Chapter 153: A Nor on at once, the sound ofresonant in the air Thewood overwhelmed all other smells as a thin layer of smoke surrounded us

However, despite the chaos, menter seemed confined—almost isolated—as if the soldiers around us deliberately left us alone Whether the people nearby were too focused on their own fights or if there was some sort of illusion put in place, I couldn’t quite tell, but it left e I had with this augmenter and his helper, now just barely a yards away, I could tell that their fighting tactics were fundamentally different than ours The conjurer menter’s body at his coer looked fatigued as he rose froor

With a click of his tongue, he peeled his eyes fronaling to so in a different direction from where the conjurer that’d protected hiaze fell back to me Mana enveloped his hands into the same claw-shaped form as before and just as he readied hirew louder behindwith Myre back in Epheotus, I was tempted to activate Real that’d draw too much attention to myself

I whipped around in tiale of wind to spiral around my hand like a drill, I dispersed the fire spell only to pivot away fromenter’s strike iht on fire from the scattered e within the forest was turning into a pit of blood and fire as round

The augmenter’s movements were rather concise and well-coordinated despite the uneven terrain, but years of sparring against Kordri hadair

“He was right You’re not just some foot soldier,” he spat as he whirled back around in preparation to pounce onthose mana claws?

“He?” I asked, bewildered as to who could’ve possibly given him this information

He re a tree stump as a foothold to leap off of with his mana claws poised to strike

I positioned myself to meet the assault head on but when his claere just inches away from my face, I withdrew my own fist and swayed to the left I drovehis body gathered toward the area I had intended to attack

My augmented fist wasmy opponent’s ribs cracked Just the force of round, but when he got back up, there was only an expression of frustration, not pain

Soon, there was at least a dozen figures of the augmenter all in different—very life-like—poses, all ready to attack

I looked at the illusionsthat both Dicathen and Alacryan soldiers were unaware of as happening, and let out a stifled laugh

“This is funny?” the aug frohed, still suished from one another “Thanks to this illusion, I can let loose a little”

Poking my conscious deep into my mana core, I activated Realmheart A burst of mana exploded out of me as my vision faded into an achrolowing runes flowed downwith a twinge of silvery hue rather than turning completely white

The clones that had once seemed identical in my normal state were now no more than clusters of mana shaped into the form of a man All but one appeared to be a mass of white mana particles What surprised me was that the illusion wasn’t invoked by the hidden conjurer but the ‘shi+eld’

Locking menter, it was obvious fro dreadfully oppressing about ardedwith all of his clones—dashed toward e conjured another blast of fire—larger, this tia tight hold of his exposed hand, I used his momentum to redirect hili struck by the full brunt of his ally’s spell
