Volume 2 Before the Disaster Chapter 15 Mirror World
The fog enveloped Marvin, and time passed by minute by minute.
Soon, the ten minutes were up.
However, the expected enemy did not appear.
"Um?"
Something seems different.
Marvin was a little surprised, but he immediately became alert!
The Copper Dragon never lies. He just said it was ten minutes, and that’s exactly ten minutes!
So now, am I already in the mirror world?
A strong sense of crisis surged through Marvin's heart.
He almost instinctively swung the knife first and then turned back!
There is nothing in the back!
But Marvin already knew it was coming!
Rangers can also sneak!
"How cunning..."
Marvin looked at the thick fog all around and frowned.
This is a bit strange. According to the game, the mirror enemies on the first floor are not that cunning.
They usually just rush out and start hacking around.
"Sure enough, is there still a difference between games and reality?"
Marvin took a deep breath and focused.
I didn't expect that I would lose the initiative at the very beginning. This is really a bit troublesome.
…
The mirror world is a place where professionals challenge themselves.
In this place, you are not allowed to use anything other than your own skills and weapons. And Marvin's enemy is a copy of himself made by the Copper Dragon!
This self of mine is roughly the type with similar attributes and combat abilities.
The mirror image enemy on the first level has the same level of scimitar mastery as Marvin, which is the [Entry] level.
As long as he defeats it, Marvin can raise his scimitar mastery level to one level.
Reached the [Apprentice] level!
Above the apprentice is the expert, and above the expert is the master. The Black Butcher of the Shadow Spider Society is a master-level scimitar master.
It was precisely because of this that he could crush Marvin so easily!
He uses a scimitar, and even if he just slashes horizontally, the damage he inflicts is more than 60% more than Marvin's!
This is the ability to master weapons.
Marvin was familiar with the scimitar, but he was not as proficient as the dagger. In this life, he had to use his experience from his previous life to improve his scimitar skills.
The mirror world of the Copper Dragon is the fastest way.
Marvin silently held the scimitar in his palm, changing direction every three seconds.
The perception is a bit low.
Even though he clicked to listen, Marvin knew his own business and it would be difficult for him to break his stealth with his own perception.
The enemies in the mirror world basically have similar attributes to Marvin.
Defeating yourself is always a very difficult thing.
…
Professor Red Copper Dragon likes to have fun, but he also admires people who dare to challenge themselves, so he created the mirror world.
"It seems a bit unfair." The copper dragon outside the mirror world grabbed a handful of ore and swallowed it, then burped. "Using my combat awareness to bully a new ranger, even though this guy is courageous, it's a bit of bullying."
Thinking of this, he released the control over the mirror image in the mirror world and chose [Spell Wisdom].
This kind of intelligence simulated by witchcraft is naturally much weaker than the control of the Copper Dragon himself.
Marvin in the mirror world naturally didn’t know about these things. He just suddenly felt that there was some unusual movement behind him!
Are you losing your temper so soon?
Marvin was a little surprised, but he didn't move.
He had already caught the other party's footsteps.
Marvin was very familiar , so he simply pretended not to notice the other party.
"Almost close."
"It's... this step!"
Suddenly, Marvin's body rushed forward!
The next second, a figure burst out from the mist. The man looked exactly like Marvin, and the scimitars in his hands were also similar!
Shadow cut step!
As Marvin expected, the mirror enemy's first move was Shadow Cut, which cut fiercely to the position where Marvin had just been.
If Marvin hadn't dodged this time, the next thing would have been the horrific throat-slitting technique!
The combo that Marvin had used on his enemies before was this time used against Marvin.
"Unfortunately... this is not enough!"
Ma Wen sneered, turned smoothly, and swung his two swords fiercely!
After Mirror Image used Shadow Step, there was an obvious pause in his movements.
In Marvin's eyes, this stagnation is a huge flaw!
Although the strength of both sides is exactly the same, their combat wisdom is completely different levels!
What's more, some things cannot be reflected by all attributes.
Marvin knew clearly that once this mirror image chose to expose itself from stealth, the outcome would be decided!
Clank, clank!
The scimitars in the mirror world kept colliding. Marvin's attack was unrestrained and smooth, and the mirror image was unable to fight back!
After just one and a half minutes, Marvin successfully killed the mirror image in front of him with a single blow!
Although the guy in front of him looks like him, Marvin will show no mercy.
After being hit in the neck by the scimitar, the mirror image suddenly turned into a ball of mud, and then into quicksand, which scattered all over the ground.
"Congratulations, you have passed the first level of the test."
"In fact, I'm surprised how short it is!"
"No matter what, the mirror image on the second floor will be many times more terrifying than you can imagine! But before that, let me pick a reward for you!"
The somewhat surprised voice of the Red Copper Dragon came from outside the mirror world.
This guy never expected that in the time it took him to close his eyes, the other party would hack his mirror image to death!
Is magical wisdom really too stupid?
"What should I reward him with? First of all, the reward can't be too expensive. But since the little guy has such a performance, I should show my generosity!"
The Red Copper Dragon thought for a moment and took something out of thin air.
…
[You defeated the mirror image and defeated yourself. In the battle, your skills were honed.]
[Your scimitar mastery +1]
[Your scimitar mastery level is increased to: Apprentice]
Marvin carefully checked the battle records and glanced at the control situation of the scimitar.
It has indeed been improved.
This point has not changed. Now Marvin feels much more comfortable holding the two swords than before.
His combat effectiveness increased by at least 5 percent.
This is the benefit of improving the weapon mastery level, especially for those professionals who rely on weapons for their livelihood.
The fog slowly receded, and an open treasure chest appeared on the ground.
Marvin knew that this was the reward given to him by the Copper Dragon.
He opened the treasure chest and found a book inside!
"Skill Book?"
"It's actually swordsmanship !?"
Marvin had a little surprise.
He was worried that he didn't have time to get some skill books to learn, especially the knife skills. The knife skills used by the black butcher that day left a deep impression on him. Generally speaking, knife skills are the most suitable for Marvin now, and can maximize the advantages of his scimitar.
The swordplay secret book that the Red Copper Dragon gave to Marvin is called "Swordplay: Torrent". It is the most basic swordplay, and Marvin can choose to practice it now.
Because of his mastery of the scimitar, any sword technique can be learned by himself and then become Marvin's personal skill. As for the level of skill, it depends on Marvin's understanding of sword techniques, which seems to be somewhat related to intelligence.
[Sword Skill·Turbulence]: One of the basic sword skills. You can slightly increase the attack speed of your scimitar for a long period of time.
"It's a bit ordinary, but it's better than nothing." Marvin put away the swordsmanship book.
Compared to the [Sword Art·Thunderbolt] used by the Black Butcher, [Sword Art·Turbulence] is a bit low-end. Thunderbolt greatly increases the attack speed in a short period of time, while Torbulence increases the attack speed slightly over a long period of time. They seem to have their own advantages, but in fact, the ranger profession, especially the dual-blade ranger, pursues strong explosive power in a short period of time.
However, since it can increase the attack speed, it can also be regarded as a combat method, which is better than nothing.
Marvin, who currently has extremely limited resources, is not in a position to be picky.
…
"Why don't you learn this sword technique immediately?" The curious voice of the Red Copper Dragon came from outside the mirror world.
“Because I want to continue the challenge.”
Ma Wen said calmly: "If I learn it now, then the next image I face will definitely have this kind of swordsmanship. I think it's better not to learn it."
"Smart boy." The copper dragon burped:
"Be careful, the mirror image on the second level has 120% of your ability, and his swordsmanship is one level higher than yours!"
