The Copy Mage

Chapter 229: Full Power Battle



Damian's friends' trap was simple.

They knew that Damian was likely to target Julia and Matilda as they could deal a lot of damage, but were also the weakest in close combat and direct confrontations.

So they decided to send them out and get Matilda to use her ability to injure, weaker and disorientate them, so that they could then take them down.

Matilda had been storing energy within her voice box, ready to release a Sonic Cry from the start of the battle and Milo and Cole stood far away to avoid its power, while Julia was in a full suit of armour.

Julia's armour was produced out of her Water Creation Soul Spirit and the water she used wasn't ordinary.

It was water that was enhanced and produced by her energy and the moisture in the surrounding air, which gave it dampening and reinforcement properties.

The armour was as hard as steel and could take powerful impact, but was also as flexible and malleable as water.

The dampening effects of her armour were a perfect counter for Matilda's ability and she would barely be injured by it if she focused her defensive armour around her ears in order to dampen the shock wave.

Seeing Damian and Kong suddenly jump away, she unleashed the Sonic Cry that she had been storing and preparing to use against them, but it didn't have as great of an effect as they were hoping for and expecting.

Mid-air, after jumping back, Damian used the Flame Burst Skill and swooped Kong into his arms before launching himself away from Matilda.

The further away from her one was, the less impact they experienced from her Sonic Cry, while it was also fuelled by her emotion, so the Sonic Cry was not at full power.

She had learnt to control it and also target it into a single beam, seeking to find other ways to apply the ability, but it was still linked to her emotions, so its true power could only be unleashed in times she was desperate or angry.

Despite that, blood still flowed from Damian's ears while he was also slightly dizzy from her attack.

He would have also suffered internal damage from the impact if he wasn't able to stop himself from slamming into the wall using the Flame Burst Skill, with Kong still in his arms.

"Nice start, let us continue," he said.

The dizziness was beginning to fade away and after all the strain he had put his body through and all the battles he had taken part in, he had developed his recovery speed to an unbelievable level.

Kong transformed into his larger form and their battle had seriously begun, with all of them taking it seriously and eager to win.

Adam formed two batons of similar length to the swords he was most comfortable using out of Fire Energy, and was planning on using them like blades.

He was confident in his blades skills and although they were all taking the battle seriously, they were also holding back certain attacks and skills that they knew would deal great damage that would be difficult to heal from.

Damian communicated to Kong telepathically that they were to fight in close combat as a duo and push them back while also weakening and damaging them, then to pick them off one by one.

Also told it to beware of each of their abilities and that they weren't to be underestimated, while Kong had already seen them fight once against the mercenaries, so it could make a rough estimate of what they were capable of.

Dashing at rapid speeds, Damian clashed his fire batons with water batons that Julia had formed to clash with Damian.

While Matilda was taking on Kong and releasing smaller sonic cries, using her ability, that were more like targeted beams and would deal more physical damage.

"Milo you join Julia against Damian, while I will take down the monkey with Matilda," called out Cole as he rushed towards Matilda to support her against Kong.

Out of the two of them, Damian was the least predictable and the most skilled in combat, while Kong had great physical strength and speed, but didn't have much depth to the way he fought.

Their allocation of power was a good match, but they were underestimating Kong, while Damian had also improved greatly.

With his Fire Batons, Damian with his Adaptive Battle Style quickly found the pattern of Julia's attack pattern and found an opening and weakness in the way she fought.

Even with her armour, a full power strike from Damian's explosive fire batons would weaken her greatly and just as Damian was about to strike her, Milo charged towards Damian and made it to her side in time.

"It's been a while since we have been able to fight like this Milo. Show me just how much you improve,"

As he said that, Damian jumped backwards and flipped in mid-air as he regained his balance after being forced to dodge Milo's charge.

Damian had the deepest understanding of what exactly Milo's ability was and just how amazing it actually was, and was the reason he was wary of him the most during the battle.

The others were also amazing, but Milo just like Damian could switch between different ways of fighting and unlike Damian, Milo used his ability openly and it made him very unpredictable and difficult to fight against.

"I had been saving this one to use against you for the first time. Let's see how you handle it,"

Milo who was previously using a Beast Transformation of a bulky and strength-based beast, which he would use most times, switched to a Beast Transformation that Damian had never seen before.

From the change in Milo's appearance and speed, it became clear to Damian what kind of transformation it was.

Damian was unsure when exactly Milo acquired the feline beast transformation that he was using, but he was instantly alerted by it, knowing that Milo's speed would be greatly enhanced, while he had also grown claws from his hands.

"Julia, support me. Let's overwhelm him and take him down in one swoop,"
