NOVEL WEB Chapter 21: CH 21:The Devil in Mirror
With a flick of his finger, a dried fruit shoots out and strikes the magic mirror directly, exploding on its surface.
Ripples spread across the surface of the mirror, and after a moment, the devil's face slowly emerges. Unlike its usual demeanor, the devil looks noticeably tired.
Excessive answering of questions seemed to be a great burden for this guy.
"Dear strong one, you can call me directly next time."
The devil had a headache. Although the dried fruit would not cause any harm to him, the force just now would be enough to kill an ordinary person two or three times.
Since its creation, the magic mirror has always been treated as a treasure. This newfound treatment makes the devil want to cry.
"Stop talking nonsense and answer my question. Supernatural classification."
"Dear strong one, you will get the answer you want"
"The classification of supernatural levels is not complicated. What I know is as follows: Apprentice level, Professional level, Legendary level, and beyond Legendary level."
"For example, a witch may be called a witch apprentice, a professional witch, or a legendary witch. Those beyond the legendary level are outside my knowledge."
"What about her, what level is she now?" Rock pointed at the queen.
It is another extended question. This should be considered two questions. Unfortunately, the devil only dared to whisper this in his heart.
"The queen is a witch apprentice, and she is not a very strong apprentice"
"Then, what about me?"
The devil in the magic mirror fell into deep thought, and after a moment, he said
"Sorry, I cannot fully analyze your power. I can only offer a vague assessment."
"Your strange armor seems to contain amazing power. If it is fully unleashed, it should not be weaker than the general professional level."
Rock already knew it in his mind. The apprentice level is roughly equivalent to the second-level mutant, the professional level is equivalent to the third-level mutant, and the legendary level corresponds to the fourth-level mutant like the two mutant leaders.
Professor X, for example, can scan the entire world with his mind when wearing his helmet. Magneto can control metal to destroy a football field in an instant. Such powers fall into the legendary category.
As for those beyond the legendary level, they are probably gods, Sky fathers and the like. There is no need to consider those in the short term.
"The second question is, what is the supernatural seed?"
The devil curls his lips, as if silently protesting that this is clearly the third question. However, he doesn't dare say that out loud. Instead, he keeps his complaints to himself and answers the question honestly.
"Supernatural Seeds are spiritual awakening object granted by the higher beings to lower beings. Only those who have reached the professional level can initially condense supernatural seeds and grant them upon others."
"How can someone obtain Supernatural seeds?"
"By killing a being that possesses a supernatural seed. The more mysterious the being, the more precious the seed. Some can even grant additional supernatural abilities. Those above the professional level can also condense supernatural seeds and bestow them."
Rock nodded:"The last question."
The devil in the magic mirror already had an expression that his whole family had died.
"Sir, it's not that I don't want to answer, but the more questions I answer, the greater the backlash I suffer. Answering another will exceed my limit."
Rock doesn't press further but responded lightly: "Then we'll leave it for tomorrow. I'll tell you the question now so you can think about it overnight."
Without waiting for the devil's answer, Rock continued
"Solve me a math problem: -?p=ρF＋μΔv."
Devil: ????
What on earth is this monster talking about?!
I am a devil, a devil you bastard! And you're asking me to solve math problems?!
"Okay, go back and tell me the answer tomorrow."
Before the devil could continue to say anything, a piece of cloth that came out of nowhere was thrown directly into the magic mirror, forcibly blocking the devil who wanted to protest.
Devil:…
Don't think that the devil won't curse, bastard!
The matter was over. The queen, who had been nestling in the arms of the Dark knight had a very strange expression on her face. She looked like she wanted to laugh but she didn't dare to laugh out loud.
"Dear master, are you deliberately playing tricks on the magic mirror?"
"No, I just found something very interesting."
The queen wanted to ask what the interesting thing was, but seeing that the Dark knight didn't seem to be ready to answer, she suppressed her curiosity and transformed into a beautiful snake again, wrapping around the Dark knight .
...
The Third Day
This time, the devil was called several times before it finally reappeared, looking even paler and more exhausted than before.
"Come, answer my question"
"Sorry, I can't answer this question."
"Trash!"
Devil:…
I'm very angry, I want to explode, but I can't, and most importantly, I can't even beat him.
"Tell me about the Supernatural classification"
"Okay…" the devil begins reluctantly.
"And the path to supernatural promotion?"
"OK..." The devil continues to answer
"Supernatural ..."
"Sorry, I haven't recovered from the last question. I can't answer any more right now."
"Trash!"
Devil:...…
It's just trash, since I really can't answer it,I'll just accept being called trash.
"You can answer one less question tomorrow. Now, I will leave you one more math question. If you cannot answer it tomorrow, you will be responsible for the consequences.-p(?u/?t+u??u=-?p+μ?+2u+f."
Before the devil can respond, the mirror goes black again.
....
The Fourth Day
The devil shows up late—half an hour past the agreed time. When he finally appears, his eyes were barely open.
"Come, answer my question"
"Sorry, I still can't answer this."
"Trash!"
The devil just gave up, and let him be scolded, it's not a big deal.
However, the next moment
"Crack!"
A crack appeared on the surface of the magic mirror, and a severe pain came, waking the numb and tired devil instantly.
"It hurts! Spare my life! Strong One, please spare my life!"
"As long as it's not a math problem, I can answer anything you want to know, please!"
The Dark knight let go of his hand:"Anything except math problems, right?"
"Yes!" The devil nodded quickly:"Except for math problems, anything is fine."
"How many supernatural beings exist in this world."
The devil hesitated for a while before answering a number: "11, yes, 11."
The seven dwarfs, Snow White, the queen, even if the magic mirror is counted, there are only ten, but the answer is 11.
Rock's mouth curled up with a hint of playfulness.
"Continue to answer my question, where is the distribution of Supernatural knowledge in this world."
This time, the devil hesitated for a longer time, and after a long time, a clearly marked map appeared on the surface of the magic mirror.
Rock wrote down the map and nodded with satisfaction.
"It seems that you can answer everything except math questions."
"That's right, as long as it's not a math problem."The devil gnashed his teeth and said, damn math problems, how can there be such a terrible thing in the world! It's even more terrible than this devil!
"The manufacturing formula of Pym particles."
Devil:????
What the hell are Pym particles?
"This is not a math problem. If you can't answer it,..."
"Crack!"
The magic mirror was crushed again, and the threat was self-evident.
This time, the magic mirror was not forcibly blackened. The devil's deep eyes stared at the Dark knight for a long time.For a moment, cold and ominous light flickered in his deep eyes. Slowly, the devil retreated into the mirror, his face disappeared.
Watching the magic mirror with the devil's face gradually disappearing, Rock in the Dark knight armour pursed his lips slightly.
"Finally, you have some killing intention~"
