"I guess it was ti to give my thanks to these guys for teaching a lot of things."
Five minutes before Shin's Awakening Quest ca to an end, Mondi and Regan's clones were forced by Shin to move away from him with a powerful wave that he had sent with the use of 'Half-Moon Slash'.
On the other hand, Shin was currently looking at his opponents with a pair of cautious yet excited eyes. Then he took a deep breath to regulate his breathing before putting his sword back to its sheath.
After that, he took a single step forward while squatting his hips a little. At the sa ti, he adjusted the position of his sheathed sword while gently putting his right hand on its hilt, forming a perfect sword drawing stance.
At the sa ti, he also started accumulating a large amount of elental mana of fire and ice from his surroundings and transford them into the powers of the Sun and Moon. Then he fused them together and transford those powers into the power of Eclipse that he recently acquired.
Aside from all of these, Shin also released his 'Aura Manifestation'. And just like before, when he was using his 'Naless Swordsman' identity, the image that his aura projected was a majestic White Tiger.
But at the sa ti, the projected image of Shin's Aura Manifestation was also sowhat different to the usual majestic tiger that he had.
The current Aura Manifestation that he had was white tiger with a pair of golden eyes. The stripes on its forehead ford a pattern of a Chinese King character. There were also two pairs of angelic wings on its back, spreading widely which also made its look even more majestic.
Actually, this was Shin's real image of this White Tiger Manifestation in the real world. He just couldn't project it in the virtual world because he was still adjusting with his virtual body inside the ga.
But he was now able to fully assimilate with his virtual body due to repeated intense training that he had, which also made him able to fully project the image of his real Aura Manifestation.
And once Shin released this Aura Manifestation, both of the clones standing a few ters away from him felt the imnse threat that was giving at them. Due to that, the two of them didn't hold back either and imdiately re-took their battle stances.
Mondi's clone sheathed his katana and also took a sword-drawing stance that was similar to his opponent's posture. At the sa ti, he seed to be focusing amassing a lot of mana on his sheathed sword. From the looks of it, he was also planning to end this battle on this one final clash.
On the other hand, Regan's clone held the hilt of his sword with both of his hands while spreading his legs and squatting his hips a little. He faced Shin's direction sideways as he gathered the surrounding mana for as much as he could. And just like the other clones, this guy also knew that this was the last bout of this battle.
With this incoming exchange, this seemingly endless battle would finally reach its end and the victor was about to be determined. And without further ado, three of them imdiately made their moves.
The clones of Mondi and Regan simultaneously rushed forward while also throwing their attacks at the sa ti.
Mondi's clone pulled his katana from its sheath in a very quick manner and powerfully swung it forward. The blade of his weapon was releasing a golden glow that was giving an impression that it could cut anything that was planning to block its path.
At the sa ti, Regan's clone was also throwing his attack. He lunged forward while pushing his longsword towards his front. The blade of his sword was glowing with a multi-colored light, which also moved in a spiral motion.
anwhile, their opponent was not going to lose either. The mont Shin saw that his opponents were charging towards him, he imdiately gripped the hilt of his sword and strengthened his back as he readied himself to make his move.
He squinted his eyes as he gauged the distance between him and his opponents. And when he saw that both of them entered his attacking range, Shin quickly pulled the [Yamato] from its sheath and swung it forward, releasing the accumulated power of Eclipse that he had.
Shing!
Swoosh!
The energy wave that Shin released this ti was a gray-colored one. And while this energy was charging towards his opponents, it suddenly transford into an image of a white tiger that was charging savagely towards the incoming clones.
This was one of the new skills that Shin had created during his ti in this independent space.
'Class Fighting Style: Eclipse Tiger Draw'
Roar!
Seeing the powerful energy wave, the two clones charging towards it imdiately release a much more powerful mana from their bodies and surround themselves with it. Then they continued their advance while swinging and thrusting their swords forward.
Boom!
Naturally, Shin was fully aware that the attack that he just sent was still not enough to end this battle. And while having this thought in mind, he quickly flipped the sword-sheath on his left hand to change his grip on it while transforming its form into a sword with so visible divisions on its blade.
'Legacy Skill: Mondi's Skill: Abyssal Form'
And it didn't just end there because Shin suddenly called out a na after the transformation of his word. "Shadow Reaper: Grimrace."
When those words left his mouth, the speck of black light circling around his body suddenly broke away from him and transford into a human-like figure in a green butler suit with a clown's ruffle collar around its neck.
Imdiately after that, this guy suddenly transford into a black light and wrapped himself around the [Crippling Punisher] on Shin's left hand.
'Elental Spirit Possession (Shadow): (Shin's version) Soul Eater'
When Grimrace fused with Shin's sword, the appearance of his whip-sword suddenly changed along with the aura that it was releasing. The sword now had the appearance of a double-edged short-sword with a black triangular blade. On its surface, there were a bunch of glowing golden runes written in vertical manner as the entire blade was releasing so black smoke.
After that, Shin quickly swung the new whip-sword multiple tis at his opponents in the distance. Then the blade of the sword suddenly increased in length and transford into multiple silhouettes that were whipping towards the clones.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
'Advance Combat Technique: Phantom Punisher'
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The whipping silhouettes suddenly collided with a bunch of lighting balls, which warded off the attacks that Shin and sent.
