SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Edgar entered a broken world. He is shocked at the magnificent scene in Space Land.

There are big tree roots everywhere. Around the roots are grasses and flowers like lavender. There are also a huge variety of dark purple plants on the ground and roots. There are mounds and small mountains around the roots. There are big purple flowers that look like roses. One of them suddenly spit a long vine and caught a small purple flying beast. They are carnivorous plants.

The trees are very huge. They are almost one kilometer tall. Their trunks are like twisted ropes. Their leaves are purple. The leaves are shining, and there are shimmering purple lights near the leaves. The leaves are absorbing life energy from the air. Some of the life energy is transported to the ground, helping the plants around it to survive.

In the sky are different colors of stars, stardust, and nebulas. It looks like Edgar is truly in space.

He is fascinated as he stares at the beautiful scene in the sky.

"I read in the forum that they are not real, but they really look too real," thought Edgar. He shakes his head, then lets go of his aura and covers his body with mana instead.

"The gravity is less than Earth, and there is no oxygen in space land. The mana that covers my body could only help me last for a few minutes before I run out of oxygen. The next time I come here, I should bring a magic oxygen mask," Edgar thought. Magic researchers and master runesmiths in the Aurora world collaborated and invented a magic oxygen mask that no longer needed blue algae for oxygen.

He brought out an energy meter from his storage space. The energy meter looks like a small phone. He tries to turn on the energy meter, but it won't turn on.

"Electronics are really not working inside the broken world unless they are made with magic," said Edgar. The energy meter that he brought out should be used outside of the broken world.

Edgar brought out another energy meter. It is a small, rectangular white object with pointers and three different bar colors. The surface of the energy meter has magic runes. He moves it closer to the portal. The magic runes flashed, then the pointer started moving to the right. The pointer moved and stopped at the yellow bars. The first energy bar is green, while the next yellow bar is red, which is an indication for Tier 3.

"This space land is Tier 2," Edgar murmured. He put the energy meter back in the storage space.

He looks at the ground.

"I hope I can find space stones and space crystals here. They will be important for my plans," thought Edgar.

LIFE DETECTION

The radar did not spread around him like before. The invisible shockwave spread into the ground and underneath it. It only spread up to one kilometer in circumference. It is a radar that detects the ground, but the limit is one kilometer.

"Hmmm, there are no space stones and crystals, not even magic minerals. I forgot to study geology in the virtual world. It seems I have to include geology in my study to make it easier to spot the location of magic minerals. There is a forum about that on the website of hyperbeings. I was planning to study it, but I did not expect to do it earlier than I expected," said Edgar.

"It's amazing how nature works. Those trees could actually cause a thriving ecology," thought Edgar as he looks at the scene in front of him.

LIFE DETECTION

Plants, beasts, roots, trees, and mountains appear in Edgar's mind. He hasn't found the blue crystal, and his radar did not reach the edge of the space land.

"This broken world is really huge," thought Edgar, then he looks in the air.

"Beasts have noticed me."

Flying beasts are moving toward Edgar. They look like serpents that has many sharp teeth. Their color is dark purple. Their back have a column of sharp spines.

Edgar moves toward the serpent. He stretched his arm to the side, and then his sword appeared.

Threads of wind element rotate on his sword.

The serpents open their mouths, and then attack with purple energy balls.

Edgar swings his sword at the energy balls and serpent.

Many wind blades flew.

The wind blades cut the energy balls and the serpents.

Bang! The energy balls exploded.

Flop! Flop! Dead serpents and their remains are falling to the ground.

More serpents are coming.

"They are not using space elements. Their magic skill is just another way of turning mana into energy for attack. It is useless to me," thought Edgar.

The incoming serpents move closer together. Their bodies are covered with purple energy, and then they are combining together, forming a bigger, dark purple serpent.

"Hmm? Are those smaller serpent clones? No, they have real flesh. It should be a unique skill of their species. It should only be possible to combine if both species know the skill and belong to the same species. The body structure should also be the same. The skill is really just applicable to their species," thought Edgar as he observes the serpents.

He put his sword in his storage space, then stretched his right arm to the right side.

Threads of fire element and white aura rotate on his right hand. They are quickly forming king's sword.

ROOOOAR! The dark purple serpent roars. It became ten meters tall. Big threads of purple energy are gathering on its mouth and forming a bigger purple energy ball.

King's sword formed on Edgar's right hand, but it can only exist for a short time. He took a throwing stance,then threads of white aura move around the sword.

A white magic circle appears in the air.

WOOSH! Edgar threw the King's Sword toward the mouth of the Big Serpent.

The King's Sword passes through the magic circle.

ZOOOM! The king's sword suddenly accelerated. It is moving like a white beam. Threads of white aura are flowing around it. It left an afterimage of a white line in the air.

The big serpent wanted to fire the energy ball, but it was too late.

Boom! The king's sword hit the energy ball. The middle of the energy ball has a huge gap. The scene on the back of the serpent can be seen in the gap because its back has a huge hole.

BOOM! The energy ball exploded, completely obliterating the serpent's head and upper part of its body. The remaining body of the serpent starts falling to the ground.

Boom! The huge body crashes to the ground.

Edgar approaches the beast's corpse. He reached the corpse, then stretched his right arm toward it. 

SWALLOWING ACTIVATE

A black hole forms on his right palm, then the corpse is swallowed.
