Chapter 100: Losing The Initiative
Ge Bai keenly noticed that the Empty Mirror Doll’s movement trajectory had changed.
It was no longer chasing Thousand Generations Sword’s Spatial Teleportation path, following behind its tail, but instead increased the frequency of Flash and Disappear.
At the same time, it randomly but evenly appeared in various places throughout the entire venue, setting up Mirror Doors.
Ge Bai raised her head to look at the Empty Mirror Doll, slightly narrowing her eyes. She knew the opponent was preparing to play big.
But could they secure the final victory just by setting up Mirror Doors?
From the current situation shown by the Empty Mirror Doll and the Mirror Doors, it was definitely not possible.
“Big Willow, Thousand Generations Sword, try a few more times.”
Ge Bai sent voice transmissions to Big Willow and Thousand Generations Sword respectively, asking them to try the spatial channel usage logic of the Mirror Doors again, and also shared her own ideas.
The first case was to launch an attack at the Mirror Door where it was located just as the Empty Mirror Doll appeared or was about to disappear.
The second case was to launch an attack at any Mirror Door when it appeared or was about to disappear.
Additionally, Thousand Generations Sword would try launching Thousand Generations Sword at any Mirror Door at any time.
The two little ones understood and quickly took action.
There was no need to aim at the Empty Mirror Doll, just aim at the Mirror Door, which would be much simpler.
While Ge Bai kept a close eye on the battlefield, Shi Chenliang frowned.
The Empty Mirror Doll was racing against time to create Mirror Doors, while Big Willow and Thousand Generations Sword were going all out.
Wind Blades and Thousand Generations Swords flew all over the field, dazzling the eyes.
Now it was a race against time to see which side could find the breakthrough in this match faster.
Soon, Big Willow and Thousand Generations Sword’s attempts yielded results.
Suddenly, one of Big Willow’s Wind Blades grazed past the Empty Mirror Doll’s side and disappeared into a Mirror Door.
This time, the Wind Blade did not pass straight through the Mirror Door, but disappeared into the Mirror Door along with the Empty Mirror Doll, instantly appearing behind another Mirror Door.
The second rule emerged.
Big Willow’s physical attacks could only potentially damage the Empty Mirror Doll or borrow the spatial channel if they followed into the Mirror Door it was in within half a second of its appearance or disappearance, with the landing point being random.
Thousand Generations Sword’s attempts were also very effective.
Probably because Thousand Generations Sword itself possessed spatial attribute spiritual power fluctuations, the Mirror Door’s restrictions on Thousand Generations Sword were much fewer.
The third rule.
At any time, as long as Thousand Generations Sword’s space element spiritual power attacks were launched at a Mirror Door, they would connect with the spatial channel behind the Mirror Door and randomly appear behind any Mirror Door.
Not only that, after frequent testing, Big Willow blindly stumbled upon a lucky hit.
One Wind Blade was randomly shot at a Mirror Door, and just then, the Empty Mirror Doll appeared in another door.
A coincidence happened.
This Wind Blade disappeared into this Mirror Door and emerged from the Mirror Door behind the Empty Mirror Doll, with a fairly precise landing point, grazing the Empty Mirror Doll’s right arm.
“Quiet!”
The Empty Mirror Doll cried out in pain, and a deep blood mark immediately appeared on its right arm.
Rule four: When the Empty Mirror Doll teleports, physical ranged attacks have a chance to find the activated spatial channel, thereby damaging the Empty Mirror Doll shuttling through the Mirror Doors.
In other words, as long as Big Willow kept a close eye on the Empty Mirror Doll and launched Wind Blades at enough Mirror Doors when it was about to use a Mirror Door to teleport, there was a high probability of damaging the Empty Mirror Doll.
This was probably the ultimate way for physical attacks to damage space element pet beasts.
Moreover, the Wind Blade that Big Willow casually released actually caused such a deep wound on the Empty Mirror Doll, which showed that this Empty Mirror Doll’s Defense Power was also terribly low.
This was normal, come to think of it.
Space element pet beasts were usually renowned for their strong attack deception and field control abilities, while Defense Power had never been their strength.
“This little girl Ge Bai has a very clear brain.”
The efforts of Ge Bai and Shi Chenliang on the field were seen by everyone in the stands.
They were not confused by the opponent, nor did they allow the opponent to set up freely. Instead, they calmly analyzed and carefully thought on the field, finding a way to break the situation.
In this match so far, Shi Chenliang’s performance could only be described as average, merely accelerating the rhythm of the Empty Mirror Doll’s normal tactics.
However, Ge Bai’s response on the field was still very eye-catching.
Principal Hu Shuo did not stint on praising Ge Bai.
“A bit slow, and this only shows that Ge Bai is not familiar with the skills and coping tactics of various pet beasts. Otherwise, why would she have to find ways on the field.”
Professor Luo Wan rarely did not echo others’ praise for Ge Bai, only because his expectations for Ge Bai were higher.
“That’s not entirely true.” Professor Hu Shuo had his own view. “The accumulation of knowledge and information requires time and process.”
“But the ability Ge Bai showed to stay calm in the heat of battle and adapt accordingly is still very valuable.”
What Principal Hu Shuo said made sense. Professor Luo Wan nodded, but still showed a worried expression, just as he said, Ge Bai was a bit slow.
Originally, figuring out these rules of the Empty Mirror Doll’s Mirror Domain was enough to make Ge Bai and the others happy. Using these rules well to organize a decent counterattack was no problem.
But regrettably, at this point, there were already 37 Mirror Doors on the venue, a number much higher than when the Empty Mirror Doll faced the Tiger with Upward-Looking Eyes in the previous match.
From a distance, the entire venue was filled with Mirrors at various angles, truly like the name of this skill—a Mirror Domain.
Big Willow’s Wind Blades, even at full power, could not provide field-wide coverage damage, let alone Thousand Generations Sword, whose firing frequency was far lower than Big Willow’s.
Caught in a dilemma, Ge Bai sighed and slightly frowned.
If they had discovered these rules earlier, when the Empty Mirror Doll had only set up two or three Mirror Doors, and had Big Willow and Thousand Generations Sword fully fire a large number of Wind Blades and Thousand Generations Swords at one Mirror Door.
And control Thousand Generations Sword to immediately erupt with Space Distortion after teleportation.
One could imagine, the victory in this match would have been secured.
Talking about it now was all after the fact.
After Big Willow and Thousand Generations Sword’s attacks took effect, the rhythm inevitably slowed down.
At the same time, the Empty Mirror Doll no longer frequently Flashed and Disappeared.
At this point, every time it set up a new Mirror Door, it would randomly make one Mirror Door disappear.
Saturation.
Seeing this, Shi Chenliang’s eyes lit up, and he sent a voice transmission to the Empty Mirror Doll, “Find the right moment and strive for a one-shot resolution.”
Although Ge Bai still didn’t know what the Empty Mirror Doll would do next after the Mirror Doors reached saturation, she could tell without thinking that the opponent had gained the initiative and the big move was coming.
“Thousand Generations Sword, be cautious.” Ge Bai sent a voice transmission to Thousand Generations Sword. “I have a bad feeling. Stay as far away from all Mirror Doors as possible.”
“Mm!”
