The black lightning, pouring down as if to tear the sky apart, strikes my body.
Even Lily’s inherently strong body couldn’t withstand such power.
Not long after, I pulled back, healing my battered body.
If I’m now layered with the Roar of Acceleration hundreds of times, I could escape—
“Is that supposed to be fast?”
“What…”
‘Acceleration (velócĭtas), Strike (plāga).’
The attack from Black Lily, mocking my swiftness, pierces through near my shoulder.
My left arm flies away as if it had been utterly futile.
Bang! A delayed sound bursts forth as I look at her in disbelief.
“…That’s excessive.”
“Hmph.”
No matter how many layers of reinforcement my strong body has, my opponent is Lily, a descendant of the Demon Race.
I can’t match the speed of a magic-using demon.
[?]
[What’s happening?]
[Huh?]
[Black Lily! Black Lily! Black Lily!]
[Is my arm just flying off?]
[???]
[One blink and my arm is gone.]
[Lily passed by?]
[Super Lily]
Boom!
The Compassion of the Saintess envelops me, and my lost left arm quickly regenerates.
Even though Magic had eroded it, the magic itself wasn’t particularly special.
‘The only magic that’s been integrated is Preservation and Space.’
The powers are special, but the magic is no different from an ordinary demon, so recovery wasn’t overly difficult.
Having swiftly regained my strength, I shot out thousands of spears, and Black Lily hesitated for a moment before moving her hands rapidly.
“Chaos (chăŏs), Multitude (sĕges), Bind (vinetúra).”
Crash!!
Chains of darkness, exuding a sinister aura, erupted from the sky and earth, unbound by direction.
If I shot out thousands of spears, Black Lily summoned tens of thousands of chains.
Swish! The chains immediately ensnared my spears, using their roar to absorb the damage.
The clash of the Holy and Magic caused the area to tremble uneasily.
The earth fluttered like a candle in the wind, as storms and lightning continued to strike from the aftermath of the power.
Unless someone of the highest caliber intervenes, this place will likely remain uninhabitable.
Whoooom…!
The Blessing of Ghantus, covering my body, shone brightly against the magic, but I removed that power myself.
Whooo…?
The blessing seemed a bit flustered.
“I need to engage properly.”
This blessing was likely placed to protect against the possibility of a user being destroyed while facing such a formidable entity.
There wasn’t really a reason to use it unless the world would face destruction if I couldn’t stop Black Lily.
There was really no reason to use a spear.
“The Eye of the Spear.”
Kwagagagaga!!
All the energy on the battlefield was getting sucked into one place.
The technique of Rusalha, the angel of the void, which pulls everything in from the tip of the spear.
The Black Lily, witnessing her magic getting absorbed, casually waved her hand in a circle.
“I’m done playing around (convérsum).”
Upstanding.
The storm stops.
Suddenly, the air begins to tremble, and instead, the power starts getting pulled in the opposite direction.
It was trying to absorb magic, holiness, and even me.
“Ha.”
As expected, I am me.
I can’t handle this with a half-baked technique.
“I guess it’s time to stop testing the waters.”
I won’t die, but still, I feel like I can’t win unless I use this.
Twisting the spear.
The holiness of destruction and the holiness of healing are drawn into the spear, and I felt a familiar sense of relief for the first time in a while.
‘Annihilation.’
A powerful blow that erases the enemy from existence.
The Black Lily saw the annihilation and reached out into the air, summoning a bizarre-looking staff.
A staff wrapped around a circular purple magical stone like a stem.
Gigi-gigigigi…
In that moment, I felt a chilling sensation that shook my soul, but I didn’t mind and cast the technique.
Finally, the spear that annihilates everything flew toward the Black Lily.
And.
“Fusion (concórdĭa), Extraction (abstráctĭo).”
Kakrak.
Kakrak. Kakrak. Kakrak. Kakrak.
“Extinction (excídĭum).”
My body shattered.

[Lily Mirror Battle?!]
Posted by: LilyLily
(Illustration of Lily and Black Lily facing each other)
So a boss that copies users came out, and just as I thought, the real Lily clone shows up lol
When she got copied before, it was already top-tier, but now she’s over level 200 after hitting the fourth phase, dang!
It’s the demon Lily who can’t use holiness but with black hair and red eyes, still super pretty lol
I’m fighting right now and it’s really tense; Black Lily might actually win?
Likes 21,101 / Dislikes 221
(Comments)
─Wow
─Is this for real?
─200 is a bit over the top
└For real, 200 means like? Those who can’t even hit 121 are mountains of their own?
