Heroes' Prison

Chapter 313 - 307 Battle Between Doppelgangers and Incarnations

However, there were many types of invisibility skills for assassins: ordinary invisibility, absolute invisibility, invisibility on the spot, mobile invisibility, invisibility that reveals after attacking, and invisibility that does not reveal after attacking ... various kinds, and Huang Yi did not know which type Mirror Broken was using.

Huang Yi was not in a hurry, as his incarnation had more of an advantage over his original form when it came to dealing with invisibility.

He immediately put away his velociraptor, and the skin on his forehead suddenly moved, opening the exclusive third eye—a sharp eye radiating with blood light, looking extremely eerie!

This third eye was specifically designed to counter visual skills and was an ability unique to his incarnation, also the strongest feature of his incarnation. He turned his head and scanned the surroundings rapidly, as if he were a scanner, swiftly scanning all the objects around him.

Soon, Huang Yi spotted a faint figure in a clump of grass a hundred meters to his left—it was Mirror Broken!

From the moment Mirror Broken turned invisible to the moment Huang Yi opened his third eye, no more than 1 second had passed!

However, within that brief second, Mirror Broken had come down from the tree while invisible and hidden in the grass a hundred meters away!

Such speed was simply illogical!

Huang Yi continued to scan around as if nothing had happened, pretending he had not spotted Mirror Broken yet, but he was already prepared.

"Call of the Wild!" Taking the opportunity, Huang Yi immediately summoned a hunting dog and a falcon, distracting himself by controlling them and looking around as if on high alert.

At this point, Mirror Broken had already stealthily approached, switching his weapon to a dagger held in reverse grip, the angle of which was carefully calculated. His footsteps were exceedingly light, without any sound, not even touching the grass on the ground.

Finally, Mirror Broken gradually came closer, just the last dozen steps away from reaching him!

Huang Yi still acted as if he hadn’t noticed, looking around left and right, even turning his back on Mirror Broken.

But the moment Mirror Broken stepped behind him, he would launch the most advantageous counterattack!

"Whoosh!" At that moment, instead of continuing to walk as before, Mirror Broken charged like a warrior, using a charge skill to instantly rush forward! He swung his dagger and fiercely threw a backstab at Huang Yi!

This move was entirely unexpected for Huang Yi. Assassins did not have charge skills; only warriors and knights had those.

In that instant, driven by a seemingly natural battle instinct, Huang Yi spun around and hacked down with his broadaxe!

Mirror Broken, no longer invisible, looked slightly surprised. This backstab had been very stealthy, utterly unexpected, but Huang Yi still detected it and counterattacked so swiftly!

At that moment, Mirror Broken’s dagger thrust at Huang Yi, the sharp edge of the blade flashing dazzlingly!

Huang Yi’s broadaxe also cut towards Mirror Broken, the heavy blade tearing through the air!

The two fierce attacks were heading straight for each other; if neither dodged, it would be a mutual life-for-life hit.

The next moment, Mirror Broken retreated like lightning; an assassin could not afford to clash head-on with a warrior.

The assassin’s agility was extremely high, and he dodged Huang Yi’s attack instantly, with both of them then standing apart.

A breeze came, slightly easing the tense atmosphere. The first exchange ended in a draw, with neither gaining the upper hand.

But in reality, it was Huang Yi who had the advantage, breaking through Mirror Broken’s invisibility and charge skills.

"Thud! Thud! Thud!" The very next second, Mirror Broken lightning-fast drew his hand crossbow and shot at Huang Yi three times in quick succession, the speed of his hands blurring like a series of phantoms, and without any warning, the crossbow arrows were flying toward him.

Huang Yi was well-prepared, raising his broadaxe like a shield to block the three crossbow bolts.

But at that moment, Mirror Broken’s figure charged once more, his dagger gleaming with a cold light as he thrust fiercely at Huang Yi!

His series of actions was so rapid they were almost unseen. As soon as the crossbow arrows were fired, he was already charging forward, connecting the movements perfectly.

At that moment, Huang Yi was still raising his hand to block the crossbow bolts, completely unable to switch his hands in time to make any move against Mirror Broken’s charge!

With such a short distance between them and Mirror Broken using a charge skill, it barely took a blink of an eye for him to be upon Huang Yi!

And in that moment, Huang Yi’s figure abruptly lunged a small step in Mirror Broken’s direction!

Just that slight, negligible step!

Shortly after, the two collided!

The next moment, Mirror Broken stood motionless, stunned!

Huang Yi had not been able to take another action with his hands, but he instantly used "Pursuit", colliding with Mirror Broken, and his charge skill disrupted his opponent’s charge skill!

Mirror Broken had already used his charge, which had been exposed, and it only provided the rush without the stun effect. It was vastly inferior to Huang Yi’s genuine warrior charge skill. The two clashed, and Mirror Broken was immediately stunned!

Of course, this was Huang Yi’s doing. Had it been someone else, they wouldn’t have had the reflexes to react this way. They would’ve first have to endure Mirror Broken’s three crossbow bolts, then take his close-range hit!

