"How is this possible?" Elijah's disbelief only increased. He was forced to retreat, and looked around himself and noticed that almost everything disappeared. Everything was carried away by the resounding power, but he knew it was not because of him, but because of Theo's strange attack, which distorted everything around him and caused mass destruction. If he hadn't eaten a life-saving pill that made him stronger, Elijah was sure he would be dead.
The old woman still hadn't moved. She had continued to look at the fight between Theo and Elijah and her interest only increased. The woman, who looked like an old lady, shook her head gently and her rainbow-dense, lash-like eyelashes fluttered slightly. She looked particularly adorable, even though she also looked 70 years old.
"Oho... It surprises me that you are still alive." Theo was being sincere. He knew the size of the power behind the attack he gave, so he knew it would not be easy to survive. However, he had a good view of Elijah eating something that made him stronger.
"Good, good!" The hateful expression in Elijah's eyes faded. He smiled strangely, but the curve of his lips faltered. "I just wanted to test you. Don't take me too seriously. How about this, why don't we end this as a draw, and we all win and nobody loses?"
"Hahaha! Are you taking me for a fool?" The smile on Theo's face disappeared and an expression full of contempt formed on his lips. "You tried to kill me and you couldn't. Now that you've seen that I could kill you, you think about backing down and ending things as a draw? How silly do you think I am?"
"Yes, I admit it," said Elijah without the least sense of shame, "but you need to know when to back off. Even though I'm outclassed now, I still have more Mana than you. And yes, I could end up dead if we continue, but if I survive, you are the one who will die."
"You know... You are right and wrong at the same time," Theo said calmly, "Although it is a fact that you have more Mana than me, nothing in life is absolute, and I am not willing to let an enemy of mine live, much less one that is as powerful as you are."
When he saw Theo fly in his direction and that he was not wanting to back down, Elijah cursed in his mind and attacked as well. But this time, he pulled out a golden spear from his storage ring and aimed it at Theo as he prepared to attack.
With his sword, Theo deflected the spear that was going straight at him with the power of the sun using the sword in his hand. He just needed to attack the spear blade at the right moment with great force, causing Elijah to turn a little to the side, unable to keep the balance straight. Taking advantage of this chance, Theo attacked with the sword, and a trail of golden light shone and the power of thunder came along, weighing thousands of tons, only the pressure of the attack was heavier than a mountain.
Elijah used all his strength to retreat with the spear and looked at Theo in amazement. He was abnormal... very abnormal and incredibly talented. 'Where did this genius come from?'
This time it was Elijah's turn to defend himself. Theo, with his sword, attacked from several different angles, trying to find a flaw to exploit. Elijah was sweating a lot. He felt that if he were just a little careless he would be cut by Theo's sword. Furthermore, he already recognized the power of Theo's sword and knew it was something that could easily kill him if he was not careful.
The exchange of blows continued for more than an hour, neither of them wanted to give in, but Elijah was celebrating in his mind. He saw that Theo's attacks were becoming slower and weaker.
But suddenly, Theo retreated and seconds later he attacked again with the same ferocity and speed as before... No, he was even faster and stronger!
'What the hell is going on here?' Elijah was once again stunned. He didn't know how Theo could recover and come back even stronger.
The shock waves of the spear and sword went in all directions. If one were to look right at the ground, it would have looked like a meat cutting board, full of deep marks, and the general scenario was a disorder: cut trees, shattered stones, animals that hadn't managed to escape, bled to death, some lost body parts while others were killed immediately. There were also places with water because the cut was so deep that it hit a hot spring.
The worst was because of Elijah's flames; everything was on fire, and it was spreading at incredible speed. If this continued, it was possible that everything would be turned to gray.
The fight continued until Theo retreated again. Elijah thought of striking and no matter what Theo might do to recover, he was determined to stop it. However, what Theo did was to put away his sword and bring out a majestic trident with details of a golden dragon. The trident was almost 200 cm long and the tip glowed silver and because of his affinity with lightning the trident looked very powerful.
Now the fight had turned into a long arms battle. Theo was not proficient in handling a trident, however, he spent a lot of time fighting against Elijah and realized that they were not very different from each other, just a few things differed. Theo started to transform into Elijah's mirror. Everything he did, Theo copied. He wanted to learn while he was fighting, and he was doing it, which was making Elijah terrified.
'It took me years to perfect my spear mastery. How the hell is he doing this?' Elijah's panic only deepened. He began to believe that Theo was using him as a simple training character and was not treating him as an enemy.
Another thing Elijah realized after spending another hour - Theo instead of weakening, actually went up to the 6th Layer of the Monarch Spiritual Realm. It was unimaginable. 'How is he managing to do something like this and not have it affect his performance?'
Normally when someone went up in cultivation, it was necessary to stabilize, and they would also be in a slightly more vulnerable state. However, this was not happening with Theo; it was as if he was getting stronger, however, he already had everything under his control.
Before Elijah knew it, Theo turned into a copy of him holding a trident, but instead of sparking flames, it was lightning, and the attacks seemed even stronger than his. If he neglected himself, Elijah was sure he would be dead.
Going crazy, Elijah screamed and started shaking his spear to attack without worrying about his well-being. As he tried to attack, he realized that if he did not bring back the arm that held the spear, it would be severed, so he swallowed his anger and forced himself to retreat once more.
'Monstrous genius!' It was the only thing Elijah could think of to describe Theo.
Despair. He felt desperate. Elijah was suddenly overcome with the fear of dying.
"You're finished." Before Elijah could react, two Theo appeared, one in front and one in the back. The two each held a trident and attacked at the speed of light as they / as they both went for Elijah's neck and that was when the sound of flesh was torn, together with a metallic sound that echoed.
Elijah couldn't believe it. He didn't want to accept it. Blood dripped from his mouth and nose, even from his eyes as he tried to understand how there were two of Theo. However, his eyes rolled to the back of his skull and went white and that was when he lost his life.
Theo on the other hand was satisfied. Although he was unable to test his body, which was now immune to poison, he had managed to kill two cultivators in the Peak of the Venerable Realm.
The old woman watching the fight took one last look at Theo before letting out a charming laugh and disappeared.
Theo didn't even bother to try to stop this woman because he knew there was no chance that he would be able to catch her... After all, she was Helena, the butterfly woman he had seen before and who was a cultivator at the Saint Realm.
Keeping Elijah's body in his storage ring, Theo entered the [Dimensional Room] and met with his family members who looked at him with their eyes filled with concern.
