2048: Theo vs Magic Saint (5)

Theo vs Magic Saint (5)

'This is going to be interesting.' A small smile appeared on Theo's face, startling the Magic Saint.2

"!!!" Mason didn't know why, but he felt chills down his spine from that smile alone. He thought it was impossible for Theo to do something with his unstable foundation in a battle. So, he kept marching forward.

Meanwhile, Theo raised his hand and formed a sword with his Irregular Guardian.

Mason frowned since there was nothing different from Theo's sword. It felt like the change came from a different ability.

So, Mason moved forward and concentrated the Magic Power in his fists. This time, he used four-layered Magic Power. If he managed to land a hit on Theo, the Magic Power that had been compressed in his fists would burst and deal severe damage to Theo's body.

In the meantime, Theo hadn't done anything special to his sword. And he even dared to move forward with only this simple sword.

Mason's body shook for a moment. 'Wait a minute. He didn't do anything… Is he trying to launch a surprise attack with that sword? Is he doing any trick? Maybe there is something I haven't seen?'

Mason didn't realize that he had fallen into Theo's trap the moment he thought about this. In fact, this was what Theo's former teacher had taught him.

He told him to have more faces than anyone could see so that when people saw him doing nothing, they would think he had laid down the trap.

Without anyone realizing it, Theo had gradually come closer to Loki's level. If people fought Loki, who was known for his tricks and illusions, they would think he had done something even though Loki just sat down and did nothing. Even if he told them that he hadn't done anything, the others wouldn't believe him.

And currently, Mason was facing that dilemma where Theo hadn't done anything special, but he thought there were already traps waiting for him.

Mason gritted his teeth. No matter how hard he thought, no matter how long he stared, there was simply nothing different from Theo.

In the end, he could only let out a roar to boost his morale as if he was saying, 'screw it,' and continued to Theo.

"Die!" The Magic Saint punched Theo with his right fist.

Seeing this dangerous fist, Theo simply waved his sword as if he didn't plan to do anything.

Before the Magic Saint's fist could reach the sword, the Magic Power suddenly disappeared from his right fist.

"!!!" The Magic Saint immediately spun his body. He had seen this attack pattern before.

He had long known that Theo could remove one's ability. So, he had prepared for this and managed to react when Theo used it.

Theo might use that ability to create an opportunity for his blade to reach his bare fist, but the Magic Saint had seen it through and dodged it.

Then, he punched Theo with his left hand.

Unfortunately for him, the reality started to expand once again. This time, it expanded only around Theo and pushed him to the side.

Instead of avoiding the Magic Saint, he pushed himself so that Mason's left hand would end up hitting Theo's sword.

"Huh?" Mason was confused while hitting the sword. However, it didn't matter. He smirked while saying, "You fools, there is a trick in this fist."

In that instant, Theo's sharp sword ended up cutting the outer layer of the compressed Magic Power, resulting in the Magic Power expanding and causing a powerful explosion.

Even though he couldn't hit Theo's body, with this range, it should be enough to somehow inflict some injuries on him. The Magic Saint had covered his body with Magic Power to protect himself.

But to everyone's surprise, the explosion didn't occur once. It was twice.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

"!!!" The Magic Saint could see everything happening easily. 'His sword…'

Yes, it turned out Theo's sword was hollow. Inside the sword was the Magic Power, which had been compressed.

With such a brittle sword, there was no way it would be able to withstand the power of a Saint. So, it broke the moment the Magic Saint hit it.

These two explosions neutralized each other.

"How could I not see the flow of Magic Power…" The Magic Saint muttered inwardly. He certainly saw the sword look normal. If Theo hid such Magic Power inside the sword, he should be able to see through it.

However, that was when the illusion came. The illusion had turned the blade into the normal blade he usually used.

Theo didn't know what the Magic Saint saw, but he certainly knew how it looked in his eyes. He just had to copy it and apply the Reality Authority in order to make it look real. And the Magic Saint wouldn't be able to find anything.

Of course, there was no way Theo would stop this attack here.

"!!!" The Magic Saint widened his eyes and raised his head, finding the Death Avatar above him. Theo summoned the avatar at the same time they clashed, allowing him to fully manifest right after the explosions neutralized each other.

And Theo even used his Telekinesis to prevent both of them from getting blown away by the shock wave the clash produced. Theo even used his Supernatural Snake Body to protect his body.

This way, the Death Avatar could attack with all his strength.

The Death Avatar looked like it was smiling. The Magic Saint hurriedly raised both hands to stop the Death Avatar, but the latter swiftly waved his hands, extending his fingers like that of a blade.

He poured as much energy as he could to stop this attack. But the Death Avatar used the two seconds he had to send a total of ten strikes, hitting all over his body.

"Kh." The Magic Saint gritted his teeth. Most of the attacks could be blocked by a concentrated Magic Power, but because of the little time he had, the Death Avatar managed to pierce through the Magic Power and hit the Magic Saint two times, one at the right waist and one at his right arm.

And last but not least, Theo attacked him with his smirk… the smirk filled with salt in it, which was pretty effective for the Magic Saint.
