BXBX NOVEL Chapter 884 Illusions
"Damn... I don\'t understand anything..." Nicole frowned, also trying to figure out which of the illusions was the real Reto. She narrowed her eyes trying to see some difference, but it was to no avail.
"Hey, this test isn\'t for you, it\'s for Frigus. If you want to know more about my abilities then come to my forest and fight me." Reto smirked as one of the illusions came up behind Nicole and rubbed her hair.
"You\'re real!" Nicole exclaimed, attacking the illusion. She was quick, so in a heartbeat, her palms pierced Reto like a spear, but his silhouette just disappeared like a mirage.
"Enough." Frigus said seriously as his stern gaze went to Nicole, "Don\'t interfere. You\'ve already made it easy for me, so don\'t you dare say that again."
Even Elegan had trouble controlling Nicole since she was only doing what she wanted, but when Frigus became serious, she quieted down and clung to Wain with pouty cheeks.
"That\'s interesting." Wain smirked as he put one leg on the other, "Frigus, do you think you can handle it?"
Frigus was silent until he said with a slight nod, "Sure. These illusions are perfect. Even if I were given a hundred years to consider them as museum pieces, I wouldn\'t be able to figure anything out, however, there\'s another way to know which one is real."
"Hmm? How are you going to do that?" Reto tilted his head as well as all the illusions.
"If you remove illusions yourself, it will be easy. Of course, you won\'t do it since it doesn\'t make sense, but I can just make you do it." Frigus said calmly while his aura grew stronger.
"What...?" Reto was puzzled as suddenly his eyes went wide as Frigus gripped the hilt of his sword.
At the same moment, Frigus with a deadly ice-cold look swung his sword as an icy energy blade flew toward the five illusions. All Reto simultaneously flinched as the illusions tried to dodge, but as soon as they took a step to the side their bodies were sliced in two.
The blade continued to fly further, it seemed that it was meant to damage the castle, but suddenly a purple magic circle appeared in front of the icy blade and it completely engulfed the blade.
Elegan sighed slightly, shook his head, and said, "Maybe you won\'t try to destroy what I\'ve been building for so long. One attack from you could turn this hall into ruins!"
"Hahaha, I\'m sorry, but I have to say no to you. I must show Reto that his illusions cannot fool me!" Frigus laughed as he stood up, firmly holding the hilt of his sword from whose blade cold steam emanated.
None of these five were the real Reto, but now there were almost half as many illusions, which made Reto frown.
"Hey, you know what I was counting on you to guess. That\'s not exactly how it\'s supposed to go!" Reto said grudgingly with a frown as he crossed his arms over his chest.
\'Well, well, what will Reto do?\' Wain pondered with a slight smile on his face as he watched their confrontation, \'Reto has unusual abilities, but Frigus... Damn, one more attack and he will destroy the remaining seven illusions, one of which is the real Reto.\'
Frigus looked at the remaining illusions and muttered, "My only task is to find out which one of you is real, so if I destroy all the illusions, then I\'ll do it. If you don\'t like something, you should have thought of the terms beforehand."
Whoooooooooosh.
With these words Frigus swung his sword once more, releasing a massive ice blade toward the illusions, that was several times larger than the previous one.
This time Reto was ready to attack, so the seven illusions bounced in different directions, each dodging the blade.
"Hah, that was too easy." Reto said with a confident smirk.
"You\'re so sure of that?" Frigus grinned as his eyes flashed, then the blade split into a multitude of icy shards and blue flashes headed toward the illusions with great speed.
"Fuck!" Reto exclaimed as the shards destroyed four illusions as only three remained.
Elegan swung his hand and several magical circles made the icy shards disappear so they wouldn\'t harm the walls.
\'Hmm, his energy control has gotten much better. He\'s a swordsman, so his physical stats are the most important thing, but he was able to split the ice blade into several pieces and turn it into something else in an instant. Not bad, not bad at all.\' Wain nodded slightly, assessing Frigus\' actions.
"Looks like one more attack and I\'ll know which one of you is the real one!" Frigus spoke as he pointed his sword at the central illusion.
"Pfff, I didn\'t want to get serious, but it looks like I have no choice!" Reto snorted as the illusions shuddered, then they started walking in circles while their silhouettes gradually blurred.
"Hmm...? What\'s going on? What is he doing?" Nicole tilted her head in confusion as she looked at Wain, hoping he would explain it to her.
"Well, Reto shows that twelve illusions aren\'t all he can do." Wain replied with a slight smile.
Whoooooooooooooooosh.
At the same moment, the illusions began to divide as in a few seconds there were more than ten and the number grew steadily.
"Agh, I think that\'s enough." Reto said as he crossed his arms over his chest and three hundred illusions did the same. There were so many that there seemed to be no room left in the hall, as Reto filled everything. Then, all the illusions turned to Frigus, "What will you do?"
Frigus remained silent, he just took a step forward and tilted his sword to the ground as the tip almost touched the floor.
"Three hundred illusions... That\'s impressive, but it just means I have 299 enemies to defeat. Do you really think that\'s a lot?" Frigus uttered in an ice-cold voice before turning into a blue flash.
