Chapter 211 – Beyond the 21st Floor
Beautifully sparkling blonde hair in the gloomy rainforest.
A pure white leather suit that clearly exposes the explosive body.
Her skin is as white as a leather suit, so much so that it looks like she is naked at first glance.
And soft eyes and ears that twitch like a dog’s eyes and tail.
When you think of an elf, or Erov, a beautiful, lewd yet comfortable woman clings to her and calls her master.
June looked at Rebecca, not knowing whether to like it or not in a situation that any man would dream of.
Although her aura was a little different, she was so similar to Rebecca that even though she had changed her coloring, she believed.
Don’t identical twins look just as much alike as they do?
Anyway, whoever she was, it was clear that she was related to Rebecca.
“It is my shadow.”
“What? Shadow?”
“Yes, it’s a shadow!”
In response to the completely unexpected response, Jun looked at Rebecca and her woman as if asking, “Are you kidding me?”
The two women did not avoid his gaze as if there was nothing to worry about.
“So, this albino, or rather the elf, is yourself, created by Rebecca’s ‘shadow cloning technique’?”
Shadow cloning
A technique that raises the shadow of an object and acts as a bell.
That was the power Rebecca received with the flowering of the Third Core.
‘My mother-in-law gave Rebecca a special ability that really suited her.’
Aside from the bomb, Rebecca’s fighting style is that of an assassin who makes full use of the utility and stealth of ‘superpower-darkness’.
What is the skill that suits that type?
Needless to say, it was an auxiliary ability that would maximize attack power such as buffs, debuffs, and poison.
However, that kind of ability did not suit Rebecca.
Thanks to the bombs she loves so much, her attack power is already overflowing.
Instead, the stealth that is characteristic of the assassin type has been halved.
Rebecca’s special ability was one that could bring back her secretiveness.
‘There is a saying that if you want to hide a tree, hide it in the forest.’
In terms of her stealth, Rebecca possessed the best ‘superpower-darkness’ in the supernatural world, and her skills related to hiding were also mastered to the point where most experts would go away.
Other than using bombs, there was really only one way to increase Rebecca’s stealth.
Create an ally for her who will erase her own existence.
That’s right.
The ability that suited Rebecca best was summoning.
‘Rebecca knew that too, and she created skills similar to summoning techniques such as Black Dog (refer to Episode 115).’
She has low artificial intelligence and her movements are monotonous, so she is not used much other than when using bait.
In order to increase her stealth, a real summon was needed that had high intelligence capable of autonomous action and enough strength to draw the enemy’s attention.
‘And ‘Shadow Cloning’ can summon a beast that meets those conditions.’
From birth to death, shadows are with life at every moment.
Therefore, the shadow contained everything that life had seen, heard, and felt throughout its life,
It was safe to say that the shadow (summoned beast) raised by shadow cloning was actually the owner of the shadow with some flaws.
With great power comes a great price.
It was very difficult and dangerous to activate and use the shadow cloning technique as it had the amazing effect of completely replicating an entity even if there were some flaws.
Attribute – If the affinity for shadows was not high, it was almost impossible to activate the spell, it was not easy to create a shadow, and an enormous amount of magical power was consumed to maintain the spell.
The biggest problem is that since the shadow has a clear sense of self, it does not accept control and can attack the magic user.
Since there was no separate way to control the shadow in the shadow cloning technique, it was up to him to control the shadow.
‘Usually it seems like you negotiate with the shadows, but Rebecca doesn’t need to do that.’
Attribute superpowers can only bloom when the affinity for that attribute is very high,
The affinity of the higher attribute is converted to twice the affinity of the lower attribute.
In other words, Rebecca, who has a high affinity for darkness to the point of developing superpower-darkness, has an affinity several times that for shadow, a subordinate attribute of darkness.
‘If you have that level of affinity, you can force it to be under control without having to negotiate with the shadow. And affinity for shadows has a big impact on the quantity and quality of shadows that can be created.’
Shadow cloning has many disadvantages in many ways, but for Rebecca, it was as easy and as hearty as an Auror, and was like soup.
