Act 1: Chapter 19: Mirror Leveling
Three days have passed since I challenged the 《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》.
Despite the shameful display the first time I entered this place, I finally raised my level to Lv.322 thanks to Lunaire’s zealous cooperation.
Today too, I challenged the《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》, fighting against those aberration devils from inside Lunaire’s 《Amor Sanctuary》.
I’ve started to get used to this place after training in this place for the last few days.
My fear towards those aberration devils has also lessened along with my fear of death.
「《DRAG RAY》!《DRAG RAY》!《DRAG RAAAAAAAAAAAY》!」
I spammed my most powerful fire magic towards the devils outside of the barrier.
The heat ray then hit the six-headed man with a bizarre long neck that was stuck on the surface of the barrier.
By now, I’ve more or less understood which devil I should be aiming for and the timing to attack it.
The invocation speed of my magic became even faster compared to three days ago.
The six-headed man didn’t even flinch after receiving a direct hit from my most powerful magic.
But this is enough. Even the smallest contribution will be rewarded by this world’s system.
Without a moment’s delay, Lunaire’s finger was pointed toward the six-headed man.
「Time-Space Magic, 19th Rank 《Graviburn》」
A black light spread around the surrounding of the six-headed man.
The six-headed man was trying to escape from the pulling force of Lunaire’s favorite magic but couldn’t.
The other devils around it were also swallowed by this magic.
The expanded black light was compressed all at once and exploded with a loud sound.
I also reflexively squinted my eyes.
I simply couldn’t get used to this kind of sound, no matter how many times I’ve heard it.
The body of the devils who were swallowed by the《Graviburn》 were turned into mincemeat and vanished from this world.
Her magic critically damaged even those devils who got dragged into the magic suction and lost half of their bodies.
What dreadful magic!
「Your mana tank should be about to reach its limit soon, here, drink this potion.」
I received a small bottle from Lunaire.
The bottle was filled with brilliant green liquid. I opened the seal and drank the liquid in the bottle all at once.
… this was something that she gave me ever since I started my training in this 《Distorted World of the Cursed Mirror》. Naturally, it was a 《Legend Rank》 item.

【Ether [God’s Blood]】《Value:Phantasmal Rank》
A miracle drug whose main component was created by boiling down the brain of a high-rank devil.
Legend says that fumes created from the brain are the closest things mortals can get to the air that was within the god’s realm.
It sharpened the mind of the one who drinks it, enables them to use magic much easier, and recovered their mana.
An archmage who drank this 《Ether》 is said to be able to see the truth of this world.

… Although I don’t know if it’s really okay for me to drink something as precious as this like mineral water, Lunaire told me that she could make it with alchemy as much as she wants. Cocytus was a place where she could easily harvest its materials.
Even though there was an unexpected side effect that made me look like a drug addict. It appeared due to an overconsumption of 《Ether》 on a daily basis. It ended up being not a big deal once Lunaire cast her 《Retrograde》 to cure me of my condition. [TL : ….]
I also noticed that my mental power experienced tremendous growth after I came to this place.
Though I couldn’t help but feel some sort of repulsion the first time I drank 《Ether》, by now, I began to think that it was quite delicious, I even enjoyed the slight intoxication like when I drank liquor. [TL : … ….]
I’m really enjoying the moment when I could clearly sense the pulsating mana in my body every time I drink this Ether.
「《DRAG RAY》!《DRAG RAY》!《DRAG RAAAAAAAAAAAY》!」
I fired another barrage of offensive magic at those devils.
「It seems 《Amor Sanctuary》 is almost at its limit. Don’t leave my side when I release the barrier while I am recasting it.」
「Yes!」
The first time I entered this place, my body trembled non-stop thanks to the overwhelming fear. It was to the point that I couldn’t even mutter one single word but it’s rather easy now that I’ve gotten used to this place….
The barrier of light disappeared and the devils outside of the barrier started to rush towards us.
「Kuun, Kuun!」
At the very front of most of the devils was a man who wore a crown that had the body of a dog.
