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

Page 182

The inner roar seemed to trigger an explosion of magic, the burning intensifying, and the magical flames clinging to the brush transformed into sharp blades—a signal for a counterattack. The force applied intensified once more, and this time it was Mo Yueya who repelled Zanoba's attack. He even took a step forward after repelling Zanoba's attack, delivering a heavy headbutt.

This was the only effective attack that Ink Moon Raven managed to launch against Zanoba during this brief battle.

Both of them had head injuries of varying degrees. The dizziness rendered them unable to move, and blood flowed from their foreheads into their eyes, turning their vision red.

Mo Yueya believed that this blow was just as heavy for Zanaba. The two were equally dizzy, and Zanaba even laughed after being hit. He laughed excitedly and then punched Mo Yueya in the head.

Due to dizziness and the fact that Zanoba hadn't aimed carefully, he threw the punch carelessly. Mo Yueya dropped his brush and met the punch head-on, swinging his only usable right hand.

Zanob's punch landed on Mo Yueya's chest, worsening his injuries, and Mo Yueya was now at his end.

"...!"

Mo Yueya's actions came to an abrupt halt, and he knelt helplessly on the ground before Zanoba. Mo Yueya and the black fire quickly retreated, and Mo Yueya's magic was exhausted.

Plans can't keep up with changes.

This was Mo Yueya's biggest takeaway from this experience: there were just too many changes. For a mere mortal like him to have achieved this much was something to be proud of.

He single-handedly held off eleven Divine Punishers, sending half of them to other locations. While the remaining Divine Punishers pursued him, he continuously resolved crises, sacrificing his life to restrain "Overlord" Zanoba.

It could be said that... no, it can't be said that yet... first of all, he has to win this last gamble before he can be said to have truly died without regrets.

He had bought enough time, but if they didn't come, she would have to rely on herself.

Zanoba planted the flag spear where it was, silently walked closer to Mo Yueya, sat down beside him, and took something out. Mo Yueya's consciousness was beginning to blur, and his vision was gradually darkening. The magic of the simulated organs had been exhausted, and his time was running out.

“I say, kid,” Zanoba took a sip of his drink, the same one from last night, “I still really want someone as outstanding as you.”

impossible.

Although Mo Yueya wanted to say that to him, his body no longer allowed him to do so, and his consciousness was gradually fading away.

"To do it so beautifully, there aren't many people like that." Zanaba sighed. "If only you were one of us."

Zanoba greatly admired Mo Yueya. While his chess skills played a part, other factors were more significant. He believed that having Mo Yueya working for him would undoubtedly strengthen their kingdom's army.

But that's no longer possible.

Zanob had already investigated Mo Yueya after their first contact, and Zanob knew a little about him. He wanted to confirm Mo Yueya's stance, so he planned to continue contacting him.

But after their second encounter, Zanoba realized that Inkmoon Raven was not on the side of the kingdom.

Zanob had a good eye for people and had no intention of giving up on a talent like Mo Yueya. He repeatedly hinted that if Mo Yueya was willing, he would bring him under his wing and introduce him to King Alyas.

But Mo Yueya had no such intention and stubbornly continued making all sorts of preparations, ready to do something big. Unexpectedly, it escalated to such a large extent; he's truly a talent. But this also shows that they can never have a genuine superior-subordinate relationship.

He looked at the dying Mo Yueya beside him, finished the wine in the flask, and then stood up. He had nothing more to say to Mo Yueya; everything had been said through his actions. He was going to fulfill his final duty and kill Mo Yueya.

Every ghost has some strange interests, but Zanoba is the only one without any. He has a great warrior living in his heart, which is why he has been able to stay true to himself all this time.

The nickname "Banner of the Tyrant" is the name of the holy sword he wields. Its full name is "Banner of the Tyrant," a banner that paves the way for hegemony and gathers heroes and elites. Zanobba wants to gather heroes to fight for the kingdom.

But under that banner, he was all alone. Yes, this path was not easy. He had finally found someone he liked, Mo Yueya, but in the end, they couldn't work together because their goals and paths were incompatible.

