Half Elf Ranger

Chapter 400 Challenge Reward
"The first round of challenge is successful! The second round is about to begin, half-elf challengers please get ready, this mirror image has 100% of the strength of the challenger."

As soon as the words fell, the magical aura of the mirror began to flicker.

——"Shadow Hand Pie (Enhanced Skill): Shadow Cloak!"

Seeing that the mirror image was being copied in the mirror, Thorn thought, and the figure disappeared into the air.

Regarding his ability to hide, he is still very confident, because he can't even detect his hiding unless he activates the Stance Skill of the Steel Soul Sect "Listen to the Sound Discriminator".

——"Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Leap!"

The successfully copied mirror image seems to be to prevent Thorne from using the same move to guard the vicinity for a sneak attack. Instead of stepping out of the mirror, he chose to activate the teleportation technique to disappear from the mirror, and appeared ten meters to the left of the mirror.

"Pfft!"

However, the moment the mirror image just appeared, a scorching sharp blade that had been waiting for a long time flashed again, and this mirror image with 100% of Thorne's strength was defeated again.

"Sure enough." Seeing the disappearing mirror image, Thorn's sword-holding figure appeared at the original disappearing position.

The reason why he can accurately predict where the mirror image will appear is because he has substituted his own thoughts into the thinking of the mirror image.

He was wondering where he would flash if it was him.

The result is obvious, the two ideas are the same.

In other words, the mirror image not only copied all his abilities, but even his behavior habits were copied exactly.

"The second challenge is successful! The last challenge is about to begin, half-elf challengers please get ready, this mirror image has 120% of the challenger's strength.

Attention half-elf challengers!The last mirror image not only inherited all your abilities, but also deduced other abilities that you have not mastered in advance. "

"Deduced my other abilities in advance?" Thorne was surprised when he heard this sentence.

The so-called 'deduction' means that with his current ability, although he has not yet learned it, it is very suitable for learning this skill.

It's like when he practiced the "Whirlwind Attack" specialty in a high tower, he accidentally met some of the conditions for mastering the "Double Skillful Hands" specialty.

If he can know what abilities the mirror image has deduced in advance, then he will choose to practice these abilities when learning these abilities, so that he can get twice the result with half the effort.

——"Shadow Hand Pie (Enhanced Skill): Shadow Cloak!"

Taking advantage of the mirror copy time, Thorne disappeared without a trace again.

As Thorn's figure disappeared, another figure exactly like himself appeared in the mirror.

However, Thorne, who was observing secretly, felt a palpitating danger and killing intent that could kill him instantly in his appearance.

— "The shuddering stare!"

The moment Thorne looked at the mirror image, his mind was shocked, and a bad premonition immediately rushed to his heart, causing him to bow instinctively.

A sharp knife exuding a scorching aura barely slashed across his head.

——"Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Leap!"

Thorn, who escaped the fatal blow, launched the teleportation technique without hesitation, and distanced himself from the mirror image.

He doesn't know the strength of others, but he is very clear about his own physical condition.

Moreover, this is a mirror image with 120% of his strength, so he naturally understands the consequences of confronting the opponent head-on.

Because all his abilities have been crushed by the opponent by 20%, the chances of winning the challenge by relying on hard power are not very great.

Therefore, he can only use his only advantage first, that is, his flexible and changeable mind to test how smooth and natural the mirror image's attack is.

After all, he is an agile professional, and the most important thing is sword skills.

As a replica, Thorne believed that it was absolutely impossible for the opponent to use sword skills more flexibly than himself.

When he tested the opponent's strength clearly, it was the moment for him to launch a counterattack.

Therefore, Thorn regretted that the first two mirror images were killed a little too quickly, otherwise he would have figured out the flaws of these replicas long ago.

——"Spell-like ability: Fireball!"

As soon as Thorne distanced himself from the mirror image, a large fireball condensed very fast and directly smeared towards his face.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, Thorn, who possessed the proficient level "Reflex Dodge" and the steel soul faction's counter skill "Ahead of Mind", easily dodged the fireball's face.

