Chapter 168: Art Beats Castles Wall (1/2)
When Clone Theo suddenly stopped, the group looked at him, only to find him staring in a certain direction. The group instantly realized that Theo had returned and followed his gaze.
They soon found Theo coming with four spears and a backpack, looking very weird.
”Haha, I'm sorry for missing so suddenly.” Theo chuckled and reached them. He handed the backpack to his clone along with the two spears. For the time being, his clone became his luggage carrier while he fought with the new spear.
”You took so long… What did you do, Theo?” Phyrill glanced at him, asking nonchalantly.
Listening to his tone, he knew even if he didn't want to say it, it would be fine.
However, Theo decided otherwise. He opened his mouth and explained the situation. ”To put it simply, someone tried to sabotage us and made us lose this round by not registering for the emergency leave. There is an official soldier that will do it for us in front of the Teleportation Circle. Anyway, I will explain the details later… I just want you to know that everything has been processed.”
The group widened their eyes, never expecting Theo to find something like that. They looked at each other and wondered whether Theo never trusted anyone.
Despite having doubts in their eyes, they didn't utter it so as to avoid hurting anyone.
”In any case, we should focus on the matter right now.” Theo smiled and recalled what the clone had seen.
As he closed his eyes to ponder their next move, a monster reached the top and leaped to the sky. Its appearance was similar to that of a lion, but its body was blue and the mane was black. Blue lightning suddenly covered the lion as the latter landed on top of the wall.
”It's a Blue Lightning Lion.”
”It should be a Level 200 Lion.”
Many started shouting while Theo opened his eyes to check the lion along with the left and right sides to see whether they had reinforcement or not.
From what he could see, the people around them were students or some low-level hunters, so he knew this monster would kill them.
Without bothering to check, Alea and Sihan already charged at the lion to prevent any casualties.
Sensing their presence, the lion turned around and waved its right paw, trying to slice both of them with the claws.
Sihan knew he might not be strong enough to handle this, so he used his Frenzy again and stopped the powerful sweep using his shield.
The lion widened its eyes but soon leaped backward to avoid Alea's attack. Suddenly, Laust and Phyrill appeared from both sides and kicked the lion's stomach.
”Roar!” The lion roared in pain, but Alea cared no more and charged at him, cutting his head into two. Their level difference wasn't that much anyway. In addition to her blessing, Alea's strength was equal to the lion, resulting in her killing the lion in one blow.
”…” The people on the wall stared at Alea in silence. Even the soldiers stopped their movement and turned around immediately while checking the condition under the wall.
