Witch Sharon knew full well that Speedling's clone had been stored in a substitute.
She wasn't an idiot, and there was nothing wrong with her memory. The only reason she hadn't noticed the Speedling clone was because she wasn't paying attention to these details.
As long as she diverted a little bit of her attention to observe her surroundings, she would naturally notice the wisps of wind that had escaped from the substitute.
They had all disappeared.
Thus, Dorcas's performance was to steal Witch Sharon's attention and obscure her true focus.
Only by having Witch Sharon lock her gaze on him would she be able to temporarily put aside the "unimportant details" for now. Only in this way could Dorcas continue to trick Witch Sharon into using the substitute spell.
Even so,
Wanting Witch Sharon's constant attention to him.
It wasn't an easy task.
Dorcas estimated that Witch Sharon would discover the disappearance of the Speedling clone after one or two more times.
When that happened, it would be impossible for him to trick Witch Sharon into using the substitute spell.
However, with the limitations of the substitute spell, Witch Sharon would only be able to use it once or twice more. Thus, it wouldn't matter if he was discovered after that.
Dorcas' pretended 'to prophesy for a long time. Finally, just as Witch Sharon couldn't hold back any longer and was about to cast her spell, he finally found something.
Dorcas opened his eyes abruptly and turned to look in the direction of the green arrow.
"It's in that direction! You can't run away! "Dorcas shouted and started to swing his sword wildly in the direction he was looking.
The direction Dorcas was swinging his sword in was definitely correct. However, his gaze wasn't actually focused on Witch Sharon. This was also an act.
At any rate,
Swinging his sword would force Witch Sharon to show herself.
Witch Sharon wasn't too nervous when she saw Dorcas swinging his sword.
Instead, she let out a sigh of relief. Dorcas was a prophetic adept.
It was normal for him to be able to find her through prophecy. That was why she had already prepared herself for being discovered.
Since there was a high chance that she would be discovered, Witch Sharon naturally wouldn't care too much. Compared to all this, she was more concerned about whether Dorcas's prophecy had any limitations.
At the moment, she couldn't see any specific limitations. Fortunately, Dorcas would need a long time to prepare the Prophecy spell.
This left her with a lot of room to maneuver.
Next time, if Dorcas continued to use Prophecy, she was one hundred percent confident that she would be able to condense the Light Shield while he was preparing the Prophecy!
Witch Sharon had already set her sights on 'next time.' Naturally, she didn't pay much attention to 'this time.' Even if she had other ways to avoid the slash, she didn't use them. Instead, she followed her original plan and used the Substitution Technique to conceal herself again.
Very quickly, the third substitute was also destroyed by Dorcas' sword.
In Dorcas' vision,
The green pattern flashed, and new information appeared.
"Current Speed Clone recovery progress: 3/6"
"Well done! However,
She might not be so gullible after this. "
"By the way,
Most people would carry their substitute items with them. I had been observing her using my illusion and Elmi. I noticed that every time she used the Substitution Technique, the energy waves would come from her upper body. There was a high chance that she was hiding her substitute item somewhere on her upper body. "
"Her cloak should be made directly from the skin of some kind of demon. It's very high level and has the effect of concealing detection. "
"If possible, find a way to take off her cloak … or destroy it. "
Dorcas quickly read through the information and understood Angor's intention.
Angor also realized that he could no longer rely on trickery to get Sharon to use the substitution spell. So, he planned to rob Sharon openly.
As long as he knew where Sharon hid the substitute item, he would try to take it from her.
"If I did that from the start, I wouldn't have to put on an act …" Dorcas grumbled in his mind.
Still, it was not like Dorcas did not understand Angor's idea.
There was a risk in openly robbing. If he succeeded, everyone would be happy. If he failed, he would lose everything and lose everything.
Therefore, getting as many Speed Clones as he could before robbing Sharon was the best way to maximize his profit.
Even if he failed, he would at least get something out of it.
