The giant 'self' stretched out his hand, like a child playing house, and swept it across, smashing all the mirrors and furniture in the room into pieces.
A finger as thick as a coffee table slammed hard against the edge of the snake circle, and the fingertip instantly turned black. However, the snake circle, which had remained motionless no matter how many fake bodies touched it, now let out a painful hiss, and then spider-web-like cracks appeared on the metal body.
The ashes accumulated on the ground were instantly lifted up by the huge movement of Aine, and then fell down one after another, as if it was raining ashes, just like the mood of Chihaya Aine herself at the moment.
Dark and desperate.
The black color on the giant Aine's fingertips quickly faded away after just a moment. Although there were no facial features, the girl could feel that the other party seemed to be grinning.
The next moment, the huge 'self' suddenly stretched out his hand, and slapped her with the force of Mount Fuji, as if he was going to kill a mosquito that had landed on the table!
The snake's hissing screams came to an abrupt halt, and its long body shattered into pieces. Even its original metallic luster completely faded, turning into grayish-white stones.
Everything happened too suddenly. It was too much for Chihaya Aine, who had been an ordinary girl before today and a Muggle who had never been exposed to the supernatural. At this moment, her mind was blank, and many strange thoughts emerged unconsciously.
I really am going to die.
Compared to the bottomless despair of being on the verge of death, the failure of studying abroad, which I had previously considered a major event, was truly insignificant. Why on earth was I so obsessed with such a thing that it even affected my daily life...
My good friends in the past might not even know that I have escaped back from England. But it seems that it is not bad to just disappear from their lives, at least they won't feel sad about me.
What were the last words I said to my parents? It seemed like my last words to my father were about my pocket money being too little, and my last words to my mother were about not liking the green peppers in her lunch box. Ah, what a terrible person I was. I went abroad on my own accord, failed, and had to transfer back to China, causing them so much trouble. And yet, I didn't even say a word to them before I died. I felt so guilty about them. I really loved them. If there was an afterlife, I hoped I could still be their daughter...
"I'm such an idiot..."
Facing the huge palm of "herself" coming down from the sky, the girl lowered her eyes and muttered to herself.
However, at this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded.
"You should go to church to confess."
The girl suddenly raised her head and saw a figure appear not far in front of her.
Li Mo, his whole body burning with red flames, blocked the girl behind him and looked at the huge monster in front of him with a relaxed expression.
While Chihaya Aine was stunned, someone hugged her from behind in a soft and warm embrace.
"It's okay now."
Chihaya Asagumo, who was hugging her schoolmate, spoke softly.
Chihaya Aine subconsciously looked at her and found that a crack like a broken mirror had appeared in the space behind Chihaya Asagumo at some point, and a pale silver flame was burning at the edge of the crack.
"But, but...that monster..."
The sight of the snake ring being destroyed so easily left a deep impression on Chihaya Aine.
"It doesn't matter,"
Chihaya Asagumo said confidently, "Because Takuma-kun is the strongest."
As if to confirm her words.
"【scale】"
Li Mo casually pointed towards the sky, and the huge palm of Aiyin seemed to have hit an invisible wall and was forced to stop.
"Right?"
Asagumo Chihaya winked at Chihaya Aine.
Chihaya Aine, who had relaxed, felt a huge sense of grievance and fear for some reason. This strange feeling made her unable to help but hug the senior who was actually not as tall as her.
He let out a muffled groan and burst into tears.
Li Mo turned his head to look at the girl who was crying so hard that she no longer cared about her ladylike image, and turned his head to the huge Aiyin who was standing high above him.
The latter had withdrawn his hand and slowly stood up, which made him look taller and more oppressive than when he was kneeling in front of the house just now.
A huge mirror has appeared behind it, and the mirror surface now has ripple effects like the surface of water.
"Quite clever..."
Li Mo muttered - although the opponent was very imposing, judging from its actions, it was obvious that it did not want to fight with him, but wanted to escape when it saw that the situation was not good.
"But when did you develop the illusion that you could escape from me..."
Chapter 266: Fishing.
