Monica flapped her little wings and fled like a headless fly.

She was lucky; the artillery fire missed its mark, and she only lost a lock of hair.

But the shadow followed closely behind, relentlessly pursuing them.

They continuously harassed the enemy with earth spears.

Like a piglet being chased by a butcher, Monica glanced back and saw the shadow's indifferent eyes, which sent chills down her spine.

She had absolutely no confidence in defeating such an opponent!

She gets tired, gets nervous, and makes mistakes.

But the shadow doesn't.

"What to do, what to do?"

Monica was so anxious that her forehead was covered in sweat.

Suddenly.

A brilliant idea flashed into my mind.

So nervous was Monica that she only thought about escaping and forgot everything else.

"The secret pouch. Oh right, the captain gave himself a secret pouch! He also ordered that we must open it only when we enter the 'Heart Refining Mirror' level!"

Monica first used all her strength to flap her little wings, creating a safe distance between herself and the shadow.

Only then did we have the time to open the spatial ring.

Among a pile of handmade dolls and clothes, I found the white brocade pouch that Linda had given me.

As if grasping at a lifeline, Monica breathed a sigh of relief.

I thought there were some powerful magical items inside.

When they opened it, what they found was a note.

Monica was stunned.

Is the captain lying to her?

There was actually nothing in the brocade pouch, just a reassurance.

The team members were told to stay calm and not be afraid of encountering the "Heart-Refining Mirror".

Monica simply couldn't understand how she could win against the black monster behind her with just a piece of paper.

I read it with some skepticism.

Monica's expression became incredibly interesting.

One moment I want to laugh, the next I want to cry.

The title on the note was: [How to Defeat Your Shadow]

Step 1: Use the Earth Prison spell to continuously generate walls, blocking the opponent's line of sight, and then rush in.

Step 2: Rush to face-to-face distance.

Step 3: Equip the loot dropped when clearing floor 18, the Epic 2-star [Tiger Head Gauntlets], and activate the skill [Beast Blood Boiling] attached to the equipment.

Step 4: Punch it!

Step 5: Win.

"What is this?"

Monica was on the verge of tears.

She, a fragile little mage, actually managed to rush in front of the invincible shadow and whack him with her fists.

Shadow knew that if she did this, she could easily create distance and cast Earth Spear from a distance.

Without her staff, her spellcasting speed was greatly reduced.

All he could do was stand there in his boxing gloves, getting beaten up by his shadow like an idiot.

The already slim chances of winning have now become zero.

"But, but!"

Linda never lied to her.

In Monica's eyes, Linda was an invincible knight in shining armor.

A pair of timid big eyes mustered their courage and looked at the shadow in the distance.

Monica clutched the note in her palm, flapped her wings, and stopped in place instead of running away.

What is the prey doing?

A question flashed through Shadow's mind.

It raised its hand and shot out a spear of earth magic.

Bang!

The prey did not choose to flee.

The yellowish-brown particles condensed and quickly formed an earthen wall.

The spear struck it and shattered instantly.

But this does not mean the attack failed.

Creating walls with Earth Prison consumes five times the magic power of Earth Spear.

When two mages are of the same level and have identical skills, a battle between them is nothing more than a war of attrition and a tug-of-war.

It's a contest to see whose magic will give out first.

It's a contest to see who makes more mistakes.

A string of cold data flashed through Shadow's mind.

Your own win rate, +5%.

Based on the current conclusion, I have a 95% chance of winning.

In contrast, the prey only accounts for a negligible 5%.

"Earth Spear Technique".

The shadow waved its staff.

A two-meter-long, incredibly sharp spearhead shot towards Monica.

Bang!

The same situation as before has played out again.

Another earthen wall appeared.

Aerial combat differs from ground combat. Once the earthen wall is formed, it will immediately fall due to the laws of gravity and will not be able to continuously block the earthen spear.

Using such methods for defense is extremely cost-effective.

A hint of human mockery flashed in Shadow's eyes.

It pointed its staff at Monica and chanted three earth spear spells in succession.

After this attack, its win rate will rise from 95% to 100%.

The battle is over.

Whoosh!

The earth spear technique sped away.

Thud—

As expected.

The prey panicked and continued to generate earthen walls.

The remaining two earth spear techniques were also blocked by the earthen wall.

A confident smile appeared on Shadow's face.

We're going to win.

The prey's magic has almost completely dissipated.

Next comes the decisive blow.

The shadow calmly chanted the ultimate technique, "Falling Rock Technique."

This is a powerful spell that can even instantly kill heavily armored warriors.

The earthen wall couldn't stop it at all!

However, the shadow overlooked one fact.

The earthen wall blocked Monica's figure five times.

The release location was getting closer and closer each time.

As if Monica had planned it all along, she used the earthen wall to conceal her figure and approached the shadow in a roundabout way.

but.

What can a weak mage, who can't even kill a chicken, do even if he walks up to it?

Mages have weak defensive capabilities, compared to swordsmen.

If two mages engage in close combat, both will be "tanks" and neither will be able to kill the other.

"Eora!"

Sudden.
