Chapter 655 - Taunt (1/2)
The roots and branches were snapped and the barricade was torn by the monsters. Because they were controlled, they didn't care about the pain they suffered and continued making their way toward Theo and Agata.
”It doesn't look like they're going to let us escape.” Agata frowned.
”I know. Prepare to dodge.” Theo nodded with a serious expression.
Just like he expected, the Dryad controlled the trees to attack them.
The trees extended their roots to stab them while the branches connected to other trees.
The Dryad seemed to be preventing him from escaping from this forest, but he still didn't understand why she bothered to create a net above their heads. In the end, he could escape with his Blink.
His answer soon came in the form of action. The branches that had been connected to each other started to snap and rain them down.
These weren't normal branches. Instead, it was sharp branches that used the force from the snap to launch itself to Theo.
Theo frowned and immediately put up a shield by using his Ring of Honor to block them. Then, he asked, ”By the way, how many monsters have we killed so far?”
”Around a hundred have died. Another two hundred are injured. The rest have their path blocked by the monsters in front of them, so we won't be facing them anytime soon.” Agata reported with a curious expression.
”Okay.”
”How should we escape?”
”Why should we escape? I already said we're going to kill that Dryad.”
”I mean, it's impossible to handle all these monsters. Even if we use all our Magic Power, it's not enough to kill them.” Agata shook her head as she became even more curious about Theo's plan.
”Well, I will show you how.” Theo smirked and said, ”Follow me.”
Suddenly, Theo shifted his direction a little bit. The monsters kept chasing him while the Dryad was staring at Theo in confusion.
She didn't know what kind of plan Theo had, considering Theo was soon going to be cornered. She had made several barricades at the edge of her territory by using the monsters and trees, so it was impossible for Theo to escape.
Even Agata was confused as this must be Theo's new trick. She just followed him while fending off the enemies, keeping their distance.
”You won't be able to achieve whatever you're planning to do.” The Dryad started making her move again.
The vines emerged from the ground and slammed them, but Clone Theo appeared and used his Magic Augmentation and Magic Power Expansion to cover his hand.
He struck the vines and used that extraordinary force from the Magic Power Expansion to rip the vines apart. He managed to do it for four vines before the rest returned back to the ground as if they were afraid to experience the same thing.
The Dryad was clenching her hands as Clone Theo flew a few feet above the ground, so she could see him.
”What's wrong? You look like you're experiencing extreme pain. Ah, is it because of your vines?” Theo grinned as he used his Telekinesis to carry the big vines with him.
