SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 156 Art of Thorn: Guardian Fall

Robert braces for the impact.

Boom! The firebeam hit, pushing the big shield and Robert to his back.

"Ahhh!" shouts Robert as he puts more strength into his feet.

The beam subsided. There is a gully in front of the shield.

The magic runes and crystal on the shield turned orange.

"It's my turn," Robert said with a grin. He lifts the shield to his left side.

Boom! The shield dropped, causing a hole in the ground.

CLANG! The shield separated in the middle. The whole size of the crystal appears, then it starts shining.

SHIELD COUNTER

Oom! A big firebeam flies to the beasts. It is causing a gully on the ground as it moves.

"Ahhh!" shouts Robert as he moves the firebeam.

"SQUUEK!" The beasts scream. They try to move away, but they are turned into dust.

The beam starts getting thinner until it dissipates. The magic runes on the shield returned to a golden color.

CLANG! The shield combined again.

The soldiers and hyperbeings' eyes are wide open as they look at the huge hole in the shape of a fan.

"SQUEEEK!" A loud scream of a beast suddenly appeared.

Brrgh! The earth shakes as a big beast comes out.

Bang! Huge boulders are blown away as a rainbow color twelve-meter-tall beast came out.

A big amount of soil lifts the beast.

SQUEEEK! The beast screams, then it starts moving toward Robert. The soil looks like a landslide as it bulldozed the ground causing huge dust.

The beast's body starts shining, and then threads of different elements are rotating around its body. Energy balls of water, fire, earth, and wind are forming.

Robert released a lot of mana, and then huge yellow energy covered his whole body. He raised his right arm toward the sky.

A huge magic circle appears in the sky. A giant shield colored black and golden is coming down from the circle. Robert swings down his arm.

ART OF THORN: GUARDIAN FALL

The twenty-meter-tall shield rapidly falls. The rapidly falling shield is like a huge yellow beam.

Bang! The shield hit the beast and continues to move down.

BOOM! There was a loud explosion. The huge body of the beast is blown to pieces, and huge boulders are blown away.

The twenty-meter shield is embedded at the center of a huge crater.

Robert is panting after casting the magic skill.

The crisis of the world's burst is solved with the help of three Evenheart members, and it shocked many people.

Meanwhile, Edgar is talking with Oscar in the dragon's eye.

"How is it?" Edgar asked Oscar.

"Boss, I already fixed it. The backdoor put by the top technology company is really there, but I already removed it. Whatever information is stored on the tablet, they will not be able to access it," said Oscar.

Edgar chuckles, then he says,"Those companies are really shady. How about the other one that I told you to do?"

Oscar clapped his hands.

"Polaris, show it to the boss."

"Roger!" said Polaris with a salute.

A screen appears that shows an app.

"It can transform the voice of the user into text. There are still errors, but it can already be used."

Edgar nodded when he heard Polaris.

There are similar applications on the internet, and Polaris cracked the code. She and Oscar worked together to build the app. Its difference from existing apps is that it can transform Filipino language into Filipino text. It can also translate it to English and vice versa. The translation is a lot more accurate. Oscar used the magic chamber to study and build the codes for many months.

"It will make it more convenient for policemen and investigators. With it, we can immediately get information."

Oscar smiles and looks proud of Polaris.

"What is it called?" asked Edgar.

"It's called Meow-Meow!" said Polaris as she showed a screen with a logo. The logo looks like a cat.

Edgar and Oscar turned silent.

"P-Polaris, y-you should change the name and logo," said Oscar with a sweat.

Polaris thinks, then points her finger.

"It's called Nyah-Nyah!"

The cat turned into a cat paw.

Edgar laughs, then he and Oscar go out of the monitoring room.

Polaris floats and sits on Oscar's shoulder. She is one foot tall. It is actually a golem made by Edgar. There are components of robots within, so Polaris can see and talk. To control it requires earth magic. Oscar worked hard so he could control the golem.

They went to the kitchen.

The refrigerator opened, and then food and a bottled soft drink flew out. Two plates and glasses flew onto the table. The foil that covers the food opens, and then the whole roasted chicken floats in front of Edgar.

Edgar raised his right hand, and a magic circle appeared. Threads of fire rotate around the roasted chicken.

Oscar is in awe of how his boss could control magic with ease.

The roasted chicken turned hot.

Edgar dispersed the fire. He covers his right hand with a sharp aura,then swings his arms.

The roasted chicken is cut into several pieces. Legs and wings flew to their plates, while the others flew back to the tray.

The honey trap team went out to the grocery store, so Edgar and Oscar have to eat frozen food.

"Boss, how are we going to give the tablet, and how are we going to manage the app?" Oscar asked.

"You need to build a company. You must approach Stella Co through Susan," said Edgar.

"Me?" Oscar is surprised.

Edgar nods and says,"It is a lot easier for the government to accept it. Everyone knows that you have unique ability. It will not surprise them a lot if you build the app. They will be surprised why a famous gamer suddenly changed a career, but your experience in orc invasion is a valid reason."

"I understand, boss," said Oscar, then he looks around the kitchen.

"It is a lot silent without them, especially the two boys," said Oscar.

Edgar smiled when he heard Oscar.

"They are having their first adventure as a team in a world of volcanoes."
