SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 86 Arrival of a New Enemy

In the monitoring room of PHA, everyone's hope was ignited when they saw Edgar rushing to the scene.

Their eyes and mouths turned wide when the arrows shot by Edgar turned into a rain of arrows that killed every tier 1 orc. The eyes of everyone in the room are glued to Edgar on the screen.

"W-Who is that man?" asked Owen. Casting the rain of arrows can also be done by high-level magicians, but not everyone can copy what Edgar did. They cannot make every arrow hit every target.

An officer operated a computer. The figure of Edgar is captured, then the officer searches for a match in a database, and the result is 0 matches. The officer was shocked when he saw the result.

"Sir, he is not a registered hyperbeing. I also tried to search our database. It's the first time he appeared in our country or in the world," said the officer.

"What?! You mean he is just a new hyperbeing?! Measure his energy right now!" Owen is shocked. How can a new hyperbeing be so skilled and powerful?

A screen floats on the hologram. 1st level of aura and 4th circle of magic labeled Edgar

"How is this possible?!!" blurted Owen. The same question is running through others minds. They continue watching Edgar with astonished faces. Edgar quickly killed tier 2 orcs and saved a hyperbeing, sending flame swords that saved Robert and the hyperbeing, then killing two more tier 2 orcs. Everyone forgot to cheer that the situation is already under control.

"His fighting skills do not look like a newbie. That should not be possible unless—" Owen thought of a possibility why a newbie hyperbeing could be so powerful, Gate of Inheritance!

"There is a big chance that he is a citizen of our country and he is willingly helping. If he joins PHA, other than the president, we will have another hyperbeing that passed the gate of inheritance. This time, we must protect him no matter what the cost!" thought Owen. His eyes look very determined as he stares at Edgar on the screen.

The two orcs fought Edgar, but they were immediately incapacitated and committed suicide. The other orcs are also defeated.

"It seems that they have won," said an officer, and then they woke up. Their focus was on Edgar, and they did not notice that other hyperbeings had also defeated the other orcs.

"Yeah!" Everyone stood up and cheered.

"Hahahaha, that red-haired man single-handedly saved everyone there. The people and the hyperbeings might have been killed if he did not arrive. Make sure to keep the videos and information about him! It must not reach the hands of Poison Lord!" said Owen.

Everyone in the room had been rigorously screened. They can all be trusted by PHA.

"Yes, sir!" answered the officers.

"Sir, there are three poison guild members at the scene," said an officer.

A screen shows a video of the poison guild members moving together with other hyperbeings.

A frown appears on Owen's face. Killing intent is brewing in his eyes as he looks at the poison guild members.

"Should I send someone to kill them before they can inform Poison Lord? If I can realize why a newbie is very powerful, so does Poison Lord. I can talk to the other hyperbeings at the scene. They should agree to keep the information of the red-haired man as he saved their lives. Hyperbeings like them have social responsibility. They should realize the importance of red-haired." thought Owen.

An officer's face suddenly turned shocked.

"T-that," the officer stutters as he points his finger at the screen. The screen shows the video of the red portal. A huge gray ogre came out.

The other hyperbeings can no longer fight. They spent most of their aura and mana on their last counterattack.

Everyone's eyes move toward Edgar.

"Why is this happening?! Why in our country of all places?! The ocean is very wide! Why in our country?!" screamed Owen. He is gripping his fists hard.

Edgar's face changed. He felt Tier 3 energy that came out of the portal.

He flew quickly toward the portal. Five cylindrical objects came out of his storage space. Their colors are silver. There are indigo runes on their surface. They flew in four different directions. They are like rockets. A blue flame is coming out of their tails. The remaining one flew up to the sky.

The red portal closed when the gray ogre came out of the portal. He is more than two meters tall. He is wearing black pants, but his feet are bare. He has an amethyst horn on his forehead. His hair is amethyst. He has a necklace with sharp teeth. His whole body has black tattoos. The tattoos are magic runes. They help turn his mana into curse energy. The energy has an amethyst color. Their magic can turn mana into amethyst energy that they can use to attack or defend.