‘With luck and purpose added, I expected growth to be very fast.’
Jun tightly hugged Rebecca’s shadow, which was still hanging in his arms.
The sweet scent, warm body temperature, and voluptuous body were clearly conveyed.
I don’t know about her combat power, but her presence wasn’t much different from Rebecca.
“How much shadow cloning have you learned?”
“I have just finished my introduction and entered the basic stage.”
“But the shadow is as complete as this… Oh, sorry. By treating it like an object.”
She had Rebecca’s personality and memories.
Even if she wasn’t alive and was just a result of her supernatural abilities, it wasn’t right to treat her like an object right in front of her.
Did that consideration work?
Rebecca’s shadow smiled bitterly but shook her head saying it was okay.
While she was patting her back to express her apologies, Rebecca continued her explanation.
“Albino is something special. No matter how much my skills improve, other shadows cannot have the same level of perfection as an albino.”
“I see. But an albino?”
“… And the reason why albino can have such special qualities is because ‘another me’, a technique where the user raises his or her own shadow, is the secret behind the shadow cloning technique.”
When I tried to argue with him about giving the shadow an insincere name, Rebecca pretended not to hear him and continued.
Since a name has an important meaning to any being, it would have been possible to continue the protest, but what Rebecca said was not something that could be put off as a priority.
“Misguided? Jjolab, who has just entered the basics, used the essence of this ability, Oui?”
Are you out of your mind?
June was furious at Rebecca.
That’s right, the Five Ways were a skill only available to those who had completely mastered that ability.
Not only can those who have not mastered this ability not be able to use it at will, but if they do use it, their core will inevitably be destroyed, and they will suffer major internal injuries, and if they are unlucky, they may even die.
My wife, who loves such technology, used it without permission before she was ready.
As her husband, how could I not be angry?
“I’m sorry, honey. I was wrong. “I will never do something dangerous like this again.”
Rebecca quickly apologized.
The long, drooping ears made it seem like he was truly realizing his mistake and reflecting on it.
‘No, you probably knew it was wrong from the beginning. Even though she has a bit of mania, she is a wise woman.’
Nevertheless, the reason she used Oui was probably because she became impatient due to God Bright’s advice to work hard so as not to be a burden to her family.
“Rebecca, there is no need to be impatient. We can go a little slower, so let’s go as safely as possible.”
She took the albino out of her arms and placed Rebecca in her arms.
She nodded her head, listening to his voice that was so sweet and lovely.
“I understand, dear. I will do as you say. And, and…”
“Master! The body loves it!”
“Profit! “Don’t intercept what I’m trying to say!”
“Well, what are you doing? “I was so embarrassed that I was about to give up.”
An albino looking at Rebecca as if she felt truly pitiful.
Rebecca got angry and gritted her teeth at that gaze, but she couldn’t deny what she said, as if she was wrong.
“Iike!”
“Grrr!”
“Juni, it feels like a cat and a dog are fighting.”
“I was thinking about that too.”
The sight of Rebecca and her albino dog glaring at each other was very similar to that of a cat and a dog fighting.
For reference, the cat was Rebecca and the dog was albino.
‘Anyway, is it okay? Seeing what the albino is doing, it looks like he will attack Rebecca at any time.’
No, won’t it definitely come rushing in?
Just as a doppelganger copies a person’s appearance and then wants to kill that person and become that person, an albino who is just a shadow would also have that desire.
Rebecca, who noticed Jun’s worries, smiled and reassured him.
“Don’t worry, dear. “The shadows, including the albino, will never rebel against me.”
“… Hmph!”
As if those words weren’t wrong, her albino snorted.
Is there something this side doesn’t know?
“As I entered the basic stage, I gained specialization. It is a specialty called ‘dominance’, and thanks to this, it is possible to exercise absolute dominance over summoned creatures. “The reason I decided to raise up ‘another me’ who is likely to rebel is because I acquired this specialization.”
“Huh…”
Good luck here again!
Rebecca, she was truly a woman who could do anything.
