Free Web NovelChapter 103: Chapter103-Void Doppelgänger
Spatial Giant Scorpions, Void Hounds, Silver-Armored Giant Lizards...
John casually dealt with them one by one. Not a single monster could withstand one strike from his sword.
But as he continued walking, his brows gradually furrowed.
After all this time, he still had not seen a single Spatial Elephant.
"Looks like wild monsters that can drop Mount Eggs really are rare. Relying on this mountain range to monopolize the mount market might be a little difficult."
John shook his head and continued forward.
A few minutes later, his footsteps suddenly stopped.
Not far ahead, a silver giant lizard far larger than ordinary ones was lazily lying on a massive boulder. Its eyes were half-closed, and its breathing carried a low rumbling sound of wind.
Dense spatial ripples flowed across its scales, and the pressure emanating from its body was far beyond ordinary wild monsters.
John cast Detection Spell.
[Void Silver Lizard King (BOSS)]
[Skills]: Void Bite, Silver Scale Shield, Spatial Shockblast, Destructive Breath
[Description]: The king of the Void Silver Lizard race. A thin trace of void dragon bloodline flows within its body.
The corners of John’s lips curved slightly.
An A-Rank BOSS, Lv.210.
Outside, it would be enough to wipe out a small guild. But to the current him, it was no different from a roadside monster.
The Silver Lizard King also seemed to sense his aura. It suddenly opened its eyes, its scarlet vertical pupils locking firmly onto John.
A low growl rumbled from its throat. Its massive body arched slightly, and the spatial ripples across its scales suddenly became violent.
John was too lazy to wait for it to attack first.
He did not even draw Space Sever. He merely flicked his finger, and a pale-blue Voidblade Gale swept out.
The sword wind accurately pierced through the Silver Lizard King’s head.
[-2,847,218!]
A horrifying damage number floated above the Silver Lizard King’s head. Its HP was instantly emptied, and its massive body crashed to the ground, shaking up clouds of dust.
[You have killed a Lv.210 Void Silver Lizard King (A-Rank BOSS). EXP +210,000, gold coin +2,100, Reputation +21,000!]
The system notification rang.
John slowly stepped forward. His gaze fell on the Silver Lizard King’s corpse, and he raised his hand.
[You have devoured the corpse of a Lv.210 Void Silver Lizard King. Free Attribute Points +210!]
[You have obtained A-Rank Skill: Spatial Silver Shield x1!]
"Spatial Silver Shield?"
John raised an eyebrow slightly and opened the skill panel to take a look.
[Spatial Silver Shield]
[Effect]: Consumes 10% MP to condense a spatial shield around the body, capable of blocking one instance of high damage.
While the shield exists, damage received is reduced by 50%.
Cooldown: 120 seconds.
...
John looked at the attribute panel of Spatial Silver Shield and nodded slightly.
An A-Rank life-saving skill. Although it could not compare to his Beast God Domain, its advantage lay in its low cost and short cooldown. At a critical moment, it could still serve as an extra layer of insurance.
He casually learned the skill. Only then did his gaze fall on the second gain.
[Void Doppelgänger]
[Effect]: Consumes 50% MP to summon a Void Doppelgänger that can exist permanently.
The doppelgänger possesses 50% of the summoner’s full attribute values. Only one can exist at a time.
[Note]: After the Void Doppelgänger kills 100 A-Rank or higher wild monsters, or 10 A-Rank or higher BOSSes, it can be upgraded to S-Rank.
"Upgradeable?"
John’s eyes lit up slightly.
Unlike Spatial Silver Shield, this skill actually had room to grow.
What was even rarer was that it had no cooldown. As long as he had enough MP, he could summon it at any time.
With a thought, spatial ripples spread around him. A silver-white light peeled away from his body and rapidly condensed into another "John."
After the light faded, an identical figure stood before him. Its expression was calm, its gaze hollow. Clearly, it had no self-awareness.
John looked his doppelgänger up and down.
From appearance alone, there was no difference at all. But the doppelgänger merely stood there blankly, like a soulless statue.
"No self-awareness... Not surprising. After all, it’s only an A-Rank skill."
Once it was upgraded to God-Rank in the future, perhaps it might even develop independent consciousness.
Just as he was thinking this, a silver-white spatial rift suddenly flew over from the distance, aiming straight for John’s back.
Before John could move, the Void Doppelgänger’s expression suddenly sharpened.
In the next second, its figure disappeared.
When it reappeared, it was already standing in front of John. Its right hand reached out and directly grabbed that spatial rift.
The moment the rift touched the Void Doppelgänger, it silently dissolved and was absorbed like mud sinking into the sea.
Immediately afterward, the Void Doppelgänger took one step forward, and its figure disappeared again.
In the distance, a Void Hound hiding behind a massive rock had not even had time to react before a fist wrapped in spatial power smashed into its head head-on.
[-280,791!]
The instant the damage number floated up, the Void Hound’s HP was directly emptied.
[You have killed a Lv.45 Void Hound. EXP +45,000...]
The system notification rang inside John’s mind.
Wild monsters killed by the Void Doppelgänger counted under his name.
After the doppelgänger succeeded in one strike, it used another spatial traversal and returned to John’s side, once again resuming its expressionless, blank appearance.
"Although it has no self-awareness, its combat instincts are pretty good."

[Void Doppelgänger]
The panel was clean and neat.
John noticed that the doppelgänger’s attributes did not benefit from his equipment bonuses. Its base values were fixed at half of his main body’s attributes.
With a thought, he dismissed the doppelgänger.
Then he tried again. This time, he first activated Beast God Domain to increase all his attributes before summoning the Void Doppelgänger again.
As expected, the doppelgänger’s attributes were still uniformly 50,000. They did not move at all.
John withdrew the Void Doppelgänger and looked at the clusters of light scattered beside the Void Silver Lizard King’s corpse.
With a wave of his hand, spatial power surged, and several clusters of light flew toward him.
[You have obtained Void Silver Lizard Armor x1!]
[You have obtained Void Silver Lizard Battle Helm x1!]
[You have obtained Void Silver Lizard Leggings x1!]
[You have obtained gold coin x1,000!]
John casually took out one item and glanced at its attributes.
[Void Silver Lizard Armor]
[Base Attributes]: Physical Defense +680, Magic Defense +520
[Additional Attribute]: Constitution +600
A-Rank equipment.
Outside, this could be considered a minor top-tier item.
The three attributes were fairly standard, but there were no percentage bonuses. To John, it was no different from blank gear.
He casually threw it into the depths of his backpack. As for the other two pieces, he did not even bother looking at them before putting them away as well.
The 1,000 gold coins were at least practical.
Although it was not worth mentioning compared to his current wealth, even a mosquito’s leg was still meat.
John clapped his hands and looked toward the place where the Void Silver Lizard King had just died.
Based on his experience from his previous life, a BOSS of this level should have been guarding some kind of special treasure.
