"Go!"

Bam!

Bam!

Bam!

Numerous trees fell to the ground, creating a drumming sound that shook the entire forest. The twins took this opportunity to fly three meters above the ground to get a good grasp of the enemies.

"Three on my side."

"Two on our left."

"Two at the front."

The twins reported without hesitation, looking at the enemies who reacted too late to hide themselves. They looked a bit frustrated as if Theo had just ruined their plan.

"Got it." Theo acknowledged the information. Before he gave the next command, Theo asked, "I'm going to confirm this. Spirit users are pretty rare in your world, right?"

"It's one every one hundred people," Aurora answered.

"That's enough information for you to confirm our enemies."

Their conversation was interrupted by Luca's voice. "Incoming!"

Aurora turned her head around and saw a spear flying toward them.

"Thicker, denser…" Luca took a deep breath, remembering Theo's earlier lesson. A protective screen appeared before her. This time, it was only the size of a head but as thick as an arm.

Luca predicted the trajectory of the spear and placed the screen on its path. The moment the spear hit the barrier, it released a tremendous amount of essence, pushing Luca back.

"Kuh…" Luca tried to hold it, but the spear was simply too strong, and cracks began to appear on her screen.

Cling!

"Luca!" Aurora tried to aim for that spear, but another protective barrier appeared right behind her barrier and blocked the spear. Since the latter had used most of its essence to break the first barrier, the spear ended up falling to the ground with only scratching the surface of the second barrier.

"Lucas!" Luca smiled, knowing that they would always help each other.

Theo, on the other hand, pointed to Lucas' direction, prompting Aurora to shoot in that direction. When she checked it, it turned out the three kidnappers had moved toward them. Instead of using this arrow to release a huge explosion, Aurora changed her plan and aimed above her head.

The moment the bow was released, the golden light shone brightly, dividing a single arrow into numerous lights that curved parabolically and rained down on the three kidnappers.

"!!!" As expected from elites, they noticed Aurora's arrow and stepped away at the same time, avoiding the raining arrows.

Meanwhile, it was the opposite side's turn to close in. Both of them closed in together, so Theo couldn't help but move forward, slashing one of them with a sword he made earlier.

The kidnapper raised a blade to stop Theo's sword for a second while the other was ready to loop around and target the kid.

"If you think you can stop it, then do it!" Theo smiled with confidence as he struck the kidnapper's blade. A clicking sound echoed, and their blades were stuck to each other for a second, making them think they had stopped Theo's attack.

However, Theo's eyes changed as cracks began to form on the kidnapper's blade, causing the kidnapper to panic.

Theo didn't give him time to react as his sword cut the metal blade along with the kidnapper's body.

"Ghhh!" The kidnapper was stunned as he couldn't believe that it was impossible to even last one round against Theo. But surprisingly, a sharp pain jolted his brain, not from where Theo sliced him, but from his right foot.

"!!!"

That sharp pain made him realize that he was still alive. In that instant, the illusion broke apart, showing everyone that their blades still clashed.

Theo looked down, noticing something was wrong since his illusion didn't work. It turned out he saw a needle planted on the guy's ankle. 'They have studied my power, huh? It's not perfect, but it somehow negates my power.'

In that instant, Theo realized that the situation would be much more troublesome than he originally thought. Not only were they elites, but they also knew about the illusion of power.

Still, the guy was motionless to recover from his shock. Theo immediately spun his body, causing the other party to instinctively raise his blade again. Since he couldn't kill this person in an instant, Theo decided to kick him in the stomach instead, blowing him as far as possible.

After that, he reshaped the blade and turned it into a javelin before tossing it to the other kidnapper, causing the other party to stop and retreat to avoid a certain death.

Seeing the two sides failed to flank the group, the ones in the front released their power as if announcing their presence to Jayden.

"NO! Threads!" Luca screamed, warning Jayden, who was about to go forth to open the path for the group.

"!!!" Jayden abruptly stopped and scanned the area for a moment, finally noticing the light reflected by the wires. He remembered how Theo knocked down the wire and decided to do the same thing.

