The slime looked at both Theo. Normally, the clone would be using all his power in order to inflict the most damage, while the real Theo conserved his energy so that he could replenish his clone’s energy later.

That was what the slime would do if he was Theo.

However, Theo was different. Both the real body and the clone tried their best to kill the slime in front of them without caring about their energy reserve. This way, it was impossible to find the real Theo among the two.

However, what the slime didn’t know was that Theo was extremely vigilant about the slime’s ability.

After all, the slime had just dissolved the original Theo. Considering the slime could produce other humans or monsters with someone’s original power, the slime might do the same thing in order to stop Theo from getting the advantage.

If the original Theo was resummoned by the slime, the situation would be two versus three. In addition to the slime’s ability, it would be impossible for Theo to defeat them.

That was why Theo wanted the slime to be occupied with the thought of finding him instead of the original Theo.

‘So, the slime’s ability… can it reproduce someone that it’s just absorbed right away? Can it grant power to other people easily? Or can the slime use the power itself?’

Theo observed the slime for a while. But he hadn’t done anything to the original Theo’s power that he absorbed earlier.

He thought the slime would create a few more soldiers with the original Theo’s devouring power. But if he wanted it, he should have done it right away.

That was why he thought the slime was preparing something.

‘It seems that the slime won’t be using that ability for some reason. It might be because it will make him vulnerable or… it might be because it’s his trump card. Either way, I won’t get the answer without pressuring him.’

Theo took a deep breath. He seemed to have made some resolutions. It would be too hard for him to continue without putting everyone on the line. Hence, he knew that he had to take a bit of risk to kill the slime.

With that in mind, Theo finally began his move.

The one in front of the second slime suddenly raised his hands, forming a huge ball fully with Magic Power.

The slime didn’t feel anything different from this ball. So, when Theo threw it at him, the slime only formed a net to catch the ball and use the Dissolve Power to make it disappear.

But the moment it touched the net, a tremendous pressure suddenly fell on top of him, pushing the ball.

“!!!” The slime widened his eyes in shock. It turned out the ball had three layers of Magic Power. They all had different characteristics as well as elements.

Theo had seen the slime having a hard time stopping Feng Hao’s attack, so he knew that this kind of attack would be effective.

The slime couldn’t dissolve his magic ball in an instant. At the same time, when it was caught by the net, the magical ball felt like all the air inside suddenly came out, turning the big ball into that of a thick layer of Magic Power.

This layer of Magic Power became the blanket for the slime’s unique power. Then, the pressure started to increase as Theo sent forth the Ascension Step to crush the slime.𝞸𝒱𝒍xt.𝗇𝓔t

The slime used all his strength to counter the pressure. He wanted to dissolve the pressure, but the magic blanket was hindering him. That was why he had to focus on dissolving the blanket first before the pressure.

However, the slime didn’t realize that Theo’s original purpose was something different.

Now that the slime was focusing on the blanket, Theo used his Inverted World and tried to remove the slime.

“!!!” Both the second body and the main slime had realized something.

The Inverted World that Theo used was different from the previous attempts. The energy poured into it and the speed of him removing the slime was far faster than the previous attempts.

If this continued, the slime might lose ten percent of its body before he finished dissolving the blanket and the pressure.

It turned out that the Theo in front of the second body was a clone. However, even though he had identified that the opponent in front of the first slime was the real one, he couldn’t attack him yet because the second slime needed the help from the main body.

Without hesitation, the slime formed numerous spikes. They emerged from the ground and headed straight to Clone Theo.

“…” Clone Theo glanced at the spikes but chose to ignore them. He used everything he had in order to remove the slime.

When the slime was about to reach him, he suddenly disappeared.

The slime wobbled as if it was annoyed by Theo’s disappearance. However, one thing was clear.

Theo had just retracted his clone. Although that attack had given him some damage, it wasn’t as significant as revealing his identity.

Theo, on the other hand, didn’t have any change of expression. It seemed that everything was still within his plan.

In addition, Theo resummoned his clone with the help of the illusion. This illusion confused the slime once again.

‘Is he using the illusion so blatantly to let me know he is trying to hide his clone?’ The slime thought. It was true that the new Theo should be his clone. But with the blatant illusion, it made the slime think there was a possibility that the new Theo was just an illusion on the outside while being the real Theo on the inside.

That was why, even though he could believe ninety percent that the new Theo was the clone. He still couldn’t forget the remaining ten percent where the new Theo was actually the real Theo.

This was basically like flipping a coin. And Theo had a huge advantage in a mind battle like this.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Theo’s face as if everything had just gone according to his plan.
