A few minutes ago, Phyrill and the others had a strategy with Theo.
Theo had understood the game a little bit and said, "I have a few things I want to confirm. There is no rule, right?"
"Yes. But we need to leave our weapons here." Alea replied.
"Then, how good are you at controlling your Magic Power? Can you cover your sword with it?"
"Not really. I can do it, but it's not that good." Phyrill shook his head.
"That's enough." Theo nodded and turned to Laust. "How about you?"
"Below him."
"I guess only Phyrill and Alea will wield a weapon." Theo sighed, feeling it was not enough.
"What do you mean? We can't bring weapons to the arena." Alea narrowed her eyes and asked, "Theo, what are you planning?"
"I have checked it with them. The walls are made of stone." Theo smiled and looked at Alea. "If we can't bring a weapon, we just need to make one."
"A stone weapon…" Phyrill gulped down.
"Exactly. We will take advantage of the wall and use it to make a weapon."
"But the commentary will cover it and unintentionally tell them."
"That's why I want you to gather their attention." Theo smirked.
"How? It's hard to find them, you know. We need to spread our Awareness to locate them before fighting."
"Remember, there is no rule." Theo smiled and pointed to the ceiling. "We just need to go up."
Phyrill laughed as he understood Theo's plan. "I see. You want me to fight above the wall. My balance is indeed good enough to do that and they will surely be taken aback. It seems to be the time I unleash all my might."
"Alea will destroy the stone wall and use a piece of stone to create the weapons. I'm sure you can still use skills that way, right?"
"Yes. I can also use a few skills to cut the stone with a small piece of sharp rubbles." Alea nodded. "In that case, I will do according to your plan."
"That's good. One more thing, the disadvantage of this arena is the line of vision. Alea will create a huge clear area. The moment they are escaping to the labyrinth once again, something will happen, so keep your guard up." Theo finished explaining his plan.
"Understood." Alea, Phyrill, and Laust agreed.
…
Remembering the plan explanation, Alea smiled and looked at Agata.
"He is indeed an excellent individual. I truly want to possess him." Agata felt excited instead of surprised. Just like Theo, their God of War had expected something from Theo and informed them to keep their calm as he gave a dull but reliable strategy to the entire team. Hence, Agata simply said, "How about you give him to me?"
"Huh?" Alea furrowed her eyebrows. "If you want him, why don't you just seduce him?"
"I may bear the blessing from the goddess, but I am just a simple human. Other than my beauty, I don't possess her traits. Since I can see love is in the air, I don't like to steal someone's boyfriend, you see." Agata shook her head with an enchanting smile.
There was no microphone around, so no one could hear their conversations. The audience only knew they were talking to each other.
"Huh?"Alea was bewildered and looked back before pointing at herself. "Me? His girlfriend? I think you're mistaken."
"Is that so? I guess you are one of that type… The one who can't always be honest to yourself. No, should I say someone who keeps convincing themselves that they're not?" Agata looked at her with a mysterious gaze as if she saw something different from Alea.
On the other hand, Alea's sharp eyes became her curse as she realized Agata didn't lie at all.
Alea became even more bewildered as Theo's image flashed in her mind.
Theo had been a huge part of her life as he managed to overcome almost everything with his wits and abilities. He even brought them to this stage. However, Alea questioned herself, 'Huh? Why am I thinking of him right now?'
Her heart was shaken for the first time as she couldn't understand herself at the moment. But her eyes came to her rescue when she saw Agata's right hand was on her back.
"You! Show me your hand!" Alea's body shook as she quickly leaped toward her, swinging her sword.
"Tch." Agata clicked her tongue and saw a small pink heart on top of her finger. "Busted, huh."
Alea then recalled Aphrodite's traits. She was jealous and unfaithful. She often cheated on her husband but also became a matchmaker.
In that instant, she realized Agata must have used her skill to make her think of Theo in this fight, messing up her mind.
Seeing Alea come over, Agata's hands joined together and formed a heart symbol before a huge pink heart appeared between them and Alea.
"Inch Slash." Alea had no plan to waste her time on her, so she waved her sword and cut the heart into two.
The heart burst out pink-colored smoke that swallowed both her and Agata.
"Poison? Smokescreen?" Alea furrowed her eyebrows and covered her mouth and nose with her hand.
However, the sweet fragrance already filled her nose and lungs.
'What's this sweet scent? It's making me hot…' Alea felt a bit itchy down there as her body warmed up. "Aphrodisiac?"
"Nope. It's a gasified "Lust". My special skill." Agata's voice echoed.
Alea looked around and saw Theo running toward her. With her current state, her view of Theo drastically changed, especially when the latter leaped to hug her.
Alea gritted her teeth and sliced this Theo into two, knowing it was just a fake.
The Fake Theo quickly disappeared into thin air, but Alea faced another problem. Another Theo appeared behind her and grabbed her from behind.
"Clone."
Another Theo appeared in front of her and put the hand that covered her mouth down while his other hand lifted her chin as if he wanted to kiss her.
Theo looked so charming in her current eyes as she felt weak both on her body and heart. Her body was warmed up as her eyes gradually lost their lights.
"What is happening to me? Theo is just my junior, but why is it my body not capable of resisting this? This must be her power…" While thinking about it, Theo's lips gradually came closer as Alea closed her eyes.
