"This doesn't make sense." Song Shuhang scratched his head.
Unlike Merit Light and the Steel Avatar, the Flame Doppelganger was purely a substitution spell. Once used, it would never "return." It was a consumable skill.
It was much like a Fireball Spell.
Logically speaking, if a mage cast a Fireball Spell and an enemy caught the fireball and modified it... that process would have nothing to do with the mage who cast it.
No matter how the enemy modified the "released fireball," it couldn't affect the mage's Fireball Spell skill.
But what was this supposed to be?
After the new Big Sixteen Flame Doppelganger appeared, her first reaction was to reach up and forcibly yank off her Mirage Dragon horn amid a series of "Yayayaya~" cries.
Then she grabbed the Mirage Dragon horn and began stabbing her own body, with no desire to cling to life and every desire to die.
"It's over. It's all over," Song Shuhang muttered.
"What's over?" Onion Lady looked at Song Shuhang in confusion.
"His Flame Doppelganger secret technique is ruined," Senior White explained, taking a blissful sip of tea.
Song Shuhang looked up at the sky.
The Flame Doppelganger was a lifesaving skill.
It could perfectly replicate the original's appearance and die in the original's place.
But now, whenever he cast the Flame Doppelganger, it would take on Big Sixteen's appearance... its effectiveness as a substitute was greatly diminished. At the very least, he couldn't use it to trick enemies into wasting their ultimate attacks.
More importantly, the moment the Big Sixteen Flame Doppelganger appeared, she would pull off her Mirage Dragon horn and enter self-harm mode.
If Song Shuhang used the Flame Doppelganger at a crucial moment in a future battle, only for it to turn into Big Sixteen and start stabbing herself
