The Great Sage's voice echoed in Rimuru's mind, and she suddenly bloomed into a radiant smile, feeling an overwhelming sense of happiness.
For Rimuru, everything really came down to what she consumed.
She remembered that Baron Mordo seemed to possess several unique types of magic—
First, there was a crimson magical whip. When swung, it released sparks upon friction, resembling a queen's whip.
This mystical weapon from Doctor Strange had been used against enemies before; it could be wielded with both hands or thrown with one.
Mordo definitely had it!
Mordo, Kaecilius, and even the magical shields they used, along with ancient magical tools like mystical fans—these all seemed to be variations of the same type of sorcery.
In any case, she absolutely had to "taste" these magical wonders!
And of course, the strange sensation of the Mirror Dimension was not to be missed either!
Suddenly, Mordo looked to Rimuru like a small white rabbit delivered straight to her doorstep.
How adorable this little rabbit looked—ears perked up, veins exposed, ready to be skinned, chopped into pieces, and simmered in a pot with a sprinkle of coriander before serving.
She, Rimuru, was a complete viewer of "A Bite of Temptation" Season 3, proficient in steaming, frying, stir-frying, boiling, grilling, and stewing.
In simple terms, truly high-end ingredients often required only the simplest cooking methods—peeling, juicing, or breaking bones to extract marrow.
So tell me—was she supposed to be afraid of little Mordo?!
Rimuru subconsciously licked her lips, causing Mordo to shiver involuntarily.
What was that predatory attitude?
Why wasn't the Ancient One coming yet?
Help!
This was actually one of Mordo's reasons for choosing Mount Everest as the battlefield—it was essentially the backyard of Kamar-Taj.
If an apprentice was in danger, surely the master would intervene, right?
Beating the dog depends on the owner!
In truth, Mordo was indirectly trying to force the Ancient One to appear.
Time to act. Stay calm. Don't let him see through me.
"Master Mordo is trying to trap me in the Mirror Dimension. There is no exit here. If I cannot get out, neither can you!"
Rimuru put on a fierce expression and slowly approached Mordo.
At the same time, she secretly loosened the sticky steel threads binding him, deliberately exposing a flaw.
In that instant, Mordo felt it.
A tiny gap—but real.
I can counterattack!
Excitement flashed in Mordo's eyes, though he quickly lowered his head to conceal it.
Now's the moment to test my acting skills.
"We've never met before and have no conflict. How about we stop here? Open a portal back to New York, and we go our separate ways?"
Rimuru spoke calmly, as if genuinely concerned about being trapped.
"Now!"
Mordo burst free, snapping the sticky threads.
He formed hand seals, conjuring a crimson magical whip, and struck at Rimuru.
Rimuru "failed to react in time" and was knocked down dramatically. She "suffered heavy injuries" and rolled around helplessly as Mordo pursued her with relentless attacks.
Mordo shouted proudly:
"Power does not determine victory. Your arrogance will drag you into hell. Pay the price for your pride, outsider!"
"It was you who forced me!"
Rimuru pretended to panic as she leapt over a wall.
The magical whip was suddenly "swallowed" by her.
Mordor's eyebrows twitched. He instinctively licked his lips—this was actually delicious!
But to maintain the act, Rimuru immediately coughed and forced herself to suppress it.
Still, her body trembled slightly.
As the Supreme Sorcerer's apprentice, Mordo had some insight.
He immediately exposed her act.
"This kind of magic consumes enormous energy. You can barely stand now!"
Rimuru looked "panicked," then stubbornly shouted:
"Nonsense! I could kill you like cutting vegetables!"
But her performance was clearly that of a fox pretending to be a tiger.
Mordo grew even more confident.
He formed seals again, summoning two flaming energy shields in his hands. With a stomp, he leapt ten meters high and smashed them toward Rimuru's head.
Rimuru was "distracted," thinking about her upgrade, and ignored him entirely.
"Don't bother me!"
She waved her hand casually.
Several crimson magical whips appeared midair and lashed out from all directions.
Mordo was instantly beaten to the ground, covered in injuries, looking utterly despairing.
Why?
Wasn't he already close to victory?
Was this… the end?
