Chapter 308: Ninja skill (2/2)

Jami grinned.

This Chloe was a tenacious opponent. She wondered if it was luck or what-- that on Chloe's side, but her attack kept on missing at an extremely short distance.

”Dancing Blade!”

After whispering, about four blades appeared around Jami. They were spinning in the air like drones.

After waving her hand, they shot towards Chloe.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Chloe grimaced at the sight of it. She hastily summoned mana on her feet and ran around the stage.

But, she further grimaced when the spinning blades didn't stop, instead, they chased after her like they had the will of their own.

'A homing type!' Chloe cried out inwardly.

The onlookers had uniformed faces. All of them were wearing a face that formed like '0'.

Not only that, they move faster than her. In just a matter of seconds, they would be going to shred her to pieces.

She tried to shoot them down.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

”What?!” Chloe exclaimed she noticed the blades spiraled. It seemed like they were evading her attacks.

Never in her life has she witnessed such a technique.

While skidding backward, she focused her right hand on them. However, in the corner of her eyes, to her right side, she saw Jami rushing towards her.

Her right hand was pointing in front while her left, she pointed the muzzle to her right, focused on the approaching Jami.

Apparently, at the tip of the muzzle, there was a gathering of mana.

Yman narrowed his eyes. 'A purple shockwave to knock the flying blades, and a Photon Blast to the approaching opponent. Not bad,' He thought.

It was only a guess, but if Chloe did it there was a high likelihood she could escape from Jami's entanglement.

If his guesses were right, then it would give her a big chance to turn around the tide of battle.

But Yman and the others did not expect what happened next.

In front of the flying blades, a mass of magical energy took the form of a mirror.

It materialized right in front of the chasing blades.

On the contrary, behind Jami, the same thing happened. It materialized right behind her.

However, the next second, the blades were gone inside the mirror and went out from the other mirror behind Jami.

Jami's grin froze on her mouth and was replaced by wide eyes.

Then she staggered for a couple of steps forward.

Confused, she looked behind. On her back, the four blades were stuck.

”H-how did it happen?”

Chloe gasped for breath as she was staring at Jami who fell on her knee. Her blades stabbed her in the back.

Though Chloe also felt her knee wanted to give up. That technique drained out her mana. It was an advanced spell that was able to create a semi portal.

The [En and Ex Purple Dimension] spell. The only downside of this spell was, it has a limited range. And also, it needed lots of mana. Chloe was yet to master it. But for now, it was the craftiest spell she had.

Fortunately, the Water Goddess Light Armor she was wearing at the moment enabled her to regenerate a portion of mana every second. So she just needed to wait at least 5 seconds to fire a decisive shot.

Right, her magic-based pistol won't shoot without feeding it with mana. She didn't want to come near Miss Jam. After all, even if she was injured, her level was higher than her.

One single mistake could put Chloe in danger. Chloe was only cautious. She wanted to secure her victory. Thanks to Yman. Because of him, her resolve to defeat a higher-level opponent didn't waver. Before she knew it, he became the figure she wanted to follow as an example.

She wanted to fight like him. She wanted to defeat a much stronger opponent.

Yman and Bob smiled warmly at the figure of Chloe who struggled to maintain her stance. But both of them knew that she was barely able to stand. That spell must exhaust her for good. It was easy to guess just looking at how deep she was breathing.

She pointed the muzzle of her pistol to the kneeling Jami.

Whoosh!

Unexpectedly, before Chloe could pull the trigger, she felt a stab from behind her.

”Eh!” Chloe uttered.

”Sorry, Chloe, it's my win,” she heard Jami's voice behind her ears.

”But… How come…?”

Ahead of her, the kneeling Jami gradually turned to smoke.

”A ninja ability. A cloning technique,” Jami replied.

Chloe fell on the ground and was followed by a loud siren, signaling the end of the match.

”End of the second match! The victor, LovelyGirlScout!”

Instructor Beth announced.
