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

"Hmph, say whatever you want."

Sariye didn't buy into his act, and the two remained in a stalemate, neither launching any attack on the other. Why was that?

That's because Wu Ke was holding a black shield, while Seria was holding a white spear. It was impossible for Hevia and the others not to recognize them.

The Holy Sword "Yin Yang".

It is precisely because of its appearance that the two sides have reached the current stalemate. The threat of the Holy Sword is best understood by the Punishers of God, and they must be considering whether they should launch an attack.

After recovering, Esther stood up and rejoined her team. It was clear that both sides were very serious, but what would the final outcome be?

Finally, 'Time Realm' Rona sheathed her short sword, and then, taking the lead, the other two also began to sheathe their weapons, and then turned and left without the slightest hesitation.

They watched the three punishers disappear on the other side of the warship, and probably deciding there was no need to waste time there, Ister breathed a sigh of relief...

"Wow, Easter, are you alright?! Are you hurt?! Were you hurt at all?!"

Having just ended the tense standoff, they immediately returned to their usual selves; perhaps they too had caught Li's inability to get tense...

Chapter 49 Are you ready!?

boom----!

The stream of light that Lagme unleashed seemed to have been forcibly split in two, a shocking scene witnessed directly by Peter Pan. He never imagined that someone as strong as Seric would encounter such a situation. In his view, even if he used the Holy Sword to defend with all his might, he would not be able to withstand this attack head-on. However, the girl in front of him did it with ease.

The seven-colored light refracted and scattered Lagm's light stream. The girl raised her hand to support the light and prevent it from dissipating until Lagm's light stream disappeared. Immediately afterwards, the girl took out a large piece of black metal from the void, held it in her hand, and threw it out. No matter how you looked at it, the length of this piece of metal was not enough to reach Serik and attack him. However, Serik showed a surprised expression at this moment. What was this?

“HAAHHHHHH!!!!!”

Dadadadadadadadada——!!!

The girl shouted and pulled the trigger, charging fearlessly toward Serik. Seeing the bursts of fire from the metal, Peter Pan realized what it was: a gun, and a gun that could fire in rapid succession.

Dozens of bullets were fired with a piercing rattling sound. Serik hurriedly moved across Lagmer to act as a shield to block the bullets. The girl closed in on him, her gun already empty. Without hesitation, she used it as a projectile and smashed it into his head. The gun flew up and broke apart at the same time.

This series of almost insane actions left Peter Pan speechless. The girl's unbelievable actions were followed by such a wild one, which was really baffling. But for some reason, Serik was unable to deal with the attack properly and was hit directly on the head by the gun, causing his defensive control to fail.

Only now did Peter Pan realize that he had to go up and help. He immediately controlled the Seven Star Holy Sword to prepare to fight the girl, but seven lightning bolts swept over and knocked the Holy Sword away. Someone was stopping him.

"Thunderous Heavenly Prison".

Ning coldly uttered the name of the magic as the keyword to trigger it. After receiving her magic power, the seven lightning bolts instantly swelled in size, enveloping Peter Pan. The continuous lightning strikes forced him to withdraw his holy sword to deflect them, but each time a lightning bolt hit the holy sword, it would explode with lightning, making it impossible to dodge.

The force of the lightning strikes was so great that they could even blast the Holy Sword away. Several times, Peter Pan didn't even have time to defend himself and was nearly struck directly by the lightning. From the moment the girl appeared, a series of unexpected events unfolded. Peter Pan couldn't even free his hands. He caught a glimpse of the two figures out of the corner of his eye, and then he remembered.

One of them was a girl who had been captured a few days earlier, and the other was a powerful mage who appeared in that battle.

One pink and one blue, that's it, those two are the ones.

Woohoo!

Li raised his hand and pulled an ordinary briefcase from thin air, intending to use it as a weapon to smash Seric down. Seric pushed off with his back foot, steadied himself, and pulled back Lagmer, attempting to use Lagmer to cut Li down directly.

The two weapons clashed without producing many sparks or unusual sounds, because Lagmer's blade was stuck in the suitcase—yes, literally, Lagmer's blade was jammed in the suitcase.

