SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE-Chapter 131 Gin Codename: Shadow

Willow dropped to the ground. He is twitching and cannot move.

Raff threw away his cigarette, and he stares fiercely at Edgar. He thought Willow could handle his enemy. He did not expect that the battle would end in an instant. He activated his skill. He is confident that he can defeat Edgar. His speed and strength are better than Willow's.

Riiip! His clothes are ripped apart as his whole body swells, and then blue fur appears on his body.

He became a beastman, a blue wolf.

Raff clad his whole body with an aura.

"Boy, you made me lose a valuable partner. I will make sure to slowly rip you apart!" said Raff.

He walks toward Edgar. When he moved closer, he lowered his body and put more aura on his feet.

Raff stares at Edgar with strong bloodlust and said,"Boy! I will take your left leg first that hit Wil-"

Boom! Raff was not able to continue to talk after a red blur with flashing lightning moved. There was a white line that flashed in the air. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Raff's head is flying in the air.

Behind Raff's body is Edgar.

Edgar's body is flashing with lightning. His sword is clad with his concept.

"Wha-" Raff did not even finish his thought. He lost his consciousness forever. His head fell to the ground. The head and body reverted back to human form.

Edgar puts his sword back in his storage space, then looks at Gin.

"Do you know their background?" asked Edgar.

"No one will take revenge for them because they are freelancers. They had gained magical ability spontaneously, and they don't want to join the guild or government. They offer some shady services in exchange for magic and aura resources. I was investigating a trafficking ring. Their trafficking business was destroyed because of me," said Gin.

Edgar nods, as expected of a dragon guard member that he selected. He has been flying around Metro Manila and nearby provinces at night. He has been looking for people with a good aptitude for aura and magic. He also tested their character in the illusion.

Gin has a poor aptitude for aura and an average aptitude for magic. He has no affinity for other elements. That is probably the reason that he is not selected for cultivation in the police force. What they didn't know is that he has a good aptitude for shadow magic. He wants to cultivate him, so he tested all possible affinities.

Dragon Hall needs an intelligence source, but the Philippines is not Baynard. He is not a prince or king. He is just an average citizen of the country. It will be difficult to build an intelligence network from scratch, but there is a ready-made intelligence network for him, the CIU. He just needs someone who will give Polaris access to their network—someone who can do it with ease because of his high position—Gin, the deputy director of CIU.

Edgar looks at the corpses of the two hyperbeings, then casts magic. Lines of fire moved to the corpse, then they became a fire tornado. The fire tornado turned the corpses into ash, and Edgar cleaned them with magic.

Edgar looks at Gin, then starts talking with him.

"If you are investigating the trafficking, then you should already be aware of the seriousness of the matter. There are shady matters going on that make the eradication of trafficking difficult. Sometimes, the law itself ties the hands of the government body. A force is needed to eradicate the pests without being tied by law.

Join me, Gin. This is the best time to move while the top families and guilds haven't completely adjusted to the new era. It will just be a matter of time before a system that will restrict all new hyperbeings is established. If we move now, it will be difficult for them to point the assailant, as there are many new hyperbeings not registered. Gin, give your daughter a safe place to live where she can play at a park without making you feel worried that she will be taken away."

Gin's eyes are starting to burn with fighting spirit as he listens to Edgar. The feeling that he had when he just started working as a newbie with big dreams started to ignite. He grips his fists hard. Although he is somehow persuaded by Edgar, he has to know him more if he can be trusted.

"What is your plan?" asked Gin.

Edgar smiled when he heard Gin.

Edgar talks about his plan, and Gin listens carefully. The more Gin listens, the more his eyes turn wide.

Gin turned silent for a while, then sighed. He took out a cigarette and lit it. He smokes and looks at the sky. The smiling face of his seven-year-old daughter appears in the sky. He too wants his daughter to grow up and enjoy her life in a safe place. He took the cigarette out of his mouth and smiled.

He stretched his hand to Edgar and said,"Let me formally introduce myself. I'm Gin Magna, and my codename will be Shadow."

Edgar smiles, and he shakes Gin's hand.

"Welcome to the team, Shadow."

Edgar flew to another city. He wants to find more potential members. He has already selected the others. He will meet them in the next few days. He reached Navotas City, then used life detection.

"Hmm?" Edgar detected an injured young man on the beach.

He flew toward the beach. The young man is unconscious.

He healed the man's injuries, then he controlled the sand and let it lift the young man. He molded the sand into a golem and let it hold the young man like a princess, then let it walk toward the mangrove. The golem slowly turned back into sand as it dropped the young man to the ground.

Edgar activated illusion dust.

"His name is Oswal. Hmmm, he also has a grudge against Poison Lord, and he was saved by a secret agent of PHA. His personality is not bad," thought Edgar as he watches the illusion. He deactivated the illusion after watching for a while.

"This kid is smart and has a brave heart. He probably sneaked out from Palawan Island through the ship used by Poison Guild members," thought Edgar.

He measures the aptitude of the young man. He couldn't help but smile when he saw the result.

"He has a high aptitude for aura and lightning. He could be a Legatee of Aktor's Legacy."
