Tianzhu:
“What? How did that happen?”

Dana:
“Don’t you know? It’s magic.”

Tianzhu:
“What kind of magic?”

Dana:
“This magic is made by mixing two types of magic.
First: Body Clone
Second: Decoy Body Magic
What he just used is called Clone Decoy Chant.”

Tianzhu:
“Oh-ho… but what does it do?
Body Clone makes a copy — I get that.
Decoy Body Magic replaces the body with a non-living object that takes the damage.”

Dana:
“With Clone Decoy Chant, a clone appears, and when the main body is about to take damage, it teleports to the clone’s position. The damage is taken by a non-living object like wood.”

“I see… so that must be a high-rank magic.”

“Hmm.” (nods)
