Chapter 386 - Continuous Pleasant Surprises
Chapter 386 Continuous Pleasant Surprises
After regrouping again, the clone did not stand on the ground foolishly like before. Instead, he floated in the air, with the three pairs of cicada wings on his back vibrating at high frequency.
The clone already knows how to fly… This should be instinct, right?
Under this high-frequency vibration, the black patterns on the clone’s wings showed a strange phenomenon. Under Roy and Benia’s observation, an afterimage appeared beside the clone’s body. Although this afterimage only had a slight outline, it made it difficult to distinguish the true position of the clone in the air.
“Displacement illusion?” Benia was a little unsure.
“Won’t we know if we try?” Roy raised his hand and shot a black frost arrow at the clone. He aimed at the location of the clone that he observed, but strangely, the clone did not move in the air as the frost arrow passed through the clone’s body and shot out the back.
“It’s really a visual displacement. It should be due to the patterns on his wings…” Benia said. “Darling, don’t rely on your eyes to observe!”
Roy nodded and activated his Radiation Perception. This time, he saw something different. His vision was full of the radiation source released by his clone, and the visual displacement effect disappeared.
Roy opened his mouth and fired a Lightning Cannon. Because it was very close, and the Lightning Cannon was extremely fast, as soon as the clone opposite him reacted and turned into a swarm of insects, the Lightning Cannon blasted him, and half of his body was gone in an instant.
In order to understand the abilities of the clone fully, Roy was ruthless. This was truly ‘being ruthless to the point of even hitting himself’!
After the lightning annihilated half of his body, the clone moved again. The insect swarm that formed his upper body suddenly split in half, as though it was instantly self-multiplying. This swarm of split insect clones quickly gathered at the destroyed spot, and in almost an instant, the clone completely recovered. Benia was very excited. “I know. This should be some kind of regenerative ability! If I’m not wrong, as long as there’s a single small clone, this clone can’t be completely eliminated!”

Not to mention Benia, even Roy was a little surprised. In the Abyss, insect-type demons were recognized for their tenacious vitality. He did not expect that his clone would have such an ability after inheriting a bit of Beelzebub’s bloodline.
Roy’s current recovery ability was very strong. A demon lord’s demigod-level immortal body would not die even if it was cut into pieces. But even he did not dare to say that he could still recover if there was only a small piece of flesh left.
But the current ability of the clone was different. In the insect swarm state, even if millions of small clones were destroyed, as long as any small clone remained, it could condense back through the splitting and multiplying. It was as though every small clone had recorded and possessed the complete information of the body. Finally, it could change into two, and from two, it could change into four and keep replicating continuously.
This method of regeneration was different from that of other demons, and Roy could not help but think of Majin Buu. This ability was too similar to Majin Buu’s recovery ability. In fact, he had thought of giving himself this ability to obtain a true immortal body, but he could only give up on it because he was worried that he did not have enough souls. He did not expect to obtain a similar ability from this clone. Roy’s heart was burning. He absolutely had to obtain this ability. At that time, he only needed to spend a little more souls to define the size of his clones to be even smaller. It would be perfect if he could make each one as small as a cell!
At that time, it would be a true cell-level regenerative ability!
The highly sensitive dynamic capture vision, the passive visual displacement illusion, and the superb regenerative ability this clone displayed just now could be said to have brought surprises to Roy one after another.
Most importantly, other than an arm and a soul fragment, Roy had not invested anything else in this clone. It was pretty much all the benefits without the sacrifice. As the saying went, awesomeness was when there was zero pain and great gains. The more, the better. Roy could not wait to continue attacking the clone to see if he had any other special abilities.
In the beginning, the clone was only passively defending. Even though Roy injured him, he only used his regenerative ability to recover. But after Roy attacked for a while, the clone slowly learned to fight back!
When Roy slashed Frostmourne down again, the clone’s serrated blade arms blocked Roy’s sword and pushed him away. Then the two blade arms crossed and swung forward.
S
Zizz! Sparks suddenly burst out from Roy’s body, and two deep scratches appeared on the shoulders of the Cold Winter Armor.
Roy frowned. Invisible blade? Sword energy?
No, that’s not right. Just now, when the clone swung his blade arms, I seemed to feel a violent flow of air. This should be… vacuum wind blade?!
Before Roy could figure it out, his clone moved again. His entire body turned into a swarm of insect clones, and the surface area of his body expanded greatly. Then the insect clones that formed his body were all buzzing and flapping their transparent wings violently!
Zizz! Ding ding! Continuous sounds and sparks came from Roy’s Cold Winter Armor. The minute impacts reached their peak in one short second. In Roy’s Radiation Perception, he saw countless energy radiation sources rushing toward him, and he had no choice but to erect an ice wall to defend.
Benia, who was watching the battle on another side, was also attacked. Countless tiny wounds immediately appeared on her body, and they were still increasing. Almost instantly, she became bloody.
Benia was shocked, and she quickly retreated while defending.
Roy finally understood. It was really invisible vacuum wind blades, but unlike before, the clones released these wind blades in the form of an insect swarm. The millions of small clones that formed his body were continuously releasing these wind blades. This was equivalent to millions of sharp airflow blades flying in all directions every second. Although they were small, the number was terrifying!
The continuous wind blade storm gradually chipped away at the ice wall in front of Roy, and numerous ice crystals scattered all around. Even with the hardness of his ice wall, it was difficult to resist the impacts of so many wind blades, let alone the surrounding walls and rocks.
It was as though the walls, rocks, and ground around the underground square encountered a sandstorm. The tiny wind blades cut them into countless particles, just like the wind had eroded them. Under the airflow, they filled the air but were blown away in an instant.
The most unlucky one was the Red Sea Egg. It was also within the range of the wind blades. In just a few seconds, the bud of the Red Sea Egg and numerous roots on the ground became riddled with holes.
After enduring the impacts of the wind blades for more than ten seconds, Roy found that the clone did not show any signs of stopping and immediately realized that the situation was not good. The total amount of magic power in the clone was almost the same as his, and this move did not seem to consume much magic power. In other words, if he wanted to, he could maintain this move for a long time.
Roy was not worried about himself, but he could not let his clone destroy the Red Sea Egg, so he quickly removed the ice wall in front of him and pointed at his clone! A grayish-white light shot out from Roy’s fingertip and raced toward his clone in the swarm state. On the path that the light passed, all the insect clones were twisted together and rushed back with the light. When the light dissipated, the corpses of insect clones, which had distorted beyond recognition, fell like rain.
After firing a few more Distortion Beams, Roy finally forced the clone to stop his wind blade storm, split apart again, and recover. Taking advantage of this time, Roy summoned a blizzard that raged in the entire underground space. The clone that had just gathered was instantly frozen and turned into a large block of ice that fell from the sky.
Roy heaved a sigh of relief and was about to walk forward when he suddenly heard cracking sounds. The clone sealed in the ice broke out of it and floated back into the air. As the wings on his back vibrated at high frequency, several enormous tornadoes suddenly appeared in the air. These vortexes were rotating at high speed like drill bits as they shot at Roy. Seeing this, Roy hurriedly defended himself while shouting in his heart that he had hit the jackpot!
It’s really wind magic! This clone actually has the magic power circuit of wind magic…
