The force that Jason used to thrust this unknown person was so strong that it broke his armor, which left the figure exasperated.
But he made no comment despite looking completely in shock and he started becoming more riled up when Jason landed, a few meters away from him.
Finally he spoke," I'll admit. No man has been able to break my Cursed Armor, much less touch me in it. With that, I applaud you."
"However, you're not leaving this place alive!!", he further spoke and started concentrating his Mana to form his dark aura.
"Funny I was going to say the same thing to you!!", Jason replied and made his own aura as well.
"Whatever happens, you're not winning!!," Jason yelled and lunged towards his cloaked opponent and soon, they both started brawling.
————————-/——//————————————
The fight was in a series of punches and blows, and they countered each attack so well, as if they both knew each other's attacks before they even landed.
The fight went on for almost the whole afternoon; this time, each punch and blow connected to the target and both fighters were exhausted and Jason was bleeding profusely; not something common for eight-year olds experiencing during a brawl.
But all of a sudden, the cloaked figure started healing all his wounds at a rapid rate, which alarmed Jason.
He then went on to form a dark bubbly aura on his left arm, apparently his dominant arm and said," You're a good fighter, I'll give you that. But it ends here!!," and rushed towards Jason.
Jason tried to counter his attack, but the figure had the advantage later on since Jason was still inexperienced despite his huge Mana reserves, so it seems, and he was too tired and worn-out to even move.
His opponent's punch connected and was able to punch Jason on the gut and that sent him flying towards some trees nearby.
"Guk!!," he cried in pain from the impact and he was left with a burning scar on his gut and chest area, most likely from the bubbly aura.
"For weaklings like you, it's not surprising you're on the ground now," the figure said as he was looking at Jason, who was on the ground, recovering from the blow.
"Well then, I don't know how I'll explain this to your teacher, but so long," he said and raised his arm with the bubbly aura still appearing, poised to deliver a final and fatal blow.
But Jason looked up to him and started laughing softly.
"What's so funny? Is your demise that amusing?," the figure asked in annoyance at the sight of his opponent still showing liveliness.
"You're not as bright as I thought you are. And you're right, this fight is over. For you!!," and a figure appeared before Jason's opponent and punched him in the face with a yellow glowing right hand and sent him on the ground, cracking the ground as a result.
"Doppelgänger Replica!!," Jason shouted as he connected his attack on the figure's face. At the same time, the Jason on the ground slowly turned to dirt and crumbled.
"What??!! I was fighting a clone the whole time??!!," the figure thought to himself as he watched Jason strike him onto the ground and became unconscious.
"Finally, that ability worked!!," Jason said to himself as he watched his former clone's location and knelt down as a result of over-usage of Mana, both from creating a clone and for his punch.
