I, the All-Class Magus, All My Awakening Skills are LvMax

Chapter 275: Chapter275-Being Hunted!

John's face remained expressionless, but he did give a slight nod.

He knew that if they wanted to leave this place, they had to start with this so-called sacrificial ceremony.

Hiding behind all the time wouldn't be of any use; they had to first see what the situation was like in the village.

Isabella frowned slightly, seemingly pondering something else.

"Should we hide here for now, or should we check out the situation at the back mountain first?"

Amelia also couldn't help but look at John with some confusion.

Their situation was indeed very critical, primarily because they had been suppressed.

No one knew when the buffs would be lifted, nor what the situation would evolve into, but they had to be prepared regardless.

"Let's take a look first. Since there are those disgusting entities in this forest, it proves that there must be other unknown factors at play here; we need to investigate thoroughly."

Even if they wanted to sabotage the sacrificial ceremony, they needed to secure an escape route.

However, this time they didn't split up; instead, they began to gather and search everything around them.

John, using his system's prompts, saw that there were no red hostile dots nearby.

Instead, there were some yellow dots.

What did these yellow dots represent? John began to lead everyone towards that direction.

But before they could reach these yellow points, Isabella and Amelia stopped them.

"Stop, don't go any further."

Isabella's expression was very serious as she directly blocked John and the others, leaving Archibald somewhat perplexed.

"What's wrong? There doesn't seem to be any danger ahead, and those eerie people haven't appeared either."

Amelia's face also turned grave, and she silently stared ahead, gripping her greatsword as if facing a formidable enemy.

"We encountered duplicates of you when we approached those mounds before."

Leopold was visibly alarmed, looking at John nervously.

If that was the case, then they really couldn't go forward!

But John still wanted to check it out.

After all, the system marked it as yellow, which meant neutral—it could be good or bad.

"If we could actually turn these so-called shadows to our advantage, wouldn't that be an extra help?"

"I don't think this secret realm is without solutions. Since these shadows appear in this forest, I think we should go and see," John stated in a discussive tone, but with an undeniable certainty.

Isabella and Amelia both showed disapproval.

"And the shadows are just too strange and eerie. They match our strength, and dealing with them is really troublesome."

"The worst part is their skills are similar to ours, and only a strike to the heart can kill them instantly. We both nearly fell victim just now."

The upcoming ceremony posed a great danger due to their small numbers and suppressed strengths.

But if they had duplicates with strength comparable to their own as allies, the situation would be entirely different.

With this newfound knowledge, John didn't hesitate.

He immediately led these figures back to find Isabella and Amelia.

"Why hasn't big brother come back yet? It's been so long, could he be in danger? Should we go check?"

Archibald paced nervously in place.

It had been over half an hour since John had left, and still, there was no sign of him.

Could something have really gone wrong?

Leopold was also very anxious but forced himself to wait; no one knew what might have happened to John, so they could only wait.

John never undertook actions he wasn't sure of, and since he had gone, it meant he was confident he could return safely.

However, they soon looked up to see four Johns walking towards them!

Isabella and Amelia immediately went into combat readiness, while Archibald and Leopold also stared intently in the direction from which John had come.

"Who are you!"

Leopold shouted sternly, his gaze filled with seriousness and vigilance.

John, seeing how alert the four were, smiled slightly.

"The wedding dress fragments."

John didn't want to waste time, so he simply uttered the passphrase.

Hearing this, the others briefly relaxed, but their vigilance quickly intensified.

What if even these were fake?

Since John knew about the wedding dress fragments, that should prove he was real.

But why were there several others who looked exactly like him?

John, smiling, recounted everything that had happened, including his discovery.

The group was astonished!

"How... how is that possible?!"

It turned out that these duplicates were neutral from the start.

Only if they harbored malice themselves would the duplicates reflect that malicious intent!

This was like setting a trap for themselves!

After all, anyone's first reaction upon seeing a duplicate of their companion would be to kill it!

Who would have thought that these duplicates could actually be their allies?