“This is quite unexpected!” Serik gripped the hilt of his sword. “I didn’t expect it would be you.”

"So what if it's me!" Li shouted. "Are you some kind of sexist bastard?!"

"That's not what I meant—"

Serik pulled with all his might and ripped Lagmer out. Due to the loss of balance, her posture collapsed. Serik seized the opportunity, raised Lagmer, aimed at her head, and prepared to cut her down with his sword. But he never expected that the suitcase would suddenly spread out a pair of dragon wings and blow him away.

"!?"

After rolling twice to regain his footing, Serik looked up and saw Li charging straight at him. Her small hands, enveloped in magic, resembled dragon claws, and she delivered a punch right in his face, catching him completely off guard. The punch sent him flying, and a suitcase with outstretched wings flew at high speed to catch up with the disoriented Serik, opening to reveal an empty interior.

No, there's actually something inside, it's—

"A mimic monster!?"

Serik swung his sword with delight, striking the briefcase that was charging up and sending it flying. The briefcase landed steadily in Li's hands. Serik raised his ragmo and fired several shots at her, but each shot was blocked by the briefcase in her hand. Serik used shooting to restrain her while retreating.

Dragon Sparrow - Gale! Slash!

A flash of azure light disappeared in an instant, forcibly breaking through the cage of lightning. This strike directly destroyed Ning's magic itself, and the raging lightning was instantly quelled. She walked expressionlessly to Peter Pan's side, raising the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow wrapped in azure flames. Serik also approached the two while constantly firing at them, and finally sheathed his sword, no longer making any moves.

Li and Ning stood together and ceased all attacks; both sides tacitly stopped their attacks at this moment.

Although they didn't know why Serik and the others suddenly stopped attacking, they were wary of Xia Que and that's why they stopped taking any action. Just now, Xia Que had somehow concealed her presence and then suddenly appeared. Once she appeared, she was already poised to strike, making it impossible for anyone not to be on guard.

Li and Ning are no longer afraid of Serik. In fact, they don't know why they can't be afraid since then. At this moment, they only want to get rid of the other party as soon as possible. However, at this critical moment, Hao Er is not here, and they don't know where he is, so they have no way to deal with these guys.

"Is this really a good idea?" Serik suddenly asked.

Li tilted his head, not understanding what he was trying to say, but he felt that Li was going to say something annoying, so he didn't reply.

"Hmph. Not going to answer..." Serik sneered. "I know you want to stop me, but that's impossible. I've already laid out everything I need, and it's too late for you."

"Oh, is it so."

Li remained expressionless and casually brushed off two rounds of questions.

“Besides,” Serik pointed his sword at them, “it shouldn’t be the two of you trying to stop me…”

“Yes, yes, yes,” Ning interrupted him, “You mean to say that only by having that Demon King come over would he be qualified to deal with you, right?”

Chapter 50 Dialogue

Serik fell silent, his expression becoming much more serious than before—exactly the expression Ning wanted to see—so she continued her pursuit.

"I know that in your mind, only a hero can break through this predicament, right?" Ning sneered. "You criticize everything about this world, yet you believe in its rules and think that a hero and the demon king are destined to fight. You're being guided by some inexplicable force in this world, aren't you?"

Based on a series of intelligence reports and Seric's actions, this is the conclusion Ning reached. In Seric's own eyes, he is now the true Demon King of this world, and Xuanze is the hero destined to defeat him—the universal law of otherworldly battles, the hero versus the Demon King, applies here. His second half of his statement was probably…

"Even if someone wants to stop me, it should be a brave one."

Ning stated the second half of her deduction, and she could clearly see that Serik's face turned very ugly. Being exposed for his belief in the rules of this world must have been quite unpleasant for him, after all, he hated this world so much.

“Heh…” Serik snorted coldly, “Let’s just say that is how it is.”

“But I must tell you,” Li Wuwei stepped forward, “you will never see him, and I will defeat you in his place.”

“…Heh,” Serik chuckled coldly, as if he found it ridiculous.

