179 – Remember that it was a meaningless life.
“Ha.”
Dusk let out a sigh mixed with laughter as he restored his body, which had ugly holes here and there.
Certainly, Flan was an unexpected person.
“It makes me spend my life force on recovery.”
Just as humans consume mana to manifest magic, blood demons use their life force. Dusk originally had a tendency to devote his vitality to camouflage rather than recovery.
That’s why the plan was interesting.
Making Dusk consume vitality for recovery also meant that Flan was strong. Also, he had no similarities with other humans.
My emotions didn’t seem to have been castrated, and if I had to be honest, it felt like I was encountering a blood demon rather than a human being. In short, he was a talented person.
However.
‘It must be synchronized, right?’
She has the appearance of Aurora, but why is the princess fine? It was a simple yet big question, but Dusk soon shook it off.
At the time of the meeting, the words of the girl blood demon came to mind.
─No, how do you keep your guard down when dealing with humans?
Dusk sneered and muttered.
“It looks like I let my guard down too.”
If there was an error, I had no choice but to blame myself. Over the long period of time, “Synchronization” Has never caused any problems, so sophisticated black magic is unleashed once again.
Kwaang─!
At least, that’s what he thought until his head exploded.
“….”

After recovering his eyeball, Dusk narrowed his eyebrows. This time too, Aurora’s body was fine.
Boom! Kwaang—!
Dusk’s body exploded in succession.
In fact, his power itself was not great. Because he only slightly popped the extremities. But that made Dusk feel even more uncomfortable.
The meaning was clear.
Once again, once again.
To Dusk, Plan only repeats small explosions as if to make him realize that they are out of sync.
As the time went on, Dusk began to feel anxious. He put all counterattacks and defenses aside and focused only on whether or not there was synchronization.
… However, there were no problems with synchronization.
“Why?”
He lowered his gaze and looked at his arm. He sees his hand explode and disappear. Originally, the actual body of the princess had to have exploded for it to have been normal.
“You mean you saw through it?”
It was absurd, but he had no choice but to think that way. The man in front of me now understands the principle of “Synchronization” And is only inflicting damage on Dusk.
“I would have definitely told you. “It’s written on your face.”
Flan calmly continued his words.
“The words I uttered included your trivial magic.”
Dusk suddenly felt something forming on his forehead. It was sweat. This body was truly feeling a sense of ‘tension’ for the first time in a long time.
“I will admit it. “I guess I tried to make it too easy.”
Dusk stared at Flan with mysterious eyes. Soon, the blood demon’s body began to distort and form a new shape once again.
“How long I have been watching you, how deeply I have explored you, this affection and attention… ! Sincerity… ! “Let me show you now!”
The sight of bones being reassembled and muscles being torn and reattached would not be strange to call it a re-creation. Flann quietly watched the scene.
Soon, a woman appears.
A female knight with jet-black long hair and burning red eyes, who looks at first glance like Scarlett, but is much stronger.
That was when Flan calmly guessed the identity of her appearance. A faint voice came up from her floor.
“The scorching knight… ?”
The owner of the voice was Aurora.
Although she collapsed and couldn’t even control her own body, Aurora opened her eyes and muttered.
“Parents, you look like your parents. You really are the one using that method… !”
“hahahahaha, hahahaha!”
As soon as he saw the princess’s unfamiliar reaction, Dusk burst out laughing. Everyone has respect for the being who created them, and humans are especially strong in that respect.
Bah!
“Wook… !”
And then I kicked his head nicely.
“Shut your mouth. Because I’m not using petty tricks. “Aren’t humans seriously weak?”
Although there are differences in personality and tendencies, they are not different in the grand scheme of things. Isn’t that human?
Even the attacks that were rushing towards Dusk have now completely stopped. This should be proof that it is effective. He slowly regained his composure.
“Plan, this is just a taste of the ‘hard process.’ “My research on humans is very mysterious and deep.”
Dusk opened his arms wide with a benevolent expression, as if he was going to hug him.
“How do you feel? “Just move on to the sweet outcome.”
“Dusk.”
Still a cool tone.
I can’t read the emotions or intent contained in that voice. Dusk could only vaguely guess that it was probably ‘anger’.
But that assumption is soon shattered.
Flan was laughing at Dusk.
“I came up with it. At best….”
