"Did you see that punch?" "See it, I felt it." "The turbulent wind current from the shock wave of her punch scratched my skin." "How can a little girl pack such a devastating punch?" "If it had landed on real Gloria she would be dead for sure." "Sssh, watch what you say unless you want to be next." "Woah, the country chick is not easy."
"You are recording this right." "Not only am I recording it I am live streaming it for our friends back home." "Unfortunately, I could not record the elasticity of the country chick's chest."
The crowd was in awe of the strength displayed by Jaya. They felt that in terms of sheer strength, Gloria was no match for Jaya. But not many dared to say it out loud fearing Gloria, Cervos, and their followers.
Gloria frowned upon seeing Jaya retreat and narrowly escape her attack in the nick of time. She doubted if Jaya saw through her illusion but soon she rejected that thought believing if Jaya had seen through her illusion she would have attacked her instead of retreating. She wondered if Jaya had cards related to or similar to Danger Sense.
To confirm her suspicions, Gloria attacked Jaya again while concealing her presence with her illusion skill card. This time, too, Jaya remained unresponsive until the very moment she neared, ready to attack. As Gloria made her move, Jaya instantly retreated to safety escaping the impact. Seeing this Gloria confirmed her speculations and also learned that Jaya's danger sense ability was advanced as it didn't just alert Jaya of incoming attack but also vaguely informed her of the direction of attack, otherwise Jaya would not be able to retreat to safety. Gloria contemplated the odds of encountering an enemy with advanced danger sense ability to counter her illusion skill card, especially in an unknown third-rate city. Shaking her head she blamed her bad luck and thought, 'Now this is going to be troublesome.' "A-rank Field Card: Kaleidoscope Array Formation," Gloria chanted, summoning array formation with Jaya in the center. Soon multiple mirror clones of Gloria began to appear in mandalic patterns. With every second this mandalic pattern would change into a new pattern, changing the location of Gloria's mirror clones. Though these mirror clones had zero attack power this array formation didn't just allow Gloria to create multiple mirror clones of herself but also allowed her to move between these mirror clones instantly. This way Gloria can have the numerous mirror clones attack Jaya simultaneously and she would keep switching places with the mirror clones so that Jaya's advanced danger sense would go haywire trying to guess which direction the attack was coming from. When Jaya's danger sense was muddled she would land the finishing blow. This was the combo move Gloria had thought of to deal with a card apprentice with advanced danger sense ability. As expected of a second-generation rich card apprentice she did not spare any expenses to fill the hole in her card deck. Having set her combo move Gloria deployed her attack, the numerous mirror clones dashed at Jaya meanwhile Gloria kept transferring between the numerous mirror clones. As for Jaya, she stood tall with all her senses focused on her cape. As such she did not flinch as many of Gloria's mirror clones lunged at her. On contact these mirror images shattered into millions of tiny pieces and dispersed. Seeing this Gloria reconfirmed her speculations and without any further deal, she launched her attack. Transferring her place with a mirror clone that was about to lunge at Jaya, Gloria noticed Jaya retreating backward. With a grin, Gloria then instantly transferred her place with a mirror clone that was about to come in contact with Jaya. 'Splurt,' and successfully managed to land an attack on Jaya. Finding an opportunity in Jaya's confusion, Gloria instantly transferred between multiple mirror clones and stabbed Jaya in various vital spots. But to her shock, despite taking life-threatening damage to her vital organs' Jaya continued to stand tall and launched a strong punch that blew all her mirror clones away with a strong wind current gaining a gasp from the onlookers. With no more mirror clones to hide among Gloria had no choice but to retreat till the array formation replaced the mirror clones. Jaya's condition had gotten worse, the blood level in her body was low. Because of the bleeding effect Jaya's blood had completely dyed her bodysuit red. Now nobody could tell that her bodysuit used to be silver in color. The lack of blood in her body was dulling her senses which could be considered a promising situation for her condition. Jaya's current blood level and damage to her body would have rendered any ordinary card apprentice unconscious. Fortunately, she was a Viltronian. This much was not life-threatening to her. After all, Vitronian's evolution had made them cockroaches of humanoid species. She would be fine even with a couple of holes in her brain as long as they missed the critical sections of the brain. Though being viltronian gave one a sturdy body, without a tenacious will it was nothing. Jaya could barely manage to continue her fly properly and wobbled like a drunk fly despite her injuries mostly because of her strong willpower. Jaya recalled how her cape warned her that the attack was coming from the front but then suddenly it changed its prediction hinting to her that the attack was coming from her side. Mid retreat Jaya was taken aback and before she could change the direction of her retreat Gloria landed multiple decisive blows catching her off guard. Meanwhile, Jaya's cape fluttered vigorously along with Gloria's instant transfer skill. Gloria's instant movement was too fast, though Jaya's cape predicted the attacks she could not keep up. Forced into a corner Jaya burst forth a punch filled with her superhuman might destroying all the mirror clones and buying herself room for a quick breather to salvage the situation. 'You dumb cow. You are not smart so stop trying to apply your brain and start using your devastating muscles,' A rude voice echoed in Jaya's mind, she was familiar with this arrogant and condescending tone, it belonged to Corey Bright. Jaya did not have the luxury to take offense to Corey's words nor the time to retort to it. Instead, she did what she was told. Once the kaleidoscope array formation replenished her mirror clones, Gloria repeated her combo move following her previously proven tactics. However, this time when she landed her first stab on Jaya's left upper arm, her Shadow fang remained stuck in between Jaya's muscles. No matter how much force she applied to her pull Gloria could not retrieve her jammed shadow fang knife. Being held up Gloria could not transfer to a mirror clone. If she wanted to do so then, she would have to leave behind her shadow fang. However, that was the only weapon in her arsenal capable of breaking the country hick's dense defense. Caught in a dilemma Gloria could not make a quick decision allowing Jaya's right hand to grab her left wrist. Catching Gloria, Jaya's face donned a fiendish grin uttering, "Got you bitch!"
