Chapter 185: One of my body doubles
Raul, drink this!
I tossed a bottle of potion to Raul after strengthening him through Viger Enhancement.
<em>*Glug glug*</em> Ha! This is great. All my wounds vanished just like that.
As soon as Raul found an opening, he drank the potion and all his wounds from before vanished.
Youll make me know the taste of defeat? Do you still not realize the gap between our strength?
Youre the one who doesnt realize. Cant you see Im so much stronger than before!?
Tchhow did
Enough talk, I want to beat you up right away, you shitty father!
Probably mindful of Viger Enhancements time limit, Raul said so and then kicked the ground.
For a moment there, I lost sight of him. When I next saw him, he had closed the gap with father already.
Wha
Careless! This ends now!
<em>*gakiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!*</em>
Sword shed against sword, producing a loud metallic, nging sound.
Father was having a hard time defending against Rauls shes, and eventually, Rauls overwhelming power caused father to rise to the air.
Such power!?
Oraaaaaaaaaaa!
!?
Father was able to do a safending, but the moment he did so, Raul has already approached to follow up.
!
Whats wrong, father!? Is that all you can do!?
As to be expected of doubling Rauls strength, he not only closed the gap in power between them, he was even overwhelming father.
This is stupidhow can I
Ora, ora, oraaaa!
Upon seeing Rauls drive and terrifying strength as well as father being pushed back in a duel, the soldiers around them unintentionally stopped fighting and watched.
O-oi, why is Raul-sama?
More importantly, look, Edel-samas struggling against him
T-this is just a joke, right?
Unfortunately, because Raul had a time limit, that meant that even at this point, victory wasnt guaranteed. That said, if things kept going like this, he should be able to defeat father before that deadline.
But then
huh?
There was a suddenly an impact in my back.
Wondering what could have caused it, I nervously turned around. There, I saw thest of my fathers generals.
This rather small man had stabbed me in the back with a dagger.
the reason why Raul-sama is suddenly this strongis you, Luke-samaif so, we shoulddeal with you first
This man with a peculiar way of talking was named Pipanell.
His specialty was assassination through excellent covert action. He was capable ofpletely erasing his own presence, just like what he did now.
By sneaking into enemy lines and killing the enemysmanders without anyone noticing, he could win a war all by himself.
this daggerisced with poisonin 10 secondsyou wont be able to moveat all
So, it was you. No wonder I didnt sense anything even when you were near. My map was showing you as a red dot this whole time though.
? Whywhy are you so calmafter being stabbed? No, before thatwhy arent you bleeding?
Oh, thats because this is a body double.
Wh
While in this body, I didnt really feel pain and poison didnt have much effect if any at all.
A body double would vanish after receiving a certain amount of damage, but it didnt seem like Ive crossed that threshold just yet.
Youre using the termbody doublein a strange way
You bastard! What have you done to Luke-samaaaa!
Dont expect mercyyyyyyy!
!?
My consciousness then returned to my real body.
From this new vantage point, I saw the nearby vigers getting furious and attacking Pipanell.
Ahh, no, Im alright though?
I waved my hand and tried to say I was perfectly fine, but maybe due to being blinded by rage, none of them noticed me.
Luke-sama! Hurry, drink this potion!
Dont panic, Im fine. That was just one of my body doubles.
In no time at all, the vigers managed to pin down Pipanell and proceeded to beat him up.
more importantly, how is the battle between Raul and father going?
