Chapter 541 Alphia, are you playing me?
With Roy's combined ability and development, Ryu unleashed a "Five Lights" slash that instantly killed the mimics Bell, Bert, Haruhime, and Tsubaki Kobrand, severely injuring the mimic Ota, who was then personally killed by Ota.
All that remained before me was the mimic Alphia.
However, this replica was not so easy to deal with. The magic effect of the level upgrade had not yet disappeared, and the mimic Alphia was LV.10!
The mimic Alphia fought against six opponents—Ryu, Alphia, Cassandra, Tsubaki Kobrand, Ota, and Hegni—and held her own, even displaying an overwhelming and powerful aura.
Swish!
Liu's exquisite figure swept out like a gust of wind, rushing in front of the mimic Alphia, and the sharp sword of the Elf Flowing Light World slashed down through the air.
The mimic Alphia remained expressionless, merely shifting her body slightly to narrowly avoid the incoming blade, and then delivering a punch straight to Ryu's chest.
Liu's pupils suddenly contracted; such speed.
Divine Wood Armor, activate!
At the critical moment, lush green vines suddenly sprouted from the wooden sword in Liu's hand, intertwining and quickly forming a wooden armor on her body.
boom!
The fist slammed heavily onto the wooden armor, sending Liu staggering back several steps. A dull pain shot through her chest, but fortunately, the vines cushioned most of the force.
It wasn't just Ryu who was dealing with the mimic Alphia; Ota and Hegni attacked from both sides.
Alphia, mimicking the movement of the wind, nimbly weaved through the two men's relentless attacks, each step precisely avoiding the flashing blades.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Her seemingly slender arms transformed into a whirlwind of punches, raining down on Ota and Hegni with immense force.
The two were forced to retreat step by step by the fierce punch, and in the blink of an eye, they were covered with wounds.
"Drink!"
Chun Kobrand seized the opportunity, raised his giant blade high, and slashed down from his rear.
Without turning her head, Alphia, relying solely on her senses, slapped the side of the blade with her palm, deflecting it. Her figure moved like lightning, her fists flashing, and Ota, Hegni, and Chun were all sent flying at the same time.
The sound of bones cracking rang out.
You can see that the three Otas were blasted away, their bodies limp, and all their bones were shattered.
Apart from Ota, who has extraordinary stamina, Chun Cobrand and Hegny lost consciousness on the spot.
Ota knelt on the ground, his breathing erratic, a hint of pain flashing across his usually calm face, as he forced himself to stay upright under the influence of the "I fight, I live" spirit.
In an instant, the mimic Alphia defeats the others and confronts the real Alphia.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
The two figures clashed, fists and palms striking, their moves coming one after another, like mirror images of each other, each collision producing a dull thud in the air.
The lifelike doll before her not only replicated all her skills, but also developed her abilities, skills, and magic, and reached LV.
An incredible value of 10.
Despite Alphia's superb skills, she gradually felt the pressure. In each exchange, she had to take a half step back, and she was already at a disadvantage in both offense and defense.
The Shadow of the Dragon Emperor!
Both summoned dragons simultaneously, their deafening roars echoing through the sky. The enormous dragons soared through the air, exhaling and tearing at each other with ferocity.
Alphia's fairy dragon was also suppressed.
Only with the support of Ryu, Cassandra, and Ota were they able to hold on against the mimicry dolls.
"Gospel!"
With her lips slightly parted, Alphia unleashed the second method of using the magic "Demon King Valion." Sharp sonic waves transformed into tangible ripples, spreading rapidly in all directions, causing space to tremble and become distorted.
"Catch!" Liu reacted quickly, taking out several Silent Harps from her spatial ring and throwing them out.
The crowd caught it mid-air and wore it behind their ears, shutting out the soul-crushing shriek.
Almost simultaneously, the mimic Alphia continued chanting the "Gospel," which coalesced into a semi-transparent sonic cannon that tore through the airflow and rushed straight towards them.
