139 139: The Most broken character? Part 2



Evan continued, "I understand that it's going to be a tough road ahead, but I can't let this opportunity pass me by. I need to prove to my clan that I have what it takes to face the best of the best, even if it means taking a risk."

That was not the reason why Evan was determined and unyielding in his decision. 

To be honest, from his father, Evan had heard of the daunting trial that awaited one on the ninth floor. As a Soul Manifestation Realm Cultivator, he was aware that he lacked the strength to overcome it without being gravely injured, but he couldn't afford to get severely injured, for he had to reach the tenth floor unscathed in good condition in order to make use of the treasure map and attain the treasure he sought. And completing the last challenge of this trial was the direct path to the tenth floor. That's why he was adamant about facing the renowned Hidden Sword of the Imperial Frost Clan. 

Although he could sense Victor's concern, Evan had to trust his instincts and take a chance. The fifth ancestor was a crucial figure in the Frost clan's history, and defeating him would secure mean increasing his chances of securing his position as the Crown Prince of Frost to 99%! 

Sigh~ 

Victor's realization that Evan was resolute in his decision prompted a deep sigh from him.

"Alright," he said to Evan, a hint of reluctance in his voice. "You can do as you please, but make sure you're cautious. Your life is valuable, and it should be your top priority. Just surrender when you have absolutely no other option. At least then you'll get to keep your life and have a chance to fight another day."

Evan chuckled at Victor's concern. "It's my life, but you're worrying about it more than I am," he remarked playfully. "But don't worry, I won't take any unnecessary risks. And if I find myself in a situation where victory is impossible, I'll do my best to preserve my life."

Evan opened the black door, stepped through it, and found himself face-to-back with a person sitting on the edge of the arena, oblivious to his presence.

The figure had hair that resembled the color of blue skies, and Evan couldn't help but stare at him in shock. He seemed somewhat similar to Keldor, that bastard.

Curiosity overtook Evan, and he decided to immediately cast the inspection skill to gather more information about the figure.

A game-like character screen materialized in his vision, revealing the identity of the person before him.

Name: Dylan J. Lionheart 

Evan couldn't help but think, 'Dylan J. Lionheart? That's interesting. Keldor shares the same middle name and last name as him. It seems they're related. Blood relatives, perhaps?' 

Evan then went ahead and read all the information about Dylan J. Lionheart on the character screen.

[Level: 10th Level Soul Manifestation Realm

Soul Plate: "All-in-One."

•Grant the user the universal passive of all types of soul plates!]

When Evan saw that Dylan J. Lionheart had an "All-in-One" Soul Plate that granted universal passive of all types of soul plates, his eyes widened in shock as if a sudden realization had hit him. He remembered reading in the game that three of the seven Phantom Lords of the Sun Moon Empire resided in the Imperial Frost Clan. Sir Edmund was one of them, and Evan already knew about him. The second one was his father's shadow guard, but the identity of the third Phantom Lord was a mystery. However, from the vision he had seen earlier that night, he knew that the third Phantom Lord possessed the All-in-One Soul Plate. Since the All-in-One was hereditary, and both Dylan and Keldor were J. Lionhearts, it was highly likely that Keldor also possessed the same soul plate, making him the third Phantom Lord of the clan!

With that realization, a great mystery was solved in Evan's mind. It all seemed to make sense now.

The game-like screen in Evan's mind had more to show. Apart from Dylan's identity, it also displayed his stats and skills.

Dylan's stats were as follows:-

Strength: 100

Agility: 100

Stamina: 100

As for his skill crystal, it had a unique name and an even unique effect. 

It was called "Ethereal Revenant."

The description of the skill crystal stated that it allowed Dylan to absorb the spirits of his defeated opponents and use their abilities as his own.

The clone of Dylan, which was created by the Spirit of the Monster Tower, was designed based on the same Dylan who had assimilated the spirits of several first-step and a handful of second-step soul manipulators. As a result, the clone possessed expertise in several offensive soul skills as well as a few movement-based soul skills. Essentially, this made the clone an intimidating adversary for any soul manipulator who dared to cross its path.

'Wow, Founder Dylan's stats are off the charts! They are as good as mine. And that skill crystal... 'Ethereal Revenant'... that sounds dangerous. Absorbing the souls of defeated opponents? That's insane. And he's already defeated several first-step and second-step soul manipulators? This clone is going to be tough to beat.'

Evan's heart sank a little as he realized he was about to face an opponent with not only exceptional stats but also a rare and powerful soul plate and an overpowered skill crystal.

'But I can do this. I've picked up multiple secret pieces by risking my life and trained hard to learn multiple powerful soul skills exactly for this moment. Time to show what I'm made of.'

However, he took a deep breath and prepared himself for the upcoming challenge.

Dylan lounged on the arena's edge, his back facing Evan, appearing nonchalant as he let his legs dangle off the side. Despite his casual posture, Dylan spoke with a measured and confident tone, his words carrying an unmistakable weight.

"I didn't anticipate that the data I left behind at the Monster tower would be used to create a clone only a century after my ascension to the higher realm. You really are an interesting guy." Dylan stated, his voice infused with amusement as he stood up and turned around to face Evan.