As a subordinate, Mo Yueya was outstanding; as a friend, Mo Yueya was someone he respected. Therefore, he should at least personally escort him to the other side.

Mo Yueya's breath was growing weaker and weaker; this was his last shred of clarity. Before dying, his consciousness was inexplicably clear, and scenes from his life flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.

In the end, only one person remained in his mind, the vampire who had had a profound impact on his life—Aye.

He desperately wanted to laugh, but his body wouldn't obey him. He couldn't see or feel anything. Perhaps he was indeed laughing at that moment, but he just couldn't feel it.

Seriously... why did I even think of her...?

Chapter 59 Arrive

Mo Yueya is dead.

The information displayed on the Demon Eye clearly told Li this sad truth: she could no longer sense the presence of Mo Yueya. The burning black flames and the countless Mo Yueya flying in the sky had also disappeared, and there was no sign of Mo Yueya's life on the minimap.

She wanted to cry out loud, but she had to run, all the way to the stern. That was the last thing Mo Yueya told her: don't stop, keep running.

After Mo Yueya left, she didn't know what was ahead or how to deal with what was going to happen next. She just kept running away, trying not to be caught and taken back.

The fire on the ship was clearly under control, and the mothership seemed to have automatically repaired itself as if nothing had happened. Does that mean... everything Mo Yueya did was in vain? That's too much...

bite--!

A cold glint followed behind Li, and the white spear accurately struck the shell protecting Li. Li was severely impacted and rendered unable to move, and even spat out the Dragon King Li that was inside her body.

Ryuou Ri's sanity had been completely exhausted, yet she was still doing her best to prevent herself from crossing that line. As Treasure Chest Ri struggled to get up and put Ryuou Ri back in to continue their escape, a black light suddenly slashed through Treasure Chest Ri's crab legs.

The crab's legs were severed instantly.

——! ! !

In this situation, Rin had no way to control herself properly. The pain Rin felt from the treasure chest was also transmitted to Rin, and the intense pain of having her hands and feet cut off almost drove Rin crazy, causing her to let out incoherent screams.

"You bitch, isn't your moaning quite pleasant?" Chaoyang stepped on the box lid, revealing a wicked smile.

Asaka passed by, he pulled out the white spear and, without hesitation, thrust it into Ryujin's abdomen. The spear tip pierced Ryujin's body and embedded itself in the floor, becoming a bolt binding Ryujin.

“————!!!”

The bruises on his abdomen became even hotter, perhaps because of the large amount of blood flowing out. The wounds felt like they were burning, and the pain caused him to lose consciousness.

But Chao Yin seemed to have no intention of letting her go. After pulling out the white spear, he put it back in, and the bloodstains on the ground were as vivid as blooming spider lilies.

"Hey? Little sister, what if you die from playing like this?" Chaoyang said this, but his face was full of excitement.

"Oh, brother, you won't die. After all, it's such a fun toy." Asakura's face was smeared with blood; she wiped her lips with her finger. "Isn't this more fun?"

These two are broken... broken from the very beginning. Right now, they have the expression of children who have just received a new toy on their faces.

Just as Chao Yin said, he wouldn't die. Such damage wouldn't be fatal to the Dragon King. Even if it happened a few more times, it would only result in serious injury. Since he wouldn't die, it became torture.

Mental and physical torment.

Tears streamed down Li's face. She cried, but this time not for herself, but for Mo Yueya. It was over. The sliver of hope Mo Yueya had risked his life for had been stained crimson with blood. All his efforts to save Li had been in vain.

Chaoyin pulled out the white gun, bright red blood dripping from the tip. She grabbed Li's hair and roughly dragged him back. She and Chaoyang couldn't wait any longer; they were eager to experience this novel sensation.

In her dazed state, Li passed by a blood-covered corpse. Instinctively, she reached out to grab him, but she couldn't; she didn't have the right to grasp him.

Blood flowed endlessly from the gaping wound, leaving a long, bright red trail on the floor as it dragged along.

"--!reason!"

"Hey!? Don't rush so fast?!"

"Seria! Grab me!"

Mo Yueya's efforts were not in vain. He gambled and succeeded. That person would definitely appear here. He bet everything on this day and handed over the final baton to them.