With the blessing of "Talent and Calamity Compensation" and "Immortal Essence Bloodline", the power of her attack exceeded LV.10.
Both Liu and Ota were deeply shaken.
"Peace of the Soul!"
Alphia appeared in the path of the artillery barrage in a flash, raising one hand to unleash her second spell, "Garden of Silence." A magical shield, shimmering with a deep blue light, instantly unfolded to meet the raging sonic wave.
The collision was not accompanied by a deafening roar. The incredibly powerful sonic cannonball vanished without a trace the moment it hit the magical light shield.
Numerical values are insignificant compared to the underlying mechanisms!
Alphia's magic, "Garden of Silence," nullifies all magic. While it is almost useless against monsters, it is incredibly powerful against humans, making it a nightmare for mages.
Even if the power of the mimic Alphia's artillery exceeds LV.10, it will be nullified by the magic light shield.
Of course, this strength is relative.
Alphia the Mimic also possesses this magic.
Ryu's Wind of Light, Ota's magical slash, and Hegni's magical flames were all used by the mimic Alphia.
"The Garden of Tranquility" is invalid.
Seeing this, Alphia felt helpless; her own excessive strength was also a troublesome thing.
Their strategy for dealing with mimicry dolls is to stall; the longer they stall, the greater their advantage becomes!
The initial duration of the level-up is fifteen minutes, but each time Chunji levels up, the effect of the level-up will be extended by five minutes.
Mimicry of Haruhime is LV.5, so the magic effect lasts for thirty-five minutes.
If the time for leveling up ends, Alphia will at least be able to fight her own mimic puppet to a draw, and with the help of others, she will be able to defeat it.
That being said, the reality is far from optimistic.
"Thor's Light!"
Cassandra unleashed healing magic, and a vibrant, emerald-green light bathed everyone.
As a level 8 healer, Cassandra's healing magic was incredibly powerful, and the injuries on everyone's bodies and inside their bodies were repaired at an extremely fast pace.
Even with her best efforts and everyone fighting tooth and nail, they barely managed to avoid defeat.
Alphia's LV.10 mimicry is so powerful it's almost despair-inducing. If the Black Dragon didn't have divine power, she could probably solo the Symbol of the End.
The difficulty of the 72nd floor is unknown, but it becomes stronger when faced with stronger opponents.
To everyone else, time seemed to pass so slowly, each second an agonizing ordeal.
The mimic Alphia, however, has no emotions.
"The root of blessing, the hatred of birth, the original sin of devouring half of my body—" The mimic Alphia easily suppressed Alphia and Ryu and began to chant the incantation.
It instantly sent chills down one's spine.
This incantation was familiar to everyone; it was Alphia's "Annihilation Prayer".
When Alphia at level 7 used this magic, she could destroy half of the 65th floor and severely injure the Black Dragon; if it were Alshuanga at level 10 using "Annihilation - Prayer", they wouldn't even dare to imagine how terrifying its power would be.
Even the 72nd floor could be reduced to ashes!
"Interrupt her!"
Ryu, Alphia, and Ota dared not delay any longer and went all out. Tsubaki Kobrand and Hegni also stood up despite their serious injuries.
Countless attacks came crashing down, overwhelming everything.
With her superior stats and skills, Alphia, the Mimic, handled the situation with ease, her chanting never stopping. Her parallel chanting technique even surpassed that of Ryu, truly deserving of the title of strongest talent.
"The trumpet of the gods, the harp of the elves, the melody of light, are the very mark of sin—" Every word spoken by the mimic Alphia fell like a heavy hammer striking the hearts of everyone, a harbinger of death!
"call!"
After a prolonged and fruitless attack, Ryu was panting heavily, drenched in sweat. Roy's abilities far surpassed hers, and maintaining the Synchro Contract for an extended period was extremely burdensome. However, they were completely helpless against the Mimic Alphia.
"Is this the end?" Liu's pretty face was pale, her eyes filled with resentment and pain.
