Minori carefully observed the appearance of the shadow clone and confirmed that it was exactly the same as the caster himself, except that its aura was much weaker.
Even without using the "Ninjutsu · Detection" ability, he could sense the strength of the shadow clone's aura.
"The aura is very weak, inheriting only 1/4 of the level is about right."
"Most importantly, I can only clone one at a time, which is not as good as that guy Naruto, even though the ninjutsu has the same name."
"No wonder the insect maid of the maid corps didn't pay much attention to this skill back then."
Minori complained, then raised his finger and poked the shadow clone's cheek:
"Oh, the touch of a real person. That's not bad."
"Can you speak?"
Looking at the silent shadow clone being poked in the cheek, Minori's eyes revealed understanding.
"Looks like it can't speak."
Minori was a little disappointed. This would reduce the space for operation a lot. Then his eyes straightened:
"Then, let's begin."
The instant he finished speaking!
The shadow clone instantly raised its fist, and with an uppercut, it slammed towards Minori's chin.
The fist broke through the air, making a whirring sound, looking full of power.
Facing this punch.
Minori didn't dodge at all, letting this seemingly heavy blow hit his chin.
Bang!
The fist hit the chin and made a muffled sound, forming a burst of energy that spread between the two.
However.
Minori was not only not knocked back, but even his head didn't move in the slightest. However, his eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly: "1/4 of the physical attack level, can't even break through basic defense."
"But I can feel the force. It's the effect of the passive ability of 'Aura of Courage'. It seems that passive abilities can be used."
Whoosh!
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the shadow clone quickly took a step back, nimbly moved horizontally to the left, and swung its leg in a side kick, attacking the back of Minori's waist.
In a few breaths!
The shadow clone quickly changed its position, attacking various weak points on Minori's body, but except for the first hit which had a passive bonus and caused a critical hit effect.
The remaining dazzling attacks had no effect at all.
Minori didn't care about this, but instead had a satisfied look on his face: "It has quite good combat awareness and can carry out independent battles."
"This is similar to 'Heroic Spirit Soul'."
With a thought in his mind.
The shadow clone immediately stopped attacking and returned to Minori's front.
"It can attack on its own, and the caster can also control it with subjective consciousness."
Minori has now figured out the shadow clone's mode of action, and overall he is quite satisfied.
"Release a class skill and take a look."
The shadow clone stood still.
"Class skills cannot be used at all, and 'Physical Armament' is even more impossible. As expected, even 'Heroic Spirit Soul' has most class skills that cannot be used."
"Use martial arts."
"Huh? Martial arts can be used, which is surprising... No, the attack intensity is too low."
Minori stopped the shadow clone again, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, not disappointed, but not surprised either.
"No wonder the 'Shadow Clone Technique', which is clearly a class skill, only has a one-hour cooldown and can be used continuously."
"In the game, it should be completely used as an auxiliary, harassment, exploration, and distraction role."
After some experiments.
Minori extinguished the option of using the shadow clone as a close combat role. He did not have a thief-type class build, and the shadow clone could not exert the characteristics of a pure assassin.
Whoosh——
The previous research had already made the shadow clone reach the upper limit of its existence time, and it turned back into a pool of black shadows and dissipated.
Minori didn't care about this, and quietly waited for the cooldown time to pass.
An hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"Ninjutsu: Shadow Clone Technique!"
Minori's shadow wriggled again, and the shadow clone emerged from the shadow:
"Second experiment, magic."
In addition to inheriting the caster's "Agility" stat, the shadow clone also has a "Magic Power" stat, which is also what he cares about most.
The shadow clone moved its feet and quickly distanced itself, standing ten meters away.
"The [Ninja] class is a high-level thief class that can only be obtained above level 60 in 'YGGDRASIL', and belongs to a pure thief class build."
"Whether it's game players or Tina and others from another world, thief-type classes don't have high magic power, and the thief's ability is in close combat."
Minori's eyes brightened slightly, watching the shadow clone in the distance, "But for me, the space for operation is much larger."
"Lightning Ball!"
"Lightning Ball!"
The next moment, Minori and the shadow clone released magic at the same time.
Electric balls emitting blue light quickly condensed in front of the two, turning into a blue stream of light and blasting towards the opposite direction.
Boom!
