SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

108 Fateful Encounter with Gray Wolf

The beast's corpse is completely swallowed by the black hole.

Within the dimension space of swallowing skill, the beast corpse is rapidly getting digested by the white smoke, turning it into green smoke and dust.

There is a sphere of green smoke in the dimensional space. They are the magic beasts that Edgar has swallowed in the past few days since he got the Swallowing Skill.

The beast's corpse is completely digested. What remained are just dust and green smoke. The green smoke flows into the green sphere. The green sphere is getting bigger.

Edgar moves the dust out of the dimensional space. The dust flows to a black hole in the dimensional space. Dust is coming out of the black hole in Edgar's right palm.

"The energy in the dimensional space should be enough for my aura cultivation for a long time. I should start saving more materials for my plans," said Edgar.

He looks in the distance. There are beasts moving toward him. They were probably attracted by the blood on the ground and the roar of the big serpent earlier. He is running out of oxygen.

"I will be back."

He floated, then flew toward the portal.

WOOSH! He came out of the portal, and he immediately flew away.

The big lizard is startled that the small creature has appeared again.

Edgar looks behind his back.

A smaller lizard is curious about the portal where the small creature came out. It approached it and tried to enter. The lizard failed, and it got angry. It smashed it with its tail. It attacked with earth spikes, but the portal is unscratched. It lost interest and moved away. It approached his father, the big lizard, to curry favor, but it was blown away by his father's big tail.

The magic beast cannot enter or exit the portal. The beast will only come out once the broken world bursts.

 

"I will let the earth lizards guard the broken world," thought Edgar, then he continued to fly from innerzone to outerzone.

As Edgar is flying in the outer zone, he notices something on the ground.

"Hmm? Is it fate?" asked Edgar to himself. He changed direction and flew down to the ground.

 

There are rocky hills on the ground. In front of a cave, a gray wolf is lying on the ground and severely bleeding. There are two anxious wolf cubs beside it.

Flop! Edgar landed near them.

The dying gray wolf senses the intruder. It tries to move, but it cannot move. Its expression turned fierce, but it could not even make a sound. It has many stab and slash wounds on its body. Some of its skin is burned. Its heart is even wounded.

The two cubs turned fierce, and they tried to protect their mother.

Edgar stretched his left hand, then a magic circle appeared on his left palm.

The magic circle releases a friendly frequency for the magic beasts.

The gray wolf senses that the intruder is not hostile.

Its expression stopped turning fierce, and then its eyes had a look of pleading as it looked at Edgar.

A healing potion came out of Edgar's storage space. The red liquid came out of the bottle, then it burst into shimmering red lights and sprayed the gray wolf, but it was too late; the wolf lost too much blood, and the wound on the heart is not easy to heal with potions.

Edgar approaches the wolf and looks into its eyes.

He stretched his left arm and gently petted its head.

"If you did not chase me, I will not dive into the river. I won't be who I am today. I'm sorry that I'm not capable of saving you, but I promise to take care of your children very well," Edgar softly said to the gray wolf. His right arm stretched to the cubs and pets their heads.

 

"It was probably pregnant when it was forced to run to the periphery of the outer zone. It cannot go back because of its cubs. The black boar was probably its prey for itself and its cubs. Its wounds are not simple. They are caused by hyperbeings, but no hyperbeings are close here. It probably did not run directly here, and it misled the hyperbeings. Doing that is not easy with these kinds of wounds," thought Edgar.

 

The gray wolf sees Edgar petting its cubs. It feels relieved, and it can finally rest in peace. The luster on its eyes is disappearing until its eyes are completely closed. The cubs became more anxious.

Edgar caresses their heads.

"She is gone," he softly said to the cubs. He took out two pieces of beast meat and fed them to the cubs that seem weak because of hunger.

The cubs smell the meat, and then they start eating.

Edgar stood up and turned to his back.

EARTH HOLLOW

A few meters in front of him, a three-meter hole starts appearing. The soil is turning into sand. Edgar manipulates the sand and rocks to move at the edge of the hole. After a while, the hole became deep.

 

A pile of sand moves and surrounds the big gray wolf. The sand lifts the wolf toward the hole. The sand and rocks at the edge of the hole start piling over the wolf. After the sand completely piled the hole, Edgar moved closer to the hole, stretched his arm, cast magic, and then threads of earth element flowed to the sand that piled the hole. The sand is starting to revert back to its form. It became soil again, and it is getting harder like stone as more earth elements flow. Edgar stopped after making sure that the wolf's grave was good enough. He cast magic to clear the blood on the ground and the traces left by the wolf, then he flew away with the cubs on his arms.

 

He casts camouflage, then flies closer to the ground when he is near the buffer zone. He moves to the blind spots of the sensors. He flew to the sky after passing the boundary, then he changed the color of his camouflage. His body is surrounded by a blue cloak, the same as the color of the sky.

 

He reached Manila, then flew down to a park with lush trees. He changed his outfit with magic, then took out his phone from the storage space. The phone floats in front of him, then he manipulates it with magic to call for a taxi on an app. The phone floats to his hand, then he holds it. He walks to the highway and moves to where the driverless taxi will park. There is a tracker on the app. The taxi is moving closer. He reached the place first. The taxi arrived, and he went in. The driverless taxi started moving. Edgar already provided the address of the destination.

 

When he reached his home, he brought the two cubs to the underground training hall. He put them into an illusion and brought them to his illusion space of combat. He kept replenishing his mana and trained them for two days in the illusion. One hour in illusion space is equivalent to one day in the real world. The cubs will be the new friends of Sasha. They will bring more color to the Rios family.
