Kapitel 60: Ch. 58 - The Great Pretender meets an unexpected individual!

After finally 'outrunning' the flock of eagles chasing after them, more like giving up in chasing them, Leo and Po could finally sigh in relief.

"Po, quick warning. Don't put things you don't know in your mouth. Especially if they're in a fucking nest!" Leo yelled at the exhausted panda in front of him.

"I-I'm- hah~ sorry! Hah~" Speaking between his heavy breaths, Po apologized.

"Now we're lost." Leo scratched the back of his head while folding out the map in front of him.

Obviously since this world lacked advance technology, they had to rely on the traditional way of reading the map.

But thanks to their encounter with the eagles, Leo lost track of where they are now.

'I should at least approach a named spot or village so I could resume reading the map.' Leo said to himself before folding the map and taking it back to his storage ring.

"So where are we now?" After seeing Leo take out the map earlier, Po thought that Leo was figuring out where they are.

"We're in the middle of nowhere, let's try to find a river and follow its course. Maybe that way, we'll find ourselves in a nearby village." After finishing his words, Leo didn't wait for Po to respond and started walking forward.

"Wait up!" Po waved his arm and ran after Leo.

***

Leo and Po have been walking for 2 hours straight, without any rests which is considered as an achievement to Po who is known to take rests for every 5 minutes he walks.

"Are we there yet?" The fat panda asked in a bored tone.

"Not yet." Leo replied in the same manner.

"Are we there yet?"

"Not yet."

"Are we there yet?"

"Not yet."

"Are we there-."

"Finish that sentence and I'll pull your fucking tongue out." Leo interrupted Po and snarled while glaring at the stunned Po.

After that outburst from Leo, Po never spoke anymore, either afraid to face Leo's wrath or just realized how annoying he was.

***

"Let's take a short rest here and then we'll resume our journey." Leo said after stopping in his tracks.

"Finally!" Po sighed in relief.

Meanwhile, Leo took out a portable tent that I'd already arranged out of his inventory, thanks to his 50 Gacha draws last night, he got quite a few useful items of it, with the portable tent being one of it.

"Woah! What is that?" Po's eyes glittered in excitement at the unknown in front of his eyes. To be honest, at this point Po isn't surprised anymore by the things that Leo takes out, out of nowhere, just dismissing it as Leo's secret ability, just like his secret identity as the Black Panther vigilante in their valley.

"It's a tent and this will be where we're spending the night for now." Leo answered, grabbing a few heavy stones to place inside the tent so it wouldn't fly away just in case a heavy wind blows in the area.

"Awesome!" Without asking for Leo's permission, Po dived inside the entrance of the tent, laying down on the ground, almost occupying the entire tent.

"Ahhh~" Po moaned in satisfaction, not expecting the tent to be this comfortable.

Of course it would be, Leo got it as a rare Item after all. The tent is also known as the most comfortable tent in the entire world, Leo doesn't believe it at first but seeing how Po quickly fell asleep, sprawled all over in just a single minute, looks like the description wasn't a lie.

"I'll go and cook then." Leo muttered under his breath before taking out the bread, spices, and several ingredients that he collected in the Jade Palace before leaving.

After that, Leo went inside the tent.

"AAHUUUU!" Only a scream of pain came out of the tent before Leo stepped outside with a satisfied smile.

Behind him was Po with a small bruise on his forehead.

"How can you flick your finger so strong!" Po complained.

"I'm just better. Now go and gather some small woods, it's time for lunch." After hearing Leo's words, Po's worn out state suddenly rejuvenated, as if he just drank a certain energy drink called Red Bull.

"I'll go and gather now!" Knowing how delicious the foods that Leo makes and he'll have it all by himself without the Furious Five as his opponents, Po didn't complain anymore and started running towards the deep forest, his blood burning to gather as much wood as he could.

Meanwhile, Leo was staring at the two Unique rolls that he got from the draw yesterday.

[Cape of Justice - A Cape made from the toughest materials in the entire multiverse yet maintaining his elegant and soft texture. The wearer of the cape would be granted several boons such as....

