Chapter 6: Endless Troubles

Seeing [Durandal] in front of me, I hurriedly looked in my [Inventory] and found that I still have my own [Durandal].

Weird...did I, perhaps...encountered a glitch?

That was the first thought I had since something similar happened to a game I used to play before.

In that game, the unique sword the boss used was supposed to be the reward but during the fight, I used a disarming skill and the sword dropped. After killing the boss, I still received the same sword, causing me to have two not-so-unique-anymore swords.

But this isn't a game...well, not anymore. Though there are still a bit of it...not everything is like a game. People die when killed now unlike when this used to be called [World Gate Online].

I took out my [Durandal] so as to compare it with the one inside the pillar of light but...suddenly, the light expanded outwards!

Instantly, everything around me became blank, as if I somehow stumbled in a blank world.

Looking back, I can no longer see the exit of the cave. As for the other [Durandal]...it is now in the hands of another person.

This person has white hair, red eyes, wore a long one sleeved black overcoat with a grey thin cross on his left chest and a metallic right arm...hey! Isn't that me!?

What the hell...don't tell me this is one of those things were I have to beat myself?

Task #2: Your greatest enemy is yourself, surpass yourself and you will be the strongest!

No shit!

It's actually like that oi! And what's with that suspicious line!? Why does it sound as if to deceive people!?

The greatest enemy is yourself. So if you beat yourself, then that means you're the strongest!? Then what about the 'you' who had surpassed your 'past you'? Doesn't it mean that you will still need to constantly surpass yourself? This is basically a con to make people train harder!

Sigh...this is so stupid...let's just get this over with.

Let's test some things...

I shot a ball of fire towards the other me, thinking that this will be the type that will copy my moves but instead, he dodged to the side and started charging at me.

Suddenly, a huge transparent black claw appeared on his left and hurled it at me.

Well then, me too. [Dragon Claw]!

The two claws collided. At first, I thought it was equal in strength but...the other me was actually pushed back!

Ehhh? What's with this? Aren't I too weak?

...No, wait...recently, I've been integrating my comprehensions in my skills...

Normally, when I punch, it's just a punch. But after [Zoulang], I found that there is a deep profundity in punching. Well, if I had to name it, then maybe it can be called as [One with the Fist] or something.

Anyway, by habit, I used that comprehension on similar skills. [Dragon Claw] is one of them so naturally, it's stronger than normal.

Hmm...so that's how it is. This trial is only able to copy my skills that belonged to [Harus] and was unable to copy enlightenments and the dao or something from other worlds.

It's like...each world has their own [Laws]...which means...someone like me who has been to other worlds is...
