Chapter 136: One Day in the World of Barbarians (2) (1/2)

With a Halo appearing on top of her head before it settled behind it, Erin unleashed one of her Halo Skills.

The Shadow Daggers I saw from her before grew numerous and started flying around her as if they came to life. Erin then pointed her finger towards me, marking me as the target of those blades.

A few seconds later, the Shadow Daggers as if acknowledging that order really lunged straight at me while leaving a dark trail of her energy.

Since I didn't have any orbs with me this time and my stats were sufficiently lower than hers, I had to make do with every skill and ability in my arsenal.

”That Halo, I knew for sure you'll fit in that Hidden Village full of shinobi.”

She made it look like kunais, I wonder where she was drawing her inspiration when she created those daggers.

Right after saying that and before those daggers hit me, my body split to five with my main body disappearing from her sight. The cost of a few hundred units of Flux Energy somehow stung into me.

Phantasmic Doppelganger.

It only has 50% effectiveness which means those clones only have 10% of this Incarnation's stats.

Though each of them tried to dodge, they're too slow for it and all four of my created clones vanished just like that.

Ah. Those clones are too weak. A waste of 400 units of Flux Energy.

Well, what should I expect? They're only around 4 or 5 in Strength and Endurance. At least they achieved their purpose.

Thanks to those clones' sacrifice. I managed to circle around her. Without my sword here, I'm fighting her using a borrowed weapon.

”What shinobi? You monster, you're using that orb again!”

Erin shouted when the 4 clones vanished and she found out that none of those four was the real me.

Err… I'm also not the real me.

In any case, before she could react, I tapped her back with the sword I borrowed and left an Energy Explosion on it before retreating backwards hurriedly.

”No. I don't have the orbs with me.”

When she felt my touch and heard my voice, she immediately turned around and tried to shake off the delayed Energy Explosion stuck to her back but it's all too late.

Boom!

Though it managed to explode on her back, the explosion only damaged her skimpy outfit revealing her smooth flawless back.

”You monster! Are you trying to strip me off?!”

Huh? How did she misunderstand it like that? This girl...

”The power's just weaker that it didn't get past your clothes.”

”Don't explain it to me, idiot!”

And now she's being this unreasonable.

After saying that, another Halo appeared from her and she vanished from where she was. This time, she finally used her favorite Augmented Skill, the Shadow Concealment.

Err… it was already upgraded into a Halo. Its name has probably been changed.

The sky was already dark so this skill of hers will surely be more effective than normal, more so that it's already a Halo

Unlike before where she could be spotted easily if I focused on the surrounding energy, this time, I sensed three disturbances of energy which split up from where she was earlier. Like a clone.

Wait. They really were her clones but all of them became concealed. The question is… How strong will those clones be? A decoy or will it have an actual power? But I don't need to know that.

To find a counter to that, I searched through my arsenal of skills.

A few seconds later, I activated Energy Field and put on an Energy Shield before transforming into an Energy Incarnate.

I'm already a being made of energy so transforming into an Energy Incarnate only strengthened a bit of my control and senses.

However, that's enough. Controlling the Brute Energy in the surroundings, I made it into a whirlpool of energy which suddenly came into existence in the middle of the three disturbances that I sensed.

When the surrounding energy around those disturbances got sucked into the whirlpool, Erin's clones and her own concealed body who are currently dashing around me appeared.

”Daisuke! That's cheating!”

Seeing that her Halo was negated just like that, Erin couldn't help but took it as an injustice towards her. She stopped her tracks and looked as if she was already about to cry.

She then looked around and settled her gaze on Avelin.

”Avelin, help me take down this monster. Even if I'm physically stronger, it's like he has bottomless tricks he can pull out at any time.”
