I appeared in an open field with lush green grass and a massive bright sun above me. It was noon so it was the hottest time of day. You could even see the heat in the air from how hot it was. But, it wasn't that hot for me and the occasional breeze felt nice.

Looking around, I saw somebody standing in the distance. It was me and she was grinning sadistically with eyes that looked down on me. It was like she found a new toy to play around with.

Let's use [Inspect] first.

…

tsk

Was within expectations but I can't underestimate myself. Sounds like I'm tugging my dick, but I don't know how she will fight. She is me but she might be something I have buried deep inside which includes a more feral type of fighting.

I don't have my scythe with me and I'm already wearing [Fire of Deaths Armour: Araes Dress].

Pulling out Raiu, I then take a relaxed stance and stare at my opponent… which was myself. She also pulled out Raiu and Araes Dress had already wrapped around her. As she walked forward, I could feel an unknown pressure weigh on my shoulders and decided to retaliate with the same skill.

[Queen Overlords Dominating Presence]

Both presence skills took a form and it looked like a devil was clashing with another devil. My face was expressionless mainly due to the words of what I just heard from my inner demons.

My opponent, on the other hand, didn't even try to hide her excitement and arrogance. Even her soul equipment reacted with her, causing Raiu to burst with black flames and Araes dress was burning the grass behind her.

"[Tangible Bloodthirsty Aura]," we both muttered at the same time.

BAM

From a walking position we did a flash step towards each other, our long black katanas clashing with each other. Black flame burst out as we both activated [Forbidden Magic: Medusa]. We intertwined medusa with the long black katana and took a step back.

We continued to clash with our katanas until we started to even create sonic booms with just the clash of our blades. The beautiful grassy scenery turned into a wasteland full of endlessly burning black flames.

Suddenly lava burst out from under me as I barely dodged and was forced to take a massive cut from my doppelganger. I held the large wound that was instantly cauterized by some black flames. The black flames didn't disappear but they weren't spreading so I could ignore them for now.

"How the fuck is she using [Lavas Will] while going all out. That amount of willpower is something I don't have… Wait, I'm a fucking idiot. She's me and I'm her… why can't I do that?" I say.

[Lavas Will]

I could feel a vein pop out on my forehead as I forced it out of the ground and continued to clash with my doppelganger. It was hard… so hard in fact that I gave up instantly but tried again after my doppelganger tried the same tactic again.

Dodging her blades swing by an inch, I then lift my hand and lava comes bursting out of the ground. A sense of relief fills me until I felt a tug on my control over the lava… she was trying to take my lava.

We tugged and tugged until she finally got it and forced it back underground with a condescending smile of victory.

tsk

Trying everything she does isn't going to help me win, I have to do something she hasn't thought of yet.

"[Summon: Phoenix],"

Even though I activated my skill, nothing happened.

Seems summons don't work. Then how about using something I haven't used before,

"[Night and Day Enhancement]... [Twilight Magic],"

The sun's bright rays wrapped around me and particles that look to be part of dawn appeared in my hand. I manipulated them into a spear and threw it at my doppelganger.

She was surprised but quickly dodged the spear by mere millimeters.

"[Domain of the Dark Garden]," We both mutter.

A dark circle expanded from under us and the sun was blocked out, quickly turning into night. A fake moon appeared in the sky and the sun that wrapped disappeared and was replaced with moonlight.

Instead of the normal 1 moon, there were 2 moons in the sky and for some reason, they had a face with a massive creepy grin.

We then continued our clashing of Raiu but also activated [Forbidden Magic: Zeus's Nimbus] and [Vampiric Blood Mist]. Both of us raised our hands creating a massive nimbus in the sky that started to strike lightning around us.

Blood red mist was leaking from the side of our mouth and it coated the battlefield. We even went one step farther and activated [Weather Manipulation: Wind, Rain, and Sun], causing it to pour bullet-like rain. The wind was violent and in the distance were massive tornadoes sweeping up pieces of the ground below them. Finally, a fake sun was created in the sky that was between both moons.

I felt the sunshine wrap around me but not ever merging with the moonlight.

BAM BAM BAM

We continued to clash and I used [Twilight Magic] to create spikes that penetrated my doppelganger's foot. In her panic and quick moment of hindered movement, I sliced at her with Raiu, creating a large laceration across her chest.

"Damn, might as well be using [Shadow Magic]. I can't think of a single special thing [Twilight Magic] can do…" I mutter.

Black flames cauterized the wound but I lunged forward, trying to get another cut in. She narrowly dodges it by leaning back but my expressionless face turns into a massive grin as I swing down.

"Fell for my bait… idiot," I say.

SHING

My swing cut only halfway into her body until her hand grabbed my blade. She gripped it so tightly that blood drew from her hand so I was forced to deactivate Raiu and jump back.

AHHHHHH

My doppelganger let out an ungodly scream that almost shattered my ears due to my enhanced senses.

Her skin became scale-like while keeping the same pale color. Massive deer antlers erupted from her head and her eyes turned black with a yellow X and gray diamond. Finally, a long tail with 2 opposing fires waved behind her

"I honestly forgot about this," I say before checking my status.
