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

The white figure did not respond, but stood silently in the rain, its eyes, hidden in the shadow of the hood, fixed on Xuanze, one hand gripping the spear tightly.

"When was the last time we met?" Xuanze held out his hand and pretended to count. "It must have been about five months, right? Haha, I'm so happy to see you've made new friends."

Xuanze's words gradually turned cold, each one like a cold knife in the rain aimed at the white figure, full of mockery.

"Priest Hoel, how are you doing?"

Xuanze unleashed the magic he had been preparing for a long time.

boom----!

A torrent of magic swept across the battlefield, splitting it in two, but the spell missed the white figure.

Dressed in white and wearing a green hat, that was none other than the kingdom's "ghost," and also its priest—Hol.

Hao'er dodged the torrent of magic in time, then quickly approached Xuanze from the side and thrust out the spear in his hand.

"The Holy Sword - The Register of Divine Weapons!"

call--!

A fierce wind howled, and golden light surged from a pendant at Xuanze's waist, turning the battlefield golden.

“Gangniel!”

The light emanating from the pendant condensed in Xuanze's hand, transforming into a silver-white spear with a diamond-blue light flowing from its tip. This was the divine spear of the Norse chief god—'Gungnir'.

"Stacking the 'Spear of Indra' and the 'Vajra'!"

Boom! ! !

Golden electricity enveloped the silver spear, flowing continuously across it like a coiled dragon. After the two divine weapons were superimposed, Gungnir's aura intensified several times over.

Xuanze deflected Hao'er's attack with a sweeping motion, and electricity quickly coiled around his spear. But just as it was about to penetrate his body, Hao'er decisively let go.

Then, he took out a small dagger from inside his white coat.

"Pray to 'break the demon,' 'preserve,' and 'shatter' the demon."

"—?!"

Hale chanted prayers three times in a row, and not only were the three prayers successful, but they were also completed simultaneously, and golden runes appeared on the blade of the small dagger.

Just seeing the glowing dagger made Xuanze feel a strong sense of threat.

Ignoring the lightning bolts binding the divine spear, he forcefully blocked Xuanze's counterattack with his hand, and then thrust the dagger towards Xuanze's chest.

"Fafner's Fangs—!"

At the critical moment, Xuanze successfully activated the Divine Weapon Register, freeing his hand to grab the divine weapon that had just been formed of golden light and block the glowing dagger.

The dagger and the divine weapon shattered simultaneously. Xuanze dispersed 'Gangnir' and unleashed magic beneath his feet.

"Blooming on the Other Shore!"

Chapter 54

Flames exploded from the ground, like spider lilies blooming, their heat radiating through the rain. Two figures emerged from these flower-like flames.

Da da.

Xuanze escaped from the fire, and the remaining flames on his body were extinguished by the heavy rain. Hao'er also dodged the magic without suffering any harm.

"As expected..." Xuanze glared at him, "You're not just a simple priest, are you?"

With his extraordinary reaction speed and action, decisive judgment, and the ability to shatter divine weapons with just a dagger, it's possible that the priest Hoel is just using a facade.

“Tell me,” Xuanze demanded coldly, “why did you do this? Why did you kill the hero?”

"Sorry, no comment."

Hao'er's indifferent voice came from under his hood. He silently picked up his spear and once again took a stance, aiming it at Xuanze.

“But,” Hale declared, “'Demon King'... former 'Hero,' you must die here.”

"Wow, if you can do it, give it a try."

Boom boom boom!

Magical flames burned beneath his feet; this was a burning phenomenon caused by the full-speed operation of magic, which could accelerate the reaction speed of magic.

He had long anticipated this day would come; that bald man would never let him wander around knowing the truth, but it was quite surprising that he had only come knocking on his door now.

After his divine weapon was shattered by Hao'er's dagger, Xuanze became wary. With that glowing dagger, Hao'er was definitely capable of killing him.

Therefore, he cannot afford to hold back here; the opponent is capable of killing him. For now, Xuanze cannot die; he still wants to eliminate that bald man from the kingdom.

"Homemade Legion".

The magical flames turned earthy, and a magical circle unfolded from the ground, causing earthlings to rise one by one. This was earth magic, which Xuanze used to create helpers to restrain Hao'er. As its name suggests, it could even create an army of earthlings.

