sabella wakes up in the safe area, confused. She checks her body, but her wounds have healed, even those in her soul, spirit, and mind. Shaking herself off, she simply ignores everything and enters the next room. After all, everything must go on.
When she enters, she finds a lonely dimension, but it immediately begins to change at incredible speed. It goes from being a completely white canvas to an incredibly beautiful palace, completely white, made of high-quality energetic marble… this is the Skylion Palace, she can tell from all the time she has lived in it.
At the back of the room, sitting on her mother's throne, there is a person sitting who makes her eyes open wide, a woman who is 1.7 meters tall (5.53 feet), with golden blonde hair, a beautiful face that seems carved by the very creator of the universe, with small attributes and skin white as snow. Her delicate figure and her way of sitting, between graceful and flirtatious, she has sapphire-colored eyes, a smile white as pearls, and red lips, fleshy and seductive.
There is no doubt: it is herself. This woman, upon seeing her, stands up from her seat with a sword in hand and walks toward her. The instructions soon appear above: eliminate your opponent.
The copy of Isabella fills her body with power. Using the Sky Lion's Dash, she quickly moves forward, slashing toward Isabella, but Isabella has combat experience, so she quickly blocks with her sword. The impact makes her step back a bit, but she does not waste time.
She counterattacks with an attack: "Sky Lion's Slash." A powerful wind wraps around her blade, launching a short-distance slash. The copy quickly smiles and jumps up and says, "Sky Lion's Wind Piercer." From the tip of the copy's sword, an attack of equal power rapidly approaches Isabella.
She quickly dodges it using the Sky Lion's Steps. From here, she launches an attack: "I am the one who rules through the skies, with these wings I fly, with these wings I fight, unleashing a storm to eliminate my enemies, SKY LION'S GALE!"
The woman who is in the air says, "For a failure, you have good reflexes, but that's all."
Then she begins to recite, "With my power bestowed upon the skies, wind, heed my command and become my wings to travel to the ends of the world, SKY LION'S WINGS."
With this, the copy of Isabella moves in the air and dodges the attack. From above, another shout is heard: "Let the wind cover my body, let the wind show my fury, wind, make my enemy regret having dared to challenge me, SKY LION'S CHARGE."
The copy descends at great speed. Isabella reacts and using both the Sky Lion's Steps and the Sky Lion's Dash at the same time, she barely manages to evade the attack. The copy quickly manages to stop, landing on the ground.
Isabella speaks and says, "For a copy, I see you know how to use my techniques well, but it's a shame, because that won't change the outcome."
Isabella immediately closes the distance and covers her sword with wind, launching a Sky Lion's Slash. Then, at point-blank range, she launches another attack: "Let my fangs be unleashed, unleashing a wave of fear and terror upon my enemies, let these fangs of mine devour them, SKY LION'S FANGS."
Quickly and in succession, four slashes, two from below and two from above, forming something like four fangs made of wind, head toward the copy along with the slash.
But Isabella does not realize that the copy is smiling darkly. Isabella has fallen into her trap. Nimbly and silently, she uses Sky Lion's Wind Armor, then Sky Lion's Wind Cloak, then uses Sky Lion's Dash, and finally adds Sky Lion's Charge.
With all of this, she pierces through the attacks like a cannonball, hitting Isabella and sending her flying into the air, almost forcing her to drop her sword.
Then the copy unleashes a series of Sky Lion's Slashes without stopping. Then she moves to another place and fires from the tip of her sword a Sky Lion's Wind Piercer.
Isabella, although a bit worried, does not hesitate to use the wings and wind cloak, quickly changing direction, but inevitably, some attacks graze her, leaving small bloody wounds.
When she lands, she becomes more cautious. She runs while launching slashes one after another, dodging the attacks from her copy or blocking them with her own. She has to avoid getting hit again.
It is then when she hears her clone's voice again: "So this is all the 'original' Isabella has. How disappointing, but not unexpected. You've always been like this, haven't you? A walking disappointment, failing at everything you set out to do."
Isabella tries to ignore this, although her heart stirs a little. At a certain point, Isabella unleashes another big attack: "Follow my command and become my claws to tear apart those foolish enough to oppose me. Sky Lion's Claws!"
