Chapter 1157 Fighting the Griffith Family "Before that, we need to kill them as quickly as possible. Knowing the Griffith Family, they'll most likely send more than one Mythical Rank Expert for me. I don't know what they're planning to do, but we need to eliminate them as soon as possible."
"Got it." Theo nodded.
As soon as they reached an agreement, Theo and Nella jumped in the opposite directions, trying to handle their own opponents.
They deemed Theo to be stronger than Nella because of his Perfect Control, so they had four people surrounding him.
Theo summoned his Death Avatar to boost his power. Although he couldn't deploy the mist to confuse them because Nella would be inside the mist as well, it would be useful to add some attack power.
It seemed that one of the cannon users went to Nella's side, so there was only one cannon that hit him.
Theo used his Death Avatar to slap the cannonball. Of course, he used his own Magic Power to protect himself since the slap actually destroyed the cannonball.
The eruption of Magic Power didn't bother him in the slightest as he moved toward the previous blade user.
According to his observation earlier, this guy actually wanted to attack his mask. It seemed that the Griffith Family had some suspicion about him.
Theo suspected it was due to his Illusion Ability. Luckily, he had planted another double from time to time in the Starry Group. It wouldn't be that much effective to other influences, but the Griffith Family was proud of their information network. So, that body double managed to make them doubt Joker's real identity.
Of course, there was a chance of them suspecting both Joker and the body double to be Theo and his clone. That was why he was thankful for the Time God's help.
With his current Order, Theo could fool them, making his illusion look like a reality.
That was why when this battle happened, Theo planned to create a chance for them to see his real face while letting one of them go. This way, the Griffith Family wouldn't suspect him for the time being.
Theo charged forward and waved his sword against this blade user. The latter also did the same.
Both he and Theo had covered their swords with their skills, so when the two blades clashed, the power contained in the sword exploded, pushing both of them back.
After that, the two fist users came to him again. This time, they punched the ground and created a crater, causing Theo to lose his footing.
In addition, the canon user shot another ball of Magic Power to hit him.
Instead of protecting himself from the Death Avatar, Theo asked the Death Avatar to smack the fist users. At the same time, he took a deep breath and cut the magic ball with his blade while applying Heisk, the Invisible Vortex.
Another wave of Magic Power struck the blade user, stopping him from taking a step forward.
'Tsk. Annoying.' Theo clicked his tongue. He just realized one of his fatal flaws. It was true that his Reality Order could remove any elements and simply brush off the remaining Magic Power.
However, the Griffith Family actually had no affinity. With that kind of Pure Magic Power, Theo could only brush them. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't that simple.
Unlike other people who focused on the help of the element to bring down their enemies, the Griffith Family trained their Control and extraordinary Magic Power, making their power solid.
This resulted in Theo having a hard time brushing their power with his Telekinesis and Control.
It became Theo's fatal flaw as he had yet to make a countermeasure against a person like this since, most of the time, his enemy used elemental power. After all, according to the research, less than 15 percent of the world's population had no affinity. That was why he focused on the 85 percent first.
And now, he had a hard time against those 15 percent.
'I need to kill them quickly. From this hill discussing the battle to the execution, only around ten minutes have passed. Since the Griffith Family has chosen this timing to attack us means they're moving at a fast speed. If we can get rid of all the Supreme Rank Experts, Nella and I should be able to fight against one Mythical Rank Expert just to buy time.' Theo thought as his gaze became sharper.
He was planning to bring down one enemy as soon as possible.
And the easiest target was none other than the cannon user.
Theo leaped to the cannon user while the other three surrounded him from all sides, trying to attack him while he was too focused on the cannon user. Even the latter recalled his cannon and formed a defensive shield instead.
However, Theo actually smiled when he saw that shield.
'I can't do anything to their Magic Power, but I noticed it when I blocked that cannonball… If there is a shape, it seems I can remove the shape. It means in my reality, that shape never exists.' Theo smiled as he waved his sword, striking the shield.
With the help of his Order, the shield suddenly turned back into a scrambling Magic Power.
"Wha—" Everyone who saw this phenomenon widened their eyes as they couldn't believe what just happened.
And it was too late for the cannon user. After cutting through the shield, Theo's sword reached his body and split him into two.
Although they were shocked, the other three continued to hit him, but before that happened, Theo actually moved forward, trying to go to Nella's side.
This thought only appeared when he saw Nella, who luckily looked at his side as well.
With their eyes intertwining, the two seemed to have the same thought.
Magic Saint Fist Style, Twister.
Nella punched the air and created a tornado that blasted away the three people behind Theo while Theo leaped to her side and struck the two guys before using the Death Avatar to block the cannonball.
*Boom!*
Despite never fighting together, it seemed that both of them could understand what the other wanted to do.
