With Theo and his clone joined hands, he could fight Enrica earnestly.
"If I can't defeat you earlier than them, then I don't see the point continuing." Enrica let out a sigh while raising both hands, preparing herself to fight Theo.
"Don't worry. I've got the gist of your eyes' abilities, so I plan to defeat you first." Theo shook his head while summoning his Magic Bullets.
All eighty bullets flew straight to Enrica.
"Protection." She erected another barrier to protect herself from those bullets. She knew that it wasn't enough, so she prepared to use another shield to block the remaining bullets.
Yet, the bullets didn't even crack the barrier, shocking Enrica in the process. She dropped her jaw to the ground. Although she felt the power behind each bullet, none of them was strong enough to take down her barrier.
This could only mean one thing.
She sucked a cold breath. Her eyes opened wide as if she couldn't see the depth of Theo's plan. "Most of your attacks were just illusions?"
In that instant, Enrica finally understood why they lost against this man called Theo. It turned out they never understood every trick he applied in their battle. It wasn't that they saw and reacted to Theo's plan, it was him showing his plan to them as such.
"But can you even see which one is real?" Theo made a smug smile as if he already expected her question.
As Theo said, Enrica couldn't tell which one was real. Even her eyes could only see that all those Magic Bullets were destined to hit her. Whether it would give any damage or not, it was a different case.
"I don't know your eyes' abilities, but I can see that it's similar to the person I have worked with in the past." Theo nodded with a smile, recalling Alea's eyes.
Alea's eyes allowed her to "read" while Enrica's eyes had the ability to "predict". Both of them were similar in a sense and Theo could adjust himself a bit better despite not understanding the depth of Enrica's eyes.
Enrica was able to claim the team leader position with her eyes, yet, her opponent was just too cunning and had grown accustomed to this type of eye. If she fought another person, she could show the difference in their power, albeit she wasn't. Theo was simply the worst match-up to her.
"Then we will see whether you can do it or not." Enrica smiled as her hand glowed. She extended her hand before releasing five golden lights, looping around Theo to hit him from behind.
Theo already knew the purpose of this ability.
'Inviting me in, eh? After that, she can use her eyes to throw me like earlier…' Theo knew Enrica expected him to come in, so he recalled his clone and wielded two Elemental Shields, blocking all the attacks.
After that, his clone looped around and charged at Enrica from the side.
When Enrica was about to unleash another skill, the real Theo thrust his spear from a distance. "Cannon Blast."
"I already saw this attack coming from a mile ago." Enrica smiled as the golden patterns on her right hand glowed. Feeling the surge of strength, she punched the shock wave and scattered it around.
"And yes, I already knew you saw it coming too…" Theo smiled as Theo's image suddenly became blurry in her eyes. His appearance gradually returned to when he was charging his energy.
"!!!" Enrica widened her eyes and remembered what Theo did in the elimination round.
With her realizing the illusion, Theo started brazenly utilizing his illusion, so it looked as if his real body had unleashed an attack. At the point of impact, he used his skill to make her feel the impact like the Magic Bullets.
Unfortunately for her, Theo had yet to release his skill.
The moment she recognized it, Theo had already shot his true attack.
"Cannon Blast."
With no momentum left on her fist, Enrica needed to stop the powerful shock wave from him, albeit the power contained in that attack was more powerful than the previous one.
"Ah!" Enrica screamed in surprise as she got blown away with her right sleeve completely ripped off.
Clone Theo didn't waste this opportunity and used his Blink to appear in Enrica's blindspot. "Swift Energy."
He thrust his spear three times, only to find it was blocked by Enrica's barrier. Without any balance, she couldn't use her small shield to protect her after all.
The moment she landed on the ground, she raised her head and saw forty Magic Bullets raining upon her while using the sunlight to blind her, making it hard to see them.
Without her "Protection", Enrica needed to block all of them with her shield.
She quickly equipped the shields in her hands as she began spinning.
Right before the bullets hit her, they scattered in all directions and looped around to hit her from the sides.
Enrica used her shield to protect her vital parts while escaping from the onslaught.
Boom.
Some of the Magic Bullets hit the ground, but some actually pierced Enrica as a few wounds were seen on her body.
Theo didn't let her catch a breath as the real him had already arrived in front of her, thrusting his spear.
Enrica gritted her teeth and spun her body a bit more so her shield could perfectly be aligned with the spear, stopping it.
Due to the sudden spin, Enrica lost her balance and gave a perfect opportunity for Theo.
The latter kicked her on the stomach and launched her to his clone.
Clone Theo thrust his spear. "Cannon Blast."
"Protection!" After getting bullied for a while, Enrica managed to erect another barrier to protect her.
However, the force behind Cannon Blast launched her back to Theo.
"Swift Energy." Theo used the penetrating strike three times and cracked the barrier before thrusting it again to break it.
Of course, the hole wasn't that big because he didn't shatter everything. It was a mere head-sized hole.
Still, it was enough for Theo's hand to slip through the hole and grab Enrica's neck. "Blink."
Both of them teleported right in front of Clone Theo, who already thrust his spear before Theo even used his Blink.
Diego already saw everything and appeared between them, grabbing the spear and catching Enrica. "That's enough."
