「Hm~m, that’s a convenient technique ssu. In summary it’s clone created using soul magic ssu, but in exchange of only able to create one the clone can perform with a spec that surpass even the original body……it’s like that thing master like ssu isn’t it?」
“That thing” referred to the avatar of the completely immersive magical VR game. Naturally, there the user could also become another character and fiddled with its specs.
Yes, Ghost here wasn’t the actual person. His real body was at the deepest part of the building even now. From there, he was controlling his indestructible clone as long as his magic power hadn’t run out.
Of course, the clone’s spec couldn’t be too deviating from the real body like in a game. The clone also couldn’t use magic that the real body hadn’t learned. But, in case where it was something that he had the foundation to do but his technique couldn’t keep up, he was able to perform the ideal movement based on his imagination.
And the greatest aspect of this clone body was that regardless of it merely being a clone, it wouldn’t vanish even after receiving lethal attack and could be repaired immediately. It wasn’t a real body, so if he felt like it the clone was able to pass through attack to some degree.
The real body was sharing its five senses with the clone body so he was still feeling pain and impact, but the damage itself wasn’t transmitted back to the real body. Even if the clone was completely destroyed, it could be revived as many as times as he liked as long as the main body wasn’t defeated.
And, what was nasty here was being a master of soul magic, it became difficult to detect him down to the soul level if he seriously erased his presence.
The most difficult man to kill in the calamity world. That was Ghost.
「What’s more you can also directly affect the target’s soul whether it’s to destroy, tear apart, etc……even in the hell world you have enough strength to call yourself a demon king ssu.」
Originally, it was difficult to forcefully destroy the target’s soul even if one could use soul magic.
Because as it were “soul” was like “water” that was poured into the “vessel” called flesh body to the brim.
Even if the soul magic user could deal impact to cause ripple, turn the vessel inside out to make the content leak, or perhaps pouring water of different color to muddy the water, destroying or splitting the water itself couldn’t be done. Even if the water was blown away or temporarily split apart, it wouldn’t vanish to nothing.
That was the image of soul magic.
The exception was when the flesh body died. When soul lost its connection with the flesh body it became unable to maintain its shape. Like liquid becoming vapor and dispersed.
Conversely speaking, while soul was connected to flesh body, in short while the flesh body was alive, soul was originally just that flexible and tough.
And yet, Ghost directly destroyed soul while it was still residing inside flesh body.
That was none other than the proof that he was at a level that had reached the essence of soul magic.
「Although, it looks like you can’t do it unless you hit the target with magic power that contain your duplicated soul and make it seep inside first ssu. It looks like it also won’t work unless you increase the amount you shot in proportion to the energy the target contain ssu, and the time required for the seeping in will also increase in proportion to that isn’t it ssu? Furthermore, you’re defenseless in the meanwhile ssu. In other words, it’s a technique that is best used against lower ranked opponent isn’t it ssu?」Ch 551
