Chapter 1481: Falling apart
However, at the last minute, Rain moved his left hand and grabbed the enemy’s sword... the blade sliced through his hand, but not that much... while blood was falling from the hand, Rain smiled.
Level 20: Intangible Sword - It is a mystical ability that allows its user to imbue their weapon with the power of intangibility. When activated, the blade of the sword becomes incorporeal, able to pass through solid objects and barriers as if they were mere illusions. Cost: 1000 mana per second.
Rain learned the technique immediately since it was the last skill used on the weapon... at the same time, the ominous sword cut quite deeply into the neck of the copy, and blood gushed from the wound, but the copy didn’t react in any way. It just jumped away to avoid Rain.
"This isn’t a technique from the information path..." Rain thought. "It must be from one of the species that the machine gods defeated. Well, it is time for the second part of the plan."
As the copy of Rain paused in its movements, a sense of unease settled over the battlefield. It was as if some internal program within the creature had engaged, prompting it to reassess its strategy before proceeding further.
During this brief interlude, Rain couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope. The previous exchange of attacks had worked in his favor, leaving the creature momentarily vulnerable despite its formidable regenerative abilities. Though the wound in its neck had already begun to close, the delay bought Rain precious seconds to plan his next move.
But even as he contemplated his next course of action, Rain remained wary. He knew that the creature’s apparent hesitation could be a prelude to a more devastating assault, and he needed to be prepared for whatever came next.
"Come and get it, jackass," Rain said. "I will show you that my handsomeness, intelligence, and skill can’t be replicated by the likes of you."
The copy understood the words but ignored their meaning despite charging at Rain... In the end, they mirrored each other’s sword attacks, and then the weapons passed each other... until they touched each other’s skin. However, Rain soon disappeared after turning into static for a moment, and the ominous sword sliced through the shoulder of the monster.
