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

“It’s that one.” Xuanze pointed to his ear. “Put what you’re holding in your hand into your ear, but not too deep. Then treat it as part of your body and connect it to your magic.”

Completely bewildered, Saiwei then remembered that it was something Li had sent, and she had said that Xuanze would tell them how to use it later. Although he didn't understand its meaning, he figured he should just do as she said.

He put the bean-like thing into his ear, and after connecting with magic, he heard some sounds, which were very faint and somewhat indistinct...

"Ahem! Hello~? Can anyone hear me? Those of you with white headphones, please answer me~ Just say something, anything is fine."

That somewhat leisurely, yet slightly silly voice belongs to...

"reason--?!"

Savi exclaimed in surprise, but no one blamed him.

Because everyone wearing headphones had the same reaction: an unfamiliar female voice came from beside them, and they could imagine it was a beautiful girl, but when they turned around, they saw a muscular burly man. Who wouldn't wonder what had happened?

"Whoa—?! Hey Ning, isn't the power setting too high? It was so loud just now... Ouch, my ears hurt so much... Was that Saiwei? Seriously, don't shout so loudly..."

"Eh? I'm sorry..." Saiwei apologized instinctively. "Where are you right now? Is this telepathy?"

"Ah, I'm still in Akihabara... Ugh, no, no! Don't try to sway me! We're talking about serious business!"

"Feel sorry……"

For some reason, Savi, who had been criticized, remained silent. He glanced at Demon King Xuanze, who seemed completely unsurprised. Was this also something from their world?

"Ahem, sorry for changing the subject. Well, thanks to Prince Gong's rude shout, I now know these headphones are working properly. So, let me explain what this is... uh, um... oh, I can't remember..."

This person still makes some strange mistakes at crucial moments. Thanks to her, the serious atmosphere around us has softened a lot, which is a good thing. Maintaining a moderate level of tension is the best choice.

"Hey, are you coming? Oh... okay..."

After a while, it seemed like a different person had taken over.

"Enough with the chit-chat, everyone. Listen carefully: the sound you're hearing means your headsets are functioning correctly. This is magical technology that receives magical signals and converts them into sound. Due to time constraints, we could only mass-produce imperfect units that can only receive signals. The finished products are generally with the Commander. The words spoken by those using the white headsets will consume a small amount of magical energy to generate a magical signal that is transmitted to the other headsets. I believe you can guess its specific purpose without me explaining. This is the best we can do for now. That's all I have to say."

The person explained the purpose and function of the headphones in a clear and simple voice. Anyone with a little common sense would have realized what a great magical technology this was. Who made it?

"They actually did something like that..." Even Saiwei was astonished.

"Ah, umm, sorry we missed you all. We were busy with a series of preparations, so we couldn't be there, but it's all right now. Is everyone ready? Let's begin—!"

The voice coming through the earphones returned to the same person, talking to herself and pushing the conversation forward, accompanied by her commands.

A silver magic circle with a diameter of four kilometers unfolded directly above the sky.

Chapter 21 Clash of Kings

The Dragon King's sudden attack forced some of the airships to land on the ground, but the combined fire and ice breath attack still managed to shoot down several more ships.

The warships crashed into the ground, barely managing to remain in their original positions. The allied forces swarmed towards the downed warships, and the Kingdom soldiers on board picked up their weapons and jumped to the ground to fight back.

Using the ruins as cover and foothold, this special force in Akihabara quickly entered the battlefield. They all carried items made by Sanko Workshop, but those items belonged to them; Sanko Workshop was merely acting as their agent.

This group's imagination was far more powerful than Alice had imagined.

"Enemy troops have landed on the deck!"

"Alright—! Let's wipe them out in one go!"

"Mage—! Snipe them—!"

Upon seeing the people rapidly descending towards them, the soldiers on the warship's deck immediately sprang into action. The mages chanted spells to construct magical circles, while the soldiers grabbed their weapons and formed ranks, ready for battle at any moment.

A man was blinded by a flash of light. When he looked up in confusion, he saw a bald head reflecting the moonlight and hurtling towards them at high speed. It was a—

Light--

"Bald Meteor—!?" he exclaimed.

The booming sound of the hammer drowned out his voice as the bald, burly man swung his weapon.

"Take this hammer—!"

boom--!

The bald meteor's hammer fell heavily into the center of the group of soldiers. The loud noise was as if the warship had actually been hit by a meteor. The hammer blow sent everyone on the deck flying and collapsed the deck, leaving the airship in ruins.

