Even sparring with a clone inside the Ring is more interesting than fighting those enemies outside! I have to say, now that I've reached this level of strength, I really do need an equally strong opponent! Ruri thought after forcefully knocking the clone back with a slash.
"I didn't expect your strength to match mine, or your speed to be on par with mine. But your way of attacking really did catch me a little by surprise!" Ruri said to him with a smile after knocking the clone back with another slash.
A clone was a clone, after all. No matter how you looked at it, he was virtual. Whatever Ruri said, his face remained rigid, without a trace of expression. Nor did he say anything; he only focused single-mindedly on attacking Ruri.
After Ruri finished speaking, the clone paid no attention to his words and attacked him again.

"Lightning Blade? I really didn't expect that! Though I never expected him to attack this way in the first place!" Ruri murmured with a frown when he saw the clone use Lightning Blade.
The clone soon charged right up to Ruri, who still hadn't noticed at that moment. But when he saw the clone right before his eyes, the weapon in Ruri's hand instantly became a long blade, which he immediately raised in front of himself to block.
"That was really close. One moment of carelessness, and you nearly got me! Whatever the case, even if my injuries will heal completely once I leave, getting hurt by you here would still be a little embarrassing!" Ruri said
