Chapter 404: Illusionist Duo (1/2)

”Theo, there are only four of them. We need to gamble here because if those guys appear again, we won't be able to do anything.” Agata warned him with a serious expression.

”Hmm?” Xavier frowned and took a look at his back, finding ten people missing. ”What?! Where are they?”

The others also began to glance back and were as shocked as him. It just showed how clean, smooth, and quick the assassins killed them. This was a real assassination. They didn't leave a sound and killed their target without anyone realizing it.

Theo, on the contrary, remembered what Agata's ability could do. He thought for a moment and nodded. ”If it's only four of them, I can do it. Confuse them with your skill and support me by showing their location and illusion. I will handle the rest.”

”Got it.” Agata nodded and stopped, placing her hand on the ground. Pink smoke started rising from the ground, surrounding them.

”What?!” Xavier gritted his teeth and said, ”Anyone can blow away this pink smoke?”

Before they could reply, Theo appeared in front of him, waving his spear.

Xavier gritted his teeth and raised his sword, blocking Theo's spear.

Clink.

A clicking sound echoed as Xavier released all his strength, planning to blow Theo away.

However, he soon got another pressure from above his head, pushing him down and making him bend his knees.

”What is this?” Xavier widened his eyes and said, ”I'm losing in strength? I'm losing to a mere new Hero Rank brat?”

In terms of strength, Xavier took pride in being the strongest, second only to Alea. That was why he couldn't accept this loss.

Suddenly, he sensed another presence on his back and dropped to his knees. This allowed him to gain enough distance from Theo's spear and use it to block this incoming presence.

It turned out another Theo appeared behind him.

He stopped both Theo's spears without a problem while shouting, ”I'm here, fighting two of them. He and his clone are here!”

The other three picked that call and quickly located their leader, heading straight to him.

Wanting to stop them, one Theo pulled back and disappeared within the smoke.

”Wait. One of them is aiming at you guys. Use your Awareness!”

Clink.

The clicking sound echoed in everyone's ears as they thought Theo went to them.

They had yet to realize Theo had been incorporating his own illusion and clone to Agata's Illusion Smoke. This time, each of his teammates found Theo coming toward them and fighting them. The sound looked perfect, even though it was only another illusion from Theo. He produced that sound like how he produced blood illusion in the competition.

Theo really had fun manipulating their hearing and vision, stopping the other three in an instant.

Meanwhile, the one that stopped Xavier from moving retracted his spear and disappeared inside the smoke.
