are just so many things I want to complain about. He seemed like a rather unreliable spearman just a moment ago, but now that he's fighting Rielfa, he's like a demon. Why does this world always defy expectations? Damn it.

I watched the battle between the Lancers and Relfa, which seemed to be from another world. There was no way to intervene. It felt like I would be torn to shreds if I stepped into that area. Damn it, I was just trying to fight Relfa, but now it seems like I was just asking for death.

But this "inability to identify" thing is pretty amazing, isn't it? It just cut off Relfa's magic, it just cut it off! Can you really cut off magic like that?

I noticed Xiao Kan seemed to be doing it very easily...

No way, I'd better not try it. I might just end up getting myself into trouble.

I glanced at the "Irrecognizable" lady. She wasn't making any moves, probably waiting for an opportunity to rush in and take me down in one fell swoop.

Hmm, let's just stay like this, you see, isn't it better to be amicable like this? Let's not be greedy for this kind of thing anymore...?

As I was slowly moving away from the fight, she suddenly rushed over and swung her sharp-looking knife at me. I didn't care at all what would happen if that knife landed on me.

I instinctively used "Twist" to deflect the attack, and also twisted the tip of the blade behind her. She managed to pull the blade back in time, thus avoiding serious injury. I would have felt terrible if that blade had hit me.

This is my second time fighting humans. I still can't get used to killing them, but humans won't let me go, even if I have a human inside me. To humans, I am a harmful monster.

I don't want to fight humans either. Fighting monsters is so much better, but I am a monster. What can I do?

I tried to communicate with her using body language, but it was obviously useless. I could only try to get away from her as quickly as possible to avoid a fight.

It may look ugly, but say whatever you want. I just don't want to fight innocent people.

After all, what I'm best at is running away.

She cautiously chased after me, knife in hand. I didn't intend to fight her, and kept dodging her attacks. You want me to use 'Twisted'? No way, I can only use it five times now, and I've already used it once. I can only save it for avoiding fatal attacks.

The sound of a sword cutting through the air came from behind me. I immediately changed direction to dodge, causing the attack to miss, and then ran back the way I came. Unexpectedly, she raised her hand and swung the sword again. Please, I really don't want to fight you.

"What are you doing?! You stupid box! —"

Hmm... what's that voice?

The words entered my mind directly, and that barbed tone was all too familiar. Slime...?!

No sooner had I finished speaking than I saw the slime's magic come flying from a great distance, and it was aimed right at me! Hey!? Which side are you on?! These fireballs are all aimed at me!?

I immediately retreated back into the box, letting the fireballs hit my shell. Because of my fire resistance, the fireballs had no effect on me. The girl stopped immediately when she saw the unknown magic hitting me; she was probably trying to find the source of the magic.

Why are you hitting me?! Idiot!?

"Then why don't you fight back, you idiot!?"

I yelled back using my mind and then came out of the shell. The slime retorted with a perfectly reasonable question. By the way, where did it learn that "baka"? It's so cute... I didn't get a nosebleed... I didn't!

I saw the "Meteor Shower" magic suddenly descend from the sky, the slime turning red and sticking to it before flying down and crashing into the spot where the girl had been standing. This magic was so powerful, how could the girl not see it?! Seriously, can "Meteor Shower" really be used like that?! You actually use "Meteor Shower" as a means of transportation so casually?! Look at this! This is a monster!

"Because I don't want to fight humans," I explained to the slime.

"That's no excuse! You idiot!" The slime slammed into me, knocking me to the ground. "If I tried to kill you, wouldn't you fight back?!"

"No!" I declared firmly.

I don't know why the slime suddenly fell silent for a while. Was it that surprised?

"...To put it another way, if the dragon ants wanted to kill you, would you fight back?"

"That's true."

Dragon ants are a lifelong enemy!

"Then why don't you fight back?!"

The slime rammed into me again. It seems I have no choice but to fight that girl... Can I control my strength a little?... I guess not, the slime will probably yell at me...

"Call them back with me right now and come help!"

The slime jumped off me and looked at the bewildered girl. Haha, I know it's a very illogical scene, but I really can't beat it...

In short, let's put in some effort... or we'll get yelled at...

How did it get up here so quickly? It usually takes us half an hour to get here from the Perseus Tree. Wasn't the purification ritual just completed? How did it move so fast?

Chapter 46 Two Unusual Monsters

What just happened...?

This was the first question that arose in Xia Que's mind. What she saw were several fireballs coming from afar. At first, she thought they were magic attacks, but unexpectedly, the treasure chest monster crouched down and shrank into itself.

Are treasure chest monsters like this?

