My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly! novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86: Death!? Dragon’s Lair! [24 Golden Tickets]

"I have to act fast."

Eryke the Third wanted to escape immediately.

He turned and bolted.

Only to find himself surrounded by Ghouls. Wherever his eyes fell, there were only more Ghouls, like a vast, unending sea.

"Is there no way out?"

A flicker of hesitation crossed his face. He struggled to maintain his composure.

He didn’t want to die. Not like this.

"I suffered so much just to survive that death forest... even faced the Outer God and now I’m supposed to die here?"

"No."

"I refuse!"

"I won’t accept this death!"

His helpless roar echoed through the air.

Regret?

He felt none for absorbing the pearl.

"Those who seize the opportunity in front of them are the ones who win. I took that chance, how could I possibly feel regret?"

His pupils locked forward, unwavering.

"But that doesn’t mean I’m willing to accept death."

Bang!

The giant had already reached him, slamming into him with immense force. Ghouls around them were torn apart, disintegrating in waves, only for more to surge in from the void beyond.

The lightning cloaking his body began to fade, piece by piece.

Awoo!

Just then, a dog’s howl echoed, so sharp and resonant it shook the entire area.

Eryke the Third turned, his left brow twitching violently as he saw the two-headed dog barreling toward him.

"This is just adding insult to injury..."

The beast charged with brutal force, crushing the unfortunate Ghouls beneath its paws as it came straight for him.

"It’s as if the universe is conspiring to kill me."

Eryke the Third felt it might be time to give up. He had no way out of this place and he had likely offended not one, but two incomprehensibly powerful beings.

So he let go. His body collapsed to the ground.

The surrounding Ghouls were ecstatic. They howled with twisted joy, swarming him from every imaginable angle.

But the moment they touched him, they turned to ash against the flickering lightning barrier encasing his body.

Unfortunately, it wouldn’t hold much longer.

He stared blankly up at the crimson sky and opened his mouth.

"Ten."

The two-headed dog slammed its claws into the barrier and in an instant, the lightning dimmed dangerously low.

His left brows twitched even more violently, only replaced by a helpless expression:

"5"

The giant ghoul struck him hard.

"...2"

In the last of his breath, Eryke the Third felt all his memories till now. Not a lot of time had passed since he was away from the main body.

But all his memories were about death and death.

It truly felt like this.

Everything was trying to kill him, and he was completely unsafe in any place.

"Wait, why is this so?"

His pupils flickered as if coming to life.

The other clones didn’t face this terrifying condition. Although these two clones did have life-and-death scenarios, there was always a way out. But for him, he was already attacked by two beings...
