Chapter 378: Battle of Supreme Swords... Part-3.



[Elemental Sword Art: Wind Type: Serpentine Wind!]

As the mimic type enemy had already absorbed nearly all the miasma from the water and the whole area inside the giant hall, Rio didn't need to keep his 'Miasma type' activated at all times now.

He can use other elements and can fight freely now that that there's no miamsa in the surroundings.

*Clanck!*

Just like how Rio swung his sword in a serpent's 'slithering' like motoin, the mimic did the

same.

Both of their swords hit each other at the same time and as the two of them were doing the exact same attack, they cancelled out each other.

'Quite a good copy you are... but can you copy this?'

[Sword Intent!]

Rio covered his sword in sword intent and swung it downwards, and just like he had expected, the other party couldn't copy 'Sword Intent' at all.

The other party used 'DarkWing Movement art' instead and dodged his attack by making a safe distance.

'Legendary' Skills are unique existence, they are the representation of the acknowledgement of the 'Laws' of the 'World', you can't copy them no matter what.

Every person's legendary skill is unique to themselves.

For example, Although Meng has 'Sword Intent' but the charactertics, aura and 'flow' patterns of his 'Sword Intent' are completely different than Rio's.

It's as if the two's 'Sword Intent' are two completely different skills that don't have any similarities except the fundamental uses of them.

Thus, if this mimic type enemy wants to use Sword Intent, it would need to get the acknowledgement of the 'Law' of 'Sword' and even then, it's sword intent will be unique to itself, it won't be a copy of Rio's.

The reason why Fade, who had the system store couldn't buy 'Mana Field' no matter what, was because you can't 'Buy' the 'favoribility' of a 'Law' of the 'World', you have to 'Earn' that 'Acknowledgement' yourself.

Even till the last chapters that Rio read, Fade never acquired 'Mana Field' despite having tons of 'Exp' on him.

'Aside from 'Sword Intent'... you also don't have the 'Imperfect Sword Heart'... in other words, you are just a weaker copy of me... aren't you-'

Just when Rio was about to get disappointed in the other party, the mimic raised the sword towards the ceiling and three more blobs of meat fell down from the ceiling.

Seeing another three appear out of nowhere, a frown appeared on Rio's face.

'Where are they even coming from... I am sure I didn't sense that there was any of them there before...'

'Or is it because i have the unfair advantage so it summoned it's companinons to even out the advantage?'

*Whoosh*

The other three blobs of meat didn't even take more than a few milliseconds before they attracted miasma from outside and started absorbing it.

[DarkWing Movement Art!]

*BOOM*

Rio bent his knees a bit and launched towards the three newly appeared enemies with a bullet like speed.

Just by moving he created powerful sonic booms in the air and the water in the area became chaotic.

A strong shockwave spread in the area which slowed down the speed of the first mimic by a few milliseconds.

And Rio didn't miss this small delay, he raised his sword above his shoulder and struck down at one of the blob of meat that had only just started to transform.

[Unique Skill: Soul-Splitting!]

Rio's sword glowed with a sinister dark aura and the moment it hit the blob of meat, it directly sliced it's whole body in two along with it's soul, will and consciouness.

*Clank*

Just when Rio was about to attack the second enemy, the fully transformed mimic appeared on time and used handling to parry his sword and it stopped Rio from going for a double kill.

Rio then jumped in the air, used air as ground and made a few meteres of distance between him and the enemies.

*BOOM!!*

The mimic beast that Rio killed exploded and a massive shockwave spread out

He knew this beforehand, thus he knew that the mimic which was present from the start will definitely be delayed for a few seconds as it was trying to keep a distance from himself.

Rio made the decision to target the newly summoned mimics in that millisecond worth of time frame and sure enough, that gave him a big advantage.

He reduced the number of his opponents from four to three before they even properly joined

the battle.

This is the advantage knowledge brings, if Rio didn't know about his own habits, he could have never seized that chance.

'As they say, knowing yourself first is very crucial for a battle, even more crucial than knowing

the enemy...'

Without delay, Rio kicked one of the clones and made it avoid his kick, but before the clone

could counterattack, Rio glanced in a random direction and shouted.

"Ah, Lia? What are you doing here!?"

The clone immediately got distracted and ended up looking in the same direction where Rio

was looking thus it forgot about attacking.

'Idiot, why would Lia be here, you love sick weirdo!'

[Sword Intent: Maximum Output!]

[Elemental Sword Art: Healing Type: Concentrated Heal!]

Rio's sword passed right through the body of the clone like butter and he poured tons of

healing magic in the other party's chest.

These mimics are made up of miasma afterall, healing magic is literal poison for them.

The mimic's whole upper body exploded.

'So, they can't mimic my equipment... no, they have much weaker versions of it...'

Rio jumped away to dodge the attacks of the other two clones while contemplating in his

mind.

These mimics have weaker versions of his equipment, if it had a shadow robe that was powerful enough then this attack wouldn't have landed on it and the healing magic wouldn't

have worked.

But it worked not only because the clone got distracted for a millisecond, it's robe was weak and it wasn't enhanced with sword intent or miasma.

These were the main reasons why that clone died.

'Er... this method actually worked on the clone... doesn't that mean it would work on me too?

Ugh...'

Rio couldn't help but shake his head with a helpless look on his face.

When it comes to Lia he really ends up getting distracted even amidst battle, this can prove

fatal someday.

'Sigh, I guess I need to improve in this aspect later...'
