Chapter 1569 Exhausted

"Checkmate."

The octagram suddenly shone and shot a ray of light down from the center, illuminating everything below it.

The light was so strong that it felt like the octagram acted as a magnifier glass, amplifying the sunlight.

"I WON'T DIE!" The Poison King shouted while releasing all his poison, covering himself to melt the light itself. "Haaaa!"

He was soon swallowed by the light as the latter tried to evaporate him.

The light was blinding, but it didn't last long. There was a huge hole on the planet the Poison King stood on as if everything within that light had been pulverized.

However, as expected from the top twenty experts in the world, the Poison King's body was still intact.

Although he lost his left arm and leg, the Poison King was still breathing.

"Ha… Ha…" The Poison King panted a few times as his body grew weaker and weaker. Despite his current condition, the Poison King had yet to give up, believing he would be able to survive.

As if the ray of hope had appeared, the Poison King couldn't help but smile.

The universe that Theo had created suddenly crumbled into pieces, and the terrain returned to normal.

"This is…" The Poison King tried to look around to see his savior before finding the original Theo standing in front of him.

"You are still useful." Theo's words stuck in his mind because this was how the original Theo usually spoke. They might be a master and a subordinate, but unlike Theo, who treated his people like a family, the original Theo strictly applied the formal relationship.

With the addition of similar clothing, the Poison King knew Theo had rescued him. "Yes. Let's get away from here first!"

There was hope in the Poison King's eyes before he suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"No, wait. Theo has been missing this whole time!" The Poison King remembered that the moment Theo helped Leonardo in enhancing his attack, he never appeared before him anymore.

In other words, Theo was purposely hiding from him.

This would be a perfect rescue operation if he didn't realize this, but he hurriedly took a glance to the side, finding the original Theo and the clone Theo were still fighting.

"You—" The Poison King tried to attack the one before him, but the latter had turned around while summoning a sword in his hand.

"It seems that you've realized it." Theo smirked and cut his neck before the Poison King could do anything.

The Poison King fell into despair in his last moment as he watched his body without a head anymore. His consciousness soon disappeared as he finally died.

"Haha, you're next!" Theo smirked and glared at the original Theo. After removing all threats from the Griffith Family, Theo could finally focus on the original Theo.

"Tsk!" The original Theo gritted his teeth, wondering how he should escape this time. Now that everyone had died, he had to avoid getting surrounded at all costs.

The original Theo hurriedly ran away, and the clone Theo chased after him, not planning to let him go.

Unexpectedly, Theo, who was supposed to be doing the same, actually didn't even move from his spot.

"I have thought about this in our battle, but it seems that you've exhausted most of your power…" Leonardo glanced at Theo. Imitating the power of the strongest people in the world might be extraordinary, but Theo had just acquired this technique and showed it off to everyone.

It was already amazing that he could last this long. That was why in the last fight against the Poison King, Theo was assisting Leonardo instead of personally taking care of the Poison King.

In fact, Leonardo knew the reason why Theo aimed for the people from the Griffith Family instead of the original Theo this whole time because he knew he didn't have enough energy to kill the real Theo.

"Tsk. I guess I can't hide anything from you. Shouldn't you be commanding the army again?" Theo clicked his tongue and looked away.

"It's still manageable for now. As for you… It seems that you are still conserving a part of your power for assurance."

"Yeah. After this, there's no telling what Flora will do. I can easily escape with my group, but I'm bringing a large group of monsters, so I need to have enough power to last a few rounds against her for assurance.

"Do you think I can simply leave after experiencing her betraying me and taking all my plans?"

"I can't say anything about that." Leonardo shook his head. "But I'm afraid that guy and Mason Griffith will become an invisible threat for you."

"I know. I'm prepared to fight them until the end… No, in fact, they're still useful, so I allow them to leave."

"What are you talking about? They're still useful?"

"Yeah. To bring out the higher dimension which has been controlling this reality… They have to be alive." Theo nodded.

"You're still talking about that?" On the one hand, Leonardo couldn't believe this being from a higher dimension. On the other hand, Leonardo realized that the original Theo was progressing abnormally. Yet, it was still within logic as if someone purposely increased his power, but he couldn't raise it to the very limit because it would break the world's law itself.

That was why he started to believe that a being in the higher dimension existed. He just couldn't prove it while Theo was blatantly telling him that he was planning to use the original Theo and Mason to bring out that being.

"I can't keep up with you. You do whatever you want, I'm too old for this shit." Leonardo sighed. "Since everything is fine, I'm going to take the command again. You should use your clone to annihilate the mutated King Class Monsters… though, I don't think I need to tell you that.

"Yeah. Don't worry. I'm going to clean up everything."

"Are you going to go back to live with all of us?"

"Yes and no."

Leonardo glanced at him for a moment before closing his eyes, disappointed. However, he could only return to his post while saying, "I see…"