The aftermath damage of the explosion was also successfully offset by the "Fire Avoidance Art" he activated.

——"Spell-like ability: Fireball!"

Thorne was about to breathe a sigh of relief when another fireball predicted where he was avoiding, and once again slammed into him.

"I'm going! Fireball is cast so fast, does this mean that he has mastered the "Spell-like Instant Cast" feat? "

Thorn's expression changed, and he rolled on the spot in embarrassment, avoiding the frontal explosion of the fireball, and immediately extinguished the clothes ignited by the aftermath of the flame, and couldn't help but exclaim.

If he can master this powerful specialty, then fireballs can be directly changed into continuous fireballs, throwing them all at once, even high-level professionals can't guarantee that they can eat them hard.

——"Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Leap!"

Immediately afterwards, at the moment when the third fireball hit his face, Thorne activated the teleportation technique and disappeared.

——"Desert Wind School (Strike Skill): Flame Star!"

As Thorn's figure appeared behind the mirror, a ball of dazzling white light suddenly burst.

Although this kind of blinding white light is ineffective for mirror images, the sudden flash of light can still play a certain role.

This is like the moment when you are shrouded in strong light. Although the light is not enough to blind you, you will subconsciously choose to avoid it because of this discomfort.

This is the fundamental reason why flash skills can always be surprisingly successful in critical battles.

——"Desert Wind School (Strike Skill): Dragon Flame!"

Seeing that the mirror image paused due to the flash, Thorne seized the opportunity, and the flames that had been brewing surged out of his mouth.

However, the reaction of the mirror image was very fast, and before the flame approached, it had already disappeared using the teleportation technique.

But what surprised the mirror image was that at the moment he appeared, Thorn, who predicted the landing position, had been waiting here for a long time.

——"Desert Wind School (Strike Skill): Flame Star!"

At the same time that a ball of dazzling white light exploded again, the two sharp swords in Thorn's hand also attacked.

"Clang clang clang!"

Thorne was entangled with the mirrored figure, and saw that in this endless space, dense sword lights flickered frequently, sharp blades collided with each other to produce sparks, and the metal screamed in protest not to be outdone.

The opponents that agile professionals are most afraid of encountering are naturally faster enemies than themselves.

The speed of the opponent's sword is obviously faster than his.

Thorne's only advantage is that his sword skills are not as rigid as a mirror image.

Although the mirror image is only 20% more powerful than him, the opponent can only suppress him, but cannot further expand the results of the battle.

After all, these sword skills are honed by oneself in countless battles and trainings, and it is impossible for a replica to master them easily.

Although the battle between the two seemed to be at a stalemate, Thorne clearly felt that the mirror image had mastered a special skill that he did not possess.

That is, every time he launches a counterattack, the opponent can always block his attack accurately, and follow his attack rhythm, launch a counterattack that makes him terrified.

"It turned out to be the specialty of "Concentration on Offense". Do you have any other abilities? "

When Thorn guessed that the mirror image mastered similar defensive counterattack expertise, he immediately stopped the active attack, but focused on defense and continued to test his other abilities.

"Clang clang clang!"

With the continuous confrontation between the two, Thorne has adapted to the slightly rigid attack style of the mirror image, and can easily resist.

Suddenly, he swung his swords violently, flying the two mirrored sharp blades, and while taking a deep breath to brew a powerful move, he staggered backwards pretending to be exhausted.

——"Whirlwind attack!"

At the same time, the fooled mirror image immediately seized this opportunity, waved the two swords in his hands, and danced an impenetrable wall of blades, covering Thorn's figure like a leaf flying in a strong wind.

""Whirlwind Attack" is also mastered. "Thorn resisted, feeling the blade wind raised by the swiftly passing blade frequently passing across his cheeks, and was surprised.

Mastering this skill shows that his previous practice was not in vain, and let him know the direction of future training.

