I Can Copy And Evolve Talents

Chapter 329  Reborn

If Northern was seeing correctly, this would mean that he could clone not just himself but clone other things?

He could clone items, clone maybe humans?

He shook his head at the thought of that last one.

'No, it wouldn't be that strong. If not, that will just make me a broken individual like Raven'

But even after clearing his mind on the agenda, he couldn't help but linger on it for a while. Because it'd be overwhelming if he really could.

There was no way to know except to test it out.

'Ah, shit,'

Northern suddenly looked around himself, bug-eyed.

He had been in this place relishing his growth while Raven was desperately fighting and protecting him from a ton of monsters.

'C'mon Northern!' He screamed to himself internally, immediately recomposing himself.

He stood still and steadily breathed, then closed his eyes, clenched his fist.

He could feel a lot of nervousness flowing through him right now and honestly, he couldn't even pinpoint the exact reason.

Was it because he was so excited for himself? Or because he was thinking of what to do and how to do it?

'Should I just go simply with the flow or be the flow, overwhelm everything.' Northern thought.

So far so good, Northern had been trying to—in his words—go with the flow. He had been trying his best to keep things to a minimal level without putting himself or his power out there.

He wasn't hiding, he just wasn't showing it either, and that had led him to many discrepancies and inconsistencies in what even he would have expected.

Night Terror definitely wouldn't have been proud if he saw how he lived his life.

So Northern wanted to choose right.

Firstly, he wanted to get his priority straight.

'I still want to go home…I want to go to the Central Plain and meet my parents. But Helena was right. I have to focus on getting stronger now that I have the ample resources to, the moment I step into the Central Plain, I don't know what would be happening, who would be coming for me. Crap, I could even put my whole family in danger and fail to protect them, which is why… I must focus on getting stronger.'

He sighed and nodded.

"Yes, let's make that our priority. Strength at all cost, I will become so strong, to protect my family, to protect myself and have a voice in the world, not for some special reason of course, but for the comfort of myself and those that I love."

He gently placed his hand on his chest as he said those words.

He was making sure they were ingrained in his heart. So, he wouldn't stray from this goal, even when he does, he wanted to be reminded again.

Northern opened his eyes afterwards, and when he did.

He was reborn. Eyes radiating with azure light and fiercely burning with overwhelming resolve.

The aura of resolve that he exuded could literally drown a timid-minded person.

He was different in an instant. Nothing about his physical presence had changed.

But it was just amazing how much a person could be different just because they now have a purpose.

Northern had finally found purpose, determination and a reason.

He was not sure how things would be going forward. But he was sure what he needed to do going forward.

He sighed and blinked. Then his scenery changed.

With that blink, Northern was back to reality.

All around him was cleared, bodies of monsters lay strewn on the ground, a fiery lady shimmering with light moved like waves in a circle, and blood sprayed into the sky in praises of her movement.

Raven was viciously laying waste to any monster that dared to enclose the opening she was creating while also destroying and pushing them further.

She had done away with a massive amount of them, but the rest was not a number to be overlooked either. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Northern breathed steadily and slowly stood up, he leaned on his knee and coughed a little bit before finally standing.

The moment he coughed, Raven stopped in her tracks and swung her head backwards.

A delighted smile adorned her face as she watched him straighten his back.

She could feel it likewise. The difference in his presence, this was not just a situation of something had changed within him.

It was like, he had finally found that missing piece of himself.

Most likely, he had checked what he came here to check. Excited and happy, she turned away and lashed her sword downward, separating one monster into vertical halves with one of her blades.

Northern sighed and looked at his hand, he was about to materialize his swords but suddenly paused and muttered:

"No, there should be a much faster and easier way to do this…"

A small smile graced his lips as he thought about it.

Then he turned his head slightly over his shoulder and said to Raven,

"Why don't you give me a little space to take care of this?"

Raven stopped and quickly jumped back. She had a slightly doubtful expression on her face.

Of course, she knew he was different and all, he had become stronger and not that, his eyes were different.

But still, he was only a Nomad now, not even a Master. Raven was not sure about just doing…

"Don't worry, just fly here." Northern said solemnly with a smile.

The sound of his tone, the surety that rang with him made Raven's face freeze with surprise.

A second later she nodded and muttered:

"Hmm,"

Then she materialized her shield and took off into the sky, watching what Northern would do from above.

Sura was also watching from the castle, muttering in pity:

"Leaving him to his death?"

Immediately Raven was out of the picture, all the monsters' focus fell on Northern.

And without a waste of moment, they all dove towards him, with their weapons raised for a vehement kill.

Northern stood there, feet grounded and head slightly bowed, then he slowly raised his head and looked directly to the grand palace balcony.

Sura suddenly shivered, feeling cold tingling as Northern's gaze shot directly at him from that distance.

"What? You dare?" A vicious grin curled the corner of his lips.

"Insolent human… I will personally see to it that you suffer in the volcano before you are slain." He said, gritting his teeth.

His genteel face was overturned by fury, turned gloomy and dark.

Northern meanwhile just stood there and spread both arms forward.

Then silently said:

"Black Flame…"
