Legendary Architect of Apocalypse

She attacked the person behind her, killing him as well. She didn't want to take any risks. Only after killing him did she look back and see the person who had appeared behind her.

Looking at him, she was again at a loss. The person looked completely identical to Elias. There wasn't even the smallest difference. Moreover, the second Elias was also bleeding.

It was impossible for there to be two Elias. No, had there really been two in the first place? The moment she thought about it, her expression darkened.

Did Elias really survive her first two spear attacks? What if the two attacks were successful and had killed him? It meant she had already killed four of them, but none of them were real.

"Where are you hiding?" she roared, her voice spreading far and wide.

She didn't know how Elias possessed so many abilities in the first place. He could erase his presence and even lower his weight to avoid leaving any footprints. He also seemed to have incredible strength. And now, he also had this ability to create what looked like clones?

Normally, a person only had two abilities after they awakened. Only after their future evolutions did they receive more abilities related to their classes. So how could someone from an Auxiliary Class have so many abilities when he had only awakened a few days ago?

"Stop hiding like a coward! Didn't you want to kill me?!" Lilian's voice grew even louder as she started rising into the air to get a better view of her surroundings.

Moreover, as long as she was in the air, Elias couldn't appear behind her to attack. It was much safer in the sky than it was on the ground.

While Lilian screamed at the top of her lungs, someone was keeping an eye on her.

About five hundred meters away, a young boy lay on the cold snow. His body, mostly covered by it, blended into the surroundings.

In front of him, there was a sniper rifle that was constantly aimed at Lilian.

'Just as I thought... She can sense the presence of people around her. It's like some kind of domain, but it doesn't seem to expand too far or she would've sensed me.'

'Still, a surprise attack is useless. And her ability allows her to escape death by turning into an ice statue. There seems to be only one solution. She needs to be killed before she can even sense danger.'

Elias had a good idea about Lilian's tricks, at least the ones she had revealed so far. For now, his experiments seemed to be going well, but he was far from complete success.

'If I had more time on my hands, it would've been better to conduct more experiments. But for now, I can't give her time. I have to go by the data I have collected so far.'

"All of you go and attack her," he said. "Distract her and buy me some time."

The moment he spoke, multiple clones of his rushed towards the destroyed cliff from every direction. There were over twenty of them, their presence surprising Lilian.

All of them used a different ability as they attacked Lilian, who was in the sky. There was even one that could fly and attack from above.

Looking at their attacks, Lilian was also at a loss. How did they have so many abilities? Moreover, these abilities felt awfully familiar to the temporary abilities that were granted to the people of this world for this test.

"I really hope one of you is real." Lilian also grew serious as frost armor appeared around her body.

A beautiful robe appeared around her body, made from the ice dragon's skin, which strengthened her defense even more. The real battle had begun as she tried to kill every Elias that appeared before her.

Meanwhile, the real Elias remained far away from the battle. Still, he could feel the impact of the battle.

His clones were being killed left and right, and Lilian seemed to be enjoying it. No matter how many abilities they had, they couldn't compete with the Frost Queen. Temporary abilities were just that... weaker versions of their real counterparts.

Moreover, Lilian had lived for over a century. She had been teaching at the academy for a long time. If she didn't even know how to counter these temporary abilities, then it would've been more surprising.

"This clone creation ability is quite useful. It helped me get a lot of useful data. The only flaw seems to be that the clones don't have my traits or class. They are like normal humans. But for me, that isn't a problem."

The moment he received the temporary cloning ability, he had already planned everything. He didn't use the ability cores on himself. Instead, he used the ability cores on the clones, giving one to each of them.

Even after that, he knew that they weren't strong enough to challenge the Frost Queen. But he didn't want that in the first place. He simply used the clones for two reasons.

The first reason was to get more data on the Frost Queen, her abilities, and fighting patterns to make sure that there were no flaws in his main plan. As for the next reason, it was even simpler.

He used these clones to distract her so she couldn't see the real thing that was coming, even if she had a domain. Her domain was overwhelmed by so many presences and attacks. There was no way for her to see every small thing in her domain now.

It was the perfect opportunity that he had been waiting for. He stabilized his breathing as his fingers moved to the trigger of the sniper rifle.

He knew that a sniper rifle wasn't enough to kill someone like the Frost Queen, but that was only when it was an ordinary rifle.

He had already ensured that the sniper rifle wasn't ordinary anymore.
