Chapter 117 – Near The End

Chapter 117 - Near The End

'If Theo shines in the future, then I will absorb that light and make me brighter than him, so everyone will recognize me!' thought Laust as he arrived behind Aisha and sent her head flying.

"Eh?" Aisha widened her eyes as she couldn't understand what just happened.

Before she had time to think or heal herself, Laust and Phyrill had the same idea.

"Three Way Sword." Laust summoned three lights that helped him cut Aisha's head. With the addition of his sword, he sliced Aisha's head into five layers.

At the same time, lightning began to cover Phyrill's sword as Phyrill laughed. "This is great, this is great. I don't mind this development."

"Lightning Flash."

In that instant, Phyrill made several cuts as Aisha's heart turned into pieces, thus ending her life.

"!!!" Everyone's attention was grabbed by this sudden death. After all, Aisha was the most important piece that would buy them time until Alea killed Sihan.

Now that she died, the entire situation would change drastically. And the one who brought that change was none other than Laust.

Feeling the hype of his accomplishment, Laust thought, 'Yes. This is it. If they want to use me to reach their own goal, I will allow them. But… It doesn't mean I won't do anything. As long as there is a chance, I will use it to make me shine brighter, no matter how slim that chance is. Eventually, I will be recognized in that grand stage and make my father regret his decision!'

He raised his hand and turned around, looking at the surroundings. "What are you all doing? The battle has yet to end."

Phyrill smirked while thinking, 'Nice.'

He raised his hand, looked at the sword, and threw it to Hontar.

"Hontar. A sword is coming!" Leca shouted and planned to use her Fire Lizard to attack.

Hontar glanced and saw a sword coming into his vision. He took a step back while lifting his head to avoid that spinning sword, but it still managed to graze his neck, leaving a swallow mark.

To prevent Theo from attacking Hontar in this condition, the bear sent another punch to crush Theo, but the latter already launched himself to the side, going around the bear. He saw the sword planted on the wall, so he quickly made his way to the sword to grab it.

Obviously, Makkal didn't allow him and released another arrow.

"Heavy Arrow."

Theo looked at him and asked coldly, "Say, don't you think your arrow is too repetitive?"

His clone appeared behind Theo as both of them used Elemental Shield in unison, creating two layers of a translucent shield.

The arrow shattered the first one to pieces, but it only cracked the second one before falling to the ground.

"What?!" Makkal clenched his bow and knew his weakness clearly. Due to him using a Heavy Bow, which was not normal, he couldn't find many skills that suited him, especially with his blessing. At the same time, his family wasn't that well off either, so he didn't have many skills that were enough to kill Theo.

Because he understood the reason very well, he was envious of others since they had the resources to gain anything they wanted.

Leca also felt offended since her brother had done everything for her and made the fire lizard release another breath. At the same time, Hontar came into his range, trying to prevent him from grabbing that sword because he knew Theo would be able to equip his clone, making him even more dangerous.

"Our mistake is we didn't kill you in the beginning. To think even Alea still underestimates you…" Hontar gritted his teeth. Laust's improvement or the control of the battlefield could only happen because Theo was still here. Hence, killing Theo would be the top priority even if he needed to sacrifice himself.

'This guy wants to stop me and die together with the fire breath?' Theo widened his eyes and understood what Hontar planned. However, he saw a shadow appearing between Hontar and the flame.

With a wand on her left hand and a small glowing ball on her right hand, Ellen's voice sent a shiver to them. "It seems you have forgotten about me, eh? Now that the annoying girl has gone, it's time for me to make my move, right?"

Theo knew Ellen had become that way again and watched what she did.

Her left hand summoned a giant ice crystal that blocked the fire breath and deflected it to the side. Meanwhile, she pointed her right hand to Hontar and released it. "Frost Nova."

It was the skill she used to kill him during their match. The ball flew so fast that it reached Hontar almost instantly and blew him to the wall before it created an ice shard with a shape like that of a cobweb, pinning him to the wall.

"Sorry, I'm late and good job."

"I'm just glad that you're coming." Theo smiled.

Since Theo was already safe, Phyrill shouted, asking for their plan. It was normal for them to go for the twins, but Phyrill wanted to check it first. "So, what are we going to do now, Theo?"

Laust didn't say anything. And although it made him sick just to follow Theo's order, he wouldn't complain anymore and stick with the plan since he had recognized Theo's talent.

The hatred had turned into some sort of rivalry. The more Theo grew and the brighter he became, he would gain more when he devoured him.

Theo instantly understood their worry and shouted back, "Phyrill, go for the summoner. Laust will kill the archer. Ellen and I will handle Hontar and the bear."

"Roger." Phyrill made a big grin as he released all his power. "Let's go, Laust."

Once again, the situation escalated to something beyond their imagination. As Laust and Phyrill were about to chase Leca and Makkal, they heard Sihan cursing someone.

All their eyes were taken away by Alea, who just sent Sihan's head flying.

Tit for tat. If they killed one of them, she should also kill one to stop their momentum.

Alea released her killing intent toward Phyrill, Laust, and Theo. "I'm coming."

Phyrill clenched his teeth and took a deep breath, saying, "You—"

Before he finished his words, Laust already took off with his giant sword. "I will go. You have two minutes. Kill the remaining three."

Alea smiled and moved forward while saying, "Do you think you can handle me alone, Laust Lange?"

"I can't." Laust surprisingly shook his head, admitting that he wasn't strong enough to kill her. However, there was a continuation. "But that doesn't mean I can't buy enough time for the others? Winning takes priority here."

"Fine by me."
