The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 80: Duplication Skill Scroll
Chapter 80: Duplication Skill Scroll
"You yourself can decide on what you want to do with him. Since he has already provoked our territory, then he can be considered as our enemy." Olivia replied indifferently.
The moment that she said those words, the hopes that were within Lucas’s heart were completely shattered. After all, previously, he had thought that even though she was saying she didn’t want to marry him, at least, she didn’t hate him.
But now, looking at the indifferent look within Olivia’s eyes as she said those words, Lucas knew that all of this had been an illusion. He was the only one who had been loving her, but there was not even a single shred of love from her.
Just like before, just like her cold personality, she didn’t care about him. And perhaps had it not been for the fact that the two of them had been engaged, then she might not have paid any attention to him.
Additionally, Lucas finally began understanding the reason as to why Olivia never cared the moment he said he would guarantee her safety and protection. After all, if she was actually in the group of people that were stronger than him, then what was the need for her to jump ships and go to another person that was way weaker?
Henry had already been expecting a response along the lines. So, he looked at Adam and said, "Do what needs to be done. I can feel the anger within you."
Adam nodded his head. Currently, had it not been for the fact that Henry was standing between him and Lucas, he would have already attacked him, and used his axe to chop him into pieces.
But still, in front of Henry, he was completely restrained. Even though he was not happy that he was not the one who had dealt with Lucas from the start, he also understood that time was not on their side.
It was already getting late, and they didn’t know how the zombies were going to behave during the night. So, it will be better if Olivia and Sarah went out, and came back before night fell.
Taking steps towards Lucas, Adam said in a heavy voice, "Had you just focused on improving, perhaps you might actually have had a chance of fighting me on equal terms. Or maybe, have you come over without any evil intent, perhaps you might have been recruited into our territory."
"But of course, you ruined everything yourself the moment that you proclaimed yourself as the strongest person, already stating that you are not going to agree to be underneath anyone."
"The worst mistake that you have committed at this moment is trying to kill me. Previously, I had thought that perhaps, if I defeat you, you might be convinced and might agree to join our territory. But, since you have the evil intent, then don’t blame us."
"Just getting arrogant simply because you were the first person to reach the Bronze rank. But, you are forgetting something. My brother Henry is actually an SSS rank mutant warrior. You with your puny whatever grade of your profession is, cannot compete with him."
"Anyway, let me not continue wasting my breath on this. After all, all the advice that I’m giving you is completely useless considering that you are going to be dead soon." After Adam said those words, he swung his axe.
Crunch!
Under Lucas’s fearful gaze, one of his legs was chopped. The bones of the leg was not capable of withstanding the sharpness of the three star battle axe.
Aaah!
Lucas immediately began screaming. It was not due to the pain that he was experiencing, but simply because he was actually crippled. Had this happened before he had taken the potion, then he would not have cared.
But now, things were completely different. In the apocalypse, it was way better to lose an arm than a leg. At the end of the day, even if they could not defeat an opponent, they could utilize the legs to run away.
But it was completely different since he was now a cripple. The loss of the leg was going to completely hinder his movements, in that, currently, he could actually be killed by even a low level creature.
Adam was not done. Instead, he swung his axe three times again. However, he ensured that no matter how hard he swung his axe, he did not actually cut off the limbs completely.
At this point, Lucas was not only experiencing immense pain, but also despair. At the same time, he completely hated Adam, and more so Henry who had taken him down, and allowed Adam to do all this to him.
And of course, the love that he previously had for Olivia had also melted. Instead, tremendous hatred had replaced it. If he was given a chance this time, he was definitely going to kill Olivia first.
In his mind, Olivia actually had the chance to save him, but instead, she completely ignored him. Even though it was true that she was not the one who had said that she wanted him dead, it was also true that she had actually left him in the hands of his enemies.
That was no different from sentencing him to death. For that reason, Lucas had already began thinking of a measure that he was going to use in case he was capable of getting out of here alive.
’Perhaps I might be lucky enough to encounter yet another chance. If I get another potion of the same level, I might actually get back onto my feet.’ Lucas began thinking in his mind.
’If I am lucky enough to get it, I will definitely...’
Lucas was not able to finish what he was thinking about because at that point, his head had already been separated from his body. As for what Adam had said during this time, Lucas had not heard anything about it.
Adam was just as cruel as he could be to those that were considered his enemies. Just like the staff members that were in charge of the security in the facility, and those that were the investors, he was going to kill them without mercy.
And since Lucas was the one who had initiated the intention to kill, then, Adam had decided to grant him the most painful death possible.
It was only after he had done this that finally, the red aura that was surrounding his body began vanishing. At the same time, the anger that was within his heart began dissipating.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave after giving Lucas’s body last glance, suddenly, there was a bright shining light that appeared next to Lucas.
Initially, Adam had thought that perhaps this was yet another trick that Lucas was playing, and for that reason, he had prepared himself to attack again.
But when he suddenly realized that when the light disappeared there was actually an item that had dropped onto the ground, he was surprised.
This was actually the first time that he had seen a scroll that dropped after they had killed a human being.
With cautiousness in his eyes, Adams scrutinized the scroll on the ground, before finally picking it up. The moment that he held it in his hands, a prompt appeared in front of him.
[Duplication: Unranked; The user is able to duplicate himself and the items that they are currently carrying on their bodies. The amount of combat capabilities of the duplicate of the user will be the same as that of the original. The number of times that a person can duplicate themselves depends on the amount of energy that is contained in their bodies.
The other duplicates only lasts for 30 minutes. In case the limit of the duplicates is reached, the next duplicate will possess less than 25% of the originals combat capabilities and it only lasts for 2 minutes.
The main duplicate can be changed at will between all the duplicates present. Cool down period; 3 days. ]
Adam was surprised by the lengthy description of the skill. There was yet another thing that he could not understand, that was the fact that, this skill was actually gradeless.
This was the first time that he was actually encountering something like this. All the skills that he currently possessed were currently at three stars.
Even though he was confused, he still went to Henry’s side and handed him the scroll.
Henry was also surprised that there was actually something that had dropped after they killed another human. Still, he went ahead and looked at the details of the scroll.
He was surprised to find out that this was actually the exact skill that Lucas had used during the fight with Adam. This was an incredible skill.
Henry thought about it and looked at Adam and asked, "Do you want it? You have already reached the Bronze rank, and the limit of the skills that you can learn has increased."
"Forget it. Even though it is true that I would really want to get this skill, it can only show its prowess in the hands of a person like you. If there is actually two of you, I doubt that there would be anyone that would be able to deal with our territory." Adam shook his head as he replied. Still, he was actually focusing his gaze on the scroll in Henry’s hand. freёnovelkiss.com
Adam knew that during this time, had Henry decided to deal with Lucas, that was something that he could have done within an instant. But, he had given him a chance to prove himself. But still, had it not been for the reminder that Henry gave him, then perhaps he might have already gone to the underworld.
And, what he said was actually the truth about what he was thinking. Perhaps if there could have been two skills scrolls of the same type, he would have accepted it. But, currently, Henry was the one that was best suited to take the skill scroll.
"Okay. I will be learning the skill later after Olivia and Sarah have gone out." Henry responded. He then turned around, and began heading towards the invisible barrier around the territory.
"What are we supposed to do with them?" Just before Henry could enter the territory, Olivia’s voice made him stop.
He looked towards the direction that Olivia was pointing in, and was perplexed to see that there was actually a group of people that was standing there lifelessly.
Henry: "???!"
