Theo raised his hand, using his Telekinesis to lift up some stones from the crater, shooting them at Leonardo.
"Ho?" Leonardo smiled and lowered his sword.
Meanwhile, Clone Theo surprised him by raising a giant boulder from the ground. His face curled up as if he just ate a sour fruit.
"You can do that?" Leonardo slightly raised his eyebrows, realizing that Theo's Telekinesis might be stronger than he thought.
Right after the boulder came to him, he sliced it before waving his sword like that of a huge net, catching all the stones and launching them away.
The moment the boulder flew past him and the stones landed on the ground, all of them suddenly disappeared without a trace, showing Leonardo that they were nothing but an illusion.
Leonardo soon widened his eyes when two Theos appeared next to him, plunging their spears.
He bent down his knees and avoided the spears while both Theos kicked his legs.
Unfortunately for them, Leonardo's reaction speed was faster. He hurriedly caught both feet with his hands before sensing two more presences coming from behind and the front.
"Hmm." Leonardo furrowed his eyebrows and did a handstand while using Theo's feet as the anchor.
He kicked the two incoming Theos and knocked them down. After that, he crushed both feet, resulting in two Theos suddenly vanishing into thin air.
It turned out they were just a mere illusion.
"That's quite realistic. I can even touch them like that of a human instead of a lump of Magic Power." Leonardo was impressed by Theo's illusion. He also understood that the boulder and stones derived from the same technique.
Little did he know, they were different. The rocks came from his Illusion Construct while using his Illusion Manipulation to control Leonardo's senses, trying to make it look real. Meanwhile, his clones were made purely from Illusion Manipulation.
Leonardo didn't care about this kind of detail as he said, "I think you need—"
Before he could finish his words, Clone Theo used his Blink to appear in front of him and struck his sword. At the same time, a wall was erected from the ground, covering the right side of Leonardo's vision.
Theo took this chance to pierce through the wall, albeit his spear stopped for an unknown reason.
When his clone lowered his vision, he saw Leonardo slightly adjusting his sword, allowing him to catch Theo's spear with the sword's handle.
"The illusion is good." Leonardo smiled and spun his body, pulling Theo in before gripping his wrist.
"Not good." Theo panicked for a second as the real Theo hurriedly struck his hand with his spear to prevent whatever Leonardo planned to do.
On the contrary, Leonardo welcomed this kind of reaction and swung Theo to his clone with a single spin, launching both of them away.
"Kh." Theo and his clone struggled to get up.
"Your illusion is indeed excellent. To be honest, I don't need to worry about you fighting other people at your level. I believe you can defeat them easily. What I am worried about is the fact you're stretching your own skill…" Leonardo shook his head helplessly.
"I have seen your videos in the Grand Gaia Competition and saw a few similar skills. Have you changed them to a newer one?" Leonardo asked.
"I have changed them," Theo replied with a calm tone. He didn't lie since ranking them up meant replacing their rank or the card itself.
"So, you go with a similar skill?"
Theo let out a long sigh.
"I see. Your fighting skill is known to many people, so I believe you should change some more. Well, I saw some changes like that boulder illusion and your enhancement power. What are you going to show me after this?" Leonardo asked.
Theo took a deep breath as his clone turned into a tiger.
Although it was still too weak, Theo channeled his killing intent into his Magic Power, releasing it like a thread carried by the wind and hitting Leonardo's mind.
It immediately brought out a natural tiger's aura, alarming Leonardo. "His shape? Is it transformation or illusion?"
Even Leonardo had a hard time telling it because of the additional killing intent.
Without hesitation, Clone Theo leaped toward him while trying to bite his neck.
Leonardo extended his hand, grasping Theo's neck, but he soon felt incoming threats from the sky.
When he was about to destroy the Magic Bullets from the sky, another wave of Magic Bullets looped around the tiger body and attacked his left side.
This way, there were three incoming attacks from different directions, forcing Leonardo to think which one he should block.
Surprisingly, Leonardo grasped Tiger Theo's neck and swung him to the side, using his body to receive all the Magic Bullets. Meanwhile, he waved his sword to send the Magic Power to destroy all bullets above his head.
This was when the real Theo appeared and struck Leonardo's waist, only to find the latter leaning his body in the opposite direction to avoid the spear.
"Woah, it's dangerous." Leonardo smiled, not wanting to lose.
Clone Theo disappeared because of the Magic Bullets, but Theo already expected it and summoned another clone as the two used their Blink to surround Leonardo from two sides.
After that, Theo summoned the shield from his Ring of Honor in another direction while sending another Magic Bullet from above and his left.
This way, Leonardo was surrounded from all directions with the real Theo in front of him.
Theo smiled at his grandfather as if telling him, 'You can't use my real body to block those bullets, right?'
'Tsk. Clever kid.' Leonardo also smirked, understanding Theo's thought. And with his stance and Clone Theo's position, he couldn't do the same thing as earlier. So, Leonardo had no other way to escape.
Though, Leonardo seemed to have another trump card as he opened his mouth. "Or so you think…"
What Leonardo never expected was the sudden crack on the ground.
"!!!" Leonardo lowered his vision and saw Ava coming out of the ground while releasing her lightning. "Little rabbit?"
"Kyu!" Ava cutely smiled as she kicked Leonardo's stomach.
