Chapter 137 The Final Trial



The sensation of his bones breaking and his organs rupturing, the cracks on his skin that bled immediately after. It was too much for a normal human to go through, even he needed some time to rest after going through such an ordeal.

[ The final trial is starting, good luck player. ]

A bright light flashes as Reign gets teleported from the white room. He was now standing in a big, dark hall. In fact, it wasn't only him, all of the others were teleported into the same trial space as he was. They all looked around themselves, but there was nothing in it, only black walls were around them.

[ The final trial has started, fight. ]

The description of the final trial was shockingly simple. Before any of them could even try to understand it footsteps could be heard and a figure was slowly approaching from the distance.

Everyone was surprised upon recognizing the figure, they should be, it was someone all of them were the most familiar with, themselves.

Yes, the final trial was fighting against a copy of themselves. The copy had the same level and almost all of their skills, each would have to fight and find out what was the weakness of the copies before they could be victorious.

Standing on the cold floor of the hall all of them were frozen on the spot. They all watched the slightly dark copies of themselves that were simply staring at them. There was no emotion on the copy's face, they all wore a blank expression as they slowly took out their weapons and got ready to fight.

Reign draws his two swords from his waist as he sees the copy do the same, only that the difference was that his copy was only wielding the katana while the broken sword was still in its sheath.

Before Reign could think of why the copy was only wielding one sword it attacks. Lightning flickers around as it immediately used lightning body together with lightning stab to immediately stab at Reign who was barely able to block the attack. He flies off towards the wall and smashes against it. The wall cracks as his body left a dent on it, he immediately bounces himself from it as lightning starts flickering around him as well.

Clang!

The two lightning-clad figures turn into blurs as they attack each other with a flurry of blows. Even though Reign was using both of his swords he was unable to gain the upper hand, it was actually the copy that was pressuring him with the katana. Each blow of the katana had a lot of weight behind it as the copy was using both of his hands to wield it, sometimes it would even release the grip with its left hand as it used it to grab Reign's other hand before he could slash at it.

Reign was flabbergasted by the copy's fighting style. He mostly used only one hand to slash with his sword previously while only sometimes using his free hand to attack or block blows like that, the swiftness and the response the copy had were both top-notch as it was able to neutralize any attack Reign threw at it at the very beginning.

Reign suddenly jumps up as he kicks the copy on the chin. As the copy's hands were both full it doesn't manage to block, it slightly presses its body forward while leaning its head on the side to minimize the power of Reign's kick. The mana powered kick was still able to blow the copy away with its power though and Reign was now standing while looking down at his two swords. His strategy of using both of them to fight had hit a dead end, the copy was the same as his, and it was evident that his dual-wielding proficiency still had a long way to go before reaching his prowess with only one weapon.

He sheaths his katana, it was sharper and longer compared to his broken sword, but Reign was used to it as it has been with him for a while now. He smiles as he looks at the incoming copy. He holds the sword with both hands they clash again. Lightning and wind blew everywhere as they were evenly matched.

"Hahahahaha, yes, continue." Wolf was bleeding as he charged towards his copy while laughing madly. The copy used a similar fighting style like him as it changed the weight of the sword mid-swing for maximum efficiency. The difference was that compared to Wolf who would make his sword as heavy as possible for each attack the copy would sometimes do the opposite. It sounded crazy but the effect was obvious.

Wolf was tricked a couple of times as he tried to block the attack, only to find out that the impact of the blow was much lighter compared to what he expected, what awaited him right after it was a flurry of blows the copy would send his way with the now light greatsword.

Fire was burning everywhere as the stones were blackened further by it. The copy's stoic expression was extremely different to Wolf who had a crazy smile on his face.

Shadow on the other hand was pressured by his copy right at the beginning. They both summoned the shadow servants at the beginning and they were all already wiped out by the two of them. The copy was using the two daggers extremely efficiently as it sometimes would even throw one high in the air before drawing out the blood dagger from its waist to slash at the surprised Shadow before quickly returning it and catching the airborne dagger. Shadow already had a small cut on his arm, the cut was shallow and nothing dangerous, but the poison from the dagger was working and he was going through excruciating pain.

