Part 2, Episode 51 (244)
When I spun around, there I was.
The “me” in the mirror—pallid and trembling lips quivering with anxiety—murmured once more.
– What if they all die? It’s my plan.
Normally, I never bite my nails. Yet the “me” inside the mirror gnawed relentlessly at her fingertips.
As if, without doing so, anxiety would consume her and she would simply perish.
– I have to save Young Jimin. I must fulfill my duty.
Then, from somewhere, Blake’s voice reached my ears.
Unlike usual, his tone was profoundly weary and heavy.
Naturally, it wasn’t the real Blake but a phantom within the mirror, and glancing around, I could see reflections of both myself and him scattered throughout.
“Ah, I see. This place is enchanted with magic that amplifies inner anxiety.”
Rasifer, who had been tapping on an ornately decorated mirror, let out a soft laugh.
That mirror had failed in its duty as a mirror—Rasifer’s reflection did not appear in it at all.
“Why do some mirrors show people while others don’t?”
“The magic was scattered randomly. It’s meant to create confusion. Don’t listen to it, Shu.”
“Got it. I can barely hear it anyway.”
I answered with spirited confidence.
Truthfully, I am afraid.
Afraid that everything will fall apart.
But I’m not the kind of person who becomes paralyzed by that fear, unable to act or take a single step forward. That’s not me.
“I could dispel the magic one by one, but that would be wasteful. Let’s just pass through.”
“That works for me.”
The desolate phantoms vanished quickly once we showed little reaction.
“A crossroads.”
Soon, we stood before three diverging paths.
The left path was lined with plain mirrors.
The center path was lined with ornate mirrors.
The right path was lined with shattered mirrors.
Tilting my head as I gazed at them, I smiled and summoned the Fortune Rabbit, a high-ranking Luck Spirit I had newly contracted.
“Help me out, Fortune Rabbit!”
A massive rabbit with a basket tucked under one arm materialized with a pop.
The butter-colored rabbit was a Lop, its ears drooping long.
The basket was filled with small eggs—the green ones were 【Eggs of Fortune】, and the black ones were 【Eggs of Misfortune】.
[Hello! Would you like me to tell you which path to take?]
“Yes, please.”
So that’s why the Chaos Spirit King said this place would be difficult to break through without contracting with the Luck Spirit King.
[Come forth, come forth, number of fortune!]
Three Eggs of Fortune gleamed in the rabbit’s paws as it bounced about, fluttering its enormous ears.
The Fortune Rabbit, juggling the Eggs of Fortune, soon beamed brightly and cried out.
[If you go down the center path, something wonderful will happen!]
“Thanks! Everyone, head toward the Center.”
We breached the first crossroads without difficulty.
More crossroads appeared afterward, but thanks to Fortune Rabbit’s guidance, we managed to find the correct path each time.
‘But Fortune Rabbit can only reveal luck three times total.’
That’s why there were three fortune eggs.
After that, I had no choice but to rely solely on the misfortune eggs.
‘Well, there’s a certain technique to that too.’
I just had to juggle the misfortune eggs and avoid the numbers that came up!
“That one looks like the boss. Seems like it’s consumed quite a lot.”
Eventually, the three of us discovered a door located at the end of the path.
And the mirror blocking the way in front of it.
It was a rather large full-length mirror, and people were crammed inside it.
Seeing their faces pressed against the mirror’s surface, contorted as if pleading to be let out, I lowered my head for a moment.
‘No. I shouldn’t lose heart. We might be able to save them.’
I didn’t even know if they were dead or simply trapped.
[Water Spirit King Aurora says it doesn’t seem like they’re dead.]
[They appear to be trapped inside the mirror. I’m not sure why such a thing was done, but it bears the marks of some kind of experiment.]
That’s right, Mother.
What kind of experiment is Kaiser Laximan conducting?
I generally didn’t concern myself with the backstories of villains, but I wanted to know about Kaiser.
“Can we save them?”
Rasifer shook his head at my question.
“Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem possible. From what I can tell, that mirror consumes the life force of the souls trapped inside whenever it takes damage.”
“Ah….”
I gazed at the mirror with eyes full of sorrow.
[Water Spirit King Aurora tells you to listen carefully.]
Kill… us….
We want to be at peace.
Please… free us….
Following Mother’s advice and listening carefully, I heard faint sobbing. Men, women, children, elders—all of them voices desperate to escape the mirror.
That’s when it happened.
[Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ speaks.]
[That was not their true destiny.]
“…!”
The Fate Spirit King was actually speaking!
So shocked, I even forgot to breathe.
[Fate Spirit King ‘■■■■■’ continues.]
[If you free them, I shall guide them back onto the rightful path, so do not worry.]
What a relief.
I didn’t know if paradise or hell truly existed, but if the Fate Spirit King would guide them….
“Make them comfortable, Pel.”
“Got it.”
Rasipherd could read the shimmering letters too, so he readily agreed.
Of course, Blake looked like he didn’t understand our private conversation.
“It’ll be alright, Blake. I can’t bring them back to life, but… the Spirit King will guide their souls to a better place.”
“I see. That’s a relief.”
Blake nodded with a noticeably eased expression.
But then, he murmured somewhat dejectedly.
“I’m not being helpful at all.”
“That’s not true. You’re holding down the rear.”
My words didn’t seem to comfort him at all—Blake’s shoulders remained slumped.
Watching Rasifer shatter the mirror with golden magic, his face looked so much like a puppy who’d had his snack taken away that I couldn’t help but let out a quiet laugh.
“Rasifer is Rasifer and Blake is Blake. There’s no need to compare. You’re both completely different people, and being yourself is enough.”
“…You’re right.”
This time, his shoulders relaxed a little.
‘Praise really is the answer for puppies, isn’t it.’
Though he’d grown far too large to be called a puppy anymore.
“Besides, we might need your help on the next floor.”
We were only on the 3rd Floor now.
We had to reach the top before the other team did, so time was pressing.
“I’m done. Praise me, Shu.”
Just then, Rasifer, who had shattered the mirror, came to me and embraced me.
Or rather, he was the one embracing me, but that’s how it felt either way.
I praised Rasifer and then quickly opened the door.
The space that appeared this time was…
Surprisingly empty.
* * *
“Argh! Get out of here, you bastards!”
Bang! Crash!
Meanwhile, the other team was struggling against skeleton soldiers.
They were difficult to deal with—even when killed, they came back to life, and even with broken legs, they crawled forward to attack.
Moreover, the surroundings were so dark that nothing could be seen properly, which was also a problem.
The only thing visible was the ghostly fire, but its light was too weak to rely on, so the three were growing frustrated.
“What should we do?”
Soon the three stood back-to-back with each other.
In response to Superti’s question, Mikard pointed upward.
“I’ve been observing since earlier, and I think we need to head toward the head of that spine structure.”
“Right, then let’s try it. We can’t stay here.”
“What method are you thinking of?”
“Can’t you herd those things toward one spot?”
“It’s worth a try, but…”
Mikard, caught in deliberation, quickly realized that hesitation was a luxury he couldn’t afford and immediately manifested his ability.
Boom!
The ground trembled as a towering wall surged upward.
Over the years, he had grown capable of dividing the Colosseum into smaller sections to create multiple barriers, and that skill proved invaluable now.
“I’ve contained what I can for now—we’ll eliminate the rest as we push forward.”
“Got it! Urakan!”
Superti responded with spirited determination, summoning her spirit, and the three of them charged through the cascading heap of bones scattered by the wind.
How long had they been running?
“There—isn’t that a person?”
Mint Belarion, gasping for breath, pointed toward something ahead.
