"Then so be it!"
Nella quickly sent all her skeleton soldiers and the Empusa to fight Theo and the others first.
Theo, expecting the horde, sent out all his Magic Bullets. However, his real target was not the skeletons or the Empusa. Instead, it was Nella.
All eighty Magic Bullets looped around the arena before heading straight to Nella from all directions. This gave Sihan the time to close his distance and waved his sword, following the Magic Bullets.
Nella clapped her hand as the Magic Power gathered in her hands clashed with each other, creating a small shock wave of Magic Power that created a half sphere with Nella in the center.
All of the Magic Bullets hit the boundary of the Magic Power and exploded at the same time. But Nella truly understood him well.
Due to his lack of understanding about the Magic Power, Nella's attack earlier destroyed the real Magic Bullets and made the other clone bullets disappear.
"…" Seeing such a reaction, Nella and Theo's expression turned grim before Sihan waved his sword from below. "Dawn Strike."
A green-haired man suddenly flashed before Sihan, striking his rapier against Sihan's sword right before Sihan released that attack. The attack was not hard, but Sihan somehow was unable to push him back even with his skill.
Noticing his struggle, Ellen raised her staff and summoned four star-shaped blue lights, sending all of them at the same time. "Freezing Shot."
"Einhaj!"
Suddenly, a black circle appeared between them as four tentacles emerged, stopping the lights with their own bodies.
The Ice Crystals appeared as soon as they were hit and destroyed the hole altogether but Nella and the others were fine while Sihan was still in trouble.
Ellen hurriedly raised her hand as a huge meteor appeared out of thin air. She waved her hand down, launching the Ice Meteor against them. "Sihan."
Noticing what she planned to do, Sihan leaped to the side to avoid the meteor.
The meteor hit the ground right before the skeletons, mowing them down.
Nella's Empusa noticed it as well and struck the boulder with her two blades, but it was futile. The ice was too big and the weight was no joke. It pushed the Empusa back until Nella appeared above her.
"Magic Saint Fist Style. Induction Fist."
Nella struck the ice boulder right in the middle and stopped the boulder in an instant. However, cracks soon appeared all over the boulder before the ice was shattered into pieces, revealing Nella's appearance behind the boulder.
She looked down on them with a cold expression while saying, "Your Magic Bullet… I calculated it earlier. It seems the ratio was three to one. In other words, three of your four Magic Bullets were just nothing but fake."
Theo smiled and summoned them again, releasing it to Nella. "Then, can you find the real one?"
"…" Nella fell silent before she leaped to Theo. "There is no need to find them. I just need to break through them."
The Magic Bullets came from all directions, but with Nella leaping at fast speed, he could overrun most of them. As for those who stood in her way, she simply sent a punch to them, obliterating them effortlessly.
Sihan wanted to stop her, but Luka quickly stopped him again, not letting Sihan do anything to Nella.
Because of her blunder in the last match, Zara also didn't hold back anymore. She hurriedly came to Ellen with her sword because Ellen shouldn't stand a chance against her in close quarter combat.
Not wanting to lose, Theo used his blink to appear behind Nella with his fist ready, albeit Nella seemed to have thought ahead by making the Empusa run right behind her.
When he appeared, the Empusa leaped to Theo to strike him from behind.
Just like Nella, Theo understood what she planned to do and had his clone cover his back from Empusa's attack.
When the Empusa waved its blade-shaped hand, Clone Theo used his spear's handle to receive it.
Theo, on the contrary, sent a fist to Nella's back, only to find her body emitting a powerful wave of Magic Power that blew him to the back.
"Huh?" Theo narrowed his eyes and got thrown to the air while commenting out loud. "Did you just fart? Wow, your fart was so powerful."
"Cousin, your words are terrible."
"Better than your action." Theo shrugged before bending his knees and spinning his body. He tried to position himself in the air as when he reached Clone Theo behind him, he stepped on his back to return to Nella with stronger momentum. "Flowmotion."
This was the first time he used Flowmotion, the skill that allowed him to use any surface as his stepping.
His spear began to glow as Theo thrust it with all his might. "Cannon Blast."
"Magic Saint Fist Style. Burst."
Theo's spear stopped right in front of Nella's hand before the latter generated a powerful shock wave that passed through his body, shaking the air nearby.
Theo felt his hand as if it was pushed by Nella's real hand, trying to break his bone. And when the Cannon Blast's energy disappeared from his spear, that powerful energy struck his body with full force, launching him to the sky like how it made Cheng Sui crash to the wall.
Theo and his clone collided in midair.
Taking advantage of Theo losing his balance, Empusa also launched herself together with the two Theos, so her master could defeat him in one go.
However, Clone Theo used his Blink and teleported them away from this place, returning to Ellen's position and dropping to the ground.
"There you are…" Nella smirked and leaped to Theo without hesitation.
Both Theo struggled to get up, but luckily, Ellen summoned three Ice Lotuses above Nella's head.
"Bloom, Ice Lotuses."
The ice crystals, which appeared right after the three lotuses hit the ground, stopped Nella for a second before the latter destroyed it with her fist.
Still, it gave Theo enough time to stand back up, albeit Nella already appeared right before him. She, without hesitation, grabbed the spear in Theo's hand while smiling. "I got you. I can feel Magic Power in this spear. It's not the one you use to coat your weapon… Ah, is this the pole?"
"!!!"
