The Legacy System

This was his best chance, this was his best way of pushing himself towards his limits, and as he was falling down, he suddenly felt like his soul was leaving his body.

But even though his soul wasn't inside his physical body at that time he didn't seem to have any troubles keeping control of it, as he masterfully changed direction mid-air and landed on the ground.

While that soul thread with that puppet wasn't broken yet. It still existed, but it was on the verge of breaking as only 10% of his conscience was concentrated on it.

He didn't know what was going on with him at the moment, but his body seemed to be doing perfectly and there was no problem with dodging, avoiding, and destroying those puppets.

It was only that soul thread that didn't seem capable of resisting for long, and if he didn't do something about it quickly it was going to break.

Even though he didn't really understand his condition at the moment, he knew that now wasn't the moment to lose time, as he quickly made his way towards the puppet.

Since his body was capable of taking care of his own in the short future, then he didn't feel like he needed to meddle with its way, so he aimed for the second priority.

The Leader Puppet was extremely precious, as it would be able to lower the pressure on his main body by a lot, and it could even help him reverse the current situation.

Thinking like that, he jumped into the mark space of the puppet, where he saw the same small version of that white-bearded dude of earlier in there, kicking the shit out of 'him'!

Unable to accept that situation, he immediately pounced on that damn bully and started showing him the difference between their strengths.

In less than a few seconds the whole fight was over, and it felt like it was nothing. In fact, that soul mark seemed extremely weak at that moment.

With that over, the Puppet Leader should be under his leadership at the moment, so he stopped caring about it, and got outside running towards his dogging body.

Even though he had to accept that he was extremely flexible and good at dodging he hadn't expected himself to act like this without a soul.

After all, there was nobody that would be able to move around without a soul, and even less than good, only if he was a puppet of sorts.

Thinking like that he could feel that cold sweat started appearing on the back of his spine, not because he was afraid of challenges, and these puppets.

But because there was a big chance that his body had become some kind of puppet as well. If he had truly turned into a puppet then he was doomed.

No, he couldn't allow something like that to happen, there was no way he had become a puppet, thinking like this he immediately reentered his own conscience realm.

The moment he appeared inside though he was unable to hold back his shock and stun as his eyes were fixed on that thing that he found in there.

It was a copy of himself, or it would be more exact to say it was a copy of his own Soul Avatar, making him even more confused about what was going on.

Damn!

What did this mean!?

How come there was a copy of himself inside his own body. Just what the hell was going on? He couldn't believe his senses for quite some time.

The other soul avatar seemed to be the same though, he was surprised and shocked as well at the appearance of his 'clone'.

But if didn't have the time to stop and have a talk with that thing, because he was forced to control his body, and find a way to deal with his enemies.

As for why it didn't attack him, quite simple actually, he was feeling some kind of strange connection with the 'clone' and it didn't seem like it was there to cause trouble.

It took Eric quite a bit to finally take control of the whole 50 puppets, but he managed to succeed on his mission, as he felt that his soul power was almost depleted.

It was only at that moment, that he finally managed to take a deep breath and relax while he saw something through his system interface that almost made him jump in pleasure.

"Clone Soul skill activated!        SSS        level-1: Upgradable      1/2

It allows the user to create a soul clone of himself with all the qualities of the general soul. The clone will forever be under the will of the original!"

This was an extremely helpful and amazing skill, but he still couldn't help but laugh a bit mocking at himself.

How did he ever think that everything would be so easy, and he would be able to take care of his soul like that?

Certainly, he would have to make more experiments and get more proficient in this skill if he didn't want to have trouble in the future.

Furthermore, he was still extremely happy to have been able to complete the first and foremost part of his plan, as he had even learned a new skill.

With those thoughts in mind, he immediately looked at the clone in front of him, and asked curiously,

"Do you have the system interface!? Can you look at the system!?"

The clone seemed still a bit surprised at himself, but then answered through a mind message,

"No, there is no system interface in front of me!"

Hearing that Eric almost exploded from excitement, but he was still able to control himself, as he said with a solemn, and a bit disappointed voice,

"Well, it's to be expected, don't worry about it!"

With that out of the way, he looked at the features of the soul clone and couldn't help but frown a bit.

Besides the fact that his soul clone would take quite a bit of spirit power from him, the characteristics of his body would depend on the original characteristics of the physical body that would choose to possess.

At that moment though Eric didn't care much about that as he was just extremely happy to have achieved the first step.

Not only that but now he also had 50 puppets under his control and one of those puppets even possessed intelligence.

It was such a waste to send his first clone inside a puppet, but he felt that it would be better like that as he could double his experience through fighting.

Without losing time, he immediately ordered his clone to enter that intelligent puppet and go through the tunnel for scouting.

He had read enough novels and other things in order to understand that if something happened to his soul clone, he wouldn't be able to escape unscathed either.

But that was the best choice he had at hand in order to better investigate this place without dying.

As the puppet with his soul clone walked through the tunnel ahead carefully and prudently, Eric got out of the tunnel to meet Ren Jia.

The beauty was barbequing some meat he had left for her before leaving, as the good smell was permeating through his nostrils.

Not only that, but she was also wearing some really revealing clothes at that moment as if she was inside her own quarters.

Seeing her like that, covered in the good smell, and that oozing sweat, there was impossible for Eric to be able to contain himself, as he jumped up on her just like some hungry wolf.

Ren Jia was a bit surprised by the attack, as she didn't consider herself to be in a presentable outfit or situation, but she didn't prevent her Master's wishes.

In fact, she even started to be proactive, in order to better serve her Master making Eric quite happy at the situation.

The fire inside him started burning even more feeling her proactive attitude, but before he could continue to enjoy the situation, he heard a warning inside his head,

! Warning! Puppet 6 has been destroyed! Using 0.0079 Spirit Power to regenerate!

The moment he heard that he immediately sent an order to his soul clone to retreat with as fewer casualties and damages that it could, and report to him.

It was just as he had expected, the deeper he entered this damned tunnel the stronger the puppets became.

It was like jumping into a deep well, the lower he went, the deeper he was. Making him feel extremely complex.

This was most certainly a pain in the ass, as he would need quite some time, and strength to pass through the tunnel, but at the same time, it was a perfect opportunity for him.

The deeper he went, the stronger he would become, as he had those Body Tempering Liquids and the extra Experience inside his body.

In fact, he had enough experience to pass through level 200 like a breeze, but the problem was his physical strength and that damned spirit power.

He felt like keeping a Ferrari or a Maserati in his garage but was unable to bring it outside since he didn't have the permission, or the height to drive them.

As long as he had these puppets though, he would be able to increase his levels, and then enter inside the tunnel and have his battle, and strong experience.

He wasn't worried about the tunnel falling apart because he had already tested its durability and strength. It was quite a sturdy structure.

The reason he had gotten outside the tunnel this time, besides having fun with Ren Jia, was to increase his strength…
