Chapter 40 Ancestral Mirror Image Clone (Part 2)

"Are we really worthy of Master Marcus to do this?" They thought: "Unexpectedly, he is a mage, but he has the heart of a warrior! The heaven is on the left, and the warrior is on the right. He is so brave! He is so fearless." Already!"

In the encirclement and suppression of swarming gnolls, Duke only had time to send out one [Pyro-explosion] before falling down...

Next, the mercenaries began to feel extremely strange.

Duke is on his feet again...

"Hogg **** your uncle!"

One shot of [Pyroblast]!

Duke fell down again... This time Duke was split in two by an axe—dismembered!

Duke is...on his feet again...

"I will kill eighteen generations of you wolf man!"

Time and time again...Duke fell down again and again under Hogg's fierce counterattacks, and stood up intact again and again, doing nothing but cursing and throwing a big fireball at the huge Hogg Confused.

Even a fool can see that despite Hogg's bravery and tenacious vitality, the flame on Hogg's body has never been extinguished, and it keeps burning bigger and bigger.

Hogg's injuries were piling up.

Its roar was not so sonorous. Its gnoll brethren were not so quick to respond to its commands. Even its movements seemed sluggish.

Even if it loses a lot of sanity because of something, it realizes that something is wrong with itself.

Gradually, Duke could first cast a [Pyroblast], and then make up an instant [Pyroblast], before being shot to death.

All the tears in the lacrimal glands of all the mercenaries were drained... They felt as if they were tricked by this mysterious young mage, but they didn't.

After all, Duke let them run in the first place.

Isn't Duke fighting to save their burdens?

As a mage with so many life-saving skills, it shouldn't be a problem for him to run away alone, right?

Even if Duke fell down tragically every time, and then his vigorous performance of rising from the ashes was enough to become the talk of them in the tavern after dinner. They noticed something different.

The ordinary jackals had already dispersed, and they all hid away, watching in awe as their boss was fighting with an unbeatable Duke.

Over there, Makaro solemnly told his subordinates: "What we saw today, even if we go to hell, we can't utter half a word... If I'm not wrong, this should involve Duke Marcus, a very, very An important secret. If we are lucky, we will be the retainers of Lord Marcus in this life."

Everyone shuddered suddenly and nodded in unison.

Such a strange ability is absolutely unheard of before. Are there still fewer guys who inadvertently heard the secrets of important people being silenced?

It is already a great thing to be able to sell yourself and not be killed.

On the other side, under the continuous accumulation of injuries, Hogg's vitality was about to be exhausted.

"Magic Penetration Light Killing Cannon——" Duke roared the incomprehensible name of the move, and with a not-so-agile step, he even stepped on the bend of Hogg's left arm hanging on the ground, and stepped on Hogg with his strength. Grid's shoulder, and then put two fingers into Hogg's eye socket very pretentiously.

Zero-distance instant [Pyroblast]!

"Aww——" Different from the high-spirited howl at the beginning, the last tragic cry contained too much unwillingness and resentment from Hogg.

But the cry stopped abruptly after only halfway through, because Hogg's entire huge head was filled with the rapidly expanding flame inside.

After a mere second, the back of Hogg's huge head exploded backward like a smashed watermelon.

The jackals who were watching the battle from a distance were frightened and ran away.

Standing proudly on the huge chest of Hogg's fallen body, Duke, who was bathed in a bloody storm, didn't have much sense of accomplishment.

In the game before Duke's crossing, Hogg was just a level 11 elite monster. Even with the amazing nickname of a cute new killer, after all, he was just an inconspicuous little monster.

Unexpectedly, in order to kill Hogg once, he actually paid 11 resurrections.

Thinking of this, Duke felt a sense of despair.

However, Duke, who had time to read the system prompt at this moment, was suddenly stunned.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully killing the demonized elite monster [Hogg]! You successfully thwarted the murder of you by a demon under Sargeras. Because [Hogg] has a small amount of demonic breath in his body, you left it If the head is given to a priest in Stormwind City, there may be unexpected gains."

"You have obtained the [Skinning Tomahawk] design blueprint that even low-intelligence creatures can make."

"Because you successfully killed the monster Hogg who killed you 11 times, your humanity has recovered a little. Your current soul power is 87, your integrity is 72%, and your current rank is the fifth-class earth mage!"

After reading it, Duke almost jumped up, and asked the system wizard in the spiritual world on the spot.

"Hey! What the hell is this? Why do I only have 72% of my morals left!?"

"Because the one who kills you is a demon creature. As the demon that is most likely to corrupt human souls, it will have an additional bonus effect on your kill. In a word, if you are killed by a demon or a demon, your integrity will be lost." faster!"

Duke almost choked on his own saliva.

I hate demons the most!

Unknowingly, Duke's still ferocious facial expression frightened Markaro and the others.

Recalling what Makaro said, they followed Makaro and knelt down in front of Hogg's huge corpse in fear, lowering their heads, not even daring to look up at Duke above.

Markaro said: "Thank you, Lord Marcus, for saving us. We have nothing to repay, and we hope to contribute to the great cause of Lord Marcus with our humble lives."

"Oh?" Awakened by the voice from the absent-minded state, Duke suddenly became interested: "Why?"

Originally, Duke asked why Markaro would say such a thing. Seeing the murderous Duke at this moment, Marcaro obviously misunderstood, thinking that Duke asked them why they let them go?

"We...we are very grateful to you, my lord, for saving us, but we have seen the secret of your immortality, Mr. Marcus...we don't want to die yet, so we are willing to serve you for the rest of our lives."

Duke was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he thought of how Aurelia had imagined and fooled herself when she was smashed for the first time. Duke suddenly burst out laughing.

"Thank you very much for your willingness to serve me..."

When Duke said this, it was obvious that Markaro and the others heaved a sigh of relief. It was the expression of walking around the gate of hell.

Duke's next words made their hearts hang in their throats again.

"However, I cannot accept your allegiance for this reason!"

Makaro immediately panicked: "Your Majesty Marcus, we..."

Just then, an accident happened.

Not far from Duke's feet, a jackal who was not yet dead suddenly jumped up, and a rough stone ax slammed into Duke's neck.

The accident happened so fast that no one had time to react.

"Ah!?" The mercenaries screamed at the same time.

They saw blood gushing from Duke's neck at such close range, and then fell to the ground... hanged!

"My God! What did His Excellency Marcus do?"

Before they could finish their astonishment, Duke's body turned into a faint stream of light and disappeared. There was hardly any transition, and Duke stood intact within two steps of the corpse.

"I'm an idiot! How dare a mere wolf man dare to sneak attack me!" Hogg's death was fine, but he was actually killed by an ordinary wolf man. It was really embarrassing. Duke, who hated so much, fired a big fireball and taught that guy who dared to let him lose his morals to be a maggot in his next life.

After finally calming down, Duke was that elegant mage again.

"See? It's just a kind of magic. To be precise, it's my family's ancestral [mirror image clone] talent! Every magician family has its own inheritance. Some families are good at elemental magic, and some are good at arcane magic. .I am just an inheritor of a family of fallen mages. This is not a shocking secret that must be kept secret by killing people. Of course, this is also one of my trump cards, and I don’t want you to talk about it everywhere.”

Duke's performance left the mercenaries dumbfounded, but this explanation made every mercenary feel really relaxed.

ah! It turned out to be mysterious magic! Those of us who don't know magic have really learned a lot.

Seeing their happy faces, Duke felt pain in his heart.

What the hell, my integrity has dropped again!
