Meanwhile, Theo, who had received the support fire from Maya, smirked while wielding his weapon.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

The two bullets that hit the roots bent the tip. Although it wasn’t enough to crush it, Theo was satisfied with the fact they could provide some actual help.

Maya had told him she had provided enough bullets for a few hours. So, he expected more after a while.

The monster was big and he was small. Even though he was risking his life here, the enemies would be most likely to get hit by the bullets.

A few bullets might not have any effect, but it would be a different case if he rained them down with lots of bullets.

‘Still, the tree has a good defense unlike the Frost Saint. Maybe I should have asked Maya to improve its power even more…’ Theo thought while flying toward the tree.

The World Tree was startled by the sudden attacks, but Theo was still the most dangerous threat to him.

So, it only hesitated to move the roots for two seconds before the roots came out again, stopping Theo.

Theo smiled as he sensed the bullets coming. But because of the bullet’s speed, he only had two seconds to react to the bullet.

Theo used his World Re-Creation to expand the reality so that the bullet would come his way.

*Boom!*

The bullet hit the roots. Without hesitation, Theo applied his illusion to the root. On the side hit by the bullet, a huge crack appeared after that blast. On the other side, Theo left a huge sword mark.

The World Tree immediately utilized its skill again to neutralize the illusion, but surprisingly, a crater remained on the root.

“!!!” The World Tree sensed that crack, surprised by how Theo could injure him.

Theo smirked, knowing his strategy had worked.

‘The World Tree might have the skill to neutralize my illusion, but this time, I’m applying a real attack on top of my illusion. It won’t be that easy for you to neutralize the illusion since not only has my illusion changed into reality thanks to my Authority, but the bullet also comes directly from reality.’

Knowing the situation had worked in his favor, Theo didn’t hesitate to twist the reality again, trying to grab more bullets to destroy the roots.

‘You might have Fire Element and Explosive Skills, but it won’t work if the explosion comes from outside your body, right?’ Theo thought.

As if sensing Theo’s intention, the branches began to spread, preventing Theo from attacking.

But the moment the tree panicked, this was when Theo began his counterattack.

He waved his right hand, expanding the reality to push the roots to the side before making his way toward the branches.

The roots might be sturdy, but the branches were frail. Hence, Theo didn’t hesitate to cut the branches with his illusions.

And as expected, some of the branches fell to the ground. Sadly, the branch number far surpassed the roots, so it would take a long time before he could cut down all of them.

Before he continued, he received a report from Isaac. “There are a total of ten roots spreading in all directions. Be careful about the fruits as well since it contains a huge amount of Magic Power. Its explosion won’t be small.

“According to Eleanor, there aren’t any more plants coming. Their numbers are only about two thousand, but all of them are elites. Jeff also reported that there is only one path for them to retreat, and it is the direction where they come from.”

“Got it.” Theo nodded. The report made everything easier for him. Since all the enemies had arrived, Theo informed one more person. “Everyone has arrived. Make sure to watch the battlefield.”

There was no response, but Theo knew the message had been delivered.

He could finally focus on this battle.

Theo flew toward the branches and formed a huge boulder on top of him, pushing it toward the tree.

The World Tree instantly spread its branches to form a net to catch it.

But this was the time Theo stepped on the ground, releasing all the air to push the boulder.

Ascension Step, Tenth Step.

*Bam!*

Some of the branches snapped immediately, some cracked, and some were still holding on. But with this kind of situation, the World Tree had to add more branches to avoid the boulder hitting its body

Theo thought he would be able to destroy more branches, but the World Tree seemed to be able to predict his movements. Instead of branches, the World Tree actually used some of the roots from the opposite direction to lift the boulder.

Before the World Tree managed to grasp the boulder, Theo used his second big law, the Reverse World, to change the boulder’s characteristics. The solid rock turned soft, and the pressure from the Ascension Step crushed it so that the tree couldn’t grab it and throw it to his people.

‘Although I couldn’t use my Third Law, I could still use the second law to change its characteristics.’

After that, Theo applied the second law to the roots that tried to grab the boulder. He altered their hardness and made them as soft as possible.

“!!!” The World Tree felt the effect and hurriedly used his ability but to no avail.

Theo’s Authority was superior to his ability. Even if he could turn it back, it would take some time.

And before that happened, Theo had appeared next to the roots and waved his hand, releasing a sword strike.

*Bam!*

One of the roots was cut down and fell to the ground.

“!!!” The World Tree didn’t expect that one of his roots would fall like this, but this also showed Theo’s strength.

After fighting multiple World Class Monsters, Theo had gotten enough experience and strength to fight them on equal ground. There was no need for more tricks.

“Come!” Theo smirked and pointed his sword at the tree. “Since you dare to come here, don’t expect you can leave here alive. This shall be the place where you’re buried!”
