Chapter 224 - Join us! (1/2)

Gary was lasting longer against the clone compared to Ark but he was struggling a lot more than he originally thought. Before the fight started Gary had placed his Black sword on the ground for fear he might use it by accident.

This match was only meant to be a sparring match, whatever Ray was planning to do with the clone they needed to clone alive.

Gary had planned to use his skill with the sword against the clone's brute force. It worked at first with Gary managing to dodge and lead the clone's attacks to where he wanted. But the clone was also fast managing to defend nearly all of the attacks Gary gave at it.

After fighting for a while, Gary was starting to wear out. With his body getting tired he no longer saw the white lines in his vision which told him where to attack. Looking at the clone it seemed like he hadn't even broken a sweat.

”I give up,” Gary said, ”If it continues on, I'll just get even more tired.”

”Mike do you want to have a go?” Eve asked.

”Haha, and make a fool of myself. If Gary and Ark couldn't beat him what do you think a D class Adventurer like me could do?”

Then everyone's eyes naturally started to lean towards Lenny.

”All though I would usually take the opportunity, I'm afraid my magical attacks would be too powerful and destroy the clone, maybe another time,” Lenny said.

That left only one person in the group that stood a chance against the clone and without even having to ask Jack had already stepped forward.

”Sorry boss, but I think this is the only time I'm going to be able to hit you without getting punished,” Jack said as he pulled out his great sword.

The clone once again smiled and at the same time, the two of them clashed in the middle. However, the clone was similar to Ray and was arrogant. Although it was able to dodge Jack's sword, it wanted to take it head-on.

It felt like it had its full power even though it was only a quarter of the original. When the sword collided with the clone its fist was shattered and the clone started to disintegrate until it eventually disappeared.

”You idiot!” Garry shouted, ”What have you done, you weren't meant to use full force.”

”What but he smiled at me, I thought he could handle it?” Jack replied.

”Let's just hope that Ray doesn't get into any trouble in there,” Lenny said.

Inside the tower, Ray suddenly felt his clone disappear from outside.

”What happened, has there been an attack from outside?” Ray thought ”But how, have they managed to defeat the others and the clone.”

As Ray thought for the worst suddenly, he received a message from Gary.

”Sorry the idiot Dog, killed your clone. Stay safe. Gary.”

Mark continued to show the symbol to Ray.
