Lightning Is the Only Way

The ten black panthers immediately charged at Gravis, eliciting quite some nervousness from him. He had seen how Jessy replaced her body with a shadow body before, and he knew that these had to be fake. If they weren't fakes, she would not be an average level four King.

Additionally, she would have used that ability before she got as heavily injured as she was now. She was only trying this approach since the others haven't worked up to now.

Yet, this approach proved quite effective. Gravis had no way to discern the real one. The copies emulated even the dripping blood from Jessy's exposed flesh. By all intents and purposes, the copies were flawless. There was only one real body, and any attack from a fake wouldn't injure Gravis, but that was never Jessy's intent.

All ten copies charged at Gravis from different angles, and they all used the same attack, which was a swipe with her remaining claw. If Gravis couldn't block the real attack, he would receive a devastating injury.

BOOOM!

Gravis summoned several shields around his body and protected himself. One shield on his right was hit, and its fragments bounced off Gravis' body. Yet, since he hadn't used his hands to block, the claw wasn't stopped by the shield.

BANG!

Gravis turned to the real one and summoned another shield between himself and her. Gravis transformed his arms into lightning and barely managed to grab the shield with that move. Sadly, he couldn't put much strength into that block and was thrown into the distance.

Gravis shot through one of the copies while his arms broke. He hadn't been able to get a stable grip on the shield in such a short amount of time. The only thing Gravis could do was to restore his arms with his lightning, which decreased his power.

All copies of Jessy fused together and then split apart again. With this, Gravis wasn't able to discern the real one again. Then, they charged at him. This method had proven quite effective on him, and Jessy finally saw an opportunity to win this fight.

Gravis gritted his teeth as he made a decision.

BZZZZ!

Minuscule bolts of lightning swept over the surroundings and hit the black panthers. His lightning bolts shot through the copies, but the slight darkness Energy inside them destroyed a lot of lightning. Yet, with this method, Gravis was able to spot the real Jessy.

BANG!

Gravis charged directly at the real one, but instead of attacking, Jessy retreated. It was almost like she had expected such a move from Gravis. Luckily, thanks to Gravis' fast acceleration, he reached her before she could run too far.

Jessy immediately stopped and simply looked at Gravis with cold eyes. Then, several more copies appeared. Gravis had been prepared to unleash a devastating strike, but he couldn't be sure which one was real again.
