Clang! Clang!

Clang! Clang!

Shin is currently engaging in an intense battle against a humanoid creature that looks very much like him. Eh!? No, this humanoid creature not only have the same figure and appearance as him, it also have all of his skills, including the Skills of the [Yamato] and [Nephilimʼs Gemini Mask].

And not only that, this creature even managed to mimic Shinʼs ʼMythical Personal Traitʼ, the ʼUltra Instinctsʼ.

And this troublesome creature is also the seventh monster boss that Shin have to deal on this independent world.

The Sun and Moon Clones are also engaging into a fight with another pair of Clones. Whitie and Blackie on the other hand are already on Shinʼs pet space, since they almost died in the horde Blood Demons earlier.

Shin gathered a bunch of Mana on his eyes as he check the details of the humanoid creature on his front while also checking out his surroundings.ʼExtra Skill: True Sightʼ

”Tsk, what a troublesome creature.” curse Shin while complimenting himself a little. ʼSo this is how my enemy feels when they are fighting against me.ʼ

Shin swing the [Yamato] powerfully, making the ʼDoppelgangerʼ to throw a powerful swing of his own.

Bang!

Then the two of then were sent flying backwards because of the powerful impact.

Shin didnʼt immediately attack and just stand there while controlling his Clones to get away from their opponents, and stand beside him.

”It is too troublesome to battle you while Iʼm controlling my Clones so let us reduce the numbers a little.” said Shin while having a different thought. ʼTsk, I want to save this skill for as much as possible because I donʼt know if Iʼm going to face another monster after this one. But from the looks of it, I donʼt have much choice but to go all out.ʼ

After that, the Sun and Moon Clones suddenly merge into one creating another clone. And this one is emitting a purple Mana from its body, while its aura is also much stronger that the previous two.

ʼEquipment Skill: Spirit Fusionʼ

But Shin is not done yet, both his and the Eclipse Cloneʼs swords suddenly release a bunch of golden runes that enfold their bodies. Then their Stats suddenly become double while having a burst on their movement speed.

ʼWeapon Skill: Nephilimʼs Ascentʼ

Then Shin and the Eclipse Clone suddenly disappeared from the spot that they were standing and reappeared right in front of the Doppelganger and its Clones.

The Doppelganger tried to mimic the ʼSpirit Fusionʼ Skill, but it is already a step too late when that happens. So the Doppelganger Clones are still in the process of fusing together when Shin and the Eclipse Clone arrived in their front.

And the swords on Shin and the Eclipse Cloneʼs hands are release an opposing glow. The one in the formerʼs hands is releasing a fiery fire aura while the sword in the laterʼs hand have an ice-cold aura.Then they swing their swords successively, sending a fiery crescent sword Qi followed by a crescent chilling one.

ʼExtra Skill: Flame Burstʼ

ʼEclipse Clone Skill: Half-Moon Slashʼ

Naturally, the Doppelganger will not let itself to get hit by those attacks, same goes for its fusing Clones. It created a crimson barrier around it, protecting itself and its Clones.

ʼCopied Skill: Eclipse Pulseʼ

Bang!

Bang!

The crimson barrier trembled violently when it was hit by the successive sword Qi. And because of the special effect of the opposing elements, the surface of the barrier started to have signs of being frozen.

And that was the time when the Doppelgangerʼs Clones finally finished their fusion. Then the Doppelganger and its New Clone also use the ʼNephilimʼs Ascentʼ of their own.

Outside the barrier, the sheath on Shinʼs left hand suddenly transformed in to a straight sword that have a narrow blade and sharp edges.

ʼLegacy Skill: Mondiʼs Style: Conviction FormʼAfter that, Shinʼs left arm suddenly turned into a blur as he throw a six consecutive stabs at the barrier with the [Piercing Thorn]. Shin even skillfully control the stabs to let all six of it to land at a single spot.

ʼExtra Skill: Multiple Stabsʼ

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The first three strikes create some cracks on the surface of the barrier while the next three stabs shattered it completely.

At the same time, the Eclipse Clone throw a five consecutive slash in the air while focusing them in a single point. Then a powerful vertical sword wave flew forward when Shin destroyed the barrier.

ʼEclipse Clone Skill: Modified Crescent Cleaveʼ

Shin immediately turn his body into an illusionary form as he let the powerful vertical sword wave to passed through him and let it flew towards the Doppelganger and its Clone.

