Ascension Step, 8th Step.
The moment the pressure hit the ground, the crater expanded. It was even as far as two hundred feet in diameter.
Every monster was already stuck to the ground, unable to rise anymore.
As expected from a Divine Technique, the power was beyond anyone's expectation. Though, Theo wasn't in good condition either. If he used this ability with more than half of his Magic Power in the past, he managed to use it with only a third of Magic Power today.
Even so, that kind of number wasn't low either. In addition to all the skills he had used until now, the Magic Power in his body remained only forty percent. He needed to take some time to recover his Magic Power before challenging the Flying Frog King.
Still, the power of Theo's strongest ability was too powerful.
Some of the monsters, especially the flying monsters with soft bones, were crushed by the pressure and died. Some monsters with a powerful defense simply stood on their knees while glaring at Theo as though they had yet to give up under this pressure. The rest had at least a broken bone in their body.
Theo shouted, "Kill them from afar unless you want to die."
"!!!" The people from the Star Group could see what happened to the monsters, so no one dared to step forward.
They followed Theo's instruction and released their attacks from a distance, trying to kill the monsters that couldn't fight back anymore.
Even Clone Theo released a roar as well as a beam out of his mouth to kill multiple monsters at once.
However, the pressure was indeed too strong. Their attacks immediately curved to the ground when they entered the pressure field, and they ended up attacking upward so it could create a parabolic movement and eventually hit the targets.
And because of the Magic Power consumption, Theo could only stop them for a few seconds before the pressure vanished.
Luckily, Theo managed to kill 27 Supreme Rank Monsters and 13 monsters earlier while the rest killed twenty of them, leaving only sixty more monsters that were still alive. Though, most of them were injured in one way or another.
To kill 40 Supreme Rank Monsters didn't require that much Magic Power if Theo fought normally, but because he needed to take more than one hundred monsters simultaneously, his Magic Power consumption skyrocketed.
'It's quite hard.' Theo sighed while assessing their situation. Since the monsters had started getting up, Theo shouted, "Only half of them remain, with most of them suffering some injuries… There's no need to hold back anymore."
All of them exchanged looks, agreeing to what Theo said. They only had one thought in their mind.
"Kill them!"
Without hesitation, they moved forward and started fighting the monsters.
Theo also took this chance to kill another thirty monsters since he knew which ones should be targeted first.
In the end, Theo killed a total of seventy monsters while the rest took down more than fifty monsters.
There was only twenty percent Magic Power left in Theo's body. Even he was quite exhausted after this fight.
Seeing all the corpses on the ground made everyone gulp down. This was the first time they saw so many Supreme Rank Corpses in one place.
Theo hurriedly stepped forward and glared at all these people, saying, "I will take all the Flying Frogs. Any objections?"
Theo's tone brooked no argument. As a staff of the Star Group, they needed to quickly make their decision. And with Theo's power, there was no need to consider it.
"That's fair. In fact, you can take half of our kills too. After all, we couldn't do anything without your power," said the staff with a serious expression. These corpses were tempting as they should have no problem getting a few million even with what they killed. However, it wasn't enough to make them fight an S Rank Talent.
Theo squinted his eyes and looked at the group who suffered the most before saying, "I only need the Flying Frogs and the monsters I killed earlier. That's all. You can donate the rest to that guy who has lost one arm."
"!!!" They widened their eyes and turned to that person, never expecting Theo to be this generous.
If it was another person, they would just accept it.
The one-armed guy dropped his weapon and couldn't help but lower his head. "Thank you so much."
With only one hand, he would lead a hard life in the future. The money from these monsters would certainly help him in a big way. That was why he was so grateful to Theo.
"Also, I need to make sure you delete any records about this fight." Theo squinted his eyes, giving them a cold gaze.
Theo had no popularity in the Star Group, even though his strength was this shocking. There was only one possibility. Theo intentionally hid his strength this whole time. Of course, he wanted them to delete any records about the fight.
They exchanged looks, and the guy, who already knew Theo's real assessment, nodded his head. "I'd like to ask all of you as well. Please delete the record."
Little did they know, all their decisions were affected by the power Theo showed earlier. Although it was risky to use his Ascension Step since it was the Wind Emperor's Divine Technique, it had been decades since the Wind Emperor used it. So, not many people knew about it.
Obviously, he also had prepared for the rumor about his strength to spread. In fact, he wanted them to spread his power from mouth to mouth.
This way, the spies in the company would also know a bit more about him.
The only reason Theo did all this was due to Mark's incident.
If he didn't show them anything, he was afraid there would be another 'Mark' who challenged him just to see his real power. To avoid them, he simply needed to show them a bit of his power from time to time.
After confirming they had deleted the videos, Theo turned all the monsters except the Flying Frogs into cards.
"With these 8 Flying Frogs, your total kill is 11. We shouldn't have a problem taking all these 8 frogs back to the camp… Consider it as thanks for helping us kill these monsters," said the staff while glancing at the group.
"Okay. I'll leave them to you. I'll head back to update my kill count after dealing with the Flying Frog King.." Theo nodded his head and walked away.
