But they couldn't deny the fact they are clearly very weak they were always proud but now they find out they are considered just average towards true geniuses.
They were gritting their teeth after all they were quite prideful but now their pride took a great blow not only do they knew that they are weak the whole city knew they are considered weak.
When everyone of them finally enters the stage they first started to look at the clone intending to know what kind of clones it is.
They then realised that it was the fox clone which causes them to feel bitter after all unlike the other two clones they still don't know how powerful the fox clone is.
The first clone to be seen was the fox clone but because The Hunters were totally dominated by it they don't know it's limit.
From their observation each clone who had its lifebar turned to half would exhibit more powerful combat prowess and when its remaining lifebar was 10% they would undergo another improvement in terms of combat technique.
Lastly when the lifebar reached critical point then the clone would be able to exhibit a strength nearly comparable to a true Crimson Gold Rank monster.
Now that they are fighting the fox clone they need to be cautious.
Reias then bangs the gong starting the battle immediately the fox clone charge towards Rafael it's speed was incredibly fast.
The Peerless Sword Warriors were already ready for this as they saw how fast the fox clone move during the fight against it and The Hunters.
Rafael unsheathes his sword and slashed it but his attack missed as the clone was incredibly fast.
Swish! Rafael was scratched in the face as blood drips out of his face.
Rafaela started to use her holy energy to heal Rafael but the fox clone was already attacking again.
Bam!Zerf slams himself at the clone causing it to fly sideward but it landed in a graceful manner.
Rafael heaved a sigh of relief his neck would have been slashed off and he would be eliminated if Zerf did not help him.
He then looks at Zerf and said "Thanks Zerf I owe you one"
Zerf nodded as he locks on the clone who was being engaged by the other 4 members of their group.
Suddenly Rafaela started transforming becoming a sword angel while Rafael burst out with his own sword intent.
Zerf on the other hand started to restrain his aura as he tries to be unnoticeable.
Argh! A shout was heard coming from one of the swordsman that was fighting the clone one of his arms was cut off.
The clone then slashed his throat as he was lifted out of the stage just as the clone was about to continue it's rampage it flew backward smashing into the wall.
The one who attacked it was Rafaela then both Rafael and Zerf charge towards the clone as their aura burst in their peak.
The clone looks at the two of them and focus on Rafael as it once again charged towards him with it's blinding speed.
Peng! Peng! Peng! The two of them started clashing the clone might be extremely fast but Rafael has a method to deal something fast like it.
He would just follow the will of his sword intent but he was still having a hard time blocking the clone's attack.
Zerf arrives next to the clone as he slashed down his huge sword towards it but the clone quickly retreated as it easily dodge the attack.
The clone was then thrown to the side as a flying sword assaulted just seconds after it dodge Zerf's attack.
The clone was damaged its lifebar was reduced a little bit the three other members of the Peerless Sword Warriors then started slashing at the clone.
Bang! One of the swordsman was thrown backwards to the wall as the other would have been cut into pieces if it weren't for Shadowslash activating his spiritual sense barrier.
The remaining swordsman grits his teeth and lunged at the clone as he hugs it tightly the clone started using its tail attacking the swordsman breaking his bones.
The three weren't slow to react as they quickly launched their attacks at the immobile clone.
"Sword Requim Annihilation!"
"Boundless Wrath Slash!"
"Peerless Throughout Heaven Splitting Slash!"
The three used their strongest move as the attacks landed on the clone a great explosion occured.
The three were affected by the shockwave of their own attack as they were thrown backwards smashing themselves to the arena's wall.
As they lift their head they saw that their member that was hugging the clone earlier was now being lifted out of the stage.
Just as they were confused as to where the clone is Rafael since an unprecedented danger as he hurriedly rolled away.
But he was a bit too slow as claw marks appeared on his back leaving a bloody mark.
Zerf quickly pulled his sword and was about to help his bro when the clone passed through him.
At the last second he manage to use his sword to block the clone's attack but he still suffered from the attack.
The clone then dashed towards Rafaela causing her to pale as she used her sword wings to cover herself.
Peng! Clashing noise was heard as the clone's claws slashed the sword wings.
The fox clone stop slashing as it felt the sturdiness of her sword wings but it quickly changed its target to Zerf.
Zerf felt the gaze of the clone and immediately felt like a cornered beast like a rabbit that was in front of a wolf.
He shouted "Rafaela heal Rafael I'll dance with this monster!"
Just after he shouted this the clone charged after him.
Zerf holds his sword tightly as his eyes conveyed the message he was portraying 'Come on monster!'.
For him the clone wasn't a fighter but a true monster that humans feared.
He lets out a shout as the clone slashed him but he still holds on as the slash mark in his body multiplied.
He still grits his teeth suddenly he had a smile as he lets go of his huge sword blocking his head and chest as he sent a punch to the clone.
The clone easily dodge the attack and sharpens it's claws as it pierced through Zerf's chest of course it really did not do that as the spiritual sense barrier prevented it from doing so.
Swish! A sharp sword qi slashed the clone's back it then saw the red eyed Rafael.
Rafael was furious he saw his friend becoming a meat shield just for him to recover.
Zerf was grievously injured the slash of the clone was so sharp that bones could be seen in Zerf's injury.
Zerf has an incredibly tough body so to pierce through his muscle to the point his bones could now be clearly seen shows just how sharp the clone's claws really are.
With his attack the clone's lifebar was reduced once again.
Shadowslash who was watching from above saw that the fox lifebar was much more easy to deplete than the two clones.
After all he had designed the clones so each clone was different from the other.
For example the fox clone has speed but no defence, the dragon clone has strength and toughness but it's speed is slower than the fox clone and the swordsman clone has a balanced attribute.
The fox clone then disappear and reappear behind Rafael brandishing it's claws.
It was too fast just as Rafael was about to be hit a sword manage to block the clone's attack as Rafael attacked it.
The clone flexibly bend it's body dodging the attack but once again the sword that would appear out of nowhere attack it.
The was hit when it stood up once again its lifebar was almost depleted as Rafael and the mysterious sword would attack it numerous times.
When it's life reach critical level it started to move in a unique way as it started to run in circle.
Rafael was on the defensive just as he was about to leap backwards the clone disappears as a shout coming from Rafaela was heard.
The mysterious sword came from Rafaela as it was actually the swords from her wings but even though it was quite a powerful ability to control the swords in a distance she lost her only defence against the fox clone.
Now only Rafael and the clone was left in the stage the chances of him winning is practically nearly impossible.
Bam! The clone disappears and reappears in front of him as it slams it claws at Rafael.
Rafael managed to block the attack but he was pushed backwards as the clone would disappear and reappear around him continuously attacking him.
Rafael suffered numerous cuts and slashed as a huge claw mark was now embedded in his back.
Things aren't looking so good now as the audience were sighing an explosion occured.
