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

His golden eyes burned with scorching flames, while the blue flames on his body were cold, yet they could make people feel a heat that was almost scalding.

But I failed to reach the level he expected.

Xia Que is very weak, known as the weakest hero in history, and even his "Holy Sword" is only extremely sharp.

She was unilaterally suppressed by Zhou Tai from the very beginning, with no room for counterattack. The other party did not hold back either, focusing wholeheartedly on the battle in front of him.

Should I... not have fought him...?

While Xia Que was thinking about these things, Zhou Tai's blade had already penetrated five millimeters deep into her own. If this continued, it would break.

Clang——!

Xia Que used all her strength to push Zhou Tai away, then quickly stood up. Zhou Tai, who had been thrown away, showed a momentary look of surprise, then quickly closed in on Xia Que and pinned her down.

Xia Que, emboldened by some unknown source, directly engaged Zhou Tai in a knife fight.

Don't be afraid! Remember what Hale taught us!

Clang! Crack ...

"—!"

Xia Que not only blocked Zhou Tai's knife, but also dodged his attack, slashing at Zhou Tai's blade with her own. Startled by this unorthodox technique, Zhou Tai had no choice but to withdraw his knife and avoid the blow.

Then he realized he had made a huge mistake.

Both of their swords were the same length, so even if Xia Que grazed his own blade and managed to inflict effective damage, Zhou Tai could do the same. But from this point on, Xia Que launched a fierce and relentless attack.

The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow slashed from the lower right corner, which Zhou Tai blocked. Unexpectedly, the Dragon Sparrow released its blade and punched Zhou Tai in the face.

This unexpected punch sent Zhou Tai back a step. Xia Que immediately crouched down, grabbed the fallen Xia Long Que, and then slashed with all her might.

"Dragon Sparrow - Dark Surge!"

Click——!

Zhou Tai immediately plunged the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow into the ground, blocking the attack and launching a counterattack, severing all the ice blades protruding from the ice surface.

"Haaaaaaah!"

Ding--!

A whirlwind-like sword aura roared up, breaking through the ice and slashing towards Zhou Tai. It wasn't until Xia Que saw the whirlwind-like sword aura that she realized it was her who had used it.

"Dragon Sparrow - Draw Sword".

Ding-click!

However, Zhou Tai broke through the sword energy in the blink of an eye, but the gale stirred up by the sword energy still rushed towards Zhou Tai, causing his long hair to fly in the wind. Xia Que saw this and laughed.

Then, Zhou Tai struck a pose, his imposing manner reaching its peak. If it were Xia Que from not long ago, she would probably have been too intimidated to stand up.

However, she was still standing, and she knew what Zhou Tai was going to do. She could vaguely sense that she also knew that move... She suddenly understood something.

Then, she adopted the same posture and looked at Zhou Tai.

“Come on, successor.” Zhou Tai revealed a hearty smile. “This is the last one.”

"I'm sorry..." Xia Que remained silent for a long time before finally uttering these words.

despair.

The two started moving at the same time, unleashing a triple strike that surpassed the divine realm, and collided.

"Dragon Sparrow - Absolute Wind"...

Xia Que's Great Xia Dragon Sparrow cleaved open Zhou Tai's chest. There was no blood left on his body; he had only managed to hold on until now through sheer willpower. Now, he was free.

The spirit bird circled around him, sending off its final call as a funeral song for its first master.

Beneath the Tree of Perseus, yet another flower of the soul has withered.

Chapter 40 My Name is "Hakoniwa"

"Zhou Tai left too...?"

Gradually, the familiar scents disappeared. The slime sat beside the box, keeping watch, while Akatsuki slept on its lap.

The three people who were supposed to be here are no longer here; instead, these three are guarding this place.

The remains of Raelfa guard this place, turning it into a dragon's tomb. All the Soul Flowers have withered, and the light of the Perseus Tree is growing dimmer.

Soon, this place will lose all its light.

The slime snapped her fingers, causing a ball of light to spring from her fingertip to provide a light source. After adjusting the output and magical power of the ball of light, she prepared to leave.

She had to leave first because Zhou Tai was no longer there, and soon humans would arrive, so she had to hold them off.

“Ry, I’ll be back in a little while…” the slime gently stroked the box, “You have to hurry…”

After a brief farewell, she left in the dark, determined to stop the humans from entering. But little did she know, someone would accidentally stumble upon her using the same route they had taken before.

That's the road that Lelfa used to play tricks on people, the road that could scare people to death.

"Whoa ...

豱辱辱辘~

The person rushed out of the extremely long slide, then tumbled at high speed and crashed into the trunk of the Perseus Tree before finally coming to a stop.

"Ouch, ouch, ouch..."

The man was pressing his head; it looked like he had hit his head.

"Wang! Wang!"

"Oh, you're still here."

This person even brought a dog; they showed absolutely no sense of urgency. This is a maze, after all, even though those humans have already conquered it.

This person was not actually a member of the expedition team; he had just arrived today. Then, he bumped into a nobleman at the entrance, who gave him a commission.

The task is to retrieve a treasure chest deep within the maze.

Speaking of the depths of a maze, common sense dictates that there's probably nothing there besides the Dragon King...

Treasure chests are a must, since dragons all share a fondness for gold and silver, so it's only natural that they would collect jewels.

The nobleman's goal was that treasure chest belonging to the Dragon King; that was what he truly desired.

The reward offered was quite substantial, but since they were going to steal the treasure chest anyway, why bother with the reward? That was the person's thought, but they couldn't refuse.

