Chapter 57: Unsealed Talent (1/2)
Although there was a huge gap between them, Alea instinctively felt the pressure coming from Theo as if he truly was capable of doing something like that.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words stuck on her throat as if an unknown object preventing… No, as if Theo put a collar on her neck, choking her.
This was the first time Alea experienced something like this. Normally, people would come to her while lowering their heads, knowing that they had no chance with her and followed her command.
Theo might be different from others, but she still believed Theo would become like them sooner or later. She thought she would be taking advantage of him while he remained this way.
However, everything changed when he showed this side of him. She had no doubt that Theo would change, albeit that transformation surely reached another level.
Despite knowing that she might be devoured and probably end her career, Alea couldn't help but smile. A fuzzy feeling arose in her heart, turning it into excitement.
Unfortunately, before she could say anything, her attention was taken away by something from afar.
Both Alea and Theo turned their heads at the same time, finding five four-legged monsters. They had the height of a horse, but their bodies were that of a tiger. And their heads looked like a bear.
Theo took this chance to point his Skylink at them.
Name: Vitigre Horse
Level: 53-58
A monster with a feature of a bear and tiger, but acts like a horse. Beware of its speed and sharp teeth.
”We need to handle them,” Theo shouted at Alea, who was still in a trance because of the shock Theo gave her, so they could start taking their positions.
”Ah?!” Alea shook her head to regain her focus and nodded as she ran toward them.
The orange fire appeared again on her sword as she sent it flying toward the group.
Boom.
It exploded again, killing the middle monster. Meanwhile, the other four separated in two directions. The right one looped around her while the left pair charged head-on.
Alea ignored the right one and moved forward, trying to kill that pair. However, Theo once again used her as a shield, completely hiding his body behind her.
The moment she and the two monsters were about to clash, Theo took one step further and appeared next to them, piercing their heads in succession.
