Michael's strategy of concealing his full power proved to be a wise decision. By limiting the doppelganger's exposure to his true capabilities, he prevented it from becoming more of a headache than it had already been. This tactical approach was now doing wonders in the battle.
Under the relentless assault from the group, with Michael leading the charge, the doppelganger began to show signs of strain. Michael's persistent attacks drew the doppelganger's focus, allowing the others to strike with increased effectiveness.
Michael engaged the doppelganger with a barrage of swift sword strikes.
"You can copy my moves, but not my mind," he said calmly. His blades moved in a blur as he executed a series of complex maneuvers designed to confuse and outpace his opponent.
Mirroring Michael's actions, the doppelganger found itself gradually overwhelmed. The group seized the opportunity, their combined attacks becoming more coordinated.