Isabella launches ten slashes in a row, four to the upper right and one to the lower right, four to the upper left and one to the lower left. The slashes join together, forming the claws of a lion.
The copy laughs out loud: "HAHAHAHA, you don't get it, Isabella. Oh, little and clumsy Isabella, this won't do anything to me, just like you've never been able to do anything."
The attack is about to hit the copy, who dodges at the last second, a cyan flash still on her body from using Sky Lion's Steps. She continues: "What a depressing sight. That's why your former fiancé left you. A girl who couldn't get past Elemental Grade 5, with the body of a child. You're not even able to defeat a copy like me."
Isabella replies in a cold voice: "That damn bastard? On the contrary, I'm glad he left me."
After this, the copy uses several movement techniques in succession and approaches Isabella, launching a physical attack. Isabella blocks her blows, but it is clearly noticeable that the copy is using a lot of strength. It was probably because she wanted to save internal energy, or so Isabella thought.
Then the copy says to her: "Is that so? We both know, Isabella, we know. We know how you cried for him, how he used you and threw you away, how that hurt you and still hurts, right? Because in the end, deep in your heart, you still wish he loved you, a pathetic failure of a woman."
Isabella then strikes hard with her sword, slightly lifting the copy's sword and says to her: "No! That's not true. The one I love is my darling. As for that bastard Garret, I'll kill him the moment I see him. How could I ever want the approval of that bastard."
Thus it continued for several minutes, the clash of swords sounding over and over again. Isabella was putting a lot of effort into attacking and defending, without losing focus for even a moment, while she thought about how to end this long battle.
The copy then said to her: "Don't try to pretend, you know I'm not lying. You may hate him, but the little girl inside you still has feelings for him. I know because I am you, Isabella."
Isabella reacts with a low attack using her sword, but the copy had already predicted this could happen, so she quickly launched a slash to the left, taking advantage of the opening.
Although Isabella tried to dodge, she barely managed to do so, the attack grazing her side and leaving a scratch on her flank. This situation was bothering her. This copy had already managed to hurt her for the second time, while she had not landed a single blow, and to top it off, her venomous words were irritating her.
The copy of Isabella did not let her rest and kept harassing her. While doing so, she spoke to her again: "So it's useless to try and deny it, to hide that feeling from me. You always dreamed of being with him, marrying him, being happy. Even when you did it the first time, despite knowing it was wrong, you enjoyed it like never before in your life. I saw how you cried, how you locked yourself away, how you broke inside because of him. Even if I weren't you, it would be obvious that someone like that wouldn't be forgotten so easily in one lifetime, let alone in five years."
Isabella truly got angry. This time, even though she knew she shouldn't, she couldn't help it. She attacked the copy with such strength that she sent her flying backward and shouted: "What do you know? You didn't feel it! You weren't the one who was used! You'll never know what it feels like to be used and discarded like garbage by some damn lustful scum!"
Then she launched a full-power attack: "Those who defy this queen, I want you to divide them, I want you to sweep them away, I want you to destroy them. Oh wind, my loyal servant, unleash your fury against those idiots who stand against me, Storm of the Sky Lion!"
A storm of cyan energy began to gather around Isabella. Then, a great current of wind headed toward the copy of Isabella at high speed.
The copy laughed out loud again: "HAHAHAHA, you're right, Isabella, you're right. I will never live through something like that…"
Then the copy added: "Because I am better than you. I will be the one to awaken the bloodline, the one to restore the Skylion family to its former glory, the one to marry Feicui Long. That's why I have to kill you. Don't take it personally, but the better one between us has to be the one to come out of here."
The copy raised her sword, launching three attacks: "Sky Lion's Cross!" "Sky Lion's Wind Piercer!" "Sky Lion's Charge!"
Although it seemed impossible to defeat Isabella's attack, the copy did not focus on destroying it but on breaking through it. With the attacks she launched, she managed to create a hole big enough to enter. Then, with the remaining momentum, she struck Isabella's sword, sending it flying through the air and causing it to fall several meters away.