Here it comes, that fucking dog!
I’ve been killed more than ten times by this shitty dog which also included my first death. But, this fucker is so tenacious to the point of being able to dodge even Lunaire’s magic.
Even though Lunaire once bisected its body in half with a giant blade, this fucker came again the next day as if nothing happened to it.
Lunaire moved in front of me and used her hand-blade to slice and dice that shitty dog.
She continued to move fluidly and sent a flower monster with large stump-like feet who came from behind flying.
「Chant complete… 《Amor Sanctuary》」
By the time Lunaire’s magic circle expanded, I felt a throbbing pain in my stomach.
Though that fucking dog’s head had been severed by Lunaire, I saw it laughing while eating what looked like my torn abdomen.
I checked on my body as I fell to the ground.
A large part of my body was bitten by that fucking dog.
… Damn it, that fucking dog got me again this time.
In my dimmed vision, I saw Lunaire throw that shitty dog’s head at the other devils that approached.
Though my body was instantly regenerated by the《Ouroboros Ring》, another devil hit me right on the head.
…. I basically was unable to move if another devil killed me right after the《Ouroboros Ring》 revived me.
By the time I woke up, I was already lying down in Lunaire’s hut.
It seemed that I didn’t have any memories of what happened after my third “death”.
It seems I retired early today too.
No, I might’ve raised my level a bit.
「Master, ShoulDn’t You TelL KaNatA the Truth?」
「What are you talking about?」
It seems I am overhearing Noble Mimic and Lunaire talking about my situation.
I’ve yet to fully awaken and that made it so that I couldn’t really understand what they’re talking about.
「FeignIng IgnORanCe HuH. WhAt I MeaN Is, YoU AcTuaLLy WanT Him St—」
「……《Graviburn》」
Lunaire pointed her finger towards Noble Mimic.
A magic circle expanded around Noble Mimic.
Noble Mimic’s body suddenly stretched up vertically as if extremely nervous.
「J-JoKING! I’M JuST JOKING, MASTEEER!」
Lunaire heaved a sigh as she lowered her arm.
Seeing the magic circle had vanished, Noble Mimic stretched its body until it was back to normal.
「Noble… I might feel lonely without him but, he’s still young and alive on top of that. There’s no way I’m gonna lock him up in this gloomy place. 」
「Yeah… You’re right.」
Noble Mimic’s head part lowered as if he felt despondent upon hearing Lunaire’s words.
And then rose up again as if he recalled something.
「No, master, there’s AnOther wAy to be wiTh hi–」
「Y-You’re mistaken! I only do what I have to do! That child will definitely die if he leaves this place as he is right now!」
Lunaire flapped her arms as she said those words with a flustered voice.
「…. Sorry, it seems that I fell unconscious again.」
Even though I was at my wit’s end, I still said those words as I tried to raise my body.
Lunaire twitched when she heard my voice and then turned around to see me.
「Y-You’ve already woken up huh. My apologies, it seems I underestimated that Devil’s endurance. I never expected for it to be able to move just fine even after I severed its body. 」
Lunaire bowed her head as she apologized to me.
「Let’s stop your leveling for today and use the rest of this day to recover.」
「No, let me challenge it again. I am getting used to this feeling.」
「T-the reason for today’s failure is your impatience. It’s true that you will be revived by the《Ouroboros Ring》 if you die but, you’re basically done for once your mana is depleted…. That’s why you should take a break for the rest of the day.」
…. I’ve noticed that recently, Lunaire often stopped speaking in the middle of her sentence.
Is she… in such a hurry?
Maybe she couldn’t calm herself thinking about me.
Too many things happened at once ever since that day.
Though Noble Mimic was looking at Lunaire, he suddenly looked at me.
「liStEn, Kanata….」
He then called me.
When I looked at him, waiting for him to continue his words, Lunaire suddenly jumped on top of Noble Mimic as if to forcefully shut him down.
The poor Noble Mimic continued to struggle as Lunaire grounded him.
… I wonder what in the world he wanted to tell me about?
