Unbreakable

The change was immediate.

“…!”

“…T-that’s!”

People began to gasp. They all knew what kind of change Dohyuk was going through. The reason for that change was making him rumble and turn opaque.

“Double?”

Yuri also knew.

“That’s interesting,” She smiled and waved her hand at her men.

“Back off. I’ll handle him.”

Her men obeyed. Some were shocked that the man in front of them was Yoo Dohyuk, but they weren’t concerned. They knew how powerful Lee Yuri was, and the power of the Double.

…

In the previous life, Yuri wasn’t too afraid. She had a lover, or the man she met when she became an adult. She was an orphan, but the man who was much older than her was a CEO of a giant company. He was also bright enough to be quite successful in the changed world. She trusted him. She believed he was the best. She followed him and the man protected her. Was it because of love?

Or maybe she was too beautiful. She was beautiful enough for most men, and sometimes women even felt lust just by watching her.

But she didn’t care. The world, before the change or after, was still too harsh for her to survive. She needed to rely on someone. That’s why she obeyed the strong, trustworthy man and thrived in the protection he provided. That’s why she loved him.

However, when the man was killed by another powerful man, she felt her love waning. She loved him because of the might, because of the power. If he was not strong, it was he who had betrayed her.

‘Wow, look at you? You don’t even care? Anyway, you’re mine now.’

The second man then owned Yuri. Yuri’s life didn’t change. People who were corrupt did not get old as time went on. Yuri was still beautiful and she became ‘worthy trophy’. She had many owners, sometimes even women, yet she never trusted or loved any of her powerful owners. There had to be a stronger man who would take her eventually. It was pointless to love or trust the others. That’s when-

‘I will teach you something interesting.’

Change came. The new owner was a bit weird.

‘This skill will allow you to protect yourself. If someone other than me tries to take you, fight. I want you to fight and get killed rather than get taken away.’

Of course, even if that ever happened, Yuri wouldn’t fight. The new owner must’ve known this too, but he still gave her the skill book. After three months, she killed a low-rank warrior in the group. She, who had no stats that were higher than 100 within 10 years, had killed a warrior. Her owner became interested, but that was it.

‘I was lucky. That was interesting.’

At that moment, Yuri’s heart began to pound. When her owner died to another powerful man, she poured acid over her face.

That was the start. Everyone thought she had become sick life and wanted to kill herself, but she survived and then became a warrior after she was a slave. It was a quick transition, but her rank was still too low to be recognized at this point. Only she knew how much potential she had.

She was angry. Why didn’t she realize this earlier? The world wasn’t as harsh as she thought. The strong would rarely be defeated. It was herself who had the potential to become the most powerful being. When Jung Ilgyu united the south, Yuri was a high-ranked Two Circle.

‘I was a fool. I realized it too late.’

She became more powerful, but the war started between the south and the north. Then she died.

And for the second life, she killed the first man she saw and acquired his Nature. She began proving herself to obtain the Four Circle rank, something that was higher than everyone else except the Tyrant.

“I wasn’t late this time, and I had the equipment and skills.”

She used these resources soon after she revived.

“Other fools are too set on using the same items they used in previous life… but why would you insist on that? It’s better if you have a better one, right? That’s why I’m curious,” she said.

“…”

She looked at two men in front of her.

“I’m not sure if you can use the ‘Double’ well enough.”

Yuri spoke to the two Dohyuks. There were two of them with the <<Double>> skill.

It was the skill many people tried to acquire and utilize in the previous life.

“I used it once in previously. I had a chance to acquire the weapon that had the skill.”

Yuri looked at both Dohyuks as she whipped her lash in the air.

“But it was after that skill was trash.”

This was a huge sensation when people realized such an option existed as Double allowed one to divide the body into two without receiving any penalties. People thought it was good to acquire even if meant death when the copied version died before merging back into one.

“It’s different than what you think, isn’t it?”

Dohyuks’ expressions weren’t too good. It seemed like they were seasick or something.

“I was really shocked too. I mean I didn’t understand why others considered this skill to be useless.”

There was only one problem with the skill.

[Two bodies controlled by one mind]

It wasn’t just about making body doubles. It was just having another body to control as it wasn’t as simple as just having another body to work together with. Both bodies would still be connected to one mind, and the copied version lacked all the equipment, making it much weaker than normal.

“Hey~ are you there?” Yuri asked, smiling at Dohyuk. The two Dohyuks still had seasick expressions on their faces while standing still on the ground.

“Hmph… That’s boring.”

She held up her whip. She had been looking forward to see if Yoo Dohyuk, the one who defeated the Tyrant, would do something.

“Oh well.”

She raised her arm.

<<Snake of Tandilos – SS>>

And with 355 Strength, she whipped her lash at Dohyuk. She was still 20 meters away, but an invisible attack was fired at the two Dohyuks. Yuri tugged her whip back and prepared for another attack. If Dohyuk did not deactivate the Double, one of his bodies would be torn apart. But if he did deactivate the skill, her second attack would land on him. She knew where Dohyuk would appear after merging back as she knew what the skill could do.

However, Dohyuk didn’t choose either option. The two bodies started running at that moment.

“Oh, that’s shame.”

Yuri then whipped again. Both of them dodged and ran, but she knew where they were going to go. They were running in the opposite direction and Yuri chased them with her whip.

‘Got ya.’

Before her attack reached the Dohyuks, they turned to a new direction.

“ME?!”

Yuri grabbed the whip.

“You’re crazy!”

She became dumbfounded and whipped it. Countless attacks were fired at the two of them. However, the two approaching so she had to fire multiple times. It was still too much to dodge all of them. Yuri scoffed, but before her attacks reached the Dohyuks, both bodies began to fade.

As she saw her whip lashing through empty space, she thought.

‘The point of the merge is the center…’

The center, which was in front of Yuri, was where the merged Dohyuk was now twisting his body to kick.

“But how-”

“Practice,” Dohyuk answered as he kicked Yuri’s face.

Four hours after leaving Yabadop’s region was enough time to acquire all that he needed to know.