“Avoid water.”

Xuanze waterproofed the natives so they could continue fighting in the heavy rain. He used the Divine Weapon Catalogue to manufacture several weapons and then gave them to the natives to use.

Although these natives are not very intelligent, they can still perform simple actions. Xuanze doesn't have time to create more powerful natives right now.

Haul burst through the rain, his spear flashing with a cold light as he swept across. The natives with shields immediately rushed to the front and raised their shields to block the attack.

The force traveled from the shield through its hand to its body, causing the native's body to begin to disintegrate. Hale withdrew his gun, intending to deliver a final kick to completely destroy it, but was then met with a barrage of arrows.

"...!"

He dodged the arrow by sidestepping it, but the shield-wielding native rammed into him, throwing him off balance. He managed to stay upright by using his spear to maintain his balance on the ground.

"This arrow can track its target!"

When Hao'er looked up, he saw Xuanze rushing down from the sky, dragging lightning with him. What Xuanze said caught Hao'er's attention: the arrows that had turned back were now more numerous.

"Thunderous Explosion!"

Xuanze swung his fist, which was imbued with lightning, at Hao'er. As soon as the fist struck Hao'er, the lightning on it exploded, and Hao'er was sent flying in a flash of lightning.

The arrow changed direction again, aiming at the blown-away Hale, and shot towards him through the rain at an even faster speed.

Hao'er took off his white coat, turned around, and used it like a bag to collect all the incoming arrows before tossing it to Xuanze.

Xuanze used magic to burn the coat along with the arrows, and then he noticed the spears thrown behind the coat, but he had no time to defend himself.

boom!

The native wielding Thor's hammer slammed it into the ground with all his might, summoning lightning that deflected the spear aimed at its master, but the hammer itself disintegrated from the impact. Yet, it had fulfilled its mission admirably.

"You've been a huge help!"

Although the opponent lacked intelligence, Xuanze was still grateful to it. He seized the opportunity when Hao'er's posture collapsed and chanted the strongest fire magic in one breath.

"Mebius's Sword of Divine Punishment - Great Sin Overlord Soul!"

The magic circle unfolded, and magical flames scorched the runes. The azure flames transformed into a Valkyrie, wielding a giant sword burning with heavenly fire, and unleashed a divine slash, a slash that split the heavens and the earth.

Hale took out the dagger he had stored at his waist, infused it with his magic, and began to pray, blessing the dagger.

"Pray, 'Demon Slayer,' 'Divinity,' 'Shatter'!"

He prayed for the dagger once more, and the gods and magic responded, granting it triple protection. When the dagger emitted light, he forcefully hurled it at the greatsword that was slashing at him.

bump--!

After the gleaming dagger and the greatsword collided, both shattered and crumbled simultaneously. The greatsword, along with the Valkyrie, disintegrated and returned to its magical state.

Hao Er adjusted his posture and landed steadily on the ground. He then picked up the scattered spears and stuck them into the ground one by one before standing among them.

"This is really troublesome..." Xuanze said with a bitter expression.

Hao'er was definitely the most troublesome opponent Xuanze had ever encountered. No matter what kind of power Xuanze used, Hao'er could easily break through it. He truly deserved to be called a half-baked priest. He knew a little about everything. What was the difference between him and an omnipotent being?

The battleground is now at a great disadvantage for Xuanze, because Hao'er can use prayer to transform these abandoned weapons into weapons capable of shattering divine weapons and magic. Under these circumstances, Hao'er's means of fighting are extremely limited.

Have magic and the holy sword been sealed away...? I don't seem to be able to compete with him in terms of martial arts either.

"Hey, priest," Xuanze said to him, "with your abilities, why are you working for that bald guy?"

"Who knows?" Hao'er's face was expressionless. "I might just be repaying a debt of gratitude to myself."

"Just for that reason?" Xuanze sneered. "Just for that reason, you would do such a thing behind the backs of humanity, colluding with the kingdom? Killing ten heroes? What a loyal dog."

“I can’t refute that.” Hale pulled out one of the guns. “So, the kingdom sent me here to get rid of you, who knows the truth.”

"Did they just happen to run into me when I was all alone? I'm really unlucky."

