The cause of the exploding was Rafael he detonated the energy he was saving up since earlier.
With the detonation of his energy the explosion harm the clone now only one hit it would be eliminated.
The clone landed on its feet gracefully as it once again charged towards Rafael as it ran towards him a sword was sent flying at it.
Dodging it easily the clone knew for a fact that it wasn't a real sword but an image formed by a sword qi.
There were more coming to its way as the sword started raining down on it the pace of the clone slows down as it was now running to the side as it's speed was incredibly fast numerous afterimages were created behind it.
As it run in circle Rafael couldn't catch it's movement and his sword qi was now thrown everywhere.
The circle got smaller as the clone got closer to Rafael.
Rafael was now breathing haggardly but his eyes were still blazing he did not want to lose he couldn't afford to.
