Chapter 40: Facing the Clones Again
One second before the stun effect vanished, he jumped backward, a couple of meters, while blocking one way, leaving the other opened.
As he did so, and with the stun effect finally ended, the monster screamed in extreme humiliation much more than pain, and she started to move.
As he expected, she didn't fall twice in his trap. She jumped towards him, while waving her sword towards him. her speed was higher than his from the start, but he was already anticipating her.
So, as his feet touched the ground, he jumped again, to the back, a couple of meters, creating enough distance with her, while tuning his direction to be oblique with the monster, forming an angel with the wall behind her.
However, he greatly underestimated this monster!
The moment he retreated, the monster didn't follow suit, as she waved her whip in a second, catching three of his friends behind him, using the long ends of the whip, as it turned out she could use them, consciously controlling them.
Bloom saw it coming, the terrible fate they would face, so he just waited to his feet to touch the ground so he could use his skills!
"Boom!"
"Stab!"
"Boom!"
"Dash!"
"Boom!"
"Dash!"
"Boom!"
He hurriedly used his stab skill, so he could link it with his dash skill, but at this mere second the first player, the martial artist, hit the wall heavily with his body, while her sword penetrated his heart, stabbing him without hesitation.
As he used his first Dash, the second player, the first swordsman, hit the wall heavily causing severe booming sound. Just as his sword penetrated her body, she already stabbed the poor swordsman with her sword.
As he drove her body to the first direction, Gored had already hit the wall, but before she could act with her sword, he had linked the first dash with the second, violently twisting her body, forcing it to move into the opposite direction, to be pinned into the wall behind her, finally stunning her!
In these mere seconds, two players were lost! Scary! Bloom and everyone else here thought so, as they missed the first docile version of this seductive mutated human monster!
"Let's make sure she properly loses her Hp more than before!"
Bloom shouted while he started his own barrage of attacks. Ten seconds, with five players attacking the monster constantly, while one of them was only a supportive class, made them cause two thousand and five hundred damage in these ten minutes.
Mostly was done by Bloom alone!
Just as the ten seconds passed, the monster screamed, while her body started to become blurry.
"Retreat, and be ready," Bloom said, while adding, "upgrade your weapons the moment the clones appear."
They all retreated, while the previous fog started to appear, forming five clones of the five remaining players here. Bloom didn't return with them, as he had two missions to complete, killing his clone, and killing Gored's clone.
These two clones were a nuisance, and he intended to kill them in this order, while Peri's clone would be left for last.
The moment the five clones appeared, each with approximately nine hundred Hp points, Bloom spotted his clone, which was standing in the forefront, and then he moved towards it.
And his clone moved towards him as well, followed by the three other clones.
Bloom first didn't attack, as he knew if he did, he would be entangled with his clone in this unfavorable position for him, surrounded by other clones. So, he waited for his clone to attack first.
His clone started with the basic skill, stab. Bloom suddenly paused in his tracks, jumped to the side, before jumping back, driving his body away from the course of the skill of his clone.
As he expected, his clone followed using his second sword, while changing his direction, moving away from the other clones. At this moment, and before any other clone would join them, Bloom started to act.
"Stab."
"Slice."
"-70'
"140"
"300"
"+100"
"+50"
"+50��
Three damages appeared from this rapid exchange with two healing skills from Peri's clone. Bloom moved to the side of his clone, being finally in his favorite position.
"Dash!"
The moment he was on his clone side, he used his first dash skill. just as his sword penetrated his clone, driving it forward, he linked it with another dash.
"Dash!"
"Boom!"
This sudden shift in direction messed the formation of the other three clones behind him, making him pin that noisy clone of his on the wall, dealing two subsequent big amounts of damage, almost this close from killing it, and stunning it on the wall for ten seconds.
"300"
"+50"
"+50"
"+50"
"+50"
"600"
Peri's clone managed to add two hundred points to the Hp of his clone, barely making it escape death. Bloom didn't plan to wait the whole ten seconds here, as he hurriedly used four skills in a row without even thinking about it.
"Stab."
"Stab."
"Stab."
"Stab."
"140"
"+50"
"140"
"+50"

Even with the intervention of Peri's clone, Bloom's clone finally was killed, falling on the ground, dissipating into fog.
Bloom didn't wait for the fog to completely vanish, as he was already hunted by the other three clones.
"Dash!"
He used his second dash to escape, again, from their clutches, heading straight towards Peri. Now there were four clones, each with over a thousand Hp, so hitting Peri and making her busy healing the three hundred damage caused by his charge was enough for him.
He turned, letting her be busy healing herself, while he glanced at the three incoming clones. Gored was the closest one to him, and now he was the last one, but he couldn't use any of his dash skills, as the two were already on cooldown.
"Let's dance and have fun then," he evilly smirked, as he directed his sword towards Gimmy's clone, the closest to him, while using his skills smoothly like he was breathing.
"Stab."
"Slice."
"Stab."
"Stab."
"200"
"300"
"200"
"200"
His stabs suddenly started creating crits, which made his damage soar. He didn't plan to finish this clone now, making it last for the end, but now he had the temptation to finish it.
Gimmy's clone, on the other hand, didn't stop using his attack skills over him, but they all did pathetic damage, only fives and tens for him.
"Let's finish you off, you AOE skill is really a team wipe out skill," Bloom muttered when he noticed his Hp starting to fall dramatically despite being hit with small numbers of damages. As he decided so, he linked his attacks with another barrage of attacks.
""Stab."
"Stab."
"Stab."
"Stab."
"200"
"100"
"200"
"200"
Four skills managed to clear all the Hp remaining in this clone, making it fall, and strengthening the other clones in the meanwhile.
"Let's get rid of you then," Bloom muttered, as he glanced at Gored's clone, while using his trump card skill over it.
"Dash!"
The moment he used the skill, his body moved to hit Gored, but suddenly, another body appeared in front of him, taking the toll of the skill, which was linked at once with his other dash.
"Dash!"
"Boom!"
"300"
"600"
The moment San's clone hit the wall, two huge damages appeared on top of his head. Bloom frowned, as this idiotic clone jumped in his way, defending Gored, and taking the blame for his attacks.
Bloom glanced at Gored, who just smirked, with an evil smile over his face. This was indeed intentional, and Bloom just lost his two trump card skills in this crucial timing.
And that wasn't all!