He pressed his face, lowered his head to hide his expression, his shoulders trembled slightly, and occasionally let out a faint laugh, which made Ning unable to resist immediately casting a magic spell on his face.

"Flowers dance wildly."

Sharp petal fragments transformed into a tidal wave that surged menacingly toward Serik. Before it could reach him, Xia Que rushed out and slashed out, dissipating the deadly wave of flowers. Although Ning had anticipated that his magic would be neutralized by Xia Que, he still couldn't bear Serik's appearance and unleashed his own magic.

To protect his lord, Peter Pan's Seven Star Holy Sword also dispersed some of the flying petals. With these two around, no, even if it were just Xia Que alone, it would be very difficult to harm Serik. Serik kept laughing, and the laughter grew louder and louder, carrying a hint of mania, which made Ning even more irritated.

Finally, Serik raised his head, removed his hand from his face, and burst into unrestrained laughter. His laughter was full of mockery and disdain, and all these vile emotions were directed at one person: Reason.

As the laughter subsided, Serik gave a sarcastic smile and looked at Li.

"If you can do it, give it a try."

Click.

In an instant, Seric had already raised the Blade of Wrath, Lagmer, infused it with magic, aimed, and pulled the trigger. This series of actions took only a second. By the time Li noticed, it was too late for her to defend herself. She could only immediately pick up her suitcase and run to Ning. But the shot was not aimed at her, but at the path leading to the Queen.

The light stream from this shot was far more powerful than the previous one, turning everything in its path into scorched earth. After clearing a path, he recklessly led the other two people, completely ignoring them, all the way to the mothership.

Neither of them pursued them, because they both knew it was pointless. Neither of them could stop them from advancing. Because of Xia Que's presence, many things had become very difficult.

"Are you alright?" Ning asked with concern.

"Yeah, it's okay. Besides, it wasn't aimed at me." Li breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Although she knew that her defenses had become a jumbled mess, like Ning's magic, she was still terrified of taking direct hits on attacks that looked incredibly powerful; it was her instinct.

“What you just said was really hurtful…” Li glanced at her.

"Really?" Ning asked nonchalantly. "I don't think so. I'm just stating a fact, is that not allowed?"

"No, I just want to say well done, that was so satisfying."

Li smiled and, without thinking much, hugged her tightly. Ning, who had been calm, was made dizzy by her unexpected action and hurriedly pushed her away.

"Since things have come to this, shouldn't we gather everyone together for a final battle?" Ning changed the subject.

"Ah, yes... Come to think of it, it seems like it was Salid and his group who organized the attack on the Queen..."

Li quickly got into the zone; changing the subject always worked wonders for her. From the various battle situations they heard through the earpiece and their observations after arriving at the battlefield, they learned that Longya had been dealt with.

The dragon riders and dragon horde are now relentlessly attacking the Queen, led by the dragon kings. Five divine punishers, including the Queen herself, have arrived at the Queen's side, and Peter Pan of the Seven Stars is on his way to provide support with Seric.

Akihabara's group had already arrived and were wreaking havoc. This was one of Akihabara's few most proficient skills; he could cause considerable destruction to anyone, including a one-year-old child, given the right conditions. Coupled with their flexible and diverse fighting styles, this surprise force had truly given the Kingdom's army a hard time.

There are five Divine Punishers with the Queen, one on their way, and one on the land battlefield, so there are only seven here... including the dead Dragon Fang, there are only eight. So where is the ninth one? This question made Li feel a little uneasy, but at this moment they had no choice but to take action to stop Seric's conspiracy.

Speaking of this, Li is now indifferent to such events, or rather, she is quite aloof. However, her feelings are not actually that complicated. Apart from performing the new episode, they need to use the remaining time to gather their scattered comrades from all over the battlefield and prepare.

“It’s time to go. They’re probably on their way to the Queen right now,” Ning urged. “Quickly, and while you’re at it, use the earpiece to contact them and explain the next steps.”

"Uh, oh oh..."

This is the plan they've laid out. They haven't actually done anything for this day, but in the end, the two of them will be the most crucial in this battle. Now, they are just one step away from the final battle.

