Chapter 287 – Brutal Fight
"Kh." Theo pressed his abdomen to suppress the pain a little bit and quickly leaped to the back to gain some distance, looking at Nella, who gradually came out of the wall.
Before he recovered, Nella leaped toward him and sent a punch. "Magic Saint Fist Style, Induction Fist."
"Elemental Shields." Four Elemental Shields appeared to block this punch, but right after hitting the Elemental Shields, Nella kicked him from the side.
The Magic Power from her kick blew his clone away while Nella destroyed the Elemental Shields.
Nella and Theo extended their hands at the same time.
"Telekinesis."
"Magic Saint Fist Style, Burst."
Their Magic Power clashed and Nella ended up getting pushed back again.
"As expected, your Telekinesis is still too powerful. It seems to be a C Rank Skill." Nella took a deep breath and leaped to the air. "But that doesn't matter."
Theo saw Nella punching the air and hurriedly used Blink to escape.
"Magic Saint Fist Style, Twister."
The torrential Magic Power hit the ground and shattered it.
Theo quickly used that chance to lift the rock with his Telekinesis.
".." Nella instantly regretted her decision to hit the ground instead of air. She looked at multiple rocks floating around her, trapping her in the middle.
When Nella was about to move, Theo leaped to the rock and jumped from one rock to another. "Flowmotion."
"Ho?" Nella indeed understood this skill. To think Theo would use his Telekinesis and Flowmotion this way, even she couldn't expect.
However, it was normal for someone to use one skill at a time. Only a special person like Ellen could wield two skills at the same time. In that case, the only reason Theo could use both of them was due to his clone using the Telekinesis. Theo's earlier motion was just to trick her.
As soon as she realized the trick, Nella summoned her Magic Bullets, sending it to him. "Magic Bullet."
".." Clone Theo furrowed his eyebrows and decided to synchronize with the real body.
Theo sprung to Nella with his spear. "Cannon Blast."
At the same time, the rocks fell down, but Clone Theo managed to save himself using the Elemental Shields.
Looking at the incoming Theo, Nella thought, 'This won't be good for me. My Magic Power won't hold long for this and Cousin only has several wounds on his body. In that case, I think I should risk everything from now on. It's impossible to win against him without sacrificing something.'
Steeling her resolve, Nella raised her fist, trying to strike Theo's incoming Cannon Blast.
However, as soon as Theo thrust his spear, Nella waved her hand from the side. Instead of hitting him, the Magic Power hit Theo's body.
"!!!" Even Theo didn't expect her to be this daring.
The Magic Power knocked Theo off while the spear pierced Nella's palm. If not due to her Magic Power, that spear would hit her abdomen. Still, Theo's condition wasn't that good either.
He rolled several times on the ground and remained down.
"This is it." Nella ran to Theo, but Clone Theo reappeared on the battlefield.
"Swift Energy."
Nella clicked her tongue and halted her steps, barely avoiding the spear that almost hit her head.
After that, Clone Theo kicked her away and threw the Magic Bullet again.
Nella clapped her hand to fend the bullets off, but the two Theos had used their Blink to appear next to her, thrusting their spears.
Surprisingly, Clone Theo was affected by the wave of Magic Power and disappeared.
Even Theo felt as if his hand was ripped apart by the Magic Power.
Still, Theo preserved and pierced her.
Knowing it was unavoidable. Nella grasped the spear and pulled it to the side, letting the spear stab her waist.
While enduring the excruciating pain, Nella hit Theo's chest. "Magic Saint Fist Style, Induction Fist."
The punch blew Theo to the wall.
She hurriedly spun Theo's spear and tossed it to him. "Shooting Star."
Theo raised his hand and stopped the spear with his Telekinesis. Although he failed, he managed to slow its momentum. After that, his Elemental Shields were the ones to stop it.
When everyone thought it was over, Nella didn't stop and threw a small concentrated Magic Power. "Mana Concentration Bomb."
Theo summoned his clone. The latter grabbed his wrist and threw him away, avoiding the bomb that almost hit him.
The shock wave messed up his landing, but at least, he didn't lose yet.
Nella turned around before falling to her knees. "Gah."
She tried to cover her wounds and looked at Theo.
Luckily, Theo's condition was similar to her. He was also struggling to get up.
The audience was shocked by this fight. Even Sheira was speechless because this was a desperate fight. Nella had superior prowess, but Theo could solve everything she threw, giving him the chance to defeat her.
Yet, both of their bodies obviously couldn't handle all this pressure and started to give up.
"Hahaha, good, good." Nella laughed, not caring about the wounds on her body.
When they stood on their feet, they continued their clash.
Even with Theo's wits, it was impossible for him to escape unscathed when Nella already didn't care about defense and just brutally hit him.
After another five minutes of the brutal fight, Nella and Theo stood in front of each other, panting with tired faces.
"This is the last. If I can't defeat you with this attack, I lose." Nella said with a serious expression as she gathered all the remaining Magic Power in her fist.
Theo also felt drained. Although he had enough Magic Power to last for a few moves, his body couldn't last longer than one more attack.
Surprisingly, he also found another weakness of his clone. It turned out the clone might not feel any pain, but it was indeed hard for him to control the clone anymore as the latter seemed to be following his body's condition.
Knowing this, he summoned his clone again but not moved him. He simply used his clone to release the Magic Bullet as cover fire.
historical
At the same time, he dragged his body to move.
'What will she do after this? No, if I were her, what technique should I use for the last blow in this situation?' Theo thought and raised his spear, covering the tip of his blade with energy.
"Here I come." Nella ran to him and hit the air. "Magic Saint Fist Style, Twister."
"Cannon Blast." Theo released his spear technique together with his Magic Bullets.
