Chapter 31: Clone

When his aura was absorbed by the wooden heart, Aldric instantly felt a very faint, mysterious connection between them.It was vague but he was sure there really was such a sensation, something he could hardly comprehend.

Only, that connection disappeared not long after, as if it was severed. It seemed like her aura could not make her bond with the wooden heart.

"Mm...!"

Then he saw a faint glow from within the heart, expanding rapidly so that the heart began to appear alive.

No, it really did come alive.

Even though it was just a disembodied wooden heart, it was suddenly beating, which could be felt by Aldric who was holding it.

The beating of the heart became faster over time so that its sound could be heard.

"This!" The Dead Fish and the Demon Horse were dumbfounded, amazed by the change.

As the light on the heart shone brighter, it began to float into the air.

To their surprise, the light began to form a human-like figure.

Of course, at this moment, the heart no longer looked like wood.

It began to become flesh, like a normal heart.

As the process continued, there appeared to be countless blood vessels appearing within the figure of light.

They were really blood vessels, not an illusion.

Then they were connected to the blood vessels of the heart.

'Damn, is this human?' Aldric wondered.

If it was human, he couldn't help but worry. What if it had great strength and attacked him?

There was a desire to leave right now, but he also couldn't help but be curious.

However, after he waited, the figure only went as far as having blood vessels. There was no further development, the rest was still just light. S~eaʀᴄh the ηovelFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

DING!

(You found an SS Class Artifact, True Clone, an artifact that can create a new body for you with the exact same strength as your original body and will become stronger following your original body. This clone fully possesses your consciousness, just like your limbs are separate from you with complete control over you. If you use this clone, just drop your blood on it!)

The artifact activates and seeing it finally makes Aldric get a notification from the system.

The same thing probably happened to the Demon Horse and the Dead Fish.

Their eyes widened and trembled. Even their hands seemed to want to move to grab the clone.

And this was truly an SS Grade Artifact.

Although the SS Class was not the highest as there was still the SSS Class, it was still something that was almost impossible to find.

They had found an S Class Artifact, it was already a stroke of luck that they could hardly believe.

In fact, they almost killed each other over it.

Fortunately they were friends in the real world so they agreed to keep it together.

If only what they found was an SS Class Artifact, they might really kill each other.

Although this one was found by them, they unfortunately failed to activate it.

Of course, even now, they gained a strong desire to steal it for themselves.

Unfortunately, standing in front of that artifact was a man who could easily defeat them.

Actually, Aldric didn't seem to be thinking. He pricked his finger with his fingernail, releasing a drop of blood which he immediately dropped onto the clone.

He was wary of the two men who had been robbers for a long time. Of course, he could not stay still for too long. If one of them first dropped blood onto the clone, then it could be said to be robbed from him.

Buzz!

His blood suddenly enlarged as it fell onto the clone, spread throughout his figure, then began to become flesh from the heart to the head and to the lower half of the body.

At this moment, he finally felt a very clear connection between him and the figure.

As he continued to stare at the figure, he realized that its body was beginning to seem like his own.

He randomly took out a cloak from his Storage Artifact, directly covering the figure as it would soon become a complete body.

If there was only him here, it wouldn't matter if it wasn't covered with anything, but there were two other men. He naturally did not want them to see.

Not long after, the figure finally chose a face and hair, complete with eyes and nose and teeth.

Without a doubt, the face was exactly the same as his.

To his even greater surprise, he didn't just see the clone figure.

He even saw his own figure with the clone's eyes.

Instantly, he was made unable to tell which one was his real self.

When the clone was fully formed, he actually felt the power that was exactly the same as the power in his original body.

Everything that happened only made him wonder more.

How could there be two bodies and he master both of these bodies simultaneously as if they were one.

The problem was that he did not feel the slightest difficulty controlling these two bodies.

Even if this was just a game world, how could technology make someone experience something like this?

"Hmm..."

Aldric had not fully observed his clone. He was distracted by something that suddenly came from the direction of the city.

There was a beam of light that flew very quickly towards their location.

"No, it's the city lord's spear, he managed to track our location and headed here." The Dead Fish instantly panicked.

"Boss, we need to escape. The city lord is a Senior Magician. He's too powerful," added the Demon Horse.

"Where are we going to escape to?" Aldric questioned their words because it didn't make sense.

The problem was that the spear was too fast.

They could run a few meters but the spear would arrive at their location.

As it got closer, it became clear that it really was a spear.

It was a spear that seemed to be made of a mixture of gold and silver, two meters long with a very sharp tip.

What was even more surprising was that the spear carried a male figure behind it.

He was a middle-aged man with a long beard.

Just by holding the tail of the spear, he was carried along with it.

BANG!

The spear finally landed not far from Aldric and the others, shaking the ground.

A Senior Magician, Aldric finally realized how powerful someone of that level could be.

He could actually come to this location from the city in a very short time.

Perhaps this was because he relied on that spear, but the spear could move that fast also because of the power of his throw.

'Is tonight going to be a very busy time for me?' Aldric wondered.

He had something he wanted to do, but distraction after distraction kept appearing.
