Chapter 138 [Bonus ]Stealing Opportunity



[Author Note: Hello Author here.

I'm gonna cut the chase and will go straight to the point. Many people are dissatisfied with some things.

For example, they are saying Emma and Kaya will be in harem. So let me clarify again they won't be in harem.

Another is I'm editing past chapters. I am around chapter 60 or 70 I guess. So you have to wait for a few days till I edit all the chapters. Don't worry my editing speed is fast, it will be done in 3-4 days.

Oh one more thing, if you are reading from pirated sites, you are free to come on original website and ask something to me. Don't keep whining there. I don't read comments there or anything.] CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m

Fruitful Encounters.

It's a magical thing that only depends on luck.

In many novels, the main characters are dubbed as 'children of heaven'. It's because wherever they go, they gain somthing good.

These fruitful encounters includes many things. For example, elixirs, rare material, powerful skill manuals or equipments.

But isn't there something more good?

What if you encounter some bigshot and gain their favour?

The opportunity that Rain wanted to steal was favour from Veronica.

In the original plot, Ken fought alongside Casper against the beholder - [summoned by Elder Burion]. He also dealt final blow to that creature.

When he reported this matter to Kevin. He was able to meet Veronica.

That was supposed be his first meeting with her.

However...

Rain changed everything. His actions lead to different consequences than the original plot.

That's how Rain stole the opportunity from the Ken.

***

Rain couldn't help but smirk as he remembered the challenge he had issued to Casper.

"Why are you smirking, boy?" Casper tilted his head and asked, even though Rain's lower face was hidden beneath the mask. Casper could guess his facial expression with his high perception.

Rain's smirk turned into a grin as he looked up at Casper. "I'm just excited by the thought of sparring with you," he replied, his heart racing with anticipation.

"I was really surprised when you said you wanted to spar with me," Casper chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners.

As he closed in on Casper, he unsheathed the dagger he had hidden in his coat and slashed Casper's throat.

But then he heard a voice from behind.

Casper clapped, watching his clone disappear into thin air. "Oh, it was fun," he said, standing beside Rain.

"You are very good." He gave Rain a thumbs up and smiled.

Rain felt a surge of absurdity, but he didn't let it show.

"Looks like it won't be an easy fight," Rain mumbled.

He strengthened his body with mana and launched himself at Casper again.

As he closed in on his opponent, Rain executed a swift feint to the left, causing Casper to momentarily lose his footing.

Seizing the opportunity, Rain launched a series of rapid punches at Casper's midsection, but to his surprise, his blows passed harmlessly through his opponent's body.

"Again a clone? Or was it illusion?" Rain wondered.

At that moment, he noticed dozens of Casper clones appearing around him, each one poised for attack.

Without missing a beat, Rain leapt backwards, landing in a crouch as he scanned the area for his real opponent.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of movement out of the corner of his eye, and with lightning-fast reflexes, he spun around and unleashed a flurry of kicks at the nearest clone.

His blows landed with satisfying thuds, and the clone dissipated in a cloud of smoke. He kept using "Sowrd of Recognition".

Determined not to let Casper get the better of him, Rain continued to dart around the combat zone, attacking each clone with precision and force.

Still he was cautious while dealing with the clones.

It's because they were just 1% of Casper's full strength. He might get exhausted if he used his full energy.

While fighting, he kept trying to locate the real Casper body. But Casper kept teleporting to another place by [Shadow Slip].

"Although I'm impressed by your fighting skills, I'm not going to go easy on you," Casper said as he watched Rain's movements with a mixture of admiration and apprehension.

"The world is too bright for me. Only these dark shadows are comfortable for me," Casper chanted, his voice low and menacing. "[Domain Unveil]."

As he said this, a surge of mana was released from his body, and the air around him grew thick and heavy.

Suddenly, the whole combat area became dark, and Rain found himself plunged into a world of shadows.

His vision was obscured, and the air was thick with an oppressive weight that made it hard to move.

Rain's heart pounded as he struggled to find his bearings.

He could barely make out the shapes of the Casper clones moving around him, each one seemingly more menacing than the last.

With his senses dulled and his movements hampered, he knew that he was facing his toughest challenge yet.

"Looks like I have to reveal my cards." Rain chuckled.
