My SSS-Rank Clone Talent: I Level Up Endlessly!

Even without looking at the description of the skill, Zarek knew exactly the power of what this skill bound to his <Adapt> did.

The world was catering to his Will.

Every breath he took, when he breathed in, the air around him was converging into his nose, and only the freshest of it was being inhaled by him and when he exhaled, the air was going far from him.

Even standing in the air, Zarek didn't need to apply Telekinetic Energy to push his body; instead, it was as if the world itself had created a natural ground underneath him, as if there was a solid ground beneath him.

It was a weird feeling, as if the world itself were your servant, and the servant did everything according to the master's Will.

"Ho." Zarek took another breath and felt his body refresh.

Not only did he breathe in the air but also mana itself. Maybe it was because his mana affinity was already too high, now it had been enhanced even more.

The raw mana circulated inside him and started to converge toward his liver, the location of his mana core.

However, when the mana tried to enter his mana core, it was all rejected by his mana core, which was already filled to the brim.

Zarek was a little bitter about it. He could have gone the ordinary wizard route, but thinking it over, why would he do that for no reason? That would have been foolish, honestly, because he wanted to test his limits. If he wasn't restricted to a single attribute of magic, he could explore further. The only problem was how to advance beyond that.

Suddenly, a thought clicked in his mind, not exactly a thought, but a memory.

He closed his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in his body.

The mana was violently circulating inside him, to the point that he could feel some pain, but it settled just as quickly as it had come.

Then his mind tapped into his <Lightning Mana Core>. This thing was still mysterious to him, as just a single strand produced by it had allowed his hand to become gigantic before.

Suddenly, all the mana inside his body converged toward the <Lightning Mana Core>. In an instant, Zarek felt the effect, his <Lightning Mana Core> was changing rapidly, growing and expanding little by little.

Until now, Zarek hadn't even known where this core was. He could naturally sense it if he wanted to, but couldn't locate it. It was as if it existed in an entirely different dimension.

But now that it was expanding, he damn well knew it wasn't inside his body, it had grown far beyond the limit his body could handle without inflating.

Strange changes were taking place after the <Lightning Mana Core> and his mana merged together, but it would take some time to see the effects.

…

<World Will> Bends the world to your Will.

…

Looking at the description, which basically said water is water and fire is fire, Zarek wanted to roll his eyes, the description only stated the obvious.

For now…

"Hey, reply to me." Zytharia spoke in an even colder tone.

"Hmm?" Zarek turned toward her and raised his brows.

"How did you break out of my pressure?"

"Do you want to know how?" Zarek asked with a mysterious smile on his face, and Zytharia innocently nodded her head.

"Very well, I will show you." He spoke with a deep voice and extended his hand forward.

An invisible pressure spread outward—not his spiritual energy but something else entirely. The world obeyed his Will, and a pressure surged through the surroundings. Zytharia felt the change, and her brows trembled.

"H-how…!?" She spoke with a trembling body, barely showing the disbelief that she was feeling right now.

"This power is similar to the demi-god, no, it is exactly the same…" The more Zytharia murmured, the more her body trembled.

As for the two Telekinetic Paragons, they stood without moving a single inch of their muscles because they really couldn't.

Under the pressure from Zarek, it was extremely difficult to move, like the world was putting pressure upon them.

It was so terrifying and familiar, quite like Zytharia. Of course, her pressure was much stronger than Zarek's.

But being able to do such a feat already filled them with horror beyond words.

A Telekinetic Master is able to put the same pressure as a Demi-god!

The knowledge of this was too frightening.

Aiken and Eden glanced at each other, barely moving their neck muscles, and smiled bitterly.

They both sang the same chorus in their minds though, a bitter thought:

'This brat is monstrous.'

And that was true, they were utterly helpless against the miracle that a youth barely in the ranks of a Telekinetic Master could display.

Not only was he able to resist the Telekinetic energy of a Paragon, but he was able to directly destroy them if they drew close enough.

'I am not even surprised anymore,' Aiken thought with a bitter heart while also feeling honoured. Being able to "kill" this little monster, even though he wasn't dead, undoubtedly filled him with honour.

Eden's anger was instead replaced by fear now: fear of retaliation in the future or even now. The thought of it filled him with a layer of uncertainty that might haunt him in his dreams.

Finally, Zytharia mustered her courage to speak:

"How were you able to do that?"

Zarek was silent for a moment. Then, he took a step in the air, another step—until he stood right before her, his shadow looming over her like a dark omen.

"I adapted to it."

"Adapted?" Zytharia quivered, barely able to believe what she'd heard.

"That's right." Zarek smiled and extended his palm:

"Through your power, I have gained your power."

"J-just…" Zytharia gritted her teeth. Despite Zarek's World Pressure, he was still technically weaker than her even so, the fear in her heart was undeniable.

Her golden eyes locked on him, she grounded her teeth:

"Just what are you?"
