My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly! novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Illusion!

Jin Hyuk stared in horror at the perfectly unharmed Gang Ryeong.

His composure crumbled, and his entire body began to turn translucent.

Sensing this, Gang Ryeong focused his Will, and a colossal ghoul materialized behind him.

But he held back, an immediate strike would do little good.

A first‑stage martial artist was no joke; the only reason he had killed this man before was because the opponent had let down his guard and harbored no intent to kill.

Against any other martial artist of the same level, they could have slain him before he even had the chance to summon death energy.

Now, even in this state of consciousness, Gang Ryeong wasn’t confident that he could even hurt this guy, so his only chance to come close to beating him is null.

There is no chance of him beating Jin Hyuk.

But...

Gang Ryeong used his Will; in his ethereal form of the ghoul, it looked strikingly similar, just a bigger version of him.

"This Will is special. Unlike my other Wills, without any effort on my part, this has been granted solely from my <Reaper Physique> alone. And this special ability is..."

He closed his eyes, then his ghostly form gradually started to merge with his own Will.

By the end, only one giant, human‑shaped shadow remained, but after the merge, the surroundings slowly began to distort.

At this moment, Jin Hyuk seemed to have finally recovered from his mental state. Not much time had passed until now, barely two or three breaths, however.

When Jin Hyuk looked around, he was stunned.

The sound of wails resounded throughout the area as countless creatures were tortured by shadowy figures shaped like demons.

Their screams were extremely chilling, enough to make one’s spine shiver uncontrollably from a mere glance.

Lava and magma flowed everywhere, like a scene straight out of Hell.

In fact, there was a big sign right in front saying: "Hell."

"Where am I?" Jin Hyuk muttered in confusion. After all, he was a first‑stage martial artist; although it took some time, his mentality had already fully recovered.

But now he was utterly confused, looking around at his surroundings.

It was a scene straight out of Hell, but what did it matter to him? A person of his caliber, had he not witnessed such tortures before?

Just then, however, Jin Hyuk sensed something. He turned abruptly, his pupils dilating.

"Eh?" He tilted his head upward in sheer horror.

Before him stood a giant throne made of skulls and blood, and seated upon it was the colossal form of Gang Ryeong in his human form, adorned with a bony crown around which evil spirits swirled.

Jin Hyuk’s lips trembled:

"King of Hell..."

He fell to his knees, his body twitching violently.

"Have I been fighting the King of Hell himself all this time?" he flailed on the ground, thrashing in utter disbelief.

Even though Gang Ryeong just stood on the throne without moving, his pupils staring straight ahead, Jin Hyuk’s form flickered violently, gradually becoming transparent.

After some time, Jin Hyuk finally seemed to regain his composure, and his figure stabilized significantly.

"But if he really is the king of hell, how could he be so weak?"

A newfound courage blossomed in Jin Hyuk’s heart as he stood up and looked at Gang Ryeong without fear in his eyes.

Then, he immediately froze.

Gang Ryeong’s eerie dark pupils seemed to contain a bottomless abyss, a depth with no end.

The more Jin Hyuk stared, the more terrified he became, completely frozen in place.

"Mortal, die."

Gang Ryeong’s cold voice sounded in his mind, like a death sentence that he couldn’t escape from.

Jin Hyuk felt pain emitting from every fiber of his being as he roared in pain towards the sky.

It was just a mere gaze, but he felt like his entire existence was entirely meaningless in front of this gaze.

The pain numbed Jin Hyuk’s soul, rendering him even unable to move.

That’s right, his Will could induce an illusion and hypnotic state if the targeted person looked at his own Will. Not only the eyes, but any part of the body, as long as they see his Will, they will fall right into his trap. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
