Chapter 146: Two-faced lie(10)
Cades felt his heart stop for a moment and he looked besides himself and saw his other self, smiling overconfident as always, presumably having warped himself to stand right next to him, something the other him seemed to resort to a lot more often than he himself was used to, perhaps also because of the other him's much greater skill, even having been able to destroy the stupidly powerful wooden planks with such laughable ease that Cades had been feeling a slight hint of fear crawl up inside of his heart, a fear that he could not explain, and a kind of envy, envy off the other him's skills, skills that are incomparably better than his own in almost every way, aside from, as the other him had claimed, his ability of reading others intentions, but what was he even able to do with that right now if the other him would just read the movements of others..
He didn't even realize that there were now two ehetrians that had pushed themselves up from the darkness, both clad in a kind of black robe that covered everything and long, powerful black wings, just as Cades had once been, the only difference being that they were slightly shorter and one of them was a woman, the one with a relatively long spear, consisting of a wooden shaft of about six feet and a metal tip that glinted with the silver that seemed to even permeate his own consciousness by now, perhaps having infiltrated after he had seen it all for so long.
The other one, the male ehetrian that had pushed himself up was clad in the dark robes as well, had the same dark wings and short hair, the female one having long straight hair, and he had a sword, the exact same silver sword that Cades himself wielded, and the same one that his other self had mounted on his belt within the scabbard that had come out of nowhere together with the dagger that he didn't have for some reason.
No, before he could even react to all of that, barely even registering it in the back of his mind, his other self pushed him away, his entire body flying for some reason and being picked up by a weird gust of wind that Cades now realized was tinted with a great amount of mana, resulting in him only being able to sit back and watch the now grinning Cades fight, something his other self seemed to enjoy quite a bit.
