Collapse of iron, but I am the Supreme Strange

All the objects and decorations in the entire temple were turned upside down in a mirrored state.

"Teacher An Yi gave me an A for the space magic I learned."

Clara raised the corners of her mouth slightly, then turned her hands, causing the entire temple to rotate with her movements.

The walls expanded backwards, the monster fell into the distance, and the infinite corridor broke into pieces, each beginning to reverse in different directions.

The wooden doors, counters, and floors all rotated according to their original patterns, like a gorgeous kaleidoscope.

Clara fell with the monster, its red cloak fluttering behind her.

The monster stretched out its tentacles and hooked onto the floor beside it, then clung to the wall with its entire body, stopping its fall backwards.

Clara was floating in front of it, staring at the door behind the monster and nodded.

"I have an idea..."

"Library" was written on the door. Clara clenched her right fist, and the door of the library collapsed backwards instantly, throwing the monster out.

The girl followed him in and floated in the center of the library's spiral staircase.

She pressed her hands downward, and the entire library space began to sink.

The spiral staircase rotates downwards like an endless thread, which makes people feel dizzy.

The tentacle monster raised its big eyes and looked upwards. It found that Clara's figure seemed to be getting farther and farther away from it, so it began to squeak anxiously.

Hooking the handrail of the spiral staircase with its wrist tip, it used eight flexible tentacles to relay the message back and forth, climbing rapidly upwards and soon closing the distance with Clara.

"Did you catch up? Very good."

Clara looked at the monster moving counterclockwise upward beneath her.

She held up the golden magic circle with one hand and pressed the other hand on the magic circle, turning it slightly.

With a crackling sound, the world began to reverse and gravity changed irregularly. The continuous changes in an instant made the monster dizzy and unable to find a way to move forward.

Clara put her hands together, and a translucent double-ended blade appeared in her palms.

The magic floating cloak understood Clara's wishes and carried her towards the monster. The tentacle monster, who had just recovered from the dizziness, shook its head and swung its arms at Clara, but the girl made a beautiful turn and cut the tentacles with a sharp blade.

She threw the space fragment in her hand forward, piercing through all the monsters' arms that were used to block, and went straight to its eyeball.

whoosh-

As expected, the monster disappeared again.

"Is it invisibility? Then what's next - huh?"

The girl noticed that the tentacles that she cut open and fell to the ground also disappeared, and she felt a little confused.

Clara had a disc magic circle in her hand. She turned it slightly and the whole space began to rumble and vibrate.

Thousands of books in the library flew out from the shelves and quickly gathered around Clara.

The books floated around the girl, layer upon layer, like planets guarding a star.

By filling the entire space with objects in the form of a dot matrix, the monster's movement path will be clearly visible.

"No matter which direction you want to move, I will find it first..."

Clara murmured to herself, her wine-red eyes rolling around, taking in every tiny change.

Where was it—it was impossible for such a huge body to move without bumping into any book.

Clara clenched her fists.

As long as this guy moves towards me, his whereabouts will be exposed immediately—

"later?"

Clara raised her head sharply and turned around.

But something surprising happened. The book formation behind her remained in its original state, without any signs of being knocked open by any object.

With a swish, the monster's body appeared here out of thin air, and all the books that were originally there were pushed to the sides, as if the monster was inexplicably forced here.

"Varied--"

Clara's eyes widened, somewhat unable to comprehend the scene before her.

The monster's tentacles swept over and hit Clara with a bang, causing the girl to fly backwards with a scream of pain.

Crack, the space shattered again, Clara flew out of the dimensional mirror, returned to the library in the real space, and fell headfirst to the ground.

"Why... isn't it invisible?"

There was a cut on Clara's forehead, and she pressed it with the base of her palm to prevent the blood from flowing everywhere.

Although it hurt, Clara did not show any expression of pain.

"There is a time difference in movement... but it is not invisible." Clara frowned and a bold guess came to her mind: "There is a time difference... there is no moving path... the cut part also disappeared, could it be that-"

boom--

The monster jumped in front of her again, and its huge body fell to the ground, causing the floor to shake.

"I understand……"

Clara glanced at the monster, and there was a shadow in her wine-red eyes.

She said nothing and moved forward quickly.

The magic levitation cloak assisted her, allowing her to fly at low altitude and quickly change positions.

The tentacle monster was chasing her relentlessly. Clara looked back and then quickly slipped into the temple's built-in portal.

She brought the monster to another world, where she would have the scenes she needed.

"The playground in Abydos should go this way—"

Clara was floating among a group of skyscrapers at the moment. After observing the terrain briefly, she quickly flew to the right.

