Chapter 142
“… … You said you weren’t lying.”
Obviously, the movement of the duplicator has changed.
After repelling Emily’s attack with the same technique, he shows off his skills in earnest as if he were revealing his true colors.
“Yes, this is the true color of this test.”
I glanced up at the demon who was watching this situation from up there and sneered.
So that’s what it means.
‘Yes, it must be like this.’
The difficulty of the Trial of Five Colors quest is on the difficult side compared to other appropriate level quests.
It’s different from simply thinking that the level is high because the mob is strong.
‘It feels like it’s pure hard work!’
Since the specifications of the duplicator are based on the player’s ability, the difficulty does not change no matter how hard you work.
In short, the feeling that what is difficult now is also difficult then!
‘Therefore, there is a possibility of breaking now. It’s not easy.’
The pattern of the duplicator changes.
What seemed bland at first was mere deception.
For a moment, the pressure of the demonic energy rose, and then the finished black magic poured into me at high speed.
“It’s a bit, but it’s faster than me.”
Magi’s control is accurate. Casting without superfluity like a machine literally, not controlled with senses like me.
Judging that fighting head-on was stupid, I immediately tried to escape from the black magic bombardment by using the shadow move.
“… … Chit.”
Surrounded by shadows, I clicked my tongue as I escaped the bombardment.
Shadows that do not belong to me intertwine as if blocking the point I am heading towards.
same magic.
Noticing where I am trying to escape, the duplicant also uses the same movement technique to block my path.
“Yeah, are you trying to do it right?”
The moment I get out of the shadows, a duplicate that looks just like me pops out right away.
“Emily, give me some space.”
As ordered, Emily stands in front of me and engages in close combat with the Duplicant.
Emily’s demonic energy and pouring attacks are blocked by the duplicating body as well, in a way that embodies it by spreading the demonic energy.
“… … Shall we take a chance?”
Pull out the dagger from the waistband.
Dagger of the Black Serpent.
A sidearm for close combat and a throwing weapon designed to outmaneuver at medium range.
When the dagger is thrown, it is forced out into an apparently strange trajectory.
A tracking effect attached to the dagger.
“Even though the specs are the same, he doesn’t have any equipment items.”
This method will not be easily imitated.
A dagger that flies precisely towards the Duplicant’s neck.
The timing was perfect.
“… … .”
But the duplicator doesn’t even look this way. Not even moving your hand.
What moved instead was an arm of mud rising from under his feet.
Hands of black clay.
The black magic for holding accurately catches the flying dagger and throws it away.
“… … Control crazy.”
It is not usually a difficult feat to snatch an object that is flying at high speed, not even with one’s arms, by making full use of magic.
To be honest, a feat that I’m not sure even the current country will succeed easily.
“To be honest, isn’t he more compatible than me?”
As a real Xian, I lost my face.
This is the true meaning of this ordeal.
go beyond yourself
However, the wall is not the same height as yourself.
In fact, it means that you have the same ability as yourself, but feel and go beyond the more completed area.
“On the other hand… … That means I’m not really showing the realm of the impossible.”
If he reproduces Emily’s tricks, that means, in theory, that I, the contractor, will be able to realize some of them as well.
“If you drag it too long, it will be annoying. Let’s just push through.”
As I quickly thought about a countermeasure, I heard Emily’s warning, which was wasting time against the Duplicant.
“Sian, avoid. that… … It sounds like you’re trying to do something annoying.”
“uh?”
In response to the warning, it reflexively moves its body.
I could honestly say that it was fortunate that I accepted the risk and avoided it first.
At first, I wanted to use offensive black magic.
However, what flew in was neither the black salt nor the baptism of golchang.
like a black mist.
Duplicant’s magic.
“Simply stretching out demonic energy?”
I didn’t understand for a moment.
There is a means of attack using pure magical power.
But originally, the principle of generating a shock wave by exploding the condensed mana with high pressure.
By simply spreading the mana widely, there shouldn’t be any damage to me who has already adapted to the demonic energy.
