Chapter 1021 Artificial?
While he was fighting against six monsters, the latter suddenly turned around, looking at the distance.Even Theo followed their line of sight, finding a cloud of dust coming toward them.
”Huh?” There was supposed to be no trouble in this place, considering he had scouted the area before fighting against these monsters.
Even if they called for help, the reinforcement would come from a different direction. Hence, it was clear that they came here because of another disruption.
”It’s artificial…” Theo muttered while pondering his choice. “From the direction alone, it’s clear that the monsters come from the deeper region… No, I was supposed to go there to reach the deepest region where the troll lives.”
”!!!” Suddenly, Theo came to a realization and turned around, preparing to leave. “They are chasing humans, which most likely are the people from the Star Group.
There was a dilemma in his heart. On one hand, he needed to help them as a person from the Star Group. On the other hand, he wasn’t in the condition to help them, especially since he planned to fight against the troll soon.
Unfortunately, his thought was cut short as the monsters surrounded him, preventing him from running away. With the help of their people, they should be able to kill Theo.
Theo just used his Blink, so it was impossible for him to escape for the time being. And the time he took to wait for the Blink Skill was enough for the cloud of dust coming to him.
”Help!” A female’s voice resounded across the savanna as though she had found Theo.
”Tsk.” Theo clicked his tongue and glanced at them, finding six people, which was normal for a group. But more importantly, the number of the monsters that chased after them was more than fifty. It was impossible for Theo to take on these many Supreme Rank Monsters.
”It’s Joker!”
”Joker!”
”Please help us!”
They started shouting when they confirmed the guy was none other than the current strongest Supreme Rank Expert, Joker.
Unfortunately for them, Theo used his Blink to send himself away.
”What?!”
”He’s running away?”
”You’re the strongest Supreme Rank Expert in the US.”
”Why are you running?”
”Please help us.”
”Don’t be shameless. Are you a man?”
They shouted in anger when Theo didn’t answer their plea to help. Even Theo couldn’t understand their thought, considering a help like this could be turned down depending on the situation.
There was no way Theo wanted to fight those monsters. In fact, there was a chance they would be leaving him behind the moment he helped them.
This was different than the previous time when the staff from the Star Group was directly involved in the rescue.
Still, due to the distance of the Blink Skill, Theo couldn’t go too far. They spotted Theo’s figure not far in the distance and immediately pointed their hand.
”There he is.”
”Chase him.”
”We can involve him as long as we catch up to him.”
Theo couldn’t hear what they were saying, but he might directly kill them instead of helping them if he heard it. They were simply too shameless.
’Seeing there’s someone with light clothes… I’m pretty sure he’s a scout of the team. What kind of team will bring these many monsters with a scout like that?’ Theo shook his head, disappointed.
He kept running on the savanna, wondering where he should go to shake them off.
”I don’t want to die.”
”No.”
”Please help me.”
Their group started to fall into despair because Theo kept showing his back to them, not planning to give any sort of help.
They continued running in Theo’s direction at their fastest speed but had no chance to catch up. This would gradually break their spirit.
’I should be able to leave them in the dust pretty soon.’ Theo thought while glancing to the back.
But Magic Power fluctuated from the ground as the soil crumbled and turned into a sinkhole, swallowing Theo.
”What?!” Theo was shocked by the sudden appearance of the sinkhole, knowing that it wasn’t a normal sinkhole. “What is happening?”
He couldn’t see the bottom, so he concluded the sinkhole was pretty deep. Instead of going down, Theo used his Telekinesis to fly up, leaving this hole.
Yet, before he could even reach the surface, the ground started shaking before two creatures emerged from the walls.
The creatures were small like a pot. They had six long tentacles that could wrap their prey completely.
These two creatures came out from the opposite directions and spread their tentacles to surround Theo.
He had so many thoughts in his mind, but this wasn’t the time to contemplate. So, Theo waved his blade and struck the tentacles on his front, trying to cut them with the help of Magic Augmentation and Magic Power Expansion.
But the moment he hit the tentacle, a clicking sound echoed in his ears as if he had just struck a metal.
”What?!” Theo widened his eyes and used his Telekinesis to roll in the air, hitting all the tentacles. Yet, the result was the same.
The tentacles were too hard to cut, and because of these two tries, Theo thought it would be impossible for him to break out.
He also couldn’t fly away. Instead, the tentacles would most likely drag him to the bottom of the hole.
Theo clicked his tongue and punched to the side, trying to knock the pot away. The shock wave from the Thunderclap Fist pushed the pot slightly, but it simply hit the wall and bounced back.
The cage didn’t get disturbed at all.
While being dragged, he could finally use the Blink Skill again. Without hesitation, Theo used the skill to send him back to the surface.
But because he was dragged pretty long, he still needed to cover the last fifty feet with his Telekinesis.
As if reading what he could do, the ground began to reconstruct itself, trying to close the entrance.
Without hesitation, Theo used his Death Avatar and struck the exit with that giant hand and the help of the Thunderclap Fist.
Bam.
The ground burst into the air as Theo emerged from the hole.
When he turned around and saw the horror on those six people’s faces, he understood what was going on.
”It’s a trap.”
