Chapter 532: Clone Shadow Technique

Carolina and the others worked through the night to transcribe a full thousand copies of Luoning's accusations against Jialete.

Although this quantity was not enough to scatter across the entire Jinyu City, it was barely sufficient as long as they chose the right locations.

Luoning had already decided on several drop-off points the previous night, such as Niujiao Bay Academy, Niujiao Bay Port, the Royal Academy, the Trade District, and so on.

These places were either crowded and bustling, or gathered relatively high-level talent like noble children, which would have a very good effect on the spread and conversion of Luoning's rhetoric.

In the less than one hour that followed, Luoning scattered all the papers written with the accusations of Jialete's crimes.

This novel method of dissemination immediately attracted many onlookers, who were simultaneously shocked by the text on the papers.

People of any world have a natural instinct for gossip; faced with such explosive news that had not been suppressed by the nobles, they immediately relayed it to those around them.

Although Luoning did not have ample time to observe the subsequent spread, judging by the fact that someone on the Niujiao Bay Academy plaza immediately began defending him, it should have an effect.

After finishing all this, Luoning hovered in the sky above Jinyu Palace, looking down at the luxurious building below.

After making a slight adjustment, he held his breath and focused, using his Mental Power and Magic Power to carefully draw the complex and profound Spell Pattern.

Low-level magic has only three or five Spell Nodes; as the magic level increases, not only do the nodes become more numerous, but the trajectory types of the Spell Patterns also increase from simple straight lines to curves, polylines, dynamic curves, and so on, and the difficulty of casting increases accordingly.

Nearly two months had passed since Luoning became a Legendary.

Relying on his superior learning ability, he not only mastered Ruidar's Flame Void Slash but also mastered the Legendary magic Clone Shadow Technique gifted to him by Suofeiya.

Currently, only Dragon Breath Art remained under study.

As the name suggests, the Clone Shadow Technique creates a mirror image with the exact same appearance and aura as the original body to confuse the enemy.

However, unlike the Wind Attribute Sun-level Battle Technique of the same name, the mirror image created by this magic possesses eighty to ninety percent of the original body's combat power; at the same time, as long as it is within the sensing range of his Mental Power, it can not only be controlled remotely by the original body but can also transmit everything it sees, hears, and feels back to the original body.

It is not as rigid as a Battle Technique, is only at the level of an Advanced Knight, and cannot be too far from the original body.

Of course, this magic also has obvious disadvantages.

After all, it is an individual condensed from Supernatural Energy, and in essence, it can be regarded as a mass of special energy.

Therefore, as long as the clone casts magic or uses a Battle Technique, this mass of energy will decrease, and the strength the clone can exert will weaken accordingly.

A moment later, the Spell Pattern was finished, the space trembled, and Wind Element rapidly converged; in the blink of an eye, a clone exactly like him appeared before him.

"It has begun."

The clone spoke in the exact same voice as Luoning, and without delay, as the words fell, he dove headfirst and swooped rapidly toward the plaza of Auduin Hall below.

Hum~

Above the plaza, a faint "membrane" was breached, and Selandier, who had been resting with her eyes closed in the luxurious bedroom of Moon Shadow Palace, suddenly opened her eyes.

"It's here, at the plaza in front of Auduin Hall; it looks like he wants to rescue that dragon first."

Selandier flashed directly into the air outside, "Sound the Horn, assemble at the plaza!"

Immediately, the heavy sound of a Horn rang out in Jinyu Palace, and countless figures surged toward the plaza from every corner.

When Luoning's clone landed steadily in front of Kaierluosi, Jialete's figure had already appeared in front.

"Hahaha, you finally came!"

Jialete looked up and laughed: "I thought you would be so scared that you wouldn't even want your own pet and wife!"

Accompanied by his laughter, the surrounding Guard Knights watching the dragon drew their weapons one after another, surrounding Luoning and Kaierluosi in the middle.

