…
Stark was currently asleep, meaning that it was up to the clone to get rid of those 'intruders'.
It had been three hours since Stark fell asleep, and until now… it went pretty well?
The bodies of several monsters could be seen lying around the rock as the clone had successfully killed them all by itself.
Of course, it meant that it had defeated all these monsters while not taking a single hit, its sole objective to protect Stark, nothing else mattered.
Plus, if the clone ever got killed, the aura that would seep inside of Stark's body would immediately awaken him since he would feel the change.
The only downside to such a thing is that the amount of experience Stark would get from using his clone to farm it was extremely low.
[Cannot cheat the system]
It would too easy to just send clones over and over, so there was a limit to how much he would get by using such a method.
Just like the time he used the bonfire to kill enemies from the 'safe zone', it seems like the world itself didn't allow him to cheat.
Stark's clone positioned itself while looking at the winged wolves, ready to take them all.
It had only fought monsters in one on ones up until now, so fighting several opponents could reveal itself to be much harder…
The clone had Stark's intelligence and conscience, meaning that it thought like him, and also used the skills just like he would, which was like it used [Perception] to see the monsters' stats.
'High speed… low defense…' it thought, a trail of aura shining in its eyes.
"AURA SMASH!" it didn't waste time and sent two fists at the wolves, which were taken aback and couldn't avoid it.
"-18371! -16268!" two of them were hit directly while the other two avoided the attack since they were further.
[Enemy stunned]
One of the two wolves fell to the ground as it couldn't flap its wings anymore.
And so the clone took advantage of that while the others were still trying to recover.
"CRIMSON SPEARS," it sent the three spears at the fallen wolf's head, which basically acted as its weakness.
And the three pierced it.
"-27362! -28284! -26837!" it died immediately as holes were left in the places the spears were aimed at.
Then without wasting time, it dashed at the second wolf which had been hit by the crimson fists as its HP was already down.
~FWISH~
"AERIAL ASSAULT!"
"FEROCIOUS BITE!"
One of the two monsters which escaped the crimson attack flew in the air then dived at the clone, attempting to kill it as it sensed that a single attack would be enough.
But…
"INVINCIBLE DODGE!" the clone rolled forward and avoided the wolf's claws, which kept flying as it didn't expect for such a thing to happen.
Then the second one got on its feet and dashed at incredible speed toward the clone, which just looked at it with the same blank and calm expression it always had.
A clone couldn't feel emotions after all… or could it?
~SMASH~
Instead of avoiding the 'Ferocious Bite' from the wolf, it just surrounded its hands with aura and smashed its head.
The momentum sent it flying very far.
"-28372!"
But the clone didn't let go.
"-29329! -27624!" it killed the second wolf, then dashed toward the one that was hit by its crimson fists.
"PARALYZE!" it roared at the clone, as the skill [Paralyze] basically paralyzed enemies if they had just an ounce of fear while looking at them.
But of course…
['Fear' and 'Paralyze' don't work on 'Domination' class]
And anyway, it was a clone, it couldn't sense fear.
So while the wolf was getting ready to use another skill…
The clone smashed its head, killing it instantly.
"-48371!" their weaknesses were their heads, so destroying it was an insta-kill.
"CRIMSON FIST!" then finally, the clone sent two final fists as the last wolf which was just coming after flying too far.
And it was killed.
'…' the clone went back in front of Stark after getting rid of the enemies, its mission wasn't done yet as there were still two hours before waking up its owner.
[You have slain four 'Flying Wolves lv56', gained 28271EXP!]
And of course, the experience was massively reduced as in under normal circumstances, he should have gotten at least 200000.
***
~SHAKE~
'Huh…' Stark slowly opened his eyes, rubbing them after a few seconds.
He sat up, glancing around to find his surroundings eerily quiet.
The clone stood vigilantly nearby after waking up its owner, its eyes meeting Stark's with an unreadable expression.
Stark couldn't help but feel a sense of pride at the clone's success in protecting him while he slept.
"Good job," he smiled before making the clone disappear.
It had been exactly five hours since he slept, and now he felt that his stamina was recovered thanks to that.
Plus… it seemed like nobody had traversed the canyon yet, the odds of a pearl appearing were even lower since someone had already found one after all.
Or at least, that's what he thought.
Because before the clone disappeared, it pointed in the distance at the direction Stark came from.
And there he saw… a group of classifiers marching toward him.
'…?' it hadn't woken him up because the time was up, but because people were arriving!
'Ah shit… need to go!'
Stark quickly stood up, feeling the adrenaline pumping through his veins, then he began running, using the giant rock as some sort of vision-blocker.
He counted the number of classifiers there, and there were at least seven of them.
'How is that possible… aren't pearls rare…?'
…
30 minutes ago, on the other side of the death canyon…
One of the classifiers had finally gotten hold of a pearl, and so just like Stark, they approached the edge of the canyon, and threw it before anyone could do anything.
~FWISH~
They teleported to the other side, then grinned.
And that person was none other than… Stark's brother.
He didn't waste a single second and dashed toward the giant golem's body, using his 'Soul Wielder' heart and powerful [Creation] skill to use the rocks and form a bridge that traversed the entire canyon.
It wasn't obvious, but once someone passed the canyon using a 'TP Pearl', they were basically allowed to use any cheats to go back or to help the others.
After forming the rock bridge, Stark's brother gestured at the members of his group to come while most of the others were too focused on resting or fighting.
And so just like that, the 'Wyver's Wrath' group was able to pass the canyon.
"HEY, WAIT A MINUTE," Jack realized what was happening and tried to use this opportunity to catch up.
But…
~CRACK, CRUMBLE~
The bridge was destroyed the moment all the members passed, they wouldn't allow anyone else but them to get an advantage after all, right?
And so just like that, a group was able to pass, heading toward the final area, and most importantly… toward Stark.
