Chapter 73 Youre The Best (2/2)
The third trial tested one's ability to comprehend things. I spent several minutes mastering Aura-concealing Skill and Shadow Lightness—two superior secret martial skills.
But the fourth trial... what is it for?' Darren wondered, studying the old bell with furrowed eyebrows.
He had no idea how to pass this test and it somewhat worried him.
'I got a reward after passing the second test. I'm going to check the prize first, see if there are any clues that might help in
th sword skills. The best I can do is kill him at the cost of my own life. But he is just a fake. Taking him out by sacrificing my life? Not the best idea!'
At the thought of this, he took out his blade. His eyes never left his opponent, and although it still felt so strange to face someone who looked exactly like him, Darren tried to focus on overcoming the challenge.
”I will show you the power of my sword and blade!” Darren yelled loudly.
He ran at his enemy while using his sword and blade at the same time. All of a sudden, a formidable power swept through the field, blasting off strong winds in all directions.
”Go to hell!” he bellowed.
A regular opponent would have cowered in fear and cried in pain, but the fake Darren had no expression on his face at all. He rushed towards Darren with his sword intent as strong as the previous ones he released.
Deafening sounds filled the whole space.
Two people looking exactly the same exchanged attacks with each other in the storm of swirling dust, fighting to the death. Wounds caused by their swords appeared on their bodies.
However, it was evident that the fake was at a disadvantage. He kept being hit by Darren's blade despite his defenses.
”Game over!” Darren hollered.
He kept waving his sword and blade at his opponent. He then took the chance and cut through the fake's neck, decapitating him entirely.
BANG!
Just like that, the replica's body exploded and disappeared. Darren crashed on the ground with cuts and bruises all over his body. He didn't want to admit it, but he sustained serious injuries this time.
”Good job, Darren. You're the best, ' he encouraged himself. He had never imagined that he had to fight with himself one day.
Thinking the fight was finally over, he allowed himself to relax and even feel a little bit of relief. Unfortunately, he was given the shock of his life when the mysterious runes started lighting up again.
Another teenager who had Darren's face appeared, giving off a cold vibe.
This time, the lad held a sword in one hand and a blade in the other.
