SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

The huge arm hit Ronald's left side and pushed him to the right wall of the tunnel.

"Acck!" Blood flows from his mouth as he crashes to the wall. The arm opened its palm and grasped Ronald.

The camouflage cloak that covers Edgar disappears as he walks.

The arm lifts the man and moves him toward Edgar.

Ronald grits his teeth while releasing a large amount of aura.

"Ahhh!" shouted Ronald as he forcefully stretched his arm.

Bang! The palm is destroyed. He casts magic, then the earth rises from the floor and covers his whole body. The earth turned into full body armor.

Edgar suddenly appears in front of Ronald. His whole body is flashing with lightning. Threads of wind are moving around his right arm. He rotates his palm as he strikes it toward the belly of Ronald.

MINUTE SUBTLETY: WIND SHOCK

BOOM! A rotating wind came out of Ronald's back. Cracks appear on his earthen armor, then the armor is totally destroyed and falls to the floor. He coughed out blood and fell to his back.

Edgar put him into an illusion. He frowns and thinks,"This rebel was helped by a man named Dael. Jan was with that Dael when they made the plan. Ronald is secretly cultivated by the families. His aptitude for magic and aura is not that high, but he is quite sly and has a good tongue. He is probably a hidden chess piece that will be activated if the country becomes disobedient. If the prices of food were not controlled and domestic turmoil appeared, he could have recruited more rebels. Their strategy failed, so they modified their plan—a very vicious plan."

A magic circle appears at the ceiling of the tunnel, then a big, sharp spear comes out. The sharp spear points at the body of Ronald.

"Those men, Dael and Jan, are leading the other forces of rebels. This man does not know the exact place of the hideout, but he knows the general location, a mountain with a wide range of jungle. They chose a nice place, but they chose the wrong turf to mess with."

Bang! The big spear stabbed Ronald and buried him in the ground.

Edgar's eyes look very cold.

"They will be terminated."

In a lush jungle, Dael and Jan are talking in a room of the hidden underground base.

"Hahahaha, that damn Gerrit is probably sulking right now. He went back to Europe with a very bad performance. This is my rare opportunity," said Jan with a wide smile.

Dael chuckles. He is a foreigner, semi-bald, wearing a fitted shirt and black pants.

"Will that Ronald be alright?" asked Jan.

Dael smiles and says,"It's fine. I'm planted by the Holtien Family in this country for this purpose. If Ronald died, another one will rise. I already trained and selected them. They don't need a high level of magic or aura as long as they have a good tongue that can instigate rebellion. As long as the families keep supporting us, we can keep creating disposable pawns."

"Hahahaha, this country will be torn to pieces by wars. I wonder how much this country must be torn to pieces before Master Mason is satisfied," asked Jan to himself.

Dael shakes his head, then leans on his seat and looks at the ceiling.

"Why did they choose to clash with the families? Many citizens of this country will suffer as a price," thought Dael.

The clouds keep getting darker, then they block the moonlight in the sky. When the moonlight disappeared, Edgar arrived. He floats in the sky as he looks at the jungle.

There are tall, mutated trees, and some hidden hyperbeings are standing on branches. They are some of the lookouts at the underground base.

Edgar raised his right hand. A thirty-meter magic circle formed in the sky. Orange swords are coming out of the huge circle.

ART OF FLAMEWORTH: SWORD RAIN

Two-meter-tall swords fall from the circle and rapidly move down. They look like falling beams.

Most lookouts are immediately killed. Some are able to dodge. A hyperbeing is shouting as he dodges and jumps.

"WE ARE BEING ATTA-"

"Ahhh!" screamed the hyperbeing. His body is stabbed by a huge sword, which impaled him to the ground.

A hyperbeing dodged a sword and jumped to a smaller tree. He screamed as a giant sword stabbed his back and impaled him on top of the tree.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The huge orange swords are falling like rain and shredding the trees and ground within thirty meters.

Some hyperbeings in the underground base are able to move to the surface, but they are also stabbed by the swords.

BANG! The underground base collapsed. Thick dust formed around the area.

Swords stopped falling from the sky. Many of them are stabbed on the ground or in trees.

Dael is able to escape. He is running in the jungle with a look of shock.

"How did they find us?! I even have men everywhere in the jungle. They should have informed us before the enemies could approach the underground base! How could the enemies slip from my men?!"

Brrgh! A huge arm rose from the ground and struck Dael.

BEAST FORM: DRAGON ARM

Boom! The arm crashed him into a tree. He is able to cross his arms in front of his body. His arms are turned into blue dragon arms. Blue scales appear on his neck and cheeks.

WARRIOR OF IFFENHEIM

A mound rises up to ten meters from the ground and molds into a golem with full body armor. It raises its left arm and strikes at Dael, pinned by its right arm.

He added more aura to his arm. He steps on earth in the air, then swings his arms and jumps up with a somersault.

Bang! The golem hit the tree, causing a big crack in the trunk.

Dael put his feet on the trunk, then he accelerated toward the golem.

WATER DRAGON: BEAST ARM

A giant dragon arm came out of the circle on his right fist and struck the golem.

The golem was hit. It is pushed to its back and hits a tree.

Dael's left hand is stretched to his back. Threads of aura were rotating around his hand.

DRAGON CLAW

A big slash of claw is rapidly moving to the golem.
