Deep within the Infinite Sea,

an intense battle erupted in an instant!

In the blink of an eye, countless waves leapt up, spreading across almost the entire battlefield.

At this moment, across the battlefield, the seawater had been affected by massive amounts of energy. Some of it floated in midair, while some gathered upon the surface below.

Under the sunlight, the entire battlefield shimmered with rainbow-colored radiance. Together with Caelan’s [Molten Inferno], vast amounts of steam intertwined with the light, creating a scene of breathtaking beauty. White mist lingered everywhere, making the place look like a fairyland.

But only Caelan and the others, who were truly within it, knew just how much killing intent was hidden inside this beautiful scene!

The Supreme Staff’s Mirror Image also launched an attack immediately.

However, its target was not the Supreme Staff, but Evelyn, who was not far away.

Facing the copy’s active provocation, Evelyn had not even made a move yet when the Supreme Staff could no longer hold back!

"Damn impostor, your opponent is me!"

The Supreme Staff roared and clashed with its own Mirror Image.

Almost in the blink of an eye, two high-energy domains instantly formed and began devouring each other.

This was the first time Caelan had ever seen the Supreme Staff go all out.

A trace of astonishment appeared on his face, because the strength displayed by the Supreme Staff far exceeded his expectations. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

To be precise, the Supreme Staff seemed to be much stronger than Evelyn!

Just as Caelan was thinking about this, the Mirror Image on the other side had already launched her attack.

Only, her target was not Evelyn’s main body.

It was Caelan!

"No, wait. I’m only here to help. Why are you pestering me!?"

Caelan narrowed his eyes. At the same time, he gripped his longsword with one hand and gave it a casual swing.

The next moment, sword beams that blotted out the sky instantly wrapped around the Mirror Image completely.

However, Caelan controlled the strength of his skill and did not instantly kill the Mirror Image.

Yet what he had not expected was that amid the countless sword beams, the Mirror Image was like a slippery fish, moving through the sword light with ease. There was no sign of her being harmed at all.

At the same time, the Mirror Image seized the opportunity and swiftly began her counterattack.

"Main body, don’t think you’re the only one who can call for help. My helpers aren’t any fewer than yours!"

As she spoke, the Mirror Image’s entire body transformed into a deep blue color.

At the same time, the dress on her body was also stored away into her storage space.

"I am the daughter of the sea!"

"Now, by the command of the ocean, I demand that all creatures living within the deep sea serve me!"

"Powerful beings sleeping in the depths of the ocean, please help me eliminate these hateful fellows!"

The next moment, the already boiling Infinite Sea instantly stirred up towering waves thousands of meters high.

A large number of powerful monster auras also began rapidly moving toward the battlefield.

This move from the Mirror Image left Caelan completely stunned.

Evelyn had such a powerful skill?

Why had he never seen it before?

On the other side, Evelyn coughed somewhat awkwardly. Standing back-to-back with Caelan, she looked vigilantly toward the Mirror Image’s position and quietly explained,

"Lord Caelan, things are not what you think. My skill cannot summon monsters from the seawater. It can only establish contractual relationships with certain mysterious creatures, similar to your [Divine Mirror Dragonlord]."

After hearing this explanation, a solemn look flashed through Caelan’s eyes.

If Evelyn was not lying to him, then the Mirror Image’s ability was probably not as simple as just being able to copy skills.

Although he thought this in his heart, Caelan’s hands did not stop moving.

The longsword in his hand slashed forward through the air once again with precision and speed.

In the blink of an eye, even denser sword beams surged toward the Mirror Image’s position.

However, this was not the end!

Caelan’s longsword swung faster and faster. At the same time, countless sword beams also began shifting along with Caelan’s movements!

"[Peerless Blade Storm]!"

The next moment, sword beams that filled the sky instantly swallowed the Mirror Image whole!

To Caelan, killing the Mirror Image would be extremely easy.

But truly controlling her required careful thought.

For example, right now, Caelan intended to first weaken the Mirror Image’s attribute points.

According to the characteristics of [Severance], as long as he spent a little time, the Mirror Image’s strength would be thoroughly weakened—even to the point where she would be inferior to an ordinary person.

As for the ocean monsters summoned by the Mirror Image, Caelan did not put nearly as much thought into them.

He raised his hand and fired off [Infinite Lightblade].

Almost instantly, beneath the surface of the Infinite Sea, a scorching little sun rose!

The endless seawater collided with the blazing heat of the little sun, instantly producing enormous amounts of steam.

Even so, the little sun showed no sign of shrinking.

Instead, those summoned sea monsters were instantly steamed alive due to the drastic rise in seawater temperature and the cooking effect of the steam.

This was especially true for the shrimp and crab-type monsters.

Before they could even emerge from the sea, their bodies had already turned bright red, giving off the unique fresh aroma of steamed seafood.

There was even a free buffet?

Caelan smiled faintly, then waved in Evelyn’s direction.

"If you don’t have anything else to do, you can go eat first. These are all good stuff!"

Evelyn: ...

No, Lord Caelan, at such a serious moment, you’re telling me to go eat?

But...

Looking at this battle, it seemed there was no room for her to make a move at all!

The situation before her made the Mirror Image’s expression turn somewhat grave.

She had never dreamed that Caelan’s [Infinite Lightblade] could actually be used underwater!

That said, the smell of this steamed seafood really was tempting.

If one poured soy sauce over it, then added some garlic juice and ginger juice...

Hey, what are you thinking about?!

The Mirror Image wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth and forced herself out of her fantasy.

The next moment, she once again mobilized the surrounding wind element and condensed a massive tornado above the sea.

"[Sea Tornado]!"

"[Flying Fish Soaring Through the Air]!"

"[Silent Stars]!"

The Mirror Image released several skills in succession.

However, the effects caused by these skills were far from ideal. In fact, they were even lower than the Mirror Image’s lowest expectations.

Wait.

What was going on?

A thoughtful look flashed through the Mirror Image’s eyes.

She could not understand why the effects of her skills had become so lousy.

Wait.

Could it be because...

The Mirror Image subconsciously looked at her own attribute points.

Sure enough, she discovered that a portion of her attribute points had disappeared!

What was going on?!
