Chapter 181 – 181. Mirror Image Ghost
‘I’ who look the same as me.
I immediately saw through their skills.
[Imitator(-)]
[Effect: Imitates the appearance of the being reflected in the mirror. If you kill the imitator, you can take away the target’s memories and emotions.]
[Handicap: Must have Mirror World skill.]
[Penalty: If you do not kill the imitator within one day, you will die.]
[Mirror World(-)]
[Effect: You can sneak into the mirror. You can move from mirror to mirror.]
[Handicap: Must be an amorphous creature without a standardized form.]
[Copycat(-)]
[Effect: When using Mimic, it imitates the target’s skills or abilities.]
[Handicap: The imitated skill is lowered by 2 ranks. Abilities are reduced by half.]
[Penalty: If you use an imitated skill, your lifespan is reduced by one year.]
“Huh.”
They have my skills downgraded by 2 ranks. Also, I received it with reduced abilities.
But the really important thing is that the basic skill I have is A even if it is low at S rank. Plus my stats are ridiculously high.
That’s because he was still holding the Demon Destroyer’s Longsword and the Wall’s Shield. Copying this image as is means copying me in my basic 4x state.
Just looking at the stats, those guys are twice as good as me right now. Of course, the rank of the strengthening skill has dropped and it has become weaker. In any case, it will be too strong for ordinary awakened people to deal with.
“Hmm.”
I felt it before, but the Demon King’s underground warehouse was like a counter to my existence. On the first floor, they sent out modified humans to cause trouble for me. This time, I exported my copy.
This is really crazy. I was too strong, so I ended up in trouble.
The one good thing is that they don’t have skill seals.
“It’s a good thing you gave it to me in advance.”
[Yes.]
Last time, I gave Agaf a skill seal in the Fallen Forest.
I handed it over to Agaf on the grounds that I couldn’t use it because I was too crazy to use it during the battle, but it’s seeing the light like this.
If I hadn’t given it to Agaf, those bastards would have all come out with skill seals, and they probably would have tried to kill me after sealing all of my skills.
If all the reinforcement skills were sealed, I was just dead.
Those guys are in a state where they are doubled by full reinforcement, but if I lose my reinforcement skills, I will just become a rat.
Anyway, I’m really glad. My foresight gave me goosebumps.
[Coming!]
“I know!!!”
Kwaaaaa!!!!!!!
The mirror breaks. Shards flew everywhere, and broken mirrors tried to dig into my body. Of course, since the body was not hit by a bullet, not even vital energy was generated.
However, we had to be careful not to breathe in the fine powder spread in the air. I’m glad I’m wearing a gas mask to remove contaminants.
“Come here!!!”
“That’s my line!!!”
The mirror image ghosts, who had even started imitating my way of speaking, pressured me mercilessly using crushing blows.
Although it is not weak enough to kill you with a single crushing blow, you must endure considerable pain because shock waves are transmitted.
It’s better if it doesn’t fit. Especially if you allow even one weapon during this urgent battle, you will be surrounded by these guys, and you will be lynched by a group of them, and you will explode and die.
“No problem!!!”
“That’s my line!!!”
I threw a piece of glass at the face of the guy who was trying to set off a shock wave with the wall shield, blinded him, and then put my foot on the shield.
Teo-eong!!!!
The shock wave was transmitted to my legs, and I used that as a rebound to quickly approach the guy who had been persistently stabbing me from behind.
Puhwaaaaa!!!!!
No matter how well you imitate me, in the end, the original is me. You guys don’t even have Agap!
“Cut one!!!”
“That damn bastard!! “You said it before me!!!”
There is a bastard who doesn’t participate in the battle and quickly repeats what I was trying to say. I was annoyed because it seemed like my comments kept being stolen.
‘But something feels strangely uneasy.’
The thought of killing myself with my own hands made me feel strangely bad.
[Be careful with the reason values. 10 just flew by in an instant.]
“What?”
[It’s not a skill, but it seems like a racial trait they have.]
“Chew.”
For some reason, the tension suddenly dropped. There was a reason.
[But now is not the time to worry about that!]
“What?”
[There… More is coming.]
“…”
Guys who looked exactly like me kept crawling out of the mirror.
Here too, the competition is based on quantity. It’s relentless. This is an impossible place to attack unless you are a person like me who can hide your power.
“Whoa.”
Let’s do it. When I just cut one up and killed it, its combat power was definitely lower than mine. If so, you can kill it. Anyway, those bastards are the ones who came out to give me experience in the end.
When I thought like that, my sanity was quickly restored.
“Whoa.”
After taking a deep breath, I jumped into their gap.
I know my skills best.
You can tell what they’re trying to use just by looking at their movements.
Those bastards can’t even use the skills I have properly.
I just copied it today, but there is no way I can summon a dark spirit, and even if I use Presence Block, I can detect it right away because the rank is lower than the Presence Detection I gave to Agaf.
Anything caught my eye.
