Chapter 346: Unbreakable Sutra
Blade firmly gripped his sword, his knuckles turning white, staring at Rose with a deep frown: "Awakening your powers doesn’t mean you have won. You aren’t the only one with bloodline powers."
The latent spirit energy in the arena violently shifted. A thick, oppressive red light started emanating from his body, fundamentally altering his aura as he slowly ascended into the air: "I am from the Lucio family, we bled and die for the empire... I will not back down to anyone!"
His eyes turned blood-red, signifying the absolute activation of his family’s ancestral trait. The next moment, the fabric of reality folded; he multiplied seamlessly, and all ten identical figures shot forward with supersonic speed.
Rose didn’t hesitate. Drawing upon her newly unlocked visual acuity, and with a wave of her hand, highly condensed light energy balls appeared all over the place. They locked onto the advancing figures and shot forward, all heading towards a specific target she believed was the true body.
BAM!!
The attack smashed flawlessly into Blade, but instead of the illusion shattering, a brutal, invisible force violently rebounded. Rose plummeted, and vomited a massive mouthful of dark blood.
’So that is his ability... He used illusion to create clones, and once these clones takes damage, it reverted the damage back to the attacker... But, the main issue here.’ She wiped her chin, forcing herself to stand as she moved her newly awakened, pure white gaze around the clones hovering aggressively around her.
’I don’t know the real one, even with my eyes... Why can’t I see through him?’ She thought, her confidence shaking. The Lucio family’s illusions weren’t just optical tricks; they were localized reality marbles that bypassed Soul Eyes’ first stage.
"Miss Rose... It’s an honor to fight you... But this will end here."
Blade’s voice sounded from everywhere at once, echoing all over the arena, as all the clones moved rapidly around her, forming an inescapable circle, perfectly placing her at the center of the trap.
