Online Game: Starting with an SSS-Level Plundering Talent

242 Chapter 242: Forming the Avatars, Copying Talents

Hunters continued to swarm around them. But John brushed off his frustrations and resumed the slaughter.

Both women were actively engaged as well, occasionally unleashing their own abilities to attack the surrounding Hunters.

Tracy, especially, as an Alchemist class, had gained considerable power after receiving The Immortals' Inheritance. Not only did she master powerful healing skills, but she also wielded deadly poison attacks that inflicted lasting damage on enemies.

Even 8th-tier Hunters couldn't withstand her attacks.

Sini, armed with a longbow, fired arrows relentlessly, launching a fierce assault on the Hunters around her. However, her damage output was low—barely able to break through the defenses of 8th-tier elite Hunters.

Against higher-level elites, her attacks failed to cause any real damage.

...

Three more days passed, and Sini and Tracy both reached level 2,000. With John's help, they managed to kill 8th-tier legendary creatures and completed their advancement quests.

John's level had also risen to over 2,100.

It was time to return.

Rather than continuing to level up, John decided to head back. Seven days had passed, and he could sense that the Heaven, Earth, and Man souls had successfully formed their physical bodies with the help of The Tree of Life. He was eager to check on their progress.

Leading the two women, John quickly made his way back to the cave.

Roar...

The sound of battle echoed all around as countless Hunters still swarmed outside the cave.

However, with everyone's increased strength, the Hunters no longer posed much of a threat.

The elves and Blues Family disciples had all reached the 7th tier, with their power significantly enhanced. With the help of Sara and a few other strong warriors, they easily held off the Hunters' attacks.

After greeting the others, John made his way to the depths of the cave.

Buzz...

A vast life force surged around him.

The Tree of Life, sensing John's presence, lowered the three avatars, now fully formed.

The three avatars looked exactly like him, but their auras were completely different. One was a gods avatar, one a Beast Clan avatar, and the third a Skyline Continent human avatar.

"Whoa, old man! Who are they?" Tracy exclaimed, staring at the three figures in astonishment.

The three avatars were indistinguishable from John in appearance. If it weren't for the difference in their auras, it would be nearly impossible to tell them apart.

Tracy could clearly sense that these avatars had powerful soul signatures. They were truly alive.

"They're my three avatars," John explained briefly before stepping forward to examine their attributes.

Each avatar had base stats of 100,000 in all four major attributes and shared the One Breath, Three Purities talent, allowing them to merge with his main body.

However, they had no other abilities.

It's so weak, isn't it?

John felt a wave of disappointment wash over him.

His greatest strengths lay in his Plunder talent, Wrath of the Gods talent, and Undying and Immortal.

Yet these avatars hadn't inherited any of his talents or abilities at all.

The power difference between John's main body and his three avatars was immense.

However, he could transfer various attributes to his avatars, including talents, bloodlines, and class techniques.

But his most powerful, god-tier, and unique talents—like Plunder—were his trump cards and life-saving abilities, and there was no way he would transfer those to his avatars.

"Wait, the Talent Copy Stones!" John suddenly remembered, producing two milky-white stones from his storage.

These were the drops from killing the Hunter Queens earlier.

"John, did that thing backfire on you?" Sini demanded, glaring suspiciously at the Beast Clan avatar.

She didn't care who or what it was—anything that hurt John was an enemy in her eyes.

Sensing her hostility, the Beast Clan avatar instinctively stepped back, saying nothing.

John waved them off. "I'm fine. I'll recover soon."

He leaned back against The Tree of Life, and deep within his soul, the Crimson Karma Lotus began to spin, releasing waves of healing soul energy, slowly mending his damaged soul.

The two women stood quietly by his side, keeping watch.

Gradually, the three avatars merged back into John's body, their distinct energies not harming him but instead boosting his strength and accelerating his soul's recovery.

In just half a day, his soul was fully healed.

John opened his eyes to find Sini and Tracy still by his side, having not left his side for a moment.

"You two should head out and keep leveling. I'm fine now," John reassured them before adding, "Oh, and bring Bonnie here."

Seeing that he was truly recovered, the two women breathed a sigh of relief and turned to leave.

Before long, Bonnie arrived.

"Master, what are your instructions?" she asked respectfully, her gaze fixed on John.

With her strength having significantly improved and having received The Immortals inheritance thanks to John, her reverence for him had only deepened.

"I need to know if you have any leftover treasures from what I gave you earlier. Specifically, I need one set for gods and one for Skyline Continent humans," John said. His two other avatars had yet to merge with any treasures. Moreover, his Skyline Continent human avatar still lacked a suitable class. He hadn't yet found a powerful hidden class for it.

"Master, I only have one set of gods' treasures left," Bonnie replied, taking out a complete set of gods' treasures and handing it over. The other treasures had already been absorbed by the elves.

John sighed. There was no way to obtain more treasures for different races here in the Ancient Battlefield Ruins. He'd have to wait until they left to kill a demigod-level Skyline Continent human and acquire a set of treasures from them.

"Alright, that's fine. Keep focusing on improving your strength," he said, sensing that Bonnie had already reached level 8000. It wouldn't be long before she reached demigod-level strength.

John decided it was time to hunt down the remaining four Hunter Queens to boost his Soul Technique and, hopefully, obtain more Talent Copy Stones to further empower his avatars.

This time, he didn't bring Sini or Tracy.

He needed to focus on rapidly increasing his strength to the ninth tier, which he hoped would allow him to level up the Immortal Sword Technique.

He had a strong feeling that something significant would happen once the technique reached level 10,000.

...

Once again, John left the cave alone, using Soul Perception to track down the nearest Hunter Queen.

All around him, countless Hunters swarmed in, endless in number.

These creatures were drawn to him by the Hunter's Hatred Mark imprinted on him.

But John felt no fear. With a thought, his Beast Clan avatar appeared, and together they fought side by side, targeting the Hunter Queen.

While the Beast Clan avatar was still far weaker than John's main body, and required some protection.

But it did possess the Plunder talent, which meant it could steal attributes from the Hunters they killed.

Additionally, with the Wrath of the Gods talent, the avatar was more powerful than both Sini and Tracy.

The coordination between John and his avatar was seamless. Their minds were linked, and there was no need for verbal communication.

Together, they rampaged through the endless waves of Hunters, with John eventually sensing the presence of the Hunter Queen.

Unlike the previous encounters in narrow caves, this Queen resided in a wide canyon.

Giving the surrounding Hunters more room to flood in and block John's approach.

The open space provided some challenge, offering a bit more resistance compared to the confined tunnels.

But it was still only a minor inconvenience.
