Chapter 253 - The Unique Clone Skill
"Adam, are you sure you are safe?" asked Wayde as Adam went to leave.
Although Wayde himself didn't believe that this female evil cultivator was a threat to him despite the commotion that she caused, he was worried about Adam, who hadn't told them everything that happened and the reasoning behind it.
"Thanks, Wayde, but I am fine and I just need to do some things" reassured him Adam who appreciated the worry that they had for him before leaving.
The first thing Adam did after leaving, was dash back towards his building and since the roads were all blocked by all the accidents that had occurred because of Jannet's roar, Adam went on foot.
People had all evacuated the area as per the police's instruction, which made it easier for Adam to move at his full speed without being noticed and use the Step Skip Skill as he reached his building quicker than he would have if he took a car.
Reaching his apartment, not caring if people saw him, Adam jumped up into his apartment and walked into his aunt's room.
On the ground was the neckless that he had seen his aunt always wearing ever since he was young and he picked it up and placed it close to his chest.
"I will get you back aunt and make sure that the Evil Soul within you pays. I will also correct any wrongs that you felt were my and the world's fault" vowed Adam as he tied the neckless around his wrist two times, turning it into a bracelet.
{Achievement Unlocked - Lone Hunter - this achievement is awarded to the host when he lost ties with all of his family and became a lone hunter. As a reward the host has gained a Unique Skill} announced the system.
[Really, Ava?] asked Adam who felt as though he hadn't lost any ties with family and saw Cole and Chase as his family anyway.
They were two people that he felt as though he could completely trust them and Adam didn't know whether to be happy or annoyed that he was receiving such a great reward at a time where he had just lost what was most precious to him.
{Um, well, sorry Adam. I was just passing onto you the system's reward}
Adam knew that even if he got his aunt back and got rid of the Evil Soul, his aunt wouldn't be the same after being an evil cultivator that had committed so many atrocious acts, but he was still willing to accept her as his aunt and his mother.
No matter what she did, Adam was sure that he could learn to forgive and love her after accepting it, but he needed to be capable enough to get her back in the first place.
A third Unique Skill was exactly what he needed to increase his power even more, and after seeing what it was, Adam didn't know whether to laugh, celebrate or cry.
{The Unique Clone Skill. This is a skill that allows the host to produce a clone of himself that has exactly the same stats and abilities as the host, but just like when the host summons a beast through the Collector Skill, it uses IESP to form the clone and also IESP to sustain the clone. However, the Unique Cloning Skill also uses EESP to summon and sustain the clone and any pain that is experienced by the Clone is passed back over to the host} stated the system.
{This ability was given to the host after becoming a Lone Hunter and maybe it will help with your lonliness} stated Ava, who was merely stating what the system was forcing her to relay to Adam.
{Adam, you know that....} said Ava before being stopped by Adam.
[Don't worry, we are past that and I know that it isn't you. Once I separate you from that pesky system program, then we won't have to worry about that happening anymore] Adam reassured her.
Despite everything that had happened, Adam had a smile on his face after gaining such an incredible ability.
With it, he was planning on becoming powerful enough to not only save his aunt, but also get rid of anything or anyone in the world that he felt was in his way or he felt shouldn't be in the world.
He wasn't playing god, but with power, he could do as he pleased and also help others that he felt like helping within his vicinity while increasing his power enough to be sure that he and his loved ones were safe.
Adam felt the knowledge of how to use the Unique Skill and felt the capability to use it enter his mind as he was amazed by how incredible the Unique Skill was.
Activating the Unique Skill, Adam felt 4 IESP and EESP be used to form the clone and another 4 IESP and EESP was used to sustain the clone for the first minute.
It stood before Adam and had a blank expression and was obedient to Adam, but could only act based on instincts and didn't have common sense or reasoning of his own.
"Do you understand me?" asked Adam.
His clone nodded his head.
"Do you have my memories"
The clone shook his head, but then went on to say, "I don't have your memories, but I know how to and can use all of the skills and techniques that you know".
"What about my Unique Skills?"
The clone shrugged and didn't seem to understand what that was.
{Unique Skills can only be used by you, even if he is your clone, he cannot use them} said Ava.
Adam was slightly disappointed by that, but the Unique Clone Skill was still very useful and although just like his summons, he couldn't sustain the clone for long, it would still be very useful to use.
[Ava, since you said that all the pain that the clone experienced comes back to me, what about the clone's memories and experiences] asked Adam as he felt his conversation with the clone appear within his mind, but from the clone's perspective.
{Just like you experienced just now, anything that the clone sees or senses is relayed back to the host after the clone is retracted along with everything that the clone experienced and learnt} answered Ava.
