SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Chapter 3: Gate of Inheritance

ROOOOAR! The crocodile is furious that an insect was able to escape from it. It started gathering water elements in its mouth.

"Bad!" thought Edgar. He moves toward large trees that could block the attack of the crocodile.

WATER BOMB

BOOM! Edgar hid behind a large tree and avoided the attack, but trees with a width of humans waists are easily destroyed.

"Damn! If I am hit by that water bomb, I will be blown into pieces!" Edgar sweats just by imagining it.

The crocodile is angry that it did not destroy the insect. Its eyes turned red, it wants to attack with more powerful magic. Threads of water element are gathering in its mouth, a blue energy ball is forming.

ROAAAAR! The crocodile is startled. It hesitated, but it eventually dispersed the energy ball, then quickly turned to leave. The sound was a warning from a more powerful beast to leave its territory.

"It finally left." Edgar feels relieved. For the first time, he feels lucky that he is not a hyperbeing, so he cannot be detected by the powerful beast that scared the crocodile since he has no magical power. He only has a more powerful physique than ordinary people. The wolf and crocodile attacked him because they saw him from a short distance.

"I must erase my odor first," Edgar said, taking out a spray from his pouch. He was not able to keep his sword in the river, but he tried his best to keep his pouch because the inside of it is very necessary for his survival. If his odor is erased, then he is invisible to the beast if they can't see him from a short distance.

Edgar climbed a tall tree and started resting. A few hours after resting, he starts thinking about how to get out of the inner zone.

"Should I look for guild members and ask for their help? Will they be willing to help an ordinary human like me? If I am a hyperbeing with great potential, then they might be willing to help me. They might even turn me into bait while they hunt for the beast. Wait, if the beast cannot detect me, then so do hyperbeings! I don't have magic, so they can't sense me. I can sneak beneath their armored vehicles at night! Hahaha!" Edgar is happy that he has a higher chance of living now because of his idea.

"From what I read, it is quite far from here where they park their armored cars because there is no road for vehicles in the deeper area of the inner zone. I need to plan how to reach that place." Edgar frowns while thinking of the information he has on places that he must travel before reaching his destination.

BOOOOM! Edgar is shocked by the sudden, loud explosion, which is followed by an earthquake.

ROOOAARR! ROWWWR! Edgar hears a mixture of roars from beasts. Read lat𝙚st chapters at nov(𝒆)lbin.com Only

"Explosion, earthquake, mixture of roars. It's Beast Horde! World's Burst!" thought Edgar.

A world's burst happens when the broken world is not cleared on time. All the beasts inside will appear on Earth. Beasts are graded from Tier 0 to Tier 3. Tier 0 don't have magical abilities, but they are still a lot stronger than ordinary humans.

Edgar is sweating. He is very nervous that those mighty beasts might move toward him. He climbs to the top of the tree and uses his small telescope to observe those beasts. Thankfully, they aren't moving to his location since it is near the territory of water-based beasts.

Edgar observes the source of the world's burst, and his heart is quickly beating. His whole body is trembling with excitement.

"Palace of God! The world's burst caused a fissure in the space, and a small opening in a nearby broken world appears! It is a small opening, but I can do it! I have been waiting for this chance for a long time!" said Edgar, then he quickly climbs down from the tree and runs toward the opening. He already planned the route where he would run. He ran where there are no beasts because they were scared by the beast horde.

ROOOOAARR!

ROOOOAARRR!

BOOOOM! BOOOM!

The king of both different species started fighting for territory. The Giant Blue Ape is the boss of the recent world's burst. The apes' enemy is a giant, dark orange triceratops.

EARTH SPIKE!

WIND BOMB!

BOOOMM! The triceratops controls the earth element, while the ape controls the wind.

Their fight causes explosions, dust, and large boulders to rain. It is very dangerous for Edgar but also a good opportunity because the dust blocks those beasts from seeing him. He is already near the opening, but it suddenly darkens. He looks at the sky, and a large boulder is going down.

"It's do or die!" When Edgar took the next step, he put all of his strength into his legs, then dove to the opening.

BOOM! When the boulder crashed, Edgar is already inside the broken world. The Palace of God is below a tall cliff. Around it are towering trees. In front of the giant white palace are one hundred-meter-tall sculptures. The sculptures are wearing armor and holding spears. Edgar walks toward the palace. He needed to jump on the stairs because of their huge size, then he went inside the palace.

A column of huge sculptures is lined up inside. After walking for a while, Edgar reached a hall. In the middle of the hall is a big blue crystal. At the end of the hall is a huge gate, fifty meters in size.

Edgar looks at the gate and is fascinated by the huge size, beautifully carved runes, and gems embedded in it. His past experiences suddenly cross his mind when he looks at the gate. He experienced many life-and-death situations for this gate. Now, he has the chance to gain power that could shake the world.

"Gate of Inheritance. Here I come."

The huge gate automatically opens, a white light spreads throughout the whole hall, and Edgar is devoured.