The two magics bombarded together, making a thunderous roar. The situation of the two magics canceling each other out in the imagination did not appear.
The "Lightning Ball" released by Minori easily overwhelmed the "Lightning Ball" released by the shadow clone after a brief stalemate, and continued to blast towards the shadow clone's direction.
"Dodge!"
This situation stunned Minori, and he quickly issued an order.
The shadow clone quickly dodged to the side, fortunately inheriting the complete "Agility" stat, but it was still a bit embarrassed.
"It can release magic, why is there such a big difference?"
Minori ignored the shadow clone's embarrassed posture, and was a little surprised and puzzled, but he soon realized the problem:
"I almost forgot, it's the difference in the 'Magic Attack' stat. Although it looks like the same magic, the high-level magic released by the shadow clone should only maintain the lowest intensity of the magic itself."
The corners of Minori's mouth twitched, he took a deep breath, and cheered up again: "Fortunately, it's not just mastering the attack system's magic."
"Hopefully, I won't be disappointed next!"
The shadow clone's body once again emitted magic fluctuations, and in the next instant, a sacred white light condensed in mid-air.
Fourth-tier Angel Summoning · Surveillance Angel!
A tall angel about three meters high, with a round golden badge in his left hand and a silver short hammer in his right hand, appeared.
With Minori's current strength level, he can summon sixth-tier angels, but it's just an experiment, so there's no need to summon too strong angels.
Minori flicked his white cuff, without using a scroll, but instead used his magic power to summon an angel along with him.
The same Surveillance Angel appeared in the field!
Rumble!
The two Surveillance Authority Angels rushed forward at the same time, colliding in mid-air, waving silver short hammers and holding golden round shields in their hands, constantly waving and attacking.
Each collision produced an amazing roar, but neither could take down the other.
The strength of the two angels is obviously exactly the same.
"Since pure attack-type magic is affected by the 'Magic Attack' stat, then summoning-type magic doesn't have this limitation."
"The strength of summoned monsters is fixed, unless there are related specialized classes." Minori smiled.
If "Heroic Spirit Soul" is a pure combat-type clone, then "Shadow Clone Technique" can be used as a summoning-type magic chanter.
In addition.
The shadow clone can use auxiliary magic without being affected.
When the time was up!
The shadow clone turned into a black shadow and dissipated. Immediately afterwards, the summoned Surveillance Angel also disappeared along with it.
This made Minori, who was still somewhat satisfied, freeze: "Sure enough, there are no bugs."
"The time is still too short to support a complete battle. If the shadow clone's time can be extended, it can be completely calculated as an independent combat force."
Minori pondered, thinking with some regret.
As the distant sky began to brighten, the experiment on "Shadow Clone" came to a complete end.
Although there are many shortcomings, there is also a lot of room for operation.
In the following time.
In the eyes of ordinary people, Minori stayed in the hotel again and did not appear again.
Except for a visit from the "Rock" team, the entire hotel did not receive or meet any foreign guests.
As nominal members of the "Free Will" team, Verdant Witch and Enri were more closely involved in external activities, buying alchemy materials and selling "Regeneration Potions".
The low price and excellent therapeutic effect easily attracted the rush of civilians and many adventurers in the royal capital.
The advanced "Regeneration Potion" worth ten gold coins is even described as being in short supply, not to mention that the number sold each day is extremely small.
According to rumors, the Adventurers Guild has a certain number of advanced "Regeneration Potions".
Year 0 of the New Calendar.
December 31st.
Prayer Day.
The entire royal capital was shrouded in a joyful and sacred atmosphere. The stone slab ground of the main street had already been cleaned in the past few days.
Many floats filled with flowers were arranged on the streets on both sides, adding a floral fragrance to the entire air.
Major shops, streets, and even the doors of the people were decorated with cloths in six colors.
Some doors hung a single color, while others hung several colors, and each cloth had a "Holy Seal" pattern on it.
These six colors naturally symbolize the "Six Great Gods".
Minori stood in front of the window on the second floor of the hotel, looking at the lively scene on the street outside, slightly lost in thought.
Dong! Dong!
Located in the center of the royal capital, the Temple, which has always been inconspicuous, is now ringing the bell that is transmitted by magic.
"Before I knew it, I've been in this world for more than half a year." Minori came back to his senses and said softly.
