142 – Bizarre Conversation
I don’t think anyone but Yeonhee noticed, but that picture probably points to me. It was a shape that I often saw with a head or a cracked stem.
I was surprised as well, so I looked up at me and stared at Yeon-hee, who opened her mouth wide.
“Why… Why Sunwoli? Mimic! Does being able to challenge include summons?”
“Eh? Is this the sun and the moon?”
“Isn’t Ilwol not a person?”
Mimic, who was quietly watching us, replied to Yeonhee.
– Anyone with an ego is eligible. It is possible, for example, that the woman in black is holding it.
―!!
Heads turned to Ham Eun-young at Mimic’s answer.
“Sister! What is that mirror that says it has an ego?”
“Wasn’t this an ordinary hand mirror? Could this be an artifact?”
“Ah… Oh no. This is- mine.”
“Somehow… They said it was too strong.”
“Then why is it January… There are other summons.”
Yeonhee asked Mimic again with a slightly subdued voice, and Mimic circled around the few remaining Lizard troops and Orcs and said.
– I can’t please my master with these. A minimum qualification is required. Among beings with egos, the only thing that exceeded the standards was that mirror.
“……”
The time when everyone was unable to speak due to the shocking information.
Suddenly the world stopped.
Originally, mana in the air constantly rotates and circulates, but even that is stationary.
Yeon-hee stiffened like a mannequin with her hand resting on her chin and staring intently at me.
Joo-ah, whose gaze is fixed on the summoned beasts, A-rin, who freezes while holding her head, and Eun-yeong, who tightly closes her eyes while holding her hand mirror.
And Mimic staring at me. It seems that this guy is the only one moving in this world right now.
Round and round – The guy who was circling around me bounced around like a bouncy ball, as if he was suddenly excited.
‘What’s so good about it?’
– I’m a golden Mimic Tania. Welcome to my space.
And without realizing it, I was already moved to another space.
‘It’s all gold…’
A space where the endless floors and the infinitely high ceiling are all golden.
And there, only Mimic was welcoming me. Now in the form of a werewolf standing on two legs.
‘You seem to like gold quite a bit.’
The hair of the werewolf that stretched out in all directions was also golden. Even that hair on the lower part… Looks really cool looking at it that way. Even loud
– You’re on the lucky side. Among the possible objects, the one with the lowest rating was caught. Well, in a way, it may be a natural result.
“Tickktoktaktak!!”
‘Werewolves are the lowest grade… Are you kidding?’
Werewolf, the worst monster in C-class dungeons, is the weakest here. What is the composition of the alternative lineup?
– I’m not kidding.
‘······ Huh? Uhhhhh?!’
– Usually selected randomly from a weaker or stronger level based on the challenger. However, it’s been a long time since I’ve been connected to such a low-level dungeon… It seems that I was chosen as the lowest werewolf.
‘No, wait. Could it be that I just lost my mind?’
– This is my own space that he gave me. So don’t be too surprised to hear what you think.
‘Ohh… Really? Can you hear my thoughts? If it’s a perfectly controlled space… Then such nonsense might be possible… Wait. Then would you like to talk to me? I feel like I’ve been talking to myself for too long. Summons They are always oh master. Master best. I was just saying that. Ran is only attached to Yeonhee. Basically, I’m an old man, so I can’t communicate.’
– …… Yes? Suddenly what’s that… We have to duel now!
‘Let’s have a conversation first. I’m going to lose anyway. Now- come and sit next to me.’
I was sincere. The weakest was a werewolf? Besides, it’s not just a werewolf. An existence that is several steps above the brown mimic that corresponds to that archmage. Such an existence is a mimicking werewolf. It should be seen as a boss-class werewolf.
The aura I just felt was stronger than the ‘teeth’ I met at Guchangro Dungeon Break.
Unfortunately, the odds of me winning against such an entity would be very slim. There won’t be anything that will follow the same luck then.
But thinking that way somehow made me feel more relaxed. Of course, it’s possible because there is a spare bee’s life.
– ……
The Mimic, who had turned into a werewolf, pondered for a while and then began to cringe and approach me.
Kung- Kung-
Werewolves are one of the most powerful races among beast-type lycanthropes. When he came next to me and looked down at me, the pressure was really great. As expected, it was much bigger than a normal werewolf.
Even Lizard No. 1 Would look like an elementary school student next to him.
But my curiosity outweighed my fear, so I patted the seat next to me and told him to sit down.
– …… Are you trying to have a real conversation? You don’t know, but I can’t give you time indefinitely. We’ll have to fight soon-
‘I got it. So, who should I start talking about? It’s because you and I seem to have something in common. Let’s just ask one question at a time.”
– I’m curious about something…
“Okay. I’ll ask you first.”
– …… You don’t listen to me at all.
“How long have you been in this space? I had a space where I was confined, but I don’t remember how long I was there.’
– ……
That’s how the strange conversation between Mimic and I began. I started it, but when I think about it, it was such an absurd thing to do.
Leisurely chatting in an unknown space with a monster that could tear me apart in an instant.
