"I will be doing this by myself." Nella leaped to Clone Theo, leaving the real person behind.
She even coordinated with her Empusa as the latter struck Clone Theo to prevent him from moving.
With Nella coming closer, Clone Theo quickly summoned his Magic Bullets to stop Nella on her track.
Nella looked around her and realized there was something different in those Magic Bullets. Hence, she kept marching forward without losing any speed, destroying any Magic Bullets that were on her way.
Some Magic Bullets were overrun by her, but Theo was not that easy to defeat.
The Magic Bullets suddenly chased her from behind as Nella instantly understood what the Magic Bullets were capable of. She couldn't help but think, 'Homing Ability? As expected of Cousin, to think you are still hiding something like this.'
Nella poured a bit more of Magic Power to her feet and released it like Laust's skill.
Her speed increased drastically as she reached Theo faster than his Magic Bullets.
She grabbed Clone Theo's head and slammed him down to the ground.
Bam.
The clone disappeared due to that much damage, but Theo's real body had arrived together with the Magic Bullets, trying to regain the silver pole before Nella got it.
"Tch." Nella clicked her tongue and clapped her hand, trying to form the same boundary that stopped Theo's Magic Bullet. Sadly, it also gave Theo enough time to pick the silver pole up while summoning his clone, handing it over again.
"Swift Energy." Theo thrust his spear at her neck.
"Magic Saint Fist Style. Twister." She sent a punch, but Clone Theo prevented her by releasing two Elemental Shields in front of the real Theo, taking her punch directly.
Bang.
The energy pierced shattered the first Elemental Shield, but Theo had enough time to leap to the left, avoiding her attack while attacking her from her right side, which should be impossible to protect because she used her right hand to punch the shield.
Nella took a deep breath as she already knew it was impossible to defeat Theo without using all her strength. Hence, she waved her left hand to the side.
"!!!" The next instant, Theo realized he was blown away and rolled on the ground a few times before coughing. He raised his vision and looked at Nella. "What's that…"
He instinctively placed his hand on his waist as he felt a powerful impact hit that area. Although it didn't injure him, the force was enough to make him suffer some pain.
Nella didn't say anything and leaped toward him. "Since if I defeat you, the clone will disappear too, I should focus on you instead of your clone."
"Magic Bullets." Theo summoned ten Magic Bullets and shot everything, but Nella showed another secret of her power.
She simply waved her hand to the side before all the Magic Bullets exploded without even touching her.
Theo widened his eyes and rose from the ground, preparing for her attack.
"Since that is the case, I will also defeat—" Before he finished, Theo stopped as Nella was about to arrive before him.
Nella suddenly turned around and saw Clone Theo's appearing behind her with his spear. "Swift Energy."
Nella used the same power and waved her hand from left to right and left again, blowing the spear in that direction before even reaching her.
At the same time, she called the Empusa to help her handle the clone, but she soon realized someone was missing despite her preparing to take on Theo's attack from behind.
"I guess you want to do it that way." Nella smiled because he knew what Theo was doing.
Theo used his Blink to appear next to the Empusa's head and pierced her head with all his might. "Cannon Blast."
The energy from Cannon Blast obliterated the Empusa's head without her being able to do anything.
This action didn't escape Nella's defense as she already expected to fight him in a 1 vs 2 situation. And this should be the time for her to show a bit more of her prowess.
She raised both hands and poured her Magic Power into the air like usual. "Heaven Fall."
Theo gasped when he felt the pressure coming from the air above him. Although he barely saw it, he was sure there was a layer of an unbreakable screen that seemed to be falling down.
"Since I'm just a little girl, I'm sure Cousin can withstand this first before me. I'm short after all…" Nella smiled.
Theo gritted his teeth and raised both hands, releasing all his strength to hold this screen.
'Kh. I used my spear to defeat the Empusa, so I didn't have enough time to plant it on the ground to support whatever this is…' Theo complained directly while feeling the pressure from above.
Just like its name, it was like Heaven falling down on top of him. He needed to lift it up while coming up with a plan to escape.
Nella quickly charged at him to defeat him first before stealing the flag. Unexpectedly, Clone Theo quickly grabbed the real body first and utilized the Blink skill, teleporting both of them away from this place.
Unfortunately for him, when things were going smoothly, he heard shouts coming from behind.
"Theo!"
It turned out both Ellen and Sihan called his name at the same time. Clone Theo faced the back of the original, so he could see what their concern was.
It turned out, Zara and Luka had stopped his teammates and marched toward him, trying to defeat Theo together in one single move. And the reason they would dare to do this was due to Theo using his Teleport together with his clone, preventing him from using another one for a while.
Hence, this was the signal for their tactic.
However… This strategy was none other than his own strategy.
"Your tactic is so perfect, Cousin. Let me use it too." Nella only smiled at him.
This time, Theo finally experienced how Ignazio felt when he was defeated by his own technique. It was a weird feeling, but he felt no anger in his heart. He simply made a grin while saying, "Heh, you are good."
