My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly!-Chapter 77: Wheel of Doom!

The dragon’s snout was closed, and it opened again, and he flew right up to him for another bite at this tiny worm.

Its slitted pupils trembled in anger from the annoyance.

This little thing was clearly a worm in front of him, not enough for a toothpick even if it wanted to pick its teeth with it.

It should be honoured to even enter its stomach, but this worm dared to resist.

The more the dragon’s snout appeared further outside the ground, the more its eyes became bloodshot, with veins erupting through its pupils.

Even when it saw a black wheel of doom, it didn’t stop, consumed by anger itself.

The sword descended swiftly, its wheel-like barrel spinning as it tore through the dragon’s snouts, splitting them in two—slowly but inexorably.

A chilling sound echoed through the surroundings.

The dragon felt a searing burn in its mouth; its jaws had been cleanly severed, and golden blood poured out in torrents.

But the wheel of doom did not stop. It drove deeper into the dragon’s body.

The burning pain forced the dragon to shed crystalline tears. From its very core, its heart, a terrifying flame erupted, lashing out at the wheel of doom that sought to tear it apart from the inside out.

The flame clashed with the wheel for only a moment. But, in that fleeting instant, the strength of the flame was utterly spent, while the wheel of doom continued its advance, undeterred and unstoppable.

But just then, another attack cooked up inside the core of the dragon—a beam of light shot towards the wheel of doom, more strong, sharp, and powerful than before!

It pushed back the wheel of doom uncontested and sent it whizzing through the air.

The wheel of doom flung into the air and crash-landed a hundred meters away.

However, the damage was already done; golden blood bled profusely through the cut, and the dragon coughed violently.

"How dare a little worm do this?"

A primal roar filled with rage erupted in the surrounding.

Another beam of light formed in its core, and it opened its broken mouth to reveal it, aiming at the little worm who made its condition that way.

Eryke stood up, his body charred as he violently coughed smoke mixed with blood.

"This will be troublesome."

He shrugged and...

ran away quickly.

The beam of light shot towards him at a terrifying speed, distorting the surrounding as it reached his back.

Eryke hurriedly turned towards the attack, starlight glittered in his arms, and a black swirling in the shape of a sharp sword formed, and the two clashed in an instant.

Bang!

The surroundings trembled violently. The very air boiled, its momentum halting for a mere second before Eryke was hurled through the air—like a broken kite with no strings.

He crashed to the ground, bouncing like a ragdoll struck by the ray, until its force finally waned. By the time it was over, he had been flung at an incomprehensible distance.

The Dragon sneered with disdain. Its snout, already healed, opened wide as it let out a triumphant roar.

The sound shook the very earth.

Then, it vanished into the sands, lying in wait once more.

Battered. Charred. Bruised.

Words could scarcely describe the state Eryke was in.

His left eye was completely gone, veins bulged grotesquely across his body, and not a single spot remained untouched by injury.

It was just a terrifying sight to see that made one hold their breath.

Looking at the terrifying condition of Eryke, anyone would feel a chill in their hearts.

It was a wonder how his dented chest was rising up and down in such a gruesome way.

"That dragon was terrifying."

Eryke thought in his heart. The injuries were healing slowly but surely.

Although immobile, that wouldn’t last long!

"Eryke the Third! Eryke the Fifth! Eryke the Sixth!" He shouted in his mind.

Three clones appeared simultaneously in front of the dying Eryke and nodded their heads in understanding, slowly but swiftly guiding him to safety.

"Sigh, I wish my regeneration was at a higher level."

After taking cover by his three clones, Eryke blankly stared at the orange sky.

His body was regenerating, but the pain was overwhelming, and the regeneration was extremely slow as well.

How much time had passed, he didn’t know, but his pupils finally trembled and seemed to have been released from their restraint.

He looked at the three clones of his, thinking for a moment. Eryke the Third’s skill was Death, Eryke the Fifth’s was Adapt, and Eryke the Sixth’s skill was Heart of Righteousness!

Thinking of their usefulness, he slowly opened his parched lips with a tremble of his brows, trying to muster his words but failing to do so he uttered in his mind again:

’Just go, Eryke the Third, scour the wasteland for food. You two, build shelter for me.’

Without hesitation, the three clones immediately went to work.

Eryke the Third went out to hunt, while Eryke the Fifth and Sixth started to dig a hole in the ground.

They touched the sand, and gradually a shallow trench began to form on the ground.

This was the effect of Synergy!

One could manipulate the four elements of nature, and sand, although it doesn’t fall under the category of one of those elements, is a variant of it.

Then they raised the body of Eryke and laid him down in comfort.

After doing so, Eryke just closed his eyes to rest. The two clones of his defended him vigorously, so that not even a fly could get by.

...

Eryke the Third carefully traversed the terrain, making sure not to spot the dragon; otherwise, only devastation would follow.

"I will get back at that dragon one day."

Anyways, as he went through the place, he traveled and traveled further. A mile later, there was nothing.

After two miles, still nothing.

The sun dipped below the horizon, and two moons bloomed in the sky. It was freezing and turbid in the surroundings, but Eryke the Third still traveled with determination.

With each breath, a mist formed through his lungs.

Just then, his eyes glinted; he could see it, some greenery farther ahead, his interest aroused, he pushed his legs and shot through the air, finally reaching the place.

There it was, a forest with lustrous trees filled with fruits and a herd of animals. He could even see a light further away.

"Finally." Eryke the Third raised his hand in pure excitement.
