SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

CLANG! A red aura blade blocked the dragon claw. They tried to push each other, then they burst.

Edgar is standing on a branch of a tree while his arm is covered in aura.

Dael stepped on earth in the air, then jumped to his back. A magic circle appears in the air, then a water dragon comes out and moves to his feet. He stands on the dragon's head as he stares at Edgar.

Edgar is also looking at the man.

"I thought men that are attached to families are all monsters, but you seem different. There is still humanity within you. You should have seen the horrors caused by the families. How can you still work for them?" asked Edgar.

Dael smiled when he heard Edgar. He remembers almost dying in a street. He can't move even an inch of his body because of hunger.

"Do you want to live?" asked a younger Mason.

The losing luster in Dael's eyes started to shine when he looked at Mason.

"Prove it to me. Reach out to my hand," said Mason.

Dael used every ounce of his being to move his hand. He was able to reach Mason's hand and firmly hold it.

Mason smiled as he held Dael's hand.

As Mason grew older, he became more distant and cold. Dael understood the reason as he received more tasks from the Holtien family. To keep his humanity, he visits orphanages and donates a large amount of his money. He also helps put street children into orphanages. The children's smile and laughter help him stop turning into a monster.

Dael chuckles while looking at Edgar and thinks,"I would have died long ago if not for Master Mason. And if I oppose the families, what will happen to the children in the orphanage? This red-haired man's aura is below mine, but I can feel so much danger from him. If I die, can the orphanages still receive enough money to feed the children? Although Master Mason is not saying it, I am one of the few remaining pieces that keep his humanity, so I will not betray my master and I will not fall here!!!"

He asks,"Did you know about us from Ronald? That man is really sly. He probably put a spy on one of our lookouts, causing the exposure of our hideout."

"You are right," Edgar answered calmly.

Dael's eyes turned sharper.

"I understand why you are attacking us. It's for the sake of the people of this country, but I'm also doing it for others sake! I will not be the one that will fall here!" Shouted Dael. He controlled the water dragon and moved toward Edgar.

The golem threw a huge earthen sword at Dael.

He jumped up with a somersault. He rapidly moved down from the air and attacked the golem with a giant water bomb.

BOOM! The water bomb exploded with a giant fireball cast by Edgar.

"His dragon beast form amplifies his strength and water magic. It's a good skill. Although it is not appropriate for swordsmanship and many of my martial arts, it is very useful under the sea or in the underwater world," thought Edgar after observing the man, then he activated his duplicate skill.

The golem suddenly runs forward.

Dael jumped up.

The golem did not attack him but kept running, then jumped toward the earthen sword that was stabbed to a tree. It pulled the sword and raised it above its head.

There are hyperbeings running to the site. They are some of the lookouts and survivors in the underground base.

The golem fell from the air and stabbed the sword to the ground.

BANG! Ground spikes suddenly rise from the ground.

"Ahhhh!" scream the hyperbeings.

The golem rotates, then cuts ground spikes. It holds the sword like a bat, then hits the debris toward the other hyperbeings.

Hyperbeings are hit, but some are able to dodge.

"Ahhh!" screamed a man. His body is hit by a debris and crashed him into a tree.

Sweat appears on a man who moved behind a tree.

"Fuck! That golem is abnorma-"

CRUNCH! A giant earthen sword suddenly stabbed the tree where the hyperbeing was hiding.

The golem jumped toward the tree.

Boom! The ground cracked when it landed. Then it pulled the sword, stained with blood.

"Shit! Coming here is a big mistake!" thought the remaining hyperbeings.

A while ago, Dael wanted to help the hyperbeings, but he was suddenly attacked.

Edgar punches with his right fist.

Dael stepped on earth in the air. He jumped up as he rotated his body,then struck his fist. Edgar rotates in the air, then hits the man's face with his left elbow.

"Acck!" Dael is blown away. He moved his body and landed his feet on a trunk. Edgar appears near the man and strikes his right arm with rotating threads of wind.

MINUTE SUBTLETY: WIND SHOCK

Boom! His palm hit the thick trunk of the tree.

Dael jumped to the ground. He stretched down his arms, then pushed himself up. His feet landed on the ground and faced Edgar, then he added more aura to his arms.

ARMS OF ARGONACH

The compact aura on Dael's arms turned into dragon arms. He jumped into the air and struck his right fist.

FIST OF ARGONACH

Red waves appear in the air and spread from his fist as the center.

BANG! A strong shockwave suddenly appeared.

Edgar is blown away with the debris and dust. He moved his body in the air and landed his feet on a trunk. Dael suddenly moved to his front.

ARGONACH'S FIST: TERMINATION

BANG! A concentrated shockwave hit the tree. Its trunk broke, as did the other trees behind it.

Edgar jumped up with a somersault and added more aura to his right arm, then accelerated from the air and struck his right fist.

FIST OF DESTRUCTION

Dael blocked the attack with his dragon arms,but he was blown away to the ground.

Edgar is rapidly moving down to Dael while raising his arms, covered with three-meter aura arms.

GIANT SMASH
