"Saber Skill: Shadow Clone!"
Agares created a clone of himself by separating the dark energy from his body. The clone, identical to the previous one, appeared kneeling, then stood tall, facing the giant red dragon monster.
The clone turned and saw his original body wounded and looking messed up, not like usual. He guessed that the monster Agares was fighting was something completely new.
"You know I can't fight to help you—not right now."
"I know," Agares replied.
He turned briefly to look behind him. Aoi was still lying there, weak and bleeding in several parts of her body.
Agares didn't want Aoi to be involved in this battle, but he also couldn't protect her while he was fighting.
Summoning the clone was a temporary move to get Aoi to safety, even though Agares knew the clone couldn't fight or protect her.
But it was still better for Aoi—since the teleportation token couldn't be used once the boss room was active.
