Chapter 40: Duel against yourself
Noah swaggered into the final chamber of the temple, a vast, circular arena floating in a void of swirling arcane energy.
The walls, if they can even be called that, flickered between realities, showing glimpses of battlefields, ruins, and endless storms.
At the center of the arena, a mirror-like portal rippled and distorted before forming into a perfect reflection of him.
A game system notification appeared as soon as this happened.
{Trial 3: Duel against yourself!}
{Objective: Defeat the Arcane Reflection!}
Noah tilted his head, smirking, wanting to say ’oh, this is cute’ but then thinking of how many times he’s said cute today already, he coughed and looked at the reflection. "You think you can beat me by copying me?"
His reflection perfectly mirrored his smirk, slightly unnerving Noah.
Every detail was perfect; his stance, his confidence, even the way that his fingers twitched in anticipation, this reflection mirrored it all.
"Damn! The A.I controlling you must be really expensive". He chuckled.
This reflection looked no different from him but Noah knew better than anyone, perfection isn’t about copying.
