[Some time later]
They were camping a bit earlier than usual, Marco started to cook while Alice got to a nearby river to clean herself.
The reincarnated guy was smoking a cigarette while just finishing to cook some soup for both of them.
Marco: *Sigh* We aren't that far away from the global war…
Marco was talking about the third chapter of the game, after some conversation in the Monster Lord's castle, Illias appeared and said how she was disappointed from Luka, and then she declared war to humans and monsters by sending angels everywhere.
Suddenly, Marco heard Alice's voice from the depth of the forest.
Alice: Hey! Get over here!
Marco: Huh?
Marco turned towards the source of the voice, and put the cigarette away, before stomping on it and walked towards Alice. Some minutes passed, but he didn't found her yet.
Alice: Hurry up, you moron! I need some help over here!
Marco: ...Moron? 'Ok, something is really wrong now…'
Alice: Over here! Hurry up, you moron! What's taking so long!?
Marco: Tch… I'll stomp on her tail when I find her…
*Ding*
*Special Quest: Stomp the Doppelganger's tail.*
Marco was a bit pissed off from being called 'Moron', but he immediately froze on his tracks when he heard the quest, and a grin crawled on his face.
Marco: '...Doppelganger… Hey system, is a doppelganger able to replicate the Nine Tailed System?'
*Ding*
*The Nine Tailed System in general is owned from the host, but a doppelganger can copy the spirits and the Nine Tailed Chakra Gate due to them being part of him.*
Marco: Hoho… This will get funny really fast…
Marco just walked towards the doppelganger's voice, before he used Sylph's powers to cover himself with wind to make him faster, and used Serene Mind to conceal his intent.
*Ding*
*Serene Mind activated, duration: 0:30*
It increased of 10 seconds from the last time, thanks to his training. He started to jump on trees, and soon he found Alice waiting for him with a smirk, but she was a doppelganger.
Then Marco used the tree's branch as a trampoline, and jumped in air. After some backflips, he used Gnome's powers to greatly increase his weight, and fell on the doppelganger's tail.
*Ding*
*Special Quest[Successful]: Stomp the Doppelganger's tail*
Alice?: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Her scream was heard in the entire forest, birds that were far away even flew away in surprise.
Marco walked away from her tail, which was practically snapped in two, probably the doppelganger didn't even had that much power compared with the real deal.
Then Marco, with a smirk, said.
Marco: So… What's doing a doppelganger here?
Alice?'s expression turned from a pained one to a shocked one.
Alice?: How… How did you know!?
Marco: Hehe, nothing can escape my third eye…
Alice?: You… Y-You already mastered the third eye technique!? At that age?!
Marco: Bullshit, I just knew it.
Her eyebrow twitched and said with a bit of anger.
Alice?: Alright… I'll make you pay by raping you with your body… Transform!
She started to turn to dust, before it started to take a familiar and yet unfamiliar shape. She turned into Marco, however… Her version had boobs…
It was a bit embarrassing to stare at oneself's opposite genre's version, and she took the version of himself at 18 years.
In short, if someone saw them together, they would take them as little brother and bigger sister.
Just try to imagine a female Marco, then make her around 6 feet, make her brown hair stretch to her back, give her penetrating red eyes, like in Kakegurui.
Give her a bit big breasts covered from a small shirt, which reveals her thin abdomen, and give her tight black trousers, to make her big ass look better.
Marco 2: Wh…!? What is this!? This… This power…! I've never felt anything like it…! How can this be? How can such a small human like you wield this intense power? I feel like I can clash against a Heavenly Knight and probably even win…
Marco: 'Nope… If I was able to use Kurama Gate then I could take all 4 of them alone, even if with some difficulty.'
Marco 2: I must have this. Such incredible power is wasted on a moron like you…
Marco: Tch, you are the waste here.
Marco turned himself in the Chakra Gate, the doppelganger smirked and did the same, but there was no difference with Marco's power.
Marco/Marco 2: Let's go!
Then they disappeared and appeared back in the middle of the field, with their punches crashing against each other, however, Marco didn't deactivated Gnome, and so the doppelganger's left hand already broke.
Marco 2: What!?
Marco: You think that just because you are me you will be able to kill me… Dream on!
Then Marco's fist opened into a palm and he shot out a wind blast, making him fly away from her.
The Doppelganger could be able to use the spirits' powers and the Nine Tailed Chakra Gates, however she and him shares a weak point.
Their regeneration is strong enough to heal from cuts, cracked bones, or bruises, however if something is broken, like the doppelganger's arm, then it can't be healed normally unless she uses Undine's help for healing.
However she has only the basic spirits' powers, she doesn't have the spirits themselves, so her arm is permanently broken.
And the last two weak points that only the doppelganger possess while he doesn't… The first is his willpower, which is strong enough to not be able to be affected from many mind spells.
And imagination… Marco came from another world, where imagination is everything, if you want to fly, then there are planes, rockets, spacecraft… However in this world, people's mind is stuck on a medieval level, and even for the first thing discovered from humanity, the fire, is a gift from an angel here, who taught them how to use it.
From his place they discovered it from natural causes, and they learned how to use it themselves, this is already an abyssal difference that couldn't be covered even after a thousand of years.
His spells came from the studies that he learned at school, chemistry, physics, math, and mostly of all, practice.
If Marco and the doppelganger tried to make plasma using the fire element, Marco could do with a really intense training by slowly increasing the temperature with Salamander, it needs a really long time, but it's still possible, however the doppelganger would just ask "What is Plasma?".
The doppelganger tried to imitate his jump by shooting wind from her remaining hand, but she was unable to calculate how much strength she needed and was flung at the tree, Marco took this opportunity to fill himself with Sylph's powers and dash at the doppelganger.
However, before Marco could pierce her, from her chest appeared a chakra arm and gripped on Marco's wrist before it could touch her body.
Marco 2: Hehe, this isn't enough to beat me…
Marco: Well, I let you transform in me so I could have a fun time, it would be a shame if you would lose so easily…
Marco 2: You-
Marco: You're underestimating me! You'll say…
Marco 2: You're underestimati- *Gasp* How did you know?!
Marco: Jojo reference.
Marco 2: Jojo-wha-
Before she could finish her question, Marco's hand shot out a fireball at the Doppelganger, who used another chakra arm to block the hit, however it wasn't his objective to hit her, but to distance himself and create a smokescreen around her.
And now the real clash started.
