<h4>Chapter 275 - Battle Between Rtives</h4>
Theo''s eyebrows twitched a little bit before maintaining his poker face.
This small movement didn''t escape Ne''s eyes as thetter quickly poured more power into Theo''s spear.
"Kh!" Theo felt a jolt in his brain as if Ne''s Control managed to hit his mind. But the truth was the Magic Power shing with each other. Due to the disruption of the flow, Theo couldn''t control his Magic Power anymore. He gritted his teeth as if he felt extraordinary pain before his white spear turned into a blue spear, which was his other spear.
The silver pole on his back also returned to its original form, the white spear. "What did you do?"
Hearing Theo''s mumble, Ne smirked and exined a bit. "I''m just pouring my Magic Power into yours. Without enough control, it will disrupt the flow of your Magic Power, which is working for me because I know the two spears are in your… Hmm, using your clone to hide it… As expected from you, Cousin. Such a clever trick."
Before he replied, Ne already shouted, "Zara, Luka, these two are his spears. You go for the clone. He is holding the real pole."
"Understood." Both of them replied at the same time.
Because of their situation, Clone Theo raised his spear before changing his spear to a silver pole. There was no point in hiding it anymore.
Luka raised his sword and thrust it right at Sihan''s neck.
Sihan avoided it, but the thrust shot white energy shaped like that of silk, flying toward Clone Theo.
Clone Theo used his Blink to teleport himself away from the Empusa while avoiding this attack.
At the same time, Sihan mmed his shield to Luka, which was stopped by his sword. Unexpectedly, Sihan hid behind the shield before his sword came at him from the left.
"Huh?" Luka widened his eyes while ncing at the right. He thought, ''What? Is the swording from my right? But he should wield it with his right hand and with this shield in front of him, his hand will be stuck and stopped before the sword hits me. Surely he—''
Before he finished his words, Luka quickly ducked down to avoid the iing sword that was supposed to stop.
The sword went full swing before he saw Sihan''s left hand appearing in his vision. In other words, Sihan just exchanged hands to wield his weapon.
"What?!" Luka widened his eyes in amazement. He said inwardly, ''I have seen many people using both hands to handle a weapon, but this Sihan can exchange his hands in a matter of one or two seconds?''
Luka''s heart skipped a beat, realizing Sihan wasn''t a pushover either.
This was one of the small tricks he practiced during his training session with Radvils. With this dual wielding and blocking the enemy''s vision with his shield, he should be unpredictable.
"You shall not pass."
Sihan''s voice echoed in his ears before thetter took a step back while shouting, "Sorry, Ne. My hands are full right now."
This showed many people that Sihan had enough strength to stop him for a period of time, if not defeat him.
Ellen couldn''t help but smile, not wanting to lose to Sihan.
With her barely keeping up with Zara''s sword, Ellen tried to push her away with her staff by spinning her own body to generate enough force.
Zara only stomped the ground to gain enough strength to suppress Ellen again, but above them, three blue lights appeared out of thin air, preparing to hit them.
Zara narrowed her eyes, but before she could do anything, Ellen had released her skill, shooting all the lights.
Thetter soon noticed that the attack wasn''t for her. It was for the Empusa.
With their current position, the Empusa had no way to know the fact it was about to be destroyed.
Hence, Zara shouted, "Ne, stop it!"
Hearing that shout, Ne felt the iing attack that was about to pass them. She immediately realized the target and raised a blue light ball like Theo''s Magic Bullet.
But… Theo recognized this skill as it was the exact same thing as his Magic Bullet, albeit a bit weaker since it must be an E Rank Skill, unlike his D Rank Magic Bullet.
Unfortunately for him, Ne''s control was just too godly. The Magic Bullets flew straight to the moving lights.
Because they kept moving, the Magic Bullets missed it, but Ne''s force control made them turn in the attack''s path, hitting the three lights in session.
She didn''t stop there. The remaining seven bullets quickly made their way to the Empusa before getting a few more turns, surrounding Theo in all directions.
"…" Theo frowned as he knew Ne''s Control was this good. He remembered Ellen''s exnation about Force Control. Seeing that the Magic Bullets could turn a few times, Ne must be one step above Beginner Level Force Control, the Practitioner Level.
Clone Theo quickly leaped backward while summoning two Elemental Shields, one in the front and one in the back. The one in the back helped him get away while the other one stopped the Empusa''s attack.
"This is our difference, Cousin." Ne smiled.
"Yeah, I know. That''s why I am going to need this." Theo grabbed Ne''s pole as Ne also grabbed his spear. He then pulled the pole to invite Ne in and jumped with both feet kicking Ne''s abdomen.
Understanding his movement, Ne smiled and showed her flexibility once again. She let go of the spear and held the pole tightly while leaning to the side, grabbing Theo''s feet.
Ne didn''t give the time for Theo to recover his bnce and closed in, using the split second to arrive in front of Theo.
Because of the urgency, Theo let go of the silver pole and used the newly freed hand to stop Ne''s advance.
Both of them thought the same thing and hit each other''s hand with the metal pole in their hands. Ne''s silver pole hit Theo''s upper left arm while Theo''s spear handle hit Ne''s lower left arm.
They all used their strength to st each other away, but Ne had more advantage here as she released a burst of Magic Power, hitting straight to his chest.
"!!!" Theo felt his chest just got a powerful impact before flying into the air. He red at Ne, who quickly used that time to head straight to Clone Theo.
"Not good!"