After all, he was just an ordinary commoner, and his backing was nowhere near that of the nobles, so he had no choice but to refuse.

That reward was enough for him to squander for a lifetime, which shows just how important the contents of that treasure chest were.

The dog he brought barked twice, then disappeared into the darkness.

"Huh? Where are you going?!"

The man tried to call the dog back, but it was running too fast and he couldn't find it anymore. Oh well, it wasn't his dog to begin with.

He dusted himself off, stood up in the dark, and groped his way through the darkness. In the dim light, he could vaguely see several huge bones standing upright, which were probably the corpse of the Dragon King. It seemed that he had already been defeated.

The dragon was full of treasures, so it was only natural that the adventurers divided them all up. But why were only the dragon bones left? He couldn't understand it. Perhaps they were too heavy, and the adventurers were too lazy to carry them.

Then he noticed a single glimmer of light in the center of these dragon bones, and in that light was a treasure chest.

He found it; the treasure chest that would give him enough money to squander for a lifetime if he just took it back was right here.

His heart couldn't help but feel hot, and his whole body was burning with desire, urging him to hurry up and grab the treasure chest and then run away.

I don't know why only treasure chests are left, but getting them is enough!

Unfortunately, he didn't notice that it wasn't him who was getting hot; the entire space was heating up. Just as he picked up the treasure chest and was about to leave, a dragon's roar resounded.

'—! ! '

He quickly sped up, trying to leave before that thing appeared. He couldn't handle a dragon alone, but clearly, he couldn't escape.

boom--!

The enormous creature crashed through the top of the maze and landed directly in front of him; the intense sense of oppression he felt there would never be forgotten.

"Why...why are there dragons here?!" he shouted in exasperation.

It was a winged dragon covered in red scales, breathing fire; even a fool would know what it was.

The number one ranked dragon king is Flame Salid.

Salid glanced at the treasure chest in the man's hand, then closed his eyes and thought for a moment before nodding.

"Human, put down the treasure chest in your hands," Salid commanded him.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty! I'll put it down right away!"

To save his life, the man carefully placed the treasure chest on the ground, and the chest trembled slightly. Salid looked at the chest, then reached out to pick it up, placed it behind his back, and looked at the man.

"burn."

Salid activated its Word of Power. To it, anyone who harms its companions is an enemy, and enemies must be eliminated. Therefore, it did not hesitate to kill that person.

“Haa ...

At that moment, an untimely yawn suddenly sounded, causing Salid to pause and then turn somewhat awkwardly behind him.

"Waaah... Is it morning already? Ah... Little Sa, I told you not to kill anyone, didn't I? Rielfa will be angry... 'Release'."

The treasure chest opened, and a slender hand reached out, snapping its fingers to dispel the spell. The creature inside grabbed the edge of the chest and climbed out, then looked at the idiot beside it who was still in his dragon form.

She was wearing a loose-fitting top that was just big enough to cover her private parts.

She touched her dark red hair, and the ends gradually turned a bright red, which seemed to be a little beyond her expectations.

Most importantly, she has breasts, and they look like a C-cup, which is much better than when she was on Earth, something she desperately wanted.

This body... was given to me by Relfa...

This body originally belonged to Relfa, but now it belongs to Li. Only some of Relfa's features remain, while everything else is as Li had envisioned.

"Well... I was just teaching humanity a lesson." Salid turned his head away somewhat guiltily.

In fact, they had already made contact. The moment Li became the Dragon King, her consciousness connected to a secret realm among the Dragon Kings, which could be called the Dragon King Network.

She discovered that she knew something about the other dragon kings, and at that time, she happened to run into Salid.

Salid had seen Raelfa's distress signal not long ago and flew here day and night. Li also possessed some of Raelfa's memories, knew about the relationship between Raelfa and Salid, and thus knew about some of their agreements.

One of these rules is that killing humans is forbidden. She had emphasized this point to Salid once before in the Dragon King Network.

But clearly he hadn't complied. Li reprimanded him first, then looked at the intruder. The intruder had been staring at him for a long time; he stood up awkwardly, and he was clearly blushing.

I've never encountered a situation like this before; when the other person gets nervous, I can't help but get nervous too.

"Don't be nervous..." she said shyly, "You're making me nervous too... I've already taught that stupid dragon a lesson, you can leave now, please don't do this kind of thing again."

Li quickly and decisively ended the conversation, then turned to Salid, who now wished she could hide behind him immediately; she was too embarrassed to look at herself like this.

"that--!"

"Ugh!?"

The other person suddenly called out to Li, startling Li so much that she almost let out some strange sound.

"Who are you? What's your name?" the man asked, mustering his courage.

Li's mind suddenly went blank, then he couldn't help but smile; the answer had always been in his heart.

"My name is 'Hakoniwa,' a mimic born one year ago."

"Hakoniwa" is the title of the newborn Dragon King and also her future surname. She did not reveal her name to him, but that was enough.

Chapter 41 The Time-Space Dragon King - Reason

After watching the intruder leave, Li finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the big brother behind him had been eager to make a move, and Li was just a newly born dragon king, so he definitely couldn't defeat it.

First, why is the situation like this now?

Because the transfer ceremony was too rushed, Li's body still retains some of Rielfa's characteristics.

For example, her hair. Her hair, which was affected by her own attributes, would turn into a very dark red. Now, because it was neutralized by the white hair of Rielfa, the color of her hair has become lighter.

Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that things may change in the future.

But right now, I don't have time to care about my own situation anymore.

“Salid, can you become human?” Li asked.
