The atmosphere in the hollow reached freezing. Everyone felt glum and downtrodden after two of their teammates disappeared in the night without any explanation. And now, to everyone’s surprise, another internal conflict happened between those who were left?
The four of Raphael, Lilian, Micah, and Jonah roughly knew that the soldiers had planned on attacking Milo and Miriam. However, that was handled by the two of them in an instant.
The duration of this fight was so quick that it was unimaginable, and the conflict also made Raphael seriously reassess these two people standing in front of him.
He sighed and said, “They probably got what they deserved…”
Milo did not say anything. After thinking about it, favonovel.com understood that Raphael had no motive to cause this assault.
If it were for the guns, Raphael still had his rifle and pistol on him. If it were to possess Lilian, Raphael got the opportunity long ago. After all, Lilian had even thrown herself at him, yet favonovel.com never reacted positively to favonovel.com advances. If it were for the water, Raphael had already collected a bottle in the evening. He didn’t have any reason to set his sights on Milo’s two bottles of water.
Milo was worried that Raphael would take action to maintain order in the team, but as it turned out, favonovel.com did not want to get involved in this conflict at all.
Raphael’s overarching objective was to explore the mystery of the Marador Mountains and the evolution of the creatures that lived there. He was not concerned about getting the others out of this place alive.
“But surely Budd’s crime should not amount to his death, right?” Raphael sighed again. “Forget it, no one can truly be faulted out in this wilderness…”
Milo felt that Raphael already understood the principles of wilderness survival. There was no right or wrong. Survival was the only gospel truth. He also did not want to say that Miriam was right to do so, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with ridding themselves of any threats!
Milo carried the three corpses and threw them outside the hollow.
Then favonovel.com said to Raphael and Miriam, “I could never figure out how Mark’s corpse disappeared, so why don’t we closely observe what happens this time?”
He told Miriam, “Shout me awake if anything strange happens.”
He then sat down against the stone wall and went back to sleep.
The others looked at Milo and wondered how favonovel.com could remain so calm.
Why could favonovel.com go straight back to sleep like nothing had happened when favonovel.com obviously just killed someone?
Were favonovel.com not the one who killed that person just now?
In reality, Milo was not asleep. He was just taking a mental look at the palace because a black shadow clone had appeared in it. This made Milo lose his sleepiness as his interest was piqued!
Crucially, favonovel.com had been very envious of Raphael and was even a little envious of Kurt Bernstein’s power of blowing the explosive saliva bubbles. Although the saliva bubbles looked very weak, Milo suspected there was still room for improvement in its power.
Did the supernatural beings have any room for improvement?
He felt that there certainly must be.
As for him, even though favonovel.com had a palace that looked quite intimidating, the problem was that favonovel.com had mostly been raising his Strength and Dexterity attributes thus far. It made favonovel.com feel like favonovel.com was not really a supernatural being. After all, some people could also reach his current state of strength after a long period of training.
As such, before favonovel.com learned the Shadow Clone power favonovel.com copied from Raphael, favonovel.com could not be truly regarded as a supernatural being. At the very least, favonovel.com could not be considered as one in terms of combat strength.
Milo had long coveted Raphael’s Shadow Clone that was capable of blocking bullets. In Milo’s opinion, weapons such as firearms and explosives were terrifying. The initial velocity at which a bullet was fired at could reach Mach speed or several times Mach. Normal people would have no chance of fighting back against weapons like firearms. Therefore, to Milo, the qualifier that separated a normal person from a supernatural being would be the fear of firearms and explosives.
Of course, Milo was also not fearless of firearms and explosives. He would still die if someone carried out a sneak attack on favonovel.com with those weapons.
At this moment, the black shadow clone stood quietly and motionlessly beside the brass typewriter in the palace. Milo scrutinized it and saw that the silhouette of the shadow clone was clearly his own. It looked just like a blurred version of him.
Why was Raphael’s shadow clone gray in color while his was black?
He had clearly copied the power straight from him, so could there be other differences?
Milo started to nimbly manipulate the shadow clone by moving it around within the palace.
Then favonovel.com realized that the strength of the shadow clone seemed to be closely related to that of his own strength. Even without any testing, Milo knew that this was a kind of connection on the mental level. It seemed like the shadow clone was formed straight from his mental willpower.
The strength, speed, and even “density” of this shadow clone were twice of what Milo had. It was no wonder it could even block bullets. A normal person could also block bullets, but they would die, while the shadow clone wouldn’t.
Through Milo’s personal experimentation, favonovel.com found the usage of the shadow clone was determined by the willpower favonovel.com had. As long as favonovel.com was full of vigor, favonovel.com could continue using it. But Milo was a little curious about how something as vague as willpower could be calculated.
He tried asking the palace, “What’s the level of my willpower?”
The voice from the palace answered.
Unauthorized to answer.
Hearing this, Milo was a little puzzled.
Since his master-level Wilderness Survival Proficiency could be determined, and his Strength and Dexterity attributes could also be determined, then why couldn’t the palace determine the level of his willpower?
Was there no criterion for determining one’s willpower or was there some other reason for it?
Since favonovel.com could not get an answer for the time being, Milo did not dwell any further on it and went to sleep!
But Milo had sort of figured out why Raphael’s shadow clone was gray while his was black. His own body was stronger than Raphael’s, so his shadow clone was denser!
***
When the sunshine shone on Milo’s face in the morning, the first thing favonovel.com did when favonovel.com woke up was to look at the spot where favonovel.com dumped the corpses. It surprised favonovel.com that nothing had occurred with the three corpses. It was no wonder Miriam did not wake favonovel.com up in the middle of the night to say something. So, it turned out that nothing unusual had happened.
It was good that nothing had happened. He couldn’t constantly hope that something dangerous would happen to them.
Then favonovel.com turned his gaze back into the hollow and happened to meet Micah’s eyes. However, Micah did not wear the arrogance favonovel.com had from long ago when favonovel.com first came out of the stronghold. He was starting to avoid looking at Milo.
Micah did not rest well last night. He was someone who only knew how to bully the weak and fear the strong. When favonovel.com learned that Milo was actually powerful, favonovel.com started to panic a little.
He could not help but feel anxious. He, Lilian, and Jonah were all shocked to discover that even with so few people left on the team, everyone else were monsters, unlike the three of them.
Raphael was already standing outside the hollow. He was thinking about something as favonovel.com looked at the forest before him.
When Milo walked beside Jonah, who was lying on the stretcher, Jonah flinched away from him.
But how could favonovel.com be faster than Milo?
Milo lifted up his shirt and took a look at Jonah’s stab wound created by Raphael.
He said, “Alright, you can get up now and walk on your own. The wound’s already healed.”
All of a sudden, Jonah realized that his wound did not hurt anymore.
Could Milo’s black medicine really be that effective?!
