Chapter 74 - 74. Epic Duel: Old vs New – Part B

*BOOOM! BOOOM! BOOOOM!* "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" *BOOOM* Nytri keeps dodging explosions around her, from the left to the right, before her and everywhere. *BOOOM! BOOOM!*

Somehow, the gun used by the clones evolved into rocket launchers leading to the current situation. *BOOOOM!* Nytri rolls on the ground and uses her hands to run for a bit as she continues on her feet, "THIS IS NOT WHAT I AGREED TO!" *BOOOOM!

Clone 6 jumps in the air as she aims for Nytri, the rocket launcher on her shoulder glows as it's loaded. Clone 6 smirks, "Quit moving, it's already hard trying to keep up with you."

"MY ASS!" *BOOOOM* Nytri dodges another explosion. The clones want to lure Nytri so they met and discuss for a way to do that. With their speed, no runes circles are helping since they just left it behind them. The only effective attack was a lightening attack but its accuracy is horrible at their speeds so a rocket launcher. Let's ignore the fact that some clones are holding heavy machine guns.

Nytri notices the cave before her, "Shet. They're trying to lure me into that. With all these attacks I've got no choice." Nytri runs into the cave as the 20 clones follow her, Nytri makes pillars rise from the ground behind her. *PLAT!* a clone runs into one plastered. Lights flashes in the dark cave as bullets fly around Nytri, now the bullets have homing features as it tracks Nytri. "WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIGHT MY CLONES?! THEY'RE MY CLONES! I can't even think of a way to fight back!"

*TATATATATATATA* Bullets are fired at Nytri, she moves the earth as pillars appear blocking the bullets. Nytri glances back as a pillar aims for a clone, she gets an idea. "That's it, the weapons their using are for ranged combat. They can't use it when I'm in arms reach." The bullets can break rocks but when the pillar forms right before the clones, they dodge the pillar and not shoot it.

Nytri turns as she slides back. She ducks as bullets pass over her head *PEW PEW PEW PEW*. Nytri runs towards her clones startling them, the clones couldn't prepare a counter attack in time. Nytri makes her hand like a blade as she pierces the belly of 2 clones making them turn into dust. "Two down, 28 more to go." She turns around and continue down the cave.

A cavern appears before them, the cavern is filled with special metal that will help Nytri's skills get tougher. Nytri's eyes glitter from seeing the metal as a screen appears before her.

Nytri yells, "AWESOME!! Huh-" She turns to see a missile coming. Nytri steps aside as she gets a tingle on her arms and left leg. Nytri lowers herself backwards till the tingling stops as 2 clones appear above her swinging their swords at where her arms use to be, she raises her leg dodging a bullet. She kicks one clone *POOM* as she raises herself and headbutt the other *BANG*. All the Nytris stop as they hold their head in pain, "AAAGGHH!" though only the real one and the other clone felt it. They hate headbutts.

Nytri gets up to run then notices she's been backed into a corner, "What?! When?!" she looks around and sees her clones about to surround her. Nytri notices traces of EP on the wall behind her, "They collapsed it?! Damnit, at this point I'll lose if I'm surrounded." Nytri looks at the ceiling.

Clone 4 rushes over, "We've got you cornered, Nytri! Give up!" she readies a shotgun… to fire scattering bullets. Nytri has no way to evade.

Clone 5 readies her sword, "You can't escape from us this time!" she stands behind Clone 4, if Nytri gets past clone 4 clone 5 attacks her.

Nytri looks around her, "Mtch, nowhere to go- " She feels a tingle on her face, she bents forward as a hammer passes over her head. She raises her left leg and raise it behind her hitting something as that thing crashes into the walls. Nytri keeps feeling tingles all around her body as she dodges everything by a hair's breadth. Clone 4 is still loading the shotgun but Nytri doesn't want to risk it since she has no idea.

Clon 16 charges at Nytri as EP orbs rotate in her hand, "Keep attacking her! Don't let up!" She pushes her hand forward as a ray is fired from it at Nytri. Nytri erects an EP shield blocking it, she makes a chopping motion as a ball of Abyss EP is chopped in half passing besides her.

Clone 7 laughs wryly, "She's tough when backed into a corner, but we can beat her here and now." Clone 7 raises her hands as rune circles appear beside her. Water blasts from the runes towards Nytri.

