The demon opened its mouth wide and released a sharp scream, showing large mirror crystal teeth as it jumped out of the mirror before attacking Zevien with its claws.
Zevien quickly backed away to dodge with the help of his enhanced senses in the cat form.
He made a throwing motion with his hand despite not holding anything but right when he reached the last throwing motion's point, his magic dagger appeared in his hand and shot towards the demon.
Zevien grinned as he saw the dagger going straight towards the demon's neck.
*Crack...*
"What?!" Zevien was startled.
The demon actually shattered like a mirror when his dagger hit its neck as if it was a mirror and not a demon.
*splash..*
Zevien's ears twitched as he heard a slight splashing sound and turned to a mirror that depicted a pond scenery. The pond inside that mirror still had ripples.
*swoosh...*
"There you are, sneaky bastard," Zevien released Nyxite claws toward the mirror, but right before the Nyxite claw touched the mirror, the mirror turned into a proper mirror that reflected the claw and Zevien.
The Nyxite claw was absorbed into the mirror, but Zevien saw the tip of his Nyxite Claw materializing in front of him while moving towards him and was shocked!
"Damn! it can reflect magic spells!" Zevien exclaimed with a frown after quickly rolling to the side and barely dodging the Nyxite Claw.
*Shrill!*
The demon appeared from another mirror and attacked Zevien from behind, but Zevien quickly conjured a barrier using Somatic Sadness.
ραпdα nᴏνɐ| сom The demon couldn't break the barrier in one shot but continued attacking and broke it after five seconds. But Zevien was ready with his dagger as he threw it toward the demon again when it broke the barrier.
'I shouldn't release magic spells. But physical attacks like the dagger might work,' Zevien thought. He didn't release his magic spells carelessly because he felt that the demon might have the same power as the mirrors that could reflect his projectile spells.
The dagger shot towards the demon and hit, but it shattered like before.
Zevien looked around carefully as the demon once again appeared from behind him in another mirror and came out quickly, but this time silently. It didn't scream like the previous time, but Zevien still noticed something wrong behind him with his heightened sense.
However, he didn't turn around immediately and waited for a second as he internally cast Somatic Anger to empower his physical strength before finally turning around in a punching stance.
*Smack!*
*Shrill!*
His empowered punch smacked the living daylights out of the demon as it was shot to the side and crashed into a mirror while screaming angrily.
But after it crashed, it disappeared into that mirror and then into another mirror as Zevien once again started finding it.
'I need to do something solid to kill it,' Zevien thought while frowning as he looked around. 'These damn mirrors. The demon can sacrifice mirrors to change its position and even enter one quickly. I haven't confirmed, but it can most likely reflect projectile magic spells.'
*swoosh...*
Zevien threw his dagger towards a mirror to break it. He decided to break the mirrors when given a chance. After throwing the dagger, he also dashed forward to destroy a mirror with a punch.
The dagger hit the mirror first, but instead of breaking it, the dagger went inside. The scenery depicted on it was snowy mountains.
On the other hand, Zevien was surprised since he didn't hear the mirror breaking sound. But he still continued and punched the mirror in front of him.
*Dhoob~*
Instead of breaking the mirror, Zevien felt a weird sensation as his hand went inside the mirror.
The Mirage Demon suddenly appeared in that mirror before both of his hands grabbed Zevien's fist and tried to pull him inside.
"Fuck!" Zevien cursed as he tried to pull his hand out. Against the demon in terms of physical strength, Zevien was more powerful. The demon let go of Zevien's hand while glaring angrily at him and dug its sharp claws into Zevien's hand before Zevien fully pulled his hand out.
"Urgh," Zevien frowned due to the pain because the sharp claws made five holes in his palm as blood gushed out. He jumped back to create distance between the mirror and him before quickly using Somatic Happiness to heal his hand.
*Shrill!*
The demon took this opportunity to attack Zevien from behind by going into a mirror that was behind Zevien.
'Annoying mirrors!' Zevien frowned as he quickly used Somatic Sadness to create a barrier around him.
The demon was not that strong, but these mirrors aiding it were annoying.
Suddenly, Zevien remembered the sensation he felt when he punched the mirror and got an idea as he started creating the spell formation of Flash Curtain while the demon was breaking the barrier.
While he was halfway into creating the spell formation inside him, the demon broke the barrier and wiped its claw toward Zevien while also releasing a white laser beam from its crystal eyes.
Zevien was planning to attack it head-on with a kick after discovering that his physical strength was higher than the demon, but he was not expecting the laser beam.
'Was it hiding this move for a chance? Sneaky bastard!' Zevien inwardly cursed as he didn't stop his kick but continued. However, he changed the kick's direction; instead of hitting the demon's belly with a powerful kick, he hit its head at an angle and changed its direction so that the beam didn't hit him.
*shrill!
The demon screamed angrily at its failure and jumped back before disappearing into a mirror.
"Hehe, let's see if this works," Zevien grinned as he finished the spell formation of Flash Curtain and cast it in front of a mirror.
The Flash Curtain released intense brightness towards the mirror, but it was not a projectile-type spell. It was a projection spell as it projected a bright flash of light.
*Shine!*
All the mirrors released intense brightness instead of just the mirror in front of which Zevien used Flash Curtain!
*Shrill!!*
*thud*
A painful cry from the mirage demon was heard as it came out from a mirror. Its crystal eyes were burned and blinded.
'It worked? Great!' Zevien thought after hearing the scream while his eyes were closed.
They were still mirrors, so Zevien felt that a light-type spell might have some effect on them. He wanted to blind or damage the demon with this if possible, and in the situation, it clearly worked.
Zevien opened his eyes and saw the demon on the floor before a grin formed on his face, "time to die."
He jumped high toward the demon and smashed his right leg towards its face.
*Puchi...crack*
The demon still didn't die, so Zevien once again kicked after jumping high and finished it off.
A second later, Zevien saw all the mirrors turning into dust and the scenery changing in front of him as he appeared back in the room.
He felt something inside him and closed his eyes to check his magic eidos body.
"Got it!"
The Mirror of Oz-Fin relic and his dagger were floating around his magic core inside his magic eidos body!