Chapter 51 No Plan!

Silver magical light suddenly appeared on the airship. This light gradually gathered into a beautiful magical circle. This magical circle briefly unfolded and opened a door to another place. Before anyone could walk in, a hand reached in first, and then a cherry-haired girl walked out from the other side of the door. Beside her was a blue-haired girl. The people on the ship did not react much to the two of them, as they were busy with other things.

"Someone go find some cloth inside the ship!" "Here we have some! How much do you need?" "All of it! No, wait! This isn't enough!"

"Alright! You guys! Come in with me and get it!" "Adam Jamie! Come help me!" "Hey! Dude! I'm busy! I really don't have time!"

Many people were busy with their own tasks, running around on the deck. These were all residents of Akihabara, and almost all of them were safe and sound. Seeing this, Riku couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the power in his hands increased slightly.

"Are you relieved now?" Ning glanced at her.

"Hmm..." Li nodded.

“It’s not over yet,” Ning said with a wry smile. “There’s still a big battle to come.”

"that's true……"

At this point, a bitter look appeared on Li's face.

Next, they will likely face more than five Divine Punishers, and at this stage, they cannot be said to have the upper hand, because they have only dealt with two so far: the Twin Yin-Yang and the Berserker Dragon Fang. The Twin Divine Punishers, Yin-Yang, deserved to die (that's how it is), while Dragon Fang is the most feared among the kingdom's many forces.

Although they dealt with Longya, it only relieved some of the pressure on the battlefield. While none of the remaining Divine Punishers seemed as ferocious as Longya, their strength was undeniable. In terms of combat power alone, the people on this side were probably still in some danger, and protecting them during such a battle would likely be quite difficult.

Although Li is a mimic with bug-level defense, this defense only belongs to herself and cannot protect others. Even if she had two selves, she still couldn't do that, since there are too many people to protect.

"Sister Li! Sister Ning!"

Just as the two women were pondering these things, Xiao suddenly leaped into their arms, rubbing against them happily like a kitten. The two women were slightly surprised, exchanged a smile, and then patted their third sister's head with a wry smile.

"So you were here. I was wondering where you'd gone." Li hugged her tightly.

"So...you seem to have grown taller during this time," Ning said, looking Xiao up and down.

"Oh! Really?" Xiao looked overjoyed. "That makes me look even more like my sister!"

Seeing Xiao so happy, both of them showed somewhat complicated expressions.

[Ning...] Li suddenly spoke telepathically, [Haven't we been paying attention to Xiao for a long time...?]

"Hmm, it's been a long time..."

Ning gently stroked Xiao's ear and met Li's gaze.

We haven't really paid attention to her since we got involved in this mess.

The reason Li had such thoughts was that after finally finishing a lot of work, she noticed the changes in Xiao. It turned out that Xiao had grown taller while the two of them were busy with these things... So the two of them had mixed feelings.

【Well, I don’t think it’s very auspicious to say this before the war…】Ry paused here.

"It's better if you don't say those kinds of things." Ning gave a wry smile.

That's what they said! The truth was still revealed: "After everything is over..."

You'd better stay home.

Don't interrupt me! So, that's why! By the way, how did you know what I was going to say?!

[You're already causing trouble just by standing there. Don't forget, nothing can be hidden from you when you read aloud.]

Ah... I forgot about that...

Even on the battlefield, the three sisters remained calm and showed no signs of tension. Perhaps it was psychological, but the expressions of those gathered around them gradually softened.

Ning interrupted Li for two reasons. First, it was considered unlucky to set a bad omen. Although she knew it was superstition, Ning wanted to ensure there were no dangerous factors involved. Second, she knew what Li was going to say next, so she interrupted her and changed the subject accordingly. It was the same old trick she used; it was so great that Li was like that.

As for why I said to keep her at home, well, you can imagine that she'd be causing trouble everywhere she goes if she went out. Plus, with that kind of constitution where she can suddenly get caught up in some inexplicable trouble even if she's standing still, keeping her at home isn't unreasonable... although I know she definitely wouldn't be able to stay still...
