[The Inspector!]
.

"Focus!"
He mumbled as he looked at me.
-Whoosh!
And in the next second, he was right in front of me with his sword almost nicking my neck as I barely jumped back by instinct.
Using the extension of my bones from the legs, I pushed myself behind before using one of the [Space Mirrors!] I relocated myself right behind his back, almost grabbing his head, missing by a hair's length.
"Focus!"
He mumbled again, as he vanished before cutting apart my hand, tearing it off my body while I looked at him, focused only on his sword.
He wasn't smiling like before; he wasn't joking like a few moments ago. He stood there with little emotion in those eyes, as if he had given up on everything.
And extending the bones of my arm, I joined my slashed arm once again.
'I could probably kill him in a single touch,' I thought again for the hundredth time as I looked at him before raising more bones from the ground to attack him. But, as usual, he jumped a little.
And a bunch of black chains appeared on which he stood, positioning himself for another slash.
'All I need is to touch him but…'
In the beginning I thought little of it, but… why can't I touch him even a single time? He came so close and I had so many chances… and even now I still had my chance.
-Whoosh!
"Focus!"
"You bastard!"
And another futile exchange, where I stepped back from his attack and he somehow managed to predict my next attack. This cockroach…
By this time all my bones which I had laid in the entire city, should be able to create a wide range trap that I could use to defeat this guy but…
I saw those bones I just created a few moments ago being absorbed by the arrays as nutrition before going to the injured who were running nowhe-
"Huh?"
And I saw something bizarre. I saw those people, those bugs, running into the mirrors that I created. While those mirrors, on which I focus on, are in my control. The others are randomly connected to each other.
To jump in them is rather dumb since they would take you to another random place, anywhere in the city as far as my world magic can work.
So where are they-
And once focused, I found the answer. My eyes widened as I saw the connection of those mirrors back to their world…
"What in-"
" Focus!"
-Slash!
And once again he came and slashed me apart into pieces before I joined back slowly. All his attacks were near fatal, missing an inch of my life, but my extremely refined regenerative abilities kept me alive till now.
"Something is wrong-"
"Focus!"
-Slash!
Even if they were to go through those mirrors, they must go through the intense death energy. It was still suicide… there was no way…
And my eyes landed on the girl holding her two hands together. The girl who just cast a [World Magic]. It was incomplete and quite broken in many aspects, so I paid little attention to it.
Shocking, but nothing really that made me wary… but it was that right? Her light is filled with life energy… allowing those people to jump through the mirrors without dying.
I should kill he-
"Focus!"
-Slash!
"You fucking bastard!"
I shouted as I saw myself chopped in pieces again.
I was angry, but… something was wrong. Why is not a single soul dead yet? Not a single building collapsed. Not a single person took any major injuries.
And my eyes landed on the smirking guy with basically zero energy or strength. The guy who demanded to meet Lord Hell Guardian… he was looking at me with a mocking smirk.
It was him, wasn't he? The guy controlling everything? If I kill him, then everything will be over…
"Focus!"
-Slash!
And then my hands, that I only just thought of raising, were slashed and thrown meters apart from me. And the bones that I tried raising from the ground to attack that array guy…
"[Focus of Life!]"
"[Recreating Death!]"
"[Begone Evil!]"
Were removed in its most fatal form by a bunch of weak priests. A second late and none of those pesky spell would have work-
"Focus!"
-Slash!
And once again, I was slashed while all my attempts were going down the drain.
Something was wrong…
Am I dancing in the palm of someone else?
And then…
-Thud!
I was thrown away from that dark mage… Morpheus. As he looked in my direction. He was moving away from me… no… I was being thrown still by his force, as he stood there observing.
-BOOM!
Hitting something on my back, I then found myself in the hands of a giant skeleton. It had deep purple eyes and was currently holding me like a toy. I knew this particular skeleton.
"Millian?" I looked around to find a girl in red shorts and a black hoodie, standing at the roof just beside me.
"What are you doing, Ergas?" She asked me in a rather serious tone as she gave me a side look.
"I had everything under control. There was no reason-"
-BOOOM!!!!!
And the skeleton which was holding me punched me to the ground. I tried using my strength to get up, but I failed to do so as my strength was being absorbed by the skeleton.
"What is the meaning of this, Millian?" I asked furiously. Even though she was stronger than me, I was a fellow inspector.
By the rules, one inspector won't interfere with another… heck, even the Generals aren't allowed to mess with another General's Inspectors. So why was she-
"Lord Black Shadow is coming here. You better be prepared to tell him your reasons," she spoke as she looked at me with slight annoyance.
"Though I should clean this mess you created, in case I end up standing with you," she mumbled to herself as she looked at the people running around and jumping into the mirror… my mirrors.
"[Fragmented Death!]"
She created an entire army of small monsters that were shorter than one's fingers. Though weak, they could overwhelm anyone in an instant as long as they are not too strong.
And for weak beings like these humans…
"[Purify!]"\\
A blinding light came that erased all those beings that Millian created. And when the light dimmed, stood the man with a rather enthusiastic smile.
"A beauty like you should not play with something like that," he spoke before the dark mage walked in beside him. Both of them stood side by side, looking towards us…
And I felt like… I have seen that face before.
And the answer to that was…
"You are Adam, right? I have heard about you." Millian asked as her eyes changed from serious to cautious.
