Chapter 379: Battle of Supreme Swords... Part-4.



'What does usually goes through my mind when the opponent is only one and there's allies to help me fight?'

'Of course my first thought is...'

[Elemental Sword Art: Water Type: Diverging tides!]

Rio swung his sword horizontally and two water tides made up of condensed water

elementals rushed towards the two clones.

But the two clones didn't flinch at all, they immediately used 'Frost Type' to instantly freeze the water tide.

*BOOM!*

Rio broke through the frozen ice and swung his sword at one of the clones.

[Elemental Sword Art: Thunder Type: Concentrated Thunder Arc!]

He swung his sword in an upside-down motion and the clone barely was able to react on time to bring out 'Earth type' attack to neutralize his thunder attacks.

'Not yet...'

Seeing that the expected didn't happen, Rio decided to use 'DarkWing Movement Art' to dodge sideways to avoid the incoming miasmic blade swung by the another clone.

The first clone also took advantage of this opportunity and stopped using Earth type, it used a 'Thrust' type attack on Rio instead.

[Handling!]

*Clanck!**Clink*

Rio had to parry those hundred thrust attacks at once to fully avoid taking damage.

'Now that I am facing it... I can indeed say it for sure... fighting me is definitely a pain in the A*s...'

Rio simply has too many tricks up his sleeves.

Not only is he fast, he hits like truck and if you don't properly dodge his attacks, you will get hit by ten or more of the similarly powerful attacks and won't even have the leisure to even breathe.

Moreover, Rio simply has too many defensive abilities, not only he can parry most weapon type attacks with 'Handling' he can basically avoid nearly all physical attacks with the shadow robe.

Lastly, there's true immunity, which will directly render all tricks useless against him. In other words, if you want to win against Rio, you need overwhelming power, if you can't overpower him in one go, then it's going to be very difficult to win.

Even Rio himself is having a hard time fighting his own clones as he has to guard against many potential fatal attacks.

But Rio has an advantage right now.

That is, he knows his own habits and thinking process better than anyone else in the world. He knows what decision he will make in which type of situation.

That's why, he's artificially trying to create situations that would be more beneficial to him as the clones will likely be more vulnerable to making mistakes in those particular situations.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'Not yet...'

Rio used the Darkwing movement Art to enhance his speed again.

[Sword Intent!]

[Elemental Sword Art: Poison type: Swamp of Death!]

Rio's sword's tip touched the ground and the water in the hall turned into lethal poison.

Rio himself has 'Imperfect Sword Heart' that makes him immune to poison, but the two clones don't have it.

They will have to make a choice in this moment, either use 'Frost Type' the swamp and eliminate all hidden danger altogether.

Or use 'Wind type', take a risk and use the momentary delay of Rio's sword being towards ground and not in a proper stance, to do a risky attack on him.

The clones had a mere millisecond of time to make a decision and finally the thing that Rio was waiting for, happened.

One of the clones used Frost Type, while the other used Wind type to do the risky attack. Although it seemed like the two were now cooperating and had each other's back, this was exactly the situation Rio wanted.

'When there's only one opponent and there's one ally on my side, I make two decisions most of the time... either charge head on and do a risky attack while relying on the ally for support or just go with defense and don't attack...'

Earlier, Rio tried to create a situation where one clone will go for defense and one will go for a risky offense, but both clones were going for defense and Rio had to try this a few more times before he was able to create a favorable situation.

all.

'Well I also have Jin to thank for that...'

Rio and Jin trained together for a while as Jin wanted to learn sword intent, at that time, Rio

got to see the portal opening abilities of an SS-ranker from a very close distance for a very

long time.

With his insane 'Sword Aptitude' Rio was easily able to imitate and learn that skill for himself

even if barely.

All Rio needed to do was assume the 'Space-time' fabric itself as his 'sword' then 'Sword

Intent' would apply to it too.

Although it sound simple, unless you have insanely high 'Sword Aptitude' you can't

accomplish this insane feat of copying an SS-rankers unique ability.

[Vinash: Re-Summon!]

Rio re-summoned his sword as he had abandoned it to dodge the attack.

With the sword once again in his hand a rare smirk appeared on Rio's face.

'Now will be the most difficult part...'

After losing all allies to an opponent, Rio will definitely get a bit angry at the opponent and

the attacks will be more dangerous.

'Here it comes...'

*BOOM!*

The clone took his stance and placed the sword beside his waist.

His eyes stared at Rio and it had the same expressionless face as him.

The clone then used 'Time Type: Thousand Mirages' to attack. That skill fires thousand condensed time elemental arcs in all directions.

And If you get touched by it even in the slightest, the body part that got touched by it will

rapidly age and will turn into dust.

Moreover, this skill was learned from Alverto and then modified by Rio, it can easily pass

right through his shadow robe.

The reason the clones didn't use it before was because this skill is uncontrollable and it will

target everything in the vicinity.

It can only be used when you are having a one versus one battle with someone.

'I have to acknowledge it... you are quite the high quality copy of me...'

Rio smiled at the face of danger and was very satisfied with these mimics.