In fact, the moment Chihaya Aine disappeared, Li Mo realized what had happened.
Although it is unknown why, the entrance of the girl's house is decorated with a small craft mirror with a frame style that looks a bit like classical European Rococo style.
The moment Chihaya Aine entered the house, she was dragged into the magical realm by a certain existence in the mirror - which was similar to the alien space that Yuigahama Yui and the others fell into.
Li Mo had fought with the monster in the mirror before. At that time, the other party's real body did not appear, and the harassment of the girl was only brief. Otherwise, it would not disappear every time Chihaya Aine calmed down. However, it is certain that the monster is not very powerful and is also very cautious.
Theoretically, this weak monster is unable to generate a magic mirror, but the mirror itself has the meaning of "space" and is often a cheap and easy-to-use prop for space-related rituals. Therefore, it is natural that it is easier to create a magic world than other monsters.
This is a very troublesome situation - the exit of the magic world with mirrors as the medium should be able to connect to other mirrors besides the strange main body.
In other words, unlike other monsters that are almost finished once their main bodies are smashed, the monster in the mirror may be able to hide in other mirrors and survive even if its main body mirror is destroyed.
Moreover, judging from the opponent's incredibly quick escape when Li Mo fought with him, this thing is probably quite timid.
So at the moment when Chihaya Aine was dragged into the magic world in the mirror, although Li Mo had already noticed it and had a way to invade it, he did not act rashly.
Firstly, the girl had the snake pendant he gave her, which had three spells on it: [Snake], [Scale], and [Candle]. Except for [Snake] which was a purely functional spell, [Scale] and [Candle] were both spells with excellent defensive performance. Ordinary monsters could not break through these two spells and cause harm to the girl; secondly, with Chihaya Aine's safety guaranteed, Li Mo planned to use her to fish.
After all, judging from the speed at which the monster escaped, if he had used his physical body to break through the space and enter the magic world in the mirror at the moment the girl was abducted, the monster in the mirror would probably have been scared away and hid.
In that case, even if he came out and destroyed the mirror in the girl's house, the other party could still continue to recuperate in other mirrors, and Li Mo would have to spend a lot of effort to catch it again.
And the facts were just as he estimated.
At first, the monster only used the fake bodies it had created to test the situation. However, after all of them failed in front of the snake pendant, its real body finally couldn't hold back and showed up.
At this time, if even its body cannot shake the snake pendant, it will probably run away immediately.
So after Li Mo discovered the other party's true form through the snake pendant, he immediately let the snake pendant play dead, making an appearance of "trying his best but unable to win", in order to give the monster some confidence.
When the monster felt that he had won and let down his guard and wanted to enjoy Chihaya Aine, Li Mo finally seized the opportunity and broke into the magic world in the mirror, smashing the opponent's original escape route.
Back to the present.
The huge 'Chihaya Aine' let out a shrill roar.
The mirror behind it shattered, but it didn't care about it. It just covered its face, or rather the mirror on its face, and struggled in pain.
Li Mo jumped up lightly.
The flame-woven feather garment on his body, the 'Cursed Flame Scales', burned fiercely, burning up the space in front of him.
Then, in the next instant, he appeared right before the giant Aine.
If this were done in reality, the stability of the space would be greatly reduced, and space earthquakes or black holes might even occur, so Li Mo had never done this. But in the magic world, it didn't matter. Anyway, even if this independent space collapsed, it wouldn't affect the real world.
After creating a foothold with his [Scales], he looked down at the giant Aine struggling in pain.
Even now he still can't figure out the essence of this weirdness, but this doesn't affect his ability to deal with it: just like most people don't know the composition of a mobile phone screen, but it doesn't affect them accidentally breaking it.
Li Mo stretched out his hand and released the magic spell [Candle] towards the opponent.
The next moment, blazing flames engulfed the giant Aine, burning along with her strange essence.
The huge Aine suddenly exploded, turning into many fireballs that splashed in all directions.
Several of them rushed towards Chihaya Aine and Asagumo Chihaya.
Li Mo took a glance and hooked his finger.
