Chapter 400 - Naive

Hearing his story, Agata couldn't help but chuckle. "I guess this is not the end."

Theo smiled and said, "For now, keep your eyes on me, but don't get too close to me. Understood?"

"Roger." She nodded in agreement.

Theo then quickly charged toward the Mutated Chimera Wolves with his group together. The same applied to the soldiers and the Eilric Family's squad.

They all pincered the monsters from two directions, trying to engulf the wolf pack.

"Let's go." Theo ran for a moment as he finally reached his first target.

His clone was already beside him and thrust his spear to this Mutated Chimera Wolf whose body had become a human. However, the lower body was still that of a wolf. Its two hands also remained original.

Seeing the normal attack from the clone, the Mutated Chimera Wolf waved its hand to block Theo's spear.

Meanwhile, the real Theo had disappeared from its vision.

The wolf sensed incoming presence and turned to the right, finding numerous Magic Bullets that would hit him.

The wolf extended its right hand and formed a blue protective screen, but it didn't realize this was the concentrated power of Theo, so the shield began to crack.

Using that chance, Clone Theo covered his fist with the Cannon Blast and struck the half-destroyed shield, shattering it and releasing the energy on the claw.

Because the wolf didn't have the chance to react, the energy started shredding the wolf's fur and skin, leaving some grazes where blood flowed out.

The Chimera Wolf leaped on top of him and tried to kick him, but Theo finally used the power of the ring in a fight.

As soon as he infused his Magic Power into the ring, a golden circular screen appeared in front of him.

It covered his entire body. When the Chimera Wolf kicked him, the shield completely blocked it, startling the wolf.

"!!!" The Chimera Wolf looked at Theo before turning to the right, finding another wave of Magic Bullets. The wolf used the shield again, but this time, the real Theo and his clone used their Blink to appear on top of him, thrusting their spears simultaneously.

The Chimera Wolf waved its claw, but Theo's Cannon Blast ripped its hand apart while his clone pierced it from the side until it flew off, resulting in Theo's spear continuing on its path and piercing through the wolf's body.

[Killed a Mutated Chimera Wolf.]

[EXP+54,500]

[You have leveled up.]

Theo smiled and looked at the numerous wolves before him.

With the army and the Eilric Family gradually destroying the pack, Theo killed a few more and got another level.

Meanwhile, Major Sam raised his head and released his power. With a single wave of his hand, the wind that circled his right arm flew off, expanding on the air and cutting everything on its way.

There were three Chimera Wolves that came to block it, but all of them were blown to the ground and died when the second ring hit them.

It was truly a nightmare for the Chimera Wolf to handle a Supreme Rank Expert. Not only was their level difference huge, but they were also separated by rank.

The same applied to the Supreme Rank Expert from the Eilric Family. The middle-aged guy wielded his war hammer and struck the ground. Soon, the ground beneath the Chimera Wolves rose to the sky, launching a total of ten Chimera Wolves into the air.

A woman in her late twenties then appeared and waved her sword.

"Purgatory Sword." The sword traveled with a speed far faster than the wolf. Even Theo would have a hard time following it. After all, she was someone who did everything to increase her speed.

She relied on the sword's sharpness to cut her enemies. And that plan succeeded as she cut all the wolves in the air within one second.

"Oh, that's cool." Major Sam raised his eyebrows while saying to his deputy, who seemed to be another middle-aged man with blue hair. "Hey, how about we do that too? Combination attack?"

"Major, you are two years older than me. Why are you still so childish?" His deputy could only shake his head helplessly.

"How many years have you followed me? You already know my personality. Besides, smiling and feeling happy are always a remedy for long life. See, I look ten years younger than you." He harrumphed.

"Ehm.. No." He shrugged. He looked younger, but not that young.

"You are supposed to say 'that's right' there." Major Sam sighed and said, "Well, we can't really play too much since there are civilians and another group there."

"That's right."

".." Major Sam was speechless by his deputy's poker face and said one last time. "You just don't want me to be happy, don't you?"

"That's right."

".."

All 65 people quickly swept the entire pack of Chimera Wolves. They didn't leave a single of them alive.

Major Sam killed the one who tricked them initially, while Theo managed to kill seven of them and leveled up twice in this fight alone and the fight came to a conclusion.

Alea immediately stood in the middle of the group and shouted, "Is there a casualty among us? Injured people are to have the healers check you."

After informing them, Alea went to the middle-aged man from her family who seemed to be talking to Major Sam. Before meeting them, Someone came to her and said, "Leader. I saw Theodore Griffith chasing someone into the woods. Sir Xavier and his men are searching for him to make sure nothing happens. He said you can talk to the other two groups and thank them."

"Oh, okay. Thanks. I will go after this." She nodded and realized that Theo was pursuing the assassin, so Xavier should be enough to bring him back. She then came to the two important people to thank them. "Thank you for coming to help us."

"Since young miss needed my help, there was no way this old man wouldn't help." He smiled.

Major Sam only nodded his head while asking, "Where is that guy? I'm here to help him and he doesn't even thank me.."

"He is chasing someone into the woods. A few people are trying to get him back." Alea answered innocently.

"Holy sh*t." Major Sam widened his eyes.

"What happens?" The middle-aged man from the Eilric Family asked in confusion.

"That guy told me the anomaly was an assassination attempt."

"!!!" The middle-aged man dropped his jaw to the ground and quickly looked around, finding half of the group missing. "Who wants to kill that guy? Half of them are missing. Young miss, why didn't you tell me this earlier?"

"W-what?" Alea was confused.

"Ah, you are still too naive. It's obvious the first guy he chased is the bait to bring him out of this place, while the guys who want to bring him back are the real assassins. This is the only time they can kill him after we make our appearance.." The middle-aged man turned around. "I'm going to help him."

"I'm going too.." Major Sam nodded in agreement.
