〖 Although my willpower has become solidified to the point that it would not change even after a hundred or thousand years, I still fully believe that my willpower is nowhere near enough to become the dominator of all things. Your character of persisting to your own beliefs no matter how much you are tempted is truly the thing I require most 〗

Negary looked at Smick and grinned: 〖 As a reward of my praise to you, I shall suppress my physical prowess and limit myself to only the limit of what a human can possess. I shall also not use my telekinesis abilities, if you can truly win against me, I will let you go, I might even consider cooperating with your king 〗

“Stop your lies!” Smick was obviously standing far away, but his voice came from right next to Negary.

〖 So you haven’t learnt your lesson yet? 〗Negary’s right hand morphed. The metal eating germs gathered at his wrist to form a pale-white blade that blocked an invisible weapon.

Negary suddenly tilted his head as a wound abruptly appeared on his face. The black germs underneath could be seen writhing as some white mist scattered to the air, but naturally, this wound was quickly healed.

“You managed to discover me thanks to the things floating in the air, didn’t you?” Smick’s voice came: “They exist everywhere, so even if I conceal myself, you can use their positions in the air to determine where I am and even my movements”

“But I’ve already seen through this little trick of yours, Negary!” Smick quickly retreated and revealed his figure again, at the same time, numerous more Smicks appeared out of nowhere.

“[School of Light], Light Illusions!”

Through channeling the rhythm of light, he created illusions of himself everywhere. At the same time, it wasn’t as though the light couldn’t deal any damage. While these Light Illusions appeared to be human, they would appear as bright miniature suns within one’s perception, the rhythm of the light quickly burned all the germs that got close to the illusions.

“This way, you won’t be able to tell which one of me is real” 10 Smicks stood at different locations and spoke at once. His voice also seemed to have undergone some sort of special alteration as one couldn’t use it to tell where it was coming from at all.

〖 How impressive, Smick 〗Negary praised: 〖 Now, let me force you to exert more of your potential and bring out more taste in your soul 〗

Negary put his hand up as he walked towards the group of Smicks. He was actually keeping his promise and suppressed his body to the limit of humans, although he was still unimaginably fast, it was no longer so fast that one couldn’t react to it.

The 10 Smicks advanced all at once. These illusions were very realistic, to the point that Negary couldn’t tell who the real one was, the real Smick was among them, so one wrong move could cause him to be hit.

As the first Smick charged straight at Negary and swung his cutlass at him, Negary raised his arm sword to block, but that Smick simply passed right through, revealing it to be an illusion.

Taking advantage of when Negary raised his arm, the other Smicks all raised their cutlasses and attacked from different directions. Parrying one strike meant he couldn’t parry another, and if he happened to choose the incorrect one, the real Smick would be able to attack the defenseless Negary.

But almost immediately, all 5 of Negary’s left fingers exploded and turned into a liquid that accurately shot towards each Smick’s head. All the liquids passed through without trouble, confirming that all these Smicks were illusions.