If one were quick enough, they might block the crossbow bolts, but not Mirror Broken’s charging strike!

And the quicker high-level players might manage to block a crossbow arrow or dodge that charge from Mirror Broken!

Huang Yi didn’t only block the crossbow arrow but also successfully countered and stunned Mirror Broken, protecting himself, disabling the enemy, and thus transitioning from a passive to an active role, seizing control of the situation!

The reflexes needed for such a counterattack were excessively demanding; the opportunity vanished in the blink of an eye. A moment slower, and he would have been attacked by Mirror Broken first.

Battling an assassin, a class known for its agility, is like this: every second breeds numerous changes, a true test of reflexive speed.

Now was the time for Huang Yi to counterattack. Mirror Broken, stunned and unresponsive, clearly lacked any stun-releasing skills and could only be helplessly stunned for two seconds, vulnerable to Huang Yi’s two seconds of violent output.

In a duel between experts, two seconds is enough to be fatal!

The next moment, Huang Yi fiercely hurled a Heavy Judgment at Mirror Broken. The sharp edge of the axe cleaved through the air, carrying thrice his attack power, boosted by a potent Critical Damage Rune, and it viciously struck Mirror Broken!

"Bang!" Mirror Broken burst into a sky full of blood and flesh, not a bit remained!

Huang Yi was slightly stunned, not expecting to kill Mirror Broken in one move!

Suddenly, he sensed something was off. After Heavy Judgment kills an enemy, it should absorb the Essence of Life and recover 20% of Health Points, but he hadn’t recovered any health!

At that instant, a chill ran down Huang Yi’s spine, as if fine needles were descending, threatening to pierce his entire backbone!

Huang Yi reflexively rolled forward, narrowly escaping, and quickly turned to look back.

Behind him, another Mirror Broken had leapt down from above, landing where he had just been standing, holding a dagger that emanated a cold light!

If Huang Yi had dodged any slower just now, that dagger would be plunged into the top of his head!

Realizing this, Huang Yi suddenly understood everything that had transpired before!

The previous Mirror Broken was merely a decoy clone, with the real Mirror Broken using some sort of Absolute Invisibility to lie in wait on the tree. After all, in such a short amount of time, it was impossible for him to descend from the tree and hide in the bushes; the timing wasn’t right. That clone in the bushes had been prearranged to wait there.

The decoy clone was incredibly lifelike, deceiving even Huang Yi’s Third Eye, successfully drawing the firepower.

And in the instant Huang Yi killed the decoy, Mirror Broken took that opportunity to leap from the tree, carrying the force of the fall, to launch a stealthy and fierce attack on Huang Yi.

This series of ambushes was utterly unpredictable, leaving one clueless about their death.

Luckily, Huang Yi’s habit of remaining vigilant at all times allowed him to narrowly avoid the attack, otherwise, he would have been killed on the spot.

At this moment, due to the failed sneak attack, Mirror Broken was still crouching down, buffering the inertia from the fall.

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Huang Yi quickly charged forward, unleashing another Heavy Judgment!

"Bang!" Mirror Broken exploded into a cloud of flesh, instantly instakilled!

"Swoosh!" In that moment, before Huang Yi could react, a glint of cold light surged behind him, stabbing a dagger from the void into his back, and simultaneously, another Mirror Broken appeared from his rear.

Huang Yi’s Health Points hit rock bottom!

It was only then that Huang Yi understood Mirror Broken’s true intent!

The first Mirror Broken was a decoy, designed to confuse his attention. The second Mirror Broken was also a decoy, undetected even by Huang Yi, who had assumed it was the real one. The actual Mirror Broken had already reached behind him, unleashing the true attack!

In this exchange, Huang Yi had taken down two of Mirror Broken’s clones, but he himself was also hit, at a disadvantage. This series of deceptive clones had completely fooled him.

However, Huang Yi hadn’t died; his Death Penalty Exemption had activated, leaving him clinging to his last drop of blood!

"Last Stand!" Huang Yi instantly activated his life-saving skill, swinging his axe behind him!

Mirror Broken didn’t expect Huang Yi to still be alive, and, taken slightly off guard, rolled away just in time to dodge.

But Huang Yi clung to him like a persistent infection, the axe in his hand relentlessly chopping down, giving Mirror Broken no chance to retaliate.

"Scorched Earth!"

"End of the World"

"Judgment!"

This time, Huang Yi didn’t hold back, releasing three abilities with wide-ranging effects all at once. He hadn’t gone all out before, but now that Mirror Broken’s sequence of actions had nearly killed him, he couldn’t afford to hold anything back.

Area-of-effect abilities are the best way to combat assassins; regardless of their invisibility or clones, they are confined within the area, continuously sustaining damage.

With these three abilities from Huang Yi, Mirror Broken immediately sustained significant damage. The magma erupted, covering all the bushes, turning the area of several hundred meters into a sea of fire, while the miasma of Plague obscured vision, with poisonous fog everywhere. (To be continued.
