My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly! novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Under my sword, all things are equal!

The little dragon cried out, tears welling in its eyes. It leapt from Eryke’s shoulder and flew toward the gaping wound in Ignis.

It licked the golden injuries, as if trying to heal them.

But nothing changed.

The wounds could not be healed.

Ignis’s tired pupils lingered on his little princess, then on Eryke, for one final time.

"You’d better protect my baby, Eryke."

With those words, he slowly closed his eyes, surrendering to a peaceful rest.

Eryke remained silent and expressionless.

Not a flicker of emotion crossed his face.

But who could say what storm brewed within?

At that very moment, the final shape of something formed in his mind:

A massive, simple black sword made of haze, its sharp edge gleaming in his mind.

Even a mere glance at it radiated a terrifying sharpness.

Eryke slowly opened his eyes, gazing at the lifeless body of Ignis and the little dragon still crying beside it.

He closed his eyes again, trying to calm the storm of emotions within.

Then, turning toward Eryke the Third, he asked:

"Are you ready?"

"Yeah." Eryke the Third nodded firmly.

Together, they walked out from within the corpse of Ignis and came face-to-face with the Leviathan.

"Human," the Leviathan said, its massive head tilting, slitted pupil narrowing as it studied Eryke. "I see... whatever you were trying to do seems to have succeeded."

"Succeeded?"

Eryke tightened his fist, his face unreadable. "Who knows?"

"Haha, I must commend you, human, for having the courage to stand before me. But no matter what you’ve done, I refuse to believe you’ve gained enough power to defeat me so easily."

As the Leviathan spoke, it vanished from its spot, its figure becoming a blur.

By the time Eryke blinked, the humanoid Leviathan was already in front of him, its tail thrusting straight for his heart.

A chill ran down Eryke’s spine.

He reacted instantly, channeling his Aura to materialize a sword and slashing forward with all his strength.

Bang!

Their attacks collided with a metallic clang, shockwaves rippling outward.

Both were forced back in a single motion.

"Hmm?" The Leviathan frowned.

"Human, how did you gain such strength out of nowhere?"

Eryke said nothing, his grip tightening around the black Aura sword.

Instead of answering, he calmly closed his eyes.

The Leviathan roared in fury. "How dare you? You close your eyes before me? Do you think I’m nothing?!"

It shot forward in a blur, its tail whipping toward Eryke like a bolt of wrath.

But Eryke was ready.

Without opening his eyes, he swung his sword, intercepting the strike with precision.

Steel met scale, shock rippling through the air.

Again and again, the Leviathan attacked, its tail lashing faster, harder, each blow heavier than the last.

But Eryke, calm and unshaken, met each strike with flawless counters.

Not once did his blade falter.

Not once did his expression change.

When the Leviathan’s tail came for his head, Eryke shifted his posture ever so slightly, just enough.

With perfect timing, he swung his sword, redirecting the force with fluid precision.

The Leviathan moved to counter, but before it could react, Eryke’s blade was already at its throat.

With no choice, the Leviathan retreated, a flicker of helplessness in its eyes.

"Die."

It pointed its hand forward, and a searing burst of heat shootout at terrifying speed.

But Eryke was faster.

The Leviathan roared in madness and pain, its slitted pupils flashing with something it hadn’t shown before—fear. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}