The snake pendant on the ground, which had been broken into pieces, immediately regained its color. The snake head opened its mouth and closed its eyes, spitting out a transparent bubble, protecting the two girls inside.
Those fireballs hit the seemingly fragile bubble like meteorites, but the bubble didn't even shake. Instead, the fireballs were smashed into pieces, leaving only some residues falling to the ground, still emitting fire.
Li Mo turned around and activated the cursed Flame Scale again.
In a flash, he came to the girls and glanced at Chihaya Asagumo who was comforting the crying Chihaya Aine. The girl winked at him slightly, so Li Mo didn't say anything more.
After nodding slightly at the girl, Li Mo's gaze fell on the fragments that were still burning on the ground, with a thoughtful expression.
At this time, the ground began to shake.
Li Mo and Chihaya Asagumo both looked up at the sky. The dark and deep mirror-like sky was covered with cracks and had begun to collapse.
Even Chihaya Aine stopped crying, looked up at the sky with sobs, and then became panicked.
Obviously, after losing the strange existence, the magic world in the mirror is about to begin to collapse.
"You guys go first, I have something else to do."
Li Mo said loudly.
"Takuma-kun..."
Chihaya Asagumo looked at him with some concern.
"Don't worry, even if this space really collapses, it won't affect me."
Li Mo shook his head indifferently.
Possessing the magic spell [Scales], he can theoretically survive in the void outside of reality.
Although she was still a little worried, Chihaya Asagumo still readily supported Chihaya Aine, who was still a little uneasy, and left the magic world in the mirror through the gap at the back that was still emitting pale silver flames.
Li Mo carefully examined the fragments on the ground that had not been completely burned.
"I see... I think I understand."
He murmured: "So this is your true nature..."
Chapter 267: Washing Machine Experience Report.
After a dizzying moment, Chihaya Aine found herself standing at the familiar entrance.
Beside her was Senior Chao Yun, who had been supporting her since just now.
At this moment, the senior who was half a head shorter than her was staring at the shoe cabinet next to her without blinking.
At the top of the shoe cabinet is the European decorative mirror that is used as an ornament.
This mirror was brought back by her father on a business trip a long time ago. It had been placed there when Chihaya Aine was still a junior high school student. She never expected that one day it would become the host of a strange thing.
At this time, the scene in the mirror was completely different from the past when it simply reflected the entrance. The center of the mirror was gray, as if it was obscured by smoke or something like that, while near the frame, there were tiny pale silver sparks that were invisible without a close look, dancing slightly, forming a bright patch.
Although Chihaya Asagumo didn't say it explicitly, Chihaya Aine felt that they might have escaped from that strange space through this patch that looked no bigger than a fingernail.
Just when Chihaya Aine calmed down a little and was about to ask something, the decorative mirror suddenly exploded.
No, it's not quite right to say it exploded. It was more like pouring boiling water into a frozen glass, and the whole thing burst open.
But there was no time to worry about the scattered glass fragments, as they were burned to ashes by the pale flames before they fell to the ground.
In the end, all that remained was a pile of white embers where the decorative mirror had been.
“…Um, Asakura-san…”
Chihaya Aine couldn't help but ask in a low voice with worry.
"Takuma-kun, he'll be fine."
Asagumo Chihaya asserted this.
However, Chihaya Aine could feel from her own hand, which was unconsciously squeezed so hard that it hurt, that although Asagumo-senpai said so, he was still very worried about Asakura-san.
Just a moment later, a vortex of fire suddenly appeared in the air above the entrance, and then Li Mo squeezed out from the center of the vortex while spinning around.
"Asakura-kun!"
"Takuma-kun!"
Came the girls' surprised voices.
But Li Mo made a 'pause' gesture to them.
"Wait a moment, let me calm down... Ugh..."
He leaned against the door frame and retched.
"Takuma-kun, are you okay?"
Chihaya Asagumo wanted to go forward and support him with concern on her face, but she had to pause here because of Li Mo's words.
"It's okay, I just feel a little dizzy from teleportation..."
