Chapter 535: Chapter 508: Clone Shadow Transformation Skill

Carolina and the others worked through the night, making a full thousand copies of Ronin’s accusations against Garrett.

While this wasn’t enough to blanket the entire Golden Feather City, it would suffice if they chose the right locations.

The previous night, Ronin had already decided on several places to distribute them, such as Horn Bay Academy, Horn Bay Port, the Royal Academy, and the Trade Zone.

These places were either bustling with people or frequented by the elite, like the children of nobility, which would be highly effective for disseminating Ronin’s claims and swaying public opinion.

In less than an hour, Ronin scattered all the papers detailing his accusations of Garrett’s crimes.

This novel method of dissemination immediately drew a crowd of onlookers, all of whom were shocked by the words on the papers.

People in any world have a natural love for drama. Faced with such explosive news that hadn’t yet been suppressed by the nobility, they immediately shared it with those around them.

Although Ronin didn’t have enough time to observe the full effect of the papers’ spread, the fact that people in the Horn Bay Academy plaza were already defending him proved it was working.

After finishing his task, Ronin hovered in the sky above the Golden Feather Palace, looking down at the magnificent structure below.

After a brief moment to compose himself, he held his breath and focused, using his Spiritual Power and Magic Power to meticulously draw complex and profound Magic Patterns.

Low Level Magic might have only three to five Magic Nodes, but as the Magic Level increases, not only do the number of nodes multiply, but the trajectories of the Magic Patterns also evolve from simple straight lines to curves, broken lines, dynamic curves, and more, making casting progressively more difficult.

Nearly two months had passed since Ronin had become a Legendary.

Relying on his exceptional learning ability, he had not only mastered Ridder’s Flaming Void Slash but also the Legendary Magic, Clone Shadow Transformation Skill, gifted to him by Sophia.

Currently, only the Dragon Breath Skill remained for him to master.

The Clone Shadow Transformation Skill, as its name suggested, created a mirror image identical to the caster in appearance and aura, designed to deceive enemies.

However, unlike the Combat Skill of the same name available to the Wind Attribute Proud Sun Level, the mirror image created by this Magic possessed eighty to ninety percent of the original’s combat power. As long as it remained within the range of his Spiritual Power, it could not only be controlled remotely but could also transmit everything it saw, heard, and felt back to the caster.

This was a far cry from the Combat Skill’s version, which was rigid, only possessed the strength of a mid to Advanced Level Knight, and could not stray too far from its creator.

Of course, this Magic also had a significant disadvantage.

It was, after all, an entity condensed from Extraordinary Energy, essentially a special mass of Energy.

Therefore, whenever the clone cast Magic or used a Combat Skill, this mass of Energy would deplete, and the clone’s strength would diminish accordingly.

A moment later, the Magic Patterns were complete. Space trembled as Wind Elements rapidly converged, and in the blink of an eye, a clone identical to him appeared in front of him.

"It’s time."

The clone spoke with a voice identical to Ronin’s. Without any delay, the words had barely left its lips before it plunged downward, diving rapidly toward the plaza in front of Oduin Hall.

WHUMMM—

High above the plaza, a faint membrane was breached. Inside a luxurious bedroom in the Moon Shadow Palace, Serdil, who had been resting with her eyes closed, suddenly snapped them open.

"He’s here. At the plaza in front of Oduin Hall. It looks like he plans to rescue that Giant Dragon first."

Serdil teleported into the air outside. "Sound the Horn! Assemble at the plaza!"

Instantly, the heavy sound of a Horn echoed through the Golden Feather Palace, and countless figures surged toward the plaza from every corner.

By the time Ronin’s clone landed steadily in front of Carlos, Garrett’s figure had already appeared before them.

"Hahaha, you’re finally here!"

Garrett threw his head back and laughed. "I was starting to think you were so scared you’d abandoned your pet and your wife!"

As he laughed, the Guards and Knights stationed around the Giant Dragon drew their Weapons, surrounding Ronin and Carlos.