The tentacle monster grabbed the glass of the building with its hands and smashed it to create a broken passage.

Fortunately, it was late at night in Kivotos, so there were no passers-by to witness this scene.

Under the moonlight, Clara quickly reached her destination relying on her memory.

She turned around and took advantage of the tentacle monster landing on the playground of Abydos Academy like her, and flew with her along the straight track of the runway.

One second, two seconds, three seconds——

Clara counted silently in her heart.

At the third second, the monster just crossed the entire straight line.

She immediately stopped moving, turned around again, and stabbed the monster's eyes with the space blade.

whoosh-

After the monster disappeared, Clara opened a portal and quickly slipped to the other side of the runway.

"Teacher An Yi brought me to participate in a sports meet called the Light Wheel Festival two years ago. It was on the playground in Abydos. I remember clearly that one straight track was 84.39 meters."

Clara said to herself.

"It took the monster three seconds to run the entire straight line. If it appears behind me again, it will take one, two, three--"

With a swish, the monster appeared behind her.

"really."

Clara raised the corners of her mouth.

It turns out that it’s not invisibility, nor teleportation... but "phase shift".

It has the ability to regenerate infinitely, and once its weak point, the eye, is attacked, it will be transferred to another phase space. The phase space cannot be detected by the real world, nor can it affect the real world, so it will phase move to its side and reappear, and then find a suitable position to launch an attack directly.

Now that we understand this mechanism, it is very easy to crack it.

As long as we are in the "phase space", we can just blow its eyes out, right?

Clara cannot enter the phase space, nor can she cast magic on that dimension.

But she thought of the tentacle that disappeared after she cut it off, and an idea flashed through her mind.

The monster's tentacles stabbed again, but Clara did not dodge or evade. Instead, she directly drew a portal.

One side was connected to the tentacle that was stabbing him, and the other side was connected right in front of the monster's eyeball.

In this way, the monster's tentacles will hit your eyes right away.

The tentacle monster was stunned for a moment and was about to retract its strength, but Clara closed the portal one step ahead.

Its tentacles were cut off completely, becoming a part outside the body, which stabbed towards the monster's eyes by inertia.

Clara quickly rubbed out the space fragments and threw them forward, hitting the monster's eye before the tentacles hit it.

The tentacle monster's body disappeared again, and the severed tentacle was transferred to the phase space along with it.

But in that space, the broken tentacle that was transferred over pierced into its eyes due to inertia.

Clara stood on the playground with a serious look on her face.

The next second—

thump.

The monster's huge body crashed down in front of her.

But its eyeball had been pierced by its own severed tentacle, and it lay on the ground, spewing green blood, motionless.

“Huh—ah—”

Clara looked at the dead monster and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Her legs went limp and she sat down on the ground.

"Solved..."

The girl's heart was beating wildly, and only then did she realize the pain in the wounds on her body.

Blood was still dripping from her forehead, dyeing her snow-white hair red. Pain in her ribs, shoulders, calves, and other parts of her body came at once, and it was getting more and more painful.

Clara gritted her teeth and couldn't help but whimper.

"It's... not over yet..."

She struggled to get up from the ground, slowly turning her arms, trying to open a portal.

"We also need to find...Teacher An Yi..."

But at this moment, an unexpected cheer came.

"Ohhh! This is brilliant, Clara!"

"?!"

After hearing this familiar voice, the girl raised her head sharply and looked towards the stands next to the playground.

"An, An, An..." Clara's voice was a little stammering.

"Teacher An Yi!"

The teacher that she was so worried about was now leaning on the railing, holding a chocolate bar in his mouth, and waving at her with a smile.

"This is beyond my expectation, Clara!" An Yi climbed over the railing and slowly walked towards Clara: "You passed the exam, congratulations, Clara."

“Congratulations…”

Clara lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and her voice trembled a little.

"Teacher... Teacher... So... So you're not injured?"

"Hmm? Ah, of course." An Yi waved his hand. He couldn't see Clara's expression. "How could a monster of this level possibly hurt me? It's better to say that I arranged this."

"..."

Clara didn't say anything. The next second, she rushed to An Yi and bumped into his chest, knocking him backwards and falling to the ground.

"Uh..." An Yi looked at the starry sky, feeling the girl's body on his chest: "This time I got hurt."

An Yi sighed and was about to get up, but he heard the girl on his chest crying.

"……Um."

An Yi's eyes suddenly softened. He simply gave up the idea of ​​standing up and lay down on the playground, allowing the girl to hug him.
