Chapter 343: Victory

If it was not for the fight, that news would have been enough to shake him for a long time, but under the intense attacks, he snapped back to reality, focusing on Lilith’s words. He said in disbelief, “You’re saying there’s someone out to attack our homelands!”

“That’s right!” The clone’s skill caused Lilith’s words to be much simpler, since she could not afford to be distracted.

Xiao Lin’s mind was in disarray. If Normese troops appeared on Earth, the results would be disastrous. Planet Norma’s skills and magics could all be used on Earth; that was something they had verified.

It was not impossible for Earth technology to beat them, unless they faced some amazing spell. The damage Earth weapons could deal was palpable, but Xiao Lin realized a more severe problem.

Song Junlang had said that Earth’s laws were already in a very fragile state, not able to withstand any more great impacts. If the Normese scheme succeeded, the presence of such strength on Earth might turn Earth to dust.

Xiao Lin did not think he was some savior; he did not care too much about the entire planet, but when Lilith said those words, his parents appeared in his mind.

His parents had worked so hard to raise him, and did not even have the chance to properly enjoy their lives yet. If they had died with the Earth’s demise, how could he bear with it?

How could he accept it!

He could not die here!

Absolutely not!

Xiao Lin’s eyes slowly lost their glow, and his expression turned cold like the clone’s, but his entire body suddenly unleashed a frightening aura.

Lilith glanced at him in disbelief. “That worked? This brat is way too naive!”

Lilith did not know that Xiao Lin had inferred so much from just her one sentence. With those of them that had come to this planet, familial relationships was something that was easily neglected, but the majority of them had a breaking point. It was why Earth was their homeland, and they would not allow Planet Norma to touch it.

The clone sensed Xiao Lin’s change as well; even if it was a clone with no feelings, it quickly increased its attacks.

Clank!

However, Xiao Lin raised his sword with one hand, easily swatting away the clone’s attack. Inexhaustible energy was wildly rising within Xiao Lin, shocking even himself. As the owner of his own body, he should have been the one who understood it the most, but it did not seem to be the case at that moment.

The origin of the energy was unclear, but Xiao Lin had his guesses. It was that blackhole that appeared in his meditative world. Of course, that was not a real blackhole; it was just a representation that appeared in the meditative world, just like how the elements looked like stars... But what was it?

Xiao Lin could not think about that at the moment; his mind had turned extraordinarily clear and simple. His only goal at that moment was defeating the clone in front of him.

“So, that’s how it is? Is that why you are stronger than me in every attribute?” Xiao Lin said to himself, shaking his head. “No, that’s not right. You can’t use all of this power. You’re just a clone. How could you know what anger is, what feelings are?!”

As he said that, Xiao Lin thrust his sword forward, dashing through the clone in the blink of an eye, appearing behind his foe. The Holy Soul Sword pierced through his opponent’s left shoulder, and its arm was cut off.

“Cut! You really are using the reflexes enhanced by Miracle.” Xiao Lin’s blade had been prepared to cut his foe in half, but the clone did not hesitate to avoid it at the last minute.

“How about Strength then?”

Xiao Lin stopped his movements and did not continue chasing, holding his Holy Soul Sword high and sending a Lightsword at his opponent.

Lightsword’s aura was not quick, but this shot had a shocking area. Even if the clone had time to try to avoid it, it could not escape the attack radius.

Instant kill!

Xiao Lin’s clone was not just cut in half by Lightsword; the intense aura had even cut apart its body, sending it hurtling to the ground.

The increase in his power had been out of his expectations. Xiao Lin stared at his blade in shock, closing his eyes in thought for a few seconds.

He still had Miracle active at that moment; that sort of strength could only be used under the presence of Miracle, using that mysterious blackhole to absorb power to strengthen all his attributes.

It actually had a similar function with Miracle; the only difference was that Miracle changed his attributes, while this power just added onto them.

It was even stronger when he had Miracle active, but could only be used when he was under emotional distress. Xiao Lin closed his eyes, mumbling, “Exceeding Miracle, causing despair in others. Since that’s the case, this state will be called Ruin!”

Xiao Lin looked over to the other side, and Lilith’s battle with the clone was still in the same situation. Feeling like Xiao Lin wanted to help, Lilith suddenly shouted a warning. “Don’t come here! This opponent is mine!”

Xiao Lin shrugged, happy to sit down and watch.

After deactivating Miracle, the strange power in his body receded as well, and a wave of exhaustion and fatigue took its place. He had learned in cla.s.s before: even if a skill could allow them to temporarily exceed their own strength, under Planet Norma’s balance lawas, those skills would be paid back with fatigue.

Miracle was the same; each use would pile on his fatigue, but it was not as severe as it was at that moment. Xiao Lin could not help but smile bitterly, increasing his power temporarily would have to be paid back by resting for a long time?

Lilith had slowly broken through the deadlock. As she withdrew more and more weapons, she started to overwhelm the clone. The clone did not have an SS-rank talent, and did not have the ability to wield those weapons.

After twenty minutes, the battle ended.

The cloned Lilith collapsed with numerous wounds on its body. Xiao Lin looked at the numerous weapons on the floor, smirking as he said, “Compared to before, your combat style has changed.”

“I was forced to; the opponent was hard to handle, but it was quite interesting.”

It seemed like Lilith was quite satisfied with her clone opponent.
