Chapter 363 - Two
"…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows when he saw what happened. He had been preparing his mind to fight the squid after understanding the situation, but what Scott did earlier just made him understand one thing.
"Desperate people are indeed scary. They sometimes can exert 120 percent of their power or do unthinkable things like this. It may not be that hard for me to handle it when I\'m alone, but it\'s going to be troublesome if they\'re aiming for those who stay by my side.
"This is why I don\'t want to have someone by my side, whether it\'s a friend or a girlfriend." Theo let out a long sigh. "Well, thanks to him, I think I have steeled my resolve a bit more… I am not an optimistic person, so as much as I am longing to have such a thing, it\'s not possible.
"I will let them use me because I know I will also use them. That\'s all." Theo closed his eyes and let out a long sigh in disappointment. "Anyway…"
Theo turned around, looking at Ava.
"Kyu?!" Ava tilted her head innocently, wondering what Theo wanted to do.
"We will be delayed for another day. Let\'s wait until everything calms down and kill a squid. After that, we can kill the second squid." Theo then began explaining the situation to Ava, especially regarding the second squid.
Ava was amused because she thought it would be tough for them to handle two level 280 monsters together. Theo thought it was possible, but there were several steps they needed to do.
"This is my plan. We\'ll kill the first monster without injuring it. No, it\'s not injuring it, but more to lure it outside the water. If it\'s not possible, we will check its weak spots using my illusion before striking those points. I want to deal with as much damage as possible before the second squid appears.
"Of course, it\'s even better if we can kill the first one without having the second one appear, but I think that\'s close to impossible. What do you think, Ava? Can you handle the second squid… At least, buy me some time, so I can kill the first one. My clone will support both you and me."
Ava looked down, thinking carefully. She clearly understood what Theo\'s clone could do, so she simulated the battle in her head for a while.
After understanding the graveness of the matter, Ava nodded with a solemn expression. "Kyu."
"Is that so?" Theo smiled. "I am counting on you then."
Ava nodded.
"In that case, let\'s spoil ourselves for the rest of the day." Theo smiled.
"Kyu!"
…
After a few hours, the squids returned to the water. Luckily, they left the spear behind, so Theo sent his clone to retrieve it.
Although the squid tentacle came out, the entire body didn\'t due to Theo leaving the scene as soon as possible.
In any case, Theo decided to fight his clone to prepare himself for the next day.
Ava only watched his spar before hunting monsters nearby, trying to get some supply. She also refilled the water bottles to drink.
Theo had been doing many things for her, so she thought about giving some back to him by doing this. In fact, she somehow felt even happier when she could do something for Theo, especially in the Purple Haze Grass case.
It was the first time she felt that it was her time to shine. Theo didn\'t smile that often, so it gave her a quite powerful impact when Theo genuinely praised her.
…
The next day.
Theo stepped on the sand next to the lake once again. This time, he was accompanied by his clone from the start.
They both held a spear in their right hands, looking at the lake with a smile full of confidence.
On Theo\'s shoulder, Ava was standing proudly, waiting for the enemy to come.
Little did they know, Theo miscalculated one thing.
Scott might know a portion of the information, but he never understood the entire fact.
The squid that became active due to the blood wouldn\'t become inactive in an instant, especially after getting the blood from his entire body that was flattened by the tentacle.
The blood would keep the squid awake for an entire week.
That was why when Theo summoned his Magic Bullet to call it out, a total of eight tentacles emerged from the water, showing Theo that he would be fighting two squids.
"Seriously?" Theo\'s expression became grim as he raised his spear, seeing how the squids came out and looked down on him.
Theo observed their situation and muttered inwardly, \'Both squids come out at the same time? Should I retreat? No, the fact that the second squid comes out right means it won\'t go back inactive for a while. I have wasted two days preparing… I can\'t waste more time than this, especially since I don\'t know how long the second squid will be awake.
\'In that case, I need to handle both monsters at once. This one is different from the Megalo Fish and Zombie Lich, but I haven\'t used all my power in that fight, so…\' A smile appeared on Theo\'s face as he released his killing intent while saying, "We shall kill these two squids right now.
"Our plan won\'t change. You take care of the left one while I handle the right one. They may help each other, but at that time, my clone will be ready to use my Blink skill to help you.
"Of course, I am planning to kill both squids, so don\'t accidentally kill the second one, okay?" Theo instructed Ava while looking at the squids, who raised two tentacles each, ready to slam them.
"Kyu!" Ava nodded, telling him she understood.
While hearing her reply, Theo looked at the lights inside their bodies again before calculating all of them.
The Magic Bullets then multiplied as a total of 160 Magic Bullets were ready to be shot.
Right after the squid slammed the tentacles, Theo released them to multiple spots where the distance between one light and another was huge.
"Magic Bullet."
"Let\'s see how they will react, shall we?" Theo smirked excitedly.