Xia Que had never actually thought about what a mimicry would look like, but she never imagined it would be the kind of creature that would shrink into a box when it encountered danger... somewhat like a hedgehog...

Then, Xia Que heard a very loud sound coming from the sky. When she looked up, she found that a meteorite was hitting her.

Xia Que wasn't confident she could cut the meteorite down with a sword like the characters in those cartoons, so she chose to avoid the rapidly falling meteorite.

Fortunately, it was just a meteorite, and it was easy to dodge. Xia Que dodged the meteorite, which landed in an empty space, creating a large crater.

Then, a red figure suddenly flew out from the meteorite and knocked down the mimic.

Eh……

If Xia Que wasn't mistaken, the creature that knocked over the mimic was probably a slime. Could a slime really be that powerful? Are all the impressions of such monsters on Earth wrong?

Xia Que looked completely bewildered, not knowing how to react at all, while the slime seemed to be wrestling and arguing with the mimic.

"Are you alright, Your Highness, Hero?"

"Everyone..."

The Black Knight and his two companions rushed over, seemingly having encountered some formidable opponent, their equipment severely damaged. But now that they were here, Xia Que suddenly felt much more at ease. Truly, very at ease.

"I'm fine, thank you." Xia Que nodded to indicate that she was alright. "What happened to you?"

"Haha, Moon Raven ran into a demon, and then we started fighting." The Black Knight laughed. "But we're alright! As long as my shield remains intact, your lives are in my hands!"

"So reliable..." Seria smiled helplessly.

"Instead of that, why is Hao'er fighting the Dragon King?" Mo Yueya asked.

Everyone glanced at Hao'er's side, where the battle was almost beyond human comprehension, allowing no one else to intervene. Anyone who stepped into the area would likely be caught in the intense fighting and torn to pieces in an instant.

Om-!

"Ugh! Everyone, quickly hide behind me!"

The Black Knight shouted, raising his shield towards the mimic and slime. In the brief moment they looked away, someone had already constructed so many magical circles aimed at them.

Seria was the first to react, hiding behind the Black Knight and simultaneously beginning to chant a counter-attack spell. Once she was within the protective range of the great shield, all the magic circles activated and erupted at the same time. Without exception, these spells were all water-based "Water Blade Strike," with rapidly spinning water discs raining down on them.

"Talk to them while dealing with them."

Even under such tense circumstances, Mo Yueya's tone remained unchanged. He made the black crows circling around him fly at high speed, turning into a black whirlwind that knocked all the water plates off.

Since Xia Que couldn't handle so many water basins at the same time, she temporarily used the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow to block some of them and then hid behind the Ink Moon Crow.

The barrage of projectiles never stopped, attacking them at full speed. At that moment, Seria's magic was finally complete.

"Let the storm dance! Sing praises to the world's greatness! Child of the wind! Cleanse this world with endless blades of wind! 'Ode to the Weasel'!"

Om-!

A cyan magic circle unfolded before everyone, and the weasel pattern at its center suddenly moved, unleashing countless wind blades that clashed with the magic cast by whoever it was, neutralizing the effect of the water basin.

"So what exactly happened?!" The Black Knight swung his shield aside, clearing away the leaking water tray, and shouted.

"I don't know why! The Dragon King only approached my master! He showed no intention of fighting me!"

While answering the Black Knight's question, Xia Que gripped the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow and charged towards the two monsters opposite. Seria deliberately manipulated magic to avoid Xia Que, allowing it to rush straight to the two monsters. Only then did Seria see their opponents clearly.

"Hey! Why are there slimes and mimics?" Seria couldn't understand why she had used such powerful magic.

In her mind, both types of monsters were easy to defeat, especially the weakest slime. But what she saw next changed her mind.

The mimic stepped forward, extending its pincers to block Xia Que's giant Xia Long Que. Then, the slime suddenly jumped up and rammed into Xia Que's head, knocking Xia Que down.

"Black Knight, go quickly."

With Hale absent, Mo Yueya once again took over the command role. Hearing his shout, the Black Knight rushed to Xia Que's side and swept his shield around. The mimic retreated into its box and was swept away, while the slime suddenly vanished.

"Woo..."

Xia Que struggled to her feet, seemingly suffering a temporary concussion from the powerful impact of the slime; her vision blurred. The Black Knight approached her and helped her up, but Seria stopped him.

"Black Knight! Put down your shield!"

"Gurgle—?!"

The Black Knight was momentarily confused about what was happening. A powerful electric current suddenly surged through his shield. He immediately pushed Xia Que away to protect her from the shockwave, but it was too late for him to drop the shield.

