Chapter 110

Mental Projection

The black blade formed from the energy of three Dhara Asura struck the robed man! The Vajra Asura smiled underneath his mask. It seems as though the robed man was not as powerful as he thought. Suddenly his face froze. ‘No. No! NO! IT CAN’T BE!’

The black blade hit the robed man in the chest. However, strangely enough, the energy blade pa.s.sed through his chest and continued on, slicing through the forest like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter. The blade cut through close to a hundred trees before it dissipated from lack of mana.

Gu Lan did not look so good. His face was pale underneath his mask, sweat dripping down his neck. The robed man glanced up. When he did, the Vajra Asura recoiled. “I warned you.” came the chilling voice of the black robed man.

The robed man flicked his wrist. Immediately three booms rang out and the three Dhara Asura that attacked him dissolved into mists of blood. A hole appeared in the ground below where their bodies stood. Rock shards flew through the air, bouncing off of the Asura members mana s.h.i.+elds.

Gu Lan stumbled backwards. The might of that attack stunned him. It was just slightly over the power needed to overwhelm their mana s.h.i.+elds and kill them instantly. Any less and they would have only been injured severely.

Of course, they were only Rank 4 warriors. But even he would require some effort to kill a Rank 4 warrior with their mana s.h.i.+eld activated. The casual attack Gu Lan had used on that Rank 4 Warrior from earlier had injured the warrior. But that was under the condition of the warrior not activating his body s.h.i.+eld. Otherwise, the attack would have only done glancing damage.

From this, Gu Lan was able to come to a frightening conclusion. Such a basic attack like   containing such tyrannical might proved that this man was a high rank metal mage! Adding in the fact that their attacks pa.s.sed right through him proved one thing. ‘He’s a mental projection! This isn’t good at all!’

<mental projection=””>. The ability to make a copy of oneself using pure mana and a portion of the user's soul. Such a projection is intangible but the copy can still use the abilities of the original, though the abilities will be weakened. It is an ability that is kept by major clans or sects and can only be learned by extremely talented people.

Only mages could make copies of themselves. It required immense control and major amounts of Qi to accomplish along with the ability to split a part of their soul and embed it inside the copy. It would at most look like an illusionary ghost at the early stages. To make a completely realistic copy like the one in front of Gu Lan required a Rank 8 mage, maybe even a Rank 9 battle mage.

His Asura sect only had three Rank 6 Warrior. Such a high Rank mage was someone they could not hope to fight against. Gu Lan would be almost instantly be killed. He couldn’t even hope to contend against such a person.

“B*STARD! TO KILL TAI MIN LIKE THAT!” One of the Agni Asura screamed at the robed man. The Agni Asura’s name was Tai Ju, the brother of Tai Min. As a result he immediately became outraged at his brother being killed. His body s.h.i.+eld surged, causing the silver streaks to flicker brightly and the shadow to become darker.
