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

A loud explosion came from the sky. Salid was also furious about the senseless massacre. Although he had not lived here for long, the residents had treated him very well. These good people had been killed by these flying ships. He could no longer tolerate it.

"I am Sarid, the Dragon King of Flames! Humans! You shall perish in my wrath!"

With the activation of his power, Sarid absorbed the flames on the ground, and thus transformed into a giant dragon in the air. Heat that distorted space gathered in his mouth, and several magic circles bearing the emblem of the Flame Dragon King unfolded in front of his mouth. With a roar, a stream of crimson light burst forth.

The aerial warships closed the distance and jointly deployed a defensive barrier, blocking the dragon's breath and surviving the Dragon King's attack unscathed. They also began to gather magic power and then unleashed a stream of light in return to Salid.

Sarid roared and flew towards the warship, forcefully crashing into the warship's barrier despite the streams of light, baring his fangs and claws as he tried to destroy it.

“Saried…” Li looked at the furious Salid and silently stood up. “It’s not over yet… The Demon King is definitely on his way…”

Silver magical light flickered around her, and the treasure chest monster emerged from the magical circle. Li's meaning was clear: she was going to fight to the end.

"Ah, I'll go too, even though I can't fly." Savi smiled as usual, then raised his sword, magical flames erupting from his body. Looking into his eyes, you could tell he was also furious.

“You should go back,” Ning said, tossing a bottle of medicine he had made on the spot to the survivors. “Just sprinkle this medicine on your wounds and then hurry back. This is no longer a place for you to get involved. You can’t help, and staying here will only get in the way.”

"No...we want to stay here," the lead soldier said. "At least we're alive, and that gives us the strength to fight. We don't want to go back...!"

“You…” Saiwei did not stop them, but looked at Ning Heli.

“…Yes.” Li nodded. “Give me a little time.”

Search.

Using her magic eye, she began searching inside the mimic's body and found those random, oddly shaped things that shouldn't be there, and took them out.

thump.

Ah, yes, that's it, tanks, and plenty of armor-piercing shells. These things appeared in Li's body at some point, and she didn't intend to use them, because in a way, these things are monsters to this world.

“Although there’s only one… there are some other things too.” Li continued rummaging through the mimic chest.

The remaining item that was taken out was an RPG... These were dangerous items that appeared without her knowledge, so she hadn't taken them out before. But now, it was time to use them.

"Come on, hurry up," Ning waved to them, "A few of you come over here, I'll teach you how to use these things, and then you can teach the others."

"Oh, oh, okay."

Several people approached Ning, who held up the RPG to demonstrate its use. She then climbed into the tank to show them how to use it. Meanwhile, Li continued to bring out modern military weapons, selecting only RPGs and sniper rifles—the two long-range weapons—and applying magic to delay their destruction after the battle.

"That's all I can teach you," Ning said like a drill instructor. "I don't care what happens to you after that, but you must survive, understand?"

After the survivors of the Duchy's army nodded silently, the three sisters turned and left, and Savi followed them. Their goal was to delay until the Demon King's army arrived.

Chapter 17 You'll all go to hell!

As they ran across the sticky ground, the survivors began their struggle. Explosions echoed in their ears as several shells, trailing plumes of smoke, flew toward the airship and exploded on the barrier behind it.

The attack did not stop. They were given enough ammunition, as she seemed to have acquired the entire arsenal, so the attacks would continue for a long time as they used this high speed to approach the airship.

The mages in the main city also began their counterattack. Although the airships were unharmed, it must have been very unpleasant to be hindered from both sides at the same time. In addition, that childish dragon king was also causing trouble for them. But believe me, they will have an even worse time to come.

"Savi! It's me who caught the treasure chest!"

"Ok!"

Savi immediately grabbed the treasure chest, while Dragon King Li ran alongside Akatsuki. The two Li simultaneously transformed into dragons, unfurling their wings and soaring away at high speed with a sharp whooshing sound. Ning didn't even need wings; he simply took to the air.

Treasure Chest Li released her magic, solidified it into a shape, and transformed into a dragon with magic. Savi grabbed Treasure Chest Li and flew into the air.

"Salid! Salid!" Li called out to Salid, trying to make him hear her. "Can you hear me!?"

"……reason?"

"Great! Quickly deactivate your dragon form!" Li immediately flew to his side. "You're too big! You're too easy to hit! Fight them in human form!"

