SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

At 4 a.m.,Edgar approached the mansion of Poison Lord. He stopped when he reached the periphery. He was chuckling inside because he detected the devices of a dimensional lock buried underground. There were also hyperbeings hiding beneath the ground. He stayed where he was standing.

The hyperbeings who were hiding lost their patience. They had been waiting since evening.

Boom! A huge green viper tried to crush Edgar, then a huge poison ball came out of its mouth.

Boom! A fire dragon and another dragon made up of golden poisonous slime also attacked and tried to bite him. Then they attacked with fireballs and golden balls.

There were explosions as Edgar kept dodging the attacks.

The dragons stopped attacking, and then three hyperbeings stood on each of their heads. There was green and golden gas floating around the air, and there was fire burning on the ground because of the dragon's attack.

"Poison Lord?! Why are you here?!" shouted Edgar, but he felt calm inside.

Poison Lord chuckled. "You seem to have sensed the danger. Too bad, you were just a few steps toward your death."

More crackling lightning appeared on Edgar's body, then he quickly ran away.

"Boss, aren't we going to chase him?" asked Karan while standing on the fire dragon's head.

Poison Lord smiled. "I put our men on the route toward the city to block him. There is only one route where he can run. That is toward the restricted area. If we can't trap him here, then he'll have to be killed where only we will be the witnesses. If he is Alex and reveals who he is, then we'll face greater trouble if many people in the city witness it. I will let Jargo and Flore intercept him. You two must guard here, in case something happens."

"Got it, boss!" answered Karan.

A frown appeared on Vistal's face as he stood on the head of the golden dragon.

The huge viper turned into green fog and dispersed, then Poison Lord floated with his cape and chased Edgar. He pressed the earpiece on his ear, then ordered Jargo and Flore.

On top of the wall of the main stronghold, Jargo was talking with his vice commander, named Diego. "He really appeared, but the first trap failed."

Then he chuckled. He took the cigarette from his mouth, then a compact aura covered his hand and crushed the cigarette. The aura spread to his whole body. "Take command of the stronghold. You might not enjoy it for too long, though, because I will be back immediately."

Jargo jumped down from the wall, then dashed when he landed on the ground.

A poison guild member approached Diego.

"Sir, why is Commander Jargo not using his cape to fly?"

"Idiot, he'll be visible to the enemy if he were to do it. Isn't that the same as telling the enemy that he is going to intercept him?" said Diego. He stared at Jargo's back for a moment and said, "Alex or not, that assassin will definitely be killed unless he is a demigod."

"Hahahaha, sir, that is impossible!"

Meanwhile, in Poison Lord's mansion, Vistal felt uneasy. "I will follow the boss."

"Why?" asked Karan.

"I just want to make sure that the boss will be fine."

"Did you notice something?"

"Yeah, but I am not sure. So I want to follow the boss in case something happens. Guard the headquarters," said Vistal, then he floated and flew away.

Karan stared at Vistal as a frown appeared on his face. He patrolled around the mansion as he kept thinking, "Vistal is smart. Did he realize something that will put the boss in danger?"

An aura covered his body, then he immediately ran. "Call Malik, tell him to guard the headquarters."

"Yes, sir," said a poison guild member who heard his order.

"Damn, my magic cape was destroyed in my last adventure in the broken world. It would have been easier to follow them. I don't care if something happens to the headquarters, the boss' life is the priority," thought Karan. He and Vistal have been on Poison Lord's side even before he became a hyperbeing. They were more than underlings. They were like brothers.

"Hmm?" Karan saw the helicopter on the mansion, then a smile appeared on his face.

A few moments later, the helicopter floated from the mansion and flew to the restricted area.

Several minutes later, a frown appeared on Poison Lord's face. "Where are Jargo and Flore?"

He stopped flying and floated in the air while he was thinking.

Oom! Four beams of purple light suddenly flew from the ground.

"What?! Dimensional Lock?!" Poison Lord felt shocked. He looked up at the huge dimension, which was two hundred meters high and three hundred meters wide. The hills, huge plants, and trees were all turned green.

A circle was moving up from Edgar's feet. His outfit was changing. His coat appeared, and he showed his real face. He floated as he sharply looked at his enemy. "I've been dreaming of this day to come for a long time."

Poison Lord chuckled as he looked at the white-haired boy. "A fellow countryman? Did the PHA send you? What a big joke! If you want me dead, then Viel must at least come! How can a puny third level and 6th circle like you fight me?!"

Swordheart appeared in Edgar's hand. His eyes were turning sharper. "Toto, my friend's birthday is coming soon. Your head will be my best gift."

Poison lord was chuckling as green gas floated out of his body. His face was turning fiercer as he looked at the boy. "Tell me your friend's name. I will try to keep your body intact, so I can send it as a gift. Don't worry, I will only kill your friend after the birthday."

Outside of the dimension, Vistal looked shocked when he saw the huge purple sphere. He kept flying with a look of worry on his face. He pressed the earpiece on his ear, but it wasn't working. "Is this also their plan? Cut off the communicati-"

RAMSON'S HAMMER

Vistal blocked the sudden attack with his arms, but his back hit the trunk of a tree.

BANG! Oswal followed up on the attack. The trunk was crushed, and it crashed to the ground with Vistal.

Oswal raised his arms as lightning gathered to his huge hammer.

ART OF RAMSON: LIGHTNING FIELD

GOLDEN ARMS: HARD

Bang! Golden slime rose and formed two huge arms, then turned hard and blocked the attack. There was a lot of crackling lightning as Oswal tried to push his hammer. Cracks appeared on the arms.

Boom! The arms broke, then the hammer hit the ground. Vistal rolled and was blown away by the impact. He somersaulted and landed his feet on the ground.

Oswal charged toward Vistal, but small dragons moved toward him and attacked with golden balls. He jumped forward with a somersault.

RAMSON'S HAMMER

Boom! The huge hammer hit the ground. Vistal had jumped back and floated in the air, then stretched his arm.

GOLDEN PRISON

The slime near Oswal that was blown away by his attack suddenly moved and trapped him. It turned into a huge ball.