The clone looked at the several huge nails on Kaierluosi's body; they were emitting energy as black as ink, and it was precisely these that had locked Kaierluosi's movements.

Otherwise, it could have used Dragon Breath to melt the chains binding it and would not have been trapped.

Luoning controlled the clone to try and pull out the nails, but Jialete stopped him.

"I advise you not to do this. Pulling out these Black Nails requires consuming quite a bit of Battle Qi, and in the process, it would be enough for me to kill you."

The clone stopped his movements; he looked at Jialete, his gaze filled with anger and contempt.

"I didn't expect that you, as the Crown Prince, would actually kill your father, wasting His Majesty's regard and expectations for you."

Jialete sneered, "Stop your useless struggle, Luoning. Now everyone knows that you are the murderer who killed my father, and I, the only Crown Prince of the Auduin Kingdom and the future King, will kill you here to sacrifice to the heroic spirit of my father!"

As he spoke, the Flame Seal on his forehead flashed violently, and fire-red patterns like flowing magma appeared on his face, as if he had a special tattoo.

"To tell you the truth, I am not only a Blazing Sun Knight now; after activating the Flame Seal, my combat power even rivals the legendary Legendary Knight!"

He gripped the long sword in his hand tightly, the blade flashing with cold light, the tip pointed at Luoning.

"How is it, are you afraid?"

The clone's expression was very cold, though his eyes were a bit pitiful—he felt pity for the other party.

A dignified Crown Prince of a country, it would be one thing to cooperate with an alien race, but he never expected that he would actually join them and accept the power of an alien race.

A Flame Seal Knight, although their thoughts and behaviors are not transformed like a Witch Soul Knight, will gradually sink as long as they use the power of the Flame Seal, and the Nightmare Evil Power induced by this will invisibly form nourishment for the Demon God.

"I am very afraid!"

Luoning controlled the clone and said: "I am afraid that if I am not careful, I will use too much force and send you to hell."

"Ignorant, arrogant!"

Jialete's face turned gloomy; what he hated most was Luoning's expression of being in control, showing no fear at all.

"Today, not only you, but as someone who betrayed the Kingdom, your father, your grandfather, and your entire Wushan Family will be buried with you for your actions!"

Just as the two were confronting each other, Selandier arrived at the plaza with her elite team.

This was her first time seeing Luoning in person; judging from the other party's aura, he did not seem as strong as she had imagined.

Following them were Feilunsi, Andreya, and many other nobles who had received the message and rushed to Wangdu.

Many of them clamored to kill Luoning to avenge Bruno, though many others remained silent.

Luoning saw among them the various large and small nobles who had negotiated cooperation with Yueguang Valley a while ago and used dispatched laborers to earn money in Yueguang Valley.

When they met Luoning's gaze, they were somewhat embarrassed and nodded imperceptibly.

The clone's gaze finally fell on Selandier.

He asked: "The Storm Envoy has already arrived at Jinyu Palace; I wonder where the Flame Envoy is now?"

Selandier's voice was very pleasant, even carrying a bit of charm, and paired with her beautiful appearance, it had no small attraction to the opposite sex.

Yet the words she spoke were extremely overbearing: "Do you think Flame Seal needs to take action to kill you?"

The clone nodded noncommittally, "It is a pity, the outcome might make you feel disappointed."

At the same time, Luoning's true body was already flying with Speed toward Moon Shadow Palace.

Before taking action, he had precisely sensed that Moon Shadow Palace was guarded by a large number of personnel, and that even Selandier was there.

To prevent the other side from using the two as hostages while he rescued Blanche and Aierlong, Luoning had used a clone to lure the enemy away.

Selandier did not fail expectations and truly led people away from Moon Shadow Palace, leaving only a few people behind to guard Blanche and Aierlong.

Regardless, getting Blanche out of this place of trouble was the priority now; Luoning did not want his wife and the fetus in her womb to encounter even the slightest mishap. (End of chapter)
