SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

"Human! Pay with your limbs for your insolence!" Roshack arrived in front of Edgar and slashed his amethyst blade. The blade is aim at the left shoulder of Edgar.

Edgar moved to the right and avoided the blade.

Bang! The blade hit the ground, leaving a blade mark and a crack.

Roshack turned his body to his left side to follow Edgar.

Edgar suddenly moves. He instantly arrived in front of Roshack.

Edgar is very close to the body of the ogre. His left foot is behind the right foot of the ogre. His right palm, clad with an aura, struck the body of the ogre. When the palm touched the body, he tripped the right foot. The ogre lost balance, then Edgar applied more force to his palm.

Bang! Roshack is pushed to his back rapidly.

Boom! The back of the ogre hit a hard wall. The wall cracked. The crack spread, then parts of the wall gave in and divided into rubble. The ogre is buried within the rubble.

Bang! The rubble is blown away. Roshack walks while staring fiercely at Edgar. He disperses his amethyst sword. The amethyst that clads his fingers is suddenly changing. It is turning harper.

Boom! Roshack suddenly accelerates. His right palm is forming a black hole.

Lightning flashes on Edgar's body. He quickly moves to his back.

Bang! Roshack hit where Edgar was standing. The ground has cracks and a crater. Roshack's arm is buried. He pulled out his arm, and dust came out of the black hole

Roshack stares fiercely at Edgar.

He rushes to Edgar as he stretches his arm.

Edgar jumps back, and he maintains a distance of four meters from Roshack.

"I noticed earlier that the pulling power of the black hole is quite weak when the two hyperbeings are nearly four meters away from the ogre. They panicked and did not react quickly, so they were pulled easily. The closer the distance to the ogre, the stronger the pulling force of the black hole," thought Edgar.

Roshack dispersed the black hole. More amethyst is flowing into his arms. Burning amethyst arms form on his two arms, then he swings his arm to Edgar.

CURSE CLAW

A burning slash of claw attacks Edgar.

He swiftly moves his body and avoided the attack.

Boom! Roshack dashes, then he jumped as he raises his right arm above his head. He put more energy to his right arm. The burning amethyst arm became bigger, then he smashes it to Edgar.

Boom! The big arm smashed the ground and created a crater.

Edgar dodged the attack.

The big amethyst arm retracted to Roshack's arm and became smaller. 

Flop! Roshack landed on the ground, then runs toward Edgar.

Edgar jumped back.

Roshack increased his speed.

Edgar casts earth magic, then he steps on earth in the air.

Boom! The earth turned into powder as he accelerates toward Roshack.

Woosh! Edgar is below the ogre. Lightning is flashing on his body while in a sideward position. Edgar's left foot hit the right foot of the ogre, who was rushing forward, and made him lose balance. His right hand is holding the necklace of the ogre, who is floating in the air with an astonished face.

Edgar swings his right arm to the ground.

Bang! The ogre's back hit the ground.

Edgar rotates his body. He put more aura to his palm, then strikes them at the head of the ogre.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The palms keep hitting the head of the ogre. The head is getting buried in the ground. 

Boom! Edgar is blown away by the sudden release of big amount of amethyst energy.

Roshack stands up. A lot of amethyst energy covers his whole body. Amethyst blood is flowing from his nose and mouth. His face looks hideous as he stares at Edgar. He wants to tear him to pieces. He felt humiliated.

Edgar also stares at Roshack.

"Passive defense will only make me weaker while the enemy will not be much affected. I should attack when there is a chance, but I should be careful as one wound from his attack might bring danger because of his curse magic. I will use myself as bait to make him keep using that SSS skill. If I were to incapacitate him like what I did to the orcs, he might also take suicide. I cannot mess up. The next invaders might no longer be Tier 3, but at the level of demigods. I can no longer have this kind of chance later. This is a great risk that I have to take!" thought Edgar.

"Human! You will have a painful death! Not just you! Even the magicians that you saved! I will look for your family and let you watch them die painfully!" said Roshack.

Edgar fiercely stares at the ogre and wants him to know later what is on his mind.

"Ogre, you are alive because I allowed it."

The amethyst energy flows into Roshack's body, then he starts transforming. His body gets bigger. Two more amethyst horns appear on his forehead. His eyes turned amethyst, and his hair turned white and longer. His fingernails on his hands and feet became longer and sharper. His height became two meters and a half.

Edgar saw the action of the ogre.

"As I thought, the ogre is not using his whole power. It's time to also increase my power and speed."

He takes a palm stance, then covers his whole body with an aura. More lightning is flashing on his whole body. He activated parallel thought. His other thought looks at the golden runes being formed and estimates the remaining time. He deactivated the parallel thought after estimating the time.

"Twelve minutes left."

Roshack walked out of the crater.

Boom! He suddenly moves to Edgar and slashed his sharp fingers.

A huge, burning claw hit where Edgar was standing. It leaves a huge, burning claw mark on the ground as it keeps moving.

Edgar avoided the attack by moving to the side, then he keeps moving away.

Roshack followed Edgar, then slashed his fingers. A huge horizontal curse claw rapidly moves.

Edgar lowered his body to his back and smoothly moves his body, which is parallel to the ground, then he jumped away.

The huge horizontal burning slash of claw keeps moving when it missed Edgar.

Bang! It hit the pillars and foundation of a building.

Crakk! Cracks appear on other pillars and the foundation of the light green building. The building starts tilting to the left until it completely falls.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The buildings on its left side are devastated. Some rubble is burning with amethyst fire. If Edgar had not used the dimensional lock, many people would have died.
