Chapter 241 - 241: Clones & Idiot
Even though this technique was a bit difficult to be used, the most tiring, and challenging part was taken care of from his System, so in about half an hour he had three clones in front of him.
One of them was an identical copy of himself. Even their eyes, hair, bodies, and even the monster in between their legs were the same.
It was truly amazing to look at it, he felt like he was trying to look at himself in the mirror, that clone in front of him was just a mirror image of himself.
Without losing time, he immediately tried to control the puppet through his Soul Avatar, and he found out that it felt exactly like his body.
There was no difference between his current body, and the one he was controlling, well besides the difference in strength that was.
The body he was in now was level 1, and it was no different from a normal mortal human who had no idea of cultivation or supernatural in this world.
So were the other two, but they had a few differences from his clone, as these two were the clones of the idiot Young Master and that bomber guy.
Eric didn't have a perfect grasp of their full bodies, but he did have a sharp eye about their faces and their general features.
As long as they didn't meet anyone who knew them personally, nobody would be able to make the difference between them and the real ones.
This technique was really bendy and awesome, it would surely help him a lot in the future, so he started to check upon its probable restrictions.
Firstly, he found out that the area of his control over the puppet was only in the area that his spirit sense spread.
Any more than that he would have to either plant a soul into it or the puppet would move around aimlessly.
Furthermore, he could only control one puppet personally, or his body, never both. His Spirit Power was insufficient about it.
If he wanted to control more he not only had to increase his Spirit Power, but he also had to learn how to divide his Soul Avatar.
As soon as he learned about it, he immediately was directed to the most reliable library, and shop he could think of, as he opened his System's shop interface.
As he was searching about techniques that could help him do both, he found quite a few, but even the cheapest one was 500.000SP points, while the most expensive was 51 Million SP points.
Now that was a crazy amount! Right now, he was lucky to have something over 10.000, 51 million was a complete unreachable amount for him at the moment.
It was a no-brainer that the 51 Million SP technique was the best, and he didn't want to take a risk with that, as it would be very important to him in the future.
So, he had to buy that technique no matter what. But 51 Million was most certainly a huge ass amount of SP points that he didn't even think he would be able to make it.
His only consolation about the technique could be the fact that it was divided into 5 parts, as each part had its own price.
1 Million for the first, 2 Million for the second, 3 Million for the third, 5 Million for the fourth, and 40 Million for the fifth.
Damn, it was going to be a difficult amount to reach, not to mention that he also needed to think about the teleportation channels and other things he might need on the way.
It was only now that he understood the importance of the missions and the deeper connection between him and the Legacy System.
Yet he had no intention whatsoever to change his decision on the matter. Humans were dubious creatures, they would never accept something easily.
Normally that doubt would be blinded by greed, but to someone who had been betrayed by his closest kin, those doubts were on high alert as an open wound.
With these thoughts out of his head, he just looked once again at the clones in front of him, and then immediately dressed them up.
The clones could act normally on their own when they were in his close surroundings. It was only when he wanted to personally control them, that he could control only one of them.
Something else that made him quite happy in the meantime about the clones was the fact that they would show up in his interface, and he could remodel their levels using his own.
For example, if he wanted to have the idiot Young Master clone at level 16, he would be able to do it easily, as long as he gave him 16 levels worth of experience from his own.
At that time his levels would fall with the same amount of the experience that he had given to the clone, but he could take it anytime he wanted.
The only thing that was left in his mind was what would happen when one of the clones died or was killed, but he guessed that it would just return to his body, together with the memories of the clone.
Still, that was just his hypothesis, he couldn't prove it at the moment. With the clones ready, he immediately left the deserted alley and went chasing his first victim, the idiotic Young Master.
In that half an hour the fire around the car had been put off, and there were already the results coming out, where his death wasn't confirmed.
Just like he had thought that had thrown the idiot in panic, as he had immediately left the place, and was now cursing, and screaming in an empty alley 3 kilometers to the south.
He was cursing at the useless bomber for not being able to kill Eric, even after all that bragging, and mysterious playing act.
But more importantly, he was cursing, and screaming at Eric for having such a piece of good luck. Why hadn't that motherfu*cker died in that explosion?
Hearing and looking at him Eric felt kind of sorry for him, this guy was truly an idiot. Not only was he completely clueless of who he had just tried to kill, but he also expected him to go meet death by himself.
If this guy wasn't an idiot, then he didn't know what to call him else. Still, this was the perfect moment for him to enter the scene.
With that thought, he took control of the bombers clone, and slowly entered the alley. In order to not make the idiot suspect a thing, he had given him enough experience, to be level 9.
Without undergoing Body Tempering, not even the clones would be able to pass through the cap of each 10 levels.
So that was the best he could do with them at the moment, even though it was lacking he still did it in order to increase its surviving chances in case of a clash with the idiot.
Despite being an idiot that guy was still a level 13 fighter, and not some ordinary guy. He would crush his clone with one punch if he wanted to, so he needed to give him enough power to resist a punch at least.
He walked towards the idiot with complete calmness, like he was walking through a park, as he stood around 10 feet away from him.
That was a perfect safe distance for him to protect himself if anything happened, as he waited for the idiot to pick up on his presence.
The moment the idiot felt someone else's presence he immediately turned around frightened but seeing who was behind him, he got even angrier as he started screaming.
"You assured me he would be dead! How the fu*ck did he escape then!?"
The clone that Eric was controlling still had its natural and calm expression, as he said,
"I don't know how the fu*ck did he escape the explosion, but one thing is for sure, I won't miss the next time."
"Next time!? Do you think you will live for the next time!? The Takeshiba family will not let this matter rest until they have killed both of us!"
"What are you talking about, don't you know who is behind me!? What can the Takeshiba family do to me? Just some local snakes, nothing more."
Eric's words made the idiotic Young Master lose it even more, as he started laughing like an idiot, and said,
"You think you are untouchable just because you belong to the Viper's Venom organization!? You guys might be an international organization but here in Japan, you are nothing in front of the Takeshiba.
The Chinese have a saying, even a local snake can take down a dragon in his own territory! So, you better watch your back, if you don't want to die without understanding how!"
"Oh!? Do you think the Takeshiba's have enough power to mess with us kid? Then why did you agree with our plan?"
"The Takeshiba's are much more powerful than you think, my father has to lower himself like a slave in front of them because he fears them that much.
My father would never do that if he doesn't know something, I can assure you of that. As for why I accepted your plan, it was my own foolishness.
I was too angry at him for humiliating me, and thought I would score a chance to be with Takeshiba Tomiyasu's daughter, even though as a puppet for him!"
Hearing him speak like that, Eric understood that he had struck gold, this guy had just told him everything, without even looking properly at him.
Furthermore, he wasn't as stupid as he looked, he had a few grams of brain in his skull, which made him think of a good solution to the situation…
