Chapter 370: Change

"Goar!" The squid's body swayed to the side, almost falling into the water.

"Wait a minute…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows as he thought something. He recalled what happened when he used the water and smirked. "So, that's how it is…"

Theo flew back, gaining a bit of distance from the squid.

"Cannon Blast."

Magic Power covered the tip of his spear as he focused on the blue light not far above the eyes. If he attacked there, the protective screen should appear.

And the technique he had in mind seemed to be perfect to see his current strength.

He pulled his spear back, preparing to thrust it to launch the Cannon Blast.

"When I fought Nella, I used my Telekinesis to create a small disruption that forced the energy from the Cannon Blast to go to the side, so the area of impact became wider. But…" Theo took a deep breath and smirked. "What if I reverse it?"

Theo thrust his spear, releasing the Cannon Blast.

The powerful energy wreaked havoc. The size wasn't that big since it was only ten feet in diameter, but if he compared it to the previous version, this one contained even more power, despite dispersing it to create a bigger area of impact.

However, Theo didn't want to create something like that to handle Nella's twister anymore. What he wanted was a concentrated power of his own Cannon Blast.

He imagined a funnel appear in front of his Cannon Blast. This funnel was formed by Telekinesis and absorbed all the Cannon Blast energy.

The concept in his head was when water flowed inside a big pipe and entered a smaller pipe and the water velocity would increase.

Using the funnel, he increased the velocity of his Cannon Blast, creating a faster speed and generating a more powerful force from what he had been doing this whole time.

The smaller but stronger Cannon Blast flew straight to the blue light.

Seeing such power coming, the squid quickly activated the blue protective screen, blocking the Cannon Blast.

As expected, the Cannon Blast dispersed to the side and created a tremendous shock wave to the area. However, what Theo did wasn't futile.

Crack.

Theo smiled when he saw a small crack on the protective screen, proving that his Cannon Blast could become stronger if he concentrated it into one small line.

"Great! In that case…" Theo smirked before seeing a tentacle from left and right.

As if not wanting to give Theo any more chance to release such an attack, the squid tried to concentrate all the tentacles to slap Theo to death.

Unfortunately, Theo was too sleek. He avoided every tentacle effortlessly and even used his Telekinesis and Flowmotion to generate enough force to outrun the squid, arriving behind the squid.

Since the squid had yet to turn around, Theo gathered the Cannon Blast energy again.

In fact, he played around a little bit just to buy enough time so he could use his Cannon Blast again.

And using this opportunity, Theo wanted to do something even more insane.

Theo channeled his Magic Power into his Cannon Blast and pulled his spear back, preparing for a thrust.

He was waiting for the squid to turn around so it could use the protective screen. After all, that might be the only one the squid could do to stop this attack.

As soon as their eyes intertwined, Theo thrust his spear. "Cannon Blast."

Instead of a funnel, he formed a small coin hole to concentrate the power of his Cannon Blast, turning it into a kind of extension of his spear.

The golden light from the Cannon Blast flew straight into that hole and was compressed into a single thin line like that of a blade, leaving a golden-colored trail as if his spear expanded.

The blade continued forward, hitting the protective screen.

A portion of the tip returned to a normal Cannon Blast as the energy was dispersed like usual. However, the protective screen cracked again even though the energy had yet to be depleted.

This energy continued to push forward and suddenly… *Clang!* The protective screen was shattered…

"Goar!" The squid roared in pain as Theo pierced through the protective screen, shattering the blue light inside his body.

A smile appeared on Theo's face as he understood what Fenrir talked about.

"Each movement has its own intention. Dispersing the power with my Telekinesis can give me a bigger reach while concentrating it can give me a more powerful force." Theo licked his lips in excitement, knowing that this change alone would improve his fighting prowess so far. And there were a few more tips that Fenrir gave him.

He couldn't wait to explore and master all of them.

"Anyway, this is the extent I can do right now: Replicating my master's Materialization by using In Motion and Telekinesis and changing one's perspective to release a skill." Theo's heart calmed down as his eyes became extremely cold. "I guess it's time to kill the squid."

"Magic Bullets."

Twenty Magic Bullets flew to several spots that couldn't be covered by a protective screen.

The squid had no choice other than to use its tentacles to destroy the Magic Bullets, not wanting to be hurt anymore.

Unfortunately, this was the last thing he should do when facing Theo.

Theo used this chance to close his distance with the squid.

Appearing in its vision, the squid instinctively sent one of the tentacles to push him away. Unfortunately, Theo raised his hand and covered his spear as if he used his Cannon Blast, aiming at the tentacle.

Realizing that the attack could pierce the barrier and destroy the blue light, the squid flinched and tried to change the direction of its tentacle.

It was then Theo's image disappeared, revealing that he actually pointed his spear at the squid's eye instead of his tentacle.

"As expected, absolute strength can make an illusion better." Theo smirked as he just managed to scare the squid with only an illusion.

He then thrust his spear with his External Flow and Telekinesis as if using a drill, creating a bigger hole than his spear was supposed to.

"Goar!" The squid screamed in pain.
