Bro, I'm not an Undead!

"Huh?" Yuyui wore a dumb face with imaginary question marks dancing over her head.

"I don't... I don't understand..." she said but Skullius' copy had already moved on, talking to the original about the arrangement and apportionment of other things.

Ferex didn't seem averse to it.

Both of the Penetrators he saw were his master, after all. It was easy for him to recognise.

For Yuyui, it was a bit strange. As dumb as it looked, she was still yet to come to terms with the fact that her master was actually two individuals right now.

As she flusteredly called for more details to be explained to her, the original Skullius had begun laying everything on the table.

When he had taken Ferex before they went to the Temple hours ago, he had also grabbed the Elimparidis Stone Staff in preparation for this.

Now, he brought it out of storage and expelled the valuables within it as well as those in the storage ring, laying them all on his thick cloudy body where they were all held up by the sparks within.

The clusters of recently retrieved pieces of armour glowed collectively between the two Skulliuses.

Fulgardt's chest, the three plaques, the Incalescent Breath – the crown taken from the Grand Flame Bringer – the All Eater Scroll, the Brilliant Dent, the Prompt Spells, the potions, the coins, the Voiding Key, among many other things could be seen.

"First off, this is just for distinction purposes. For me it's weird to call you, myself, Skullius. How about a separate name for you to help distinguish us?" the original Skullius said.

"Sure. What do you have in mind?"

"I don't know. How about something simple like.... uh... Replicus."

"...You're kidding, right? That's an awful name."

"It is but it makes me feel a bit more comfortable. Besides, it's just between you and me. You can call yourself whatever you want outside of our little, intimate circle, alright?"

The copy sighed hard.

This wasn't very important anyway.

Why not?

Replicus it was!

Yuyui kept trying to find a way to squeeze herself into the conversation but unfortunately, it was air tight. Skullius and... Replicus began hard planning once again.

"Since it's risky for me to carry anything belonging to the Purity, I'll give you the Brilliant Dent – the storage pouch – as storage space. Living things can survive within it so it can accommodate whoever you want," Skullius said to which Replicus nodded and grabbed the pouch which had belonged to the Grand Priest.

Skullius then held the Elimparidis Stone Staff.

"Get ready," he said. 𝗳r𝗲𝙚w𝐞𝚋𝘯𝚘ѵ𝗲l.𝑐oｍ

Replicus opened the pouch wide and looked up.

A milky white ray of light shot out from the gem atop the Elimparidis Stone Staff and flew into the sky above the two. The ray shone bright when it reached an appropriate height, its brilliance dying down to be replaced by a massive chunk of land!

Bits rocks and soil fell from it as it temporarily floated, casting a large shadow on Skullius' cloud body and everything on it.

On this large piece of land, there were four mountains, a chill resting on all their surfaces. Three of them were very tall and imposing, the only exception being a short and stout one among them that had a great deal of mystery as well as power easily recognisable on it.

Additionally, a certain Temple could be spotted, perched over one of the more normal mountains.

Replicus willed the pouch to take in the falling landmass and as he wished, a sharp drawing sensation aided in its effect by sprinkles of bright golden energy moving in to devour the target whole!

With a distorted warp that skewed the landmass into a tragic shape, the massive thing was sucked into the Brilliant Dent.

"That should do for a start, right?" Skullius said. "You'll need the Kindling Heath and so will the eggs on it."

"Right," Replicus nodded before pointing the pouch at the piles of Legendary grade equipment, taking them all for himself.

He also took the Voiding Key – the key from the Labyrinth of the Yoke that allowed one to go where they wished within it – the Incalescent Breath, the potions and several other things.

"That's everything?"

"That's everything."

"Master!" Yuyui finally burst their planning spree apart.

Skullius and Replicus turned to her.

"Will I really have to move away?" she asked while shrinking between the two.

Guilt was palpable in her voice and in her eyes.

"It's like I told you before," Skullius said while floating her way, Replicus standing from his seat and following too. "I never intended for you to stay in Genhuis City. You're more suited to an environment that doesn't have too many rules and authorities that we can't act against. Besides, for you to grow, you need more than a sheltered life in the city and acting as my support in the Royale."

Yuyui knew Skullius was right.

Her existence, if exposed could be a problem.

It wasn't that she had a Hidden Class.

It was the fact that her Hidden Class was special even among other Hidden Classes.

Someone who couldn't be killed permanently by conventional methods was dangerous and would definitely have a target on their back.

This wasn't good for the lime haired girl before she matured.

The Grand Priest had mistaken her powers for evil, which showed another possible danger she could run into if things remained the same.

"What about the Temple and the Purity? Won't they still go after you? If they can't find me then..." Yuyui said with worry, her fingers fiddling against themselves endlessly.

"I know. I'll find a way," Skullius said. "Throw away that guilt will you? Your contribution is making this possible. I'm glad you went mad when you did."

Yuyui didn't know how to feel about that last statement but she accepted everything else.

She did do a good job, didn't she?

"If you're worried about me getting found out, in my experience, Divination shouldn't be as effective on us because of both Null Life and Insurgency. Maybe Damilla was just weak but I'm sure SKULLIUS... will be fine," Replicus said, putting emphasis on the name.

His socket flames told the tale of how he thought this conversation between Skullius and Yuyui made everything he would and could say to the lime haired girl....redundant.

'Leave some for me will you?!'

"That's the optimistic approach, haha."

On the matter of everything within Genhuis City, the truth was that Skullius was already considering the worst case scenarios.

The fact that his abnormal existence could have already been noticed by the Diviners or the man behind the second sun in Genhuis City.

That the Temple was already searching for him.

That he may have endangered the Bryne Family.

All of it was possible but he wasn't distraught.

Skullius patted Yuyui's head.

"Instead of worrying about me, worry more about how you will make the most of this situation. For someone with so much potential, the next time we meet should show your incredible growth," he said.

Yuyui wore a semi forced smile.

She nodded.

"I'll do my best."

Skullius nodded to her as well and called for Ferex.

The Apostle gave a short bow.

"I probably don't need to say anything to you. You seem to understand that the situation hasn't changed much more than—"

"More that servant? Of course, Master," Ferex proudly intercepted Skullius' sentence.

"...Right." the projection of the Penetrator said. He then turned to Replicus. "Between the here, on the ground and Genhuis City shouldn't be too great of a distance to hinder communication right?"

"Right. You intend to see the Mage Stylla talked about, don't you? About how to combine skills?"

"Yes. Before then, stay close," Skullius instructed.

His body began to rumble as sparks of Levin began to chaotically coil around.

It was time for the dual adventure of the Penetrator to begin.

"Grind hard, bro," Skullius said.

"You too. Don't die in the Royale, otherwise..."

"I get it."

Replicus grabbed Ferex and Yuyui who shed a tear as if she losing a loved one. She even waved at Skullius who shook his head and reciprocated anyway.

Shortly after, Replicus turned into a streak of Levin that shot up while engulfing his company and then stormed down, zipping to and from the normal clouds beneath the [Vivid Firmament Canvas] with the skill [Storm Rider].
