Misty World: Start with SSS skill-Chapter 54 See The Future
That's right, Hikaru only used a single move to destroy all five players. However, he didn't use the Thunder Spear but rather the new weapon he received in the Void Challenge.
Hikaru stood in the Simulation Space with a puzzled expression on his face as he muttered, "Strange. Why was Sherwin defeated by those five players? Obviously, they're not too strong and they don't have any special skills."
"I want to see Sherwin fight the other five players again."
[Ding! You cannot watch the same event in the future more than once.]
Hikaru frowned. He asked Rika: "Is there any way I can see the future where Sherwin fought the other 5 players? Or the reason they beat him."
[Maybe I can help you. However, you won't be able to see the outcome of this war because you have already seen it.]
Hikaru nodded. A message popped up about a minute later.
[Ding! You need to pay 10,000,000 soul points.]
"Agreed."
The environment around Hikaru immediately changed. He saw a mysterious woman meeting the other five players. The strange thing was that all five of these players were gathered in one place, and their gazes seemed to be lifeless.
Hikaru felt that the mysterious woman was the cause of Sherwin's failure. However, no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see the woman's face clearly. She was like the other person in a black coat.
"Is she also a player from another world?"
[Probably.] Rika replied to Hikaru's question.
He chose to view the woman's information when suddenly, a message popped up.
[Ding! Your rank is not enough to see this person's information.]
'Just like the guy in the black coat, maybe they're from the same organization? No, this woman was the cause of Sherwin's defeat. Perhaps they are on opposite sides.' Hikaru thinks to himself.
As he continued to watch, he saw five mud shoals come out of the woman, then they started crawling on the ground. After that, they crawled on top of the other five players. However, they didn't resist.
The next thing that happened almost made Hikaru vomit. Those five players simultaneously opened their mouths and let the mud into their bodies. After that, the five players all turned to leave. However, they were like puppets that were being controlled.
Then the vision of the future ended. Although the battle was not shown, Hikaru now knew how Sherwin was defeated.
But at the same time, he wanted to curse. The bastard in the black coat certainly couldn't defeat the mysterious woman, so when Sherwin failed, he came looking for him to vent his anger.
Hikaru then asked Rika: "Can't the CopyCat skill copy when they are being controlled by that woman?"
[Master, the Copycat skill only copies players based on their information; it cannot copy other things, including items in that player's inventory, so it cannot copy when they were controlled by the woman.]
"So... what if I evolve the skill?"
[It could be possible. But the amount of resource needed is a lot because this skill will duplicate things you are not aware of.]
Hikaru nodded. Although it took a lot of resources, if he could perfectly copy other players' information, he wouldn't be stingy. Because if he knows his enemies, he doesn't need to fear a hundred battles
[Ding! To advance the CopyCat skill from SSR to UR, you must pay 100,000,000 soul points, each elemental stone multiplied by 100,000.]
"Why it so expensive?"
[Master, like I said. For this skill to work, you need a lot of resources, especially elemental stones to evolve it.]
Hikaru took a deep breath. In the past two days, he had accumulated over 160 million soul points and 8 million elemental stones. Thus, even evolving this skill should not be a problem.
"Accept!"
[Ding! Successful evolution!]
…
Name: CopyCat
Rarity: UR
Description 1: Make a copy of a known or seen player or monster.
Description 2: That player (or monster) clone will be exactly the same as the original.
Description 3: That copy can only last for 24 hours. You cannot use that copy to do any other activity apart from practice.
Description 4: As long as you have enough soul points and elemental stones, you can reproduce that copy without limit.
…
Hikaru immediately used the CopyCat skill to copy the other five players.
[Ding! To create a clone, you need to pay 10,000,000 soul points; each elemental stone is x1,000.]
Hikaru sighed and silently scolded the system for being a capitalist, then said, "Accept."
Hikaru then entered the Simulation Space and started to fight with the five clones he had just created.
Very quickly, the battle ended. It only took him about five seconds to kill all five of the players. Despite being in an unknown state after swallowing the mysterious woman's mud, he was still able to defeat them with the same ease as last time. However, he also knew why Sherwin failed.
Hikaru thought, then decided to emulate the mysterious woman.
[Ding! You must spend 200,000,000 soul points, each elemental stone x 50,000, to create clone.]
