Absolute Necromancer Chapter 150

Doppelganger.

The guy was definitely amazing.

‘Copying everything, what’s the point?’

The ability to copy a climber’s body, abilities, and even items.

That was by no means an ordinary ability.

This means that no matter what situation you are in, as long as you have a moment, you will copy the other person regardless of who they are.

‘This is a guy that should have been caught when it first appeared. But now it’s probably too late.’

The current doppelganger, who has the information of numerous climbers he copied, cannot be easily defeated.

There was no way for me to suffocate with a single blow against a guy who perfectly wielded the abilities of countless climbers.

Even if it were me in a past life, it would have been the same.

But I didn’t care.

Kagagagak-!

As time slowed down, I moved my body casually and thrust my fist towards the doppelganger who was making the same movements as me.

Wood-duk-

The moment he noticed that the arm of the doppelganger blocking his fist was bent abnormally, he immediately threw a kick with his mana.

“Choi Gyeonghun Ryu – Chapter 2, front kick.”

Paang!

A front kick that surges upward from the bottom, tearing through the air barrier and crushing the doppelganger’s head.

However, the doppelganger responded calmly to my attacks.

“…Choi Gyeonghun Ryu – Chapter 4, roundhouse kick.”

Bah!

He was no longer a doppelganger but became ‘Cha Jin-hyuk’ himself.

Of course, if I can do it, he can do it too.

I clicked my tongue at the sight of the guy who was attacking me and using his best defense to block my attack.

My eyes slowly started to feel sore.

Slowly, time begins to return to its original time.

However, if I return to the original time, it means that the doppelganger will also return to the original time.

After thinking that far, as soon as I returned to the original time, I took off the mask and put on the fox mask.

Sigh-

Naturally, the doppelganger followed me and wore a fox mask.

Wood clatter-

The power of the fox mask changes the body.

His lighter body leapt forward like a bullet and made strange movements towards the doppelganger.

The doppelganger copied me almost perfectly, but it was literally ‘almost’.

0.1 second.

Maybe it was a shorter difference of 0.01 seconds, but that was enough.

“Choi Gyeonghun Ryu – Chapter 8, catch.”

“…!!!”

Pop!

The technique that Choi Kyung-hoon once used.

Choi Gyeong-Hoon Ryu – Chapter 8, catch.

The moment the technique, also known as Geumnasu, was unfolded in my hand, I was caught by the hem of the coat of the doppelganger who was approaching me and preparing for the next attack.

It was my coat.

I roughly grabbed the coat, which had the same texture and ability, and picked him up and pinned him down.

Kwaaaaang!

The doppelganger, who was roughly thrown onto the stone cave floor, made an explosion as it hit the hard floor.

A powerful and perfect attack that makes you think the cave is slightly shaking.

but-

Push!

The attack, which was fired in a place filled with stone debris and dust clouds, showed that the doppelganger was fine.

It wasn’t my ability.

It’s probably an ability of one of the many climbers that the doppelganger copied.

However, the dust cloud cleared and the doppelganger that appeared again was the same as before.

“…I admit it, you are definitely stronger than anyone who has come here so far. But that doesn’t mean you’ll win.”

“I don’t need your approval. “If you’re going to admit it, open your chest, take out the core inside, and talk about it.”

“….”

The core of a doppelganger is the source of its composition.

Of course, telling me to reveal it and talk about it meant dying, and I couldn’t talk about it after death.

In other words, I was told to just search.

The doppelganger noticed this and narrowed its eyes and clenched its fists.

“Unfortunately, that won’t work.”

“You don’t have to give it to me. “I will take care of it.”

“It’s nice that you’re so confident.”

“If you looked like me, you would know. I’m always full of confidence. And he has the abilities to match it!”

Kwaduk-pang!

A solid line appeared on the floor of the cave where I stepped.

This happened because I couldn’t overcome the shock that kicked me out of my seat.

My new form hit the ground with enough force to crack the cave floor and rushed towards the doppelganger in an instant.

“Cha Jinhyuk Ryu – Chapter 1, Coin Creation – Devil Coin.”

“Cha Jinhyuk Ryu – Chapter 1, Coin Creation – Devil Coin.”

They use the same abilities with the same voice.

However, the method of using it was different for the first time.

“Devil Fist.”

Kwasik-

I crushed the devil coin in my hand and instantly wrapped my black hand around demonic energy.

I clenched my black hands.

On the other hand, doppelgangers are-

“Magic bullet.”

Taang!

Similar to when using a spiritual bullet, a bullet made entirely of devil coins was fired at me.

Right now-

My fist plunged into the doppelganger’s abdomen, crushing his ribs.

Sloak- Quad-de-duk-!

On the contrary, the doppelganger’s magic bullet passed right through my arm, grinding it apart.

In a situation where each other’s attacks could be fatal to each other, we retreated.

Tadak-

The sound of light footsteps echoed in the cavity, and I glanced to see where Tune and others were.

