SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Oswal looks different. His skin is fair. The poison guild will not be able to recognize him. They won't look for him in Metro Manila because it won't cross their minds that he is able to escape from Palawan Island as an ordinary being. Although they won't look for him here, Edgar still gave him a little disguise, at least turning his dark brown skin into fair skin. He also gave him money and time to think about whether he wanted to join PHA or his team. He also showed him the power of Aktor's legacy on the beach.

Oswal thought that his biggest purpose is revenge, but that is actually so insignificant when compared to the world that is at risk of being destroyed.

"Mr. Simon is gone, but his parents, who are already old, are still alive. They don't even know that Mr.Simon is gone," thought Oswal.

He knew that Simon is gone because they were trying to lure him with his corpse when he was hiding in the restricted area. When Simon let him escape,he entrusted his parents to him. The poison guild does not know that Simon has a family. Simon asked him a favor: visit his parents during the holidays every year.

"Mr. Simon, I owe you my life. I promise to protect your parents' lives," Oswal thought, and then he also stepped forward.

Emily looks left and right. Everyone has already stepped forward. She looks anxious. She felt pressured, so she also stepped forward.

Edgar chuckles at silly Emily.

He turned to his back and looks at the railing. Sofie's back appears in Edgar's vision.

"You will be called Dragon Guards. It will take time before you become qualified to face the invaders, but I prepared steps that will make you have that qualification. One of the steps is to have an iron will. There is a way to help you hone your will while contributing a good deed—eliminating the scums. Let's make Dragon Hall give them terror, and let's make our place a little safer for ordinary people to live," said Edgar.

Everyone smiles while they look at Edgar's back. They feel that they are doing a lofty job.

A magic circle appears beneath Edgar's feet. It became bigger until the circle included everyone, then they teleported.

They appeared in the underground hall of the villa.

Everyone looks shocked that they suddenly appeared in another place.

They look at the hall. Aside from the tower in the middle and a strange-colored purple door with a silver edge, the hall looks empty.

"Follow me," said Edgar.

He walks toward the purple space door.

Everyone excitedly follows Edgar. They thought that there was nothing special about the headquarters of the Dragon Guards when they saw the empty hall.

They entered the space door, and then they are shock.

The wide pathway is made up of stone. On both sides are trees with many branches and pink leaves. Below the trees are lush green grasses. Twenty meters away from the entrance, there is a wide open space and a fountain with a gorgeous water display.

On the left side, twenty meters away from trees with pink leaves, there is a forty-meter-circumference blue lake. There is a long wooden pathway in the lake that leads to the gazebo in the middle. On the left side of the lake is a garden with a wide variety of magical or medicinal plants.

There are giant trees that look like brocolii with many branches all over the pocket dimension. There are giant mushrooms near the lake, but they are actually cottages built by Edgar.

The plants and trees can survive because beneath them, there are runes controlled by Polaris. The runes are all powered by lightning within a sealed chamber.

The sky is blue with cloud formations. It is a projection. There is a big sun in the sky that will turn into a moon in the evening. The sky and the sun are also controlled by Polaris.

Edgar went back and forth from a restricted area to the villa to transplant the plants and trees.

He has bigger storage equipment, so he only moved back and forth a few times. The lake is made with water magic. He went to such lengths to ensure that the dragon guards could have a safe place to relax and enjoy their time with their teammates.

Edgar looks at them. He removed his disguise, and then his real face and hair color appeared.

"Welcome to Dragon Guards Headquarters. My real name is Edgar Rios," said Edgar while smiling at them.

Everyone is surprised that Edgar is willing to show his real face. They can understand if he does not show his real face now since they only met recently.

"Are we still in the country?" asked Emily.

Edgar nodded, then said,"You are still in the villa. You are within a pocket dimension."

"What?!" everyone exclaimed when they heard it. They felt that their boss is much more capable than they thought. They feel excited.

"Hmm?" Eric seems to have noticed something on the lake.

A young man is riding a water wave. His upper body is naked. He is wearing white pants for martial arts. He jumped forward, then released his aura in mid-air. He rotated in the air while slowly swinging his right arm.

A water ribbon rises from the lake and moves around the young man, then it follows his rhythm.

The young man seems familiar to Eric. He rubs his eyes to ensure that he is not mistaken. He looks at the young man again.

"Fuck! Four eyes! It's really you!" shouted Eric as he pointed his finger at Seanlu.

Seanlu stopped practicing and looked at the source of the voice, which sounded familiar and irritating to him. Then he saw Eric.

"Damn! Why is the spear addict here? Shit, the boss told us that new dragon guards are going to arrive. Is he selected? Damn! How can fate be so cruel? I will see his annoying face every day!" Seanlu's face turned ugly as he looks at Eric.

Melody was tending the garden. She already saw them with her life detection when they arrived. She walked out of the garden. A magic circle flashed beneath her feet, then a wind carries her to the sky, and she flew toward Edgar and the other new members.

Melody's ash-long hair and white dress are swaying as she flies.

"What a beautiful lady," said Mike as he saw Melody flying toward them. He is only amazed. His type is mature women.

Busca does not care, the same as Oswal. They only think about martial arts right now. More so when they knew the crisis on Earth.

Eric seems to have someone else in his heart, so he is not affected much by Melody's beauty. He still stares at Seanlu, who is riding a water wave and also moving toward them.

Emily feels very happy that there is another lady on the team.

There are two other men walking toward them.

"Hahahaha! Are they the new members?" asked Gan.

Gin has a much better look. He does not look as decadent as before. He shaved his beard. His eyes look sharper.

Everyone arrived.

Edgar looks at them.

"Right now, we need to hide our forces as we are still too weak to face the forces that will suppress us once we become a threat. Once we come out of hiding, anyone that touches us must be ready to face destruction!"
