Chapter 365: Forced Retreat (1/2)

The blue screen dispersed the black ink in all directions. However, due to him being on the ground and the Three Great Defense skill itself, Theo didn't get any more pressure coming from the shield, allowing him to supply the Magic Power needed to block this attack.

Still, it didn't dismiss the disappointment in his heart.

”Ugh, I feel like this ink won't get off my clothes or my skin… Luckily, the shield is dispersing it, so it doesn't touch me or whatsoever. But…” Theo glanced at his clone, obliterated by the ink, before looking at the spear who already blended with the ground color.

His spear obviously had been painted black and seemed to be unusable after this. ”I need to buy a C Rank Spear, which will cost quite a fortune. And… The price is even higher than a C Rank Skill. Suck to be me.”

With that disappointment filling his heart, Theo kept blocking it until the squid stopped spurting the ink, realizing it could not penetrate Theo's defense.

In that instant, Theo used his Blink to take him upward and used his Telekinesis to fly straight to the squid.

The squid seemed to have noticed Theo's movement and returned to the water while sending all three tentacles to stop Theo.

Theo summoned his Magic Bullets once again and shot all eighty Magic Bullets.

The squid was obvious to what happened and tried to smack the bullets, not wanting to be hit by those bullets again.

Using this chance to resummon his Clone, He sent Clone Theo to grab the spear back. Even if he needed to discard it later, the clone could still use it since no black ink would matter to something that was bound to vanish sooner or later.

Meanwhile, the real Theo observed the squid's movement, trying to see where he should go.

At the same time as Clone Theo started heading to Ava, Theo went in the opposite direction to loop around, trying to hit the squid from its blind spot.

Unfortunately, the squid saw him and followed his movement even if it meant turning its giant body.

This was the time Clone Theo showed its superiority.

Theo wanted to create this opportunity, so his clone could change his direction and hit the squid's back where the protective screen couldn't reach.

”Cannon Blast.”

Theo stabbed the squid and ripped apart the skin, creating a hole with twice his height as the diameter. The position of the hole was above the right eye that had been destroyed by Theo earlier.

”This should weaken the squid even further,” Clone Theo muttered while glancing at Ava, who still managed to hold on.

Because of the attack, the squid turned around and slapped Clone Theo, but the real him utilized that movement to make a sneak attack, ripping another tentacle from the squid.

Bam.

The tentacle fell to the ground and created a small shock wave that kicked up the dust nearby.

Meanwhile, the disappeared clone reemerged next to Theo as they took this chance to unleash another attack to widen the wound they had made.

They ripped the skin apart and connected the hole in the eye and the one above it, widening the wound, which allowed the green blood to flow out even faster.

Due to that wound, the squid began to move slower than ever, giving Theo an easier opportunity to strike it.

”Ava, I'm almost done. Take care.” Theo shouted after cutting down another tentacle.

”Kyu!” Ava nodded and jumped in the air, avoiding the tentacle that almost hit her. At the same time, she headed to the left and hit the tentacle, blowing it away to prevent the tentacle from reaching Theo.

The latter couldn't be more grateful because the fight had been much easier with her help.

With the constant blood flow coming out of the body, the squid had become weak to the point one of the tentacles dropped on its own while the other could barely move.

Theo didn't hesitate in claiming that other's tentacle, rendering the squid useless.