But Emily warned me it was dangerous.
I understand its meaning now.
“what… … .”
By analogy, Magi stretched out was like a net thrown.
The moment it grabs the space within a certain range.
Shuuu
What I heard was a strange sound.
At that moment, the scattered demonic energy is reaped. like pulling a net.
“… … Energy drain?”
Only then did he understand the identity of the means used by the duplicant.
Spreads the demonic energy widely and traps it within a certain range, and activates an energy drain to suck it in as a whole.
Forced takeover of the magical element.
‘Certainly, the closer the energy drain is, the closer… … Specifically, direct contact is a skill that is highly effective.’
It is replaced by contact by scattering demonic energy.
The sound I heard earlier was probably caused by the air pressure difference created by forcibly sucking in the mana in the air.
“If I had been absent-mindedly, I would have lost my mana.”
From noble mtl dot com
The annoying thing is that he tries to recover mana from the air in this way.
In other words, if I go to a long-term battle, I’m the only one who gets tired.
“I wonder if Xian will be able to do something like that someday.”
“… … Even so, I didn’t want to know it this way.”
As for the energy drain itself, I can learn it if I put my mind to it.
I just didn’t write because it didn’t make sense for me to leave Emily alone.
“I guess I could use it for an attack like this.”
“Sian, isn’t this the time to admire? It keeps coming, so be careful.”
Are you trying to use an energy drain again?
The moment I wondered, a slightly different phenomenon occurred around me this time.
Magi floats around like small clouds.
“ah… … .”
Wanting to be surrounded, I unfolded the magic flag and wrapped it around.
Casting time would probably not be right for movement skills.
As it is, black flame adheres to the enveloping demon, and then ignites and explodes.
Quaang!
As I managed to block the heat and shock waves and jump back to get out of there, I thought of the talent he showed me a moment ago.
“Sprinkle the manipulable demonic energy around them and attack them by generating flames right there.”
Wizards are a kind of sacks.
If you measure the guy’s location and distance, you can tell that most of the magic is flying, so if it’s a one-on-one firefight, pay attention to predicting the trajectory.
However, it is difficult to respond if you scatter demonic energy first without noticing it and explode it at that point.
“Who the hell does he look like, he says he rolls his hair like that.”
“Sian, you’re fake.”
You look like me!
Convinced!
“Then I guess we should show our true dignity.”
Conclusion that it is disadvantageous to drag on for a long time.
I have to push him somehow to see the end.
It’s difficult to settle a decision simply by exchanging magic.
“It literally means that we have to surpass that fake capability right here and now.”
I mean, it’s easy.
But as I ponder, my lips twitch.
I know I’m struggling a little differently than at other times, but I’m not particularly nervous.
Rather, I feel like I’m going to have a good time.
‘That’s the optimal combat power that I can show based on my own abilities… … .’
I mean I’m that strong.
You can become stronger without being complacent in the current state.
It’s not a fight, it’s a class.
“It’s good to have fun, but Xian, wouldn’t it be dangerous as it is?”
“I guess so.”
“Will this older sister decide to fight?”
Right now, Emily is fighting a close fight while keeping the Duplicants in check.
He is saying that if he engages in a scuffle with the intention of achieving friendship, he may end up doing something.
“No, what use is it if you, the familiar, overwhelm me? It’s okay, keep making gaps like that.”
All you need is time to think.
A bit of time to come up with an answer by referring to the sample in front of you.
“I got a rough estimate.”
The hand holding the cane is itching.
I was impatient because I wanted to use the talent I had conceived for a long time.
I am also a very incompetent person.
“good. We’ll settle down soon, so Emily, get his attention properly.”
“I waited.”
When the approval to push comes down, Emily smiles as if she’s been waiting.
“Then this older sister should save face a little too, right?”
Is it the same with her, who believes that she cannot maintain her spiritual face as a familiar if she struggles?
“Hmm? Can you show the same talent as this older sister? Then why don’t you show me?”