ʼSlayer Skill: Moonlight Stepsʼ

Swoosh!

The clone of the Doppelganger immediately cast another ʼEclipse Pulseʼ to block the incoming sword wave. Unfortunately, it was immediately destroyed by the sword wave without having any kind of resistance.The Doppelganger and its clone immediately activate their ʼMoonlight Stepsʼ to escape their current predicament, and dodge to different direction.

ʼHeh, donʼt underestimate my familiarity with my own skills.ʼ thought Shin as he and the Eclipse Clone ignored the opposing clone completely and chase after the Doppelganger itself.

Shin retain his illusionary form and charge towards the Doppelganger while thrusting the [Piercing Thorn] forward.

ʼCombat Technique: Second Driveʼ

ʼExtra Skill: Sword Rushʼ

Swoosh!

The Eclipse Clone on the other hand is not in a rush. It calmly put its sword in the sheath before sprinting towards the Doppelgangerʼs location.

Meanwhile, the Doppelganger calmly raise its left arm while holding the sheath of its sword in a reverse-hand grip manner, and putting it in front of the Doppelgangerʼs body.

ʼCopied Skill: Sheath Wielding: Defendʼ

Shin suddenly cancel the ʼSword Rushʼ Skill when he saw the Doppelgangerʼs actions. Then he pulled the [Piercing Thorn] backwards as he use the momentum of the dash to leap forward and spin in the air while planning to throw a powerful kick the Doppelgangerʼs head.

The Doppelgangerʼs body reacted at Shinʼs movements and move its left arm leftwards together with the sheath of its sword as it plan to block Shinʼs leg.

But Shin suddenly kick the air behind him, sending himself forward with a great speed. Then he do another kick in the air to descend at the Doppelganger as he swing the [Yamato] at the laterʼs body.

ʼLegacy Skill: Mondiʼs Jumpʼ

Pa!

Pa!

ʼCombat Technique: Second Driveʼ

ʼExtra Skill: Falling Lightbladeʼ

Swoosh!

-62 681

The Doppelganger failed to react in time because Shinʼs movements are too sudden and too fast to respond.

Bang!

The Doppelganger was smashed and bounced on the ground after getting hit by that sword strike.

Shin immediately stood up when he landed on the ground. Then he quickly turn his body around while swinging the [Yamato] at the Doppelganger in a powerful manner.

ʼExtra Skill: Destructive Slashʼ

-83 814(Stunned)

Then Shin jump backwards to put some distance away from the Doppelganger. And that is because the Eclipse Clone arrived at that time while holding its sheathed sword that is emitting with a bluish-white light.

Then the Eclipse Clone pull its sword out from its sheath before swinging it rightwards, and sending an ice-cold crescent sword Qi.

Shing!

ʼClass Fighting Style: Lunar Flashʼ

The Eclipse Cloneʼs stats are higher than Shin by 50%, and together with the ʼNephilimʼs Ascentʼ berserk skill, its current stats is twice as Shinʼs current enhance stats. So the damage that this skill delt is quite massive.

-1 341 952

Good thing for the Doppelganger that its remaining HP become doubled when it used its version of ʼNephilimʼs Ascentʼ.

Shin is about follow with another attack, but the clone of the Doppelganger finally arrived and immediately attack him.

Shin hop backwards before doing a back-flip in the air, dodging the ʼLunar Flashʼ that came from the clone of the Doppelganger.

The Eclipse Clone ignored the opposing clone and continue its assault at the Doppelganger. It swing its blazing sword leftwards, sending a crescent sword Qi that is made of fire.

ʼEclipse Clone Skill: Flame Burstʼ

Bang!

-96 883

-1 964(Burning Damage)

Boom!

-150 000(Opposing Element Explosion)

And the Doppelganger finally regain its movements. And the first it do is not to attack the Eclipse Clone but it call its own clone to come to its side instead. Then the Doppelgangerʼs Clone suddenly turned into a blood mist and fused with the Doppelganger itself.

After that, Shin saw that the HP of the Doppelganger gone back to full while its other Stats increase once again.Shin activate his ʼTrue Sightʼ skill to double check if what he saw is right and real.

