SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE

Bang! Bang! Bang! Dan saw many sound drops rapidly moving toward him.

An earth pillar lifted Dan and moved him to his left side.

Sound drops hit the bottom of the pillar, resulting in many cracks. The cracks spread and destroyed the bottom of the pillar.

The pillar started to fall, and Flute attacked Dan, who is at the top of the pillar.

Dan jumped to the ground.

Bang! The top of the pillar is destroyed.

Dan landed on the ground.

Bang! The ground cracked from his sudden acceleration.

Flute keeps attacking Dan.

Explosions appear wherever Dan passes through as sound drops keep hitting the ground, causing soil and dust to fly in the air.

Dan closed the distance between him and Flute.

Sound drops attack again.

The attack missed Dan.

The earth pillar moves him into the air. He stretched his arms then casts earth spikes. One arm is blocking the sound drops, while the other is trying to hit Flute.

SOUND WAVE

Wooosh! A sound wave brought Flute to the air.

He continues attacking Dan as he flies in the air.

Dan directed the earth pillar to follow Flute in the air as he keeps casting earth spikes.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Sound drops and earth spikes are clashing in the air.

Flute and Dan are facing each other while moving in the air.

Dan put more aura to his feet, then he accelearates toward Flute.

Sound drops move toward Dan.

Dan steps on earth, then he jumped toward Flute with a somersault.

"What an amazing aerial battle ability. No one has ever used earth magic that way. Should I copy it using sound?" thought Flute while looking at Dan, who changes direction in mid-air.

Dan steps again on earth. A huge magic circle has formed in his right hand. He is already near Flute.

Flute saw Dan above him with a huge magic circle on his hand. He struck the strings of the zither and attacked again.

SOUND IMPACT

A big, elongated energy moves toward Dan, but he is no longer there.

A second before Flute completed his attack, Dan stepped on earth and moved down. He is above Flute and their distance very close.

"Hmm?!!" Flute is astonished that Dan could moved toward him in that position.

Dan quickly thrust his right hand with a magic circle at Flute.

EARTH PILLAR

Bang! A huge earth pillar hit Flute and rapidly pushes him down.

Boom! A huge hole appears on the ground where Flute and the earth pillar crashed.

Dan steps on the body of the pillar that started falling and runs toward Flute.

The area around Flute is still full of dust, but Dan can sense that Flute is still fine. Earth gathers on his right hand, then forms a spear.

He put more aura to the spear.

Flute is covered by a sound shield. The sound shield is a half-sphere that covers Flute from all angles.

The dust cleared a little, and Dan saw Flute covered by a shield. The distortion in the air is obvious, and it blocks the flow of dust in the air. He gathered more strength in his right hand, then threw the spear clad with aura at Flute.

BEAST THROW

Shoo! It was so fast. Flute thought his shield could block the spear, but he is mistaken. The spear penetrated the shield.

Flute is shocked, but he is able to rotate his body to the right.

Rip! The cloth on his right chest and arm has a rip. His right arm is wounded and started to bleed. His compact aura was penetrated. His chest is safe, but his arm was hit.

"There is a way to win!" thought Dan as he saw that Flute was injured by his earth spear.

"I will move closer and throw a stronger spear!" Dan plans in his mind.

A magic circle formed in Dan's right hand. 

A bigger earth spear is forming. He put more aura to the spear. He is still running on the pillar, which is already close to the ground.

Flute hasn't recovered from the attack earlier. He saw that Dan is close and intending to throw a more powerful spear. He put his finger on the strings. Flute imperceptibly smiles.

"The distance is enough. I will definitely create a hole in that bastard's body!" thought Dan.

BEAST THR-

TNNNG! 

KING'S FIELD 

"Ackk!" Dan was not able to finish his attack. He is holding the spear above his head, but he is surrounded by something, and he cannot move. The air is distorted, not just near his body.

Bang! The huge earth pillar fell to the ground, but Dan is standing still.

Dan did not fall from the pillar because something in the air is holding him. The air is distorted within eighteen meters of circumference. The spear in his hand suddenly crumbles. He wants to cast magic, but it isn't working.

The king reminded them that if they encounter this situation, they should escape because it is the king's field!

"Cough, cough, the intelligence is wrong. This guy has a king's field," thought Dan. His organs are hurting. He was attacked in all directions suddenly. As long as he is in this field, he cannot cast magic, and he will be attacked in all directions!

"Your Majesty is currently fighting two peak 3rd level aura masters. I cannot let him join their fight yet. I will sacrifice my body to strengthen my beast possession. It will destroy my body, but I must keep him here for as long as I can," thought Dan, then a little girl's face suddenly crossed his mind. A scene appears where his wife is washing dishes while his daughter is doing her homework. Dan's eyes became watery. He does not cry, even if his body is in extreme pain, but he succumbs to the pain of leaving his family behind. There are tears in Dan's eyes.

"Honey, Rina, I'm sorry. Daddy will not be able to go home."