Now that he had decided on his plan, Dorcas didn't continue with the act. He planned to do something big before Sharon figured out what they were up to.
The first step was "deceit". The second step was "acting".
And now, he was about to enter the third step — "Recklessness".
After destroying the substitute, Dorcas looked at Angor's newly marked green arrow without hesitation.
He locked onto Sharon's location again.
This time, Dorcas didn't act anymore. He turned into a streak of red light and dashed toward Sharon's hiding place like an arrow.
On the other side, Sharon had just dodged Dorcas' attack and arrived at the other side of the arena. She was still thinking about how to complete the construction of her space spell while Dorcas was busy using Prophecy.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Her back went numb, her ears were sweating, and her soul was trembling. It was as if a fatal danger was about to descend on her head.
Did Angor do something?
No, wait. She had been watching Angor for a while. Based on the feedback she received, she was sure that Angor was loitering around the space gate and didn't pay attention to her.
If it wasn't Angor's tentacles, then why did she feel so threatened?
Witch Sharon raised her head cautiously and looked around. What she saw gave her a fright.
She didn't know when Dorcas had attacked her with his sword, and it was almost in front of her! The crimson blade was glowing with a terrifying red light.
If she didn't dodge, she would be hit in the next second. Even if she didn't die, she would be severely injured.
At this moment of life and death, Witch Sharon had no time to think. She used a substitution spell again without hesitation.
The Substitution Technique was finally released in the nick of time, but her substitute was also cut in half by Dorcas' sword.
However, even though Witch Sharon had cast a substitution spell, she wasn't able to escape unscathed. Dorcas was too fast, and his target was too accurate. It was almost impossible to dodge. Sharon had to tilt her body at the last moment so that she wouldn't be fatally injured.
However, there was still a wound on her shoulder that was so deep that her bones could be seen.
Furthermore, her cloak had been slashed from one shoulder to the other side of her waist.
The cloak she was wearing was made from the skin of the Void Snake. It wasn't good at defense, but it wasn't that easy to break. Before this, when Elder Yue had battled with her, his attacks had struck the cloak several times but had not been able to leave a single mark on it.
But now, a single strike from Dorcas had crippled this precious demon skin. From this, it could be seen just how powerful Dorcas's attacks were.
Even among Bloodline Wizards, Dorcas was definitely one of the best.
Could an ordinary dual-element adept develop both Divination and Bloodline at the same time, and at the same time reach the peak of their powers?
A trace of doubt flashed through Sharon's mind, but she quickly tossed it to the back of her mind. It didn't matter whether Dorcas was a dual-element wizard or a single-element wizard.
To her, the most important thing at this moment was …
"You've been able to find me?" After using Substitution, Sharon didn't hide herself this time. Instead, she stood on one side of the arena and looked at Dorcas.
Dorcas didn't respond right away. Instead, he checked the green notification in his vision.
[Current Speed Clone Recovery Progress: 4/6]
Very good. Only two more clones were missing. Even if he couldn't find them, the damage to the Speed Clone shouldn't be that great.
Dorcas nodded to himself and lifted his eyes to look at Witch Sharon.
"My Prophecy isn't as simple as you think."
Dorcas didn't answer Witch Sharon's question directly, but his words implied that he could use divination to find Witch Sharon's location.
Sharon frowned, "So you've been playing with me all this time?"
Dorcas smiled, "Take a guess."
Dorcas didn't wait for Witch Sharon to speak. He turned into a red flash of light and charged at Witch Sharon as soon as he finished speaking.
This time, Witch Sharon didn't use a substitution spell. In truth, she hadn't noticed the Rapid Clone yet. She had used the spell four times in a row and had reached her limit.
If she used Substitution again, the clone would no longer be immune to damage. Moreover, it would backfire on her.
Without the substitution spell, Witch Sharon could only rely on her rapid displacement and Spatial Flicker to slow down Dorcas's advance. She used the spatial rifts that she had set up earlier to slow him down.
