My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly! novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103: Eryke’s Statue!?

Green blood splashed out.

The stabbed, green-skinned man turned in disbelief to look at his companion. He reached out to fight back, but his head was swiftly severed. It hit the ground with a sickening thud, blood spurting from his mouth. Even then, he managed to speak:

"Master won’t let you go."

"Hehe, master..." The other green-skinned man grinned as green blood splattered across him. "I’ll let you meet your master soon enough."

As the lifeless body fell to the ground, the remaining three were already on high alert. They stared at him intently until one of them spoke in a cold voice:

"Who are you, Green Number 47?"

"Oh, I am Green Number 47, though," he muttered calmly. His appearance was identical to theirs, yet even when facing the three who should have matched him in strength, he wore only a confident grin.

"You—"

Before the speaker could finish, the other two charged forward, aiming to tackle Number 47. The one who had spoken unsheathed the only sword among them and slashed at him in unison. _{freewebnøvel.com}

Number 47 sneered.

A black haze gathered before his hand, twisting and solidifying into the shape of a sword.

His arm moved.

The blade swung in a blur.

Swish!

The only sound was that of air being torn apart. And in the next moment, they looked...

The three were cleanly sliced in two, their bodies hitting the ground with a sickening thud, blood splattering like a fountain.

"Fools," Number 47 muttered, then collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.

From his fallen body, a shadowy figure emerged.

It turned and looked toward the little girl.

"Are you alright?" the figure asked gently.

"Hmm..." The little girl, still trembling, stopped just short of crying. Surprise flickered in her eyes, but she nodded, a small smile forming on her lips.

"Thank you, big brother."

"You don’t seem scared?"

"Big brother, I... I’ve seen things far more terrifying in... in that place..." Her voice shook. She stuttered and struggled to speak, the fear still lingering in every breath.

"Little girl," the black shadow in human form spoke, "are you saying I’m terrifying, but not terrifying enough compared to them?"

"Eh, no, no!" she hurriedly shook her head. "That’s not what I meant!"

"Then what did you mean?"

"Umm..." The little girl fidgeted, suddenly nervous.

"Haha, I’m just teasing you." The shadow chuckled. It reached out to flick her forehead, but its hand passed right through her. "So, what’s your name?"

"It’s Hak Soo."

"Hak Soo, huh?" The shadow nodded thoughtfully, then said, "Follow me."

"Yes."

Hak Soo agreed without hesitation and quickly followed behind.

He was her only way out. The creature before her was the only one she could rely on to escape this godforsaken place. She knew the Master might find her again and she was painfully aware of her own helplessness.

As they traveled, Hak Soo kept her eyes open, alert. Though still a child, she was clever. She wanted to be sure she hadn’t simply fled the wolf’s den only to end up in the tiger’s lair.

Eventually, they arrived at an open clearing and immediately, the sound of a man humming reached her ears.

Her eyes widened, glossing over with a dazed shimmer. She froze for a moment, stunned.

A man lay in the center of the clearing. He had long golden hair and eyes of boundless blue, eyes that seemed to hold the wisdom of countless ages.
