Rain could almost see the face of the enemy, completely astonished as the monster was completely defeated and in the blink of an eye at that. It didn't take long for another doppelganger to appear… the beast arrived and looked actually thirty centimeters taller and larger than Rain as well.

"If I lift enough, can I actually grow thirty more centimeters?" Rain furrowed his eyebrows.

Those were the effects of Limit Breaker and the envy combined… the enemy created a doppelganger with a Limit Breaker at a higher level than Rain's. Regardless, the best charged at him and punched Rain's face with all its might… or at least it tried. Rain blocked the attack with his left elbow and then pushed the enemy to the side before attacking its stomach.

The impact of Rain's attack sent shockwaves through the Doppelganger's form. In an explosive display, the creature shattered into countless fragments suspended in the air. Yet, the spectacle didn't end there. The liquid remnants of the Doppelganger, infused with dark energies, began to freeze rapidly.

Before long, the air was filled with the haunting sound of crystallization as the darkened liquid solidified into an array of dark crystals, showering the ground below. The trick behind Rain's power lay in his ability to harness the potency of Wrath and swiftly manage its potentially overwhelming influence.

The surge of power coursed through him, intensifying his every move. However, Rain, ever mindful of the volatile nature of Wrath, wasted no time. Before the overwhelming effects of rage could wrest control from him, he deftly unequipped the Wrath path.

"Are you not entertained?" Rain asked after he opened his arms. "Hmm? This is working… If stupidity were a superpower, you'd be the hero of the century. Are you aiming for victory or just trying to set a record for the most misses in a single battle?"

Rain felt the effects of Wrath decreasing as he joked around. Even though he changed the path, he still felt like crushing a few things with his bare hands but smiling and laughing a little were helping.

When Rain calmed down, he turned around to see the others. Sealyn finished her enemy, but another Doppelganger was approaching to fight her. He also soon felt a presence approaching him…

"This guy…" Rain furrowed his eyebrows. "This is truly a pain..."

Another buffed version of Rain arrived, but this one even had four arms. Seeing something like that with his face made Rain frown and lose his focus for a moment. Which the enemy used to charge at him…

"Ugh…" Rain groaned in pain when he blocked a double left punch with his right arm and then felt his bones cracking.

Before Rain had the chance to recover, the enemy grabbed his left hand and kicked his stomach… after spinning in the air a couple of times, Rain landed on his knees, and the enemy followed that with a sequence of punches on his face.

Still, before the first hit could actually reach him, it stopped a couple of centimeters away from his face. The enemy kept attacking while Rain was getting up, but while his arms were blurring, he blocked all of the attacks… it was the only thing he could do, though, with his hands.

"I don't have time for this…" Rain thought.

As Rain concentrated his energy, the air around him crackled with an ominous aura. Countless dark mana swords materialized, surrounding the buffed Doppelganger from all directions. With a swift and synchronized motion, the swords pierced through the enemy, leaving no room for the creature to escape. The beast struggled, its multiple arms flailing against the onslaught of dark blades.

The dark mana swords continued their assault, relentlessly piercing through the enemy's body. The air resonated with the sound of slicing, and the Doppelganger's groan of pain filled the battlefield. As the pressure intensified, the creature's body finally erupted in a burst of dark energy, fragments of its liquid form scattering like shattered glass.

Rain stood there, his eyes still glowing with the residual power of Wrath. The echoes of the battle slowly faded, leaving behind a trail of dark crystals and dissipating shadows.

"If this shithead sends another Doppelganger… wait, that direction again, it can't be a coincidence," Rain thought when he saw another doppelganger approaching.

The next Doppelganger had four arms and wings, too… At that point in time, only the face looked like Rain, so he couldn't help but frown.

The winged Doppelganger soared through the air, its wings cutting through the shadows as it attempted to execute quick maneuvers and faints, hoping to outmaneuver Rain. However, Rain remained concentrated, and his focus was unwavering. Instead of falling for the deceptive aerial acrobatics, he glanced at his companions.

The rest of the group was still entangled in their individual battles, and the winged Doppelganger seemed determined to keep them busy indefinitely. Rain realized that he couldn't let the enemy dictate the pace of the fight any longer. With a determined expression, he readied himself for the next confrontation.

All of a sudden, Rain disappeared, and when the Doppelganger tried to fly away, the ominous Sword appeared in front of the creature covered in dark flames. Then, in the next moment, the monster was split in half, and then Rain used Impulse in the direction the Doppelganger came from.

"This is weird… how come you are able to kill them when they come stronger?" Elisabetha asked.
