SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

CLANG! The halberd's body blocked the huge aura blade, but Poison Lord was rapidly pushed back. Green energy covered his body.

DIVINE PROJECTION

A one hundred-meter-tall projection with dark green armor appeared behind Poison Lord.

He cast magic, then a fifty-meter circle appeared behind the giant projection. Huge vipers came out of the circle and destroyed the aura blade with green beams.

Edgar stared at the halberd and thought,"Is that a weapon that Death God bought for him outside our world?"

"Aura concept?! He is a demigod?!" Shouted Poison Lord in his mind. He seriously stared at the boy as he gritted his teeth and gripped his fists hard.

"He is only at third level, but he doesn't seem to be an heir. If he is an heir, he should have used a divine skill when he saw me using divine projection. Is he what they call a prodigy who could realize his concept without reaching the peak of third level?! If I escape now, will Death God protect me? Will he kill this boy for me or will he reach an agreement and offer my head? With this boy's power, he can definitely find a Palace of God and pass it with ease. When that time comes, my death is certain!" thought Poison Lord.

His past when he was younger was flashing through his mind. He had to scavenge and fight for food in the street. Sleep with rats. Kill a beast in human skin. He joined the gang and risked his life many times. He even suffered many humiliations to please his boss. Then came the smiling face of his mother, who had passed away.

The eyes of Poison Lord turned bloodshot and thought,"I still have a chance while he doesn't have the power of an heir. I'd rather die as someone revered by many people around the world than return to that humiliating situation!"

"I am Poison Lord! My daily life in the street was a life and death battle!! DO YOU THINK I WILL FEAR DEATH?! BOY! DEATH IS MY PLAYMATE!!!"

DIVINE PROJECTION: ASCENSION

The giant projection turned into green fog and moved around Poison Lord.

Edgar wanted to move, but the huge vipers attacked with energy balls and beams. Fire energy, and aura revolved around his back as he dodged.

SWORD WINGS

Many small white swords formed two wings on his back.

SCHWING! Many energy blades flew in the air and cut the vipers when Edgar spun and flew toward Poison Lord.

BANG! A giant green halberd suddenly attacked him. He blocked it with the swordheart, but he was blown away. He was whirling until he found his balance in the air.

Edgar stared at the fifty-meter-tall Poison Lord, wearing dark green armor and holding a huge halberd.

Poison lord stretched his left hand, then a fifty-meter circle appeared in the sky.

DIVINE SKILL: FATAL RAIN

Five to ten meters of green, sharp crystals were rapidly falling like rain.

Edgar kept flying and dodging. He spun and swung his sword.

Crunch! Many crystals were cut in all directions, but Poison Lord clenched his fist.

BOOM! The crystals exploded. Sharp, poisonous pieces of crystals were flying in all directions.

Meanwhile, outside of the dimension, Vistal was lying on the ground. Blood was flowing from his mouth while he was looking at the hemisphere in the distance."Tony."

The past flashed in his mind. Tony, alias Toto, stopped his suicide when he was young and saved him from his abusive father.

Tony was smoking his cigarette as they stood on a bridge and watched a river."Continue your study and work for me."

"Y-Yes boss!"

***

OVERFLOW

Golden energy covered Vistal's body, then a big slime carried him away as it formed into a huge viper.

The viper was quickly moving away as it dodged Melody's attacks and slithered between trees. It is moving toward the hemisphere.

Inside the dimension, a green fog was formed in the air.

There were huge threads of fire and aura revolving around Edgar.

"Why does this boy have so much poison resistance?! He is not even using detoxification magic or potion!" thought Poison Lord as he stared at Edgar. He cast magic, then a fifty-meter circle appeared behind him.

DIVINE SKILL

BATTLEBORN: ASTRUGGATS

Ten-meter-tall warriors with two green wings came out of the circle. They were wearing dark green armor and holding different kinds of weapons.

Poison lord increased his grip on his halberd as the astruggats moved forward.

Poison arrows, energy blades and different forms of powerful attacks were flying toward Edgar.

SCHWING! Powerful aura blades cut the astruggats in half and destroyed the attacks. A ten-meter-tall warrior with two wings and white armor was flying while holding the five-meter-long swordheart.

The green poison fog in the air suddenly turned into green vipers and tied Edgar's hands and feet."What?!"

An astruggat stabbed its spear.

Edgar was hit and pushed back, then another astrugatt swung its axe and blew him to the ground.

The fifty-meter-tall Poison Lord appeared near Edgar as he swung down his halberd."DIEEE!!!"

BOOM! The ground beneath Edgar turned into a huge crater when he blocked the giant halberd with swordheart.

POISON CHAIN

Giant chains rose from the huge circle on the ground and tied Edgar.

Poison lord raised his halberd.

Edgar flew away. He was pulled by the chains, but he cut them with aura blades.

Boom! A huge energy blade cut the hills when it missed Edgar.

Poison Lord stared at Edgar, who was floating in the air, and thought,"I have to finish this now before I run out of mana."

Poison energy flowed to his halberd, then he stabbed it to the ground. The cracks lit up like green lights, then they turned longer and wider. Poison fog of different colors flew out from the cracks and moved around Poison Lord and the halberd. There were roaring demons and monsters.

Trees touched by the fog immediately wilted and turned into dust.

Edgar moved further into the sky and pointed his sword at Poison Lord. The swordheart became ten meters long, then giant threads of fire and aura revolved. The sword was turning longer."Toto, if you kept your ambition on the island, then we might not even cross paths. You are a beast. Many of your guild members followed you as an example, so many of them are also beasts, and you unleashed them on the mainland."

Poison Lord laughed."Do you think I will reach this height if I remain on this tiny island?! Only uncultured people will willingly follow my command, so what choice do I have?! Beast?! BOY, I MUST BECOME A BEAST TO PROTECT WHAT I HAVE!!!"

Edgar chuckled."Toto, I know how your mind works. You will crush whatever is blocking your path through any means. I will also crush you, who is a tiny block on my path."

Poison Lord chuckled, then his face suddenly turned savage. "ARROGANT BASTARD!!! YOUR WHOLE FAMILY WILL FOLLOW YOU IN HELL!!!"

POISON DEATH MARCH

Poison lord flew with his lethal poison army.

Magic circles appeared on the blade of the twenty-meter sword in Edgar's hands.

SWORDHEART: PIERCING SKY
