After finishing their lunch and resting for some time, Phyrill led them to another place not far from their location.

It was a giant savannah filled with monsters.

Phyrill didn't give them a chance to feel the breeze as he led them straight to a herd of mice.

"I haven't heard of mice living in a savannah.

" Ellen made a casual remark with a joking tone.

"Ellen woman, don't say something like that in a dangerous place like this…

" Phyrill complained before pointing his hand to a hundred monsters.

"What we need to discuss is how to handle them… There are at least a hundred mice after all.

"

Ellen stroked her cheeks gently and said,

"Well, Sihan and Laust don't talk too much and Theo only opens his mouth when something important needs to be addressed, making the atmosphere always tense.

"

Phyrill sighed and asked,

"What do you want then?

"

"I just want to grab your attention. Anyway, you see the third leg in the front?

"Ellen's expression turned serious as she explained,

"I feel it's stronger than the two other legs and due to the heat in this savanna, I think I can do something about their legs.

"

"Hmm…

" Theo frowned and came to a realization.

"Your Mist?

"

Ellen winked and gave a thumbs up.

"Then, the plan is like this…

" Theo gave them the battle plan and rose from the ground with Sihan.

"Let's go.

"

Sihan nodded and charged toward them.

Due to the size of the herd, not all of them saw him, so Theo jumped into the air and summoned his Magic Bullet, shooting them to the ground.

"Cie?

"

"Cie?

"

The mice began turning around and saw Theo and Sihan on the field.

Before Theo and Sihan did anything, a translucent shield appeared in front of each mouse, protecting anything that would hit them from the front.

"Ho.

" Sihan was amused and saw these mice creating a pointed formation with only three mice in the front. In addition to the shield, they wouldn't be able to kill them that easily.

Theo had seen it before in the grass field and watched how the monsters kept using one skill after another. That was why he asked the group to rest for a while. They were all exhausted.

"They are using a shield-type skill like your Elemental Shield. I'm assuming it's an E Rank skill. Any change of plan?

" Sihan asked with a cool expression.

"No,

" Theo answered almost immediately as the two began to retreat, luring them a bit farther away.

"Roger.

"

Theo also gave a hand signal to the others, so they could start moving.

Seeing Ellen rise from the ground and summon a giant Ice Boulder, Theo and Sihan turned to the left.

The mice followed them, but this meant their back would face Ellen.

And this was why Theo's movement was straightforward in the past, the mice simply didn't have a brain to think of the possibility of ambush.

Everything would go according to his plan in the past because he understood their instinct.

And with this, everything had been set up.

"Ice Meteor.

"

A huge shadow covered the herd as the mice turned around to see what happened, albeit they were too late. The Ice Meteor crashed on top of them and flattened them in an instant.

Something might change if Ellen attacked them from the front like blocking with the shields or going sideways, but the mice didn't know the concept of ambush. As long as Theo targeted their blindspot, it would be pretty easy to exterminate them.

Alea, Laust, and Phyrill jumped forward, planning to hunt those who didn't get killed by the meteor.

"Lightning Flash.

" Phyrill struck the mice only to find himself stopped by the shield.

"Kh. Without getting any advantage, I guess it won't be that easy to kill them. Well, it's not like we had an advantage in that grass field…

"

Just like Phyrill, Laust waved his sword and released three pointed energy. Unfortunately, all three were blocked by the shields.

Only Alea's swing managed to cut through the mouse's shield and sliced them.

Meanwhile, Theo and Sihan continued running while looking at the mice between them.

"Twenty mice have died in the first ambush. Let's go for step two.

" Theo informed Sihan as the latter nodded.

They went separate ways and led those who chased them. Sihan brought thirty and Theo brought twenty. The remaining twenty were for Alea, Phyrill and Laust to handle.

Ellen reached the spot designated by Theo as he looped around to meet her.

"Frosty Misty.

" Ellen summoned the freezing mist.

Theo released a bit more magic power from his body and entered the mist.

As soon as he entered the mist, his skin dried in an instant as if all the water on his hand vanished. If it were not for his Magic Power, he might feel the hot sensation as if touching dry ice. The mice followed him and slowed down before coming to a halt because of the extreme temperature, giving Theo a huge opportunity to pull ahead.

He looked forward, finding Sihan bringing all thirty mice toward him. Ellen had also made her way to him, so he could start.

Theo jumped to the air and summoned his Magic Bullet. Instead of one, he used his Illusion Multiplier skill and cloned his own Magic Bullet to four Magic Bullets. Although it wouldn't do any damage, it was enough for him to make the mice they would be in danger.

Theo split all four Magic Bullets into forty glowing balls.

"Magic Bullet.

"

He shot each side with twenty magic bullets, specifically the edge of a fan-shaped area, forcing the mice to gather in the middle and create one straight line.

Ellen smiled and placed her hand on the ground before Sihan jumped to the side. With all the monsters in one direction, Ellen used one skill to kill them all.

"Ice Wave.

"

Ice crystals emerged from the ground. The mice might be able to protect them from any attacks head-on, but they, by no means, were capable of defending an attack from below.

Bam.