“Ahhhhhhhh?!”

The electric current erupted completely, wrapping around the black knight's entire body. Because he was wearing metal armor, the current flowed entirely into the armor.

"damn it!"

Seria casually unleashed a wind blade, knocking away the slime stuck to the Black Knight's shield. The slime had actually stuck to the Black Knight's shield for a split second, turned golden, and was even able to release electricity to shock the Black Knight.

To avoid the incoming wind blades, the slime broke free from the Black Knight's shield, allowing the Black Knight to escape the electricity, but it seems he is temporarily unable to fight.

"'Ink type'."

Mo Yueya transformed Mo Ya back into black ink, then swept it across the void with Bai Ze brush, quickly drawing a picture. Seria recognized it as a black and white ink chimera.

"go!"

The ink-wash chimera suddenly came to life and rushed to the Black Knight's side along with the ink-wash raven. The chimera pounced on the mimic, and several beast heads attacked the mimic simultaneously, forcing the mimic to fight back against the chimera.

When the slime saw the mimic being attacked by the chimera it was meeting for the first time, it immediately rammed into it, knocking the chimera aside.

"This is ridiculously strong," Mo Yueya muttered to himself.

Mo Yueya helped the still dizzy Xia Que back to Seria's side, handed her over to Seria for emergency treatment, and then continued back to the front line. By then, the slime had already used magic to knock off all the heads of the chimeras.

He remembered the rumors that had been circulating not long ago, and he suddenly understood why that slime was so strong. It turned out that this was the slime with the ability to switch attributes.

“Black Knight, come help me as soon as you recover,” Mo Yueya said, retracting the ink she had used on the Chimera. “I’ll buy you some time. Lend me your shield.”

Click.

The Black Knight nodded, the sound of his armor clanging together. That was all he could do for now, as he was still paralyzed.

Mo Yueya walked towards the Black Knight's shield, and at the same time quickly drew a watercolor figure similar to the Black Knight. The watercolor figure picked up the shield as it passed by and ran ahead of Mo Yueya.

Mo Yueya drew another black raven circling around him. At this moment, he was about to challenge two monsters among monsters, who could even be called demons.

However, they couldn't possibly be stronger than that vampire.

The Moon Raven was absolutely confident that it could hold them off.

Chapter 47 Ink

The Inkman... well, let's just call it the Ink Knight for now.

The Ink Knight, wielding the Black Knight's shield, charged ahead, followed by the Ink Moon Raven. As they advanced, the Ink Knight tossed a small jar at the slime and the mimic. The mimic smashed the jar with its pincers, revealing that it contained ink.

The jet-black ink stained the mimic, turning it into a black box. The slime, bewildered and disgusted, ran away and then unleashed a barrage of magical attacks on the Moon Raven.

The Moon Raven returned to the Moon Knight's back. The Moon Knight blocked all the attacks with its shield, but the Moon Knight's shape was already unstable. The Moon Raven immediately restored its lines, and the Moon Knight stabilized again before continuing forward.

The Ink Knight drawn by Ink Moon Crow is merely an ordinary imitation; it could not possibly possess the intelligence of the Black Knight. Furthermore, when Ink Crescent Moon applied its properties, it only granted it stability, without any particularly special characteristics.

For example, the Chimera's bestial nature—the Ink Chimera can only act autonomously by relying on the bestial nature exerted by the Ink Moon Crow, while the Ink Knight is merely a puppet that can only defend. But that's enough, because the Ink Moon Crow has already reached within its control range.

"'Ink type'!"

The ink on the mimic suddenly came to life, and Mo Yueya used his magic to manipulate it from a distance to create the strongest monster he had ever seen before—the 'Skeleton King'.

A massive skeleton, composed entirely of ink wash, rose from the ground. Its cloak and armor were also made of ink wash, yet this did not diminish its imposing presence. It raised its greatsword, slashing it horizontally at its enemies, unleashing a fierce gust of wind. The mimics caught in the gust were instantly blown away.

"It's done."

Mo Yueya's plan succeeded. He immediately turned the Mo Knights who were blocking his way back into ink paintings, used Bai Ze to quickly draw several Mo crows and a Mo sword, and then recalled Bai Ze.

After continuous battles, Mo Yueya's magic power was almost completely exhausted. The Skeleton King had used up most of it, and now he only had a portion of his magic power left as a reserve to maintain Mo Yueya and Mo Jian.

Under the command of Ink Moon Crow, the Ink Skeleton King picked up its shield and charged forward as the vanguard towards the Mimic that it had just blown away. Before the Mimic could even land, the Skeleton King leaped up and swung its greatsword down with a mighty slash.
