Reincarnation of the Strongest Healer

Chapter 1028: Illusory Figure

Although Natasha remained skeptical of Kailey’s explanation that the chamber Xu Feng entered was one of the lowest calibered, she decided to stay quiet.

She would personally watch how Xu Feng would come out after 30 minutes.

However, when she thought about how she had to wait 30 minutes, her expression soon frowned.

’Am I really going to just sit and wait for that long?’ She cursed silently. Her time was very valuable, and wasting so much of it was like having a constant needle pricking at her skin.

After a few minutes, her frustration reached its peak and she couldn’t endure it any longer.

”Where’s the higher calibered chamber? I want to use it.” She turned to Kailey and demanded.

Kailey’s eyes lit up when she heard her request.

”Right away,” she clasped her hands and guided Natasha to another chamber.

As Natasha inspected the chamber, almost everything was the same except for a few description changes and the charging fee being 5 silver coins. ’That damn Nathan is really a bane of my existence.’

Sometime later, Natasha suppressed her bitterness and paid the 5 silver coins to activate the chamber.

”I can enter now, right?” Natasha questioned somewhat sarcastically.

Having paid for so many of these microtransactions, she was starting to become traumatized. Moreover, she was dumbfounded by how the other regular players would ever get the opportunity to use their facility.

Even she was nearly rendered into shedding tears for having to pay so much.

”Of course, you can.” Kailey gestured her hand to indicate she was free to enter whenever she wanted.

Seeing her action, Natasha didn’t waste any more of her breath and entered the chamber.

System: You have entered the Illusory Sparring Chamber! Do you wish to set the level of opponent you want to fight or do you wish for the system to optimize the most suitable opponent for you?

Upon entering, she was quickly greeted by a system prompt. The experience was similar to when she first started the Divine World and was required to create a character.

Without hesitation, Natasha opted for the second option.

”Optimize the most suitable opponent for me. I just want to see how this small chamber can improve my combat experience.” She sneered coldly.

Soon, she was transported to an open field. A few seconds later, an illusory opponent appeared which was identical to her level.

”Just this?” She raised an eyebrow and felt like she had been cheated.

She was disappointed until the illusionary figure began multicasting without any signal.

”The hell?” Startled, Natasha swiftly reacted and attempted to teleport away from the danger.

As her silhouette teleported and vanished from her initial spot, she planned on using Flight to go airborne and get a height advantage.

However, she could have never imagined what awaited her in the sky was the precise multicast spells that she planned to avoid.

”Eh?”

KABOOM!

Natasha’s health points were instantly wiped away from existence. By the time she regained her senses, Natasha realized she was back to the starting position and the same illusory figure was being generated.

Unlike the first time, her vigilance was raised and she became alerted that this wasn’t the regular training she had experience with.

’Interesting. Is this what they meant to increase combat experience?’ Natasha nearly wanted to laugh. If the so-called improvement was forcing them into a never-ending battle, then this would be considered the biggest failure.

Before the illusory figure was about to materialize, Natasha wanted to take the initiative and make her move. Alas, she was then greeted by a system prompt.

Initially dissatisfied with the interruption, her eyes soon widened in astonishment.

”T-This is...” Speechless, Natasha was reading the system prompt which highlighted her multiple flaws in the first battle.

There was no mincing in the analysis and she instantly felt like she was worse than amateurs.

SYSTEM COMBAT REVIEW: FIRST ATTEMPT

Predictable Movement Pattern: Attempted teleport, flight combo registered as standard escape protocol. Illusory opponent anticipated based on metadata from thousands of similar player patterns.

Poor Combat Awareness: Did not verify if enemy spells were lock-on or ground-based. Failed to account for the time delay between cast and impact.

Overconfidence Bias: Dismissed opponent level without testing response. No scout spell or aggro gauge was used.

Cooldown Mismanagement: Spammed escape tools simultaneously instead of staggering them for a layered retreat.

Reaction vs. Intention Conflict: Panic teleport is used before analyzing spell trajectories. Inconsistent with planned air advantage strategy.

Multicast Misapplication (from historical battle logs):

Often initiates with all spells at once rather than staggering for pressure.

Leaves a large mana window post-cast with no utility defense.

No fallback contingency if opponents block the initial burst.

Natasha’s mouth twitched as she read the log. By the time she reached the end, her face was blank—but her mind was a furnace of disbelief.

”When did I even have any historical battle log?” She frowned and wondered if the system was identifying the wrong person. But in the next instance, she discarded the thought because she realized where the system obtained the battle log record.

’That arena stage fight!’ She cried inwardly. The only time that a historical battle log was registered and indicated her multicast misapplication was when she fought against Nathan.

Her face turned ashen white and she found herself to be petrified on the spot. With all this data gathered unbeknownst to her until now, who knows how much information the Vanguard Guild had collected?

What made it terrifying was that despite knowing her data was being taken, she actually desired to continue and wondered how she could fix the flaws.

”Since the system shows me the flaws, does it have any solution?” Natasha asked the system prompt.

She was no longer worried about a sudden attack from the illusory figure because the system prompt essentially paused the scene.

Needless to say, the timer never stopped counting down and she had already used up about 10 minutes out of the 30 minutes.

While Natasha was eagerly anticipating the system prompt to generate the answer for her, outside the chamber, Kailey smiled in amusement.

’Looks like we’ve caught her good.’ She thought to herself. With authority granted to her momentarily, Kailey was able to access what was happening inside the chamber and when she saw Natasha’s reaction, she knew their plan had succeeded.
