However, Jared chose not to fight back. Instead, he mumbled something, causing the blue flames to connect and form an arcane array.
These flames became reflective like mirrors, reflecting Jared and Ichiro. Lights reflected from one flame to another. Suddenly, a dozen shadow clones of Jared appeared.
Jared's shadow clone scattered all around the arcane array. Ichiro was stunned. He could no longer differentiate which one was the real Jared.
“What do you think? My shadow clones are quite convincing, aren't they?" Jared sneered. He had thought of this method the instant he saw Ichiro use the Nine Shadows technique on Andrew.
“Argh...” Ichiro yelled furiously. He immediately slashed his magic sword at the arcane array.
The light barriers disappeared when Ichiro's magic sword slashed through them. However, they reappeared the instant he removed his magic sword.
Then, Ichiro realized that the blue flames sustained the light barriers. He had to put out these blue flames to destroy the light barriers.
Ichiro exerted martial energy onto the blue flames, but none of them went out. They did not even flicker from his attacks.
“It seems we can finally battle fair and square. Your illusions are useless now," Jared said as he looked at Ichiro’s sullen expression.
Ichiro looked at Jared grimly and removed all his shadow clones. Then, he replied, “What makes you think this is enough to overcome my Nine Shadows technique? Nine Shadow Clones are only a small part of the Nine Shadows technique. You have yet to witness its true power.”
Ichiro quickly raised the thin-bladed magic sword high and roared. A burst of green light appeared in his eyes. At the same time, his fighting spirit rose drastically, and his whole body gave off a murderous aura.
“The first technique from the Nine Shadows technique, Colossal Sword Energy!” Ichiro shouted.
Immense martial energy gathered on the magic sword. Then, Ichiro threw the magic sword up before flipping it in mid-air. The magic sword sparkled with a green light and enveloped Jared's head with its energy.
