The Copy Mage Chapter 121

{Snap out of it you idiot, otherwise, you are going to die here and that will mean that I will also die} screamed Utsusu within Damian's mind.
{You must feel the power of the Soul Spirit through the attack and use the attack from his Soul Spirit as a medium to invading his body and copying his Soul Spirit. Do not attempt to copy the Soul Spirit permanently as you won't be able to do so, and it won't be much use to you anyway. Instead, upon copying it, activate the Soul Spirit straight away, without trying to subdue it, which will allow you to use the Soul Spirit for a few minutes. In that time if you cannot subdue the poison using the Soul Spirit that you copied, you will die. I shouldn't have taught you this method to copy Soul Spirits until your cultivation level was higher, but this is a life or death situation, so you mustn't fail} instructed Utsusu within his mind.
Damian's willpower was abnormally strong, but even with his willpower, the gut-wrenching pain that was caused by the assassin's poison was too overwhelming.
Clenching his fists, Damian's mind that wanted to survive was fighting with his body that was screaming and experiencing immense pain. With the backlash, fatigue, damage and the pain that his body had and was experiencing all at once, it wasn't looking good for Damian.
Just as he felt that his body was on death's door, images of his mother, his friends, those that had helped and supported him in the academy and everything that he wanted to accomplish appeared within his mind.
[I cannot die] roared Damian within his mind as he activated his Copy Book Soul Spirit, withdrawing the Copy Book from his dantian.
Just as Utsusu had described, he needed to feel the attack of the Soul Spirit and use it as a bridge to the original Soul Spirit, allowing him to copy it and temporarily be able to use it.

But now that the assassin was moving further away from him, it would be much more difficult to do so, as the further the person that Damian wanted to copy their Soul Spirit, the harder it would be to do so.
However giving up wasn't an option for Damian as if he gave up, then it was all over. All his dreams, ambitions and everything that he had gained in his second life would be lost, and it also wasn't guaranteed that he would have a third life.
With the poison that was spreading around his body, Damian followed the will of the Copy Book that was within his hands and followed his instincts that were the only thing that could save him.
His mind was overwhelmed with pain and all he had managed to do was clutch onto the instinct and innate feeling that he had when he held the copy book.
Damian was lucky that the spirit of his Soul Spirit had been awakened and it was Utsusu that was causing the innate feeling and guiding Damian, as otherwise in the state that he was in, he would have had no chance.
Following the path that Utsusu had lay out for Damian, Damian found that it was easier than he had expected and all it required was for him to provide his changeable energy to his copy book and to aim to swallow the effects of the attack.
Usually, it would require Damian to copy it upon impact, but luckily it was a poison attack that had lasting effects and made it so that Damian could copy it after he had been attacked by it.
After his changeable energy and the ability of his copy book duplicated the capability of the Soul Spirit, that he was being or had been attacked by, Damian had to instantly activate it in order to temporarily copy it.

If he didn't immediately activate it after copying it, it would mean that he would be attempting to subdue it to permanently copy the Soul Spirit, which would require him to break down the will of the Soul Spirit.
Doing exactly that, Damian felt an unusual entity enter his dantian beside the red and golden flame. It was a small green ball of fog that appeared and it was exactly like the fog that the assassin used to poison him.
Following what Utsusu had told him, Damian activated the Soul Spirit that he had copied straight away, so that he wouldn't have to permanently copy it, which would be impossible for him to do in the state that he was in.
He had succeeded in temporarily copying a Soul Spirit for the first time, but his body was being strained every second that he used the Soul Spirit that his body wasn't accustomed to and couldn't handle.
In the current state that he was in, he couldn't handle that strain for long and had to figure out how to suppress, then dispel the poison in his body, before his body collapsed and he died.
Damian was a survivor and he was unwilling to die in such a shameful way and he still had so much that he wanted to accomplish.
Even if he had no idea how to use the Poison Soul Spirit that he had temporarily copied from the assassin, he had become quite skilled in the use of energies and after training in the use of both Shadow Energy and Fire Energy, he had become very skilled in doing so.
He felt that he had control of the green poisonous fog in his dantian and found that in the same way as when he produced and controlled flames, he could control it and create more of it as long as he provided it energy.
With that, he could control all the poison that had spread around his body and corroded him internally, so all that was left was for him to remove it from his body through his pores.
However, the amount of focus and energy it required to do so was incredible, and it would be very hard for Damian to be able to do so in the current state he was in, without pushing his body and mind past its limits.
But that was exactly what he was good at.

8 186Re: (Union//Incarnation)
Two years ago, a meteor fell and decimated the southeastern lands of Gaia, turning them into wastelands constantly shrouded in white fog. None of those who saw the blazing calamity with their own eyes lived to tell the tale, and those who attempted to venture in never came back. Since then, towers, caverns, and ruins have appeared and disappeared without a pattern. Those who were brave enough to venture in were rewarded with a partner capable of defying the natural laws as humanity knows it. People started to call them ‘Incarnation’, and before long, more and more Incarnation were gathered and sold as commodity, especially after a billionaire has sponsored a fighting tournament offering cash prizes to those possessing the strongest Incarnation, spurring the greedy and desperate to hunt for the fabled creatures at the cost of their lives. Claire Saphira wanted none of that. She simply wished for a life where she could live without worry of her own survival. As she ran from the debt collectors for the umpteenth time, she was swallowed by an errant tower, where she saw a frail, pale-skinned girl with ashen hair hung by chains. It was a chance, a chance to participate in the tournament and live without worrying about survival. Yet, something nagged in the back of her mind. Why did she look so familiar? Planned release schedule: One chapter every day for Mon-Fri, and a break on Sat-Sun. The release will slow down at some point, but most likely won't go under 3 chapters a week.
8 174Storm
The Storm started six months ago, and no one knows where it came from. All they know is it hasn't stopped for a single day, and you better follow the one rule: Don't go out in the rain. Hiding in the broken building of her old high-school, seventeen-year-old Marylou is one of the few to have survived this far. She doesn't believe in the Ghosts -- shapeless creatures said to roam under the rain outside -- but, to be fair, she doesn't really believe in anything except booze and the unconditioned love of her ball python snake, Evil Noodle. Chance brings Marylou together with Amy, a mysterious girl with an even more mysterious past, and Dean and Ray, two young men running what they call 'the last pizza place in California'. As the Storm rages on stronger by the day, the foursome will have to make a choice: keep hiding under roof after roof, waiting for starvation, or set out to the road and face whatever hides out there, under the Storm.
