Chapter 245 - Enrica’s Boldness

Bam.

".." Theo furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Enrica caught his fist with her bare hand.

On her hand, several golden lines emerged as if they gave her power.

"As expected, your strength is equal to that of a top-notch fighter. Maybe you're focusing on your Strength and Magic Power.." In that instant, she seemed to have understood Theo's status points allocation.

However, Theo obviously denied it and tried to break free from her grip. "You too. Are you planning to become a berserk priest or something?"

"Of course not. If you don't come at me, I won't even use my power."

"No, no. You can give up right now. Then, I won't have a reason to go after you anymore." Theo shook his head and summoned his clone because he couldn't escape from her.

But a smile appeared on Enrica's face as soon as she saw his clone. It was at this moment, he realized what she planned to do.

Clone Theo quickly threw himself to the side before a translucent golden barrier appeared, trapping Theo and Enrica inside.

"What are you planning.." Theo furrowed his eyebrows and used his Blink to get away, only to crash to the translucent barrier. "Wha—"

Enrica smiled and explained. "Even your Teleportation Skill won't be able to escape from this barrier."

".." Theo frowned and checked with his clone. He needed to decide whether to recall his clone inside or send the clone to help Ellen and Sihan. After a while, Theo quickly controlled the clone to enter the labyrinth because Enrica wanted to trap his clone inside.

"Since that's the case, I won't be holding back." Enrica clapped her hand as a golden light shone from her hand. "Smite."

Theo abruptly looked to the sky and noticed a small star-shaped golden light that gradually expanded.

historical

"!!!" Feeling something big would happen, Theo came to Enrica again because even she wouldn't escape this attack unscathed. "Wait.. That's the reason you do this.."

"Of course. I can heal myself, so why am I afraid to hurt myself?" Enrica answered Theo's question earlier, but it indeed came in a scary tone.

"It's already enough for one person to want to smite me. I don't need the real thing.." Theo raised his hand and sent another punch.

However, Enrica caught it again with her hand as the golden light finally sent its power down.

They were inside the barrier and Enrica needed to open the barrier so the golden light could swallow them.

This time, Theo decided to risk it and used his Blink to go straight to the Golden Light, finding the barrier to open.

As soon as he left the barrier and was about to be hit by the golden light, Theo used his Telekinesis to launch himself to the side, avoiding the golden light at the last second.

That golden light finally descended and struck Enrica alone as Theo felt relieved he wasn't inside that barrier anymore.

When everything ended, Theo could see both her sleeves had been shredded together with some parts of her nun uniform.

"Such a fast reaction," commented Enrica as she walked out of that light without any injury.

"You're insane. Double suicide is not my thing."

"Haha, I can't say anything about it. That's the only thing I can do to defeat you.. I am a healer after all." She shrugged. "Well, at least, I have protected the area that needs to be protected, so I don't do any misconduct for the time being.. Let's continue, shall we?"

Theo clicked his tongue and realized defeating her couldn't be done within a few minutes.

..

Meanwhile, Ignazio and Lavinia had finally come out of their hiding spot, facing Sihan and Ellen.

Ellen didn't hesitate and waved her hand, summoning four blue lights above her head.

"Ice Star."

The four blue lights flew to Ignazio and Lavinia. The two marched forward while dodging all the blue lights, but the latter turned around and chased them.

Ignazio had recognized the power behind those blue lights, knowing it was under the influence of Force Control, so he snapped his fingers as a giant golden shield emerged behind him, receiving all the lights.

It created a couple of Ice Crystals, but all of them disappeared together with the shield.

Sihan stepped forward to prevent the two from approaching Ellen, acting as a Guardian. He raised both hands as both began to glow.

When their attention was taken away by Sihan, Ellen created three Ice Lotuses above their heads.

"Bloom, Ice Lotus."

However, Lavinia stomped the ground as a head-sized stone came out of the ground.

"Ratten." She then kicked the rock to the Ice Lotuses above Ignazio's head since Ellen wanted to eliminate her first by sending two Ice Lotuses upon her.

However, Lavinia's eyes glowed a bit as if she was possessed. When the two Ice Lotuses fell, she leaped to the side at the right timing. Her maneuver and movement ability didn't look like a human at all.

"Striga.. A witch or a sentient beast.. It resembles a woman, bat, dog and rat. I see." Sihan became serious as he recognized the first two moves. They came from Rat and Dog, giving her the ability she needed to counter their attacks.

Right before they arrived, a blinding light came into their vision as they all noticed it was coming from the other battlefield.

"It seems they're having fun as well." Ignazio smirked and went in another direction, going around them to ambush them from behind.

"Take care of him," said Ellen while staring at Lavinia.

Sihan agreed without hesitation and turned around, protecting Ellen's back.

To create an opportunity for Ignazio, Lavinia took a deep breath before opening her mouth as big as possible, letting out a Sound Wave.

Before that, Ellen hit the ground with her "Frost Nova" as an Ice Crystal appeared from the ground. The Sound Wave hit the Ice Crystal first and got redirected, preventing the sound from hurting their eyes.

Due to the Ice Crystal's uneven form, the Sound Wave was dispersed in all directions.

Ellen clicked her tongue and commented with a calm expression. "Still, the sound itself is not that loud, but it certainly hurts one's ears."

Despite such a failure, Ignazio continued on his track, facing Sihan directly.

Unbeknownst to them, there was Theo taking a peek on the corner, watching the entire situation. He had been standing behind the wall to observe the entire situation and waited for the right time to strike them.
