1293: Escape

Escape

*Bam!*0

The Conqueror managed to raise his arms to block this kick at the last minute, but he certainly felt the extraordinary impact of that kick.

'What is this…' The Conqueror gritted his teeth as he felt his bone break despite mastering Endurance.

The Conqueror's body flew toward the Slaughter and ended up crashing onto him.

"Gah!"

Both of them flew a few feet away.

"Argh." The Conqueror rose from the ground but was unable to raise his arms. Both bones in his arms had been crushed from that strength alone.

It was true that Theo didn't use Energy Blast or Enhanced Concentration Capacity to amplify his attack, but a strength close to 4000 points was everything but ordinary.

If it was a normal person, that blow would have continued to their heart and killed a normal Mythical Rank Expert. Even so, the Conqueror's extraordinary Endurance as well as his reaction speed somehow managed to catch that kick with only broken bones.

On the other hand, the Slaughter also felt like he was hit by a truck since the Conqueror's body was truly that hard.

Still, Theo wasn't in good condition either. Although the ability only lasted for two seconds, Theo still felt exhausted.

'I can only use that power for five seconds, and I've wasted two seconds. And now… my feet are hurt because the Strength developed my muscles to the very limit for two seconds. It was like what I experienced when fighting Avarice. Still, I can endure the pain. It's not a problem. The muscle is not torn either.'

Theo assessed his condition before looking at the Conqueror and Slaughter.

It seemed that the Conqueror's Endurance would be able to fix those broken bones in a few minutes. Meanwhile, the Slaughter still had some ability to fight.

'Well, I don't think I can use my Reality Order anymore since the Slaughter seems to be able to pick up a different Order…' Theo clenched his fists. Now that the Conqueror was out of the picture, he should be able to use this chance to run away.

"I think my body needs five minutes to recover the broken bones. I can't fight during that time to maximize the healing output," said the Conqueror to the Slaughter.

"Is that so? In that case…" The Slaughter, who was behind him, suddenly pierced the Conqueror's heart from the back.

"What?!" The Conqueror spat a mouthful of blood as he looked down, finding the Slaughter's bloodied hand. "You…"

The Conqueror turned his head around, but before he could say anything, the Slaughter pulled his hand and crushed his heart on the way, killing him.

"You're useless now." The Slaughter grinned while looking at Theo. "I don't know who you are, but you should surrender. Only that way can you keep your life."

"Killing your collaborators? Do you think I'll join someone like that?" Theo frowned.

"He's already useless. Even the people he brought couldn't do anything." The Slaughter snorted while glancing at the remaining two people that Felix killed.

It turned out those four people were the Conqueror's force. With Felix killing those four experts, they now had the opportunity to break through this situation. And Theo planned to do it.

However, he soon picked up multiple presences around the area that were coming toward them at a fast speed.

"We're moving!" Theo hurriedly shouted, informing his group.

Unfortunately for them, before they could leave this place, ten Mythical Rank Experts had arrived, surrounding them.

"This is my turf. You won't be able to escape from this place alive." The Slaughter smirked, looking down on him. He was even thankful to other experts who had exhausted Theo's force.

Felix immediately returned to the group while asking, "What should we do now? My friends still held back those three, but there are ten people like these…"

Theo looked around. Even Felix would have a hard time fighting five of them since he was the strongest during the day when the sun was at its peak. And 042 could only hold back two experts. That left four more Experts for Ryo to take care of since Theo needed to focus on the Slaughter.

Unfortunately, the Japan team had left to take care of three Mythical Rank Experts. There was no way they would return here and help them.

In other words, Theo's group needed to handle all these people by themselves.

"This is really surprising. To think that you've prepared your people in this place…" Theo narrowed his eyes.

"I already told you, this is my turf." The Slaughter smirked. "Surrender, and I'll let you keep your life. Of course, you're going to be my blood slave after that."

"No need to emphasize your turf. It seems that not all the Mythical Rank Experts here are yours. So, there is another collaborator…" Theo looked around and noticed that a few of them were foreigners. It was clear that the entire plan was orchestrated by this hidden mastermind.

'Who is the mastermind?' Theo thought while examining the people with his Reality Eyes. Unfortunately, he could only see the present, not the future. Or else, he would have discovered the culprit already. In the present, no one seemed to be foolish enough to say something.

"I will give you ten seconds. If I don't get your answer by then, I'll exterminate your group. 10…"

The Slaughter started counting as Theo let out a long sigh and turned his head to the others.

"Sorry, guys."

When the Slaughter heard that statement, he was excited because he could control Theo.

However, Theo raised his foot before they could answer.

The Slaughter remembered the kick that crushed the Conqueror, so he shouted, "Not good. Attack him!"

They hurriedly charged toward the group, but Theo smirked as he waved his hands. Now that these people were close enough, he controlled their shadows and turned them into blades that aimed for their lives.

"!!!" All Mythical Rank Experts widened their eyes and hurriedly jumped to the side to avoid this attack.

Theo utilized this chance to form a half-sphere to cover his group.

"Ha!" The Slaughter sent his own blood to disperse the black sphere.

However, it was too late. Theo and his group were gone.

"!!!" The Slaughter remembered Theo's teleportation ability.

"Shadow… a place where there are many shadows…" The Slaughter hurriedly turned around and saw Theo and his group appearing next to the forest.

"Do you think I can only use big shadows?" Theo stuck his tongue out before adding inwardly, 'You goddamn right.'

But the Slaughter misunderstood him and thought, 'He… He teleported to the grass' shadow and carried his whole team?'