– … I don’t remember. All I know is to please the one who created me. Because that’s all.
‘Does it please your master to bring people into this space from time to time to fight?’
– Yes.
‘What kind of person is the master you serve?’
– That can’t be said. But let me just say that it is a great being that I dare not even look up at.
‘Oh… That’s great. I don’t even have that kind of support, so I’m envious.’

– Phew… I’m afraid what you’ll think of this unprecedented exchange of conversations with your challenger.
‘Well… I don’t know, but maybe you’ll like it?’
– Why do you think so?
‘If I were the one who made you, wouldn’t I want you to fight every day? If watching you is entertainment, wouldn’t you be more excited about an event like this?’
– ? I’m made for this… What you say doesn’t make sense.
‘It just seems like that for some reason.’
Mimic in the shape of a werewolf struggled to put on the grip with her huge hand and fell into thought for a while. She seems to be chewing on my words, but seeing her look somehow made her laugh.
Since then, the main focus has been on the review of my skeleton life, which lasted a little over a month. Originally, I was a human being, and except for the fact that I had a regression, I talked about big events as if solving stories.
Unsurprisingly, Mimic didn’t interrupt me at all while I was talking, and occasionally nodded.
‘That red-haired elf is on my mind the most right now. Have you ever brought orcs to this space?’
– That’s a strange word. Orcs take a lot more than Humans. Even the challenge performance is much better than the human race.
‘What? Really?’
– Yes. There are other races that have better grades than Orcs, though.
‘…Elf or something?’
– Yes. Elves are a truly exceptional race.
This was unexpected. After all, were they also being subjected to the exact same system as us? Hmm…
‘I don’t know… Is that why the orc commander was so strong?’
– Is there anything else you’d like to ask?
At first, he said that he had to fight quickly, but it was this guy who had been talking since before.
‘Ah! You said that werewolves are the weakest, then which ones are the strongest?’
– Let’s make that our last question.
Mimic extended his right hand and pointed to the empty space on the other side.
– I’ll show you just one. Raise your hand if it’s too hard.
‘Huh? Okay.’
With those words, a huge portal like a mountain opened in the direction he pointed, and another world unfolded inside it.
A desolate, brown world. There was a giant standing there staring at me.
It had the head and wings of a bird, but its hands as large as its face and feet as thin as spider legs told me that it was unlike any creature I had ever known.
‘I can’t figure out the size. It doesn’t look like anything special just by looking at it…’
The moment I thought so, I reached it.
The guy’s red, burning eyes that don’t contain any emotions.
Red eyes, burning like lava, stared straight through me.
Creepy―――
I knew it the moment we met.
That’s a superior existence that I can’t reach even if I try my whole life.
‘That, stop… Stop…!’
Ugh-
She screamed as if pleading, and Mimic instantly destroyed her portal.
Even the moment the portal closed, that being’s eyes were fixed on me. His eyes seemed to say that he would go see you someday.
The teeth interlocked up and down clash like crazy.
– Attribute [Calm] Resists strongly!
– Resistance failed!
– Resistance failed!
– Failure to resist······
‘Heog… Haa… sh*t… sh*t…’
– …… I should have warned you. Let me help you a little.
‘Whoa…’
It seems that Mimic did something. Her worn out spirit barely subsided.
‘That, that’s the top level… Crazy… That’s not just a monster, is it?’
– Yes. At least, among the highest-level beings I can imitate, I called an existence that you can endure. In fact, it is the most insignificant of the ‘Lost Titans’.
‘Puhehehe… That’s a worthless existence… Could the ‘Necrosqual’ that appeared 10 years ago be the same ‘Lost Titan’?’
– What kind of words… They are not beings that can be compared to those less than dust. Although stray, the Titans are a race of great beings no matter what. They are the ones who have a status close to what you call divine beings.
‘…… Necrosqual is dust…’
It was said that there was only that much of an existence that had barely made it to sleep due to the pincer attack of the strong men in China, and it was suffocating on a gigantic scale.
‘I must have been really lucky…’
– …… Yes. Now really is the time. Get ready.
The golden werewolf stood up and said firmly.
Yes, even if such a world existed somewhere, it was just a story about another world far away from me.
‘Okay. Let’s stick together.’
It seemed like they had been talking for a while, but a strange sensation arose that no time had passed at all. After stretching his arms back for a while, he took out Archen’s dagger.
– There are several stairs that are difficult to overcome between you and the werewolf.
The Mimic, who had stepped back, said that while standing still.
– I forgot too. If there is a large difference in rank between the challenger and me, a temporary privilege is granted. The perks will be presented to you according to the path you have walked so far. Even I can’t figure it out, so choose carefully.
It was an overly kind word for the opponent I was about to fight, but I naturally nodded and read the message that popped up in front of my eyes.
1. Strengthen stats (Adjust one stat to the same value according to the stat with the highest value.)
2. Slight increase in luck (Unexpected luck occurs with a low probability in everything you do.)
3. Unlock Latent Skills (Release one of the latent skills for this battle only.)
