Maya was impressed by Theo's talent. She never thought Theo had this kind of power, considering she never fought against Theo in the competition.
Nella surely wouldn't disclose this type of information to the public since they hailed from the same family. On the other hand, Theo always participated in three vs three matches in the competition other than that one. His opponents were too busy observing him and his teammates.
She wondered whether Theo had planned for this as well. If he indeed had planned this far, she felt scared of getting Theo.
This talent might be a bit too extraordinary even for her.
Maya took a deep breath and stared at Theo.
"Winning this battle is a must," Maya muttered while aiming her gun again..
Bang.
Bang.
Bang.
She fired several times and controlled the bullets to make a few turns, trying to confuse him.
Theo surprisingly turned around and ran from the bullets as if he knew the bullet didn't have tracking skills.
Little did he know, this just convinced Maya he had this kind of talent.
Theo kept running into the woods while summoning his clone together with Magic Bullets behind the tree.
After that, he slashed another tree and used his Telekinesis to launch it to Maya.
Maya's bullets had already exploded, so there was nothing between her and the tree.
Maya didn't panic and shot the tree right in the middle. The explosion from the bullet snapped the tree trunk and a small sphere emerged from the smoke, landing on the ground not far from Theo.
Theo widened his eyes and used his Telekinesis to throw the sphere back, but the sphere exploded right after.
Boom.
The explosion destroyed a few trees in the area. Luckily, Theo already took a cover behind another tree and pushed the grenade away earlier or he would have lost.
Maya couldn't approach Theo in this situation because she noticed the incoming presence from above. When she raised her head, she found forty Magic Bullets pouring on her.
"Tsk." She created a shield and blocked the Magic Bullets after finding Theo wouldn't do another trick with these bullets.
Some Magic Bullets hit the shield while some hit the ground, kicking up the dust.
However, there was one thing that shocked her the most.
An eagle suddenly emerged from the dust and aimed at her face, planning to rip her apart.
Maya obviously used her rifle to block it, but the eagle's real target was none other than the rifle. Its talons grasped the rifle and snatched it away from her.
"What?!" Maya drew a gasp and complained, "Niki. There is an eagle! The area is not safe?"
Nikita maintained her silence because she had witnessed everything. Maya soon realized what was going on and saw the eagle flying away with her rifle.
When the eagle had gained enough distance, the eagle turned into Theo as he used his Telekinesis to stay floating in the air.
This was his clone that was hiding behind the tree. The past two weeks were indeed very beneficial for him, because he could use his Metamorphosis even more fluently, especially the eagle since it might be his escape path in the future.
The moment Theo possessed the rifle, he tried to aim it at Maya, trying to replicate Maya's grips.
"How do I use this again?" He aimed at Maya and fired a few rounds.
Bang.
Bang.
Unfortunately, the bullets hit the ground near Maya and exploded without harming her. Maya only gritted her teeth because she knew Theo had no experience with guns.
She also noticed the other Theo, who came closer to her from behind.
The shield changed into a knife while the other held a handgun. Maya turned around and shot Theo a couple of times.
The real Theo avoided it effortlessly and took a deep breath.
"Magic Augmentation." Theo used his new skill for the first time as the Magic Power inside his body began to revolve like crazy. It felt like he needed to release his skill to calm his Magic down.
Seeing Theo's movement, Maya struck his spear before it went down, but her body suddenly felt a tremendous pressure that restricted her to the ground.
This pressure slowed down her movement, allowing Theo to hit her knife with his Cannon Blast that had been boosted by Magic Augmentation.
Obviously, Theo overpowered her until her knife hit the ground. However, Maya seemed to plan to abandon her knife this whole time.
The moment she got overpowered by him, she let go of her knife and used that chance to slip past through him, hiding between the trees.
Clone Theo tried to shoot her again with his inaccurate aim.
Boom.
Boom.
Boom.
Some bullets hit the tree, some hit the ground, some hindered her movement, while some didn't even affect her.
Theo knew it wasn't the best to rely on a weapon he wasn't good at, but all the rounds he fired earlier were nothing but a diversion.
The real attack came from the Magic Bullets that had flown on top of her and dove down using the Tracking ability.
Because of the dense leaves, she couldn't find the Magic Bullet's location, so she ended up using her Lightning Barrier again to prevent any injuries.
Twenty Magic Bullets passed the leaves and hit her barrier in succession.
At the same time, Theo came closer to Maya, trying to hit her barrier. With his current power, he should be able to shatter the barrier.
However, Maya didn't have a change of expression as if she expected Theo to approach her.
And it turned out she had planted like how Theo used the tree as her cover. She placed her bomb behind the tree and exploded it.
"I can use the trees too." Maya smiled and pointed her hand to him. "This is my present. I hope you like it."
Boom.
The bomb exploded and engulfed Theo. Unfortunately, Nikita had yet to make her move because the one who chased after her was none other than Theo's Illusion.
"And yes, I know you can use the trees. That's why I sent my illusion instead," said Theo with a poker face.
However, Maya's real aim turned out to be something different. When the smoke disappeared, she was already on one knee, holding a three-foot-long sniper rifle and aiming at Theo's clone.
Bam.
"!!!" Theo widened his eyes because his clone was shot down. 'Did she use the bomb to clear the obstacle between her and my clone to snipe him down?'