Liu swung her sword again, but as the battle intensified, her movements gradually became chaotic.
Alphia, in her mimicry form, moved swiftly, making it increasingly easy for her to evade the attacks of the crowd.
"Idiot!" Alphia muttered under her breath.
Before she could finish speaking, the mimic Alphia seized the opening in Ryu's sword move, deftly deflecting the blade and instantly closing the distance. With a whispered "Gospel," the sonic ripples gathered in her palm almost touched Ryu's chest.
The sonic bombardment is about to erupt!
Ryu sensed a deadly danger, her face turning deathly pale. How terrifying! The opponent was able to forcibly interrupt the chanting without causing a magical explosion, and then seamlessly connect, transforming it into a super-short spell.
Alphia strode forward, grabbed Ryu's shoulder with one hand, pulled him back, and then deployed a light shield to forcefully block the dangerous cannon fire.
The sonic bombardment was neutralized by the "Garden of Silence".
Taking advantage of the situation, the mimic Alphia lunged forward and punched the magic shield. With a "crack," the shield, which could negate magic, could not withstand a pure physical attack and shattered instantly, the fist smashing into Alphia's body.
boom!
Alphia was blasted away.
Without pausing, the mimic Alphia turned and attacked Ryu, who was closer.
Liu's pupils contracted, and before he could even raise his sword, the wolf-like figure was already upon him.
Compared to the other party's level advancement, it was Ryu's Synchronization Contract that reached its limit first.
The bonus from leveling up is for a fixed period of time. Synchronization contracts place a heavier burden on the weaker party, and as Ryu gets injured, her physical and mental strength is depleted, her condition declines, and the pressure of the contract increases further.
Synchronization Contract passively terminated!
The powerful force from Roy vanished, as if she had fallen from the clouds to the bottom of a valley. A strong sense of emptiness welled up in Liu's heart. Facing the aggressive mimic Alphia, a trace of despair appeared in her eyes. It's over!
The mimic Alphia unleashed a powerful punch.
In Ryu's eyes, the punch seemed to be magnified infinitely, occupying her entire field of vision.
呲!
Just then, it was as if a lightning bolt flashed through Ryu's mind, and Roy's figure appeared. It was not an illusory phantom, but a connection from the unseen world, the Synchronization Contract linking their wills together.
In a flash, Roy appeared like a shadow, wrapped his arm around Liu's waist, and spun her around half a step, narrowly avoiding the deadly punch.
Ryū's clear, sky-blue eyes reflected Roy's face, and despair melted away like ice and snow.
"Did you make it?" Roy smiled slightly.
"Mmm!" Ryu bit her lip lightly and nodded heavily.
Transfer to a higher position!
The mimic Alphia missed its first attack and continued its pursuit. Roy activated magic, and spatial ripples engulfed his and Ryu's figures, teleporting them dozens of meters away.
When Roy arrived, everyone else breathed a sigh of relief, including Ota and Hegni.
Because Roy is the absolute core of the team.
The Loki Familia consists of Finn, Riveria, Grace, Ais, and Bert; while Leon, Bell, Hedin, and the four Flame Warriors form separate groups.
Besides Ota and Hegni, there are also Ryu, Alphia, Cassandra, and Tsubaki Kobrand here. Roy naturally prioritizes supporting his own people.
"With Alphia's mimicry and Haruhime's magic, it's no wonder you're having such a tough time."
Roy stared at the mimic Alphia in front of him. The other party's appearance and figure were exactly the same as the real one. It was shrouded in a layer of dazzling golden light, with a powerful aura and a terrifying pressure.
Meanwhile, the mimic Alphia was also keeping an eye on Roy.
Her monstrous instincts made her realize that Roy was a greater threat than her own true self.
"My destiny, loved by the artificial world, may it crumble into ashes—" the mimic Alphia continued chanting, her lips moving slightly as she uttered a clear voice.
The magical incantation continues!