Roshack observes the surroundings. Dead orcs are all over the place. He spread his senses. He could not sense any alive orcs, but he sensed the hyperbeings. He cannot sense the further place, but he cannot hear any noise, which means the fight is over.

"There is something wrong in this world. The amount of mana and life energy in the air should not be possible in a low-level world. I was puzzled why no orc is reporting the progress of invasion. It seems they are annihilated by the magicians that I sensed. Are they the top forces of this world? They are easy to handle, but it shouldn't be possible for them to annihilate the orcs. Did they use forbidden skills? The passage is destroyed because I was forced to come. The resources given to me can only make one passage. I must try to get the resources here to make another passage." thought Roshack.

He walks toward the group of magicians that he had sensed earlier.

The hyperbeings are shocked that there is a new enemy. They can no longer fight. They even have to support each other to walk.

The team leader of the poison guild laughs.

He pushes the hyperbeings away and walks to the center.

"Hahahaha, it's just a mere ogre! Hey, newbie! Make sure to take a video. It's time for me to shine and make sure to capture the sorry appearance of the wastes behind me!" said Eldwic with arrogance. He cannot sense the energy of the ogre because of the distance, but the ogre can sense it. He thought the ogre is the same as the Tier 2 orcs.

"Roger, boss!" the newbie answered with excitement. He took out his phone and started recording. He moved the phone behind him and captured the hyperbeings who have angry expressions.

"Hey Ogre! Let me take your head! Don't worry, it will not be useless! It will be forever remembered as a stepping stone for my greatness!" said Eldwic to the ogre.

The ogre's face turned fierce. The runes on his body flashed. An amethyst color clad his whole body.

Boom! He quickly moves, and he instantly arrived in front of Eldwic. His right hand is holding the neck of Eldwic.

Eldwic's face is quickly turning dark as oxygen cannot flow. He released his aura and used magic. His hands are covered with fire, then he put them on the huge right hand of the ogre.

The ogre did not mind the magic of Eldwic. He lifts Eldwic and puts him closer to his face.

Eldwic stretched his right hand to the right side and formed a fire lance. He stabbed it at the ogre.

The ogre catched the fire lance with his left hand. Eldwic cannot move his right arm further. His body is getting weaker from the lack of oxygen. Despair is written on his face.

Amethyst runes start to spread from the neck of Eldwic to his whole body.

"You will not die peacefully! Die with unbearable pain!" Roshack shouted fiercely, and then he let go of Eldwic.

Eldwic fell to the ground, followed by a loud scream.

"Ahhhhh!" Eldwic screams.

The other two guild members are petrified and trembling.

"Kill meee!" pleads Eldwic as his eyes look at his teammates. His body is trembling on the ground because of severe pain. He cannot move.

The ogre looks at the two members, who look terrified.

An amethyst magic circle appeared on his right hand, and then an amethyst sword appeared.

"I need materials. If you do not give me useful information, you all will-" The ogre did not continue speaking as he felt a huge fluctuation of space. He has already felt it a few times, so he is familiar with it.

The four cylindrical objects that Edgar sent are floating near the ground in the north, west, east, and south. Their lower parts are divided into four. They look like the motor blades of a helicopter. Under the motor-like blades, are blue lights that help the objects float. Four indigo beams are flowing up from them. The beams flow to the last cylindrical object in the sky. The object in the sky is like a four-motor blades of helicopter. Each blade is connected to an indigo beam.

Woosh! Edgar flew out behind a building. He avoided the vision of the ogre, so he had to fly longer.

Boom! He charges down and rotates his body in mid-air.

Flop! He landed in front of the hyperbeings.

The hyperbeings seem to have found someone they can rely on. Edgar's back seems very big to the eyes of hyperbeings.

Edgar stares at the ogre. He felt a bigger fluctuation in space.

"It should be time."
