Chapter 146: The Mastermind-3 ✔️

-Master and Mashiro, please stands behind me. (Beleth)

Dark Wings suddenly come out of Beleth's back.

-Corruption reflection. (Beleth)

Feathers come out of Beleth wings and turn into dark mirrors.

-Huhm? (Man)

Every single dark mirror has the reflection of the man on it.

-Crush! (Beleth)

The dark mirrors crack and turn into dust.

-What have you just done? (Man)

The man's body suddenly twisted and turned into dust after Beleth finishes casting the skill.

-It's better to take him by surprise, master. (Beleth)

-Have you killed him? (Farah)

Before Beleth can answer my question, I can hear the voice come from our back.

-Do you think you can kill me like that? (Man)

The man grasps Beleth's head and slamps it to the ground.

-No! (Farah)

When I shoot the spell at the man, it goes through his body as if nothing is there.

-Is that all you have? (Man)

-Destroy. (Mashiro)

A white tree comes from the ground and tries to wrap around the man. However, the tree can merely go through his body like the spell I just shot a moment before.

-Naive. (Man)

I can feel something hit me at my back. I can't stand the sudden attack and fall to the ground. Not waiting for me to respond, the one behind continues stomping on my back.

-Urgh! Transform! (Farah)

I turn into the magical girl form to escape from this pinch.

-Hoh, you are still having something like that? (Man)

From the sky, I can see five men look identical on the ground. And two of them are holding Mashiro on the ground.

-Surprised? (Man)

The mist comes out of the man's body and heads toward me. I try flying in the opposite direction to avoid, but it still catches up with me at the end.

-Hehehe! (Man)

The mist turns into the man and punches into my face.

-Urgh! (Farah)

-Weak! Weak! (Man)

He laughs while punching me non-stop. Each punch of him is much heavier compared to an ordinary person's punch.

-Eternal flame!! (Beleth)

Once again, the room is filling with dark feathers. A dark halo is formed on Beleth's head.

-Eternal armour! (Beleth)

The feather explodes and turns into an orange flame.

-It's useless since it can't hit me. (Man)

The orange flames head toward Beleth's side and turn into armour.

-The sword that can consume everything! (Beleth)

Beleth formed a gigantic orange flame sword on her hand.

-Eliminate my opponent! (Beleth)

The flames come out of the sword and sweep through everything in the hall.

-Crazy woman. (Man)

The flames damaged the man while healing our wound when it touched us.

-Interesting. (Man)

The man is unscathed after receiving Beleth's flame attack.

-You called it eternal flame, right? (Man)

The man flicks his hand.

-How about now? (Man)

-Urgh! (Beleth)

Blood comes out of Beleth's mouth while the flame on her body disappears.

-You guys need to try harder to defeat me. (Man)

-Bloom. (Mashiro)

White energy comes out of Mashiro's hand and explodes. Even after receiving Mashiro's attack directly, he doesn't receive a single wound on his body.

To protect Mashiro and Beleth from his attack, I choose Mashiro and Beleth to active a certain skill of mine.

-The last one! (Farah)

Nothing happens when I try casting that skill.

-Huh? (Farah)

-I expected you guys to be able to entertain me more. (Man)

One of his bodies runs to Mashiro's side and kicks her body. The attack makes Mashiro unable to cast another magic and fly toward the nearby wall.

The man changes his attention and looks at me.

-What are you waiting for, little girl? Are you going to attack me, too? (Man)

-... (Farah)

-Are you scared, little girl? (Man)

-Flame arrow~ (Farah)

The flame arrow appears and shoots right at the man. The man uses his finger to hold it on its hand crushes it.

-... (Farah)

-Is that all you got, little girl? (Man)

The man looks at me while laughing hysterically.

-How about despair more? (Man)

The other body of his man grasp the head of Mashiro and Beleth and show it to me.

-You can't do anything, little girl. You can't protect anyone. (Man)

The man ridicules me.

-A mere weakling always depends on others. (Man)

-... (Farah)

-Cat got your tongue? (Man)

I focus all of my energy on my left hand.

-A beam attack? Are you sure that thing can hurt me? (Man)

I form a smile and look at the man.

-Why do you know I'm going to use a beam attack? (Farah)

The man suddenly flinches at my question.

-Unless you can read my memory, right? (Farah)

-I don't know what you mean, little girl? (Man)

-You only need to know one thing. (Farah)

-Huh? (Man)

-I'm going to defeat you. (Farah)

-Hahaha, great joke. How can you defeat me when you can't damage me? (Man)

-You will see it soon. (Farah)

I aim my left hand at the man.

-Are you going to shoot it? (Man)

-Got you! (Farah)

I reverse the direction and aim the left hand at my head.

-What the...? (Man)

-Do you know I can't use the normal magic spell in magical girl form? (Farah)

The power turns into the beam and shoots through my head. The beams go through my head without resistance. What awaits me after the beam hit me is not death but a ticket to return to reality.

-I'm back. (Farah)

The moment I come back to reality, I close my eyes. I can barely guess the moment we fall into illusion is when we look at him.

An irritated voice comes voices from in front of me.

-It should have been perfect. How could you know about it? (Man)

-It's not perfect as you said. It can merely reproduce the thing that the victim experiences. However, when the user tries to exercise an unknown skill, your illusion can't imitate it. (Farah)

I smug and says.

-"The last one" was what help me figuring out the nature of your magic as I have never used it before. (Farah)

-Grggh! How come you ruined my perfect illusion with a single skill? It makes no sense at all! (Man)

The surrounding ground starts shaking.

-If I can't defeat you with the illusion, then I will crush you by force. (Man)
