Chapter 1401 Killing the Source of Trouble
Theo immediately informed Ava about their change of plan. Ava immediately leaped to Theo to regroup with him. But their real target was none other than Airvans.
While they regrouped, Theo and Ava headed straight to Airvans to kill him on this one occasion.
"No, you don't!" Eric hurriedly lifted the ground and created a spiral as if it was trying to confuse Theo with its shape.
But the spiral actually wasn't Eric's fault. He originally wanted to create a wall to stop Theo so that he could catch up, but Theo used his Twisted Reality to create a spiral with a hole in the middle, allowing him and Ava to pass the obstacle without wasting a single second.
Seeing Theo and Ava coming for him, Airvans endured the pain of his disfigured face and hurriedly summoned all the water in their surroundings. Many ropes made of water formed as they wrapped Theo and Ava's limbs to stop them.
But Theo used his Twisted Reality again to twist the water, making it turn in another direction and resulting in them not being able to catch up to Theo anymore.
"What is this ability?" Airvans dropped his jaws to the ground as he ran away, trying to distance himself as far as he could. He didn't know how Theo could become this strong, but it was clear that something had happened on the other battlefield.
Suddenly, Theo smirked and asked, "It seems that you have been abandoned by your master."
"Huh?" Airvans' eyebrows twitched while Eric shouted, "Don't be distracted. He just wanted to distract you!"
Unfortunately, not many people were aware that Theo couldn't lie. Although it would be good that Airvans had a doubt if he knew that wasn't a lie, there were more advantages if only a few people knew about his rules.
Ava leaped into the air and Theo hurriedly extended his sword. As soon as she landed on his sword, Theo threw her so that she could catch up with Airvans.
Airvans gritted his teeth and felt Eric's power.
As soon as Ava caught up, she struck his face to crush his skull. The face exploded, but Theo shouted, "It's an illusion!"
"!!!" Ava widened her eyes as Airvans' crushed figure disappeared and another Airvans only one foot away from this illusion appeared. He struck Ava by utilizing the confusion Eric created.
It turned out Eric faked Airvans' death with his illusion and it worked against Ava. Theo clicked his tongue and asked Ava to handle Eric since he was going to kill Airvans here.
Still, this was Ava's weakness. She truly couldn't see which one was the illusion since Eric was simply that good. He was just overwhelmed by Theo's Reality Order this whole time, rendering his power useless.
But when Ava turned around, she saw ten Erics standing before her.
Theo snapped his fingers and removed the illusion as he continued toward Airvans.
Now that she had found him and focused on the real Eric, Ava only needed to kill this guy and ignore the rest of the illusion.
Eric summoned more illusions again since he could replace himself with illusion while moving away to avoid Ava's attack just like what he showed her with Airvans.
Ava summoned all the lightning balls and caused them to let out a huge spark, destroying everything in their surroundings. Since he spread them, even Eric wouldn't escape from the spark.
"Kh!" All Erics were destroyed, leaving one that was crawling on the ground as if trying to move away unnoticed. Without hesitation, Ava leaped to him and struck him with her claws, ripping apart her head.
"Your illusion won't work anymore!"
Eric died in Ava's hands, or so she thought. The illusion suddenly disappeared as the real Eric appeared behind her with a sword in his hand, stabbing her. "Or so you thought…"
But Theo also did the exact same thing and thrust Eric's stomach. "I know you're going to do this."
"Huh? Gah." Eric spat a mouthful of blood in shock.
Theo had seen how Eric used his illusion to summon another person and used them to attack his mother. So, he thought Eric would do the same thing if Ava faked her weakness.
Yes. Theo had asked Ava to fake her weakness by not being able to see through his illusion. That act managed to lower Eric's guard, allowing Theo to take him out by surprise.
Eric widened his eyes in shock while glancing back, finding Theo had stopped chasing after Airvans.
He realized the entire plan and said, "You…"
Despite piercing his heart, Theo was completely annoyed. After seeing his brutality, Theo truly wanted to let Eric experience a brutal death, but this wasn't the time for it. He had to see the bigger picture and focus on their objectives.
Since Theo managed to kill him, Ava leaped to his foot.
Theo then kicked Ava's feet, giving her a boost to catch up to Airvans. "Catch up to him!"
"Got it." Ava nodded with a serious expression.
Meanwhile, Theo looked at Eric and moved his sword around. "This is for my childhood."
"Gaaaaahhhhhh!" Eric screamed in pain. The pain of having his body torn into pieces was extremely painful.
According to some research, there were a few seconds that your body and mind thought you were still alive and experienced all the pains even after your head was severed.
So, Theo took these few seconds to let go of that emotion in his heart and rip him apart to give as much pain as possible.
.
"This is for my big brother and family." Theo moved around and stabbed him a few times.
"Aaaaaaahhhh!" Eric continuously screamed in pain as his body was sliced apart. The blood splattered on the ground and the pain had been increased by Theo's illusion, making him suffer as much as possible in the last few seconds of his life.
"This is for everything you've done to me!"
"Aaaaaaahhhhh!"
Unfortunately, Eric gradually lost his energy and consciousness as he finally died.
Only then did Theo let go of his sword, watching Eric's body fall to the ground.
"Tsk. I could only do that much after you ruined my childhood." Theo clicked his tongue. If not for this man, he would have a great older brother who he could look up to. If not for him, his family situation wouldn't be this complicated. And if not for him, his childhood would be filled with love. He wanted to make him experience the same thing he had endured for so long, but unfortunately, the situation didn't allow him to do it.
Still, it didn't change the fact that Theo had killed the one that ruined his family.
Theo looked at the sky with a long sigh.
"Damnit."