"...I see, I understand now."

Following Li's command, Salid transformed back into human form, then spread his dragon wings to dodge the attack aimed at him, and flew to Li's side. His self-sacrificing attack had successfully bought him time, but in return, Li's Mystic Eyes could see that his HP had dropped by 40%.

Alright, damned kingdom, I won't let you off so easily this time. The Time-Space Dragon King is going to give you a big treat today!

"Space collapse."

That was a top-tier attack spell that she couldn't use before, but now she can cast it at will.

Boom! Crackling sound—!

Space itself seemed to shatter, cracks appearing everywhere. The airships within the magic's range began to warp, unable to move forward. Everyone rushed aboard; no one paid them any attention, for no one expected anyone to be able to board a warship.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

Savi jumped off the treasure chest in mid-air, then roared and slammed his fist on the deck. Crimson patterns spread out on the deck, and then a large number of pillars of fire spewed out, retaliating against the kingdom's army for their earlier actions.

"Enemies! Charge!"

"Xiao won't let you pass."

The kingdom's knights had just picked up their weapons to defeat Sevi when a white figure swept past them, cutting them down to the ground. Xiao wielded her beloved sword, slashing freely across the deck, leaving vibrant bloodstains wherever she went.

"No! Retreat!"

"You may have misunderstood something, but that has nothing to do with me."

A chilling voice drifted in with the frigid temperature, and half of the airship was instantly engulfed in ice. Ning, like a queen, entered the airship's cabin, swiftly stormed the cockpit, and took control of the vessel. The airship began its slow descent.

The ship was captured successfully.

Since there's no way to effectively attack these damned creatures using ordinary means, let them kill each other. Li initially only intended to try and seize one of the airships, but he didn't expect it to be this easy.

"Li," Ning communicated telepathically with Li and the others who were interfering with other airships in the sky, "it's finished here. Heh, it seems to be the same operating system as ordinary modern ships."

"Can it be operated?" Li asked while attacking other airships with magic.

"Of course," Ning said calmly. "You guys go to the stern and help me turn. Saiwei, can you hear me?"

"Hmm? Speaking to me? Is that you, Ning?"

"Stop talking nonsense. See that dark cannon over there? Go use it. Akatsuki will protect you."

"Tsk, I don't know how to use it. Don't blame me if anything goes wrong."

At Ning's urging, Saiwei ran to the ship's cannon and started tinkering with it. After instructing Xiao to protect Tian, ​​Ning began to control the airship. The airship, which had been slowly descending, started operating again and slowly took off.

"Li, help us lift the bow."

"Ugh, is it really okay to do something so reckless?"

Although Li was saying something somewhat cowardly, her tone sounded more like she was laughing. After telling Salid, the two of them left the area of ​​combat and flew directly to the bow of the airship controlled by Ning. They pushed hard, raising the bow of the ship.

"Hey?! If you're going to do that, at least remind me first!?"

Even inside the cabin, Ning could hear Savi's shouts. She was doing this on purpose. She could now see Savi clinging comically to the ship's cannon, trying to keep himself from slipping off.

"I don't care about that kind of thing, Savi, fire!"

"If you can drive it under these conditions, then show me how you can drive it!"

Click.

Savi grabbed something, and then the ship's cannons began to gather magic power. With a loud boom, a stream of light shot out from the cannons, but unfortunately, it missed. The stream of light grazed past one of the airships, and Ning calculated the angle and adjusted the direction.

"Isn't that how it's launched?" Ning continued talking to Saiwei without any sense of tension.

"Holy crap! Is this even possible?!" Savi felt like his jaw was about to drop.

"Wow! That's amazing!" Li shouted with joy as he hung himself from the deck with a knife.

"Hmm... it missed slightly."

"They're just messing around like crazy!" Li complained to them.

It was all just pointless experimentation, but it was effective, and since it was effective, they should keep trying. Savi was in high spirits, gripped the ship's cannon firmly, stood back on the deck, and then looked at the control panel, trying to understand it.

"Oh! Come on! I'm going to shoot you all down today!"

"Cooling down, beginning to accumulate magic power. Converge, expand, fire."

The second naval gun was fired successfully, and thanks to Ning Heli's efforts, it hit one of the ships, which emitted black smoke.

