Chapter 1069 - Dogfight (2/2)

But since Cassidy relied solely on her instincts and wasn’t using her power consciously, Rhode had some ways to deal with her.

I’ll give that a shot.

After dodging Cassidy’s attack again, Rhode scanned her from head to toe. At this moment, she no longer looked like a timid, little rabbit like she had before the battle began. Instead, she was a hungry, ferocious wolf pouncing on its prey. Although her attacking routine was simple, Rhode knew clearly that if it weren’t for the protection from ‘Order’ as a Creator Dragon, he could simply be killed by just one slash of her blade. His attributes restored the presence that was contrasted by her. Based on this, it made sense that Marlene and Alice refused to do this job.

Alright then, I will need to rely on myself next.

Rhode clutched the sword at this thought, gazing at the young lady. Then, his body suddenly trembled in twisted ripples of air and three illusory shadow clones emerged from him, dispersing to both sides.

Fantasy Daybreak!

Fantasy Daybreak was no longer the half-assed swordsmanship that he casually created in the past. Every Creator Dragon had their unique battle skills and the same went for Rhode. After becoming the Void Dragon, he realized he had more accurate control of space and Fantasy Daybreak was also taken up a notch. If it was said in the past that the shadow clones he created were just ‘defective products’ made from spiritual powers through the system, right now they were true, identical clones of himself. The only difference between them was that the three clones were projections of him in the spatial plane of existence. It was similar to when Rhode saw his other self in the Wheel of Fate back then. However, it was only the projections casting the sword skill and wasn’t his true self back then. Besides, it also wasn’t similar to in the game. Right now, the individual shadow clones represented the different thoughts Rhode had when unleashing this swordsmanship. For instance, attacking with a straight thrust of the sword was a great move. But it would also be a good idea if he could ambush by slashing the sword horizontally to restrain the enemy’s movements. Of course, normal swordsmanship could never reach this perfection. But Rhode’s Fantasy Daybreak broke the obstruction of space and reached a perfect and harmonious unity!

Shing! Shing! Shing!

In the blink of an eye, the three shadow clones surrounded Cassidy entirely, slashing three dazzling blade rays from their swords. They staggered and coordinated to seal off her retreat at the same time. Facing this sudden change in situation, Cassidy’s expression remained unchanged. She snorted and flourished her sword abruptly in retaliation. Along with her movements, the three shadow clones suddenly became distorted and began to fuse by a mysterious force.

At this moment, Rhode finally struck!

“Summon!”

Facing her retaliation, Rhode trembled slightly. But he raised his sword, pointed at Cassidy, and snarled. Then, the entire world before him changed instantly!

The sky, earth, and everything from before disappeared. All of it was enveloped in pitch-black darkness and only dots of starlight flickered around them. It seemed as though Rhode had thrown Cassidy into outer space at this very instant. Upon realizing it, Cassidy revealed a flustered and stunned expression. She realized that the power she counted on the most was slowly vanishing!
