Chapter 318: A Fight That Didn’t Make Sense (1/2)

‘*cough* Shadow Clone? You mean my Shadow Demon? That was just ripped to shreds by that giant fish, can it even still be summoned?’

“Shadow Clones are just clones made from mana. As long as you survive the backlash and you still have enough mana, summoning it again shouldn’t be a problem. Dear little brother of mine, you know you could’ve just summoned another one right away, although that would have probably been painful.”

‘Oh, is that so?’

I tried summoning another one and it actually worked…

As I looked at the Shadow Clone before me, I could no longer contain the swelling excitement within me.

‘I DID IT…if that’s the case, I can just keep summoning it as a pin cushion for any incoming attacks. Also, since it’s about as strong as I am, I can just send it off without any worry…safe, stressless and, more importantly, danger-free…mhm, important things should be repeated.’

‘It’s almost like a game where I can have multiple lives!’

“Don’t get all worked up so easily now, how about having that clone of yours go fight the sprite first.”

As she suggested, I had my new Shadow Clone fly off to the other sprite who was still battling with Sinmosa and the others.

Sinmosa and Sasani both gave their new reinforcement a quick look before turning back to the sprite without saying a word.

“Use your Nether Flames.”

‘Huh?’

“Use your Nether Flames.” She repeated once more.

‘My Nether Flames? Did I hear you right there? What do you mean by use my Nether Flames? My Shadow Demon isn’t able to use magic just like that. And even if I could, will my clone just catch on fire?’ In spite of my apprehension however, I did as she said.

While this freeloader had a rather devious personality, she was a Devil King after; her words held a certain degree of weight. For the most part, I should probably listen to her commands…as long as they weren’t too outlandish…

No longer hesitating, I channelled my mana into a coat of Nether Flames. It was then that something miraculous happened. Just as my spell finished, the Shadow Demon, which was over 10 meters away by now, suddenly caught on fire as well… ‘Is that Nether Flame?!’

My eyes went wide with disbelief. Yet I didn’t have much time to stand there in a daze for long. Soon after that thought crossed my mind, I felt my mana reserves plummet with unprecedented speed. If I had to describe the sensation, it was like my Nether Flames suddenly started using up twice as much mana as before…

Ignoring my confusion, Ferti’nier continued with her promised lessons: “Try tossing out a Fireball while controlling your Shadow Demon.”

I nodded my head in response. Raising my right hand, I faced my palm towards that sprite and began channelling as she said. At the same time, my Shadow Demon raised its right hand as well, facing it in the same direction as I did. Within its palm was the same Nether Flame that was coalescing in my own.