└Big Lily
└Isn’t it just the stats that are like that? The real Lily isn’t even level 130
└Right now, Kraken could just be made into Kraken stew
└LMAO lol
─Black Lily is just stunning, black hair and a black dress, it’s insane
└I’ll support Black Lily from today
└Protect Black Lily forever
└?
└Sis, heh…
Heh, huh…
└Haha, Lily’s such a loser. How can she compete with Black Lily?
└Yeah, but the original Lily is still better~
└There are so many “real” Lily fans, haha. Black Lily is the trend, for sure.
─Is it real that no one cares about Duke Huangyeol?
└Duke Huang doesn’t care either.
└Haha, they say Lily’s mirror match is more important.
─But who’s winning?
└No idea, really.
└Lily used a big technique, but Black Lily used one too, so it’s a stalemate. The screen’s all messed up, can’t see a thing.
└Hurry up and commentate!!!!
└Looks like Black Lily is going to win.
└Sister…
└If “Real Lily” wins, does that mean she gets released?
└If she gets released, it’s actually good, right?
└If Lily gets both? What a steal!
└Hahahahahaha!

“……”
Flinch!
“Cough!”
…!
……!
My head is ringing.
It feels like something is calling out from everywhere, but everything is fuzzy because my head is pounding.
After a brief disturbance, I cautiously surveyed my slowly returning vision.
The shattered White Guardian and the ruined Earth were barely recognizable. The violet sky all messed up.
Splash!
‘…The Sea?’
And the sound of the sea.
“Ugh… ha…”
I held my ringing head and summoned Holy Healing.
Only then did the holy power start to cleanse the magic-tainted parts all around my body.
Just a moment ago, I had once died.
Of course, it wasn’t a spiritual death but a physical one, which came as quite a shock.
Because I had never died even once since my return.
‘Well, I almost died against the Copycat.’
Back then, I barely saved my life with the help of the Black Cloud, and resurrection never happened again.
But right now, I couldn’t receive help from anyone.
‘If I come out, I’ll definitely die.’
The battlefield between me and Black Lily was one where you couldn’t stand unless you possessed an upper rank of power.
Unless Lasty or Pharaoh came out in their main bodies, they couldn’t even help.
Lasty returned to the Space of Despair just before being absorbed by Black Lily, so this fight was entirely my own.
‘It’s been a while since I fully regenerated my body… but I’m more dizzy than I expected.’
Since my soul was attacked, recovering my mind wasn’t going to be easy.
Still, as healing continued, I was able to grasp the situation to some extent.
Splash! Splash!
First of all, the sound of the sea was clear.
This was Deoen’s realm, and from what I gathered before, it was one of the small continents somewhere on the planet.
It was one of those places veiled like ancient islands, and position-wise, it was probably in the center of the continent.
But hearing the sound of the sea means I’ve been “pushed” that much away from the core.
But the sound of the sea means I’ve been pushed away from the center that much.
Considering that the size of the small continent is measured in millions to tens of millions of square kilometers, it was an incredibly dizzying attack.
‘Is not being pushed all the way to the sea a result of the system? Or is this the limit?’
If it’s the latter, it might still be manageable, but if it’s the former…
Kwahk!
“Phew… I’m dizzy.”
The material for the White Guardian is a Metamorph with the ability of shape memory.
As long as I have the will, I can restore it even if it’s completely smashed like this.
I planted the White Guardian into the ground like a staff and looked towards the distant horizon.
‘That guy too…’
[Lily!!]
[???]
[Lily is alive?]
[Wow, they bought this.]
[Woahhhh]
[Crazy.]
[Black Lily is seriously something, hahaha.]
[Great Lily.]
[How did you survive?]
“No. I died once.”
Only then did I shake my head at the viewers coming into my sight.
I just died once.
And it was from a serious enough attack that my soul took damage.
‘Annihilation, huh…’
Maybe it’s something similar to my spear of annihilation.
Of course, considering that the spear of annihilation is a technique of quite a high existence, annihilation would be no less than that.
‘What’s the standard? The Demon King’s techniques in my memory? There’s no way something like a demon race or Duke Huangyeol could see them.’
[Really?]
[What? Was Lily dead?]
[Woahhh!]
[Season 1, Episode 1: Lily’s death, hahaha!]
[As expected of Black Lily.]
[Evil Lily: 1 win!]
[What, does that mean the real Lily is gone?]
“Not yet. Dying once or twice is not a problem for me.”
I cannot be stopped by the death of my body.
I’ve died dozens, hundreds of times for a long time.
Kugugugugu!!
“The problem is.”
Magic is approaching.
The overwhelming magic that spreads enough to color the entire continent beyond the sky.
“That means the same goes for over there.”
“Kya ha ha ha ha!!”
The black lily, whose body had been annihilated by the obliteration, was flying, draped in magic like a huge cloak.
