Chapter 37: Peri's Clone Can't Be Killed Now!
The moment he used the skill, his sword clashed with the clone sword, which caused a clanging sound, with two damages appearing on top of his head, and his clone's head.
"-50"
"100"
His body shifted on its own, giving his back to Gimmy's clone, which was going to use its AOE skill on him. He didn't mind that, as this skill wouldn't kill him, but his clone would.
"Dash!"
The moment he faced his clone, he totally ignored the second sword moving to stab him as he used his best skill to silence this annoying clone.
"Boom!"
"-35"
"300"
Bloom knew what was going on, as that monster had already shared her remaining Hp among her eight clones, with each one having slightly over six hundred Hp points!
So, despite the high damage he dealt to his clone, it didn't die, but it was almost about to.
"Stab."
"Stab."
"Stab."
"Stab."
"100"
"100"

Four attacks happened so fast that made the clone finally pop up like a bubble of smoke, while he didn't stop there, as the clone of Gimmy had already used its skill over him!
"-5"
"-5"
"-5"
"-5"
The damage was negligent, due to the level difference between Bloom and Gimmy, but it was per second damage, which meant if Bloom persisted to have this damage for another five or six seconds, he would be really in grave danger!
Bloom didn't wait, as he just turned around, and used his second skill over this clone!
"Dash!"
"200"
The clone wasn't near any wall, instead Bloom moved it to the midzone of the hall, beside every other clone there. It was a very risky situation, but he wasn't nervous at all, as he started his own barrage of attacks on this noisy, about to die wizard.
"Stab."
"Stab."
"Stab."
"Stab."
"100"
"100"
"100"

Four attacks with no crits at all hit that stunned wizard, enough to clear its Hp.
However, amidst his attacks, Peri's clone acted and used a healing skill over it, adding one hundred Hp points in this short span of time. Despite that, Bloom wasn't worried, however when he finished his four attacks, the clone was still standing.
'What is going on here?!!' he thought to himself with disbelief!
The clone should be long dead by now, but it was still alive. Bloom wasn't in place to think much now, as other clones were now heading towards him, attacking with their skills.
"Slice."
"200"
He had to move, and this one was a crit. The moment it hit the clone, it popped up, dissipating in thin air like a bubble. As he moved with the effect of the skill, something bad was noticed by him!
'No way! It's a piling up skill!!!'
He was shocked, almost frozen in place when he noticed the fog of that killed clone wasn't dissipating in thin air, instead it went straight towards the next clones, strengthening them.
If this continued, then the last clone would have the same Hp of the monster! despite being only clones of his team, defeating such a monstrous clone wouldn't be an easy feat at all!
His mind then started to think, while he started to subconsciously act.
"Ground breaker!"
The first skill he used was the skill to make him defend against the nearest attack of the clone of the swordsman in the team, where he blocked his sword, turned around himself, and amidst this move he used his escaping skill.
"-20"
"100"
"Dash!"
"Boom!"
He hit San's clone hard to the wall, pinning it there, while he used his sword without stopping.
"Use the materials you have and upgrade your weapons two ranks at least, four ranks maximum!" he suddenly yelled at others, while his sword continued to hack San's clone.
The only way out of here was to make them stronger, and the shortest road to that was through upgrading their gears, which would make the difference against their clones. He couldn't take the last two clones alone, so he needed them to be ready.
However, this was a double edged weapon, as this monster still had the remaining half of its first Hp bar intact, plus the second Hp bar! If each time such supreme skill would be used, and that was the most logical scenario here, then leveling up their gears to max would only solve the current problem, creating another crisis in the future.
He shouldn't look beneath his feet, not against such a cunning monster!
Unfortunately he couldn't kill San's clone at this chance, as he heard the incoming clones closing up on him, so he left after dealing seven hundred total damage to it, while its Hp was above eight hundred!
"Dash!"
He didn't delay and found a gap between the incoming clones, moving fast amidst their ranks, to slam hard on Peri's clone, taking her to the wall next to her.
"Boom!"
"200"
He had the chance to finish her off, as most clones were now far from him, but he didn't do that. He took this chance to glance at the whole hall, where he found that seductive monster in a strange state of being semi transparent, not moving at all.
'So, she can't move during her skill duration? Does that mean if we killed these clones she would be hurt in return?' he thought to himself, while stabbing Peri's clone two times in a row, before turning to the opposite side of the monster, glancing shortly at his team members.
They were busy leveling up their gears. He then stabbed Peri's clone twice again, before looking for his next target amongst the incoming clones.
His sparing of Peri wasn't out of mercy or pity, he selected her to be the last standing clone from the whole group here. a living healer, even with high Hp, wouldn't pose any threat at all!
So, Peri's clone couldn't be killed, not now!
As the clones closed up on him, he didn't waste any more time, and used his escaping skill.
"Dash!"
"200"
His sword penetrated San's clone, while he stabbed him again, to make sure it was now properly killed.
Per usual, the fog dissipated, and other clones got additional Hp! He couldn't use Dash again, as both skills were now in cooldown time, plus his only option now was Peri's clone, and he couldn't kill it now.
'Let's slightly shift the positions, shall we,' he evilly smirked in his mind, while he moved to welcome the incoming swordsman's clone with a stab, then a slice, moving around it, then followed by a stab towards Gored's clone, then used another slice.
He had to do so, as he had to act as the main DPS and Tank for now, until they all finished what they were doing. Keeping these five clones in check wasn't that hard, but Gored's clone started to cause some headache to him, while using the two shields to deflect half of his skills over it.
'This one must be killed now!' he decided, as he used a slice skill over the second swordsman, turning around its body, before he stood now in the perfect position, amidst them all, while Gored was standing between him and the wall where he just killed San at.
"Dash!"
He didn't hesitate, and used his skill to force the body of Gored's clone to the back, slamming it hard to the wall, while pinning it with his sword, and stunning it with his skill.
"200"
'Let's hurriedly kill you in the next five seconds, shall we?' he thought to himself, while pulling out his sword from the stunned body of Gored's clone, as his other sword was stabbing it without delay.
