"There are two of them." The Magic Saint couldn't help but smile as he turned around. "As expected, you are the main body."
The magic power around his hands erupted, causing a small shock wave. The clone Theo marched forward as if it didn't fear anything the Magic Saint could do.
He even used the Irregular Guardian to form a sword, planning to cut Mason into two. At the sa ti, Theo also approached him, but with this distance, Mason would be able to strike the clone first before Theo's real body arrived.
As long as Theo could stop the clone once, he would be able to survive.
Without hesitation, Mason punched the clone Theo with all his might. The magic power on his fist erupted and caused a ripple in the air.
Theo struck the fist with his blade. It was clear that his objective was to stop the Magic Saint from his real body from killing him. This was the only purpose, so Clone Theo used all his might just to stop him.
But to his surprise, the mont the fist struck him, the sword imdiately broke apart. The fist continued straight to the body and obliterated it.
"!!!" The Magic Saint widened his eyes. Theo's clone wasn't supposed to be this weak. The only thing that had this kind of strength would be his illusion.
However, he couldn't see the Magic Power once again. He didn't realize Theo had used his two-layer of Magic Power. And each layer created the sa exact illusion. If Mason could barely see through one illusion, he wouldn't be able to see anything with two layers.
That was why he didn't realize that the clone was just an illusion. And everything was for the sake of this mont.
Theo suddenly appeared behind Mason with his sword.
"This is the end. I am nothing but a trickster…" Theo smirked. He reminded him that his opponent was a trickster. And there was no way he wouldn't use any tricks in his attacks.
Since the situation had gone awry after the previous attack, Mason would surely co to attack him.
With his personality, Mason would surely believe that there would be another Theo if the latter ca out from behind the rock.
He wouldn't have thought about the possibility of it being an illusion. And by the ti he destroyed it, it was already too late.
Theo waved his sword down, splitting Mason into two.
As one would expect from a Saint, there was no way they would go down without a fight. Even if he was about to die, he would still struggle by using the Magic Power on his other hand. He let the Magic Power explode, blowing his body to the side.
The slash that was supposed to cut him down ended up only taking his entire arm.
Mason hurriedly moved away to regain so distance. But Theo used his Blink to appear right in front of him and struck him from above.
"Kh." Mason used his Magic Power to stop the blade, but Theo planned to kill Mason right here.
So, he applied the illusion into his swing and took a step back, resulting in the blade not touching Mason. This way, Theo completed his swing and he utilized the illusion to make Mason believe he had been cut down.
Theo replicated all the pain from being cut and sent it straight to his mind.
eαglesnᴏνel Due to his injury, Mason couldn't help but believe it was real for a second. But he still had enough ntal fortitude to see through the illusion and break it with the remaining Magic Power.
However, a small portion of the illusion had been applied to reality. And that one second caused a huge sword mark on Mason's face, almost cutting his skull. If he had just got another second, his blade would have reached the brain and killed Mason.
But this wound was enough. Even Mason would have a hard ti moving now that his skull had been exposed to the outside.
And without hesitation, Theo swung his sword once again to kill Mason.
Mason gritted his teeth. Even though his consciousness was about to fade away, he still had one more thing to do before he died.
He shouted with the remaining energy he had. "ABSORB , SLI—!"
Before he finished, Theo had severed his head, killing Mason.
[You've killed a Magic Saint.]
[EXP 170,089,000]
[You've leveled up.]
Theo took a deep breath as he finally finished his task. Yet, despite such an achievent, his expression beca grim.
The reason was the last words Mason said. He was trying to have the sli absorb him.
Before he died and the world retook the Saint's Authority, if the sli managed to absorb him, the sli would gain another powerful ally, nullifying the advantage they had.
But luckily, he managed to kill him first before the sli could react. It was truly frustrating.
Theo took a deep breath first before looking around to make sure the sli didn't co to this place. Luckily, the sli fully knew that he wouldn't gain anything from a dead man. So, he was satisfied with the current conclusion.
Theo had leveled up once more.
"I am level 997, almost level 998. If I can kill my original self, it might give another level or even two… allowing to reach level 1,000. Still, it's not enough to evolve. I still need to fill the bar of my EXP. So, I might have to kill a lot of monsters or one more World Class Monster. But…" Theo thought for a mont.
He didn't know who he should kill at this point. He wanted to kill either a World Class Monster or the Fist Saint, but he didn't know if he had the ti to do it or not.
All he could do right now was to go to the original Theo and outnumber him. The quicker he ended the fight, the better the chance to kill another Saint.
With that thought in mind, Theo disappeared from the battlefield.
