Chapter 222 - Chapter 222:

The pure light infinite dimension offered absolutely no place to hide and no shadows to use for deception as I continued to face the relentless assault of my three perfect duplicates. The extreme boost still surged powerfully through every single muscle in my body, granting me the immense physical speed and raw kinetic strength necessary to keep up easily with their perfectly synchronized attacks. I gripped the hilt of my sword with both hands, my eyes tracking the simultaneous movements of the three identical clones as they closed the distance between us in a fraction of a single second. The first clone lunged directly toward my center, thrusting its blade forward with a terrifying velocity that aimed straight for my chest, while the second and third clones immediately flanked me from the left and right sides to completely cut off any possible avenues of escape. My survival instincts flared instantly, guiding my physical frame to execute a rapid pivot on my heel, narrowly dodging the central thrust by a mere millimeter. As the first duplicate sword sliced harmlessly past my ribs, I used the rotational momentum of my pivot to swing my own blade in a heavy solid horizontal arc to parry the incoming strike from the left. The sharp clash of our steel weapons erupted with a deafening crack that echoed endlessly across the boundless white expanse, sending a powerful shockwave traveling straight up my arms. However, the third clone on my right completely capitalized on this brief weapon lock, driving its sword downward in a crushing overhead smash designed to break my posture. Relying entirely on the newly granted rapid regenerative ability and my amplified physical density, I leaned my shoulder directly into the path of the descending steel rather than attempting to retreat. The sharp edge of the duplicate blade bit deeply into my upper arm, completely tearing through my sleeve and slicing deep into the muscle, but I did not let the intense pain disrupt my deep focus or slow my forward momentum for even a single moment.

The instant the duplicate blade made contact with my flesh, the profound warmth of the regenerative ability surged directly into the fresh wound, knitting the severed tissue and torn muscle fibers back together at a completely entirely impossible speed. Before the third clone could even attempt to pull its weapon back for another strike, my arm was already perfectly healed, the extreme boost providing me with an overwhelming burst of kinetic power to instantly retaliate. I pushed violently against the locked sword on my left, breaking the parry with a massive shove that sent the second clone stumbling backward across the invisible floorboards of the endless realm. Without dropping my momentum, I spun my body around and delivered a devastating kick directly into the chest of the third clone, my heavy boot connecting with an immense physical force that launched the perfect duplicate soaring through the pure bright white light. The clone crashed against the invisible ground several yards away, but true to its identical nature, it immediately rolled back onto its feet and reset its defensive stance without showing any clear signs of permanent damage or physical fatigue. The brief separation gave me a mere fraction of a second to steady my breathing, but the first clone was already pressing its offensive advantage, swinging its sword in a rapid sequence of diagonal cuts that forced me to safely step backward repeatedly. Every single clash of our weapons sent sharp vibrations through the infinite dimension, the continuous rhythm of our high speed combat creating a flawless display of martial precision. The clone mirrored my exact combat style perfectly, predicting my defensive patterns and exploiting the tiny gaps in my guard with an absolute, terrifying accuracy that pushed my physical capabilities to their own absolute maximum limit. I was forced to rely completely on pure reaction time, my sword moving in a continuous blur of silver light as I desperately deflected the relentless barrage of heavy strikes aimed directly straight at my vital points.

We continued to trade heavy blows in the center of the boundless radiance, our boots tracking invisible lines through the completely empty space as the grueling training session dragged on for hours and hours without a single break. The sheer intensity of the engagement required an absolute, unyielding focus, completely stripping away any distracting thoughts and leaving nothing but the raw, instinctual drive to survive and overcome all the perfect mirror images of myself. The second and third clones completely recovered from my previous counterattacks and rushed back into the immediate combat zone, rejoining the first duplicate to overwhelm my defenses with a perfectly flawless, three pronged assault. They moved with a terrifying level of synchronization, their attacks overlapping one another in a continuous, unbroken wave of sharp steel that left absolutely no room for any error or hesitation. The first clone executed a low sweeping cut aimed directly at my legs, the second duplicate launched a rapid middle level thrust toward my stomach, and the third clone brought its blade down in a heavy vertical chop aimed straight at my head. The extreme boost within my system responded instantly to the massive incoming threat, flooding my muscles with an explosive surge of pure kinetic energy that allowed me to perform a completely seemingly impossible physical feat. I leaped straight upward into the empty air, completely clearing the path of the low sweeping cut and the middle level thrust as the two blades crossed harmlessly beneath my boots. While perfectly suspended in mid air, I raised my own sword horizontally above my head to intercept the crushing downward strike of the third clone, the heavy impact of the collision sending a massive bright spark of friction flaring vividly against the uniform white backdrop of the pure light infinite dimension. The concussive force of the aerial block pushed my physical frame rapidly back down toward the invisible ground, my boots landing heavily upon the solid foundation as I instantly dropped my center of gravity to absorb the remaining momentum.

The instant my feet touched the invisible floor, the three clones immediately collapsed their formation inward, completely surrounding me on all sides to prevent absolutely any further evasive maneuvers within the pure white expanse. Their identical faces remained completely devoid of any emotion or physical exhaustion, their dark eyes reflecting the brilliant light of the boundless dimension as they prepared to execute their next coordinated sequence of high speed lethal strikes. I tightened my grip on the hilt of my weapon, feeling the steady, rhythmic pulse of the extreme boost vibrating powerfully through my reinforced hands and preparing my body to meet their entire combined assault head on. The first clone lunged directly from my blind spot, its sword cutting through the silent air with an absolute terrifying velocity that I only detected through the subtle shift in the ambient atmospheric pressure. I ducked underneath the horizontal slash on pure instinct, instantly bringing my blade around in a sharp upward arc that successfully deflected a perfectly simultaneous thrust coming from the second duplicate standing directly in front of my position. The sheer physical density of my amplified muscles allowed me to hold the parry completely firm, but the third clone immediately capitalized on my occupied guard by driving its knee forcefully into my side. The heavy physical impact completely shattered my balance, sending me sliding sideways across the solid invisible foundation while a sharp burst of pain flared intensely through my ribs.

The profound warmth of the healing energy flooded my damaged side in a fraction of a millisecond, completely repairing the bruised tissue and fractured bone before I even stopped sliding across the completely empty space. I dug the heel of my boot firmly into the invisible ground, forcing my backward momentum to a sudden absolute halt and instantly launching myself forward with an explosive burst of pure kinetic acceleration. I did not wait for the perfect duplicates to coordinate their next attack; instead, I took the absolute offensive, charging directly toward the third clone with an absolute unyielding determination to break their flawless synchronization. I swung my sword with every single ounce of raw power granted to me by the extreme boost, the sharp steel cutting through the boundless light in a massive heavy diagonal trajectory that forced the duplicate to raise its weapon in a desperate, hasty defense. The immense physical force of my heavy strike completely overpowered the clone guard, smashing its sword aside and leaving its chest entirely exposed to my rapid follow up attack. I drove my boot forward in a powerful front kick, the solid impact launching the duplicate violently backward through the uniform radiance and removing it from the zone. The grueling intensity of the battle showed absolutely no signs of fading as the remaining two clones instantly rushed forward to fill the gap, their swords moving in a continuous blur as the intense brutal, high speed training continued.
