SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 96 SSS Skill: Swallowing(2)

In the morning, Edgar is walking on the ground within a pit while light brown dust is flowing. He is wearing his black coat and holding his sword.

The ground is light brown. The huge pit was an open pit for mining. Not too far from the huge pit are lush forests and mountains

There is a big cave in the pit.

A slithering sound appears.

A huge snake came out of the cave. Its scale is brown, and its bottom is white. It stares at the creature that dares to enter its territory.

Edgar took a sword stance. He is not here to duplicate a skill. He will slay the beast and try the swallowing skill. The huge snake is destroying the ecology of the surrounding forest and mountains. Beasts are running out of food in the inner zone, so they are forced to move to the outer zone, causing many beasts to move out of the restricted zone. The pressure on defense is too much. PHA tried to find the snake, but they failed. Edgar easily found it with his detection skill.

ROOOAR! The whole body of the huge snake came out. It is fifteen meters long.

WOOOSH! It opened its big mouth and attacked Edgar. It is so fast.

Bang! Brrgh! The huge snake bit where Edgar was standing. It missed and continues to move forward, causing a gully on the ground.

Edgar jumped up with a somersault, then he charges down to the head of the snake. He covers his sword with his concept, then slashes it.

The snake sensed the danger, it turned its brown scale into gold.

CLANG! The sword seemed to have hit a very hard metal.

Edgar landed near the head of the snake.

The snake shakes its head and body. Edgar jumped up, then the snake opened its mouth and bit him in mid-air.

Edgar stepped on earth, then he moves forward. He rotates his body in mid-air and landed on the wall of the huge pit. He took a slashing stance. Threads of white aura and fire element gather on his sword.

The huge snake faces Edgar, then earth element cover its body.

Boulders and stones float from the ground. They stay in the air around the snake, then fly toward Edgar.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Many stones and boulders are quickly flying.

Magic circles appear around Edgar, then earthen spears come out and fly toward the stones and boulders.

Boom! Boom! Stones, boulders, and earthen spears keep clashing. Destroyed boulders and stones are crashing to the ground. Large particles of dust form in the air.

The snake keeps attacking with stones and boulders.

Bang! The wall cracked as Edgar suddenly moves.

He swiftly dodges the stones and boulders while flying toward the snake. The king's sword is forming.

Bang! Bang! The stones and boulders that missed Edgar hit the wall of the pit, causing huge amounts of dust and soil to erode from the wall.

The snake combines the stones and boulders together.

A huge boulder appears, then it flies to Edgar.

Threads of white aura are rotating on the king's sword. Edgar holds it with his hands,then he slashed it to the huge boulder.

BANG! A white aura blade cut the boulder. The boulder is separated into top and bottom.

The aura blade continues to fly. The snake sensed the danger earlier. It was able to move its upper body to the side, but it was still hit and got a big wound below its head.

The snake screams.

Edgar stepped on earth and jumped up. He accelerated from the air as threads of white aura rotate on his sword, then he landed on top of the huge boulder.

Boom! He charges toward the wailing snake.

The snake saw Edgar moving toward it.

Many stones and boulders from the ground rapidly flew into the air.

WENNG! The snake's head separated from its body.

Edgar is behind the snake with flashing lightning on his body. A white aura blade is flying down to the ground.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The stones and boulders in the air start falling down, followed by the huge body of the snake and its head. Huge, light brown dust spreads in the pit.

Edgar is panting while floating in the air.

"Huff huff, Three Kings Slash is really my current limit, but it should change soon. With the swallowing skill, my aura cultivation should progress a lot faster than my estimate before," thought Edgar as he disperses his king's sword.

He moved down toward the huge corpse, then stretched his left arm and activated the swallowing skill.

A black hole swallowed the beasts.

The huge corpse appears in the dimension, then the white fog surrounds it and quickly gets digested. The huge corpse turned into a lot of green fog and dust.

Edgar removes the dust from the dimension, then manipulates the green fog to form a green sphere in the dimension.

"It should be enough for my aura cultivation for quite some time," murmured Edgar.

Edgar went home. He entered his underground training hall.

He walks to the center and takes a stance for mystic dragon art. Green fog separates from the green sphere in the dimension and then flows to his body.

MYSTIC DRAGON ART

Edgar moves and breathes with rhythm. He keeps moving until his body is saturated with aura.

He raised his hands and grips his fists.

"If I were to rely on mystic dragon art alone, it would take a lot longer to strengthen my body. I can't forcefully add more aura to my body or else I will be destroyed. It takes time for my body to adjust, become stronger, and increase in capacity to keep more aura. The stronger my body, the stronger my mind, and then I can form more magic circles on my core. I should be able to gain power that can fight back even if more powerful invaders appear," thought Edgar.

He took a deep breath and took a fist stance. He jumped up and put more aura to his right foot, then he made a side kick. More aura flows to his right fist.

Boom! He accelerated from the air and punched the ground. He moves and keeps performing martial arts while using his aura. Consuming aura quite helps in accelerating the body to become stronger and increase the capacity to keep aura.