‘…I don’t think it will help right away.’

Baekjungjise (伯仲之勢).

Since no one is being pushed aside, hoping that they will be of help to me would be close to greed.

‘In the end, I’m the only one dealing with him…It’s been a while since I had an experience like this.’

For me, who always used soul soldiers to fight, it had been a long time since I had seen a battle like this.

Except for the battle with Tune during the guild war, it has been very rare for me to engage in direct combat recently.

In particular, there has never been a situation as tense as now.

But of course, the option of ‘stepping down’ did not exist in my mind.

“…Let’s fight until someone dies.”

“…He seems like a crazy person. “I don’t lose.”

“You’ll have to try it to find out. “Let me tell you one thing: I hunted down all the people who said things like that in front of me.”

I left my seat with a slight smile on my face.

The excitement of battle.

It was a moment that filled my whole body, a feeling that can only be felt when going directly into battle.

* * *

Quad deud deuk-

As the battle continued, the doppelganger did not necessarily take on Jinhyuk’s appearance.

Wizard, thief, archer, etc.

We tried to solve the battle by using various appearances of climbers.

However, the doppelganger’s attack did not properly reach Jinhyuk.

In fact, the biggest damage I received from sharing the attack with Jinhyeok earlier was enough to say the least.

However, Jinhyuk was not relaxed either.

‘It doesn’t feel very good dealing with dozens of people at the same time.’

Also prepared for wizards.

Also prepared for archers.

Preparation against thieves.

Preparedness for warriors.

All contrasts disappear like bubbles once the doppelganger changes appearance.

1 second.

Perhaps, you have to prepare and attack or defend within a shorter period of time.

Because preparing in advance is useless.

My head was spinning and I had to keep my eyes wide open to chase after the doppelganger, who changed his appearance in a split second.

It’s no different from the tremendous fatigue that hit Jinhyuk.

Nevertheless, Jinhyuk did all of those things perfectly.

Tung-! Kwasik!

I shot it lightly, but it caught the heavy arrow shaft in flight and broke it.

Pabababak! Tiding!

He swung his sword and deflected dozens of daggers flying through the air.

None of the attacks were any different from the above.

When magic was thrown, I analyzed it and dispelled it, or if that wasn’t possible, I blocked or avoided it.

No matter what attack the doppelganger attacked, everything was useless in front of Jinhyeok, who was showing excellent concentration.

‘If this is also a weakness, is it a weakness? ‘I don’t have the ultimate ability.’

In the process, Jinhyeok discovered a weakness that was not his doppelganger’s weakness.

There is no single ability that is perfect or at its peak.

This happened because people always just copy other people’s work and have no intention of refining or developing it.

If the doppelganger had messed up his eyes with his extreme dagger skills, Jinhyeok would not have been able to swat all the daggers with just Hoeryong.

That didn’t just apply to daggers.

Arrows, magic, everything was the same.

Since nothing was perfect, Jinhyeok focused his attention and found the perfect way to nullify them.

“…What on earth are you?”

Jinhyeok also tried to smile, even though it was difficult, as he listened to the heavy breathing of his doppelganger.

“Cha Jinhyuk. “It’s just Cha Jin-hyuk.”

It didn’t matter whether it was the Death Star or a ghost.

That you are just yourself.

“I’m also someone who can’t lose to someone like you who can’t identify himself.’

And unlike himself, who thought of himself as nothing but a climber and Cha Jin-hyuk, he had no intention of losing to a doppelganger who took on the appearance and abilities of hundreds of climbers, but whose real self did not exist among them.

Wow-

The doppelganger gritted his teeth at Jinhyuk’s grin.

The true form of a doppelganger is a strange creature without eyes, nose, or mouth.

No matter how many people they take on, they are not doppelgangers.

The doppelganger also knew this well, so it always tried to become ‘me’.

But all those attempts always failed.

The experiment of trying to create oneself by combining other people’s appearances ended up being no different from a rag golem made from other people’s corpses.

He tried to establish himself as one being, but the appearance and abilities of the countless climbers he had already consumed denied it.

In the end, the doppelganger was just a black lump.

Perhaps it is safe to think of it as a mirror.

A mirror that reflects only other people without its own reality.

It was a doppelganger.

“…I am a doppelganger.”

“Yes, a doppelganger who has established himself properly and can’t even answer the question of who I am.”

“…Shut up!”

A loud voice shook the cave.

When Jinhyuk frowns at the roar reminiscent of a lion’s hooves.

“…Yeah, that would be fine. “That’s it.”

The doppelganger seemed to have realized something and muttered while laughing.

Jinhyuk was wary of the doppelganger muttering something unknown to himself.

But even for a moment-

Slowly, slowly, slowly –

The doppelganger began to turn into someone else, just like before.

The end of the shape slowly taking shape was very familiar to Jinhyeok-

“…Is it me again?”

It was a side of Jinhyuk that had already been revealed several times.