Monster Name: Crimson Doppelganger

Monster Rating: Blood Demon

Level: 100

HP: 16 000 000/16 000 000

Attack Power: 10 000 - 12 000

Basic Defense: 20 000

------------------

Then Shin started cursing loudly. ”Are you F*cking kidding me!? Do you have any idea how much time and effort did I spent just to cut down the HP of this annoying creature into half earlier? And now it gone back to full. Whatʼs more it even become quadruple of the original HP?”

”And I donʼt remember that the ʼSpirit Possessionʼ Skill have this kind of regenerative effect.”

The Doppelganger look at Shin with a mocking face as if it is provoking him.

The corner of Shinʼs mouth suddenly twitch when he saw that. He take a quick glance at the Eclipse Clone before looking at its remaining time. ”I canʼt give up the damage that can cause by the Eclipse Clone yet. And I still have 27 minutes at most to maximize it.”

”Alright, letʼs do this for now.” muttered Shin as he put the [Yamato] on its sheath. And the Eclipse Clone did the same thing. Then Shin turn his head at the Doppelganger with determined face before sprinting forward.

The Doppelganger throw five consecutive slashes in the air, sending five vertical sword waves and Shin and the Eclipse Cloneʼs direction.

Shin and his clone transformed into a stick of bluish-white light as they charge forward and pass through the vertical sword waves.

ʼSlayer Skill: Moonlight Stepsʼ

ʼEclipse Clone Skill: Moonlight Stepsʼ

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Doppelganger transform into a crimson stick of light as it move backwards, trying to put some distance away from Shin and his clone.

ʼCopied Skill: Moonlight Stepsʼ

Then Shin and Eclipse Clone in their stick of light from suddenly accelerated forward as they chase after the Doppelganger. And when the catch up with the later, both of them pull their swords out from their sheaths before swinging it at the Doppelganger.

ʼCombat Technique: Second Driveʼ

Swoosh! Swoosh!

ʼClass Fighting Style: Moonlight Splitterʼ

Shing! Shing!

The Doppelganger use the sheath of its sword to block one of the attack, while it throw a powerful slash with its sword at the other attack.

ʼCopied Skill: Sheath Wielding: Defendʼ

ʼCopied Skill: Destructive Slashʼ

Cling!

Clang!

The Doppelganger have much higher Stats than Shin and his cloneʼs Stats so it didnʼt lose much even if its skill is much weaker than the later twoʼs skills.

Then they immediately started having a melee exchange. For Shin, throwing a barrage of basic attacks are a lot better than using some skills in this kind of close distance battle. And together with the help of the Eclipse Clone, they are starting to deal some damage.

Even though their damage are quite low at first, the force that Shin and his clone accumulated through the exchange are starting to pile up, making their basic attacks to become more powerful and deal more damage.

ʼCombat Technique: Yin-Yang Twistʼ

Clang! Clang!

Clang! Clang!

And through this, Shin finally confirmed something. ”So this Doppelganger canʼt use any kind of Combat Techniques.”

The Doppelganger tried to break free from its current predicament when it started to feel the pressure from Shin and his cloneʼs assault.

Unfortunately for it, Shin and the Eclipse Clone are always sticking closely to it no matter how hard it try to escape. And how can Shin let that happen if he finally discovered his opponentʼs weakness.

And even if the Doppelganger is stronger than Shin and his clone in terms of basic stats, the later two are overcoming the gap by perfectly utilizing all of the Combat Techniques on Shinʼs arsenal.

Most of the time, Shin is purposely taking the damage from the Doppelganger that should be directed to the Eclipse Clone. It is because he want to save the HP of his clone for as much as possible. And he can also use some HP Potion in the battle after all, so sacrificing some HP is no big deal at all.

And he is also planning to end his battle for as fast as he can, and that is before the duration of the ʼNephilimʼs Ascentʼ come to an end.

Twenty minutes later, Shin and his clone managed to reduce the HP of the Doppelganger to 40% of its total. And that is the time, for Shin to enter the next phase

.He purposely let the Doppelganger get away from him and his cloneʼs assault. Then the Eclipse Clone suddenly transformed into a particles of light and entered Shinʼs body. After that, Shinʼs stats suddenly become doubled once again, and together with it is another boost on his movement speed.

ʼEquipment Skill: Spirit Possessionʼ

Shin take a deep breath as he take a quick glance at the remaining duration of the ʼNephilimʼs Ascentʼ. Then he look at the Doppelganger with determined face and said. ”Seven minutes, Iʼm going to beat you into a pulp within seven minutes, and before my double berserk skill buff come to an end.”
