Chapter 218: Jigen Personification
*Screeeeeee...*
Athan pointed his finger towards the giant Falcon with two heads and two pairs of wings and was going to demolish it, but he suddenly heard the sound of his altar spirits.
" Master, We still need two-spirit evolution orbs to reach the third stage of Spirit Armament. "
*Ca..*
The Falcon's body shined in a silverish green hue before it disappeared due to its extreme speed and attacked Athan with its enhanced claws that gleamed with dangerous energy.
But right before the attack, Athan's body shined as a dreamy blue, and high-tech-looking robe appeared on him along with a dark gold barrier.
Both lucent and DeathKnight used their powers. Skylord wasn't late as Third gear: Dominant Welsh Blaster appeared behind Athan. It connected to Athan's back and released its powerful cannon blasters.
*BOOOOM...*
Lucent and DeathKnight blocked the Falcon's attacks before Lucent used its illusion ability to stun the beast, and Skylord blasted it into oblivion.
Athan received one spirit evolution orb, fifty menima crystals, and fifty armament fragments as rewards.
After all, This falcon beast was not a small fry but an elite beast.
" If you three need two more spirit evolution orbs each, then I am short on one right now. Let's continue hunting and see if we encounter a powerful beast that drops one orb before my battlefield gauge is filled. "
Athan's battlefield gauge was filled to 21% after converting all of his armament fragments and defeating some beasts.
" No problem, Master. Let's go. "
...
After two hours...
In the past two hours, they killed many beats, but none rewarded them with spirit evolution orb because they were not elite beasts like Falcon.
" Master...How long until the battlefield gauge is filled? "
" How about this? Lucent and I will take two orbs for now and start our progress. Meanwhile, Skylord can help Master get one more spirit evolution orb. "
Skylord fumed and said, " No! err... " After realizing something, Skylord said to Athan, " Master...it's not like I don't want to help you or stay with you. I...just can't let this bastard DeathKnight get ahead of me. "
Athan was confused and asked, " Did you two fight or something? "
Hearing the question, DeathKnight's smug voice arrived, " Hehehe. We competed on who will finish absorbing spirit evolution orbs faster, and I won. That's why Skylord is behaving like this. "
Suddenly, Athan turned around as he saw a giant flying turtle.
" Alright, Our last spirit evolution orb is here. That flying turtle is giving off Elite beast energy. "
Skylord was overjoyed as it turned into full form and dashed towards the turtle to attack it.
" Idiot. You are no match for that turtle alone. " Athan's light exasperated voice rang out as he also dashed forward.
The winged demonic turtle seemed to be of fire, earth, and air element on the outside. Its body had lava patterns, and its nose looked like two cannons.
Seeing Skylord, The turtle roared and released two plasmic cannon beams from its nose at a breakneck speed.
Skylord's speed was not enough to dodge, and its defensive power was nil, " Shit...I screwed up. "
*Zzzeeeee.....*
Skylord was panicking seeing the beam, but fortunately, Athan put up defensive barriers around Skylord and saved him.
With a guilty expression, Skylord spoke, " Master...I'm sorry. I won't move recklessly ever again. "
Athan reprimanded Skylord as Lucent and DeathKnight sneered.
" Alright, That turtle is coming here while bubbling with destructive energies. Let's finish it off. What's done is done but don't move recklessly again. "
Skylord nodded and turned into its second form: Assault scale mail.
In this form, Athan can still use the first, second, and third gear as long as he has energy.
Without further ado, Athan ignored the turtle's attacks after forming defensive barriers around him and started attacking.
After not even a minute, the giant demonic winged turtle disappeared into white light as Athan received one spirit evolution orb.
Athan then gave two-spirit evolution orbs to each of his altar spirits as they started their training.
Afterward, Athan took out his Jigen persona from his soul realm. After all, He can only keep one Jigen persona.
Sparks of white and silver light bloomed from him before another Athan materialized in front of him.
When Athan received an understanding of this spell through Unima core, He was shocked.
Both Athans were real and had the same powers because...they are connected.
Jigen personification magic spell can create the exact same self as Athan, known as Jigen Persona.
This Jigen persona can use all of his powers because they are connected.
His soul realm, Energy realm, Erudite Palace, Genesis realm, everything was connected to Jigen Person, and that's why his Jigen persona can also use all of his abilities.
In more simple terms, If his Jigen person used a magic spell that consumed his energy, then the energy will be consumed from Athan's real body. He can observe and feel what his Jigen Persona is feeling. That's how deep this connection is.
When Athan breakthroughs, This Jigen persona can still use all of the powers of Athan. This was the plus point. After all, some clone ability requires people to cultivate them by consuming resources. They have to gather more resources to keep both the clone and real self to be on par with each other.
The main thing about this Jigen Persona: He can swap himself with Jigen Persona.
This sounded simple, but it was a powerful and main function of this Jigen Personification spell.
Even if Athan and his Jigen persona are in a completely different space and dimension, he can still swap his body with his Jigen Persona.
In the next layer, He planned to let his Jigen Persona move separately. Whatever Jigen person gets, He will also get it since they are connected.
After taking out his Jigen Persona, Athan went inside the special space and let his Jigen Persona move freely to defeat beasts and fill up the gauge.
Meanwhile, He planned to fill up the third branch of the genome tree while waiting for his altar spirits to be done with their training.
After sitting crossed-legged, Athan closed his eyes.
Inside his soul realm, His new soul body started to train with his sub soul to extract dark purple energy from the vortex on top of the Genome tree.
After a second of training, Athan was delighted to find that his speed of extracting the purple energy from the vortex increased.
Even after these months, His sub-soul only managed to fill 2% of the third branch.
After calculating for a second, Athan muttered, " If I actively fill up my third branch, Then it will take a bit more than three years. But...Unfortunately, I can't dedicate the main soul body to train because if I did that, I wouldn't be able to progress...wait. "
He suddenly got an idea. It was true that if he dedicated his main soul body to work for his progress in the Genome tree, He can't fight and progress.
" But...Now that I have Jigen Persona, The only thing I have to do is to advance in my Plane's sub-stages and breakthrough. I can let my other self do most of the fighting and resource gathering while I progress in my third branch of the genome tree. "
Athan nodded with a smile as he felt that this idea was feasible.