Emily releases her demonic energy in earnest and manipulates it to capture the Duplicant.
Magi stretched out like countless arms in the air, trying to catch the duplicate.
The duplicant also uses the same trick to counter it.
A workshop in which a large amount of demonic energy is tangled like a thread and exchanged.
“It was a mistake.”
Emily smiled as if she had been waiting. Let her shake her hand.
A large amount of demonic energy that had been entangled as it was was completely poured towards the duplicator.
Not only Emily’s, but also the Magi that the Duplicants dealt with.
“What did you do?”
“What the fake Xian showed me. Will this sister show me the right way?”
energy drain.
He declared that he would show the dignity of aid.
“It’s a very bad choice to start a fight with this older sister with her talent for dealing with pure demons.”
While exchanging attacks and defenses, apply Energy Drain to take it away.
“The true value of Drain is not to take away, but to dominate.”
It was returned after the robbery was finished so that they would not be noticed.
In this way, the duplicate was captured as it was, with the demonic energy it released deprived.
“Now, it’s Xi’an’s turn.”
“know.”
Emily reversed it, but it was just a waste of time.
I’m sure he’ll get away with the same number.
“Then I’ll try a little trick.”
The method learned as a reference in this test.
It doesn’t seem like a good place to practice.
Aim the staff and aim at the duplicator. Of course, he’s still tied up, but he’ll probably use magic to defend himself.
“Would you block it well?”
Casting is the Bone Spear.
At the same time, he also deploys his mud arms to grab the goal with his black mud hands.
“It’s no use.”
can’t stop
I was sure of that and I laughed.
The moment I gave the command to eject the spear I saw after the magic chant was finished.
Fu-wook!
The shot of the goal was properly hit the target.
Not from the front, but from the back of the duplicator.
“I showed you how to cast magic from a distance a while ago, so it was helpful. FALSE.”
The tactic he showed me earlier.
It is an application of extending demonic energy and setting it on fire to explode it.
The starting point of magic is originally the center of oneself.
To be precise, magic happens where one’s mana is condensed.
“If you think differently, if you pour your own magical energy and build another trigger point, it will be activated from a distance.”
It is different from enchantment casting.
It is impossible to engrave high-difficulty magic because it stores magic formulas in objects and writes them.
This method is no different from extending your arms, so you can aim wherever your demonic energy extends.
“It could be something like this.”
It was successful, so I got a sense.
When I hit the floor with the tip of the staff, the magical power leaked from the staff spread like a spider’s web.
Envelops Duplicants in all directions.
“good.”
A magic circle unfolds from the net of my demonic energy, which spreads in all directions, and black lightning pours down.
All-round attack.
The aftermath of magic pouring in from all directions swallows the Duplicant intact.
“Finish… … I’ll push it forward and build it!”
Aim your staff at the bomb-ravaged Duplicant.
Not only with talent, but in the end, you have to confidently overwhelm with force.
The black flame poured out to finish it sweeps away the duplicator and incinerates it without leaving a trace.
‘It’s embarrassing to get rid of a guy who looks just like me, but it’s okay.’
it’s fake anyway
After my fake completely disappeared without leaving a trace.
Convinced that the test was over, I removed my staff and looked up and winked.
“Should I continue?”
“It was done. Young black magician.”
The demon in charge of the test comes down again and announces the end of the test.
“Confirmed proof of competency.”
and admit acceptance.
《The Trial of Black has been cleared.》
《The first clear reward will be given.》
《Black Magic – Acquire the Black Token.》
As soon as I acknowledged the clearing, the devil pointed at me, and a strange magic power filled me.
It would have given evidence of recognition.
To be precise, what the man called the Black Founder entrusted.
“The proof was engraved.”
“Yeah, I definitely got it.”
“draft”

Overall stats increased.
especially mana.
The quantity and quality of magical power, which is most important to magicians, has clearly risen.
‘With this, I can take another step ahead of my peers.’
Above all, preparation for tomorrow will be perfect with this.
