Chapter 284 - Brain Vs Brawn Part 2
"Mana Concentration Bomb."
"!!!" Theo saw the incoming bomb that would soon hit the ground. After experiencing it in the battle, he quickly used his Blink to teleport him away from the area of impact.
Boom.
The bomb hit the ground and created a powerful shock wave that would push him away to the wall. Unlike the previous round, without Sihan, he might be heavily injured if he took it directly.
"You won't get away." Nella smiled and waved her hand. "Mana Wave."
The crescent-shaped Magic Power flew straight at Theo.
To avoid the attack that defeated Ellen, Theo retracted his clone and resummoned it to his side, forcing the latter to use the "Blink" skill to send him away to another place.
The Mana Wave hit the wall before it was revealed that Diego used his power to block this attack himself.
Using this kind of attack would seriously hurt her Magic Power Reserve, but Nella dared to do this because she wanted to send Theo to one certain place.
Due to their previous location, she needed one second to close the distance. But with Theo using his Blink to the side twice, he was just one step away from her.
Without hesitation, she quickly launched herself to Theo.
"Elental Shield." Both he and his clone summoned a total of four Elental Shields.
However, Nella didn't even flinch and struck the shield.
"Magic Saint Fist Style. Induction Fist."
Bam.
All four shields shattered into pieces but at the cost of Induction Fist.
Clone Theo ran away to grab the spear he left behind while Theo thrust his spear at her neck. "Cannon Blast."
Nella took two steps back and pointed her palm at Theo. "Magic Saint Fist Style. Burst."
The energy that flew away from his spear suddenly got pushed to the side in almost an instant before a shock wave ford behind him.
The pain started to spread on his chest as if Nella's fist successfully struck him.
He soon flew away because of the Magic Power and crashed to the wall.
After that, she leaped forward to follow him before clapping her hand to spread the Magic Power again.
Forty Magic Bullets hit her simultaneously from behind before she halted her movent and looked up, finding nothing in the sky.
Due to the previous incident, Nella kept thinking there would be another ambush prepared for her, hindering her movent a lot.
At the sa ti, Nella's overwhelming offensive ability also prevented Theo from using his Blink continuously because he knew there might be a powerful attack like earlier coming at him.
Although their approaches were different, both of them excelled in their own way and managed to fight equally.
Theo ca out of the wall with a serious expression. Surprisingly, no injury was present on his body.
He took a deep breath and raised his spear. He didn't know why, but he rembered his first encounter with his master.
It was in the forest and his master kept changing her personality as if there were multiple personalities residing in her body.
Back then, she said, "You must be thinking how my change of personality prevents you from discerning my real thoughts. This is intentional. By changing your personality from ti to ti and making others know about this side of yours, they will seriously think of your every mont unnecessarily. Even a simple smile can pressure them from making any movent. I call this deception."
Rembering her words, Theo couldn't help but recall the smile that stopped Nella. He thought, 'Master… I have finally understood what you an. My reputation may beco my weapon to defeat other people stronger than .'
With a smile on his face, Theo glanced to the left and summoned his Magic Bullets. He shot them to the left without hesitation.
"!!!" Nella didn't understand the aning of his action and followed his gaze before finding nothing, including the Magic Bullets. Yes, the magic bullets didn't even go to the left.
The earlier movent was just to deceive Nella before the Magic Bullets turned sharply to the right and looped around her. It then hit her from the right using the Tracking ability.
"Magic Saint Fist Style. Twister." Nella punched the air and released a powerful current of Magic Power that swept away all the incoming bullets.
Theo's expression turned grim as he watched that technique seriously. He thought, 'Hmm, Induction Fist, Twister, and Burst. According to her, those three have different dosages of Soft and Force Control. I can understand her a bit after the lesson with Teacher Rai, but there is sothing missing… Sothing I have yet to discover. What is it?
'That Twister and Burst are releasing the Magic Power to the air so it can hit the enemy from a distance. However, why does Twister require her to clench her fist while pointing her palm at the opponent to use Burst?
'It's as if they are…' Theo gasped and gulped down. 'I need to check it myself. And probably with my body to get a better feel.'
Steeling his resolve in his heart, Theo leaped to Nella.
Nella furrowed her eyebrows and waved her hand, using the Magic Power to strike Theo's spear from the side, knocking it away.
Surprisingly, Theo didn't even flinch when he lost his spear and punched her.
'What?!' Nella was surprised but still used this occasion to strike Theo's fist. "Magic Saint Fist Style, Induction Fist."
"Kh." Trendous pain jolted his brain as if his bones were about to crack. However, Theo couldn't help but smile as he finally understood what was going on.
After that, he jumped backward and used the force of Nella's fist to launch him back.
"What are you doing?" Nella asked as she couldn't comprehend his action.
Theo remained silent before a huge, excited smile appeared on his face.
"I see. So that's how it is. Your explanation is still incomplete. The dosage is one of the ways to use this ability, but you also need to control the direction and which pore you need to open to release this amount of Magic Power, right?"
"Yes. It's a hard process…" She didn't finish her words because she saw Theo approaching.
However, what shocked her the most was his gesture.
He suddenly stopped in front of her and raised his hand, extending it to the front without touching her.
'What? That gesture? Burst? He shouldn't—" She didn't have enough ti to think as she also followed the sa gesture and extended her hand as their palms almost touched each other.
But this action brought a shock to the world.
A shock wave appeared behind Theo and flew away from him like how it was supposed to be since Nella had mastered this power. And yet, another shock wave was also ford behind her at the sa ti.
It was smaller in comparison, but it generated a similar power to that of Nella's.
"What?!"
