Taming The Villainesses novel Chapter 316

(EP-316.2) Destined Rivals #2

316 – The Twins Are Destined Rivals #2

Narmi once again took the lead, seeming to enjoy the thrill of danger. She pressed her body against the wall, skillfully slipping into the passage. Soon, her voice echoed from inside.

“It seems safe to come in!”

“Alright, I’m going.”

I moved forward and squeezed through as well. When I finally crawled out of the narrow passage, what I saw was crystals sparkling all around.

And my face, reflected in their angular surfaces, looked strangely distorted.

It was kind of creepy, to be honest...

“This way!”

Ahead, I could see Narmi waving to me. I took a step to follow her when—

Kwang-.

“Euk!”

Something suddenly struck my nose, halting me in my tracks. I realized the ‘path’ I saw ahead was actually a reflection on the crystal surface.

“Theo, over here!”

“No, this way! Come here!”

“Don’t listen to them! This way!”

“What are you copying me? I’m the real one!”

What was this?

Reflections of Narmi appeared all around, with each one saying different things.

Completely confused, I tried to turn back, but the surroundings were filled with crystals. I couldn’t tell where the way back was.

I was trapped in this strange crystal cave!

Of course, it shouldn’t be a big problem.

“Lady Narmi, be careful—shards may fly.”

With a simple spell, I could easily shatter these °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° crystals.

Rank 3.

—Rupture.

I sent vibrations through the crystal. Shattering sounds echoed as cracks webbed through. Soon, the various Narmis making a lot of noise disappeared along with the fragments.

Once everything had settled, I noticed Narmi lying on the ground. Had she been caught in the shards? Feeling a chill run down my spine, I rushed over and tapped her cheeks.

“Lady, are you alright?”

“Ugh, what is this...?”

“Ugh, what is this...?”

Then—

In a corner a few steps away, someone else started to get up.

I felt dizzy when I saw it. There were two people with the same face and even similar clothes!

They finally faced each other and turned pale with shock.

“Y-you’re—!”

“Y-you’re—!”

What was going on? This surreal sight was making me feel dizzy, as though I were dreaming. However, they seemed to grasp the situation faster than I did.

“You, are you Narmi?!”

“...Are you... Unnie?!”
