Chapter 98: Rematch (1/2)

Theo frowned and took a deep breath. He didn't bring his spear today since he thought he would only learn Magic, but since the other party wanted to have a spar, the fight should be hand-to-hand combat with Magic.

Ellen also didn't have her staff, so he might have a chance.

”I want you to kill me without holding back,” said Ellen while looking at Theo coldly. ”I really want to see your strength. I hope you can make me see the potential Phyrill mentioned yesterday.”

Before Theo could reply, Ellen already raised both hands with her left hand in the front, ready to intercept any attack that came to her.

Theo took one step back and prepared himself for the battle.

Without any warning, Ellen raised her hand while summoning three Ice Lotuses above Theo's head.

”You don't expect to let your opponent wait for you, right?” Ellen smirked before releasing her killing intent to jolt Theo's mind. ”Bloom, Ice Lotus.”

Theo already knew Ellen would do something like this.

As the ice lotuses fell from the air, Theo had taken another few steps back, avoiding all three lotuses that became his shield against Ellen.

Summoning his clone, Theo jumped to the left side while his clone went to the right side.

”Which one…” Ellen muttered while squinting her eyes.

Due to her ice lotuses, she didn't know which one was the real him. Luckily, Theo needed at least three seconds to reach her with his full speed since they used yesterday's data, giving both of them Level 50 status.

Ellen summoned five head-size crystals above her head and shot them toward the real Theo.

”Freezing Shot.”

The ice magic shot like a laser. Facing this attack, Theo ran as quickly as possible and leaped forward, trying his best to avoid this attack without any skill.

Unfortunately, one of the Freezing Shots hit his thigh. He used both hands to land on the grass while his clone stopped and summoned the Magic Bullets.

”!!!” Ellen narrowed her eyes and turned around, smiling. ”So, you're the real one.”

”Magic Bullet.” Clone Theo released all ten Magic Bullets with a pinpoint trajectory where all of them would hit Ellen.

Seeing this, Ellen simply moved to the right and successfully dodged all those bullets. She then gave another piece of advice. ”Theo. Even if you're confident with your aim, you should go for a more spread-shot. Some may miss, but it's better than no hit at all. With our distance, it's easy for me to avoid, so you should take into account where I go. If you go for a spread, that means I only have two options. Either use a shield or jump. That's where you should strike.”

Clone Theo nodded and shouted, ”I understand.”

Unbeknownst to her, right when she started giving the advice, the real him had gotten so much closer despite his injury.

”Of course. You need to have a clear field of vision. Don't focus on one person alone.” Ellen made a smirk and pointed her hand to Theo as if she had predicted him going at her. Four star-shaped blue lights emerged from the air, shining. ”Ice Star.”

Theo frowned, remembered how he got hit by this attack in their match and promised himself to avoid it next time.

He used the same tactic as yesterday. He went around the Ice Stars while maintaining his vision by using his clone's eyes.
