Chapter 48 Legacy (New Book Requests Everything)

　　Because of the bizarre things that have happened, Edward begins to constantly exorcise and keep replicating his soul, creating pseudo-souls over and over again.

　　He found that about ten times he copied it, a dark red pseudo-soul would appear once.

　　Of course, this was only the approximate odds, and there were times when dark red pseudo-souls appeared every other time like in the beginning. There have also been cases where it was a light blue pseudo-soul more than ten times in a row.

　　After summoning the dark red pseudo-soul again, he stared at the dull little man with some confusion.

　　What is this? Hidden rare skins?

　　Try to command this villain, it can do the same as the light blue villain, and it absolutely obeys its own commands.

　　This left him with no worries, and he casually rolled the dark red villain round and injected it into the clay doll.

　　At this time Xiang Zilan entered the room, looking hungry by the looks of it. He then placed a plate of milk that had been prepared earlier in front of the little lion and scorpion beast.

　　Next, he picked up the prepared energy storage magic stone and filled it with magic power.

　　This step was actually very simple, use the [Gathering] rune to extract the magic power from your body, and the energy storage magic stone would automatically absorb it in.

　　After placing the magic stone full of magic power into the clay doll, the magic stone fused with the clay doll on its own, during which a trace of magic power could be seen beginning to pour into the dark red pseudo-soul.

　　Then the clay puppet's appearance began to change, and what had been a somewhat perfunctory concoction of a human form now began to look more and more like a real human body.

　　Not only that, but once the human body was reshaped, the shape of the clothes began to appear, and soon the clay doll became exactly like Edward, except in much smaller proportions, like a hand-me-down.

　　It is also stated in the book "Puppetry, Puppetry and Magic Statues" that if a soft material such as mud or clay is used as a receptor, when the statue is completed, it will change into the original form of the living soul.

　　After the change was complete, the tiny clay demon statue half-kneeled facing Edward, just like the three giant demon statues on the other side of the ruins.

　　Edward thinks it's some sort of standby form for the magical statue, which might act like this when it runs out of magic or waits for orders.

　　He began to try to manipulate this tiny mannequin, and found that the method of manipulation was basically the same as manipulating a pseudo-soul, and that he only needed to move his mind, and the demonic statue would make a move.

　　It's just that the Demon Statue's reaction time is slightly slower than the False Soul.

　　But the statue is solid, and the fact that the clay doll is able to change shape is especially interesting. when Edward commands the statue to perform a sword art, it actually shapes a small sword out of the clay.

　　It's hard to mold artillery if you let it shoot it.

　　Edward thought so and gave the command to the demonic statue to fire.

　　Sure enough the demonic statue began to mold a small artillery piece in front of its body, but when it was done molding itself, it was a good deal smaller.

　　Following Edward's orders, the small gun was aimed at a brass cup on the table, and with a "poof", a clay shell flew out and knocked the cup away.

　　"Clunk."

　　The copper cup swirled and fell to the floor, startling Shankiran, who was lapping up the milk.

　　It leapt onto the table quickly, then saw the clay doll that had taken the form of its owner.

　　The little lion and scorpion beast apparently froze for a moment as it glanced up at Edward, then turned its head to look at the clay doll, and then transformed into a world-famous painting:

　　White cat question mark.jpg

　　Edward suddenly had a mischievous idea, could he get the clay doll demon statue to ride on top of Shannon Ran, in the guise of a white cat rider... No, a lion and scorpion beast rider?

　　He ordered the clay doll to move closer to Kouziran, however, the little lion and scorpion beast had already decided that the clay doll was a forgery of its owner, and suddenly exploded, its scorpion tail rising high before it stabbed at the clay doll at a very high speed.

　　That's when the unthinkable happened.

　　With just a flash of cold light, the clay puppet dodged to the side with a speed that was hard to catch with the naked eye, and the small clay sword was held horizontally in his hand.

　　Then the poisonous stinger on the vanilla's tail dropped to the ground without warning, and the little lion and scorpion beast screamed miserably before burrowing into Edward's arms.

　　Instead, your son ordered the demon statue to stop moving and half-kneeled on the table before picking up Shonziran and calming the little lion and scorpion beast that had blown up.

　　The good thing is, the poisonous spikes are horny, so they shouldn't hurt, and they'll slowly grow back later.

　　But while calming his pet and looking at the half-kneeling demonic statue on the table, Edward got a wonderful sense of immediacy.

　　He suddenly remembered, wasn't this the same move he had used to inexplicably decapitate Baron Collins?

　　After gently placing the chanziran on the ground, Edward picked up his silver sword.

　　Then, the Mud Doll Demon Statue was ordered to once again perform the sword technique from earlier.

　　Against the movements of the demonic statue, he swung his sword in a trial run, and although his speed was considerably slower than the statue's, his movements were standard, as if his own body had developed muscle memory.

　　Lowering his sword and standing frozen for a moment, he suddenly realized.

　　A dark red pseudo-soul is not a hidden rare skin.

　　This is most likely a copy of the original owner's residual soul.

　　Presumably, after occupying this body himself, he squeezed out the personality and memories of the original owner, but a small part of his residual soul remained.

　　And this little bit of residual soul, although it had no personality or memories, was able to make use of the original owner's sword skills and saved his life at a critical moment.

　　That's kind of a perk of crossing over, isn't it?

　　However, this kind of ability that could only work in life and death situations was really not very reliable.

　　Is there any way to get these spiritual legacies of the original owner?

　　Edward considered this for a moment and came up with an idea.

　　It's simple: worship the magic statue.

　　Since the demonic statue that had copied the remnants of the soul was able to use the original owner's sword techniques, it was just a matter of figuring out a way to make the demonic statue use those sword techniques, and then following along and learning them yourself.

　　The body already has muscle memory anyway, and by learning how to do it yourself, you can achieve what regular people can only achieve with repeated training.

　　In fact, it was to let one's soul, to re-establish a link with these sword techniques.

　　However, although the doorway has been found, it is still a bit difficult to be specific.

　　Directly ordering a demonic statue to "do a sword trick that I don't know" will not get any response, because a demonic statue does not have a personality, so naturally, it does not understand this kind of ambiguous order.

　　However, if you make the statue use a sword technique in passive defense, then you can command the statue to "reuse the sword technique you just used".

　　But how can I seduce the demon statue into using a sword technique on its own? And let Shankarou attack the demon statue again?

　　Although there was already a successful precedent, it was obvious that Shannziran couldn't beat the demon statue right now, what if the demon statue still possessed a more powerful sword technique that could kill Shannziran in a single move.

　　This method is good, but it's cat-intensive.
