Chapter 428 [428] A way to defeat the Crystal Enigma.

[|DRAGON EYES| have been used!]

Using the brief moment of time I had before the other me would use the same skill and decimate me with it, I hurriedly followed Lanesha's instructions and tried to find whatever weakness I could in the information shown to me by the dragon's eyes.

_____

[Name: Enigma Of Crystal.]

Rank: Dependent.

Strength: Dependent.

Endurance: Dependent.

Magic: Dependent.

Agility: Dependent.

Charm: Dependent.

Intelligence: Dependent.

Affinities: Dependent.

Description: An enigmatic monstrosity aptly known as the "Dependant," as it thrives on mirroring your every move, echoing your every power, yet remains untethered by your vulnerabilities and frailties.

It copies everything about you, whatever you do, even if there is no need for it. It will do it.

Since it is bound by none of the restrictions the one it is copying possesses, thus defeating it is quite tricky.

It follows whatever you do, if you use mana, it will use mana to overpower you.]

Just as I had read the description, the world itself seemed to stop as I realized the other me was now using the dragon's eyes as well.

'Shit…'

I cursed, as I was unable to move my body.

The dragon eyes the other me was using were now enhanced with chaos…and also being used to their full potential.

'Hah…I'm fucked.'

I said, preparing myself for what was about to come.

I could feel it…something was making its way towards me…Something that could kill me.

Even though the other me was in my line of sight, whatever he was attempting was not. I could not see it but could sense it.

And that made it even more terrifying.

And what could I do…? Nothing. The world seemed to have stopped and my body stopped with it. I could do nothing.

Or at least I thought.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha orders you to release your mana right now!]

Without a second of hesitation, I followed Lanesha's command and dispelled all the mana from my body. I could not move but I could still do this.

All the mana that I was using to enhance my body was dispelled, and 'whatever' was coming at me finally struck me.

Instead of pain, I only felt a weird feeling encompassing me and faded away quickly.

'...thanks.'

I thanked Lanesha, her advice had prevented my death.

[Supreme Dragon of Frost Lanesha has fallen asleep.]

But her advice came with a cost, because of her interfering with the trial, and going against the supposed 'laws' I had heard of from Ariel…

She suffered the same fate as Suleras.

She could no longer help me.

'Thanks…'

I thanked her for her help once again, and although I was sad, glooming over it right now would be bad for me.

I looked at the other me, and I saw him coming towards me, having also dispelled the mana from his body.

'It does whatever I do…if I use mana, it will also do it.'

I recalled whatever I could from the description shown to me by the dragon's eyes.

The other me, or rather the Crystal Enigma, was not using Chaos mana to enhance itself now, nor was it using mana at all.

'Just like me.'

I thought. The moment I dispelled the mana from my body, it had done the same.

"Haha…"

I let out a slight laugh, finally filled with some hope.

If I will use mana, then it will do the same, if I don't…it won't.

Simple as that.

But what If I don't? What if I fight it with raw power only?

Then it will also do the same.

"Huuu…"

Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself down and calculated my chances.

I have a chance if it's a physical fight, a significant chance. I can't win against it in Mana ... .but in a physical fight…

I can.

"Come on."

I taunted it and got into my signature Muay Thai Stance.

The grueling months of torture(training) I spent on Terra Damnum…the beatings I tool from Master.

Come on, I will show you the result now!

"Fine."

The other me said, and rushed at me, I, instead of charging in, stayed calm.

Since it copies me, it will also be using my techniques…So I have to catch it off guard.

It twisted its body and raised its fists to punch me, I blocked the punch with my arms.

"Ha!"

I let out a small triumphant laugh. Without chaos mana strengthening it my body can handle it!

"Come on!"

Before It could retract its arm, I grabbed its arm and threw it over my shoulder with nearly all my strength.

The ground beneath us shakes as his figure is slammed into it. Without giving him a moment of respite, I was about to mount him and land punches straight on his face.

But alas, it did not go according to plan. It had rolled away before I could try to do so.

In a hurry, I raised my leg high and tried to ax-kick it but the other me dodged it.

The heel of my foot dug into the ground, and the Other me raised its hands and landed a flurry of punches on my face.

A few to the chin, knocking my sense of balance off, and a few to the nose.

Thankfully, my nose didn't break.

I took a few steps back, but the crystal Enigma was relentless.

He followed me and stood close, landing more and more punches to my face.

Coughing up blood, I read the trajectory of his next punch and ducked, barely dodging it.

Before he could retract his fist or punch me again, I raised my right elbow and struck his jaw with my full force.

His sense of balance was now off as well, and he was struggling to stand the strong blow, But I was not done yet.

Without giving him a moment to rest, I closed in on him and elbowed his chin, immediately afterward I twisted my body and landed another elbow on his nose, sending him flying.

'I can win.'

I thought.

In hand-to-hand combat, no one except the master can defeat me, not even a clone of myself.
