Chapter 283: Mirror Image
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Fla Being divided into two figures, each standing in front of rlin and Wizard Bayton respectively.
“Actually, Master is still very benevolent. For each obstacle, you’re given three chances to attempt. If you feel that you’re beaten or you admit defeat, then you’ll not be in danger.”
The Fla Being said slowly.
“There’s such a rule?”
rlin thought of it carefully. Indeed, if there were three chances and one was allowed to admit defeat at any ti, the Fla Being’s master was indeed considered “benevolent”. Back when rlin entered the ancient tower monunt, if he was defeated when facing the guard, he would die. There were no three chances at all.
“If we fail to clear the obstacle after three tries, what’ll happen?”
“After failing thrice, if you survive the gate guardian’s attack, you’ll be thrown into the Fla Prison... Maybe there’s still a chance to live in the Fla Prison, but I advise you not to have such a thought. The torture in the Fla Prison, hehe, is not sothing you can imagine. Every Spell Caster who held the good-fortune ntality upon entering the Fla Prison ended remorseful eventually. They would rather die in the hands of the gate guardian.”
This was already the second ti rlin had heard the Fla Being ntion “Fla Prison”. It was certainly not a good place. Since it was a prison, there would only be inhumane torture.
After clarifying his doubts, rlin took a deep breath and said to Wizard Bayton, “Wizard Bayton, which one of us is going first?”
Wizard Bayton smiled and said, “My powers are not as strong as yours, so let go first. You should take a good look at this first obstacle, see what’s so powerful about it.”
After his statent, Wizard Bayton took a step forward and said to the Fla Being, “Co on, I’ll go first!”
The Fla Being nodded and said, “There’s one more thing I want to remind you. If you’ve not constructed Fire-type spells even if you’ve cleared all three obstacles, you will not be able to choose the most prized treasure left by the Master. You’d only be able to choose from so lower grade treasures.”
rlin nodded thoughtfully. In fact, he had already guessed the reason. The Fla Being’s master must be a Spell Caster with very prestigious achievents in Fire-type spells. The most precious treasure left by him will naturally only be obtained by Fire-type Wizards.
However, both rlin and Wizard Bayton had constructed Fire-type spells. If they were lucky enough to clear all three obstacles, they would obtain the most precious treasures in the ancient monunt.
After the Fla Being finished speaking, he waved his hand slightly. Suddenly, the figure of the Fla Being in front of Wizard Bayton began to twist and change gradually.
In the end, the Fla Being had surprisingly transford into a mirror image of Wizard Bayton, but his expression was a little cold.
“This...”
Both rlin and Wizard Bayton were astonished. The “Wizard Bayton” opposite of them, who had transford from the Fla Being, even had the sa body scent as the original.
The other Fla Being said quietly, “This is your first obstacle – mirror image opponents! This is to simulate your own real strength, but in terms of spell control, it has almost reached the peak. No matter what thods you use, you must defeat your mirror image! May I remind you that it’s best not to use casting tools because whatever casting tool you have, your mirror image will also have the sa. Ok, let’s get started!”
As the voice of the Fla Being fell, suddenly, the mirror image opposite to him made its first move, casting a flying spell. Its speed was upped significantly and it hastily dashed toward Wizard Bayton.
At the sa ti, a sky full of flas descended from above. This was a Fourth-level spell, which directly sward on Wizard Bayton while the real Wizard Bayton was rely casting a defensive spell.
“Such stunning speed. The control of the spells has almost reached the peak, and the coordination between each spell and even the position is well calculated. This... This can’t be beaten. Wizard Bayton is in danger!”
rlin saw the mirror image opponent of Wizard Bayton – its ever-changing figure, and almost oppressing Wizard Bayton all the ti, thus rlin knew that Wizard Bayton could not clear the first obstacle.
“Ka-chak!”
In the face of the mirror image opponent’s violent attack, there was almost no gap for a respite. Like a violent storm, Wizard Bayton defense spells finally could not hold its attack off, and instantly shattered.
At this ti, Wizard Bayton could no longer resist, and he had to shout frantically, “Surrender, I admit defeat!”
Following Wizard Bayton’s voluntary surrender, his mirror image opponent instantly turned into a blaze of fla and re-entered the Fla Being’s body.
“Too weak, too damn weak. Although you still have two chances, it’s basically impossible to get through the first obstacle.”
The Fla Being saw Wizard Bayton’s performance and shook his head in disappointnt.
Wizard Bayton was indeed very powerful. However, in the face of a Wizard who was almost exactly like him, and who possessed much higher skill than him in terms of spell manipulation and various combat thods, Wizard Bayton’s defeat was reasonable.
Even rlin who had been watching the entire battle unfold felt his heart shudder. If his image was also like that, then he would surely not clear the first obstacle too.
“Alright, it’s your turn!”
The Fla Being’s gaze shifted to rlin.
rlin took a deep breath, there was no escape to this kind of battle. Success or failure would only be known after the battle.
Thus, rlin walked a few steps forward and said, “Let’s get started!”
The Fla Being nodded. A fla quickly flew out from his body. Then, rlin felt an irresistible invisible force as if his entire body was probed all over.
