SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Edgar stares at the ogre while standing on top of the broken pillar.

"Human, I don't like you staring at me while in a higher position! Go down!" Roshack shoutes as he swings his arm to the pillar.

A cursed claw is flying.

Edgar jumped forward.

He casts earth magic. He steps on earth in the air, then he jumped toward the street.

He landed on the street, blocking the road toward the direction where the hyperbeings walked away.

"Hahahaha, human! I am right that those magicians matter to you, but—" Roshack turned hideous as he grins and put more energy to his arms. 

"Dodging will not stop me from going after them, human!"

Boom! Roshack accelerated as he raises his arm.

He arrived in front of Edgar, then slashed his arm. A vertical slash of claw moves forward, but the target is not there.

Edgar rotated his body while moving forward. He arrived behind Roshack and jumped high. The timing is just right. More lightning is flashing on his right hand.

"You are right, I should attack!" Edgar shouted.

Boom! Edgar charges down from the air. His right palm, with flashing lightning, holds the head of Roshack, then he smashes it to the ground.

Bang! The head of Roshack smashed the ground, causing cracks to appear.

Roshack's left arm swung toward Edgar.

Edgar jumped up. He steps on earth, then he moves to the front. He rotates his body in mid-air to face the ogre.

Roshack's face looks very fierce. Smashing his face to the ground is so humiliating.

"DAMN YOU HUMAAAN!!! Ahhhh!" Roshack is going berserk. He rapidly swings his arms, and many burning slashes of claws are flying toward Edgar.

A fire pillar lifts Edgar into the air.

The slash of claws destroyed the fire pillar. Edgar jumped away.

A slash of claws attacked him in the air. He jumped up with a somersault.

Another curse claw is attacking. He charges down from the air as he rotates his body. He jumped up again and avoided another attack.

Roshack keeps attacking.

Edgar keeps dodging the attacks in the air.

"Shit! How can this human be slippery even in the air?! This human's level is low, but he can confront me and even injure me. I must kill this human or else he will be a big problem once he reaches a higher level! I must use the magicians. I don't believe that I can't find the opportunity to kill this human!" thought Roshack.

Roshack's expression became more murderous as he stares at Edgar. He stopped attacking, then dashed again in the direction of the hyperbeings.

Edgar moved down and landed on the street. He runs and follows the ogre.

"The hyperbeings should have hidden. By the time the ogre found them, the duplication should be nearly complete. Ogre, you are only alive as assurance in case the duplicate skill needs to see your skill again," Edgar thought as he sharply stares at the ogre.

Roshack reached the buildings near the edge of the dimensional lock, but he could not sense the hyperbeings.

"How can they not be here?! Did that human expected it?! Is the magic that he used before the fight warned them?! Shit! That human is really tricky!" Said Roshack, then he sneers.

He faces Edgar with a sneer on his face.

"Human! You think I can't find them?! The space in the dimensional lock is small! I will find them and cut them! I will do the same to your family, and you can't stop me!" Roshack shouted.

He dashes to another street and spreads his senses.

Susan is lying on the rooftop of a building when she saw the ogre coming in their direction. She watched the battle between Edgar and the ogre. She was very worried that Edgar was fighting the ogre without protecting his body with an aura, but the result shocked her. Edgar was actually winning. When the ogre transformed, she actually wanted to join their battle because she thought Edgar was running out of aura. She is astonished that Edgar has enough aura, and he only sparingly used it in the earlier fight. She is shocked by the courage, skill, and wisdom of Edgar.

Susan rolls her body on the rooftop, then her body falls. She grabs onto a protruding block like an air conditioner, then swings her body. She can't use magic or aura because that will make it easier for Roshack to sense where they are.

If aura masters or magicians do not use aura or magic, it will be difficult for beings to sense them from a distance. At a close distance, beings could sense their energy even if they do not use aura or magic unless they used magic skills, rune equipment, or other devices to hide their energy. Edgar did not teach them cloaking magic. The runes are complicated, and they cannot learn and cast them in a short period of time, even with the help of Gaia.

Flop! Susan landed on a square block, then she dives toward a staircase. She rotates her body in mid-air and landed on the platform of the stairs. She ran forward, then she dives down. She is falling very fast. She rotates her body in mid-air and grabs a stair. She let go of the stairs, then she falls toward the ground.

Flop! She landed on the ground, and around her are two other hyperbeings.

"We must move. The ogre is coming toward us! We cannot be captured. The time limit that red-haired said is coming. We must hold on a little longer! He should have a plan!" said Susan. The two other hyperbeings nodded, then they started running.

Roshack is running quickly. He is already near where Susan and the others were hiding. He still cannot sense the magicians. He is getting more irritated. Anger is accumulating within him. He hasn't recovered from the shame of Edgar's attack. He wants to vent his anger on the magicians, but he can't find them. He is gritting his sharp teeth hard, then he runs to a street.

After running for a while, he still could not find them. Edgar is closely following him. Roshack seems to feel the mockery of the human following behind him. He grips his fists hard. He can no longer endure his anger.

"Ahhhhhh!" screams Roshack. His face looks so fierce. He really wants to kill. He gathers more energy in his arms.

"COME OUT!! DAMN RATS!!"

Roshack rapidly swings his arms.

Huge, burning slashes of claws are rapidly moving toward the buildings around him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Buildings are getting destroyed.

A tall building at a particular distance is hit by a huge claw. The upper part of the building starts falling.

Boom! It hit smaller buildings beside it, and then those buildings started crushing.

Susan and the others are forced to use aura to escape the rubble of the destroyed buildings.

Roshack sensed the aura. It is faint because of the distance.

He grins, then rushes toward that area.

"Hahahaha, I should have done it earlier!" Roshack could see the hyperbeings running away. His face turned hideous.

"Rats! You will never get away from my grasp!" Shouted Roshack as he increased his speed.

Susan and the others moved away from the main road. They stopped using aura, then they entered another street.

Roshack saw it, and he sneered.

"Rats! You think you can still hide?!"

Roshack swings his arms and attacks the buildings.

The buildings are destroyed by slashes of claws. The hyperbeings are forced to use their aura again and quickly move away from the falling rubble.

Roshack jumped on a building that is getting destroyed. He jumped again on a falling upper part of a building. He is running on the falling building. He grins as he sees the hyperbeings not far below him. He activated his skill.

A black hole is forming on his right hand. He put more strength to his feet, then he charges down to the hyperbeings. His face looks hideous while grinning.

"Serve your purpose as my nutrient ra-" The joy of Roshack is cut short by Edgar.

Edgar attacks the left side of the ogre. His body is flashing with lightning as he swings his sword to the body of the ogre.

Bang! "Acck!" The ogre flew down rapidly.

Boom! The ogre hit the ground and created a crater.

Edgar charges down toward the ogre.

Threads of fire rotate on Edgar's sword as he moves down, then he stabs it at the ogre.

Bang! The sword stabbed the ground.

A ring of fire spread from the impact.

Roshack jumped away and dodged the attack. He has a six-inch wound where Edgar hit it his sword, but it stopped bleeding as he contracted the muscles around the wound.

Edgar pulled out his sword from the ground.

Roshack and Edgar stare at each other.

"You are actually a swordsman, yet you fought me unarmed?! Fuck you human! How dare you belittle me!" Roshack shouted with full of anger on his face.

Edgar stares sharply at Roshack.

"Ogre, you forced me to bring out my sword. You have to suffer the consequences!"
