Chapter 900 - The World's Strongest Ant

"Boom!"

The air pressure hit Theo directly, kicking up all the sand in his surroundings. However, they soon fell and settled down, revealing Theo's situation.

"Huh?" Mark widened his eyes, surprised to see there was no injury in Theo's body. In fact, Theo didn't seem to bother to move.

Theo smiled and said, "You're literally bullying me. A level 600 expert is getting worked up to beat a newbie. Such a disappointment."

Mark gritted his teeth and shouted back, "In a life and death battle, no one sees your level."

Without hesitation, Mark flew forward, trying to grab him first to check his power. Unlike his wind power, Theo's element had yet to be determined.

Theo smiled and raised his sword. His Magic Power fluctuated as he used the Magic Augmentation.

The moment Mark arrived in front of him, he slashed downwards, striking his glove.

Mark planned to use his right hand to withstand this slash while utilizing the other hand to grasp him, but he underestimated Theo's ability.

The moment the sword struck his glove, Theo's Magic Power Expansion and Magic Augmentation released its true might, producing a shock wave that cracked the ground open.

Mark gritted his teeth while feeling the power of the shock wave. It wasn't something that he couldn't deal with. However, he looked down on Theo earlier, never expecting something this powerful coming from him.

He ultimately fell to the ground with his feet gradually getting buried under the sand.

The stake of the battle was too big, so he immediately tried to find a way to escape from this situation.

With a single wave of his hand, the wind picked up the sand and carried it to Theo's mask to blind him.

Theo released his Telekinesis to disperse them.

'This is my first time using a sword technique…' Theo thought, recalled what he envisioned back in Italy, and smiled.

This sword technique was something he devised together with Lorenzo. It was for Maya originally, but because he was using a sword right now, he thought this duel would be the perfect time to unleash it.

His sword suddenly slid away and moved to the ground. But before it touched the ground, a blue light covered the sword and flew forward, looping around Theo's body and hitting Mark from above.

"!!!" Mark widened his eyes in shock and summoned a torrential wind to the top of his head, stopping this blue light from cutting him.

Theo's counterattack didn't stop there. The moment he was occupied with that one light, he leaped back to gain some distance and slashed his sword forward.

The blade released another light.

Mark pushed his left hand forward and formed another wind barrier, but this was the time the blue light split into eight, going in all directions. The eight smaller lights curved and reached Mark's back, stunning not only Mark but also the two Mythical Rank Experts on the roof.

"What?!" Mark immediately released all his wind to his surroundings to stop all these lights.

Due to the sharpness of Theo's attack, the wind could only block them for one second before crumbling. Still, it was enough for Mark to leap away, avoiding the attack.

He didn't lower his guard anymore. His eyes were glued to Theo, preparing for any surprise attack from him.

Meanwhile, Emma crossed her arms and asked, "Did you see that?"

"Yeah. That kind of Control… I'm afraid his Control has already reached Master if not Grandmaster Level."

"For real?" Emma raised her eyebrows, a bit doubting Kain's assessment.

"That's not all. Haven't you realized how he has been controlling the flow of the match this whole time?" Kain's expression turned grim as he realized something even bigger than Theo's Control.

"You don't mean…" Emma fell silent, and her eyes turned back to Theo.

"His Awareness might have reached Prediction Eyes Level." Kain nodded. "From the looks of it, he's not that old yet. Do you know his age? Maybe your son has any idea?"

"No. I have no idea."

"I don't know why but his voice is a bit on the younger side… He might be younger than Mark. No wonder Sir Hendry brought him to the company personally." Kain smiled, praising Hendry in his heart.

"Watching this battle tonight is worth it, I guess." Emma smirked, becoming a bit interested in Theo.

On the other hand, Theo continued his onslaught. Since Mark had his turn earlier, this was the time for him to attack.

Theo disappeared from his sight. But without the help of the wind, Theo's speed was slower than Mark's.

Before he even reached him, Mark had already spun his body and pushed his hand forward, releasing all the wind stored around his right hand.

When Theo reemerged, the wind struck him and burst out.

"Boom!"

The dust and the sand were kicked up and covered Theo's body.

Before the dust came down, Theo emerged from the cloud of dust while waving his hand.

"What? Why are you fine after taking a direct hit from my Air Blast?" Mark gasped and extended his hands forward to grab Theo's sword.

Little did he know, Theo utilized his Illusion Destruction to neutralize both Air Blasts. Instead of disintegrating the wind power like he normally did, he chose to take another step forward by making a realistic illusion of what would happen if the wind hit him, which was the explosion.

Obviously, no one could replicate such a thing. Only Theo could do it due to his special eyes.

Skill: Air Blast (B)

Effect: The user can release air/wind over a specific target area causing great damage and delivering great shock waves of pure force.

Theo was truly thankful for his special eyes because he knew what the opponents could do. At the same time, he was a bit concerned because Mark had only released three different skills this whole time while he used four. This showed Mark's true power.

Nevertheless, the winner would take it all. Theo didn't plan to waste too much time fighting him.

"!!!" Mark felt something coming out of the ground and approaching his back. The energy fluctuation was there, but he didn't know why he felt the one that approached him was smaller than his finger.

Even though he couldn't understand what was going on, Mark still released his wind to blow this little thing away.

Unexpectedly, this action invited a chuckle from Theo as he said, "You sure you want to take that on?"

"What are—!" His body soon trembled as his body was blown to the wall as if a truck had just hit him from behind.

Before crashing to the barrier, he managed to glance back to see what was going on and gulped down when he saw a small ant falling on top of Theo's finger.

This was the world's strongest ant.
