A minute ago in Phyrill's side, the most chaotic side of all, Phyrill dove right into the space between the ape and bear.
"Hello, you zoo animals, nice to meet you." Phyrill smiled even though he knew these two were just data and the real monsters Leca summoned would be stronger than them.
Leca ordered them to attack Phyrill, but before they could even launch an attack, Ellen used her first skill of the day in this place, planning to rain them down with some huge lotuses.
"Ice Lotuses!"
However, before the three lotuses fell to the ground, a loud explosion echoed in their ears as the shock wave greatly shook the ceiling.
"…" Ellen raised her vision and found huge freezing marks on the ceiling. When her vision turned to the left, she found Makkal with his bow as if he just released three arrows to snipe all those three lotuses.
"You won't be able to do anything on my watch." Makkal's lips curved as he challenged Ellen.
"Interesting. It seems I need to teach this boy a bit." Ellen smiled with an unbothered expression as if she didn't mean what she said earlier.
As the two prepared their next move while watching what the others planned to do, Phyrill just hit the ape's gauntlet but couldn't even graze it.
"This metal glove… I am afraid it's expensive." Phyrill narrowed his eyes and asked out loud. "Oi. How much is this glove on the market? It is impossible to buy such a thing at a cheap price in the market, right?"
"You want to buy a more expensive one for me?" Leca smiled sweetly.
"No. I just feel like you can hide inside the glove with that small body of yours." Phyrill shouted.
"But you are shorter than me." Leca tilted her head in confusion. She said shorter instead of smaller because she was proud of having a slim body.
"Since you insulted me, I don't want to play with you anymore." Phyrill snorted and looked away as if he was truly offended by her remarks. Little did she know this gesture was for him to see Theo's current action.
They both agreed that in one minute, they would exchange positions, so he had been waiting for him.
The ape and bear planned to strike Phyrill, but the latter saw Theo summoning all twenty Magic Bullets, so before they hit him, Phyrill transformed into a werewolf again and increased his strength and speed.
Bam.
Both the bear and ape missed Phyrill as he already disappeared, coming to Theo.
…
On the other hand, when she first saw Theo's Magic Bullets, he thought Theo planned to hit him or concentrated it to a certain point where he could kill her. However, it soon changed when she saw Theo taking a glimpse of the other battlefield.
It was at that time she found Phyrill leaping toward them. "Not good. Leca!"
Unfortunately, that shout came too late as Phyrill was already half way and Theo had released his Magic Bullet.
The blue light balls released their power, leaving glowing trails in the air.
Theo ran behind the Magic Bullet, heading straight to the two beasts. However, he was unlucky since the ape was in front of Hontar and the bear. The ape took a split second to react and raised his shield to block all the Magic Bullets.
With its ten-foot body and the power and stability of that shield, the result didn't need to be questioned anymore. At the same time, the bear with a bigger body hid behind the ape until all the Magic Bullets disappeared before looping around to attack Theo from the side.
Theo didn't let the bear do what he wanted and activated his Haste to increase his spear before changing his target to Hontar.
His spear glowed as Theo recharged it with Focused Spear.
Hontar widened his eyes. With Laust's back facing Theo, Hontar could clearly see what Theo planned to do.
Theo turned out faking that movement and summoned a Magic Bullet instead.
"Laust!" Theo shouted, asking Laust to take one step to the right to clear the way for him to shoot.
However, Laust didn't even budge from his position despite sensing Theo behind him.
Hontar opened his mouth in surprise, knowing that their coordination seemed to be not that good.
Theo clicked his tongue and shot all the Magic Bullets to the bear. After that, he resummoned the clone, leaped to the air and tried to use the gravity and weight to strike the ape, who just raised his shield with all the force he could gather.
"Focused Charge." He struck the shield and created a small shock wave.
Unfortunately, the ape didn't even budge an inch as if his attack wasn't considered powerful.
Theo then used the shield as his stepping and jumped off to the ground several feet behind Laust, reuniting with his clone.
His clone tried to find another timing to use the Magic Bullet since he believed eliminating Hontar would be their top priority.
To check Theo's attention once more, Hontar slightly lowered his guard, allowing Laust to make a complete swing to break through his defense.
Clone Theo already used his Magic Bullet and was ready to shoot it as soon as Laust gave the opportunity. Unfortunately, the latter chose to charge forward to end Hontar himself, only to find the bear went into his way and tried to hit him.
Laust halted his steps and leaped back. He clicked his tongue as soon as he landed on the ground.
"Laust!" Theo called his name out loud.
Unfortunately for him, Laust only looked at him coldly and said, "I already told you. I wouldn't follow your decision."
"Ho? A discord?" Hontar muttered and charged toward Laust. "Good enough for me."
Leca tried to take another look at the situation to make sure they didn't fake it and found Theo clenching his teeth
He thought. 'I thought I could use Laust by matching his movement, oh boy, I was wrong.'
He took a deep breath and clicked his tongue. 'No. I should have realized sooner that Laust can't be changed no matter what method I use because I am the one controlling his change. Ellen said back then, to change Laust, we need to break him apart so he can reassemble himself. If he fails, he will just become useless and we are free to abandon him.'
Theo glanced at Laust's back coldly as he threw all the matters out of his mind. 'Fine then. In order to win, I won't expect anything from Laust.'
He then turned around as his and Ellen's eyes intertwined. There was no word exchanged, but Ellen understood what Theo planned to do.
'Time to break Laust.'