Three girls descended from the sky. The girl in light blue, leading the charge, suddenly unleashed a magic circle, releasing a high-pressure water blade that shot towards the Yin-Yang siblings. Asahi's first reaction was to raise her shield to block the attack, and Asahi immediately hid behind Asahi.

The water blade struck the black shield, leaving a deep gash. A barrage of wind blades followed, bypassing the shield's protection and slashing the two siblings from behind. Finally, the girl unleashed a flying kick at the shield, using the momentum to send the brother and sister flying.

After kicking the two away, the girl landed steadily.

A girl with long, light blue hair, practically the epitome of 'perfection,' stood there—it was Ning. Accompanying her were Seria and Ister. The two rushed to Li's side the moment they landed, both stunned by the sight before them.

“That’s too much…” East muttered angrily.

"What on earth happened to make her like this..." Celia clutched Ri's hand, her heart aching, desperately calling out to her, "Ri, Ri! Can you hear me? I'm here, hey, blink if you can hear me..."

Her hair was disheveled, and her body was covered in wounds of varying sizes. The most serious wound was a hole in her abdomen, through which the organs and internal organs were so mangled and unrecognizable. Her eyes were unfocused and vacant, making one wonder if she was already dead.

Ning glanced back at Li's miserable state. Although her face was expressionless, a terrifying pressure instantly enveloped the entire mothership. Chaoyang and Chaoyin couldn't help but tremble. This power was clearly stronger than in the last battle. This was no good.

This oppressive aura also alerted the other Divine Punishers. Unbeknownst to them, three Divine Punishers, besides 'Yin Yang', had already arrived here.

"Hey, hey, hey, what have you two messed up with?"

Peter Pan, surrounded by starlight, appeared above with a stern expression.

"Hey, I've seen these two before..."

Zanobah appeared behind Ister and the others. He had originally planned to leave after dealing with Mo Yueya, but he returned here because he felt an unusual pressure and couldn't leave it alone. Unexpectedly, he encountered someone he had met in the church before after returning here.

"He's still alive?"

Hevia frowned as she aimed at them from her vantage point. She vaguely remembered killing the two girls, so why were they still alive? And why had they even been captured by 'Yin Yang'?

However, given the immense power emanating from them, they couldn't simply ignore it, so they gathered here. This was the first time the Punishers had ever acted so unitedly on a single task; now, it was five against three.

But is this really the case?

Chapter 60 Darkening

Surrounded by the punishers, Ning took a deep breath, calmed her anger, and began to calmly assess the current situation.

They arrived in the vicinity ten minutes ago. After arriving, they noticed the great commotion on the mothership. They originally planned to launch a surprise attack to create chaos and then carry out the rescue plan, but they did not expect this situation to occur.

A huge number of crows were causing chaos around the mothership, and the ship was on fire. Ning judged that the crows were all familiars.

The three of them headed towards the mothership. During their journey, Ning sensed several bursts of energy, most of which were concentrated on the mothership, while two others were in the distance and looked very familiar. However, her primary goal was to find Li's location first, and she quickly pinpointed Li's location.

At that time, there was another person's presence beside Li, and it was gradually fading. The two were constantly moving, and there were several people chasing them; they were probably the kingdom's pursuers or the punishers of the gods.

About five minutes ago, the two stopped, and then the other person suddenly erupted. During that eruption, Li's position suddenly shifted a great distance, and two enormous magical forces burst forth from the ship, black fire and golden light mingling together and shooting straight into the sky.

That person might have been trying to save Li, so Ning thanked them in her heart for the time being. In the four minutes that followed, that person fought with all their might against one of the Divine Punishers, while the other two Divine Punishers grabbed Li after that person fell.

Finally, they arrived and, upon witnessing Li's tragic state, their uncontrollable rage caused their aura to erupt uncontrollably, attracting the attention of three Divine Punishers and leaving them surrounded. Meanwhile, several other Divine Punishers were also en route.

What's concerning is that the two magical forces at the farthest distance are also rapidly approaching this place. They are now close enough that Ning recognizes the two magical forces. One of them is her younger sister Xiao, and the other is the vampire clan leader, Miss Aye. Both of them are rushing here at full speed.