After all, the fire move of the desert wind school combined with the blade storm like a meat grinder is a move he has been fascinated for a long time.

——"Desert Wind School (Strike Skill): Dragon Flame!"

So Thorne, who didn't want to waste time, directly released the brewing flames, enveloping the mirror image again.

——"Shadow Hand School (Teleportation Skill): Shadow Leap!"

Seeing the disappearing figure of the mirror image, Thorn's mouth curled into a smile, because he had already predicted that the other party would come to this move.

A replica is a replica after all, how could it be more flexible than his authentic one.

"Pfft!"

The moment the mirror image fell to the ground, Thorn suddenly appeared, a sword light flashed, the mirror image distorted and disappeared without a trace.

"Mirror World (Easy Difficulty) successfully challenged the third level! Congratulations, half-elf adventurer, this is the reward you deserve!"

As the mirror image disappeared, the ethereal voice sounded again.

Immediately afterwards, Thorne sensed an inexplicable magical power appearing inside his body, so he checked the system bar curiously:

Affected by simulacrum magic, you gain partial information from the Quicken Spell-like feat.

Affected by simulacrum magic, you gain partial information from the Combat Expertise feat.

Affected by simulacrum magic, you gain partial information from the Whirlwind Strike feat.

……

"There is such a magical magic, how much black technology does this destroyed arcane empire have mastered." Seeing the expertise information obtained, Thorne couldn't help sighing.

He once heard Anderina mention that the arcane empire's black technology can directly grant all kinds of powerful special abilities to construct creatures, which is not surprising to mortals.

Although this is part of the expertise information, it does not mean that he has fully grasped it, but at least he has changed from 0 to 1, and has taken the most critical step.

In the future, if you want to fully master these special specialties, it is only a matter of practice time.

"Is the suggestion of the plane manager really out of good intentions?" The really fragrant Thorne couldn't help but think of the scene where the plane manager tried his best to persuade him to enter the small world, but was rejected by him.

It's a pity that he doesn't have that much time. If he was given a choice, he would still choose to refuse.

The only thing that makes him regret is that he doesn't know if he can come here next time.

He wouldn't mind experiencing these magical little worlds if he could.

Just as Thorne was stunned, the whole world distorted for a moment, and his figure appeared again in the scene where he met the manager of the plane.

"I've finished the trial, bring the things here." Thorn found that the equipment on his body hadn't changed in the slightest, activated his stance technique and floated in mid-air, looking at the phantom.

"Since the challenge is successful, as the master of the plane, I will naturally not break my promise, so let's take it." The translucent phantom smiled slightly, as if he had already prepared the things.

She waved her hand lightly, and a quaint ring engraved with mysterious patterns floated in front of Thorne.

"This is a space storage ring?" Thorne activated the "perception magic" feature of the swordsman, but couldn't identify any attributes, so he met the phantom with a smile on his face.

"That's right, this is a space ring. In addition to a soul spar for making tower spirits, there is also a high-level artifact that was produced by all the efforts of the country during the Arcane Empire period to kill gods." Hearing the high-level artifact , a hint of pride floated across the delicate and pretty face of the translucent phantom.

"Then after you possessed this powerful artifact...the Arcane Empire was destroyed, and the God-killing Church's plan to kill God also failed. What I said...isn't it right?"

Thorn looked at the bragging translucent phantom, put away the space ring, and said with a smile: "Since it's such a precious thing, are you so relieved to let me take it back?"

"It's just a projection of the artifact, so don't worry about it. Besides, no one can open the seal on it except certain people." Xu Ying didn't care about Thorne's ridicule, and explained to him seriously.

"I see, send me back." Thorn suppressed the turmoil in his heart.

"Go." The translucent phantom seemed to be in a very good mood. Hearing Thorn's request, he chuckled and waved his hand.

Thorne was directly wrapped in the light of the teleportation circle and disappeared without a trace.

The manager of the plane stared at the disappearing figure of the half-elf, showing a relieved expression.
