While Marcelos fights the river soldiers that can’t stay dead no matter how many times he cuts them into pieces with his swords they just keep growing back, Redrick could be seen fighting the fake Redrick with the swords in his hands as the fake Redrick fights him with the ice sword.
Redrick could definitely not believe the way he saw himself fighting the fake Redrick, it was like he was seeing a whole new him that was supposed to be impossible and not exist. However, Redrick knew the incredible fighting skills he seemed to have acquired had got to be from Esther.
Redrick thought the magical energy that came from Esther and went into him must have been what took his fighting skills to a whole new level and made sure that he was not affected by any foreign magic because Redrick was shocked by the crazy things he was seeing himself doing.
Redrick doesn’t even know how he was making those offensive and defensive fighting skills moves but he thought Esther must have made him so good and powerful so he can be able to handle the fake Redrick. Redrick is glad that Esther made him strong because he gets the chance to kill the fake Redrick himself or hold him off till Esther is revived.
The fake Redrick was shocked at first when he saw the real Redrick because he thought the real Redrick had died but there he was in his world, and that can only mean he didn’t acquire everything from Esther's memories which he had thought he had.
The fake Redrick knew Esther would have been the one that brought the real Redrick into his world, and that made the fake Redrick perplexed as he started to wonder how Esther was able to bring the dead Redrick into his world. That was the least of the fake Redrick memories when he started to fight the real Redrick.
According to memories of Esther and the others, the fake Redrick finds out that the real Redrick wasn’t much of a great fighter but now that he is fighting the real Redrick, he realizes that to be untrue. The fake Redrick was finding it hard to keep up with the real Redrick because the real Redrick's fighting skills were something he couldn’t comprehend which made him shocked.
The fake Redrick wondered how the real Redrick had suddenly elevated his fighting skills, and there was also something else. The fake Redrick realizes that his magic does not affect the real Redrick. All the magical force he hit the real Redrick, just seems to not affect him.
The fake Redrick was able to think through that it had to be Esther who made the real Redrick powerful so the real Redrick could stop him which is the reason why he needed to kill Esther at all costs before her magic revived her.
Using his magic on the real Redrick was pointless since his magic did not affect him so the fake Redrick had to do better with his fighting skills so he could kill the real Redrick and get to Esther.
The fake Redrick can only be offensive for a little time while fighting the real Redrick because he has to be defensive against the real Redrick who was proving so fast with his new incredible fighting skills. The fake Redrick had to protect himself with his skills defensively so he didn’t get killed by the real Redrick.
It gets to a point and the fake Redrick realizes that he can’t defeat the real Redrick to get to Esther and he is running out of time. The fake Redrick had to get to Esther before she was revived or all he had gotten would be lost and Esther would kill him.
The real Redrick was in his way so he had to do something about him then the fake Redrick telepathically told his soldiers to leave Marcelos and attack the real Redrick.
The river soldiers did listen to their master but Marcelos was able to understand what the fake Redrick wanted to do when Marcelos saw Esther in an unknown situation and Redrick who was fighting the fake Redrick. Marcelos made sure that the river soldiers were never able to get to Redrick and he stopped them all by attacking them all at the same time speedily.
The river soldiers tried everything they could to get to Redrick but Marcelos stood in their way. The fake Redrick got angry when he saw that Marcelos was preventing his soldiers from getting to the real Redrick so he had to come up with another plan.
The fight between the fake Redrick and Redrick gets so tense that the fake Redrick finds himself unable to continue to protect himself from getting killed by Redrick, and this time Redrick finds a chance to get his sword into the heart of the fake Redrick.
However, Redrick had to withdraw his sword and step a few paces away from the fake Redrick because Redrick saw Noah, Ramsay, Tracy, Camelia, Mike, Kylie, Kinsley, Hawk, Lilia, Benjamin, and Ryn all on their knees behind the fake Redrick who was looking at him with the thought that he was going to die when he saw the sword coming toward his heart.
Redrick didn’t just see all of his new family on their knees but they were all unconscious and behind them was a river soldier each, placing an ice sword closer to their necks. Seeing all that, Redrick knew what the fake Redrick had planned but was he going to do what the fake Redrick wanted and allow the fake Redrick to win?