Xuanze also summoned his divine weapon again. He needed a weapon to fight Hao'er, but the trouble was that he also had to be wary of Hao'er's unexpected attacks.

Hey!

Xuanze used all his strength to push off the ground and rush towards Hao'er. Hao'er, as if he had been waiting for a long time, kicked out another gun and held it in his hand, assuming a dual-wielding stance.

"Aha!"

Xuanze raised his sword high and leaned back sharply, imbuing it with magic to make it even sharper. Then he slashed at Hao'er with all his might, but the slash landed between Hao'er's crossed spears and was caught by Hao'er. Xuanze then kicked the two spears apart with an upper kick.

"Crushing Slash!"

He unleashed the power of the divine weapon, transforming his aura into a physical form, which became the sword blade. Once again, with the momentum of a thousand troops, he swung the divine weapon down.

“Pray with ‘Curse’.”

Hao'er only had time to utter a single syllable of prayer to grant his body resistance to special power, but the force of the attack struck him without any reduction. Overwhelmed by the powerful aura, he coughed up blood, his throat filled with a metallic taste.

The sword blade formed from his aura only had a suppressive effect; before the actual weapon could land on him, he struck Xuanze in the side with his spear, sending him flying and saving him from death.

Boom!

Xuanze rolled in the muddy battlefield, using his sword to forcefully stop himself, then stood up again, his eyes flashing with a cold light like blades.

Click——!

The hand pressing on the ground unleashed magic, the magic circle extending in front of Hale and exploding, manifesting cold air and ice, even the falling rain turned into snow.

"Freeze it!"

This is the Word of Power that Xuanze learned from Heiyu. It is the ability to directly cause phenomena through magic and actions, simplifying the construction of magic. It can be said to be an upgraded version.

The magic corresponding to this word of power is "Frosty Hell". You look like this now, but you will look different later.

Click, click, click!

Ice spikes shot wildly out of the ground, but Hale immediately used magic to reinforce the ice beneath his feet, preventing the spikes from piercing through. However, the ice spikes surrounding him exploded like dynamite, and sharp shards of ice mercilessly swept across the battlefield.

"Pursue! 'Abyss Chi You'!"

The magic circle rapidly disassembled and quickly reconstructed into another magic. Magic power ignited, and the ice fragments scattered in the air reformed into a giant ice beast. The beast opened its massive mouth, filled with sharp teeth, and bit down on Hale, who had been propelled into the sky by the shock of the explosion.

"Overlay! 'Thunder in the Dark'!"

Rumble!

Xuanze raised his finger and pointed to the sky, drawing a magic circle with it. He then projected this magic circle onto the dark clouds in the sky, where lightning surged. The golden lightning exploded and shattered the ice behemoth.

Words of power, magic, magic—a triple strike.

"Haah...haah..."

The mana consumption of unleashing three high-level large-scale spells in one go was unimaginable. In addition, mana burning doubled the mana consumption to enhance the power of the spells. Xuanze collapsed due to insufficient mana supply.

But his consciousness hadn't flown away yet; it was just that his body was temporarily unable to move normally due to insufficient magic power. He couldn't fall unconscious now either, because he needed to confirm whether Hale had already fallen after those three consecutive blows.

Xuanze once swore to kill that sinful priest.

but……

'Liberation', 'Singing Praises', 'Redemption'!

Light came on, and Hale, who should have fallen after being hit by the three consecutive blows, stood up and walked step by step, supported by his spear. The runes that appeared on his body healed his tattered body.

Now, Hale is still standing.

"Tsk... This is the last person I want to see." Xuanze slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.

Chapter 55

"Haa... I really can't handle you, you bastard." Xuanze complained as he lay on the ground. "What kind of 'Demon King' is this? He can't even beat a hero's companion."

Hao'er dragged his wounded body into Xuanze, who was lying on the ground unable to move. The outcome was already decided, and there was nothing more to say between the two.

“…This is truly a farewell.” Hale drew the dagger from his waist. “Demon King…no, Hero Xuanze.”

"Hahaha, a hero? That's a really funny identity." Xuanze revealed a mocking smile. "That bald guy didn't expect this, did he? The eleventh hero is not only alive, but also on the side of the demons."
