The Copy Mage

Chapter 74: Heroes

Damian and Milo hungrily absorbed energy into their bodies, after expending large amounts of energy to battle against the intelligent monkey beast.

After 2 hours both of them had recovered most of their energy and healed their wounds slightly, and knowing they didn't have much time to finish their mission, they decided they should prepare to leave as soon as they could.

"It should be fine for us to return to the boar beast, as the monkey beast seemed to not have any malicious intentions towards us, and we need to get some evidence that we have completed the mission. We could also sell the body for some money" stated Damian.

Milo lazily wanted to refute Damian's idea, but after hearing that they could earn money from the beast's body, he was completely for what Damian had suggested.

The duo had both shown their strength and loyalty towards each other, so no longer worried about trust or the other betraying them, as they both left the house that they were hiding in, towards the large body of the boar beast.

"Damian how much do you think we can get for it" asked Milo excitedly as he returned to his usual annoying nature.

"I'm not sure, but such a large boar beast has a lot of beast meat and also has tough fur that could be used to make clothing" answered Damian.

Milo jumped up in excitement as he began thinking about all the things he could buy with money, especially food and women that he wanted the most.

Despite his young age, in the world of cultivation, that Damian had transmigrated into, the energy in the atmosphere allowed children to grow much quicker and by the age of 12 to 16, most children had grown to their peak size and were recognised as adults.

"Milo how strong are you," asked Damian competitively, curious to find out how strong he was after seeing his strength, and not getting the opportunity to receive an answer previously.

"Hmmm, well I can display the strength of a rank 3 beast for a short period of time, and the strength of a rank 2 beast for a longer period than that" answered Milo thoughtfully.

"But I currently have only the boar beast bloodline and am only a rank 2 Internal Cultivator. If I want to be able to use other beast bloodlines, I will need to cultivate and understand them before I can use them, and I also need to acquire them" added Milo nonchalantly.

Hearing his strength, that Milo seemed to believe was low and ordinary, Damian was shocked.

Damian was happy for his friend, but also wanted to catch up and surpass his friend, just because of his competitive nature.

[He is currently stronger than me and just like me, he has only acquired one ability up until this point. We are on a similar level and have similar abilities, so the thing that will dictate the difference between us, is how hard we work] stated Damian to himself determinedly.

"From here on out we are brothers and rivals and we will have a friendly competition to see who will be the strongest" declared Damian as he placed out his hand.

Milo remembering his carer's death wish and his own desire to live a prosperous life, suddenly showed drive and seriousness that Damian didn't often see Milo display.

"Yes, and I will be the one to come out on top" stated Milo as he shook his hand.

But the serious Milo only stayed for a few seconds, and soon after, he returned to his annoying and jestful nature.

"How are we splitting the money of the boar beast. I personally think I should get 90%" joked Milo.

"Hell no, I am getting 90%" refuted Damian as he began running towards where the body of the boar beast was.

"Hey, wait up" called out Milo as he ran after him.

The two youths raced towards the boar beasts body, reinforcing their bodies with their Internal Energy, without using their abilities, and after reaching the area they fought in, they both activated their abilities.

"Move away from our body" roared Milo, scaring all the small beasts feeding on the beasts body, that were attracted by the smell of blood.

Milo and Damian charged towards the boar beast with their auras released and scared off all the beasts that had only eaten small amounts of the boar beast's body.

"If we took any longer, they may have taken the body" stated Damian, noticing that the beasts had only just arrived.

Both of them didn't deactivate their abilities and reinforced their bodies, making them equivalent to a rank 2 External Cultivator.

Both of them, even while reinforcing their bodies, felt that the beast body, that weighed around 300 kg, was heavy and was multiple times both of their weight.

But with their bodies that were more than 3 times stronger than the original, while being reinforced by their energy, they were able to lift it together and began carrying it towards the village.

"Damian what are you going to buy with your split of the money," asked Milo.

Damian didn't answer straight away and wasn't sure himself.

"I don't really know. Something that will help me improve my strength" answered Damian after pondering about what he wanted.

The two youths after carrying the large heavy body of the beast stopped at the centre of the village, to take a break and catch their breath, then continued carrying the beast towards the opposite edge of the village, where the carriage was most likely to be.

It took them 15 minutes to reach the other side of the village, while carrying the heavy carcass of the boar beast.

At the edge of the village that was furthest away from the forest and where the battle took place, they saw all the villagers, and luckily their carriage as well, who were hiding from the battle.

Initially, the villagers were scared after seeing the large beast heading towards them in the distance, but when it got closer, they saw two young boys carrying the body that was multiple times bigger than them.

"They are so strong"

"What talented young cultivators"

"They are incredible"

The entire village was shocked by Damian and Milo's display of strength and saw them as their village heroes as they began to sing their praises to the approaching Milo and Damian.
