Half-elf Ranger

Chapter 400: Challenge reward

"The first challenge is successful! The second game is about to begin. Please prepare for the half-elf challenger. This mirror image has 100% of the challenger's strength."

As soon as the voice fell, the magical aura of the mirror began to flicker.

——“Shadow Hand School (Enhanced Skill): Shadow Cloak!”

Seeing that the mirror image was being replicated in the mirror, Thorne's thoughts moved, and the figure disappeared into the air.

He is still very confident in his ability to hide, because even he can't detect his hiding unless he activates the Steel Soul Sect's stance technique "Listening Device".

——“Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Leap!”

The mirror image that was successfully copied seems to be to prevent Thorne from using the same move to guard nearby sneak attacks. Instead of walking out of the mirror, he chose to launch a teleportation technique to disappear from the mirror and appear ten meters to the left of the mirror.

"Pfft!"

However, when the mirror image just appeared, a long-awaited scorching blade flashed again, and the mirror image with 100% of Thorne's strength was defeated again.

"Sure enough." Seeing the disappearing mirror image, Thorne's sword-wielding figure appeared where he had disappeared.

The reason why he was able to accurately predict where the mirror image appeared was because he put his own thoughts into the thinking of the mirror image.

He wondered where he would go if it were him.

The results are obvious, the two ideas are the same.

That is to say, the mirror image not only copied all his abilities, but even his behavior habits were copied exactly the same.

"The second level challenge is successful! The last game is about to begin, please prepare for the half-elf challenger. This mirror image has 120% of the challenger's strength.

Attention half-elf challengers! The last mirror image not only inherits all your abilities, but also deduces other abilities that you have not yet mastered in advance. "

"Did my other abilities deduce in advance?" Thorne was surprised when he heard this.

The so-called "deduction" means that with his current ability, although he has not yet learned it, it is very suitable for the ability to learn this skill.

It's like when he used to practice the "Whirlwind Attack" feat in the tower, but inadvertently achieved some of the conditions for mastering the "Double Hands" feat.

If he can know what abilities the mirror image has deduced in advance, then he will choose to practice these abilities when he learns these abilities, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort.

——“Shadow Hand School (Enhanced Skill): Shadow Cloak!”

Taking advantage of the mirror copy time, Thorne disappeared again without a trace.

As Thorne's figure disappeared, a figure identical to himself soon appeared in the mirror.

However, Thorne, who was observing secretly, felt a palpitating danger in his appearance and a killing intent that could kill him instantly.

- "Tremble stare!"

When Thorne and the mirror looked at each other, his heart was shocked, and a bad premonition immediately flooded his heart, causing him to bow instinctively.

A sharp blade emitting a scorching aura slid across his head.

——“Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Leap!”

Thorne, who escaped the fatal blow, unhesitatingly activated the teleportation technique to distance himself from the mirror image.

He does not understand the strength of others, but he is very clear about his own physical condition.

Moreover, this is a mirror image with 120% of his strength, and he naturally understands the consequences of confronting the opponent head-on.

Because all of his abilities have been crushed by 20% by the opponent, the odds of winning by relying on hard power are not great.

Therefore, he can only use his only advantage, which is his flexible mind, to test how smooth and natural the mirror's attack is.

After all, he is an agile professional, and the most important thing is swordsmanship skills.

As a replica, Thorne believes that it is absolutely impossible for the opponent to use sword skills more flexibly than himself.

When he tested the opponent's strength, it was the moment when he launched a counterattack.

Therefore, Thorne regrets that the first two mirror images killed a little too quickly, otherwise he would have found out the flaws of these replicas.

- "Spell-like ability: Fireball!"

As soon as Thorne distanced himself from the mirror image, a large fireball that condensed very quickly smeared directly towards his face.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Thorne, who has the mastery level "Reflection Evasion" and the Steel Soul faction's "Be Careful" skill, easily dodged the fireball's face.

The damage of the aftermath of the explosion was also successfully offset by the "Fire Avoidance Technique" he activated.

- "Spell-like ability: Fireball!"

Thorne was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when another fireball predicted where he was dodging, and came towards him again.

"I'm going! The fireball is released so fast, is this the mastery of the "spell-like instant cast" feat? "

Thorne's expression changed, and he rolled on the spot very embarrassed, dodging the frontal explosion of the fireball, and immediately extinguished the clothes ignited by the aftermath of the flame, and couldn't help but exclaim.

If he can master this powerful expertise, then the fireball can be directly changed to Lianzhu fireball, and throw all the brains out, even high-level professionals can't guarantee that they can eat it hard.

——“Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Leap!”

Immediately afterwards, at the moment when the third fireball smeared his face, Thorne activated the teleportation technique and disappeared.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Strike Skill): Flame Star!”

With Thorne's figure appearing behind the mirror, a dazzling white light suddenly burst.

Although this blinding white light has no effect on mirror images, a sudden flash of light can still play a role.

This is like the moment when you are enveloped by strong light. Although the light is not enough to cause blindness, you will subconsciously choose to avoid it because of this discomfort.

This is the fundamental reason why flash skills are always surprisingly successful in critical battles.

- "Desert Wind Sect (Strike Skill): Dragon Flame!"

Seeing that the mirror image's movement was stunned by the flash, Thorne seized the opportunity, and the long-brewed flames rushed out of his mouth.

However, the response of the mirror image was very fast, and before the flames approached, they had already used the teleportation technique to disappear.

But what surprised the mirror was that at the moment he appeared, Thorne, who predicted the landing position, had been waiting here for a long time.

——“Desert Wind Sect (Strike Skill): Flame Star!”

At the same time as a dazzling white light burst again, the two sharp swords in Thorne's hand also attacked.

"Clang clang!"