After sorting out the current situation, her anger was even more uncontrollable; her face was probably contorted with rage. Therefore, she didn't look directly at Li; she didn't want Li to see her like this.

Her light blue hair had begun to turn black from the tips, a manifestation of the dark emotions within her. All the negative slime abilities had combined at this moment, forming her unique skill 'Darkening Lv.ex'.

This skill was developed at that time, allowing for the maximization of combat ability over a long period of time. However, the side effects are also obvious. Even one's personality will be altered into a combination of negative emotions during this period. If one cannot resolve these negative emotions during that time, the corruption will continue indefinitely.

However, it was too late; the "darkening" had already fully activated, and his hair had turned completely black.

Ning flicked a bright green liquid from her body and splashed it on Li's body. The liquid quickly seeped into Li's flesh and blood. She then casually tossed a few bottles of medicine to Ister and Seria.

"Give it to her, and you two drink it too. Protect her."

After giving a brief explanation, Ning strode forward, heading straight for the Yin-Yang siblings. With each step she took, pure black magical flames would ignite where she landed, growing ever stronger.

"—!"

The brother and sister were intimidated by Ning's aura and subconsciously took a step back. They had seen that ominous black before, and the Ning they knew now was definitely not someone they could deal with. His endless killing intent transformed into countless black magic circles, engulfing everyone within them.

Ister and Celia didn't have time to worry about that. Li's body was healing at a visible speed, but there was no sign of him waking up, and his breathing didn't seem to have returned to normal.

Ister drew her sword, the light blade 'Gram,' and infused it with magic, keeping a watchful eye on the surrounding Divine Punishers. The Divine Punishers present were completely focused on Ning and had no time to spare for them.

In her desperation, Celia used her wind blade to slash open the bottle and tried to force-feed it to Li, but no matter what she did, she couldn't get it down. How could she bear to see her savior die right before her eyes?

She picked up the bottle and poured the bitter medicine into her mouth without swallowing. Instead, she used her tongue to pry open Li's mouth and force the medicine down her throat.

"Cough, cough cough cough..."

Perhaps because it was effective, Li started coughing slightly. Taking advantage of this, she shoved the bottle neck into Li's mouth and forced her to finish the rest of the medicine in a rough manner.

After drinking the last of the medicine, Ri threw the bottle aside and coughed violently. Ri had returned from the brink of death, and seeing her almost exactly as she always was, Seria excitedly hugged her.

She suffered so much. No one knew what terrible things had happened to her during that time. All Celia wanted to do was cry out loud.

Before Celia, Li had already burst into tears. Her crying was so hysterical that it was heartbreaking to hear. Only when her fragmented sobs came together did the two learn the shocking truth.

Mo Yueya...died to save Li.

They didn't know what had happened, but as their former partner, Mo Yueya's death had a huge impact on them.

Ning knew about this from the moment she boarded the ship, but she didn't tell the other two, not to prevent them from wavering, but because she intended to bear the burden of Mo Yueya's death alone. He must have fought with all his might to protect Li and help her escape from this den of tigers.

His death was worthwhile, it was valuable. His actions saved Ning a lot of trouble and protected the most important person in the world to her. So…

She wanted to prove his worth, along with Mo Yueya's share.

All the divine punishers present were stunned by this intense pressure. Everyone tensed up to observe this powerful enemy, but dared not take any further action.

"Hervia—! Fire!"

Zanoba broke the deathly silence first, rushing out and bypassing Seria and the other two, heading straight for Ning's unsuspecting back.

Awakened by Zanob's shout, Hevia removed the crown from her head and placed it on the muzzle of her gun. She then quickly aimed at Ning's head and fired a special penetrating bullet made from the crown. Peter Pan also went all out, turning all his holy swords into starlight and firing them to maximize their power.

Faced with such an enemy, they dared not hold back.

Chapter 61 Ning's Darkening

The black flames surrounding Ning suddenly surged, melting Hevia's bullets before they could even hit her. Zanoba frowned in shock at the intense heat and immediately stopped and retreated.