To be honest, he didn't expect it to turn out like this. He just didn't know why he unconsciously increased the force after hearing the shout of "bald meteor." Who knew it would have such great power?

"This is a real headache... Is this ship about to break down?"

Wu Ke touched his shiny bald head, looking very troubled.

After being smashed by Wu Ke, the warship was covered with cracks, and all sorts of mournful sounds could be heard. Its altitude seemed to be decreasing. He had actually managed to destroy an airship.

The sounds of battle rang in his ears, but the most jarring sound was that guy's laughter. Wu Ke helplessly looked up. The little girl was laughing so hard that she forgot to land properly. Helpless, he had to jump over and catch her, landing her on the deck.

"Pfft, hahahaha!" Seria laughed so hard she couldn't stop. "Bald... Bald Meteor, hahahaha! I'm dying of laughter, hahahaha, cough cough cough!"

Bang! Crash! Thud! Bang!

Several Akihabara residents crashed into the deck, laughing so hard they were rolling around on the floor. It makes you wonder what kind of people live in this neighborhood, that they can fall from such a height and be completely unharmed.

Everyone was laughing, laughing uncontrollably. Only people from Akihabara would laugh without any sense of tension during a battle.

"Is it really that funny?" Wu Ke sighed and slapped his head in exasperation.

"No, no, it's because it's so lifelike, hahaha," Celia laughed breathlessly. "Don't mind it, really, hahaha."

Even those who were following Wu Ke and witnessed this scene had the same feeling, but they couldn't say what it was. Unexpectedly, the soldiers of the Kingdom Army actually shouted out in surprise. It really looked like a meteor falling at high speed. It was too vivid.

"Sorry, sorry, I really found that funny." One of them shakily got up. "Let's hurry up, we're about to fall down, let's call a dragon knight to come and catch us."

"Don't mind it, buddy, I quite like your reflective bald head."

Another person got up and patted Wu Ke on the head. Wu Ke obviously didn't mind such a thing. The more important thing now was to buy them time to kill those few Divine Punishers. To do this, they had to cause as much damage as possible and draw away the attention of the Kingdom's main force.

"Drink! Ahh ...

"Ugh oh ...

The divine weapon and the Blade of Divine Wrath clashed and sparked a great deal of fire. The next second, the divine weapon was shattered by the Blade of Divine Wrath. Xuanze immediately used ice magic to create a temporary shield and delivered a spinning kick to Serik.

"Is that all you've got?! Demon King!!"

Serik blocked the kick with the blade of God's Wrath, aimed at Xuanze's head, and pulled the trigger of Lagmo. A strong spark burst from the muzzle.

"Don't underestimate me, you bald stinker!"

Ignoring the blue flashes of the gun barrel as it fired, Xuanze forcefully rammed through the gun, making it impossible for Serik to aim properly, and delivered a "Star Blast" to Serik's chest. The elbow strike landed squarely on his chest, and the star-attribute magic unique to heroes exploded, sending Serik flying.

Is it really that simple?

Serik took the elbow strike without flinching, and roared as he threw a punch.

"It's still early—! My fellow countrymen—!"

"I knew you damn bald guy wasn't dead yet!"

The intense madness emanating from the two was so great that even the black stick figure had to give way. The Demon King unleashed a massive amount of magic that filled the sky: flames, ice crystals, black magic bullets, lightning, and wind-borne scythes. These countless spells transformed the sky into a hell far more dangerous than the Demon Realm.

The airship caught in the battle was only grazed by the aftershock of one of the spells and crashed on the spot. The power that the Demon King had accumulated during this period was only now showing its full extent. This enormous magical power even surprised Seric.

Xuanze took a step back and threw a punch as well, but he couldn't withstand the sudden surge of power from Serik and was blasted away. While being blasted away, he didn't forget to use the Divine Weapon Catalogue to keep the enemy at bay, but Serik was no longer there by then.

Varied--

"Aren't you surprised?"

He turned around and got punched in the face.

What the hell?

That's ridiculously strong, okay?

These words flashed through Xuanze's mind as he let his body be propelled by the power and slammed onto the deck of a warship. This was bad; it was much stronger than he'd imagined. If it had something this powerful, what was the point of summoning a hero?

The magical flames had not yet died down, and the scorching air made it difficult for the kingdom's soldiers on the ship to get close. They all kept their distance, hoping to deliver the final blow to Xuanze with ranged weapons.

Ah...maybe he has a concussion...and I just heard a really ominous sound...it's kind of funny that he's in this state right after starting the battle...

Xuanze chuckled and shakily climbed up from the deck.

