120 Battle for Top 1 Part 1 : Overconfident? (1/2)

...

Shin is picking a fight not because he is an idi*t, but because he is aware of his talents. The more he fight stronger people, the stronger he become.

And he also discovered that he still need to practice more. Especially when he battled with the High Ranker that he fought earlier.

From the videos that he have watched online, his estimate is that guy should only be a newly promoted High Ranker from being an Official Ranker. It is because that guy's battle standards is only slightly higher than him.

If it is a veteran High Ranker, then Shin might spend some more effort to battle that guy. And he might even be the one that become defeated if that was the case.

And now he already find a chance to improve himself, so how can he let it slip by.

And he can he can improve himself by a large margin if he had a battle with them, since these guys on his front have an almost the same battle standards as him.

So without further ado, Shin and the Phantom Clone immediately rush forward, indicating that he is serious about taking the three of them by himself.

And naturally, Shin is not stup*d enough to invite them in a separate one-on-one battle with his clones. That is because it is going to be a great toll on his mind if he battle with them separately.

But still, fighting the three of them in a team battle is going to become a tough fight.

...

Shin and the Phantom Clone accelerated forward before swinging their balzing swords on their front. Then a pair of blazing sword waves was sent flying forward.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

'Extra Skill: Flame Burst'

'Extra Skill: Flame Burst'

Then Shin use the sword waves to block the sights of his opponents as he skillfully entered stealth while the Eclipse Clone quickly takes his place.

Exheart and Bryan dodge to left and right respectively, avoiding the blazing sword waves. After that, they simultaneously charge at each of Shin clones.

Exheart thrust his spear forward while enfolding it with a bloody aura.

'Blood Spearman Skill: Soul Charge'

The Phantom Clone swing the sword on its right hand in an outward circular motion as it use the surface of the sword to redirect the trajectory of the spear.

Clang!

After that, the Phantom Clone swing its right arm downwards as it use its sword to throw a powerful downward slash at Exheart.

'Extra Skill: Destructive Slash'

Exheart immediately pulled his spear backwards before using its body to block the incoming downward slash.

'Extra Skill: Spear Guard'

Cling!

After that, Exheart immediately do a quick spin before throwing a back kick at the Phantom Clone.

The Phantom Clone on the other hand immediately raise its right leg before throwing a forward kick at Exheart.

Pak!

Clang! Cling!

Clang! Clang!

Cling! Cling!

Cling! Clang!

At the same time, Bryan sprinted forward while channeling a berserk flame aura on his saber. And when he arrived in front of the Eclipse Clone, he swiftly swing his weapon downwards.

'Berserker Skill: Flaming Chop'

The Eclipse Clone on the other hand enfold the sword on its right hand with a blazing aura before throwing a horizontal cut at the incoming saber.

'Slayer Skill: Solar Cut'

Blang!

After that, the Eclipse Clone immediately swing its other sword at Bryan, but the later is able to skillfully block the strike using the surface of his saber.

Then the Eclipse Clone swing both of its swords at Bryan as the later block the sword slashes with his saber.

After a slight exchange of some melee strikes, both Exheart and Bryan simultaneously hop backwards as if they already practice it for a lot of times already.

Naturally, HellBan is not idle during the battle. He is currently busy chanting out a powerful spell when the four are busy dealing with each other.

And when his chant ended, both Exheart and Bryan are already moving backwards.

'Do you think that you can deal with us with just the help of your clone alone?' Is what they wants to say, but the spell that they are waiting didn't come.

They simultaneously turn their heads to their backs and see that HellBan was forced to cancel his spell because another 'Shin' appear in front of him.

”Huh!?”

”Eh!?”

Shin chase after HellBan to prevent him from chanting out some more powerful spells.

And the 'Shins' in their front take advantage of that slight distraction to enter stealth modes.

'Phantom Swordsman Skill: Phantom Assassination'

'Phantom Swordsman Skill: Phantom Assassination'

And when the other two realized that, both of them immediately made their move.

Bryan use the special trait of WolfKins that improves their senses.

---------------------

WolfKin Racial Trait:

•Wolves are known for their agility, hunting abilities and their very sharp senses.

1. Wolf's Senses: When this trait was activated, the Awareness Stat of the user will increase by fourfold for 5 seconds.

----------------------

After activating that trait, Bryan suddenly felt a presence on his left side. Then he immediately swing his saber towards his left, targeting that presence.

Clang!

Then the Eclipse Clone suddenly materialize at Bryan's left side. After that the two of them immediately enter another melee exchange.

On the other side, Exheart took a more direct way to find his hidden opponent. He hold his spear in front of his chest in a horizontal manner, before twisting his waist in counterclockwise direction.

After that, he tightens his grip at is spear before throwing a powerful full circle swing around him in a clockwise direction.

'Blood Spearman Skill: Circular Swipe'

The Phantom Clone was revealed, but it materialize in the air while doing a spin-roll in there as it dodge the 'Circular Swipe'.

Then the Phantom Clone use the momentum of the spin-roll to swing its sword downwards while forcing itself to descend on the ground.

'Extra Skill: Falling Lightblade'

Exheart is gotten a little of guard when he saw the maneuver of the Phantom Clone in the air. 'Is this guy controlling his clones manually while fighting the three of us?'

After that quick thought, Exheart immediately swing his spear upwards to counter the Phantom Clone.

'Extra Skill: Rising Talon'

Blang!

Ta-Ta!

When the Phantom Clone landed on the ground, Exheart immediately pulled his spear slightly backwards before swinging it downwards in a very powerful manner.

'Blood Spearman Skill: Smashing Spear'

The Phantom Clone had no time dodge the skill because the attack is too sudden. And it also can't block the incoming spear since it is already above its head when the clone landed on the ground in its awkward position.

But before the spear successfully landed on the Phantom Clone's head, another figure suddenly appeared behind Exheart. It is the Eclipse Clone, and it is swinging its sword in a powerful manner as it target Exheart's head.

'Phantom Swordsman Skill: Phantom Steps'

'Extra Skill: Destructive Slash'

Exheart hesitated for a moment because of the sudden appearance of the Eclipse Clone behind him, but he still brace himself as he continue swinging his spear downwards.

There is a slight pause on Exheart movements because of his slight hesitation. And even if that pause is not enough for the Phantom Clone to execute a skill, it is still more than enough for it to swing the sword on its right hand in an outward circular motion and redirecting the spear trajectory.

'Epic Combat Technique: Infinity Edge'

Clang!

Bang!

Pssk!

-81 019(Critical)(Stunned)

The spear landed on the Phantom Clone's right side on the same time that the sword of the Eclipse Clone hit its target.
