Chapter 107 - Reflections of the Monster
Bang!
The magic bullet tore through the air and shattered a wall instead.
Millie didn’t hesitate. She imdiately abandoned her position and dodged the oncoming strike.
Whoooosh!
A blade grazed past her hair — barely missing.
Furrowing her brows, Millie caught sight of yet another sudden attack.
[Skill, ’Hawk’s Eye (A)’ activated.]
...Danger!
At the sa mont, she twisted her body, narrowly avoiding a dagger that curved in from an unnatural angle.
And she saw it — ’Kyle’s sword’ thrusting swiftly to stab her in the side.
Clang!
She parried the blade with her pistol, using the recoil to leap backward.
The pistol fired in rapid bursts, intercepting every one of the incoming daggers midair.
It was a dead-even battle.
Millie steadied her breath and fixed her gaze on Kyle.
As expected... he was sothing else.
...He’s strong.
Just from those few exchanges, she could roughly gauge his level.
She’d honestly wondered — how strong could a re fake be?
But a monster was still a monster.
Well, he’s Kyle’s duplicate, after all.
Whether it was swordsmanship or dagger techniques —
Sotis even magic — he really felt like the in-ga Kyle had been ripped straight out into reality.
Anything he held beca a weapon in his hands.
He fought with it all.
Millie swallowed dryly.
Kyle’s class... no one ever figured it out, even to the end.
As if there were no restrictions, he wielded all types of weapons with masterful ease — just like the real Kyle.
His combat instincts went without saying.
Millie spun swiftly, firing at the charging Kyle as she twisted her body mid-movent.
A dagger — thrown who knows when — grazed her collar.
In return, she snapped her leg up in a roundhouse kick toward Kyle’s head.
Did it connect?
No.
Kyle blocked it with his arm, and even as he was thrown back, he ford hand seals and unleashed a spell.
Even in a boosted state with ’Burn Blood,’ this is all I can manage?
Calling him a combat genius would be an understatent.
"Kiiyaaaaaah!!"
She ducked low beneath the fireball and returned fire as Kyle rushed in again.
His bloodshot eyes and drooling mouth —
That alone made it clear: this wasn’t the real Kyle.
This creature lacked reason.
Which ans he’s beatable.
A Kyle who can’t think?
That was the sa as tying both arms and legs behind his back.
Millie’s eyes glead as she charged up another magic round.
Her arm bent like a bowstring as she pulled the trigger.
The bullet arced through the air.
[Skill, ’Curved Shot (D)’ activated.]
A curving magic bullet!
Weaker in power, sure — so she didn’t use it often.
But in PvP situations, it could be incredibly effective.
Perfect for misdirection.
As Kyle’s eyes tracked the first bullet, she imdiately fired a second one —
This ti, straight ahead.
Bang!
The straight bullet flew almost simultaneously with the curved one, both converging toward Kyle.
One aid for his head.
The other — his shoulder.
Kyle barely managed to dodge them both.
"A damn monster, I swear."
But Millie let go of her hesitation.
She kept firing without pause.
Because her real attack hadn’t even started yet.
The technique she was about to use — specialized for PvP — was one she’d personally developed.
She called it: Magic Bombardnt.
Two bullets weren’t going to cut it.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
An unending stream of bullets — so curved, others straight.
Five magic bullets aid at Kyle’s front.
Seven from the side.
Even so that passed him completely, circling to strike from behind.
What was terrifying wasn’t just the volu —
It was that every single bullet was aid precisely at a vital point.
[Skill, ’Magic Bullet Barrage (B)’ activated.]
[Skill, ’Hawk’s Eye (A)’ activated.]
Tatatatatatatata!!
Faced with the hailstorm of bullets, Kyle had no choice but to focus entirely on dodging.
His eyes shone gold — tracking the trajectories.
His movents were ghostlike, slipping through the barrage with impossible agility.
Watching him again, she wondered — is he even human?
"At this rate... isn’t he even stronger than the real Mr. Kyle?"
It was like fighting so hyper-optimized AI.
No matter where she aid, landing a critical blow seed impossible.
Still — he’s just a monster.
Millie’s eyes narrowed. She waited for the next skill to be ready.
Kyle had only now noticed the suspicious surge of magic energy — but it was too late.
A monster with Kyle’s skills and instincts, but no mind of his own.
That was why she could win.
The real Kyle’s greatest weapon wasn’t just his skills, level, or swordplay.
It was his ability to defy expectations —
To invent unpredictable, absurd strategies.
"And that’s why... you need to disappear."
"Kiiiyat?"
BOOM! BOOM-BOOM-BOOOOOM!
[Skill, ’Explosive Magic Rounds (C)’ activated.]
So of her earlier bullets — the ones that had missed and embedded into walls and floor — had all been Explosive Rounds.
Now, they detonated.
One after another.
The ceiling collapsed on top of Kyle.
And as the floor gave way, he was swallowed into the story below.
Ruuumble...!
Millie peered down at the crater with cold eyes.
Beneath the crushed concrete, Kyle trembled — trying to claw his way out.
"Like I said... total monster."
A red magic bullet ford and flew — aid straight between his eyebrows.
Kyle’s arms went limp, and at last, his death was confird.
He wouldn’t be getting up again.
As the fight finally ended, Lykan — who had stayed well back — ca running over, drenched in nervous sweat.
Millie glanced down again at Kyle’s mangled corpse.
And then...
She had a thought.
A faint, foolish, but unavoidable worry.
Mr. Jhin... I hope he’s okay.
She swallowed the uneasy feeling.
BOOM! KA-BOOOM!
The inner walls of the building burst apart, clouds of dust exploding in every direction.
With explosive force powerful enough to cause detonations just from passing contact —
The soldiers under Adonis who had entered BeyTower were now running with everything they had.
"SHIIIIIT! RUNNNNN!!"
"WHY THE HELL IS IT ONLY CHASING ?!"
It wasn’t just happening in one place.
Split and scattered throughout the tower, they were all being pursued —
By sothing.
And the terrifying part...
Every single one of those pursuers looked exactly the sa.
Adonis broke into a cold sweat as he spotted a mber of his team.
And behind them — yet another identical pursuer.
"There’s another one?!"
BOOOOM!
Adonis glanced around the endlessly shaking BeyTower and swallowed hard.
If the explosions weren’t coming from here — that ant more battles were happening elsewhere, too.
Don’t tell ... there are more of them.
But his expectations were betrayed.
They weren’t just similar.
They were identical.
Identical in appearance.
Identical in power.
Identical in attack patterns.
It was enough to send chills down his spine.
"This is seriously insane!"
