BOOM!
A resounding explosion was heard as an enormous earthen great sword, two times the size and height of a human, made contact with the bare fist of a man.
The rumbling explosion was followed with a huge dust cloud that enveloped the surroundings, affecting the vision of those around.
Unfortunately, there was no other person around, except for the two extremely identical individuals.
Silas was happy as he fighting an all-out fight with the clone. Yes, it's meant to be a training but he's taking it serious because it's the only way he can actually test the limit of his strengths.
After the great sword was destroyed, Silas switched back to hand to hand combat. It has been proven that his control over the states of matter is still very weak. This also reflects to the clone.
Not that it's weak. Against a regular Phenomenal, it's lethal. The problem is that the structural integrity of the constructs are too weak against him. This is the reason why the great sword that would had send a regular Phenomenal to their maker is getting pulverized into dust cloud.
Silas took a fighting stance and punched the clone in the face. He got a max level combined fighting skill from the system, it's time to put it use.
His attack was too slow, as the clone dodged it easily and countered with a punch of its own.
The clone's punch was lightning fast and lethal, leaving Silas almost no time to react, and he was sent skidding across the ground, creating a long gash that stretched for metres and had his feet deeply embedded in it.
He didn't allow himself to be sent flying this time.
'Nu uh! Not this time.'
After he stopped skidding, Silas took a brief look at the clone's position, and he took a step forward, disappearing from where he stood.
Boom!
A massive explosion was heard as his body brought through the air, causing a great disruption in the air around him.
Immediately, a blade completely made of wind, measuring more 100 meters descended from the sky. The wind blade screeched as it cut through the air and the dust cloud, dissipating it and the small rocks in it, and leaving a long mark on the ground.
Silas smiled and nodded when he saw this.
"Not bad at all. It seems there's still a lot to be learned ."
Silas saw the clone disappeared from its position and he immediately got on guard.
This is the second time that Silas is fighting the clone but he seemed to forgotten some very important information about it.
When he created the clone, he used the Pod's impeccable and extremely precise recreation ability to recreate it.
This means that the clone is Silas, but the better version of him as it can use all of the skills that Silas has, his superpower and his physical strength. Though unlike humans, the AI lacks creativity when it comes to using the superpower, it makes up for it with what can be called its extremely precise and lethal battle computing power.
Yes, the clone is being controlled by an AI. A very intelligent and fast learning AI that was created by Luna. It's sole purpose is to control the clone and make sure it doesn't lose.
****
Silas took an attacking stance as he waited for the clone to get closer to him.
The next moment, he saw the clone stop and he was surprised by its action, but his surprise was cut short when he felt the ground shaking, followed by a massive multiple cracks, and massive chunks of the earth rising into the air, defying gravity.
The terrain shifted violently, large slabs of rock floating upwards, twisting and rotating in all directions as if they were suspended in zero gravity.
Silas was surprised when he saw this. He didn't understand what the clone was trying to do with so many large rocks floating in the air, but one thing he knew was that the situation was about to get very dangerous.
As if confirming his thought, some of the massive slabs of rocks split into slabs of rock of smaller varying sizes, and their flat shapes morphed into objects with very sharp and pointed ends.
The slab of rock that didn't break into smaller pieces, also changed into huge objects with sharp and pointed ends.
