[Freyte: The king and queen know aurora was kidnapped but ansthor lied to them, he's in the prison now. The king suspects a leak and they are sending people to your last known location, hope this helps]

[Danx_72: Wait what if a person lie in the comment? Its very dangerous!(This time i don't see nobody lie don't worry Mr. Theo)]

…

On the way, Theo received the comments again and smiled, muttering inwardly, "I see. I'm grateful for the information. I have seen a few comments with lies during the mission in Haruka's world, so I get the gist of the situation. So, I appreciate it."

The fact that the king had sent his people to find them meant that he could be on the same side. Theo abruptly stopped, alarming the four students.

"Hmmm?!" Aurora was the first to notice and turned around. "Teacher?"

"!!!" The other three used their feet to slide on the ground before coming to a complete stop.

"What's wrong? Did you sense something, Teacher?" Jayden asked.

"Well, you could say it that way. How should I explain this…" Theo stroked his chin for a few seconds before raising two fingers. "First, it seems that there will be reinforcement coming to our last known location."

"Oh?!" The twins had a brightened expression, thinking it would be a good idea to return.

Jayden, on the other hand, felt something was wrong. "Why did you tell us something like this, especially with this timing? If you told us earlier, we could easily return and wait."

"That's the second thing. I am not that omnipotent. It's already lucky that I could get this kind of information." Theo shook his head helplessly before testing the kids again. "What do you think we should do?"

They were contemplating their choices after getting this new information. Meanwhile, Theo was actually cursing the author in his heart. 'The author is the winner this time. I should have known that he can use the comments this way.'

Theo clicked his tongue, feeling annoyed after losing. They had been going for a few hours to their new destination, meaning that if they went back, it would take far longer than their new destination.

This precious time could be used by their enemies to defeat them. Hence, even if they received this information, they would ultimately continue their journey onward.

And Theo precisely knew that the author wanted him to go forward. The reason was simple. There would be an ambush lying somewhere in their path.

Theo realized that since there would be a few hours gap to their destination, the author could actually choose what time he would begin the chapter, especially with this kind of information. In other words, the reader might have helped Theo, but he didn't allow Theo to get his advantage.

'Seriously. He is the one who created me, so I guess, I should have expected something like this.' Theo sighed as his expression darkened even further.

A question flashed in his mind. Why would the author choose this time? The moment Theo got the answer, he couldn't help but raise his head with a face as if telling the world that he had expected it.

"Bombardment from your left!"

"!!!" The four students were startled and hurriedly took up their arms.

There were four giant light balls flying parabolic toward their location.

"Elkiseis!" Aurora shouted while pointing at the incoming light balls. Instead of a pair of wings, there was a golden light enveloping her body before moving toward her bow. "Pierce the sky, Elkiseis!"

The moment she released her arrow, it split into four and flew straight toward the giant light balls. Aurora used the lesson she learned from the trial to shape the arrows, turning them like bullets to increase their speed drastically. However, because it was a new power, her control wasn't perfect.

Boom!

Boom!

Two explosion sounds echoed, followed by a blinding light that illuminated the sky.

"Kh." Aurora couldn't help but close her eyes due to the brightness and had a hard time recovering her vision.

"There are only two explosions! Run away!" Jayden shouted, knowing that two incoming attacks avoided the arrows. Jayden hurriedly rushed to the front and secured their escape route. Meanwhile, Theo grabbed Aurora by the waist and carried her over his shoulder.

"Incoming!" The twins shouted at the same time. The twins could see the trajectory of the incoming attacks and hurriedly raised both of their hands.

The light balls would definitely hit their sides, so the twins released their essence through their palms, forming a light blue screen that stretched to the very front. It was so wide that it made the group feel secure.

The light balls ultimately hit the ground not far from them and exploded, trying to engulf the entire group.

However, the screen stopped the explosion and directed it elsewhere. Still, the twins might have improved due to Theo's trial, but they hadn't improved enough to handle an attack of this caliber.

Due to them stretching their barrier wide to protect the whole group, the screen ended up becoming thinner. As a result, the screen started to crack when withstanding the explosion.

"!!!" Both of them panicked when the crack spread. "It's not going to hold out!"

The twins tried to warn the group, preparing to withstand the explosion as the force had broken the protection screen like glass.

Aurora couldn't move in her current position, and Jayden didn't have the ability to repel the force of the explosion.

When the explosion was about to devour them, two barriers appeared, completely containing the explosion. The barrier wasn't as big as the twins' barriers, but it was thick enough to withstand the force.

"Teacher?!" Aurora was the first to notice as he was the only one who could possibly do it.

"Don't stretch your barrier even if it makes you feel secure. Focus on making it as thick as possible by calculating the trajectory and measuring the force in that attack!" Theo shouted, giving the twins a lesson.

"Yes, Sir!" The twins replied. They didn't do a bad job. The fact that they could react that way proved that they had exceptional sense and prediction ability, but their experience didn't keep up.

"Jayden!" Theo shouted.

"!!!" Jayden instantly shifted his focus when he heard Theo's voice. Jayden turned his head slightly to the right and noticed a few shadows moving between the trees. "Enemies spotted."

Aurora tapped Theo's shoulder as if telling him to release her. As soon as she landed on the ground, she kept up with the speed while saying, "We have to break through. Since the enemies are spotted in the opposite direction, there is a high chance that we have been surrounded."

"Got it. Don't forget that the enemies are experts. We can't underestimate them." Jayden nodded with a serious expression.

Normally, Jayden wouldn't care about his opponent's strength due to his inferiority complex. But that warning couldn't help but make Aurora and the others realize that Jayden had changed slightly.

"Alright. Jayden will break the formation apart while the twins intercept all the enemies' attacks. I'll support you guys. Teacher will help us if something goes wrong." Aurora took command. Enjoy exclusive content from empire

Even Theo nodded in agreement and satisfaction. These four had truly become a group that knew their own roles. With each of them thinking of what they should do, the group would only get stronger in the future.

The only problem was whether they could face this challenge or not.

But before Theo said anything, he could feel a fluctuation of essence that his instinct considered as danger. Without hesitation, Theo leaped to the front and kicked the air, confusing the entire group.

They didn't understand Theo's action at first, but soon, a wire caught the sunlight, causing it to reveal its position.

When Theo kicked it, he used such force that multiple trees were sliced by the wire attached to them and fell down.

'What? A wire?' All of them had the same thought because if they continued straight ahead, their heads would be flying.

"The enemies are stronger than I originally thought. This is probably an elite group, matching their movements with that bombardment earlier." Theo clicked his tongue. The difficulty of this mission had gone so high that the previous mission couldn't be compared to it. He added in his heart, 'As expected, the author is increasing the difficulty because of that comment…'

"An elite group? Not a bandit or an assassin… Don't tell me… Uncle has more influence than the ones I know of?" Aurora frowned.

"We can identify them later. First, we need to escape." Theo sighed. "Things are getting dangerous. I'll take command."

"Roger." The four students replied immediately.

"Jayden will engage with the enemies, but maintain your distance. The twins will locate the enemies, and Haruka will blast their locations."

"Jayden, understood."

"I will prepare my arrows." Haruka nodded while revolving her energy.

"Teacher, if we use our wings to fly around, the trees are in the way. If we fly too high, we will be intercepted." The twins protested, unable to perform their task.

Theo formed a sword with his essence before swinging it diagonally. The thick essence in Theo's sword flew in a crescent shape, cutting all the trees in front and both sides, ultimately clearing the path for the twins.

"Go."
