Chapter 73 Clone
Demon Lords not only have soul crystals, but can also obtain a lot of materials from demons. Although these demons entered the Blue Star by possessing humans, they are not their original bodies, but they have been transformed into demons under the influence of demon power. However, this kind of demon material is not as good as the output of the demon body.
After returning to the Mage Tower, Richard found that he had too many things to do, including the construction of the second phase of the Mage Tower, the repair of the half plane, the rune engraving workshop, the cultists' fishing, and teaching a few people to learn magic. Oh, and he also had to find time to have friendly exchanges with Cathway and others. He was simply a master of time management.
In order to reduce the workload, Richard decided to create a clone to help.
Richard took out various materials from the storage ring and arranged a nine-pointed star array. He then placed the high-level soul crystal he had just obtained in the center of the rune array and drew energy from the energy pool. Along with the surge of magical power, golden arcane light rose.
——【Advanced cloning technique (extremely effective spell)! 】
In the golden arcane light, a figure quickly appeared, and then the figure kept changing. After about a few breaths, a person who looked exactly like Richard appeared in the rune array.
Then he divided his spirit into two parts, one remained in his main body, and the other was responsible for controlling his clone.
It feels like one person controlling two machines. A spellcaster without sufficient mental strength cannot do two things at the same time.
There is no limit on the number of clones, what limits the number of clones is the spiritual power.
The cloning technique was originally developed by arcanists to save themselves from being killed. After creating a clone, the clone will be sealed in a life support chamber and sleep. If the arcanist is fatally injured, the pre-set spell will be triggered and the clone will be resurrected.
This resurrection method is very similar to the lich's life box. As long as his clone is not found, he cannot be completely killed. Of course, the equipment cannot be taken away. If the spell is well prepared, the resurrected clone will hardly lose any power.
After years of development, arcane magicians have found many other uses for cloning. For example, the book "The Art of Magic" that was banned by the Arcane Council mentioned the method of enjoying double happiness through cloning.
Of course Richard said that he had no idea about it and had never read the book.
The most common use of cloning is to create a clone. Compared to [Simulation], cloning inherits more power and has almost no restrictions. It can inherit 6% of the original body's strength (Simulation can obtain up to % of the original body's strength), and even if the clone dies, it will not cause any impact on the original body.
According to Richard's 18th level spellcasting, his clone possesses 15% of the original's power, which is roughly equivalent to a th level arcanist.
Of course, the spellcasting level is 15, but the challenge level is not 15. After all, Richard has inherited all the spell expertise, legendary spell expertise and various combat skills. If he is equipped with a set of equipment, the challenge level will definitely be above 18, and if he is equipped with an iron golem, the challenge level will reach 20.
With a clone, a lot of work can be assigned to the clone, and he will suddenly have a lot of free time.
Richard handed over the second phase of the Mage Tower project and the work of repairing the demiplane to his clone, while he himself was responsible for rune engraving and fishing with the cultists.
Richard unified the cults near New York State into a sect, with a total of 5,000 to 6,000 members, including 500 to 600 devout believers. When they have accumulated enough faith, the gods and demons will try to descend. After they harvest souls, the "fruit" Richard needs will be ripe. On the list in Richard's hand, the largest number of cultists is actually in California.
Coming to California again, Richard talked with Monica and Nicole for another night, and then began to prepare to find those cultists. Los Angeles is very big, the second largest city in America, with a population of more than 20 million and a developed economy. If this is in the flower-growing country, this kind of city should be very prosperous, and the downtown area should be the most prosperous and lively place.
But in America it's completely the opposite. The downtown area of Los Angeles is a slum with all kinds of gangs rampant, and the rich live in the suburbs or Beverly Hills.
Richard's destination is a civilian community, which is also the largest gathering place of cults in Los Angeles. Richard doesn't care about the life and death of these cult members. In fact, there are few normal cult members among them. For him, this is a waste utilization.
After giving a group of cultists a "divine revelation", Richard was in a good mood and was ready to find something to eat and then go to the next location. But at this moment, he suddenly felt the power of time around him.
"Someone is manipulating the power of time." Richard, who has the blood of the Time Dragon, is very sensitive to the power of time, and the power of the Time Dragon makes him immune to some people's time spells. For example, the Nine Rings Spell [Time Stillness] is ineffective against him. And the power he feels now is very similar to time acceleration.
Richard quickly locked onto the location, his figure flashing with magic, and he instantly appeared nearby. As soon as he appeared here, Richard felt a force of time running fast. He immediately realized that this was [Time Acceleration], and immediately cast the spell of Time Acceleration.
Everything around him suddenly stopped in Richard's perception, and at this moment, he saw a little boy about eleven or twelve years old with silver-white hair running into a cake shop next door, then quickly packed a cake and ran out of the shop.
Seeing this scene, Richard was also slightly stunned. Such a little boy could actually use the power of time!
The little boy ran out of the store and ran directly to the street next to him. At this moment, the power of time on him also ended. The people around him did not notice anything that had just happened and continued to do their own things.
The little boy carried the cake and walked skillfully through the streets. After passing two blocks, he came to a shabby-looking house.
"Come here, sister, and see what I brought back." The little boy shouted happily as he entered the room.
A little girl with red hair about the same age as him came out. Seeing the cake in the boy's hand, she asked excitedly, "Brother, is this a cake?"
"Yes, today is your birthday, I got it specially for you." said the little boy.
"Brother, did you use your superpowers? I hope you weren't discovered." the little girl asked worriedly.
The little boy patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'm very careful and won't be discovered. Those bad guys can't catch us."
"Really?" Before the little boy finished speaking, a voice suddenly appeared in the room.