Dorcas felt a little disappointed when he saw that Sharon had stopped using Substitution again.
However, he didn't let Sharon go just yet. Instead, he moved faster and faster, as if he was going to kill Sharon as soon as possible.
The reason he did this was because he could still see a row of constantly changing green words above Witch Sharon's head.
[Collecting data about Substitute. Progress: 80%, 81%, 82%.]
[Searching for Substitute's location. Progress: 34%, 35%.]
[Keep attacking. Make her reveal more information. This will speed up the calculation. ]
Dorcas' progress was directly displayed in Angor's eyes. Dorcas didn't know how Angor managed to quantify his progress, but since Angor asked him to keep attacking, he would do it.
He was already in control of the battle anyway.
Once he gained control of the rhythm of the battle, he would be able to suppress Witch Sharon, even if he was under the effects of the blood curse.
It had been a long time since Dorcas saw someone who could control the pace of a battle so easily. Controlling the pace of a battle and overwhelming power were only a small part of it. The most important part was the collection of information.
He had to admit that Angor's strange "vision" helped a lot in this regard.
The analysis of the information provided by the green lines had widened the gap between him and Witch Sharon. That was the real reason why he had been able to grasp the situation so easily.
For example, Sharon might still be able to use the space rifts to stop him. In fact, Dorcas was going easy on her. No, it was more accurate to call it a "sea".
Sharon's path was already marked by Angor with a green cursor. Dorcas could see where she would go in the next second.
"There are three space rifts on the left. There's a 71% chance that she'll go this way.
"There's a space rift on the right. It's very close, but there's no other rift to connect it. There's a 30% chance that she'll go this way. However, if you activate your blood aura right now, the probability will increase to 80%. "
"…"
This kind of information was almost completely under Dorcas' control. Of course, there were only a few words. Most of the information was about the probability of going in different directions.
He might not be able to predict everything with one hundred percent accuracy, but such a high density of information output caused the difference between him and Witch Sharon to widen.
If he really wanted to hurt Witch Sharon, he could do so in a very short amount of time.
However, it wasn't necessary.
He couldn't kill her even if he did so. Dorcas knew this very well.
If a space manipulator wanted to run away, Dorcas couldn't catch up. She didn't run away because she wanted to wait for her companions to arrive.
This was also why Angor didn't join forces with Dorcas. If Angor joined the battle, Sharon would know that she couldn't fight two wizards at the same time. She would have run away already.
This was good enough. Sharon could see "hope", so she wouldn't run away. Dorcas could also put some pressure on Sharon and force her to reveal more information for Angor to analyze.
Based on his current analysis, it shouldn't take him long to figure out the location of the substitute.
When the time came, he could just rob it.
However, even though they seemed to be in a good situation now, it wasn't as if there was no danger at all.
If Witch Sharon's companions returned before they finished their analysis, the tide of the battle would immediately change.
Leaving aside her unknown companions, Angor and Dorcas couldn't handle the Shallow Sea Strongman alone. They had to take a certain risk.
But then again, Dorcas didn't care about Sharon's companions too much. Just like how they couldn't stop Sharon, Sharon couldn't stop them if they wanted to run away.
Besides, Sharon and her companions had already caused such a big mess in Biren Tree Garden. Even if they gathered together, they wouldn't have time to run away.
Of course, Witch Sharon and her companions might have had time to fight to the death if the spatial seal outside Paradise was still in place. However, now that the spatial seal was gone, and the Bilos Clan adepts were on their way here, they would have chosen to escape as quickly as possible.
Unless … Sharon's companions were so strong that they could defeat all the wizards here by themselves. Then they could choose to stay.
But was that possible?
Not at all.
If Sharon's companions were so strong, they could have attacked Biren Tree Garden at any time. Why would they choose a day when the Bilos Family was undefended?
All in all, Dorcas didn't have to worry about anything.
It would be better if Angor could collect more information faster.
