The sky was still dark, and the moon hung high in the sky.
In the mangrove forest outside the Slum Library:
"Adventurer, if you have no more questions, just walk to the center of the magic array. Once the ritual begins, you will feel a little pain. Just bear with it, "Xia Lian said as she pointed at the black stone platform in the center of the room, excitement flashing in her eyes. She could finally begin this experiment.
Shifeng was oblivious to Xia Lian's thoughts. He nodded and walked into the magic array.
After all was said and done, Xia Lian was a Tier 3 VIP. There shouldn't be any problems. As for the pain, it wasn't a big deal.
In God's Domain, when players were attacked by monsters, they would also feel pain. However, the majority of players chose to accept this setting. They did not set the pain transmission to 0% to increase the realism of the ritual. More importantly, they wanted to improve their combat techniques.
There was an old saying that went, "No pain, no talent." Only by experiencing pain could one remember this lesson. Only by learning from this lesson could one improve. Hence, if one wished to grow in God's Domain, they had to accept this pain.
However, after taking into consideration the tolerance of players, God's Domain had set the pain transmission to 20% by default. Some experts, however, would set the pain transmission to 60% or above to make them more alert. Meanwhile, Shifeng himself had set the pain transmission to 50%. This was a level he was used to.
After Shifeng stood in place, he nodded at Xia Lian, indicating that she could begin.
Moon God's Descent!
Xia Lian began to pray, chanting incantations as her fingers continuously wrote divine runes. Line after line of divine runes floated in the air, rising into the sky. Compared to the previous Tier 3 Spell, she wrote far more divine runes this time.
Despite writing several hundred lines, Xia Lian showed no signs of stopping. Sweat began to drip down her cheeks, and she appeared somewhat exhausted. Meanwhile, the magic array on the ground began to glow with a dazzling silver light as it gradually rose into the sky.
After over ten minutes, a bright beam of moonlight shone on Shifeng's body.
Immediately, a lot of black smoke came out of the Shifeng's body. The black smoke rose up and left the Shifeng's body reluctantly. At this moment, the Shifeng's forehead started to sweat, and his face was pale. He was enduring some sort of intense pain.
Shifeng almost opened his mouth to curse Xia Lian. This was not a matter of a little pain at all. It was extremely, extremely painful, as if his body was about to be torn apart.
If not for the fact that he had played God's Domain for ten years and had long since grown accustomed to pain, he would've most likely started wailing and howling right now.
After a few minutes of moonlight, the black smoke finally left the Shifeng's body. However, it did not disappear. Instead, it formed a black shadow that looked exactly like the Shifeng.
"Adventurer, you have to kill this demon clone to remove the curse. I have to host the ceremony, so I can't help you. You can only rely on yourself," Xia Lian reminded him.
Shi Feng, who was slightly exhausted, used Observing Eyes on the black figure.
[Ye Feng (Demon Doppelganger)] (Elite Rank) Level 4 HP 2,000/2,000
"Elite, is it?" Shifeng's expression turned solemn.
This Demon Doppelganger did not have a lot of HP. Moreover, its Level was the same as his. If this Demon Doppelganger did not have any powerful skills, dealing with it would not be a problem. However, the possibility of that happening was not high.
"Damned Moon Drip! Despicable human! Do you think that by using the complete Moon Drip to reduce my strength, you can defeat me? I'll let you know right now that a lowly human will never be able to defeat a powerful demon! "The Demon Doppelganger appeared to be very angry. It pulled out a black longsword and charged towards Xiang Shifeng.
In the blink of an eye, the Demon Doppelganger arrived before Shifeng. It swung its longsword, bringing out a faint black glow. In the blink of an eye, the black glow split into four, intending to chop Shifeng into pieces of meat.
Extraordinary state!
Shifeng was shocked when he saw such a movement. The Demon Doppelganger's speed completely exceeded the strength of an ordinary Elite. Immediately, he used Parry.
Dang … Dang … Dang …
Shifeng was forced to retreat several steps before he managed to stabilize his body.
If it were not for the complete Moon Drip, the Demon Doppelganger would most likely not be an Elite, but a Special Elite.
"Die!" The Demon Doppelganger showed no mercy. It stabbed its longsword towards Xiang Shifeng's heart. It was none other than Shifeng's Chop.