Jinhyeok scoffed at the sight of himself having been copied several times during battle.

In the end, I was able to be sure that the doppelganger could not establish itself.

However, Jinhyuk had to distort his face at the doppelganger’s next words.

“I am Cha Jin-hyuk. “Now I become Cha Jin-hyuk.”

“…What kind of nonsense is that?”

“Same face, same abilities, same summons as you. Everything necessary to form a human being exists for me. “Then how can I be sure it’s not ‘yes’?”

“…”

Even if they are identical twins, there are definitely differences.

Subtle facial differences, personality, likes, dislikes, etc.

No matter how similar they are, there are clear differences.

Just what if- just what if-

If you were to see a being in front of you who was identical in everything, could you be sure that that being was not you, and furthermore, that you were not a ‘fake’?

of course-

“Don’t be damned. “I am Cha Jin-hyuk.”

Jinhyuk was sure.

However, there was a separate problem.

“Yes, you are sure. But are the people around you like that?”

“…This bastard.”

Jinhyuk knows that the doppelganger in front of him is not himself, but a copy, and that he is real.

But can Jinhyuk’s colleagues and friends tell them apart?

That was something Jinhyeok wasn’t sure about.

“decided. I become you. I will kill you here, eat your corpse to become even more perfect, then get out of here and climb the tower. “By the side of your colleagues, as Cha Jin-hyuk.”

“…Shut up!”

Coo coo coo coo coo-

There is anger.

Jinhyuk had never experienced anger like this even when someone unleashed his murderous spirit, but now Jinhyuk was spewing out anger on a completely different level than before.

If swallowing yourself whole isn’t enough, you’re acting like that?

It was something no one could tolerate.

“I’ll kill you.”

Fuwaaaaaaa!

Along with the chilling, murderous words, purple-black spiritual power burst out from Jinhyeok’s whole body and filled the cave.

Although it had the power to crush the opponent in an instant, the doppelganger burst into laughter when faced with the overwhelming spiritual power.

The reason was simple.

“Spiritual power. Yes, it was that kind of power. ‘My’ power. Was it written like this?”

Fuwaaaaaaa!

Spiritual power.

The Spirit Master, that is, only Jinhyuk could use it.

Because a doppelganger could also use it.

The moment when Jinhyuk’s purple-black spiritual power that covered the cave and the spiritual power of his doppelganger, who suddenly had a similar size, clashed.

“Foot! Fuhahaha!!!”

“…what? “Have you lost your mind?”

Jinhyuk burst out laughing.

As the doppelganger asked, I didn’t lose my mind.

It was simply because I faced the ‘truth’.

“Hey, you can never be me.”

“…I have everything the same as you. Then I am no different from you…”

Jinhyuk shook his head at the doppelganger, who repeated the exact same words he had just said, and raised his finger and pointed to the ceiling of the cave.

“Yes, if you were exactly like me, as you said, that might have been the case. But if you have eyes, raise your head and look at that. “What makes you think you’re just like me?”

“…What?!”

Different.

That was an incomprehensible word to the doppelganger.

Doppelgangers can copy anything.

Even the smallest habits and way of speaking.

But when he realized that there was a difference between him and Jinhyuk, he hurriedly raised his head and looked at the ceiling.

“…purple?”

“I don’t know if something is wrong, but…At least it seems like you failed to copy ‘the current me’?”

There, it was full of purple spiritual power, not purple-black spiritual power like Jinhyuk.

Obviously, his spiritual power is different from Jinhyeok’s.

Jinhyuk smiled and opened his mouth.

“It seems like all your plans have gone awry, fake.”

“…dog sound. only you…As long as I eat you up, I am real. “I am real!”

Kwak-ga-ga-ga-gak!

With the doppelganger’s angry cry, the purple spiritual power of the doppelganger, which was competing with Jinhyuk’s black and purple spiritual power, moved roughly.

Even in the face of an enormous force that threatened to crush the cave, Jinhyeok calmly clenched his fists.

“I’ll show you what the original is.”

Kwaaaa!!!

At the same time, a more powerful spiritual power than before burst out from Jinhyeok and engulfed the entire cave.

“Realm, all-powerful being.”

Eventually, the inside of the cave was transformed into a space filled with purple-black spiritual power, and only Jinhyuk and his doppelganger were there.

“Okay, let’s finish this now. FALSE.”

“Don’t call me fake. “I am real!”

Even in the face of the doppelganger’s desperate cries, Jinhyeok calmly accepted them.

“The real thing doesn’t claim to be real. Because everyone naturally knows and acknowledges that it is real. That’s the difference between you and me, you fake guy who’s been living a fake life his whole life.”

“…!!!”

Looking at the doppelganger’s face filled with shock, Jinhyeok roughly wielded the nearly infinite spiritual power within the realm.

Haha!!!

The new form of the doppelganger, struck by nearly infinite spiritual power, flew through the air and landed at the edge of the realm.

With that attack, the real and fake hunting began.
