Chapter 101

"Master?" asked Eulalia, recovering a little.

"No way! It's not her!" replied Alois with a serious look. "This is a perfect doppelganger that completely copied your master!"

Everyone was extremely amazed when they heard Alois' words. At first, they wanted to object, but deep down they knew he was right. They were ready to meet the "Perfect Doppelganger," but not in this way.

None of the four could tell the difference between the "Perfect Doppelganger" in front of them and their master. Her presence and even the trademark grin on her face were the same as the real one.

How can they resist it?

Everyone knew that their master was considered the strongest outsider in the city.

Alois didn't think he could defeat that elf's doppelganger either. He had already realized that he was no match for her. Moreover, according to Alois, the elf definitely belonged to the highest realm. And, apparently, her doppelganger should also be at the peak of the "Diamond" rank.

He was already regretting agreeing with her. But there is no cure for regret. He had experienced this feeling so many times that even if there was some kind of remedy, it would not be enough to cure it.

Gritting his teeth, he stepped forward.

Only he could fight back against this doppelganger.

"Go away! You're no match for her!" he shouted decisively and headed towards Milica's doppelganger to buy the others time and give them the opportunity to leave.

The others looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Everyone had their own reason for doubt. Liam didn't want to leave his master, but he couldn't resist his master's orders either.

Idan and Arabel have clearly heard that the beast they need to help tame Nemo is inside this strange building.

Eulalia was confused. Her mind was in chaos. On the one hand, she didn't want to leave Alois, on the other, of all the members of the group, she was the least willing to admit that they were facing the perfect double of the woman she respected and revered the most.

Only Nemo took Alois' order to retreat seriously. He wanted to follow him and take his juniors away from this place. This opponent wasn't someone they could handle.

But just as he was about to act, he heard Izzy's voice in his head, urging him to stop.

"Wait, Nemo, wait! There's something wrong here!"

Izzy didn't know, but ever since that figure left the building, she began to feel strange calls from within. It was as if something was insistently inviting her to come inside.

As a spirit, Izzy was sensitive to the intentions of others and could immediately tell who had good intentions and who had evil intentions. But whatever was calling her inside had neither good nor bad intentions.

Before the group could make a final decision, Milica's doppelganger waved her arms and released a huge amount of mana. In the blink of an eye, she created a large dome that completely sealed the small clearing.

Seeing this, everyone shuddered. They immediately realized that the doppelganger didn't want them to run away.

Alois only sighed in disappointment, noticing that no one listened to his calls and did not even move from his seat.

Pulling out his sword from his back, he released his aura to the fullest. There was no point in him holding back against such an opponent anymore.

The surroundings around him began to twist and distort under the pressure of his aura.

Idan and Arabel, as aura users, very clearly felt the difference between the aura of the "Diamond" rank and their tiny strength. It was like heaven and earth. They held their breath and stared at the two heavyweights.

"You're a brave man! Show me what you're capable of, human," the doppelganger said with their master's trademark smile. She called on Alois to demonstrate his strength.

Hearing the doppelganger's voice, the group was even more surprised. Even their manner of speech and voice were indistinguishable from their master's. Now they've really realized how intimidating "Perfect Doppelgangers" can be.

"Master follows the 'Path of Bloodline' and the 'Path of Magic', right? Arabel asked Eulalia and Nemo, without taking her eyes off the two Diamond—ranked fighters.

They all felt the tension building between them.

Under the pressure of Alois' aura, Milica's doppelganger didn't seem to feel him at all and continued to look at her opponent with a smile.

"What's her main element?" asked Idan this time.

In all the time they had been under Milica's guidance, they had yet to see her fully use her magic. Yes, she used some basic spells related to different elements. And, mistakenly, it seemed that she had an affinity for many of them.

However, as the couple learned the rules of this world, they realized that most creatures here could only have affinity for one element.

However, this does not mean that they cannot use spells related to other elements. It's just that their strength and understanding of these elements will be much lower than the main one. Therefore, many people do not strive to master all the other elements, saving their time and focusing on their main one.

"The Lightning element, — Eulalia said. As the oldest and the one who had been under her guidance the longest, she was able to see Milica's true power.

And as if it had been planned in advance, immediately after these words, yellow lightning began to flash around Milica's doppelganger.

At the same moment, the two Diamond-ranked fighters disappeared, and a huge shockwave swept everyone out of its path, accompanied by a deafening noise from the collision of the two.

Although the clearing was small, its consequences turned out to be large—scale - the entire space was engulfed by the shock wave left after the collision of the two strongest fighters.

Surprisingly, the dilapidated building did not collapse under this gust, only tilted slightly.

Their speed was so fast that Idan, Arabel, and even Nemo couldn't follow their movements. Only Liam and Eulalia, who had reached the "Platinum" rank, could barely detect their movements.

The shockwaves and noise that arose one after another did not allow the others to rise from their places, as if chaining them to the ground.

It was too scary.

Idan and Arabel, who were watching a battle of this level for the first time, were unable to utter a word. They were trembling under the pressure of what was happening.

They only had a "Silver" rank, while the participants in the battle were three ranks above them.

The collision happened suddenly and ended just as quickly. Alios fell to the ground with a thud, leaving a deep dent. He still held his sword tightly in his hands.

Alios tried to get up, but suddenly there was a clap of thunder and a yellow spark, pinning him even more to the ground. At that moment, Milica's doppelganger appeared above him and forcefully stepped on his chest.

"Is that all?" Milica's doppelganger asked with some disappointment, looking at Alois.

She sounded like she expected more, but when she got that result, she was disappointed.

Without waiting for a response from her opponent, she raised her head and looked at the others who were still lying nearby.

Her gaze landed on Nemo first. Then she looked at Idan and Arabel, and a smile lit up her face.

"Let me ask you a question. What makes you think I'm a doppelganger?" she suddenly asked the group.

"Have you ever thought that the one who lives in the city might actually be a doppelganger, not me?"
