SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Poncho's face changed when he saw it. He stepped back subconsciously. The situation is getting out of his control. It's been a long time since he felt this sense of terror. His guards reacted. They moved in front of Poncho and pulled out their guns. They aim their guns at Edgar.

Edgar looks at the fat man.

"Based on your acting, it should not be your first time toying with people's lives, including hyperbeings that had done a good deed. You should have expected this to happen.What goes around comes around, you know."

Bang! Bang! The guards fired their guns.

Edgar instantly moved between the guards. He is above them. Lighting is flashing on his body. His hands are holding the heads of the guards. He pushed their heads to the floor.

Boom! The floor cracked as the heads of the guards hit it. Their heads are bleeding, but they are still alive. They are also strengthened. They probably took a strength potion.

"You two should have been with him for a long time. Your hands should be tainted with as much blood as his hands."

Lightning increases on Edgar's hands, which hold the heads of the guards.

"Ahhh!" screamed the guards. Poncho tries to run away, but he stumbles. He crawls on the floor and tries to stand up.

Two magic circles appear above Edgar.

Two lightning beams flew and hit the legs of Poncho.

"Ahhh!" screams Poncho. He fell to the floor, then crawled.

The two guards stopped screaming. Their bodies turned dark. Smoke rises from their bodies.

Edgar walks toward Poncho.

Poncho heard the footsteps of Edgar. His face is full of despair.

He stopped crawling, and he faces Edgar.

"S-Sir, t-there should be a misunderstanding. W-we haven't even met before. It might not be me that offended you. I might be able to help you if you tell me what happened." Poncho thought that Edgar came for revenge and not for the family that he kidnapped.

"You haven't offended me. I just want to clean you up, not just you. Scum like you will follow you to hell later. I am supposed to train the dragon guards using scum like you, but I just recently got a useful skill. I want to practice it on scum while doing a good deed for society," said Edgar calmly.

Poncho's face changed when he heard that he did not offend Edgar and that he is being treated as a lab rat. He is actually getting killed because of a whim. His face turned very fierce.

"Fuck you! You think you are the only one that tried to become a hero?!! All of them are squash like an ant! Those guilds will hunt you down!" screamed Poncho.

"Don't worry, I have already planned it. I will not move if I am not capable of handling the consequences," said Edgar.

Flop! Edgar instantly appeared beside Poncho and put his palm on his shoulder. Flashing lightning appears on Edgar's hand.

"Ahhh!" screams Poncho.

Edgar stopped the lightning. Poncho's body is convulsing.

Edgar moves closer to Poncho and whispers. Poncho's eyes are getting bigger as he listens to Edgar.

"I will tell you a secret. I passed a gate of inheritance, and I plan to share aura cultivation and magic meditation with the whole world. Those guilds will be busy. They won't have time to pay attention to scum like you, not even the low-level hyperbeing behind you."

Edgar smiles at the shocked face of Poncho.

ILLUSION DUST

He roasts the man in a fire illusion after putting him in bliss and horror illusions. He got the information about the hyperbeing.

He went out of the illusion space and ended the fat man with a lightning beam.

An orange magic circle appears beneath his feet. Lines of fire appear and quickly move around. They avoid the obstacles swiftly and hit the guards, including those on the outside. Poncho and the guards burned. No other things were burned in the restaurant. They turned into ash. Ashes and burn marks appear on the floor.

A magic circle appears, then a white shockwave spreads and cleans up the ashes and burn marks. There is no CCTV around the restaurant. It is probably intended so the fat man can conveniently commit crimes in the restaurant.

Edgar went to the underground.

The middle-aged man and his two daughters are surprised when they saw Edgar. They were shocked when Poncho said that a hyperbeing they knew saved them, but they are aware that they don't have an acquaintance like that. They did not tell the truth to the fat man in the hope that he would let them go.

Edgar took a potion from his storage space. The potion burst into red lights above the middle-aged man, and his injuries rapidly healed.

He took out a briefcase with money from his storage space and put it in front of them.

"Take it. You need to leave here, and you can't go back to your place because they might catch up to you. Use the money and hide. Start over somewhere else," said Edgar.

The man and his two daughters cried when they heard Edgar. The hyperbeing in front of them has helped them so much.

"Thank you, thank you very much." The three of them kept thanking Edgar.

"Mister, what is your name?" asked the youngest girl. Edgar's figure is embedded in her mind forever.

"Me? I'm called Ghost of Dragon Hall," answered Edgar. Dragon Hall was a secret organization that he created in the virtual world to train special forces. Their missions are assassination and rescue. They assassinate those who deserve to be killed and rescue family members of desperate common folks who placed the mission.

"Ghost? Dragon Hall?" The three immediately understand that it's a code name and that he belongs to an organization.

"How can we repay you, Mr. Ghost?" asked the older woman.

Edgar smiled when he heard her question.

"Just help when a crisis occurs. Leave the cleaning of scum to us."

"B-But we don't have power," said the youngest girl.

Edgar looks at the sad and helpless faces of the trio. He hopes that the next time he sees them, they will already be wielding aura and magic.

"Do it when you have the power."

The man and his daughters escaped.

Edgar dispersed the gathering of elements in the air. He used lightning and fire magic, so there are more fire and lightning elements in the air than any other element. He repeated what he did outside of the restaurant.

He flew, then went to the hyperbeing behind the fat man.
