6 Reflection Power

"Bastard! Who do you think you're talking to?" Tian Ling looked at Miles balefully. He wouldn't let anyone disrespect Porseila in front of him as he always fancied her. He couldn't help but curse back.

"It looks like we have to deal with this pest ourselves. Since you dare to insult the Princess, I will have you taste my powers." Mihr Orril looked at Miles evilly, ready to pounce on him.

Tian Ling and Mihr Orril looked at each other and were about to attack, but someone had cut them off.

"Who asked you to meddle in my business?" It was the arrogant lady, Porseila Lemaze. "I can deal with him by myself." she added. This beautiful princess, right here, was a proud swan and a powerful fighter.

She then raised her hand gracefully. Lights bent around her arm, and the only thing people could see was her perfect figure. Everyone around watched her in stupefied.

"She had awakened Reflection powers. I bet you remember those painful days." Coin's voice awakened Miles from his stupor.

Miles wasn't stumped by this but impressed. The pressure he was feeling from her was stronger than the two bodyguards he fought in the forest. It just proved she was really at Middle-tier.

She had a superpower breakthrough to Grace-Rank middle-tier at an early age than her peers. She is indeed a princess of the prestigious Lemaze family,' Miles thought.

"Coin, do you have any footage of her fights?" Miles asked Coin as he looked at the lights bending.

"I do." Coin answered and waited for further instructions.

"Analyze sound and wind currents in the footages," Miles said as he looked at his opponent vanish into thin air. 'I have to crack her powers.' He thought in his heart.

Porseila's Reflection powers can reflect many things, including light and sounds. But energy cannot disappear or appear from nothing. So, she cannot null the light, but can only reflect it.

To see color, one has to have light. When light shines on an object some colors bounce off, and others are absorbed by it. The eyes can only see the colors that are bounced off or reflected. As for Porseila, she can reflect color and absorb at will. Thus, making herself invisible. But it is just a façade. With her powers, she can reflect any color, thus can blend into the background.

Sound was also a type of energy and could be reflected. But unlike light, there were many things to take into consideration, such as the population of the room, structure size, and echo.

While Miles was calculating and thinking how to see through his opponent's tricks, Princess Porseila had already started. He immediately dispelled his thoughts in the midst of calculation and ordered his companion, "Coin, overdrive her wristwatch!"

"Give me 5 minutes!" Coin replied assuredly, putting off the previous command given by Miles.

The human brain cannot calculate minute differences when fighting, but AIs can.

Judging from her movements, she must be depending on her AI to fight like how I always depend on Coin. 5 minutes isn't long nor short for Coin to overdrive her wristwatch. I can find her weak spots by then.'

"Watch out, she is in front of you!" Coin warned, but it was too late.

Before Miles could react, a strong fist sent him flying back. He backflipped in mid-air and landed on his feet. Thanks to his strong body, he wasn't hurt deeply.

As he found his footing and looked around, his enemy was nowhere to be seen. She had blended herself into the crowd.

'I have to find her quickly.'

"Coin, hurry up!"

Miles looked left and right and listened to every footstep to find her.

He knew Porseila had a vast fighting experience and was well aware of her shortcomings. Because she couldn't calculate the trajectory of sound waves, she could reflect it to confuse her opponents.

Miles felt trapped in a racetrack. Footsteps were coming from every direction, and he couldn't distinguish the real one. He then lifted his arms up to his face and took the high guard stance, protecting his chest as well. Despite it, he was taking hits in the unprotected areas.

'I have to find the real footstep, or I will lose.'

Miles was desperately defending and analyzing. It wasn't an easy task considering his tired body.

"Ah!" He swallowed his pain and stood on his feet. He closed his eyes and listened. He depended on his companion too long, but at that moment, Coin was busy with overdriving his opponent's AI. Miles had to trust in himself, and use his dormant instincts.

He had fighting experience superior to his peers. Since he was just a kid, he fought with his family members many times. When they were tired, he fought with servants, and when they were tired, he fought in the virtual arena. He fought, again and again, to stand up against people with superpowers. He was stronger than this.

Miles had then closed his eyes and listened intently. Footsteps disappeared one after another. He eliminated the fake ones one by one. After a few short seconds, there was only one left.

"Found you!"

"Overdrive Complete!"

He managed to find his opponent at the same time Coin had finished the overdrive. A smile found its way on his beaten face.

He swung his fist to his right, punching a discolored face. Disabling Porseila's AI was showing its effect, and her camouflage wasn't as perfect as before.

"Eeek!" She fell back with a cry on her buttocks and looked at Miles aggrieved.

"How can you hit my face! I will have my father hang you!" She cried pitifully.

"You can do whatever you want, missy. Since I can beat you, Middle-tier Princess, I am more than capable of beating two of Tian Ling's men. It also proves that I am not desperate enough to attack people injured by monsters, nor I would run away from a pest that can only blame people."

Miles didn't show consideration to the Princess nor her two admirer dogs.

He then turned to Tian Ling and Orril, "If you want to fight, let's fight. But don't blame me if I hurt you badly. I am tired, and I may not be able to control my strength."

"You!" Tian Ling could only point at him.

"You are a courageous one, aren't you?" Mihr Orril was calmer.

"What is happening here?" While they were quarreling, two guards approached the crowd. They were the guards chosen to protect the stronghold, thus were stronger than any residents here. Most of them were already High-tier soldiers, and their post commander was a Pinnacle-tier army captain. When the post commander level up to Form-Rank, he or she would go to the F-circle.

The barriers separating the circles weren't affecting humans as they did monsters, thus humans could still linger at lower tier circles for short durations, yet it was highly frowned upon.

"You came just in time." Mihr Orril said arrogantly, as he ordered the guards. "Apprehend that fool and confiscate his wristwatch. He had also killed some people in Rat Kingdom Forest, so check his AI log."

The guards looked at the Mihr Orril and saluted immediately, "Yes, sir!" They realized he was the grandson of the President of Unity.

Miles was fuming with anger. He unsheathed his dagger and was ready to fight to the death, even with his tiredness. He would rather die than hand over Coin.

Escape was also not an option. The crowd had grown large, and many of them were strong fighters.

He then recalled his battle with the elemental users. He left those two to die because they were the ones who wanted to rob him. No one would listen to his plea if he were to tell this. But more than that, without a court order, it was prohibited to look into another person's log history.

"Citizen, unsheathe your weapon, and surrender!"

"Listen to our orders, or we will use force!"

He held the weapon as he faced the two guards. "You cannot check my logs without a court order. If you try to violate my rights, I have the right to fight back to kill!"

Tiredness and anger boiled a strong fighting intent as he equipped himself.