Tank on the other hand had an easier time. He managed to block every attack of the copy perfectly so far, but he also didn't land a single hit. His low proficiency with the scythe was obvious here as neither of the two was able to use it effectively. For now, he was simply going slowly while trying to figure out a way to defeat himself.

Beast was in a shooting match with the copy as arrows were everywhere. Both of them were relentless with their archery as they were evenly matched so far. They both had some wounds on their bodies, but they were mostly scratches from the arrows. Neither had used their wolves yet, and it seemed like they were not planning on doing it any time soon.

Laura on the other hand was in a tough spot as her copy had immediately sprung into action. The copy was completely different from her as it used her mana to strengthen itself immediately and attack her with kicks and punches. Laura tried her best to respond, but her lack of fighting experience made her take a couple of hits.

The copy wasn't flawless as its hand-to-hand combat was at the same proficiency level as her, but the sheer amount of attacks and the aggressiveness of it was what made it so difficult to deal with.

Back to Reign, the hall was in shambles. Many parts of the wall were cracked as both he and the copy were in a bad state. The copy had used everything so far, even the star power of the katana to which Reign was barely able to respond as he was holding his broken sword. Lightning was present in the hall as both were again clashing.

Lightning stab, lightning body, compact punch, every single skill Reign had was used by the copy during the fight. Reign was still clueless at what to do and he was simply doing his best to attack and respond to the copy's attacks.

Slowly he was starting to get exhausted, the copy was of course in the same state as both of them had gone all out since the beginning of their battle. Switching his katana with the broken sword Reign immediately used its skill as he lunged at the copy with full force. This time it was the copy that wasn't able to respond in time as its body was blown back while its leg was cut.

Reign pressures it further as he speeds up towards it right away. Unfortunately, that was all he was able to do before the copy switched weapons as well and countered him with the now full sword.

Reign clicks his tongue in frustration as they clash. How was he supposed to beat an enemy that had everything he had?

"Idiot." A bored voice was heard in his head. Reign was able to recognize the voice immediately as it was his own. He knew it was the dark him that resided deep inside of his soul.

"You're still fighting against it, against yourself." The voice continues talking as Reign dodges a slash targeted at his head. He immediately counterattacks with a downward slash which the copy blocks before turning its sword sideways to let his sword slide to the side.

"It's not a perfect copy, after all, they can't copy our power Reign." The voice talks again as Reign widens his eyes slightly before firing off a lightning bullet that the copy avoids.

"Don't worry, I'm not trying anything here, you already have access to a part of it anyway, I'm simply bored by your cluelessness."

Reign stands straight with his eyes closed as the copy attacks him. Suddenly he opens his now pure-white eyes as he leans back slightly to avoid the blow. The slightly pale blue lightning he wielded clashes with the copy's and wins, albeit barely.

He was not used to controlling his other ability yet, and it was only able to slightly increase his power, but that was enough. The battle was now in Reign's favor as he was slightly stronger than the copy now. The difference wasn't large, but it was enough for him to take the upper hand. More than 10 minutes later Reign was standing in front of the copy. He was battered and bloody but he had managed to win as he plunged his sword through the copy's heart.

In the other halls, a similar sight could be seen as all of them were victories against their copies. Each was different, Wolf managed to find out that his copy didn't have the volcanic fist which he used to later defeat it.

Tank's copy didn't have the mana shield that he used to block an attack when the copy used the scythe's ability. As he used it later he was able to kill the copy after the effect had worn off and it was weakened.

Laura won after using long-range attacks as the copy was unable to do the same, she came very close to losing however as the copy used the gloves attack skill at one point. Beast was lucky that the copy didn't have Blackie, he was able to find that out after the copy summoned the wolves. After that he and Blackie worked together to kill it.

Shadow was bloody all over as he stood next to the body of the copy. The copy didn't have the skill he only managed to comprehend in the white room after the second trial. He named it shadow spikes because that was what it was. He was able to puncture through the copy's legs right before the copy was able to deliver a deadly blow to him. After it had lost its mobility the battle was pretty much over.
