SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE - Chapter 232 Anger(2)
Chapter 232 Anger(2)
In a mansion in the United Kingdom, David was sitting on a sofa while watching the news on TV. “Have you called Alex?”
“Sir, we already tried many times, but we weren’t able to connect with his phone. According to PHA, they can’t find him on the island. The day that he disappeared, two branch leaders of Poison Guild were killed by a hyperbeing that uses lightning and rapier. There was a rumor that Maverick was hired to kill them, but he denied it. Poison Lord set up a death trap for the assassin on the island, but they failed, then they chased the assassin to a restricted zone. The rest is what you saw on TV about the incident in the island,” said Tommy.
A smile appeared on David’s face as his eyes turned sharper. “I was used as a gun. Now I am being used as a shield. Do they think that I am a fool?”
Then the face of a giggling girl appeared in his mind. It was a memory that happened before the broken worlds and hyperbeings appeared.
“Brother David, you can’t get the heart of my sister that way. Do you want me to help you?”
“Brother David, she is angry. Don’t worry, I will help you.”
David leaned on his sofa and sighed. He stared at the ceiling as his memory of Cecil’s sister kept playing in his mind. “She was like my younger sister, but I could not even take revenge. Should I just accept being a shield since whoever did it did me a favor? What do you think?”
Tommy had a look of hesitation on his face. “Sir, you did not personally move because you don’t want to clash with Death God and his guild. It could have caused heavy losses. If both our guilds had a war, we would not just mourn Mary’s death, but many more people who are close to us.”
David smiled. “Death God is not a fool. There won’t be a war, but the world will soon see a clash between 8th circles.”
Somewhere in the Philippines, Lisa and Edgar were watching a river while they were standing on a tree.
“We were praying that you could take down Poison Lord and his guild, but we still feel very shocked that you really succeeded,” said Lisa.
Edgar turned silent for a moment. “It’s the outcome that I expected, but it was not as easy as I thought.”
Lisa smiled. “You still did it. Thank you. We owe you a lot, but if I work for you now, I think it will do more harm to you and your team.”
“It’s fine. You already helped us by giving us the intelligence that we need.”
Lisa had a look of hesitation on her face.
Edgar smiled when he noticed her expression. “Don’t worry. We will take care of the girls that decided to join us.”
Lisa nodded her head. “Thank you.”
“See you later,” said Edgar, then he teleported. He appeared in an underground room where some dragon guards and the men and women who were forced to fight in the underground arena were waiting. “Have you all decided?”
“Yes.”
There were men who still had hesitation on their faces.
“Don’t worry, we will not force you to fight. There are many ways you can help. If fighting is not your field, then I will help you train in other fields like runesmithing or potion making. I will show you how I will do it, so don’t resist the illusion magic that I will use,” said Edgar, then red dust spread from his feet and moved toward the men and women. Their eyes started to become blank. Edgar was watching them in the illusion.Tôp 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l updates on n/(o)/v/𝒆lb/in(.)com
Gin walked and moved closer. “How is it?”
Edgar shook his head. “Some of them have a warped mind. The underground arena made their minds like that.”
“Are we going to dispose of them?”
“No. I will put them in bliss illusion and try to heal their minds, then I will periodically test their psychology. We cannot release them yet because they might expose us.”
“What if they aren’t healed?”
“If I decide to release them, it will no longer matter to me if they expose us. I will give them a chance. If they behave, they will live, but if there is ever any sign that they will turn into a beast, they will be quickly taken down,” said Edgar as his eyes turned sharper. Then he pulled the consciousness of others into his illusion space.
The men and women were shocked when they saw ach other again. They were having a wonderful dream, but suddenly appeared in a place where they saw familiar faces.
“All of you here have passed and could join our team,” said Edgar when he appeared in the illusion space.
“W-Where are the others?” Asked Barbara.
“They are still in the illusion, and they did not pass. Their experience in the underground arena affected their mind. I told you the goal of our team. If I let them join, it will only do us harm. They could put us all in danger, including your family and friends. I admire your will to stay sane and human, but not everyone who has experienced the underground arena will be the same.”
“What will happen to them?” Asked a man named Paco. He was the oldest. He was wounded a lot trying to save the others everytime they fought a magic beast. Many of them respected and listened to him.
“Don’t worry. I will help them heal with my illusion magic.”
Paco and the rest felt relieved.
“I will tell you how my illusion space works. One day in my illusion is equivalent to one hour in the real world,” said Edgar, causing the others to feel more shock. “Show me everything that you have.”
On Palawan Island, hyperbeings under PHA and the army were making patrols. The women who were forced to work in brothels were saved by the PHA. The relatives of the former prisoners of the underground arena were also given help. Those who wanted to move to the mainland were being escorted to a ship.
Several hours after the news on the island broke out, a private jet entered the airspace of the country, then it kept flying to Palawan Island.
Viel was floating above the sea in Puerto Princesa City.
The door of the plane opened, then a man jumped out.

Boom! Two giants landed on the sea near the beach of the city. The water only reached their knees. People in the city were watching the giants with a shock.
