Chapter 66 - Theo’s Real Skills

Alea and Theo headed straight to their next location

It might be their instinct or whatsoever, but the monsters began emerging from the forest behind them.

Roar.

Roar.

Theo took a glance at them and clicked his tongue. "Do you know how to lose them?"

"We go to the forest one miles from here. However, the entrance should be filled with monsters like this too." Alea shook her head helplessly. All the thoughts in her head led to a situation where they needed to break through them.

Her abilities were enough to do something like that, but Theo was ten to fifteen levels below the monsters, so she worried about him even though Theo's ability was above average.

"Understood." Theo nodded with a serious expression. His eyes still contained a belief that they would be able to survive this ordeal.

Alea contemplated for a second and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"

Theo didn't answer immediately as he fell into deep thought. 'Since the situation is this dire, I will surely use my Clone and Magic Bullet, but unlike the latter, my clone won't have a weapon right now. Well, I will be exposed, but it's better than dying, so…'

After reaching a decision, he asked, "Do you have any weapon with you? Spear is preferable."

Alea shook her head. "I have a shield and a sword for backup. Do you need a weapon?"

"Yes. Give me the sword." Theo nodded with a serious expression.

Alea then came closer and matched his pace. "There is a pocket on the side of my bag. Open it and you will find a small sword's handle."

Theo nodded and carefully opened it, finding a white block that fit the description of a sword handle. He grabbed it without hesitation and asked, "How do I use this? I'm sorry that I'm too poor to even know something like this."

"Just say 'Activate' and the sword will come out or you can pour your magic power. It will then drain your Magic Power bit by bit automatically. But it's not at the level you need to worry about."

Theo looked at this white handle and opened his mouth. "Activate."

The golden stripe in the middle of the handle glowed and drained a little amount of his Magic Power. A translucent orange light gradually emerged from the sword, creating a one-foot blade translucent blade.

"Do you need the shield?" Alea asked.

"I don't know, but will it be okay for me to keep it as another trump card?" Theo asked.

"Sure. I have confidence that I can break through them, but I don't know if you…" Alea shook her head as her expression turned serious. She then went in the opposite direction and showed the same pocket on the bag. "It's on the other side."

Theo nodded and grabbed a blue handle before nodding his head. "I have both of them."

"What are you going to do with it?"

Theo summoned the clone that perfectly looked like him and handed both the sword and the shield to him. "This is what I want to do."

"Eh?! Is that an illusion? No. It's a clone, right? If I'm not wrong, the temple that issued your card was the Vanguard Temple… Then, does it mean you are actually a Magic Warrior, not a Fighter?" Alea widened her eyes in surprise, never expecting that she needed to reevaluate Theo after knowing this.

"That's not important. I'm going to have my clone be the 'Knight' while I support you from behind. I don't accept any objection," Theo commanded with a serious expression.

"Fine, fine. You look like you're smarter than me, so I will give you the command. I will follow your order for our survival." Alea agreed without hesitation, knowing that Theo might be hiding something more. Because she didn't know anything about this hidden power, it was better for Theo to give the order since he would give the best command for both of them.

"Sure thing." Theo nodded as they continued running through the savanna. They realized that the monsters started coming out from all directions as they tried to stay in a safe place after an Earthquake like earlier.

Both of them continued running for a few minutes while discussing how they were going through this problem.

"Ultimately, that cave will be the place where we can stay alive. The effect will stop after ten hours, so we can return at night while making another breakthrough. Are you ready?"

"Alright. Let's stop talking, the monsters are waiting in front of us." Theo shook his head as his expression turned cold. His clone also raised both shield and sword, charging from the very front.

Although he didn't have good enough skill to use both of them, he should be able to block and kill a couple of monsters before it went down.

Alea turned her head and found five different monsters. Four of them were four-legged monsters, while the other one stood on its two feet. She didn't have enough time to describe their appearances even in her head and took her vision for granted. "What are we going to do?"

"There will be more monsters behind them. Focus on the two on the right since they seem to be the weakest and kill them. Every second will be precious for us, so going around is not an option. You take the right one, and my clone takes the left one. I will create a distraction for the other three."

"Okay." Alea complied as she wondered how Theo would create that "distraction" since he never used anything that could be used for something like that.

Suddenly, she was stunned when she saw blue light come out of Theo's hand, forming into a head-size blue light ball.

"Seriously?" Alea made a weird smile as she truly couldn't measure Theo's strength right now. At the same time, it fired her heart up as she switched her hand and held the sword with her left hand.

Her expression soon turned cold as she didn't have any shred of emotion to joke around. She opened her mouth, letting Theo know something with her cold tone. "I'm not going to be in your way. Do whatever you think it's the best."

"Understood." Theo nodded and split the ball into ten as he shot them. "Magic Bullet."