At the sa ti, a streak of light suddenly charged through the blockade of whipping attacks and rushed towards Shin with an unimaginable speed.
But no matter how fast that dashing figure, Shin responded at it almost instantly and quickly retracted the extended blade of the [Soul Eater] elental sword while powerfully swinging the [Yamato] at the sa ti.
'Extra Skill: Destructive Slash'
Clang!
Bang!
The rushing streak of light suddenly halted in front of Shin when the [Yamato] collided against it.
A mont later, Mondi's clone suddenly materialized in front of Shin while holding his katana against Shin's sword.
With this slight pause of his opponent, Shin quickly took at advantage of the current situation and suddenly thrusted the [Soul Eater] elental sword at Mondi's clone.
But the clone seed to be expecting that and quickly did so consecutive hops backwards to distance himself away from Shin and dodge the forward stab that the latter had sent.
Unfortunately, Shin was also expecting that which made him smirked the mont he saw his opponent's actions. On the next instant, a bolt of dark energy suddenly released from the tip of Shin's sword and flew towards Mondi's clone.
'Legacy Skill: Regan's thod: Shadow Link'
Bang!
Due to being caught off-guard, the clone was hit by the sudden bolt of dark energy and beca immobilized.
And since this sword was reinforced by Grimrace's shadow powers, the shadow ball that Shin had sent dealt a much greater damage compared to its previous version. What's more, the stun effect that ca together with it also increased in duration; it could now immobilize Shin's opponents from a total of 3 seconds.
But before Shin could do his follow-up attack, he felt a bunch of energy balls raining down at him. And when he felt the incoming attacks, he quickly released the Grimrace from his sword before switching the form of his 'Mondi's Style'. This ti, Shin transford it into a sword with a narrow blade and sharp edges.
'Legacy Skill: Mondi's Style: Conviction Form'
And just like before, he imdiately called out a na from among his Reaper's Retainers. "Blood Reaper: Vladimir."
Once he called out the Blood Spirit's na, Vladimir did the sa thing that Grimrace had done; he transford into a light that fused with the rapier that Shin was holding, which also transford the appearance of the sword.
The guard of the sword beca even more western like with its complex patterns, which entirely covered a side of the hilt. On the other hand, the blade of the rapier narrowed even further as its color suddenly turned crimson. There was also a thin mist of blood, covering the entire blade of the sword.
'Elental Spirit Possession (Blood): (Shin's Version) Blood Thirster'
Imdiately after the transformation, Shin quickly threw multiple stabs at the incoming energy balls. And while doing that, his arm suddenly turned into a bunch of blurs that released so crimson flashes, which increased the number of stabs that he sent.
'Extra Skill: Multiple Stabs'
'Advance Combat Technique: Crimson Revolution'
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
With that perfect blockade of stabs, not a single energy balls managed to land on Shin. And when he was done blocking all of the energy balls, he imdiately released Vladimir from his sword before changing the form of the 'Mondi's Style', which was the longsword form.
'Legacy Skill: Mondi's Style: teor Form'
And similar to what he had done earlier, he called out one of the nas of his Elental Companions the mont his sword was done on its transformation. "Void Reaper: Hanzo."
And without further ado, Hanzo transford himself into a light that fused with Shin's longsword and also changed its appearance just like the other two. But unlike the complex designs that the previous swords that he had, this sword just had a simple and dull appearance. It was just a simple sword with a light purple blade and single edge.
'Elental Spirit Possession (Void): (Shin's Version) Dinsion Cutter'
After that, Shin imdiately released the newly improved powers of the Sun and the Moon on each of his swords.
The sword on his right hand suddenly released a white fla with black shades on its surface. At the sa ti, the other sword that he had on his left hand was emitting a black aura with so blinking specks of lights dancing on it.
'Lesser Legendary Combat Technique: Eclipse Wielding'
Mondi's Clone already regained its movents when Shin was done releasing those opposing energies. And imdiately after having his freedom back, he quickly resud attacking Shin.
At the sa ti, Regan's Clone finally arrived beside Shin and quickly coordinated with Mondi's Clone while throwing his attacks.
Even if he was being besieged by the barrage of attacks from his opponents, Shin was still keeping his calm and collected attitude as he defended himself with the 'Infinity Edge' combat technique.
Executing both 'Eclipse Wielding' and 'Infinity Edge' at the sa ti might put a lot of burden on Shin's concentration. But he was quite confident that his willpower could hold himself at using these two high-class combat techniques for at least five minutes.
And since he was pretty much familiar with the attacks of his opponents now, holding himself against these clones was much easier compared to his first encounter with the two of them.
With all these, the last five minutes of his Awakening Quest finally co to an end. And even if he didn't manage to completely defeat the two clones, he was still able to survive until the end of his quest, which was also the main task that he needed to do since the start of this quest.
"Tsk! I can't help but be greedy every ti I think about the bonus rewards of my quest. But if it is really not ant for , then it is better if I just stop pushing it and avoid having so accidents," muttered Shin as he took a quick glance at the digital clock of his quest.
And when those words left his mouth, the long-awaited system notifications finally ca and sounded like sweet music on his ears.
