Chapter 632 - Nella's Purpose
Chapter 632 – Nella’s Purpose
"Kill him," Theo shouted as he commanded the other four.
Seeing the opportunity, they didn't hesitate and launched an all-out attack.
"Great Magic Shock."
"Ice Field."
"Twin Sword Strike."
"Sword Light."
Boom.
Boom.
A series of explosions occurred as the giant took all the attacks with his body.
Suddenly, a crack appeared on the giant's body after Nella's attack.
"!!!" All of them looked at the crack, and they knew Nella's attack finally went through. Everyone had the same thought at this point. 'Hit that place!'
The group charged forward as Nella prepared to hit it one more time.
However, the giant suddenly spoke. "Since I'm going to die, I will be dragging all of you with me."
"!!!"
Suddenly, twenty tentacles burst out of the crack and struck everyone in the area.
Since she was the closest, the tentacles managed to hit her on the stomach and face, blowing her away.
The rest had the time to react.
Lorenzo tore the space open to block the tentacles but still needed to deflect several tentacles. Alea deflected all the tentacles with ease due to her eyes that captured the tentacles' every movement.
Ana formed an ice wall while freezing the tentacles, stopping them from coming, while Theo used his Blink to disappear from the battlefield.
His figure reappeared behind Nella as he caught her to avoid getting blown farther away. It would be extremely dangerous if she got surrounded while struggling to get up after all.
"Theo?" Nella gritted her teeth as she coughed up blood. "Kh…"
"Are you okay?"
"Yes. I poured all my Magic Power to protect my body so that my bones won't break. Still, I don't think I can continue fighting." Nella gasped for air.
Theo raised his head and sighed, "I don't think you need to do that."
The three who blocked the tentacles had moved to cut down the tentacles. Along with the fact his skin was torn and blood flowed out from that spot, he believed the monster would die soon.
"There's another reason for me coming here." Nella suddenly said as she was lying down in Theo's embrace.
"Poison Fruit?"
"No. I believe my memory has been altered, but it doesn't seem to be that bad according to your parents. They have contained the Mind Elder's power for the time being, so I won't lose my mind easily.
"Hence, I come to you to tell you this. If that power controls my body, please don't hesitate to kill me." Nella smiled. "I want to tell you that. After all, I can see that my memory and feeling toward you have become too strong that it's unbearable. I'm afraid I won't be the same me anymore."
"You…" Theo frowned. "You came all the way here just for this?"
"Yes. The elder still believes I am in their control and those five are here to watch whether it's true or not. That's why I want you to play along with me." She glanced at the Griffith Family Members and noticed they were still trying their best to kill the monsters that had been buried under the avalanche. They hadn't paid any attention to her.
"Why are you even doing all this for me?"
She smirked playfully and said, "I will only answer that question after you agree to be my husband."
"…" Theo sighed and raised his head, staring at the monster that soon died under Ana's hand.
"Anyway, there are two factions inside the Griffith Family. Your father's faction and the elder faction. The elders have been trying to control your father because of his talent and start working to control you after getting to know your talent.
"Hence, your father also brought a mercenary into the mix and created a very complex situation. At the very least, you don't need to worry about any attempts from the Griffith Family for the time being.
"I will be able to break free from this mind control after reaching the Supreme Rank, so I will become a double-agent to help your father defeat the elders which are controlled by the former head of the Griffith Family. He's a dangerous man at the same level as Sir Leonardo and he's also your grandfather.
"I will defeat the elders and take over the family. This way, you don't need to worry about the family in the future. Even if you don't accept me, just visit me from time to time and have a meal together as a family. That's the only thing I desire." She smiled.
"You…" Theo was speechless, not knowing why Nella did all this for him. This was the same as her doing the hardest work without getting any pay. Even if he asked for a reason, her answer would remain the same. He looked down and said, "Thanks. If you face a big problem, just visit me. I will do free consulting. Though, that's just because I want to fuck the Griffith Family up."
"Haha, that's certainly interesting." Nella chuckled.
Theo smiled. As expected, when the Griffith Family was involved, he couldn't believe everything he heard, including Nella's words. Even then, it didn't stop him from helping Nella as long as he deemed it could mess them up. That was why he didn't mind cooperating with Nella.
Suddenly, Theo thought of something as he ignored the other three who walked toward them after defeating the giant. He said to Nella, "Actually, I have something I would like you to help."
"What's that?"
"Do you want to have a date with me as soon as we go back?" Theo smirked.
"Huh?" This time, the sound came from Lorenzo, Ana, and Alea.
"Theo! How about Sister-in-law?" Lorenzo was shaken as he pointed at Agata. "Are you cheating on her?"
"What Sister-in-law? How about your girlfriend here?" Ana pointed at Alea as if demanding justice. "She came all the way here just to help you, you know."
An evil smile appeared on Nella's face as she hugged Theo as tight as possible while saying with a seductive tone. "That's right. We're going to have a date after this is over."
Because of the commotion Lorenzo and Ana created, the Griffith Family Members finally looked checked on Nella again, confirming that Nella and Theo might already have become a thing, unaware of their conversation.
