When the two Magic Power clashed, it felt like there were two giant meteors hitting each other. The one from the Magic Saint was releasing a powerful brute force, while the one from Theo looked refined.
However, Theo still had close to one thousand more points in Magic Power than Mason. That gap was enough to make up for the raw brute force the Authority provided.
Theo's Magic Power crushed Mason's and continued its way toward Mason himself.
Mason never expected that he would lose in terms of Magic Power. He was the Magic Saint. That title came from his Control Ability which was recognized as the number one in the world and the amount of Magic Power he had.
Yet, Theo managed to suppress him with only his Magic Power. He hadn't even used his Authority.
Theo looked at Mason and said with a cold tone. "Did you not do anything when you were away? Your power… couldn't be compared to the Devouring Saint…"
The veins on his forehead bulged. The killing intent started to leak out of Mason's eyes. It seemed that he had a hard time keeping his calm.
After all, Theo dared to lecture him even though he was just someone he could crush not long ago.
He still remembered how Theo would have died if he didn't get help from Hel.
"You are too arrogant." The Magic Saint roared while flying toward him. He spread his arms as the two fists started expanding the Magic Power around them, turning them into a balloon.
There was a violent current inside these two balloons. If he got swallowed by one of them, his body would be torn into pieces.
Theo only took a glance at them before showing his disinterest. He seemed to find nothing special in this ability.
Even the Third Layers Magic Power was far more fascinating than this attack.
As soon as Theo entered his range, the Magic Saint closed his arms, surrounding Theo with these two balloons.
The Magic Saint's Control might be better than Theo's. But Theo had the talent for learning. And he had been training his control this whole time. So, the gaps between them weren't as far as most people thought.
For these two balloons of violent Magic Power, Theo chose to summon his Death Avatar and poured the Magic Power into the avatar's hands.
The avatar then punched to both sides with the Thunderclap Fist.
*Bang!*
The thunderclap shook the battlefield once again and hit the two balloons. This was similar to the shock wave he shot earlier but a bit weaker since his aim was only to pop the balloons.
The two balloons were fighting well. Unfortunately, the amount of Magic Power he poured into the Thunderclap Fist was enough to destroy both balloons.
*Bam!*
The pop caused a heaven-shattering roar that overwhelmed all the sounds on the battlefield.
However, there was one more secret behind these balloons.
'As expected, such an arrogant brat. Let me humble you.' The Magic Saint smirked.
Theo glanced to the sides. It turned out there was a second layer inside the balloons.
This layer was protecting the real attack, which turned out to be a sharp and powerful Magic Power.
This raging Magic Power immediately flew straight at him. If it was someone else, they would have been shredded apart.
However, Theo never underestimated the Magic Saint or became complacent. All the things he spoke before were simply facts.
Right before the violent Magic Power hit him, they suddenly got engulfed by a black ball.
"!!!" The Magic Saint widened his eyes and raised his vision a little bit.
On top of Theo, the Death Avatar stood while creating a giant black ball from each hand.
This black ball swallowed everything and eventually, the Magic Power was completely gone.
"Hah?" The Magic Saint widened his eyes. His shock didn't come from the fact Theo managed to stop his attack. Instead, the shock came from where the ability originated.
"Isn't that… the devouring power?" The Magic Saint gasped.
That was right. The black balls didn't look like the black hole that the original Theo used, but they functioned the same.
The black balls completely swallowed the shock wave to the point it felt like they never existed to begin with.
"How…" The Magic Saint thought this power was exclusive to the Original Theo. But it seemed he had been mistaken.
He couldn't help but recall the information about him, especially the fight that happened in the union.
When fighting the mutated monsters, Theo showed his copy ability, which allowed him to borrow the Saints' powers for a moment.
However, he didn't expect that Theo would copy his devouring power. What Mason didn't know was that the copy ability was still limited by Theo's own power. He simply imitated the black hole by replicating the Dark Magic Power to create the black balls and the Reality Removal to make it look like the Magic Power vanished.
He never had the devouring power.
Still, this was enough to startle the Magic Saint. As much as Theo wanted this fight to last longer so that he could see everything from Mason, he couldn't delay his job since the slime was waiting for him.
For the first time in this battle, Theo finally made the first move by taking a step forward.
He used the boost from the Telekinesis to launch himself toward the Magic Saint.
"!!!" The Magic Saint also could feel his intention. It seemed that he had stopped playing around and wanted to kill him seriously.
Without hesitation, the Magic Saint raised his stance and started circulating his Magic Power.
Theo formed his sword with the Irregular Guardian and activated his Alter Ego, enhancing his Magic Power.
The surge of Magic Power startled even the Magic Saint because this was the first time he saw this amount of Magic Power in a single person. Even the World Class Monster couldn't hold a candle to him.
'But if the amount of Magic Power is everything there is to a fight, there's no need for humans to learn Control.' The Magic Saint took a deep breath as his hands began moving like a wave in the ocean. This time, he was using a refined Magic Power to fight the raw brute force Theo had.
"Come."