"Strength Demon." Jayden muttered as a pair of boxing gloves appeared around his hands. "Three times the strength!"

Suddenly, the muscles on Jayden's arms bulged as the essence began revolving crazily around the enhanced parts.

But before he was able to hit the wires, a loud bang echoed from the side as a tree flew toward the threads.

Jayden was startled, but it was clear who did it. After all, the moment the tree touched the wire, it held for a second before getting cut like cheese.

'It's a different type of wire? Don't tell me, the first one is the durable one while the second attempt goes with the sharp wires?' Jayden recognized his mistakes and stepped on the trunk that hadn't fallen down yet before using it to launch himself into the air.

He corrected his order, "Five times!"

When the energy flared up once again, Jayden fell to the ground and struck the soil. Surprisingly, it didn't break the ground apart upon impact. Instead, the essence entered the soil and spread in all directions before causing a burst of essence that caused the ground to crumble. Read exclusive adventures at empire

The trees where the wires were attached ended up falling to the ground, and the two kidnappers in the front had an unstable posture after losing their foothold.

Jayden looked at both of them and noticed one of them didn't have a weapon in his hand. Without hesitation, he leaped toward this person, trying to take him down.

As expected, the guy had anticipated Jayden's movement and suddenly spread his hands. Between his fingers were a few wires, the same wires that he used earlier to cut things.

Jayden would definitely get cut if he tried to punch through this wire. Even if he had to bear the momentum and force contained in that punch, Jayden's condition would be much worse than his.

He couldn't help but think, 'What a rash young man.'

To his surprise, Jayden opened his palm and actually grabbed the wire instead of punching it.

'Wha—!' The guy was shocked, but it was too late. He had been caught in Jayden's fake.

The latter turned around and used that momentum to toss the guy into the sky.

'I don't want to admit it, but I have changed… No, I have been taught to grow independent and learn from my mistakes…' Jayden glared at the guy, showing that he wouldn't fall for the same trick twice before taking a glance at Theo. '…by that person.'

'Not bad, but…' After recovering from the initial shock, the guy waved both hands, sending forth multiple wires. He attached those wires to the trees, allowing him to stop his momentum and return back to the battlefield. He was trying to tell Jayden that it wouldn't be that easy to force him out of the battle.

Unfortunately for him, a crescent-shaped sword strike flew upward, cutting all the wires.

'What? My instinct would pick up the danger if he aimed that slash toward me. Because of that, he directs it toward my wires so that the momentum will launch me far away from the battle?' The guy was amused by Theo's timely reaction. Even in the midst of the chaos, he kept an eye on his students while stopping some of them.

However, that wasn't all. A huge fluctuation of energy shook the area as the ground began to tremble. A huge clown emerged and waved both hands as if it was going to kill a mosquito.

Since the wire user was in mid-air, it would be impossible for him to escape from this. But this was the time the enemies showed their high-level cooperation again. Multiple giant light balls flew into the air. It was the bombardment they used earlier.

They were planning to blast this huge clown to save their comrades.

The clown noticed the danger and decided to stop its movement. Instead, it turned around and summoned a few bowling pins. The clown started juggling the pins to intercept the incoming bombardment.

This was the time a cube flew into the air. The wire user actually noticed the cube and stepped on it, allowing him to stop his momentum. After that, he attached the wires to the clown's hands and pulled them, stopping the juggling.

"You won't be able to do it." The guy looked so excited that he forgot that he uttered those words out loud.

The clown didn't seem to have any movement as if it had given up. But because he was behind the clown, he couldn't see another pin appearing in front of the clown's right foot.

With a single kick, it launched the pin upward and knocked the other pins, causing all those pins to line up with the incoming bombardment.

'What? His foot?' The wire user dropped his jaw as all the lights hit the bowling pins before exploding. Not a single one of them actually went through.

Despite having the numerical advantage and even additional support, they were still unable to land a single hit on Theo's group. And all of it was due to that teacher. If they thought illusions were all there was to it, they would definitely suffer.
