Chapter 36: 36. Is It Really.. Me?

Earlier,

Mordret's POV:

Within the [Obelisk of Mirage], Mordret stood and observed as the mimic suddenly moved on its own.

Its unpredictable behavior left Mordret utterly baffled. 'I haven't given it any orders, so how is it acting independently?' The realization came too late, and at that moment, a cascade of notifications finally caught Mordret's attention.

But it was a moment too late.

…

<WARNING!>

<Cursed child's flaw: [Mirror Taint] Has initiated!>

<The core has started corrupting.>

…

The flashing windows of the system left Mordret no time to react. The essence in his body responded chaotically, intensifying the frenzy.

On the other side, the mimic carried out the most unholy deeds that Mordret could never have imagined.

Tied naked to the chair, Rebecca yelped as the sound of a whip echoed in the room.

"Aren't you ashamed of yourself, you treacherous wretch?" the mimic muttered.

Splash!
