Chapter 54 Cracking the Twin Birth

Two identical Greater Demons, Kilrod, fiercely attacked Shi Feng's true body and his doppelganger.

Shi Feng, already at a disadvantage in Strength, was immediately on the defensive, forced to dodge and evade.

Although Shi Feng had reached the Flowing Water Realm, he could generally predict the Greater Demon Kilrod's attack trajectory and evade in advance, but the long spear in the Greater Demon Kilrod's hand was like a viper, constantly entangling him, repeatedly aiming for Shi Feng's weak points with fatal strikes.

Anyone else would have found it difficult to even block, let alone dodge.

When Shi Feng couldn't evade, he had no choice but to use his sword to block.

However, the Greater Demon Kilrod's immense strength would knock Shi Feng back several steps, dealing over a thousand points of damage. Fortunately, he had activated Dragon Strength, which increased his Defense and HP by 300%, bringing his HP to over 30,000, allowing him to barely hold his own for a while.

However, Shi Feng could only maintain Double Burst for twenty seconds. Once those twenty seconds were up and he entered a weakened state, he would be powerless to resist.

Before long, the doppelganger was killed by the Greater Demon Kilrod.

"Hahaha, human, you are indeed remarkable. To be able to wound me, the Greater Demon Kilrod, to this extent as merely a Tier 1 Swordsman… As a reward, I will make you my puppet, to obey my every command for all eternity!" The Greater Demon Kilrod looked at Shi Feng, who was desperately resisting his attacks, and smiled coldly.

Xia Lian, watching this scene from a distance, frowned slightly and sighed, "As expected, it was still too much to ask?"

Shi Feng's doppelganger was gone, and Flame Burst was still on cooldown. Even with the Twilight of the Gods domain halving the cooldown time, it still needed another minute and thirty seconds.

Most importantly, he still had to face two Greater Demons, Kilrod, with identical stats and 40% HP remaining.

Shi Feng had no chance of winning.

Once the two Greater Demons, Kilrod, attacked Shi Feng together, it would be his death.

"Human, resign yourself to becoming my slave!"

In an instant, the two Greater Demons, Kilrod, appeared before Shi Feng, their faces filled with ferocious intent, attacking Shi Feng from the front and back.

"So it's just the Twin Birth technique. Did you really think I wouldn't know how to break it?"

Seeing the two Greater Demons, Kilrod, attacking him from the front and back, the previously serious expression on Shi Feng's face suddenly vanished, replaced by a disdainful, confident smile.

Hearing Shi Feng say "Twin Birth technique," the Greater Demon Kilrod's expression turned grave.

The Twin Birth technique was a special skill, without any tier, that used a treasure to create a doppelganger with the exact same stats as the original. The doppelganger and the original shared HP, but the doppelganger would take 300% more damage. While it greatly increased combat power, it also greatly increased the damage taken, making it a double-edged sword. If used well, it was infinitely powerful, but if used poorly, it would cut off one's own escape route.

"So what if you recognize the Twin Birth technique? Can you tell which one is the original and which one is the doppelganger?" The Greater Demon Kilrod didn't believe that Shi Feng could tell them apart. The Twin Birth technique made them identical, impossible to distinguish with the naked eye. "Even if you know which one is the doppelganger, can you block the attacks of two of me?"

Shi Feng didn't say anything. He simply pointed Abyssal Blade at the sky, and countless golden holy swords appeared in mid-air.

Instantly, countless Swords of Light fell, and two different damage numbers appeared above the two Greater Demons, Kilrod. The Greater Demon Kilrod in front of Shi Feng took over 5,000 damage, while the Greater Demon Kilrod behind him took over 15,000 damage. It was immediately obvious which was the true body and which was the doppelganger.

But Shi Feng's offensive wasn't over. Immediately afterward, Abyssal Blade was swung.

Abyssal Curse!

Instantly, the space within a 30-yard radius turned into a quagmire, and both Greater Demons, Kilrod, were unable to move.

Although the Greater Demon Kilrod was immune to stun effects and general restriction effects, Abyssal Blade was already of Epic rank. While it might not be able to restrict the Greater Demon Kilrod for five seconds, restricting them for two or three seconds was enough for Shi Feng.

"I've been waiting a long time for this moment."

Shi Feng used Silent Steps to appear behind the doppelganger Kilrod, and the Abyssal Blade in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling fire.

"This… how is it possible? You can still use that skill!" The Greater Demon Kilrod, who had been calm just moments before, suddenly paled.

The move Shi Feng was using now was none other than Flame Burst, which had just dealt him severe damage. But Shi Feng had just used it not long ago, and now he was using it again to deal with his doppelganger. How could he not be terrified?

"Die!"

Shi Feng didn't explain. Just as the Greater Demon Kilrod's doppelganger had killed his doppelganger, he used the 30 stacks of Death Energy he had accumulated to empower Flame Burst. Each stack of Death Energy could reduce the skill's cooldown by 3 seconds, so 30 stacks was exactly 90 seconds. Then, he deliberately pretended to barely be able to withstand the attacks of one Greater Demon Kilrod, allowing the Greater Demon Kilrod to attack from both sides, giving him the opportunity to kill Kilrod's doppelganger.

Twelve consecutive sword slashes struck the immobile doppelganger Kilrod.

Originally, Shi Feng could deal over 20,000 damage with Flame Burst, and a critical hit would be over 40,000. Now, with a 300% increase, each hit was over 60,000 damage, and a critical hit was over 120,000. The 400,000 HP was simply not worth mentioning. He instantly killed the Greater Demon Kilrod's doppelganger.

"No!" The Greater Demon Kilrod screamed in anguish.

Unfortunately, the Twin Birth technique shared HP, so the death of the doppelganger meant the death of the original. The Greater Demon Kilrod had calculated everything, but he hadn't anticipated that Shi Feng was a Rebirth-er, extremely familiar with the skills in God's Domain and aware of the weaknesses of various skills.

Just as Shi Feng killed the Greater Demon Kilrod, a golden light flashed across his body, flashing twice in a row.

Shi Feng's level immediately increased from 32 to 34.

"What generous experience points!" Shi Feng said in surprise.

Because he was the Hidden Class Blade Saint, the experience points required to level up were twice that of normal players. The experience points required for each level were terrifying. Gaining two levels at once not only made up for the one level lost in World Peak but also gained him an additional level.

System: Completed the Epic Quest "Darkness Descends," reward: Demon Slayer Title, Star-Moon Kingdom Reputation +50, White River City Reputation +500, automatic promotion to Earl of White River City.

System: Congratulations to player for being promoted to Earl of White River City. You can recruit one hundred guards, including four direct guards. All consumption in White River City will be discounted by 20%.

"As expected of an Epic Quest, one quest and I'm promoted to Earl. The expenses for the Coliseum of Gods and Demons will be reduced a lot in the future," Shi Feng said with a smile.

If a Viscount was a great noble of a city, then an Earl was the top figure among the great nobles.

In the player settings of God's Domain, for large cities like White River City, the highest title was Marquis. Only Star-Moon City and above had Dukes, so being able to become an Earl of White River City was already remarkable.

The biggest difference between an Earl and a Viscount, besides the difference in guards and status, was the Coliseum of Gods and Demons for players.

The Coliseum of Gods and Demons was a place to improve a player's combat power, and all expenses were in Magic Crystals. Viscounts received no discounts, but Earls could, which was why so many players wanted to be promoted to Earl, as it could save a lot of money.

Compared to ordinary players, the significance of an Earl was even greater for players with private territories, because Earls also had more powerful privileges, which was the capital for players to rise in a city.