Chapter 22 King and King

The worst-case scenario, which is also the most common in those messy fantasy works, is a huge problem that Xuanze is now facing.

The difference in strength is so vast that it can't be measured by any unit of combat power. You're way too strong, you bald guy! Did you grind a little too much during your first playthrough of this isekai game, you bastard?

"Demon King—! Get out of the way!"

The voice of the Black Knight Ister came through the earphone. Xuanze didn't even glance at it. He spread his palm behind his back, creating a magic circle to block the shot.

The bullet, unable to penetrate the magic circle, remained spinning rapidly on that plane, digging through the magic circle's power—it was a sniper shot from someone far away.

"Thanks, Black Knight," Xuanze said first. "Are you fighting the Punisher of Gods?"

"Um—I accidentally let her catch me off guard and attack you." Easter said apologetically, "You be careful too—"

I see……

From the very beginning, Xuanze's burden was significantly reduced. After his companions held back some of the people, the number of people chasing Xuanze naturally decreased.

"What's wrong, kid?"

Serik descended onto the deck from above, where another magical flame clashed with Xuanze's magical flame. Two other people had come with Serik.

Summer Sparrow and Peter Pan, the Seven Stars.

It's so good that the stick figure isn't here.

Xuanze thought this optimistically.

An ridiculously powerful boss, plus an extraordinary otherworldly being, and a divine punisher—hmm, very well, this is a situation that Xuanze can't handle right now.

Xia Que and Peter Pan crouched down and flew over. Xuan Ze snapped his fingers to trigger the prepared magic "Hundred Bones Purple Flame Bullet," which shot into the deck.

Purple flames erupted from the gaps in the deck, halting Xia Que's movements. Although she was exceptionally powerful, she was still human, and stopping her was easy.

Peter Pan summoned his Star Sword and flew over the purple flames, stepping on its blade. With a determined look in his eyes, he flew over on the sword, thinking, "Since you're so good at this, I'll grant your wish."

Xuanze laughed like a child, then casually unfolded a water-colored magic circle and charged straight at Peter Pan. Although Peter Pan hesitated for a moment, he still launched an attack, with seven different weapons surrounding Xuanze in a tricky manner.

8 Xuanze didn't dodge at all, but went straight at him. Suddenly, water-colored magic circles appeared all over his body. The seven different holy swords came into contact with these magic circles at the same time, lost their power, and fell to the ground.

"Snake Water Entanglement".

These holy swords were all entangled in the highly adhesive water, and the sudden increase in weight instantly pulled them to the ground. Xuanze rushed in front of Peter Pan and kicked him head-on, sending him flying.

Da da da da da—!

The sound of bullets being fired traveled through the purple flames to this side, and Xuanze immediately ran to avoid Serik's pursuit while seeking help.

"Hey—! Can you hear me!?" Xuanze shouted into the air, "This is really bad here! Come over here and give me a hand!"

Xuanze is undoubtedly the one being suppressed right now. If this fight continues, he might actually be killed. At least a few people should come to help buy some time.

If we delay a little longer, it will be completed.

Despite our reluctance, this is probably the only way to break the deadlock, assuming we don't take the unstable factor into account.

After that explanation, Li and Ning remained silent. Xuanze was certain that the two of them were doing something. How long would it take for their actions to take effect? ​​Nobody knew.

We can't count on them now, but their existence is definitely a trump card, and they will surely deliver a fatal blow to this bald man at the most crucial moment.

"I heard you're seeking help."

The chilling aura extinguished the blazing purple flames on the deck; the somewhat indifferent voice, the chilling temperature.

"Ha! What a great thug!"

"Stop arguing, I'm leaving if I don't need it."

She landed lightly on the deck, frost and ice crystals covering everything around her, and snow began to fall. This was Miss Finoer, in a state of full power.

With such external help, Xuanze's pressure will be greatly reduced, which is a situation he couldn't have hoped for.

Xuanze would never ask for anything; he treated everyone the same way. Finoer, of course, wouldn't mind such a thing. Compared to the conflicts between the two of them and some trivial clashes, she was more focused on how to help her sister.

"A very important person has arrived."

Serik approached step by step, carrying the Blade of Wrath, the blade dragging on the deck, leaving a deep gash and sparks flying.

"I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

It took Peter Pan a while to get rid of the magic that was binding the "Seven Stars".

“It’s alright. Our opponent is a true hero of our time. Such growth is unexpected.” Serik waved his hand, indicating that he didn’t mind. “But that’s good. Fight with all your might, my compatriots.”