Ryu, Cassandra, Tsubaki Corbrand, and Hegny gasped in astonishment. The magic spell that had been interrupted was actually being continued by their opponent.
Chunji, who was brought here by Roy, opened her mouth slightly. What she needed to do with the help of the "Seven Sounds of the Immortal Continent" was something that Alphia could do with her talent alone. The difference between people was too outrageous.
"I feel like you weren't this strong when we were teamed up. Is this what it means to be ten times stronger when you turn evil? Or are you just putting on an act all along?" Roy said, half-jokingly, looking at Alphia beside him.
""
Hearing Roy make fun of her, Alphia barely suppressed the urge to punch him.
A person possesses a wide variety of knowledge and abilities, and when faced with a single situation, they can usually solve it by using 50% or 60% of their skills.
This is especially true for Alphia!
With her high-level stats and skills, no one could interrupt her chanting, so such tricks were usually unnecessary.
The "tips" she understood were insignificant, yet they were things that others could only dream of.
Rather, it's more accurate to say that Alphia's ability level has reached LV.10, allowing her to briefly interrupt the opponent's incantation, something that Ryu and Ota can be proud of.
If the mimic Alphia were to unleash her third spell, they'd be in serious trouble. Roy put Ryu down and laughed, "Leave the rest to me!"
"Yes, I believe you." Ryu's eyes softened.
"Alphia, cooperate with me, finish her off in one minute!" Roy turned to Alphia and said.
Alfia stepped forward to show her support through her actions.
Transfer to a higher position!
Roy teleported, appearing before his opponent in the next instant, his sword flashing with cold light as he slashed down.
A hint of surprise appeared on Alphia's usually calm face as she dodged to the side, the blade almost grazing her clothes, a close call.
呲!
Before his opponent could adjust his stance, Roy suddenly unleashed golden lightning from his left palm, striking out fiercely.
Alphia, in her mimicry form, raised a light shield, nullifying Roy's magic. But the cold wind struck again, this time from behind, and Roy was teleported away once more.
This forced the mimic Alphia to dodge in a sorry state.
Faced with Roy's relentless attacks using spatial magic, anyone else would have been dead long ago. Alphia, in her mimicry form, was struggling to cope but showed no signs of defeat.
At that moment, Alphia made her move.
She took a step forward, then shot out like a cannonball, arriving in an instant. Her left hand, fingers clenched like a knife, aimed straight at the mimicry doll's throat.
Mimicking Alphia's forearm block.
When the two collided, the puppet's arm was shaken open, and its central opening was briefly exposed.
Alphia didn't miss the opportunity, lowering her center of gravity and launching a sweeping kick to her lower body.
The mimic was forced to jump backward.
Before the opponent even landed, Roy followed closely, the sharp edge of the elven holy sword slashing straight down.
The mimic Alphia had no choice but to raise her arm to defend herself. A cold glint flashed across her, and her entire arm was torn apart. No blood flowed, but the opponent's situation became increasingly difficult.
After Roy arrived, the tide of battle turned instantly.
With his ability to break through limits several times, Roy's normal stats are at the peak of LV.9. Combined with his spatial magic, his true combat strength is immeasurable.
Faced with Roy and Alphia's relentless offensive, the mimicry doll's only chance of victory was to unleash its third spell, chanting: "The price is here, with the evidence of guilt, destroy all things, weep—"
This persistence ultimately led to the other party's defeat.
No matter how advanced the technique of parallel chanting is, it is still multitasking and doing several things at the same time, so a loss of focus is inevitable.
Meeting Roy is a fatal weakness!
Just as the mimic Alphia was about to finish her incantation, Alphia distracted her opponent, and Roy moved in, stepped forward, aimed, and swung his sword in one fluid motion, delivering a ruthless horizontal slash from his left waist.
A silver line appeared on the waist of the mimic Alphia, slowly spreading outwards. Golden dust leaked from the crack, eventually dissipating into light particles.
Successfully defeated the mimic Alphia!
