Chapter 439 - Three Birds With One Stone
The bandage missed him as Theo started to look around, finding thirty mummies coming to the battlefield.
He glanced to the side and saw half of the wolves were caught by those bandages. Before they could even escape, they saw the bandage started burning.
"!!!" Theo furrowed his eyebrows and shot his Magic Bullets, destroying the bandages simultaneously.
The wolves and mummies were shocked when they realized Theo had helped the wolves.
However, what Theo wanted was the balance of the battlefield. If more wolves died, he couldn't take advantage of the situation to kill all of them and get the best of them.
"Ava, prepare for an ambush behind the mummies, okay?" Theo asked with a low voice.
"Kyu…" Ava nodded and leaped off, hiding behind a tree before hopping around without anyone noticing.
Meanwhile, Theo summoned his clone and raised his spears. Without even looking at the wolves, Theo engaged two mummies as if showing the wolves that he was on their side now.
The wolves were confused, but they had the order from their king to kill every single monster other than their kin in this forest. Hence, one of them still tried to attack Theo, fulfilling that order.
"Oh no!" Theo widened his eyes and came to a halt. He turned around and saw the wolf while the mummy wasn't far away either. "This is not good…"
When the wolf was about to strike him with its claws, Clone Theo made a spin around Theo's body and waved his spear.
"!!!" The wolf didn't expect an attack and realized that Theo used his own body to cover the clone's movement.
The wolf had no time to react to his spear, ultimately getting hit right on the head.
The spear crushed its skull and killed the wolf in an instant while Theo smirked and said, "Not good for you."
The two mummies quickly waved their bandages again to restrain him, but three tombstones emerged from the ground, forming a shield that caught the bandages.
After that, Theo rained them down with his Magic Bullets, creating several holes on the mummies' bodies with some limbs falling to the ground.
His clone quickly made his way to the two mummies, thrusting his spear with Cannon Blast.
Instead of concentrating it on one point, he spread the Cannon Blast to launch the two mummies to the trees behind them.
However, an unexpected attack came from the ground. Several yellow bandages emerged from the ground and restrained Clone Theo.
The fire started to spread and burned Clone Theo.
"…" Theo's expression became serious when he saw a green-colored mummy covered by a yellow bandage made his appearance. In that instant, Theo's expression became serious as he realized this was also his target.
Name: Ancient Fire Mummy
Level: 320
As soon as he appeared, Ava also came out of her hiding spot, trying to kick him on the back of his head.
To her surprise, the Ancient Fire Mummy turned around as if he noticed her presence. The bandage formed a shield with some sort of symbol that strengthened the durability of its own shield.
"Kyu!" Ava kicked the shield but couldn't destroy it. In fact, the bandage felt too hard.
The Ancient Fire Mummy pushed the bandage forward, forcing Ava to leap into the air.
He then began to summon more bandages from the ground to catch Ava, albeit Theo had appeared next to him, swinging his spear.
The Ancient Fire Mummy smiled as if he saw Theo coming. He tilted his head to the left, avoiding Theo's slash. At the same time, he pointed at the bandage to show Theo that he had captured Ava.
Theo had no change of expression as Magic Bullets rained the bandage down, severing it.
The Ancient Fire Mummy opened his mouth in surprise as he never thought Magic Bullets would come down.
Before he could react, Ava already freed herself from the bandage as lightning started sparking all over her body.
She stepped on the air while Theo launched her with his Telekinesis to add the velocity.
Her speed didn't let the Ancient Fire Mummy react and Ava's feet hit the mummy's nose, breaking it and even pushing it to the inside.
The residual force blew the body down until the Ancient Fire Mummy hit the ground.
As if not wanting to be killed just like this, the Ancient Fire Mummy summoned more bandages from the ground to catch Ava and Theo.
However, their expressions remained the same as they simply stared at the Ancient Fire Mummy with poker faces.
A shadow appeared in his vision before his control over his bandage was gone and his energy started leaving his body.
It turned out the shadow was Clone Theo's spear. He severed the Ancient Fire Mummy's head.
"Kyu." Ava made a smug smile as if saying, "Know your place, Trash."
She seemed to be quite upset getting captured earlier.
Theo ignored her while confirming that he killed an Ancient Fire Mummy, his second mission after the Atrocious Wolf.
He touched the mummy's body and turned it into a card, finding one Skill Card and one Material Card.
Rejuvenating Bandage (C)
A fire-resistant bandage.
Skill: Fire Therapy (C)
Effect: A fire that can enhance one's metabolism to speed up the healing process. The fire needs to be around the Rejuvenating Bandage to be effective.
"…" Theo was impressed by the effect and said, "No wonder it's quite expensive. The doctor must have the skill and only needs the bandage. Though, I'm curious how much it can heal one's wound… I guess let the doctor do their jobs."
Theo shrugged and looked at the incoming mummies and wolves that tried to kill him.
Instead of having a serious expression, Theo was excited to the point he shouted, "Look at them, Ava. Two missions are coming at us as if telling us to kill them. We have finished the first one, so we will just kill the wolves to finish the mission.
"And we can still level up thanks to them. This is truly a blessing." Theo laughed and pointed his spear. "Let's kill them."
