Theo saw her performance and was quite surprised. However, it meant they didn't need to worry about her too much because she could take care of herself.
He immediately killed another two monsters. There were only three monsters remaining.
With this, they should be able to kill them within one minute.
However, the situation changed when Theo raised his head as if sensing something.
Instead of following what Theo did, Agata looked down.
"We're surrounded," Agata shouted.
Theo raised his hand and summoned a huge pillar.
Maya looked up and found around twenty birds looping around the pillar.
At the same time, she jumped forward as another worm actually came out of the ground, almost swallowing her.
Maya left another grenade inside the worm's body and killed another one.
However, the explosion immediately grabbed everyone's attention.
"Oh, I'm too popular." Maya gulped down as she looked around to find her escape route.
She soon found Theo lifting his finger as if asking her to come to him.
Surprisingly, Ava already jumped toward him, showing Maya they needed to regroup.
Without hesitation, Maya rushed to Theo, where many worms and birds stood in her way.
Maya frowned for a moment, but she chose to believe in Theo this time, knowing that Theo's strategy shouldn't fail.
As she predicted, Theo indeed had a plan.
The moment they were about to clash, a hundred Magic Bullets fell down and hit all the worms and the birds, stopping them from reaching Maya.
Maya smirked and sneaked past them before changing her weapon to a grenade launcher.
The moment she turned around, she fired several times to destroy them.
The worms somehow covered their skin with rocks before getting in the way, preventing Maya's explosive bullets from reaching a single monster other than them.
"Tsk." Maya clicked her tongue and leaped backward, regrouping with Theo. "What should we do, Theo?"
"There are 40 monsters around us. 33 are in front of us, the rest are coming to us from the west." Agata informed him with a calm expression.
"This is the forest you need. Support us with your smoke. Ava, hit them with all you got. Maya will go with me to launch a surprise attack against those seven monsters. Hold all these monsters for three minutes, okay?"
"Roger."
"Understood."
"Kyu."
The moment the monsters started moving again after Maya's bombardment stopped, Agata released all her pink smoke, enveloping the area with this smoke.
This made the monsters have no idea where to find Agata.
They could only rely on their sensory organ or smell. But this was where Agata started showing what she could do in this situation.
When the birds flew on top of them to see what happened, the monsters that they almost killed earlier died in an instant.
Even the worms suddenly stopped as if they were caught by something, resulting in trees falling on top of them.
Using this chaotic situation, Theo placed his hand on Maya's shoulder and used his Blink to send them right in front of the seven monsters.
Surprisingly, all seven monsters were different from each other. They were a monkey, a tiger, a snake, a worm, a rat, a falcon, and a mantis.
"Geh?" Maya's face went pale as she realized there was only one possibility why all these different animals gathered. They were smart enough to join hands, meaning every single of them was at least an Rare Class Monster.
The monsters halted their movements when they saw Theo and Agata. They weren't like the other monsters who acted based on their instinct.
They were wary of these strangers and immediately realized they were the culprits of this chaos.
"It seems our luck is bad." Maya made a helpless smile.
"No." This is good enough." Theo utilized his Magic Augmentation before using his Magic Power Expansion, covering his spear. He walked forward as if challenging the monsters.
Maya frowned and realized that Theo wanted to grab their attention, so she changed her weapon to a rifle.
Theo raised his left hand and clutched it as multiple vines came out of the ground to grasp them.
All the seven monsters avoided it perfectly as the mantis used its scythe to cut all of them down, releasing crescent-shaped green-colored energy toward Theo and Maya.
Theo struck this energy with his Magic Power Expansion, bursting the energy that destroyed that power and sending a massive shock wave to blow them away.
The tiger stepped forward and let out a roar, stopping the shock wave with his sound wave.
Meanwhile, the monkey, the worm, and the rat looped around to attack Theo and Maya.
The falcon flapped its wings a few times and sent a mighty gale that pushed them back.
The snake then spat out a venomous liquid from its mouth to Maya.
Maya leaped back and raised her aim, shooting the falcon.
The latter flew around to avoid it.
The monkey then appeared next to Maya, preparing to punch her. However, Theo kicked the air and utilized his Telekinesis to launch the monkey away.
To stop Theo, the worm and the rat moved from two different directions.
Theo snorted and sent his Magic Bullet into the ground before turning around to strike the rat with his spear.
The rat used its sharp nails to stop Theo's spear.
The worm was supposed to attack Theo, but it ended up rolling to the side as Magic Bullet came out of the ground.
They had Tracking Ability, so the bullets curved, not letting the worm go. It was at this time the tiger appeared, using its shock wave to destroy the Magic Bullet.
Theo raised his left hand to punch the tiger with his Telekinesis, but he hurriedly retracted it as a sharp scythe almost cut his hand.
This was what Theo meant by having trouble when facing multiple enemies at his levels. They simply could attack him in succession to stop him from attacking them. The enemies would then corner him and eventually defeat him.
Theo's expression remained calm for the time being as he was searching for a way to deal with these monsters.
'No, this is fine. I can see my limit like this.' Theo smiled as he stomped the ground with his Telekinesis and Magic Power, causing a powerful shock wave in all directions, blowing everyone away, including Maya. He looked at all of them as if saying to them, "Come."
Maya only stared at him, thinking, 'Is there a reason for you to push me too?'
