Chapter 217 - The Eight Deathly Clones

Sarah was the one who placed the Black Box around Val. The smoke around Val's body cleared and Val did not have no scratch or bruise on his body. "All eight of you are working together." " Ganging up on one person." I need to change that." Val focused aura around his/her body and eight white balls of smoke came out of his/her back. The eight balls of white smoke turned into clones of Val. The eight clones lunged after their desired targets. Everyone had to split up. Cross went to the Eastern Mountains that was near The High Noble Squares. The clone of Val looked exactly the same but not with the same power. Cross looked at the clone who was smiling. Cross shot five sharp deathly spikes at the clone. The clone formed a barrier around it's self. When the spikes striked the barrier they were easily destroyed. The clone lunged after Cross and began to engage in hand to hand combat with Cross. Cross was not as fast as the clone. The clone kicked him in the chest making him smack into a rocky surface. The clone flickered by Cross and picked him up by the neck and smashed him further into the ground. Cross made spikes come around his entire body, making the clone quickly let go off his neck. Some of the spikes penetrated the clone's body, staggering the clone. Cross recovered from all the clone's attacks and started to communicate with Rider. Rider how the fuck are we going to beat this prick?" " First we have to figure out his weak spot." " We have to find a opening." Cross ran up to the clone and formed a beam in his hand. He threw the beam at the clone, who zoomed past the beam and punched Cross in the face, shattering his jaw. The blow lifted him off his feet. Cross quickly recovered and fired a barrage of blasts at the clone. The clone's barrier was strong. It withstanded all of Cross's blasts. The blasts causes mini explosions which cooled down and made smoke rise out the ground. Cross blended in the smoke and flickered at least four times. He continued to flicker until the clone could not figure out where he would strike. Cross appeared above the clone who instantly saw Cross and fired a powerful red beam at Cross who barely had any time to avoid it. Boom!! A explosion occured. The clone scanned the area for spiritual essence and could not find any. When the clone was about to walk away, Cross focused aura around his fist and punched the clone so hard in the face a shockwave erupted through the mountains, destroying the other ones in the mist. The clone was covered in blood with it's face mangled. Val could see what was happening through all eight clones. He/she was also controlling them. All the clone's had different powers. The clone Cross was fighting power was fire.
