Chapter 369 - Rechallenge The Squid
Theo gradually opened his eyes.
When Ava, who just returned from hunting a monster for them to eat, saw him, she instinctively took a step back.
There was a kind of beast sll lingering around him and his eyes seed to be filled with it. This kind of beast was obviously far higher level than her to the point the aura alone managed to suppress and frighten her.
"Kyu?!" Ava stared at Theo's eyes, frozen.
Theo hadn't noticed her yet as he was still gathering his thoughts about what Fenrir told him.
It took him three minutes before he turned his head, finding Ava hadn't moved a single step from her position.
"Hmm?" Theo's expression llowed again after adjusting his ntal state. "Why are you standing there?"
"Kyu?!" Ava's body shook as the aura disappeared. It seed Theo t a powerful beast.
"Co here." Theo smiled and extended his hand.
Ava leaped on top of his palm while checking whether the aura had truly disappeared or not. It scared her so much after all.
"How is the situation in these two hours?" Theo asked.
Ava shook her head as if telling him nothing happened. She pointed to a hundred feet away from them where blood sprayed the grass, showing that she just hunted the monster not only to protect him but also for their food supply.
"Is that so?" Theo stroked her back while saying, "Thank you, Ava."
"Kyu!" Ava nodded furiously.
Suddenly, a thought flashed in Theo's mind as he raised his eyebrows. "Wait a minute. Is this the reason why he wanted to go there imdiately? He wanted to test my current strength against the squid?
"Although I couldn't replicate almost everything he showed because of my lack of Control and practice, I still could do a few things by changing my mindset." Theo looked down, contemplating his plan for a mont.
After several considerations, Theo's lips curved as he said, "Ava, do you mind waiting here for a bit longer? I plan to kill the squid by myself. And yes, without my clone."
"Kyu!" Ava raised her foot.
"You can watch my battle, but no help, okay?" Theo smirked.
Ava nodded a few tis before leaping off and looked back at him, wondering when he planned to do it.
"I just gained this knowledge, so it's better to do it when my mind is fresh. Besides, I still have enough Magic Power to do it." Theo rose from the ground and glanced to the right, finding his white spear planted on the ground. He picked it up while lanting the blue spear that had beco completely black due to being covered with ink.
Even when his clone touched the ink, there was no sign of wiping it off.
After letting out a short sigh, Theo then looked in the lake direction. His expression beca serious.
"Let's go." Theo turned and dashed back to the lake.
As soon as Ava heard his command, she followed right behind him, stopping two hundred feet away from him where the squid couldn't reach her and she still had a visual of Theo's fight.
The lake was still black, but Theo paid no heed and shot his Magic Bullet to the lake, calling the squid again.
Angered by him, the squid quickly resurfaced.
Theo raised his vision and saw the hole Ava made earlier.
When the squid saw Theo's appearance, it released its bloodlust, filling the entire atmosphere with killing intent. Inside the squid's head was only one thing. Not only had he killed his partner, but he also dared to co back with that relaxed face.
The squid raised all four tentacles at once, planning to beat him.
Theo, on the contrary, smiled and used his Blink right before the tentacles hit him. Reappearing in the air, Theo flew straight to the squid.
However, the latter seed to have learned from their previous fight too. Since it couldn't use the tentacles, the squid tilted its head and hit Theo with his long head.
"!!!" Theo flew to the side, but he was still hit right on edge.
He might have blocked it, but the power launched him into the water.
Not wanting to be wet, especially getting covered in ink, Theo used his Telekinesis to create a counterforce before stopping him one foot above the water.
Although he didn't understand why, at this particular ti, Theo recalled the scene when his master saved him from the giant turtle.
"She might say Materialization, but… I rember she spun her body to direct it…" Theo suddenly got a brilliant idea since he was right on the water surface.
His expression beca solemn as he pointed his spear to the black water, forming a ripple that went to both sides, and used his Telekinesis to raise the water.
Like his master, Theo used the tip of his spear to control the water. The circular-shaped water, ten feet in radius, began to rise. And due to the spin of his body, the water ford a spiral.
Theo even used his Telekinesis to elevate himself into the air, so the spiral could go even higher while still connected to the lake water.
Unfortunately, his control couldn't allow him to form a snake or a dragon like his master. And this spiral of water was similar to that of a long earthworm circling around an invisible pillar.
Even so, this was the best thing he could do right now.
The squid obviously didn't want to let Theo finish doing whatever he planned to do. Hence, he tried to slap Theo into the water and drown him.
Theo smiled and flew to the side, carrying the spiral of water.
Bam.
The tentacle missed Theo and hit the bottom of the spiral.
anwhile, Theo had arrived right next to the squid's face and slamd the water right on him.
The speed of the water current created enough force to push the squid to the side.
"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue. "I guess my Control is still not strong enough, but…"
Not wanting to waste this chance, Theo took another spin and hit the squid's face with his spear like he used a hamr. The Telekinesis and External Flow boosted the power of that swing, creating a force that knocked the squid down.
"Goar!"