Shifeng immediately activated Windwalk, abruptly dodging to the side, distancing himself from the Demon Doppelganger.
Since the Demon Doppelganger missed its target, it turned around and activated Windwalk as well, chasing after Shi Feng.
In terms of Strength, Speed, and HP, the Demon Doppelganger held the advantage. Moreover, the Demon Doppelganger also knew the Skills that Shifeng had learned. This situation was extremely disadvantageous for Shifeng.
Seeing that Shifeng was about to be caught, the Demon Doppelganger revealed a cruel sneer. "I know everything that you know. Moreover, I am stronger than you. It is impossible for you to defeat me. Obediently accept your death. This is your destiny."
"Then, do you know this move?" Shifeng faintly smiled. Nine Jian Ying Swords appeared beside him, shooting towards the Demon Doppelganger with a swoosh.
Although the Demon Doppelganger could block the majority of the attacks, there were still a few Abyssal Blade phantoms that managed to pierce its body. Every attack dealt over -30 damage.
"Despicable human, you actually dare to rely on the strength of your weapon. I will let you know that all of this is futile." Saying so, the Demon Doppelganger rushed towards Shifeng, using Thundering Flash.
Seeing the sword lights flying towards him, Shifeng calmly smiled. He then took out two Scrolls from his bag. One was a Speed Scroll, while the other was a Sheep Transformation Scroll. Instantly, Shifeng's speed abruptly increased. With a roll, he dodged Thundering Flash. Immediately, he transformed the Demon Doppelganger into a sheep.
After transforming, Shifeng immediately swung his longsword at the Demon Doppelganger.
Thundering Flash!
The Demon Doppelganger that had been transformed into a sheep was unable to dodge. The three sword lights directly struck its target. The Level 5 Thundering Flash caused three frightening damages of -112, -135, and -163.
The Demon Doppelganger was enraged. It activated Defensive Blade, greatly increasing its attack range. Brandishing its sword, the Demon Doppelganger slashed at Xiang Shifeng. This human was too despicable. He actually used such a lowly method like Sheep Transformation.
"Hehe, and here I was wondering how strong the Demon Doppelganger was. You clearly have a body that is even stronger than mine, yet you still use the same skills as me. It turns out that your standard is only at this level." Shifeng ridiculed as he dodged the Demon Doppelganger.
"You are courting death!" The Demon Doppelganger nearly fainted from anger after hearing Shifeng's words. It then used Double Chop on Xiang Shifeng's neck.
Shifeng pointed the Abyssal Blade at the Demon Doppelganger. Nine pitch-black chains instantly bound the Demon Doppelganger, immobilizing it for three seconds.
Phantom Kill!
At the same time, both Shi Feng and his doppelganger activated Defensive Blade, starting to attack the Demon Doppelganger.
Thundering Flash, Chop, Earth Splitter, Double Chop, and a bunch of other skills landed on the Demon Doppelganger. In addition to Nine Dragons Slash, the Demon Doppelganger's HP rapidly decreased. In just a short moment, the Demon Doppelganger's HP fell to 10%.
"So what if your physique is strong? So what if you know my skills? So what if you are a Demon?!" Shifeng said as he stabbed his sword into the Demon Doppelganger's chest. The Demon Doppelganger grimaced in pain, flames of anger burning within it.
Seeing that the bindings on the Demon Doppelganger had been removed, it could finally properly deal with Shifeng. Just as it was about to take out its specialty, however, it saw the scroll in Shifeng's hands. Immediately, the Demon Doppelganger fell into despair.
"Bye bye!" Shifeng waved his hand at the Demon Doppelganger. Knowing that the Demon Doppelganger was about to show its might, he activated the Tier 1 Magic Scroll in his hands.
Heavenly Thunder Bombardment!
This Tier 1 Magic Scroll was sufficient to cause 500 damage to a single enemy below Level 20. Against the Demon Doppelganger, which had less than 200 HP, this Magic Scroll was more than enough to deal with it.
Suddenly, a streak of blue lightning descended from the sky, causing -500 damage to the Demon Doppelganger. Immediately, the Demon Doppelganger transformed into a puff of black smoke and disappeared. Subsequently, a piece of dark-gray equipment fell from its body.
