    Simultaneously with the creation of his shadow duplicate, Tyler delivered the followingmand:


    —— Utilize "Shadow Sword ze Steed" to assault the "Poison de Rat King" and hurl the "Shadow Sword ze Steed" back to "me" prior to vanishing.


    Immediately thereafter, a shadowy duplicate, identical in appearance to Tyler, emerged from the shadow of the Poison de Rat King.


    It leaped upward, seized the Shadow Sword ze Steed hurled by Tyler, and promptly thrust the sword into the Rat King''s back! (4808-67 / 7561)


    The Poison de Rat King, poised to continue its pursuit, let out a scream.


    It had assumed that the human had misdirected his sword throw, yet it hadn''t anticipated an abrupt attack from behind... Its charred skin offered little protection!


    The Rat King instantly wheeled around to discover an eerie ck figure, brandishing the sword the human had thrown, shing at it with each strokending deep! (4741-72-63-59 / 7561)


    "Chirp Chirp!!"


    The Rat King yelled, immediately retaliating with a flurry of venomous w strikes!


    Initially, the Rat King''s ferocious attacks were consistently dodged, but leveraging its size advantage, it quickly exploited the ck figure''s vulnerability, impaling him directly in the chest with a w!


    Upon being impaled, the ck figure hurled his sword into the distance, then dissipated into a cloud of ck mist.


    The Rat King roared triumphantly, believing it had killed an enemy, thus intensifying its battle spirit!


    ·


    (So, that''s how it is.)


    Tyler caught the Shadow Sword ze Steed thrown back by the shadow duplicate, gaining a deeper understanding of the "Shadow Behind" skill.


    Consistent with the results of previous experiments, the shadow duplicate was incapable of using Tyler''s skills and abilities, including equipment-based skills that consume magic power.


    Therefore, without the aid of the "Divine Eye of Transcendence," the shadow duplicate''s evasion capabilities were inferior to Tyler''s own, unable to persistently tango with the Rat King.


    Furthermore, Tyler "incidentally" acquired information about his own "damage tolerance."


    During the skirmish between the shadow duplicate and the Poison de Rat King just now, it sustained 56 points of damage from a scrape with a w, 37 points from a ncing blow with a tail, and lost the remaining 2228 life energy points when impaled through the chest.


    Although the shadow duplicate was not equipped with leather armor, skewing the data, this information was still of considerable reference value for Tyler.


    .


    After the shadow duplicate was dispatched, the Poison de Rat King continued its ferocious onught against Tyler.


    However, with the assistance of the red light warning, Tyler was momentarily able to maintain a delicate bnce of evasion. He didn''t have any substantial opportunities for retaliation, at most asionally grazing with a sword stroke before promptly retreating.


    The pressing issue at hand for Tyler was how to whittle down the remaining 4512 points of the Poison de Rat King''s life energy.


    From the perspective of "damage per point of magic power," utilizing "Shadow Behind" is not as straightforwardly effective as the "Blue ze Steed."


    However, the shadow duplicate had sliced open the Rat King''s tough skin, which would enable the next "Blue ze Steed" to inflict even greater damage.


    Besides, the shadow duplicate could execute special tasks that couldn''t be measured in "damage value," such as a "suicidal attack."


    ·


    Timing the moment of rigidity after the Rat King''s attack, Tyler stepped back and, while throwing the Venomous de, once again invoked "Shadow Behind."


    The shadow duplicate appeared just in time to catch the Venomous de, and the Rat King, still oblivious to the newly emerged enemy behind it, was intently charging again at Tyler.


    Tyler carefully gauged the movements of the Rat King and the shadow duplicate, continuously diverting the Rat King''s attention until the shadow duplicate climbed onto its back and leaped onto its head...


    By this point, even if the Rat King detected the shadow duplicate''s presence, it was toote.


    In a sh, the shadow duplicate plunged the de into the Rat King''s right eye (4512-530/7561), and then, amidst its struggles, blinded its left eye as well (3982-530/7561).


    The Rat King, writhing in intense struggle, crushed the shadow duplicate underneath its body amidst the chaos.


    Before being crushed to death, the shadow duplicate threw back the Venomous de and dissipated into a cloud of ck mist,pleting its mission.


    ·


    Tyler caught the Venomous de, standing at a distance, watching the Rat King writhing in agony, while mentally strategizing his next move.


    The shadow duplicate not only deprived the Rat King of its vision but also helped Tyler confirm a hypothesis: The Prison Star world incorporates the concept of "weak point attacks."


    Whether it was the instant kill by beheading Albert previously, or the instant death of the shadow duplicate when pierced through the chest, these instances all demonstrate that the "same attack" applied to "different parts" can yield "different damage," rather than just a fluctuating damage range as in games.


    ραΠdαsΝοvel.cοm This means that even though the Poison de Rat King still possesses 3452 life energy points, if its weak point, such as the heart or brain, could be destroyed with a single strike, it would be a lethal blow.


    In the wound carved open by the shadow duplicate, Tyler had already vaguely spotted the location of the Rat King''s heart.


    Thus far, Tyler hade to view this battle as a review and reinforcement of his battle against the "Crimson me Dragon."


    .


    After a fleeting moment, the Poison de Rat King recovered from its excruciating pain.


    Although blinded, it located its adversary using its keen sense of smell!


    Upon detecting the ursed human''s scent, the Rat King rebounded, coiled itself into a sphere, and lunged towards the human with its signature move, "Hell''s Roll"!


    However, the human''s short-range sprinting speed exceeded the Rat King''s expectations. Its "Hell''s Roll" couldn''t catch up to the human and was instead led into a tree.


    Thwarted once, the Poison de Rat King formted a new n.


    It refrained from attacking and waited until the human''s scent was close.


    At that moment, it spewed a cloud of poisonous gas from its belly, its other signature skill - "Foul Breath"!


    Against nimble adversaries as such, this move had never failed the Rat King before.


    Yet, somehow, this human predicted and evaded its breath attack, quickly moved to its rear, and consecutively shed its scarden back with several sword strikes!


    The Poison de Rat King, blinded and unable to execute precise attacks, was furious. If it engaged in closebat with this crafty human, it might notnd a single hit.


    Out of frustration, the Rat King leaped high into the air, executing its third skill.


    "Titan Rat Copse"!!!


    Magic energy gathered on the Rat King''s body surface, greatly enhancing its resilience.


    It transformed its body into a weapon and fiercely mmed into the ground!


    The range of this attack was vast, and a human witnessing it for the first time would undoubtedly fail to evade!


    However, during the Rat King''s descent, it was astonished to find that the human''s scent had vanished in a sh, only to reappear tens of meters away.


    With a thunderous "BOOM!", the Poison de Rat King crashed into the ground.


    This strike made the earth quiver but hit nothing, and the intense recoil temporarily immobilized the Rat King.


    "Rat King Greyi, you rushed the final step." (Evilkindnguage)


    A scorching de pierced straight into the Rat King''s back and into its body. Then, after a round of intense internal heat and pain, the Poison de Rat King, Grey, smelling the burnt scent emanating from within its body, lost consciousness eternally.