The fake Redrick smiled at Redrick and said to him “do you think I was gonna allow you to win or something? This is my world. The only person winning here is me”.
Then the fake Redrick wanted to walk forward toward Esther but Redrick in the way pointed the sword in his right hand at the fake Redrick. Seeing that, the fake Redrick stopped and said to Redrick “you wouldn’t be stupid enough and try to stop me again because if you try to, you will be having them killed. Which means it will be you that killed them”.
Redrick said nothing to the fake Redrick but he glared at fake Redrick wishing he could pound on him in that moment and cut his head off. The fake Redrick moved closer to the sword pointed at him then he said to Redrick “drop the swords and move out of the way, Redrick”.
Redrick heard the fake Redrick but he was contemplating at the moment on what to do. Redrick had to decide between letting the fake Redrick get to Esther so he won't kill the others or he doesn’t let the fake Redrick get to Esther and the others get killed.
Seeing Redrick wasn't doing what he asked and was just glaring at him with the sword pointed at him, the fake Redrick said to Redrick “I am not that much of a patient guy, Redrick. You need to make a decision fast, we ain’t got all day”.
“I thought you preferred a fair fight. Why don’t you let me and you settle this? Whoever wins get Esther” said Redrick calmly to the fake Redrick.
“There are some situations that one doesn’t need violence but sense, and here is one. I know Esther made you whatever you are now which has kind of made you dangerous. So I don’t think I can stand up to you at the moment which is why I am using my head, not my hands anymore. Out of the way Redrick, that is the only way you can save them” said the fake Redrick to Redrick.
Redrick still fails to decide because he can’t choose between the others and Esther, then the fake Redrick impatiently says to him “I trust you will make the right decision, Redrick but it is taking long. I think now is about time you talk”.
Redrick looked at the others and saw that the river soldiers behind them raised their ice swords to strike down the others then he glared back at the fake Redrick, still unable to make a decision.
Marcelos was still fighting the river soldiers when he saw that the fake Redrick was trying to use the others to blackmail Redrick to get to Esther so he had to do something to help. Marcelos would love to use his magic to help at that moment but he doesn’t have strong magic since all his magical powers lie in the dark crystal.
Marcelos thought of attacking the river soldiers behind the others but to do that he had to get to them. Marcelos tried to fight through the river soldiers he was fighting to get to the others but it was like the river soldiers that he was fighting knew his plan and they did everything to stop him from getting to the river soldiers behind the others.
Even though Redrick saw that the river soldiers’ swords were raised down about to strike the others, Redrick refused to make a decision just then he heard a voice say inside his head “let him come to me”.
Hearing the voice and what it said to him, Redrick immediately said to the fake Redrick “stop”. The river soldiers' ice swords were closer to the others’ necks to take their heads off when Redrick said the word stop and the river soldiers stopped because the fake Redrick telepathically told them to.
Then the fake Redrick said to Redrick “it seems you have finally made the right choice. Very good of you”.
Redrick raises his sword down then the fake Redrick walks past him with a smile and a tap on his shoulder to show he appreciates his efforts to keep Esther safe but he made the right decision.
Redrick watched as the fake Redrick walked to Esther and when the fake Redrick got to Esther, he smiled at Esther then the fake Redrick threw his sword in his hand toward Esther targeting her heart again.
Redrick wanted to get worried seeing what the fake Redrick did with his ice sword going toward Esther but he thought to himself that the voice in his head wouldn’t have wanted Esther dead so that ice sword that was moving toward Esther to kill her was going to get to Esther and kill her.
The fake Redrick was happy when he saw his sword going to do the work he had sent it to do but suddenly, shockingly, and unexpectedly, the fake Redrick found himself levitating in the same spot Esther was and his ice sword was coming toward him speedily.
The fake Redrick tried to stop his ice sword from thrusting into his heart but it was too late even though he wondered how he was suddenly levitating at the spot he saw Esther levitating as her magical power was passing to her. The ice sword pierced through the fake Redrick's heart and stayed there.