"Oh! You hit it! Did you see that, sister-in-law? You hit it!"

"Who's your sister-in-law?! I'll throw you off!"

"Wait, wait, wait! What are you guys arguing about?! Waaah! It's starting to turn over there!"

"This is fun!"

"Hmm...this thing is so heavy to push."

The attack was effective, and everyone was filled with elation. This strike successfully rendered an airship temporarily incapable of fighting. Although they were arguing, their cooperation was flawless, and they even began preparing for the next shot.

"Hey! Hey!" A young man's voice came from somewhere inside the driver's cab, "Damn it! What are you doing! You're shooting friendly fire!"

Ning looked around for a bit and found something that looked like a walkie-talkie. She thought of something and picked it up.

"Hello~ This is Hellfire Hotline~ From now on, this warship is under the control of Hell, and you are all to go to Hell."

Chapter 18 Even if we're just messing around, there's nothing you can do about it.

Noisy!

Ning focused intently on crushing the walkie-talkie-like object with her magic. Why did she say those things? She didn't know why; she just felt incredibly elated.

Boom! Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—! Boom boom boom boom boom—!

The tanks on the ground fired a shot. After identifying the airship that Ning and his crew were operating as friendly forces, they avoided attacking from the direction that would hit them and instead attacked other airships.

A cannonball and several RPGs struck the airship, which was emitting black smoke after being attacked by Ning and his group. The airship began to sway and descend. The attack was effective, and the group's offensive intensified.

"Li, I'll go and finish the last blow."

"Hey... Go! Shoot it down!"

Salid told Li that he was going to finish the job. Li hesitated for a moment, but then nodded and entrusted the task to Salid. Salid spread his dragon wings, and with a whooshing sound, he flew like a crimson meteor towards the swaying airship.

Having realized that the warship was being controlled by the enemy, the Kingdom's army began to change course, preparing to eliminate this unusual creature first. At the same time, they also noticed the rapidly flying Salid and aimed their cannons at him.

"Where are you looking! You bunch of intruders!"

Whoosh—boom!

Savi activated the ship's cannons once more, and the beams of light roared as they bombarded the airship that was preparing to attack Salid. The ship's cannons were deflected by the impact and instead hit other friendly forces.

"Oh! Well done!" Li cheered as he spoke to Sevi.

"Rational! Full speed up! Let's ram them!"

"Hey, wait a minute!?! Are we just going to crash into it like that?!"

"What do you say, Xiao? Get ready to charge onto that warship, unleash a hail of fire, and then rush back as fast as you can!"

"Okay, I understand!"

Ning changed direction and aimed at an airship that was turning around. Without hesitation, Li accelerated and propelled the warship upwards at high speed, crashing directly into the enemy ship that had no time to escape. Xiao burned his magic power and rushed into the warship from the bow in one breath, wielding his beloved knife and killing a round on the deck, reaping lives like a true Grim Reaper.

"How about this!"

boom--!

At point-blank range, Saiwei's shot pierced the enemy ship's hull. He drew his sword and, along with Xiao, charged into the enemy vessel. Ning and Li rapidly raised their cumbersome warship, gradually overtaking the enemy. Under these circumstances, other airships were unable to provide support, as they risked friendly fire and thus abandoned their plans.

"Hey! We're leaving!"

Ning Yinhe telepathically called out to the two men who were sweeping through the enemy ranks. Upon hearing this, Xiao immediately rushed towards the slightly raised bow of the ship, cutting down any knights blocking her way. At the same time, the hull of their ship opened, releasing the black liquid that Sevi had been somewhat afraid of—oil.

"Hey! I haven't gone up yet!" Saiwei ran up in a panic.

"Ah, I thought you wouldn't die, so I let it go. Find a place to bury yourself."

"Is there simply nowhere to bury it properly!?"

"Then let's light it."

"No need for you to light the fire!"

Savi burned his magic, gathering it at the soles of his feet, which exploded into flames, propelling him into the air. He then grabbed the bow of the ship, and the flames burned the oil, turning the warship's deck into a sea of ​​fire.

Boom!

Salid transformed into a dragon and slammed his tail onto the deck, destroying the first warship. He then quickly transformed back into human form and flew back to his friendly ship, pulling Savi up with him.

"Thanks, kid!"

"It's just a little effort."

"Waaaaah! Salid, come quick! It's so hot!"
