Chapter 547: Theo vs Leonardo Part 1

Theo, without hesitation, ran forward with his clone.

Clone Theo pushed his hand forward, sending the Telekinesis to blow Leonardo away. But when the energy was about to hit him, it dispersed in all directions, leaving Leonardo unaffected.

Theo knew it was Leonardo's own energy that neutralized Theo's Telekinesis. Hence, Theo and his clone split up to attack him from two directions.

Theo thrust his spear and spread his Cannon Blast to trap Leonardo inside while his clone summoned his Magic Bullets to shoot him down.

Seeing the two attacks, Leonardo made a small smile and simply took a step to his Magic Bullets.

Theo dropped his jaw because he realized his grandfather seemed to understand that his Magic Bullets would curve right before him and hit him from all directions.

Now that he had stepped to the side, the Magic Bullets missed and the Cannon Blast destroyed them, creating a powerful shock wave that neutralized the Cannon Blast itself.

"It seems you have understood it." Leonardo assessed Theo's expression and said, "I am using my Awareness. Also, if you can improve your hearing to listen to the Magic Power vibration, you should be able to sleep peacefully during the night. I myself can notice everyone within two miles with my senses."

"You're expecting me to do something like that right now?" Theo used his Blink to appear behind Leonardo while thrusting his spear, almost hitting him because of the carried momentum.

To his surprise, Leonardo's hand had already stopped his spear before he knew it.

"…" Theo looked at the hand that grasped his spear.

Leonardo immediately threw him to his clone, canceling the clone's attack.

"To be honest, I wouldn't want to use my Blink easily, especially my real body." He looked at the real Theo while giving his advice.

"Is it?" Theo smiled, fearlessly approaching him.

"Yeah." Leonardo nodded and waved his hand to the side.

Theo looked at his hand, waiting for Leonardo's attack. However, nothing happened, making him suspect whether his action had any meaning or not.

The moment he was about to retreat, the ground beneath his feet emerged from the ground, launching Theo into the air.

"Misdirection?" Theo raised his eyebrows.

"That's right. Although it's a sleight of hand, it can trick your opponent. For example, you wave your spear to the right, but it turns out you're attacking me with your Magic Bullets from the left… and so on." Leonardo advised Theo in his current fighting style.

Theo took a deep breath and nodded. "Understood."

"Also, you need to pay attention to the timing. You can delay your timing and such by controlling your Magic Power, allowing you to make a sneak attack."

Theo's expression became serious as his clone made another move. He placed his hand on the ground while using his Magic Augmentation.

With the overwhelming Magic Power and Theo's stance, it was clear that Clone Theo was about to charge at him by using the fastest change of pace.

Meanwhile, Theo came closer to his grandfather to take advantage of that chaos.

"Heh?" Leonardo smiled and raised his sword.

Clone Theo suddenly covered his fists with Cannon Blast and hit the ground, dispersing the power in all directions and turning the garden into a small crater.

Leonardo, who slipped due to the crater, saw the real Theo coming toward him.

Theo waved his spear down like that of a hammer to smash him into the ground, but Leonardo had predicted something like this and surprised Theo by showing his hands that held no weapon.

"Huh?" Theo soon realized it while his clone found the sword floating above him. "Since when…"

Before he could react, the sword flew down and hit the handle, knocking the spear to the ground by using the additional momentum.

Without any weapons, Leonardo's finger was already in front of his forehead and flicked him.

Boom.

That flick contained so much power that it sent Theo to the barrier. Luckily, Leonardo didn't pursue him and remained in his position, allowing Theo to recover.

It was clear that Leonardo let Theo do whatever he could before ending the fight.

Theo hurriedly formed a spear with his Magic Power and threw it to Leonardo's face.

"Oh! You can use this already?" Leonardo smiled when he saw the spear before knocking it away with his sword.

However, Theo planned to use it only for distraction because the actual attack came from the Magic Bullets.

Twenty approached him from the side while the other twenty flew down.

"This one is better. Can you delay their timing a little bit?" He asked while raising his sword. The Magic Power fluctuated from his sword as he swung his sword to spread the Magic Power, resulting in the Magic Bullets exploding in the air.

"I can, but it's not the time yet." Theo shook his head while catching his spear.

"Oh? You used that distraction to get your spear back?" Leonardo smiled. "It's kinda wasting your Magic Power. How about attacking me with your body while getting that spear?"

"No, my hand-to-hand combat is a bit too bad, so I don't dare to approach you." Theo shook his head helplessly.

"Good judgment." Leonardo agreed with him and said, "Though, you may want to approach me with your clone. I have sensed your Magic Power covering your spear… To be honest, I can just step on it, and you won't be able to get the spear back. The clone will provide the additional action."

"I see." Theo nodded. "I should have thrown the clone spear and attacked you with my clone."

"Y-yes. That may be a better way." Leonardo nodded while raising his sword. His Magic Power gathered around his sword again as he tapped the ground once, dispersing the Magic Power in all directions, resulting in a weak breeze.

Theo raised his eyebrows and summoned the shield from his Ring of Honor before crashing to the barrier.

Bam.

"Nice reaction." Leonardo smiled.

"Did you spread the Magic Power to hide that chunk of Magic Power?" Theo asked with one of his eyes closed, enduring the pain.

"There are many ways to hide your Magic Power even from someone like me," Leonardo confirmed Theo's suspicion. "This is one of the methods. I will teach you about it, so no need to rush. Let's continue our fight."

"Yes."
