SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 25: Edgar Unleash

In the morning, Edgar is working in his office with anticipation in his eyes. He will test the result of his training with a fight against Marco. It has been a month and a half since he started his training. After eating lunch, he rested a bit and waited for the appointed time.

He successfully executed all the rhythmic breathing and body movements of Flameworth Sacred Art a while ago. His strength rapidly increased. The medicinal bath plays an important role. He asked Marco for the formula that he planned to bring home to Earth. The materials for the medicinal bath are quite rare. Some are not even found on Earth. He will find time later to create a research team that will find alternative materials for the medicinal bath.

Edgar also asked the king about the fourth skill of the sacred art. The king gave him the key to the secret room. The secret room is beneath the throne. The lion's head on the throne can be turned clockwise, and then the throne will move and open a secret passage. Edgar went to the secret room and took a look at the secret skill. The method for training and executing the fourth skill is written on a beast skin. It was written by the founder. There are also notes from previous kings about their own experiences while training and executing the king's sword. They also have some insight on how to develop the king's field, although they never succeeded. Their insights are still useful for Edgar.

In the past month and a half, Edgar has formed runes of magic skills in his sea of consciousness. He practiced with his personal guards.

Even when he is busy because of issues in the kingdom, he always sets aside time to practice. Now he will see how far his strength has reached.

Edgar went to the yard. He is wearing red whole-body armor with a white cape.

He arrived at the yard, which he expanded for his training. For this fight, he set up a defense tower with a sound blockade to block the noise and avoid destroying the walls. His play of pretending to be an incompetent, lazy prince will be discovered if they know how powerful he became. The tower defense will not exceed the height of the wall to avoid being noticed. When he arrived in the yard, Marco is already standing there with his arms crossed. He is wearing a red robe, black pants, and black shoes.

"Hahahaha! I waited for this day for a long time! I will reward you with a smack for letting me work hard. Damn! Lobbying with nobles is a lot harder than training! You don't know how much I need to endure while attending those parties!" Marco is grinning at Edgar.

Edgar helplessly smiles at the grinning Marco.

"Activate the defense tower!" Edgar ordered the guard. Soon, the defense tower will be activated. A magic shield appears. Beautiful blue waves are waving on the surface of the shield.

"Come!" shouted Marco. He took a fist stance. Both his arms are clad in aura. He did not cover his whole body in aura. Edgar is not yet worthy of defending his whole body with aura.

Edgar draws his sword. He took a sword stance. Magic circle appears on the hilt of his sword.

Edgar releases his full-body aura and suddenly accelerates.

Bang! The ground on his right foot cracked from his powerful step. He dashes toward Marco. He swings his sword, then three fire blades are rapidly moving to Marco.

Marco swiftly avoided the first two fire blades as he moves forward. Marco laughed, then slapped the last one.

Bang! Edgar felt like his cheek was slapped by Marco. A magic circle suddenly appears beneath his feet.

Woosh! A flame pillar pushes him to the air. His sword is covered in flames.

"Uncle, I will burn your clothes! You will come out from here naked! Have a taste of my flame sword!" Edgar shouted while falling from the air toward the grinning Marco.

"Hahahaha! In your dreams, kid! You won't even touch my clothes!" Marco put a fist stance and put more aura to his right fist, then punched it to Edgar.

MARCO'S FIST: FLYING SMACK

A fist made up of aura is flying toward Edgar. Edgar added more strength to his grip, then slashes at the aura fist.

Bang! Edgar is stopped in the air, but his force is more powerful than the aura fist.

"Ahhhh" Edgar shouts, and then he put more pressure on his sword.

Wenng! The aura fist is cut, but Edgar's momentum is blocked. He started falling.

Flop! He landed on the ground and started looking for Marco. Marco disappears when his attention was on the aura fist. The area is dusty due to his fireblade attacks. He cannot sense energy yet, but his senses became stronger.

MARCO'S FIST: HEAD SMACK

Edgar jumped forward.

Boom! A hole appears on the ground where he was standing.

He rolled to the ground, then quickly stood up. He heard another sound behind him. He put more strength to his feet, then he jumped with a backflip.

Boom! Marco's punch missed again and created another big hole in the ground.

Edgar is in the air. His head is facing the ground and his left hand is stretched toward Marco's face. His left hand has orange magic circle that is ready to fire.

FIREBALL

Wooo! Wooo! Wooo! Several fireballs are rapidly fired at Marco's face at close range.

Marco laughs. He meets the rapid fireballs with his rapid punches.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Edgar landed on the ground. He jumped and rotates his body to face Marco. He took a slashing stance, then dashes to Marco. A magic circle appears on the hilt of the sword. Threads of fire element are rotating around the sword as Edgar moves toward Marco.

FLAME SWORD

He slashes his sword at Marco's body.

Bang! His sword is met with a fist clad in aura. The shockwave from the clash created a strong wind that blew away soil and dust.

The uncle and nephew stare at each other. Marco is grinning, and Edgar's face is serious. Edgar quickly pulled back his sword and made another quick slash. Marco avoided it, then he punches Edgar's head. The uncle and nephew exchanged rapid blows at a close distance, causing dust to float around them and blade marks or holes on the ground. Edgar has unleashed all the strength he is hiding from his enemies.
