Chapter 428: A Damsel not in Distress (Anymore) (1/2)
Before thinking about other things, Theo used his clone to turn the monsters into cards while asking Ava to make sure no monsters approached them again.
After that, he began to recall what happened during the fight. ”Ten to twenty levels won't bring that much difference, so the quantity indeed made the battle far harder than I expected.
”Ava helped me this time, making the whole workload easier. If I were with my clone… I could probably fight eight of them at the same time.” Theo still remembered that he was once chased by fourteen people at once. ”Now that I think about it, I was lucky that Daemon Group killed them.
”Unlike monsters, they could employ strategy one after another, making the situation hard for him. Of course, I couldn't expect my enemies to have a dumb leader all the time. In other words, I should be able to fight four of them without a clone and other assistance.
”If my enemies were more than that, I should avoid getting surrounded and start exhausting them first before engaging them.” Theo's expression turned serious. ”Luckily, I learned all this when fighting these monsters, not those who almost assassinated me.
”And the future will surely become harder… After all, the enemies, whether they were humans or monsters, will become even stronger. They also have more experiences under their belts, making their movement refined.
”Of course, I am not planning to slack off, but my advantage will gradually become less and less. The only way to widen the gap is through the Five Aspects. God of Mischief has created a foundation for my Control to get all the help from Awareness, Breathing, Technique, and Endurance.
”I really need to speed up my training, so I can start learning Awareness.” Theo thought for a moment. ”Then, should I go to Italy? I can't really decide, considering I may be able to do something better with Breathing, Technique, or Endurance.”
After thinking for a moment, Theo just shrugged while saying, ”I will make the decision when I face it, I guess.”
Theo soon lowered his head, finding Ava looking at him with an apologetic expression.
Her rabbit ears were lowered as she tried to glance at Theo but kept turning back to the ground.
”Kyu…” Ava wanted to apologize to Theo.
However, Theo soon bent down his knees and extended his hand for Ava to come up.
Ava was a little hesitant but still hopped onto his palm. She heard Theo saying, ”I'm not blaming you.”
Listening to his words, Ava couldn't help but raise her head, staring at him in disbelief.
”Haha, mistakes can happen. Even I can't escape from making mistakes.” Theo smiled and continued, ”All we can do is to learn from it. That's why I'm actually thankful to you. The mistake you made earlier gave me something far more important.”
”Kyu?!” Ava still couldn't believe it, but Theo didn't seem to be lying.
”Yep. I will tell you what I realized earlier after taking a bath.” Theo pointed at the sky. ”It's going to be dark soon. And these wolves live near the river… We can go there to wash our bodies before camping near the river. Of course, I will be counting on you to locate any wolves around there.”
”Kyu!” She nodded furiously, not wanting to mess up again.
