Chapter 114: F*cking Trash (1/2)

While fighting Hontar, Laust thought about Theo, especially how he tried to control the entire battle with his strategy. 'I'm sick of being controlled. You are just like my father, who won't acknowledge something in me. Don't think you can control me.'

Laust snorted, charged forward, and swung his blade at Hontar.

Hontar only smiled and received his blow while saying, ”Oi, oi. You must be hated by the group since you are acting like an *sshole. Are you sure you can fit in a team? Or is it due to your defeat?”

”Shut up!” Laust shouted and pressed him with all his might, but this was just a trap devised by Hontar.

”Laust!” Theo shouted to warn him about an incoming arrow.

Laust instinctively shifted his vision to Makkal, who had drawn his bow.

The arrow was black as if it was made of metal, but they didn't know what kind of arrow he currently used, so Laust only prepared his Elemental Shield to block the arrow.

”Heavy Arrow.” Makkal released his arrow as the arrow released an orange glow upon release.

”Elemental Shield!” Laust summoned a translucent shield that blocked the arrow for a second. However, the arrow's force was far greater than he expected as the shield cracked and shattered right after. The arrow continued on its way.

”No!” Laust shouted and threw himself to the back to avoid the arrow, albeit the arrow still grazed his chest.

At the same time, Hontar took this chance to get closer to Laust to get a clean strike at him.

Laust could still parry that attack, but it surely left him in a disadvantageous position.

This was the time Theo made his appearance by going around Laust and appeared on his left, leaving the bear and ape behind. Obviously, they chased him, but they needed to watch out to avoid hitting Hontar.

Theo summoned his Magic Bullet as if he planned to help Laust. This was a different kind of move since Theo would stop Hontar and allow Laust to make a counterattack.

And Laust thought Theo had decided to support him instead of controlling him. He couldn't contain his smug smile as he said, ”Nice decision, you f*cking trash.”

However, Laust and Hontar suddenly shuddered when Theo hadn't released his Magic Bullet yet.

He simply stared at Laust with eyes wide open as if telling him, ”You want my help, don't you?”

Laust clenched his fists, wanting to shout, ”Just shoot it, you dumbass.” But his pride made him swallow those words. This was what Ellen wanted when she whispered her plan to Theo.

To follow the scenario both of them created and due to their discord earlier, Theo shot the ape with his Magic Bullet and stopped it.

Theo charged toward Hontar with his spear while finding the bear and the ape helping him. Hontar leaped backward since he thought it wasn't good to fight Theo when he was in an advantageous situation.
