Chapter 256 - Laust’s Blessing
"Match Starts!"
All the eyes in the arena turned sharp as Phyrill and Laust set off.
Marco and Lavinia also responded accordingly, stopping them in the middle of the arena. Behind them stood Enrica, who seemed to be able to help them as soon as a wound appeared on their body, so Theo didn\'t waste a single second to unleash something he had shown to the world.
He summoned his clone as they formed four Magic Bullets each before splitting them into a total of eighty Magic Bullets.
"!!!" It took all of them by surprise as Theo just confirmed that his clone could indeed use the same skill as him. It wasn\'t his teleportation skill alone, but all skills!
Even Enrica started getting the pressure from it as she raised both hands, covering them in golden patterns.
Theo released all eighty Magic Bullets at the same time, shooting half of them to Marco and Lavinia while the rest went straight to Enrica.
"Protection!" Enrica erected a translucent sphere to protect herself.
All forty Magic Bullets hit her and Enrica felt more pressure than the one she received during the second battle.
Little did she know, all real Magic Bullets hit her while the cloned Magic Bullets went to the other two, exerting enough pressure for Laust and Phyrill to make their move.
Lavinia and Marco quickly stepped away to dodge the bullets, resulting in them moving a bit closer to each other.
"Lycanthrope Transformation."
"Dragon Transformation."
Both Marco and Phyrill had transformed to their respective form as Phyrill waved his sword at the same time as Marco was sweeping his claw.
Bam.
A powerful shock wave shook the arena as the two stopped each other with their power.
Meanwhile, Lavinia raised her right foot and kicked Laust on the stomach. Laust stopped it with his sword, but Lavinia\'s strength was slightly higher than him, so he took a step back.
Since Theo had the first move against her teammates, Enrica waved her right hand and created five white spheres. All of them were glowing, but it didn\'t appear that way because the sunlight was brighter than them.
Still, Enrica released all five of them at the same time.
Two of them flew to Laust as the latter threw himself to the side while Phyrill didn\'t even bother to stop it because he noticed Theo\'s presence next to him.
He took a peek at Theo\'s condition and realized the lights seemed to have some sort of homing effect as one of them was still chasing Theo.
Theo formed two Elemental Shields and passed next to Phyrill, receiving the attacks that came for Phyrill.
After blocking the two, Theo continued his way toward Enrica with the light chasing him.
"…" Enrica sighed as she observed Theo for a moment before releasing the same shield right before they collided with each other.
At the same time, Theo\'s body disappeared as he just used his Blink to arrive behind her, resulting in the light hitting her.
Bam.
Enrica blocked the attack easily while turning around, catching Theo\'s hand before he thrust his spear.
However, the clone that had been following him raised his spear, gathering the energy to the tip of his spear.
Theo smiled and kicked her on the stomach, blowing her to his clone, but as one would expect from Italy Team Leader.
She only took a few small steps to stop the force while creating a small sphere to surround her. "Protection."
"Cannon Blast." Clone Theo thrust his spear right at the sphere as the energy dispersed and hit all over the sphere\'s surface, albeit it still failed to destroy the barrier.
The Real Theo smiled and came with his spear, using a different skill whose main purpose was to break something.
"Swift Energy." Theo thrust his spear three times according to the skill\'s description, cracking the shield.
"…" Enrica furrowed her eyebrows and saw Theo shatter the barrier.
Surprisingly, Enrica took a peek at her teammates instead of focusing on Theo\'s spear. This took Theo by surprise as he tried to comprehend Enrica\'s eyes.
After all, Enrica was his opponent, not his teammate. Unlike Alea, who told him her secret, Enrica knew when to open her mouth and when she was required to keep her mouth shut.
This created a certain level of doubt as he couldn\'t go for a full offense because those eyes might show their true power at unexpected times.
For the time being, Enrica surprised him by receiving her spear with her bare hand, allowing Theo to pierce her palm. She didn\'t even let out a single sound, even though it must be painful.
Her focus remained on Laust and Lavinia at this point.
"!!!" Theo widened his eyes and realized how she wanted to help them despite being surrounded by two Theos.
Before Clone Theo arrived right in front of her, Enrica already shot a powerful bullet-size light sphere, flying like that of a bullet from her forefinger.
"Laust!"
Laust glanced at Theo and located Enrica\'s attack. He gritted his teeth and leaned to the side to avoid it, but the attack accelerated and pierced his side.
Blood began to drip, but Laust faced another problem. After seeing Laust\'s condition, Lavinia shamelessly sent another kick to Laust\'s wound to make him experience more pain.
Laust grabbed her foot with his other hand, but it wasn\'t enough to stop him. His hand was pushed back until it pressed the wound.
"Argh!" The pain jolted his mind as he gritted his teeth.
Lavinia felt his grip become weaker and pushed him back before launching him to the air.
Laust spun a few times in the air, rolled on the ground, and stopped while glaring at her.
"Kh."
He gritted his teeth while asking himself. \'Is this really my limit? Will I be confined by this fate and suffer for the rest of my life?\'
Laust grasped his hand and squeezed the dirt inside his hand while glaring at Theo. \'No, I won\'t be someone\'s shadow anymore. I will break free from the family to show the whole world that I am alive! I won\'t die inside that cursed place.\'
Fate worked miraculously. After gaining his resolve, Laust suddenly received a notification before his eyes.
"The Great Minotaur, Bull of Minos, has answered your determination. In order to break free from the cursed chain that will tie you for the rest of your life, he wants you to bear his power and fulfill his wish. Do you accept?"
"!!!"