At the same time, Dusk’s body swayed.
“… !”
About the time I recognized the flow of mana as wide as the vast ocean. There was already a huge hole in his own stomach.
“Cough!”
Vomits out so much blood that it cannot be swallowed again.
Humans will feel guilt and hesitation while killing someone who is engraved in their minds as a ‘precious being,’ and there can be no exceptions. Dusk had to use his distant understanding to understand the situation.
“That can’t be possible, without hesitation like this…” ?”
“It’s not fun. Dusk.”
Suddenly─
Dusk’s head is cut with a short sound.
Aurora just looked at Dusk’s head, floating high in the sky, with a bewildered expression.
◈
Dusk continued to change his appearance thereafter. Parents, friends, head maid…. He seemed to be imitating people who were imprinted on his mind at random.
But he was not a threat whatsoever.
Because there was not one of them that I felt a bond with. And the result is this.
“Mirror World.”
Suddenly Dusk muttered.
… At the same time, the world changed completely.
The whole world has become a mirror.
Kugugugugu─
A shock that shakes the heavens and earth. A dizzying maze with mirrors on the floor, ceiling, and walls. All the things we understand are consumed by the mirror and disappear.
Silence with no sound.
Another me stood before my eyes and smiled.
I muttered briefly.
“Is it a unique area?”
If it was a unique area, I was familiar with it. I had an experience with Maiev’s “The World of Fire.”
However, even if Dusk looked like me, I wasn’t worried. To begin with, we are out of sync. No, the synchronization itself is just a trick.
After imitating the opponent’s appearance, the attack completely hides its presence, inflicting damage to both the target’s body and the self at the same time. In other words, it is a very difficult illusion.
When it came to mental strength, I was already more confident than anyone else.
“You would know. “You can never imitate me.”
Therefore, I spoke as if I was hammering a nail into a mirror.
“They call for synchronization, but it’s just imitation. “Isn’t your identity a fake that doesn’t even come close to the essence for a moment?”
Dusk was furious at my remarks. From beyond the mirror, the blood demon’s unique dark red mana began to sway.
“….”
He stared at me for a while.
“Fake and real will be redefined because of me.”
With those words, the mirror world shook.
Kwagwagwagwa—!
Numerous mirror surfaces began to reflect me. His voice slowly began to surround the space.
“I will completely erode that spirit. “I will personally become you and visit the princess.”
The mirror surface itself slowly began to approach. Memories floating in the air related to the people Dusk imitated that remained somewhere in my mind.
“Flan, it’s not too late. “If you compromise with reality, you can remain real.”
Collecting Dusk’s thoughts.
I muttered, resolutely fighting off attempts to control my emotions and memories.
“I wonder if I can do it.”
Dusk did not respond out loud. However, soon after, the vibrations throughout the space increased. It seems like it was quite a provocation for him.
However, the more I did it, the more calm I found.
“It would be impossible to imitate, let alone encroach.”
“… !”
Dusk’s eyes in the mirror began to shake. He was clearly agitated. But I didn’t miss the guy trying to look away.
“Look me in the eye and say it. Dusk.”
Ignorant interference is nothing more than a child’s joke.
Perfect mana runs through my body and spreads magic. I slowly transformed the mirror world into my study.
Implement a simple miracle that changes the other person’s space into your own.
I looked closely inside the mirror.
“I mean, speak.”
“I don’t like it, I don’t like it. No. I hate it—!”
He actually started avoiding my gaze. It seemed that the arrogant plan to clone me had gone awry.
“Are you truly qualified to become the main body?”
I was also curious.
Did you really have the confidence to do that?
“Ugh! Ugh—!”
The mirror began to crack.
“Blame yourself for not having your own essence.”
As spiderweb-like cracks begin to appear, the number of fakes appearing also increases. Everyone was in pain.
“No matter how many years you lived, remember that it was a meaningless life.”
Clink!

In the end, the mirror was shattered.
It was probably never going to be restored.
Dusk lost the battle for ego leadership.
Susseu─
After his unique territory was scattered, I suddenly felt a deep gaze directed towards me.
A teardrop on the tip of the chin, swollen eyes, and gasping for breath. She has an appearance that can never be considered a princess.
Aurora was looking at me.
After a while, she kissed her lips.
What??
