Almost the instant Dannington's figure split into a hundred, a black sword thrust out from where he had been standing, and Christine's figure appeared at the same time.
But that strike still missed.
Dannington had already reassembled into a single figure in the distance.
Watching Dannington's evasive technique, Christine was secretly astonished. Dannington actually possessed a technique similar to a clone.
The Four Major Rules had no specific Profound Mysteries. Only the Heaven and Earth Rule knew the extent of one's comprehension. Naturally, the techniques derived from that comprehension varied from person to person.
Techniques similar to clones were extremely difficult to comprehend within the Death Rule.
This Dannington's attainments in the Death Rule had truly reached an inconceivable level.
Christine was not the only one shocked by Dannington's move. Dannington was equally surprised by Christine.
He knew that the Dark Law stood alone in its ability to conceal one's figure, but he could not imagine how Christine had silently slipped away from among those hundreds of clones while under his watch.
Or rather—
He had never determined Christine's true location from the start.
Either possibility showed that when a Paragon of the Dark Law concealed herself, other Paragons might not be able to pinpoint her location in a short time.
She really is troublesome.
Dannington sighed inwardly. This point alone made him somewhat hesitant in battle. Otherwise, one careless mistake could easily leave him open to Christine's attack.

Dannington merely smiled and did not explain
