The Legacy System

Since it would be a noisy war, then it was in both sides' interests that the battle ended as quickly as possible. Better yet without suffering much damage and injuries.

Eric was no different he wanted to finish this as quickly as possible as well. After all, his energy, strength, and stamina were dwindling and he wasn't able to continue for long.

With those thoughts in mind, he didn't waste any more seconds, and right when the fight actually started he teleported right behind Master Tegen.

Unfortunately, Master Tegen was no soft persimmon either as the moment that Eric's body appeared behind him, he immediately used all his strength, energy, and concentration to cut him in two.

After seeing what happened with Monk Tao he had been waiting and expecting something like this to happen every fraction of a second.

If Eric didn't make a move soon he would have already passed out due to the extremely high concentration and waste of his spirit power.

Well, passed out seems like a bit too much, but he would have certainly started to feel dizzy and incapable of doing that for any longer.

The moment that he saw Eric's body in two pieces, and the flowing blood out of his cut pieces he felt unbelievable relief.

Unfortunately, this damn brat seemed to be quite the disgusting kind as even in two parts as he was, he actually stabbed with his knife forward and tried to stab into his heart.

This was something extremely terrifying and difficult to understand. Furthermore, he had already used all his strength and energy on that single swipe with his sword.

It was impossible for him to be able to block that attack from that distance, and he could only pray to all the Gods he knew, and curse Eric's 18 generations.

'Claaanngggg… Bannnnnnngggggg…'

Even though it looked like he was about to die, Eric's knife never reached his chest or his body. As only the sounds of a knife crashing upon a solid, and the consequent bang was heard.

It didn't really make sense, even the guy at the sharp end of the knife was unable to understand for a moment why had something like this happened.

It was only after he had taken a few deep breathes that he finally remembered the reason, he actually had a defensive artifact on his body.

Even though this thing wouldn't be able to be reused in a short time, it still was enough to help him defend from that last attack and survive.

At that moment, when he had seen the upper half of Eric's body continue to move and attack him he had fully lost all senses, including his memory.

He was able to see his life passing right in front of his eyes, and he was unable to not only move and speak but even take a full, deep breath.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!"

It was only when he was assured of his survival that he could finally relax himself, remember that important fact, and laugh like a maniac.

He didn't care in the least whether this was proper, or what was happening around him. He was just extremely happy to have survived the attack. He had been able to keep his life.

'Puchiii…, puschiii…'

Just as he couldn't help but laugh maniacally at his survival, he suddenly heard to almost non-existent sounds and felt a prick on his heart and neck.

His body immediately froze in shock and stun, as only one question rang through his heart and mind as his conscience started to go to sleep forever.

'How!?'

It should have been impossible! This whole thing looked just like some sort of bad dream or nightmare that he wanted to wake up to as soon as possible.

Just how the fu*ck was something like that possible!? He had seen Eric's body cut into two pieces with his own eyes, and it wasn't even an illusion.

The smell, the touch, the blood, everything was real, so how was it possible for Eric not only to not die but even kill him at the same time.

He was unconvinced, he was unwilling, he was unaccepting, but unfortunately, no one cared about his thoughts and feelings as he died.

As for Eric!? He didn't waste time caring about the dead guy's thoughts and feelings as he quickly checked his whole body, and then picked up what he wanted before joining the fray.

It might look like this was extremely simple for him, but the truth was that it was anything but that. Right now even he was having a terrifying headache that made him feel like his head was splitting.

The truth was that he had no idea of Master Tegen's defensive artifact, and he was concentrated only on killing the guy.

But since he gave him a weird and dangerous feeling, he decided to not do the kill directly with his hands this time.

For that reason when he sat inside the protective Ice shield he concentrated on creating one of his clones, and not recovering his energy and spiritual power.

After all, he would only need one or two teleportations at most to kill that Master Tegen. No Realm 4 could resist one of his point-blank attacks.

While they might find a way to counter him in a long fight, but if he were to assassinate them, only a solid Realm 5 would be able to fully defend against his move.

Furthermore, since the spirit control over the puppet was himself, then he kept the Space Law comprehension even on the clone body that he was controlling.

For that reason, he was able to teleport even if it was his clone and appeared behind Master Tegen. Since the guy had been too obsessed with Eric's sudden appearance and not his strength, he hadn't realized he was fighting a clone.

It was just like someone eloping with the bride while everyone was enjoying the wedding. The worst and most painful part of this whole matter though was when he continued to attack despite being cut in two.

Of course having the comprehension of laws, and other stuff while taking control of a Clone was a great perk, but at the same time receiving all the damage double was a great disadvantage.

At that moment Eric felt like he had lost his life, and there was no escape for him, still, he clenched his teeth and fists until blood started coming out and continued with the attack.

It was only when he saw that protective barrier around Master Tegen's body that he finally understood why he felt that weird sensation earlier and how smart was on his side to go with this strategy.

Once the defensive barrier was dealt with, he wanted to attack as soon as possible and put an end to this, but unfortunately, the soul-wrenching pain didn't allow him to.

Still, forcefully breaking through the pain and body weakness, he teleported behind Master Tegen once again, and this time he managed to stab the guy's heart and cut his throat to end his life.

Once the snake's head was gone, the body and its tail could only writhe a few times before finally resting in peace as well.

Sweeping the place clean with Takeshiba Aika's and Ice's help, Eric quickly collected the items of these fish and was about to leave when he felt a reaction from the submarine that attacked with torpedoes.

Since they hadn't received news from the leader for quite some time, and seeing all their people get killed, the staff seemed to have taken a decision and was about to launch two other torpedoes.

The target was Eric and the two beauties by his side without any doubt. But how could Eric allow them to escape that easily, after all, they had tried to kill him once, and this was the second time?

Without wasting time he quickly pulled out a powerful underwater sniper and then used two bullets to attack the torpedoes that were about to be released.

'BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM~!'

Before the staff of the submarine could understand what happened the two torpedoes exploded in their holes, and the submarine followed suit.

No matter how much he would want to stay there and watch as it happened, Eric didn't have the time or the freedom to do so, as many stronger presences were approaching the place.

Without wasting too much of his time, Eric quickly embraced the two beauties' waistes and then used one of his long-distance Escape Talismans.

By the time those powerful experts arrived at the location of the happening, Eric and his two beauties had disappeared from the place.

Of course, many Masters and Experts tried their methods to find out what happened and how it happened, but no matter how much they tried it was impossible to find Eric and the two beauties.

…

Meanwhile, Eric and the two ladies managed to find Willa and enter the Nightless Stone City pocket dimension once again, as all the people in there were looking at Eric as if he was some sort of God.

How could they look at him differently, they had thought that Willa was a beast of a monster that would end up eating them, but in fact, it turned out to be his pet.

This was something that they had never thought possible, no matter how wild dreams they had about Eric's strength.

On the other hand, the man himself just acted like this was normal, and went to spend some days with his ladies.

After all, soon they would reach their next destination, and it was time for Eric to collect some debts…
