Overpowered Awakening: I Became Invincible With A Broken Talent Chapter 134 Deadlight District (25)

The main hall had a pretty spacious design, much bigger than the first one he had explored earlier.

It was also pretty empty.

While the first hall had a strange treasure chest sitting in the middle

of it, this one contained a stunningly beautiful woman who was chained firmly to the ground.

The bound woman seed to be asleep, her eyes closed peacefully. Long strands of silver hair spread across the floor beneath her, shimring faintly under the light within the hall.

She had the most beautiful face he had ever seen. Her shape was also divine, comparable to Crimson Sterling, who was seductively curvaceous in every sense.

A thin silk robe was draped loosely over her body, revealing everything in a way that made it difficult for even the most righteous man to resist being tempted by her.

Marlon was no different. He felt his libido surge the mont his eyes lingered on her body.

As he was still examining the woman, her eyelashes suddenly fluttered.

Her eyes opened gracefully, and she slowly turned her head toward him, eting his gaze with her beautiful and delicate eyes.

Her mouth shivered as she muttered the words, "Help ," in a fearful yet beautiful tone.

Marlon could sense the dread in her voice, and for a split second, a heroic instinct kicked in inside him, urging him to go help her imdiately.

Fortunately, he stopped himself in ti as his mind processed the situation more clearly.

He turned to et the eyes of the woman, which still held the sa expression, only this ti it appeared even more convincing than before.

He rethought everything.

First of all, what would a human be doing in a place like this?

Second, why was she bound, and why was she dressed in such a sexy manner that felt out of place?

With those questions and many other minor considerations in mind, it was clearly a trap, most likely a shape-shifting monster.

He even used his inspection skill on her, and the result ca back with the following.

[

"The first ti, you tricked us with a treasure chest, and this ti with a sexy woman in need," Marlon said with a chuckle.

But Marlon was absolute about his speculation and continued speaking.

"I can already think about the plan in your mind when taking this form. The first would be to cause conflict among the hunters who would step in, so they could fight over who would free the 'sexy bound woman, and the second would be to lure anyone closer and kill them imdiately, just like with the chest."

Saying this, he signaled one of his clones, the one standing behind her, to enter stealth mode and quietly approach her.

At the sa ti, he took a step forward, making sure to keep her gaze locked firmly onto him.

Since he was the owner of the clones, he could see through the one using stealth, and at that mont, it had already closed the distance and lifted its fist into the air.

With Marlon's signal, it used Divine Punch and struck the woman.

Her eyes widened as the unexpected attack connected. The fist went through her body and ca out of her chest, the blood quickly staining her clothes and splattering on the ground, forming a pool beneath her.

Opposite of what he expected, the look on her face was that of genuine pain and shock.

Her body collapsed, her eyes still open, staring at the ceiling as they

slowly lost their light.

[You've killed x1 human]

There were no experience points gained, and the na...

"She was human?"

Marlon was shocked beyond belief.

How was she a human? How did a human get into a portal like this?

Those questions imdiately appeared in his mind.

Unlike him, who began processing the entire scenario, his clones

simply stood there and stared at him in silence.

But for a split second, Marlon thought he sensed resentnt coming

from them, causing him to frown slightly.

Before he could try to examine his clones further, the entire cave suddenly warped into dark mist, and in the next second, everything returned to how it was a few minutes ago.

He was standing at the entrance, and his clones had maintained the exact positions he had ordered them to earlier.

And the woman, she was still alive, asleep just as she was when they had first entered.

Sensing his presence, her eyes opened once more, beautiful but filled with dread, and with the sa innocently seductive voice, she called

out for help again.

This ti, Marlon simply stood where he was.

He was not seduced like before. Instead, he was deeply confused.

What was this cave trying to do?

He could already tell that everything seed to be so sort of

hallucination.

If it was, then who was using such power?

"You... free her."

He commanded calmly, his voice steady.

His clones strolled toward her.

She seed relieved, believing that she was finally going to be free.

Marlon watched silently as the clone reached her and squatted down

in front of her.

Then suddenly, the clone clenched its fist and created a gaping hole in the chest of the woman.

Her eyes widened, filled with confusion, betrayal, and fear of death etched clearly on her pretty face as it gradually lost all color.

"What the heck."

He was confused this ti.

His clone had disobeyed his order.

How was that even possible?

The clone that had just killed the helpless woman stood up and

turned to look directly at Marlon.

Marlon t its gaze, and the clone suddenly displayed a cold grin like

a psychopath.

Marlon felt threatened at that mont.

It reminded him strongly of his divine trial when he had been killed by

a zombified doppelganger.

His instincts kicked in, and he clenched his fist, ready to slay his own

clone if it attacked him.

But as he was preparing himself, the sa warp happened again. Everything twisted into dark mist, and seconds later, the scene repeated itself.

The woman was still alive. She was now staring at him and pleading to

be freed once more.

"My clones..."

Marlon montarily ignored her and turned to observe his clones

carefully.

This ti, they were all looking at him with an empty but intelligent look, the sa look he was used to seeing from them.

There was no negative aura radiating from them at all. And this ti, he ordered all of them to save the woman at once.

He kept his eyes peeled on their movents, his body tensed and ready to act should he sense anything odd.

The clones approached the woman. One lifted his fist and broke the thick chains with a simple punch, freeing her.

But just as that was happening, another one clenched its fist and sent

a punch flying toward her heart.

Marlon's eyes sparked, and without a single hesitation, he blasted forward, arriving right on ti.

He wrapped his fist with divine energy, using Divine Punch to slay his

own clone.

The clone was unafraid of death and did not feel pain, so its eyes

simply shut as it dispersed into light and vanished completely.

"Thank you..."

The woman who had just been freed thanked him sincerely.

"No pro-"

He smiled as he replied, when the sa phenonon took place and

the scene reversed again.

"What the heck."

He was genuinely annoyed now and turned to observe his clones

once more.

This ti, he noticed that one was missing.

There had been five before. Now there were only four, and there was

no single trace of the first one.

"This annoying loop. Just what sort of boss am I going to face that requires such a trendous challenge to unlock?"

He muttered aloud, frustration clear in his voice.

And then, in a bid to hasten everything and find the boss, he sent his

clones to free her together again.

And as he expected, one suddenly attacked, and he acted

imdiately, killing it.

The scene reversed once more, and now there were only three clones

left, with no hint of the other two.

At this point, he was extrely grateful that he did not bring the

others along with him.

If he had done that, then he would probably have been forced to kill

them as well.

Although he did not expect such a scenario, it seed his decision had unknowingly been life-saving.

Since his clones were disposable, he did not have a problem killing

them one by one.

Several loops later...

All of his clones were gone.

He was now standing alone in the cave with the woman.

"Do not worry. I will free you."

He flashed her a reassuring smile and moved in to help her.

He broke the chains.

Imdiately after he did that, the woman who had been bound for

God knows how long stood up abruptly and hugged him tightly,

weeping profusely.

"Thank you for freeing ."

She cried out emotionally. Marlon hugged her back, but he remained extrely vigilant,

watching her every movent closely.

He let her cry for as long as she wanted, and when she finally settled

down, he asked her the needed questions, and she slowly opened up. She explained how she had been sleeping in her room, and then all of

a sudden, a portal opened up and swallowed her whole. She could not recount the monts after that, only that she found

herself bound with chains when she finally woke up. Hearing her story, Marlon's confusion surged even further.

Happy new year everyone