Nytri notices a tingle all over her back, she turns to see the water jet coming. "Mtch, ABYSSAL MAGIC > ABYSSAL ERUPTION." She slams her right hand into the ground as a miniature volcano erupts before her forming a wall of lava blocking the water jet. Nytri's left hand makes a shield blocking another attack to her right as her back is wide open.

Nytri's thoughts, "Forget attacking, I can barely defend! If I've got no way out then I'll make one. ARMORED SHELL." Nytri is covered in her armor as she jumps up towards the ceiling. The clones are surprised, "Huh? Where's she going?" They jump up to attack her as they're all in the air.

Nytri's looks at the ceiling, "INFORMATION MAGIC > PRECOGNITION, CLAIRVOYANCE, INTUITION, ANALYSIS, EXTREME HIGH SPECS, SIMULATION." As Nytri's is reaching the ceiling, time moves slowly. Nytri's mind is put on full throttle as simulations are run on the best way to make a way through the ceiling. Nytri's eyes move around erratically until finally settling on the ceiling.

Nytri heaves a deep breath, "ARMORED SHELL > DRILL. CONSTRUCT CREATION > GOLEM FUSION." Nytri raises her left hand as the armor on her hand expands. It moves upwards until a drill her size forms as it rotates slowly until it touches the ceiling, the speed of the drill moves so fast that she easily penetrates the ceiling. Nytri's right hand facing down, "ENERGY GENERATION > ENERGY BURST." EP gathers in her right hand as it expands like a sphere pushing all the clones back giving Nytri more space to fully enter the ceiling.

Nytri's right hand touches the walls around her as she also rotates, her right-hand slides across the walls around her as runes start to cover it. The clones gather below the hole looking up at it. Clone 24 shakes her head as she looks at the hole, "Do what she did! Don't take her hole." They all made drills trying to mimic Nytri's but they didn't fuse a golem to their armor so they had to make the hole bigger so they could fly upwards. Nytri's drill had a golem fused in it which was moving forward as she hanged on.

The surface of the mountain is serene with peace and quiet, nocturnal monsters start to rise as the sun lowers shining an orange shade on the mountain. *CRACK* A crack appears on the mountain. *CRACK CRACK* Nytri pops out from the mountain landing on her knee with the drill beside her. She turns around to look down the mountain, "If I can infuse golems with my armor then…." Nytri closes her eyes as the armor bulges.

10 swords appear from the armor as they hover around her menacingly. Nytri smiles, "Swe~et." She goes on to make more as they reach 200 hovering above the mountain pointing downwards. Nytri couldn't hide the grin etched on her face.

*CRACK CRACK CRACK* A lot of cracks appear on the mountain as the rocks are blown away. Nytri swipes her hands down as the swords speed down. Clone 8 makes an opening in the mountain as her head pops out of the mountain, her face pales in her armor. *CHOK CHOK CHOK CHOK CHOK CHOK* Nytri's swords pierce the entire area.

Nytri grins, "24 down, 4 to go." Clone 19 jumps out of the mountain aiming a rifle at Nytri, she fires it at multiple bullets fly towards Nytri. Nytri smiles as she stretches her hands towards clone 19. A sword appears before Nytri as it deflects all the bullets as 2 attack clone 19 from behind. *CHOK* Clone 19 is impaled as she turns to dust.

Clone 12 who's playing dead stands up pointing at Nytri, "FOUL PLAY! It's supposed to be 1 versus 1 not 200."

Nytri tilts her head, "But it is 1 versus 1. I'm your opponent not the swords." Swipes her hands as the swords attack clone 12. Clone 12 raises her hands surprising Nytri, "Huh? You're surrendering?"

Clone 12 nods, "It's smart to know when to give up." The swords fall down as Nytri sighs in relief. A screen appears before Nytri as the rest of the clone walk towards Nytri.

Nytri gives a wry smile, "A little longer and I would have fainted from exhaustion." The clones freeze.

Clone 25 kicks dirt in frustration, "DAMN IT ALL! SO CLOSE!" dirt flies around her, she isn't the only clone frustrated. All the fallen clones in the DATA LAKE are also frustrated.

Clone 25 takes a deep breath and turns to Nytri, "Whatever. Quickly resummon us so we can enjoy this new level too."

Nytri raises a hand, "Right after I recover a bit of EP. You guys attacked so much I could barely recover enough compared to how much I needed to protect myself." The clones give a wry smile as they all sit down and wait.

The sun's light falls on them as the landscape before them shows how beautiful the place is. The black grass turns orange with the blue over the field, monster like oxen arrive to graze as they watch the peaceful atmosphere.