Seeing the price the system offered, Hikaru immediately felt fear. Sherwin's current value was only 30,000,000 soul points, but the other woman's value was 200,000,000 soul points. This shows that her strength is not trivial.
Hikaru frowned, then issued another command: "Make a clone of Selvih."
[Ding! To create clones, you must pay 1,000,000,000 soul points, multiplied by 100,000 elemental stones.]
'So Selvih is much stronger than that woman.' Hikaru thought to himself, He also gained a new perspective on the strength of mysterious people.
However, Hikaru also realized that stats only reflect a small part of one's strength. To know a person's strength, it is necessary to know the skills, talents, and items they possess.
Hikaru sighed and asked Rika, "Can I see why Sherwin killed the other two?"
[It's possible, Master. Please be patient.]
About 10 minutes later, a message from the system appeared.
[Ding! Please pay 10,000,000 soul points to view the information.]
"Accept."
The environment around Hikaru changed again. He saw Sherwin holding the Misty Lamp away in the fog. Suddenly, he said, "He seems to have changed a lot. The girl who followed him also changed."
Hikaru frowned, confused because he didn't know who Sherwin was talking to. At this moment, another voice rang out: "That's right. But be careful of the girl. "
Hikaru heard that voice and realized it was the voice of the mysterious person wearing the black coat. However, Hikaru only heard his voice and couldn't see where he was.
[Master, the mysterious person is hiding in Sherwin's shadow]
Upon hearing Rika reveal the location of the mysterious person, Hikaru felt that this person was too dangerous. If he's hiding in his shadow, then surely he knows all about me.
"That girl?" Sherwin asked again, "The girl going with Hikaru?"
"Right. She is a Fairy Dragon. "
"Fairy Dragon? Is it a type of dragon? " Sherwin looked puzzled: "Are they very strong?"
"Right. I also don't think a Fairy dragon would accept being a slave to a human. "
"Why?" Sherwin asked.
"Dragons are an extremely arrogant and greedy race. They treat humans and other low-level races like ants. "
Sherwin suddenly interrupted: "Perhaps that girl was summoned by Hikaru. There are many people in this world who have the ability to summon monsters. "
"You don't understand about the dragon race. They are a race that possesses tremendous magical and physical strength. If summoned, the dragon race has the ability to refuse to be summoned. "
Sherwin frowned in disbelief. He said, "But the first time we met, she couldn't even..."
"Couldn't beat you, could she? Maybe, she's hiding her true power, or was just... toying with you."
"What?" Sherwin's face showed surprise. He explained: "But... at that time, her owner almost died at my hands."
"As I said, that girl is not an ordinary dragon, but a Fairy Dragon. The Fairy Dragon is considered royalty in the Dragon race. They are more powerful than ordinary dragons. Naturally, a fairy dragon can easily break the link between the summoner and them. So, don't look down on that girl; she's probably just toying with you. "
"But... At that time, Hikaru also had an arm amputated."
"Haiz." The man in black sighed and said, "I told you that the Fairy Dragon possesses tremendous magic power and knowledge. It's also quite normal for them to have the ability to restore a human arm. "
Sherwin nodded at that. Now, he no longer had any disdain for Hikaru but instead was interested in him. That's right, Sherwin immediately laughed and said, "That's even better. My ally cannot be a weakling. Maybe... Hikaru has the ability to control that Fairy Dragon girl."
The mysterious man was silent for a moment, then replied, "It's up to you, but be careful with him."
Hikaru, who was listening to their conversation, felt that there was a huge misunderstanding, but he didn't want to explain it either. On the contrary, Hikaru felt that this misunderstanding might make the mysterious man fear Vuni and thus discourage him from venting his anger on his territory.
Suddenly, the man in black added, "Find the other two players."
"Why?" Sherwin asked.
"I also have another enemy who has the ability to manipulate other players like a puppet. You and Hikaru's strength can easily win without any comrades. I don't want you to be stabbed by a traitor." 𝒇𝚛e𝘦wℯ𝑏𝓃𝑜νℯ𝒍.co𝗺
Sherwin felt that the words of the man in the black coat made sense, so he followed suit. When Hikaru saw this, he sighed in frustration, thinking to himself: 'Yes, there are no traitors, but you were still defeated by other players, Sherwin.'
