Chapter 363: Two (1/2)

”…” 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.
