Illusionary Double Tap

'Fuck! No wonder illusionary arts is a discipline unto itself. This is draining as hell!'

High above a battlefield in the form of a giant shallow hot spring, Zhen Jin had been using aether to trick the Steel-Plated Macaque Kong and the Raging Storm Yeti into fighting illusions of each other and various other creatures and warriors, in order to have them drain themselves of their aether reserves.

Every missed attack, every meaningless retaliation caused the two beasts to exhaust their aether further and further.

Now, such a straightforward trick would normally get caught on and the tricked would eventually stop due to how pointless their actions proved to be.