Thorne was entangled with the image of the mirror image. In this endless space, the dense sword light flickered frequently, the sharp blade and the sharp blade kept colliding with sparks, and the metal screamed in protest.

Agile professionals are most afraid of encountering opponents, and naturally they are enemies faster than themselves.

The opponent's sword speed is obviously faster than his.

Thorne's only advantage is that his swordsmanship isn't as rigid as a mirror image.

Although the mirror image is only 20% stronger than him, the opponent can only suppress him and cannot further expand the results.

After all, these swordsmanship skills are honed by themselves in countless battles and trainings, and it is impossible for a replica to easily master it.

Although the battle between the two seemed to be deadlocked, Thorne clearly felt that the mirror had mastered a special skill that he did not possess.

That is, every time he launched a counterattack, the opponent was always able to accurately block his attack, and also launched a counterattack that made him terrified according to the rhythm of his attack.

"It turned out to be the "Defense and Offense" specialty, are there any other abilities? "

When Thorne guessed the similar defensive and counterattack expertise that the mirror mastered, he immediately stopped the active attack, but focused on defense and continued to test his other abilities.

"Clang clang!"

With the continuous confrontation between the two, Thorne has adapted to the slightly stiff attack method of the mirror image, and can resist with ease.

Suddenly, he swung his two swords vigorously, flying the two sharp blades of the mirror image, and then took a deep breath and brewed a powerful move, while staggering backwards pretending to be helpless.

- "Whirlwind Attack!"

At the same time, the fooled mirror immediately seized this opportunity, swung the two swords in his hands, and danced a wall of impermeable blades, which completely enveloped Thorne's figure like a leaf flying in a gust of wind.

"The "Whirlwind Attack" has also been mastered. Thorne resisted, while feeling the wind of the rapidly passing blade sweeping across his cheeks, and was surprised.

Mastering this skill shows that his previous practice has not been in vain, and lets him know the direction of future training.

After all, the fire-type moves of the Mofeng faction combined with the meat grinder-like blade storm were his long-awaited moves.

- "Desert Wind Sect (Strike Skill): Dragon Flame!"

So Thorne, who didn't want to waste time, directly cast the brewed flames and shrouded the mirror again.

——“Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Leap!”

Seeing the disappearing figure of the mirror image, Thorne's mouth twitched into a smile, because he had long predicted that the other party would come.

After all, a replica is a replica, how could it be more flexible and changeable than his real brand.

"Pfft!"

The moment the mirror image landed, Thorne suddenly appeared, a sword light flashed, and the mirror image distorted and disappeared without a trace.

"Mirror World (Easy Difficulty) The third level challenge is successful! Congratulations, you half-elf adventurer, this is the reward you deserve!"

As the mirror image disappeared, the ethereal voice sounded again.

Immediately afterwards, Thorne noticed an inexplicable magical power inside his body, so he curiously checked the system bar:

Affected by simulacrum magic, you gain partial information on the Quicken Spell-Like feat.

Affected by simulacrum magic, you gain partial information on the "Defense versus Offense" feat.

Affected by simulacrum magic, you gain some information on the Whirlwind Attack feat.

...

"There is still such magical magic, how much black technology this destroyed arcane empire has mastered." Seeing the obtained expertise information, Thorne couldn't help but sigh.

He had heard Anderina mention that the arcane empire's black technology and even constructive creatures can directly endow various powerful specialties, which is not surprising to mortals.

Although these are partial expertise information, it does not mean complete mastery, but at least he has changed from 0 to 1, taking the most critical step.

If you want to fully master these special expertise in the future, it is only a matter of practice time.

"Is the suggestion of the plane manager really out of good intentions?" Thorne, who was really fragrant, couldn't help but think of the scene where the plane manager persuaded him to enter the small world, and then was rejected by him.

It's a pity that he doesn't have that much time. If he was given a choice, he would choose to refuse.

The only thing he regrets is that he doesn't know if he can come here next time.

If he could, he wouldn't mind experiencing these magical little worlds.

Just as Thorne was stunned, the whole world twisted, and his figure reappeared in the scene where he met the plane manager.

"I've completed the trial, bring the things here." After finding that the equipment in his body had not changed at all, Thorne activated his stance and floated in the air, looking at the phantom.

"Since the challenge is successful, as the master of the plane, I will naturally not break my promise, take it." The translucent phantom smiled slightly, as if it had already prepared things.

I saw her wave her hand gently, and a simple ring with a mysterious pattern floated in front of Thorne.

"Is this a space storage ring?" Thorne activated the "perceived magic" feature of Kendo, but could not identify any attributes, so he met the smiling phantom.

"Yes, this is a space ring. In addition to a soul spar for making tower spirits, there is also a high-level artifact that was made to kill gods with all the efforts of the whole country during the Arcane Empire." Hearing the high-level artifact , a hint of pride appeared on the delicate and pretty face of the translucent phantom.

"Then after you possessed this powerful artifact... the Arcane Empire was destroyed, and the God-killing Church's God-killing plan also failed. I said... that's right?"

Thorne looked at the boastful translucent phantom, put away the space ring, and said with a smile, "Since it's such a precious thing, are you so relieved to let me take it back?"

"It's just a projection of the artifact, there's nothing to worry about. Besides, no one can open the seal on it except for certain people." The virtual shadow didn't care about Thorne's ridicule, and explained to him seriously.

"I see, send me back." Thorne suppressed the waves in his heart.

"Go." The translucent phantom seemed to be in a very good mood. Hearing Thorne's request, he chuckled and waved his hand.

Thorne was directly wrapped in the light of the teleportation circle and disappeared without a trace.

The plane manager stared at the disappearing figure of the half-elf, showing a relieved expression.