The clone glanced at the several enormous nails piercing Carlos’s body. An inky-black Energy emanated from them; it was these Black Nails that had sealed Carlos’s movements.

Otherwise, he could have simply used his Dragon Breath to melt the Chains binding him. He would never have been trapped.

Ronin controlled the clone, intending to pull out the nails, but Garrett stopped him.

"I’d advise against that. It would take a great deal of Fighting Qi to pull out those Black Nails, and I’d have more than enough time to kill you while you’re busy."

The clone halted its movements and looked at Garrett, its gaze filled with fury and contempt.

"I never imagined that you, the Crown Prince, would actually murder your own father. You’ve utterly betrayed the King’s high regard and expectations for you."

Garrett sneered. "Stop your pointless struggling, Ronin. Everyone knows you’re the one who murdered my father. And I, the one and only Crown Prince of the Oduin Kingdom, its future King, will cut you down right here to avenge my father’s spirit!"

As he spoke, the Flame Seal between his brows flashed violently. Fiery-red patterns, like flowing magma, appeared on his face, resembling a strange tattoo.

"I’ll be honest with you. Not only am I now a Proud Sun Knight, but with my Flame Seal activated, my combat power can even rival that of the fabled Legendary Knights!"

He gripped his Longsword tightly, its blade glinting coldly as he pointed the tip at Ronin.

"Well? Are you scared now?"

The clone’s expression was frigid, but its eyes held a hint of pity—pity for Garrett.

’The esteemed Crown Prince of a kingdom... collaborating with an Alien Race was one thing, but to think he’d actually joined them and accepted the power of an Alien Race.’

’Flame Seal Knights weren’t completely transformed in thought and action like the Witch Soul Knights, but using the power of the Flame Seal would cause them to gradually degenerate. Furthermore, the Nightmare Power it channeled would imperceptibly become sustenance for a Demon God.’

"I’m terrified!"

Ronin had the clone say, "I’m afraid that if I’m not careful, I might use a little too much force and send you straight to Hell."

"Ignorant fool! How arrogant!"

Garrett’s face darkened. What he hated most was Ronin’s expression—so confident, completely devoid of fear.

"It’s not just you who will die today. As a traitor to the kingdom, your father, your grandfather, your entire Wushan Clan will pay for your actions with their lives!"

As the two faced off, Serdil arrived at the plaza with her elite team.

This was the first time she had seen Ronin in person. Judging from his aura, he didn’t seem as powerful as she had imagined.

Following them were Ference, Andrea, and many other nobles who had rushed to the Royal Capital after receiving summons.

Many of them were shouting for Ronin’s death to avenge Bruno, but a good number also remained silent.

Among the silent, Ronin recognized the nobles, both major and minor, who had recently begun cooperating with Moonlight Valley, earning money by sending contract laborers there.

When their eyes met Ronin’s, they looked awkward and gave imperceptible nods.

The clone’s gaze finally settled on Serdil.

He asked, "The Storm Divine Envoy is here at the Golden Feather Palace. I wonder where the Flame Divine Envoy might be?"

Serdil’s voice was melodious, almost bewitching. Paired with her beautiful face, it held a considerable attraction for the opposite sex.

But the words she spoke were utterly domineering: "Do you really think we need the Flame Divine Envoy to kill the likes of you?"

The clone gave a noncommittal nod. "A pity. The outcome may leave you disappointed."

Meanwhile, Ronin’s real body was already speeding toward the Moon Shadow Palace.

Before taking action, he had sensed that the Moon Shadow Palace was heavily guarded, and that even Serdil herself was present.

To prevent his enemies from using Blanche and Elron as hostages during the rescue attempt, Ronin had used his clone as a decoy to lure them away.

Serdil had not disappointed him; she had indeed taken her people and left the Moon Shadow Palace, leaving only a few guards behind with Blanche and Elron.

In any case, the priority now was to get Blanche out of this den of vipers. Ronin would not allow even the slightest harm to come to his wife and their unborn child.