Passive abilities:

• For Justice! - Wearing the cape, people who are in need of help or saving, would feel calm and ease when you're near them.

• Hero of Justice! - Wearing the cape, your strength will increase tenfold when you're saving someone.

Active abilities:

• I'm Here! - Activating this will allow you to quickly teleport to the nearest person that needs to be saved from danger.

• Justice Never Ends! - While wearing the cape, activating this will allow the wearer to quickly recover from all injuries, even if they're critical and the wearer is on the verge of death, bypassing anti-healing debuffs As long as the wearer is still breathing, this ability will make sure to bring the wearer back to his prime. Can only be used once every year.]

"This cape....." Leo's face twitched. No he's not referring to the abilities of the cape, as a matter of fact, Leo would immediately wear the cape and not take it off forever, however he's hesitating due to its appearance.

Why?

Because the entire cape has his entire face printed on it! Imagine wearing a cape that has your entire face as its appearance, Leo would die from embarrassment.

It's not like Leo is embarrassed of his face, in fact he's proud of his handsome appearance but still, wearing the cape with his enlarged face on it makes him hesitate.

'I think, i'll just wear it if I'm fighting someone strong. The Justice Never Ends ability is too good to pass on.' Leo then placed the cape back into his inventory. He then stared at the other Unique roll that he obtained.

[Unique Skill: Ringer - A skill that allows the user to summon a clone that retains 100% of the original's strength. Has a distance limit of 1 kilometer away from the original body, going beyond that will automatically dispel the Ringer Clone. Doesn't have a time limit on how long the Ringer Clone can exist but has a cooldown of 2 months. Can be upgraded using Skill Upgrade.]

Seeing this, Leo wasted no time claiming the skill last night. He hasn't found any chance to try it but with Po not around, Leo could finally use this opportunity to try out the Ringer Skill.

After all, a clone that has 100% of his strength is too good to be true. What if he's a god? Then does that mean he could summon another god as strong as him?

'But the real question here is if the clone is under my control? If it's not, then that would be a huge setback for such a broken skill.'

After seeing the Ringer Skill on his [Skills] section, Leo didn't waste time anymore and used it, summoning a Ringer Clone.

*Fwoosh!*

The space beside him swirled, opening a hole out of nothing.

Leo, who was watching the spectacle, suddenly felt his mind being in pain, as if his brain was being pierced by a thousand needles.

"Ah! Fuck!" Not expecting the pain, Leo quickly dropped down on the ground, holding his head in pain, not noticing that his Ringer Clone had already stepped out of the space crack, which closed soon after.

Meanwhile, after the pain subsided Leo suddenly saw his vision being halved. On the other vision, he was staring on the grassy ground, while on the other vision was staring at himself?

Quickly looking up, Leo finally saw an identical person that looks exactly as him.

"Holy shit." Surprised, Leo stood up and stared at his Ringer Clone.

"Is this what I really look like?" Leo muttered under his breath, Leo then tried to control the Ringer Clone by raising it's left hand.

Like having another limb, the Ringer Clone raised its left hand.

A few minutes had passed and Leo experimented on the Ringer Clone.

Leo can now be seen frowning while staring at the , so far he has good news and bad news.

Good news is, the Ringer Clone is under his complete control, its just like having another limb.

The bad news, it strains his brain when he tries to control both the Ringer Clone and his own body at the same time. It's like trying to use his left and right hand to write. His main hand which is the left hand is writing properly but the right hand is writing doodles.

'I gotta need some kind of skill that can increase my thought process or if possible, give me two brains.' While Leo was deep in his thoughts, his sharp ears, which became even sharper thanks to Daredevil Template, has sensed Po's footsteps and his heavy breathing a few meters away from him.

"Dammit!" In a slight panic and not able to fully control the skill yet, Leo subconsciously dispelled the Ringer Clone.

On when he realized it, it was already too late as the Ringer Clone has already broken down and turned into a gust of wind.
