SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE - Chapter 208 Preparation

Chapter 208 Preparation

Seanlu jumped and kicked his foot down. The ball moved up, and he hit it with his head. The ball moved near the net. He jumped toward the ball and rotated for three hundred sixty degrees in the air, causing faint threads of wind around him.

“Hahaha, Spear addict, let’s see if you can still catch it at the back court!” said Seanlu while he was rotating.

CYCLONE

He kicked the ball with his right foot. The ball moved rapidly, but another foot moved to its front. Eric made a flying kick, then he hit the ball with his left knee.

“Four eyes, let’s see if you can predict where the ball is going,” said Eric while his back was facing his rival. He jumped with a backflip and kicked the ball with his right foot.

The audience thought they wasted their time coming to the gym because the original players were not able to play, but an unexpected surprise was shown to them. They were watching the game with wide open eyes.

In the evening, within the headquarters of the Dragon Guards, Robin and Batlan were introduced by Edgar to the team.

Their eyes were shining while they looked at the dragon guards. They did not expect that the most famous and strongest vigilantes would be on the same team.

“Nice to meet you all! Please take care of us!” They shouted and bowed their heads.

“Hahahaha, you are good kids. I heard and watched what you did in the city. If you want power, you are in the right place,” said Gan while patting their shoulders.

“Hahahaha, that power has a price, though. Can you bear it?” asked Busca.

“We can!” shouted Robin and Batlan, which caused a smile on the team. They held a welcome party for the new members.

The two teens approached Seanlu, who was cooking barbecue.

“S-Senior brother, c-can I have your autograph?” asked Batlan while scratching his head and with a look of embarrassment.

“Hahahaha, of course!” said Seanlu, who seemed happy.

Batlan looked happy and immediately gave him a notebook and pen.

“Senior, my girlfriend’s little sister is your big fan,” said Batlan with a wide smile.

“G-Girlfriend?” thought Seanlu.

Batlan kept talking and did not notice Seanlu’s expression.

“You saved her when you raided a den of traffickers. Her eyes were shining when she described how you fought. From that moment, she became your big fan. She even has your poster in her room. I know that many people imitated your autograph. She might think it isn’t genuine, but I still want to give it to her on her birthday hahahaha.”

“Hmm?” He noticed Seanlu’s expression, which turned into stone.

“W-Why does the senior’s expression look weird?” whispered Batlan to Robin.

“Idiot! He is Simpman! A man who’s been chasing a girl but can’t get her heart! You are hurting his feelings!” Whispered Robin, but their low voice could be clearly heard by Seanlu. Robin’s words further hit him.

“W-What should I do? Should I introduce him to another girl?” asked Batlan.

“Will you chase a girl other than Ana?”

“N-no.”

“It’s the same with him. Did Ana chase you or did you chase her?”

“I chased her. But Senior is a powerful hyperbeing, how can he not get the heart of the girl?”

“Idiot! That is his secret identity! If we remove that from the equation—”

Robin and Batlan looked up and down at Seanlu.

“Y-You mean he does not have the courage to chase the girl?” asked Batlan.

Robin touched his chin and said,”That might be the case.”

The frank words of the two boys hit Seanlu many times, which caused a chuckle from Edgar and laughter from others.

After the party, Edgar went back to their house. He stood on the balcony and looked up at the sky.

“There were no follow-up attacks from the families. It’s time to move on to the next step, but I must do something first.”

In the morning, he was floating above a swamp with green miasma. The miasma spread to the wide area around it. There was a big mound at the center of the swamp, and there were long vines around it.

Edgar moved near the center, then a vine suddenly moved and attacked him. He jumped up and moved on top of the vine. He ran toward the center. The vine wiggled and tried to shake him off. The other vines rose and attacked. Their top have a big mouth with many sharp teeth.

He jumped up as threads of lightning gathered on his right hand. A huge lightning spear appeared in his hand. He accelerated and raised the spear above his head.

He smiled and said,”Show me your power!”

The huge lightning spear rapidly moved to the center of the swamp.

Boom! It hit the green mound and exploded. There was an angry roar from a beast. The mound was a beast. It was like a twenty-meter-tall ball. It had one huge eye and the vines were its tentacles.

The beasts roared and attacked.

Bang! Bang! Its tentacles tried to hit Edgar, but they were hitting the swamp. The beasts looked distressed that the plants in the swamp were getting destroyed. The plants have emerald leaves and green pollen, the favorite food of the beast.

Edgar chuckled. He pointed to the sky and said,”Follow me if you don’t want to destroy the swamp and your food.”

He moved up, and a lightning spear appeared in his hand. The beast looked at him. It seemed to understand his motive to fight in the sky. It’s one huge eye turned sharper. Miasma came out of its body. The beast floated and faced him in the sky.

Edgar smiled. He activated his duplicate skill and attacked. The lightning spear flew to the huge eye. The beast swung its tentacle and destroyed the spear. It attacked with green balls. The balls exploded, but Edgar dodged them with ease. The miasma in the air became thicker.

“The beast’s poison is really deadly. I already duplicated a weaker level of poison, but I am already affected,” thought Edgar while looking at the miasma, then he looked at the beast.

The beast was an important part of the ecology in the area. The poison it regularly released was important for plants to survive. The plants were foods for smaller species and used as medicine or ingredients for potion.

“Don’t worry, I will not kill you. I just need your help to eliminate a scourge,” said Edgar with a smile.