Thereafter, the fla that had floated from the Fla Being’s body began to take on a form gradually, faintly changing into rlin’s appearance. Having seen the mirror image of Wizard Bayton earlier, rlin was no longer surprised, but to look at a person who was exactly the sa as him – it was still a strange feeling.
“Oh? Not right, hold on!”
Suddenly, there was a gasp from the Fla Being’s voice. It turned out that the fla was actually changing dramatically, but it could never change into the appearance of rlin.
The Fla Being’s eyes stared at rlin for a mont, then he smiled and said, “Turns out that you’re powerful though you’re rely a First-level Spell Caster. At best, you’ve only constructed two Second-level spells, yet you have two Pandora Demon Abilities, and even a Six-Elental Spell Caster! Not only that, your body seems to be far stronger than any average Spell Caster, almost comparable to so powerful elental swordsn. It’s no surprise that your mirror image expends so much Magic Power...”
After the Fla Being had finished, he then separated another part of the fla from the body and incorporated it into the mirror image of rlin. With the integration of this fla, rlin’s mirror image quickly took shape, and it beca exactly the sa as rlin, even with the sa breath...
rlin’s eyes narrowed slightly, and deep down, he was secretly surprised. With only one glance at him, the Fla Being could understand his situation so thoroughly.
The two kinds of Pandora Demon Abilities naturally referred to Fiery Collapse and Glacial Finger, and a strong physique, which was one of rlin’s most well-hidden secrets was thoroughly exposed by the Fla Being.
However, there were still several aspects that the fla being did not see through. In addition to Fiery Collapse and Glacial Finger, rlin had another Pandora Demon Ability – Darkness Heart, which had been integrated into his spells.
Darkness Heart was dissimilar to Fiery Collapse and Glacial Finger. It had been completely integrated into the spells, so it seed hidden. Earlier, the Fla Being only ntioned Fiery Collapse and Glacial Finger, which ant it was very likely he had not realized rlin’s Darkness Heart.
As for the mirror image opposite him, it may have also copied Fiery Collapse and Glacial Finger, but whether or not Darkness Heart had been mirrored, rlin would need to find out.
“Let’s begin!”
The Fla Being waved, and rlin’s mirror image imdiately cast Wind of Freedom, and his figure imdiately beca erratic.
“Ka-chak!”
anwhile, rlin’s first move was to cast Glacial Finger, but it missed because it could not capture the figure of the mirror image. Then, when rlin was just about to cast Fiery Collapse, he sensed an imminent danger...
“Wind of Freedom!”
rlin did not hesitate for a second and imdiately dodged to the side.
“Swoosh!”
A chill, like a sharp arrow, flew straight at rlin, which made him break into a cold sweat. His mirror image’s control of spells and Pandora Demon Abilities in addition to the coordination between both was far superior to rlin.
“No way, if it keeps on like this, I’ll lose sooner or later!”
rlin finally realized how Wizard Bayton felt earlier. Fighting with one’s own image was very arduous, with even a feeling of grievance as if one could never defeat the mirror image.
In fact, without overwhelming talent or so other slick ans, it was near impossible to beat the mirror image. This first obstacle alone had impeded who knew how many Spell Casters before them.
“Going head-on with the mirror image won’t work! However, if you want to defeat the mirror image, it’s not that there’s no chance at all. The opponent has Fiery Collapse and Glacial Finger with Mind Power equivalent to mine, a Third-level Mind Power. One thing is within my expectation, the opponent indeed doesn’t have Darkness Heart!”
rlin had now confird that the mirror image did not have Darkness Heart. Nobody knew why but this was the only chance for rlin.
If he desired to fight head-on with the mirror image, rlin had not yet reached the point of seamless manipulation of spells without any mistakes. However, his mirror image seed capable of not producing any mistakes, so rlin simply had no chance of winning if he went head-on.
Only by luck or by “seizing opportunities” could he defeat the mirror image!
“Darkness Tide!”
rlin stopped evading the mirror image’s attack, and then cast the Second-level spell, Darkness Tide.
Suddenly, darkness descended and enveloped the entire room – the bright room imdiately beca pitch-dark. After being enhanced by Darkness Heart, it was easy for rlin’s Darkness Tide to drag any Fourth-level Spell Caster into a realm of illusion.
rlin’s mirror image only had Third-level Mind Power. The opponent had not duplicated Darkness Heart, hence it did not have any resistance to Darkness-type spells.
Therefore, when a space of Darkness-type elents enveloped the room, rlin’s mirror image naturally fell into the illusion.
“Pandora Demon Ability, Glacial Finger!”
In the darkness, rlin’s voice was heard, and in an instant, rlin’s mirror image was imdiately frozen. Layers of ice crystals wrapped rlin’s mirror image.
“Ka-chak!”
The ice crystals began to shatter, and rlin’s mirror image was reduced to countless pieces, falling onto the ground. Then glints of star-shaped flas appeared on the ground, which gathered together and floated back into the Fla Being’s body.
“Congratulations, you’ve cleared the first obstacle!”
The Fla Being’s voice was calm, but his eyes were ablaze and focused intently on rlin.