Once the direction I had to go was decided, my body went back and forth between them as if it were blowing in the wind, cutting off their necks, hearts, arms, and legs.
Clap and flutter.
In an instant, I killed nearly 30 people.
“Kuheook.”
I got hit a few times and blood was pouring out. It’s fortunate that he missed the shot. If he had been hit directly, he would have fallen.
If you had fallen, there is a very high chance that you would have been hit and died.
“Whew. Is it the end?”
[I don’t know. When you’re in a mirror, you can’t see anything.]
“Indeed.”
They said there might be more left.
However, they were keeping an eye on them. They seemed to be hesitating as thirty of their compatriots died in an instant.
This was so overwhelming that I got scared. Too bad. But before it gets any worse, I decided to smash all the mirrors.
He pulled out his gun and fired wildly with the ammunition weapon activated.
“I can only kill 30 of them.”
[If you are too greedy, you will get hurt.]
“I understand.”
I picked up the awakening stone that had fallen on the floor. Unfortunately, my skills were not included.
Still, it’s an awakening stone that contains some pretty delicious things. I guess I can just turn them all into dark spirits and use them.
“Isn’t the survival level higher than that?”
[Well. I guess it doesn’t go up to this level anymore.]
“Well, it was much easier than before.”
I think the guys I met on the first floor were more difficult. Well, it can’t be helped since the survival rating has risen by 7 levels and the effectiveness of reinforcement skills has increased.
I just became too strong.
“Whew. “I put it all in.”
I put all the awakening stones into the magic bag I received from Leona yesterday. Since it was a subspace bag, it could hold items indefinitely until it reached the appropriate weight.
“Okay then.”
I moved to find the exit that led to the third floor.
******
“Haa. Haa. Monster.”
A mirror image ghost that escaped.
The guy took a breath while looking like Kang In-ho.
This guy was the guy who kept saying what Kang In-ho wanted to say first.
Yes, it was a unique entity that was slightly more intelligent than other mirror image ghosts.
“Whoa.”
Kang In-ho’s copy checked his status window. This was possible because he imitated Kang In-ho’s appearance and copied all of her abilities.
Hehe…”
The guy laughed. In his eyes, he saw the golden seal, a skill copied from Kang In-ho. It is not a skill seal given to Agaf.
Unlike skill sealing, which seals the skill itself, golden rule sealing allows you to erase the penalty or handicap of the skill.
That means…
[Imitator(-)]
[Effect: Imitates the appearance of the being reflected in the mirror. If the imitator dies, the target’s memories and emotions can be taken away.]
[Handicap: Must have Mirror Invasion.]
[Penalty: If you do not kill the imitator within one day, you will die.]
I was able to erase the imitator’s skill penalty.
Copy, who could only choose one skill due to his low rank, erased the imitation penalty without hesitation. With this, his lifespan increased exponentially.
You can live for more than a day without having to kill Kang In-ho.
“Hehe. Haha.”
Although I couldn’t perfectly copy Kang In-ho’s memories or emotions, I stole his skills and stats similarly.
This was enough. As long as there is spiritual and physical robbery, he will also be able to rise to the rank of the strongest like Kang In-ho.
A new monster is born on Earth. Perhaps this could be as threatening to humanity as the coming disaster.
Compared to Kang In-ho, who possessed the bare minimum of morality that a human being should have, the ghost in the mirror was a pure psychopath who did not understand the concept of affection itself.
“Now… Out.”
All you have to do is get out. Then he could walk around the human world as Kang In-ho.
By killing people, stealing their skills, and becoming stronger, you will be able to stand at the top of all things. If you do that, you will eventually be able to kill the original Kang In-ho and take his place.
It becomes real, not fake.
Hehe…!!!!!”
Copy laughed vigorously, recalling the coming future.
It was the victory of the one who ran away quickly when the battle was in full swing.
“Is it that good?”
“Huh?”
Of course, this would have happened if Kang In-ho had been careless.
Kang In-ho never lets down his guard as long as Agaf, who constantly criticizes and criticizes under the guise of advice, is right next to him.
Puhwaaaaa!!!!!!!
Before Capy could react, the Demon Destroyer’s long sword pierced through his back and protruded into his chest.
“Wow…”
Kang In-ho’s copy coughed up his blood and grabbed the protruding sword. He couldn’t collapse like this. All my grand dreams and goals were going to waste with a single stroke of a knife. It was like going crazy and jumping around.
However, his resistance was futile. The sword that had already pierced the heart cut off the copy’s hand and escaped again.
“Search.”
Soon the copy’s head was cut off.
“Phew.”
When Agaf found the entrance to the third floor, he suddenly felt anxious. It was close to a kind of intuition.
It’s that uneasy feeling that you’ve missed something. That’s why she told Kang In-ho to go around the mirror maze again.
[Thank goodness. I almost unleashed a monster crazy about my skills.]
“No, it’s a monster.”
[That’s right.]
“…”
She entered the third floor without Kang In-ho saying anything.
