This fact made Fein smirk. After all, without a sword, his fake self won't be able to use swordsmanship and sword domain, which accounts for 75% of his combat power. Just with this, the battle was already concluded.
Thinking of this, Fein activated his sword domain without hesitation. Since he was fighting himself. He knew best what he could do and couldn't. He knew his fighting style and its limitation. If he just attacks the fake Fein with his sword. The fake one would just use the teleportation ability to dodge.
"My will is as sharp as swords. My domain houses infinite blades... I am the blood of my sword and I have multiplied over hundreds of swords. And all the swords within my domain follow my will. Inside my domain, I am the emperor of swords! Unlimited Blade Domain!"
With the end of the chant, the Destruction blade in his tight grip hands released itself and floated above him.
As if knowing the danger of the sword domain. The fake Fein flicked his fingers multiple times. Hundreds of bolts of lightning shot towards Fein as if the fake one wants to desperately stop Fein from successfully using the sword domain.
'Is it aware?' Fein had a grin on his face. 'Death Ozone!'
Just like that, the destruction abyssal blade turned into two. Then it became four and six and eight. It kept multiplying until 500 swords were suspended in the air. After that, it stopped.
All the swords suddenly pointed in the direction of the fake Fein.
The sword fell like a meteor shower after Fein made a gesture. Every sword turned into a blue light that cut the space and air. Fein toggled on the destruction mist at the same time. Causing every one of the swords to obtain the blessing of destruction mist. The blue lights evolved into purple lights.
Due to this, the sword with SS rank sharpness became 50x more damaging. The space around each sword literally cracked like broken glasses and the purple lights traveled faster because of it.
The clone didn't have the opportunity to perform a short-distance teleportation because of the speed of the purple lights.
Seeing his fake self get obliterated into oblivion made Fein breathe a sigh of relief. Fein felt uncomfortable with his fake self. After all, only want handsome could live in this world. He wasn't willing to share his throne.
Just like that, the bright light film actually burst like a bubble. Unfortunately, Sofia and the others were still nowhere to be found.
'Guess they haven't managed to defeat themselves yet. I hope they are okay,' Fein thought with worry.
...
On the other side, Sofia was fighting another Sofia. Two Sofia wielded similar blood scythes in their hands and they have blood armor on their body. Their movements were in sync and they have similar fighting styles.
Sofia looked at the fake Sofia, who was an exact replica of her. As if it was her twin, although didn't really have one. She fought her fake self and collided with her multiple times already, but she couldn't gain an advantage.
As time goes on, Sofia felt frustrated and helpless. Her fake self could literally do what she could do with ease. It was as if she was fighting a mirror of herself with the exact abilities that she had! Nothing more frustrating than this. The good news was her fake self wasn't better than her in terms of fighting and use of abilities. But this also results in a stalemate.
When Sofia used her blood bullets, the fake Sofia also used blood bullets. When she summoned a blood golem, the fake Sofia did exactly the same. Even the blood magic, hyper-regeneration, bat transformation, dark domain, and blood domain. The fake Sofia could use them all at the exact proficiency that she could.
'How can I beat this? How can I defeat myself?' Sofia was helpless at this. 'If Fein is the one in my position. What would he do?'
How would she supposed to defeat an enemy that has the exact same strength, speed, and abilities, and move the same as her?
Sofia racked her brain for solutions, but she couldn't think of anything. The last thing that she hasn't tried yet was her destruction abilities. Now, she knew that she didn't have a choice but to use it.
"Let me see if you can copy this!" Sofia fused her dark energy and blood energy with her masterful energy control smoothly. As soon as she did this, the blood-red scythe in her hand evolved into purple.
The space around Sofia contorted as it couldn't hold the immense unstable energy of the concentrated destruction energy. Then Sofia turned her head to the fake Sofia opposite her.
Suddenly, the fake Sofia did exactly what Sofia did. She condensed the purple scythe in her hands with a grin on her face.
Sofia stared at the purple scythe on her fake self with disbelief. She could feel that the one in the hands of her fake self wasn't any worse than the one in her hands. 'What would happen if I couldn't defeat her? What if we ended up in a draw?'
The thought of this made Sofia nervous. She couldn't see the chance of defeating the fake Sofia at all. Her chances of winning, her hope, became slimmer and slimmer.
However, even with this, Sofia didn't plan to give up. Fein, Aoi, and Voli were still waiting for her. She wasn't willing to fall into such a place and lose to her fake self!
In the end, Sofia gritted her teeth. The only way to defeat the fake Sofia was to surpass herself and break her current limits! If she surpassed her limits in the battle. This is the only way that she could see herself winning. She has to go plus ultra! To the point that the fake Sofia won't be able to do what she could in a short amount of time!
With this thought, the determination on Sofia's face became stronger. She charged at the fake Sofia.
Just like that, two destruction scythes collided multiple times. The space in the surroundings got wrecked as a result of a battle between destruction energy. The environment turned into broken glass with shards of space scattered around that were sharp enough to cut an S-rank metal.
