Theo thrust his spear, taking advantage of the Death Eyes's power to land a hit on the original Theo.

But as one would expect from the original Theo, even though his talent and experience were lacking compared to the current Theo, they were still the same person.

Right before the spear hit him, the original Theo smirked as he suddenly accelerated to his max speed.

It turned out he had been acting this whole time.

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in shock when he saw the original Theo avoided the thrust. The latter even tried to stab his heart as a counterattack.

Theo used all his strength to throw his body to the side, but it was a tad too late. The spear grazed the side of his chest.

"Kh." Theo gritted his teeth and jumped back, trying to regain some distance to calm down.

Obviously, the original Theo didn't plan to let him go. He chased after him and waved his spear while saying, "I can devour everything, including fear. Anything you do won't be able to touch me anymore!"

When the original Theo's confidence reached its peak and their distance was close, Theo smiled as he also did the same thing as the original Theo.

He accelerated and thrust his spear while dodging the original Theo.

"!!!" It was the Devouring Saint's turn to be shocked as he used all his energy to shift the momentum, barely avoiding it.

"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue, while the original Theo was angry and frustrated. He realized that Theo had used the same trick to fool him.

Even the injury on the side of his chest disappeared together with the cut mark on the shirt.

It turned out the injury itself was an illusion. Theo actually managed to avoid the spear completely. He just wanted the original Theo to lower his guard down and strike him.

Unfortunately, both of them were Theodore Griffith. They weren't that easy to defeat.

Both of them were staring at each other, wondering what they should do and what their other self planned to do.

After all, this battle would be decided with their strategy. Even though there was a gap in their strength, as long as their strategy worked, they would be the winner.

Theo started waving his spear as if he was trying to write something in the air. The original Theo didn't know what it was, but he felt something weird from the movement.

It might be a trick with no meaning, but the original Theo couldn't simply dismiss any small act that Theo used, especially since Theo was known to be this type of person. If he carelessly approached him, he would be the one to lose.

Hence, the original Theo gathered his Magic Power into his left hand, forming a small black hole. Despite the size being only five percent of the previous black hole, the sucking force was more than a hundred times.

The hair, the clothes, or even the body was moving toward the black hole. Only the original Theo wasn't affected by the sucking force.

Then, the original Theo tossed the black hole forward.

"…" Theo squinted his eyes and ended up jumping to the side as the black hole sucked everything around it. Luckily, they had fought a bit farther from everyone. Even though they were close to the yellow line, there was still enough distance for anyone to avoid that attack.

Theo used his illusion to create a crack in the vortex again, but to his surprise, the sucking force was so great that the Magic Power to supply the illusion was sucked first before it could activate the power.

Both Theo had different thoughts about this phenomenon. For the original Theo, knowing that his devouring power would be enough to suck the Magic Power that was used for illusion was good news since this was one of the ways he could use to kill Theo. On the other hand, Theo thought the devouring power was good enough to be used as a weapon.

Of course, this weapon wasn't pointed at the humans or him. Instead, he was planning to use this power to kill some monsters nearby.

'Hmm… The illusion is not working. I don't think Reality Removal will be working against that level of devouring force, I guess…' Theo thought while assessing the original Theo. He was trying to come up with a way to defeat his original. 'Well, I have been gathering his data this whole time. I can still use the Twisted Reality and Reverse World to challenge him… Let's try it slowly, shall we?'

They were truly the same person. The original Theo also used that time to think about his next move.

'The devouring power is enough to stop his illusion. But it uses too much Magic Power. I won't be able to keep up if I use my Magic Power recklessly.

'Then again, it's impossible to defeat him with weak abilities. It seems that I have to continue using this ability. I just have to find an opportunity to make it count.'

The original Theo might feel superior, but it didn't change the fact that he acknowledged the current Theo's power. He knew how annoying it was to deal with the clone and the illusion that was supported by Theo's brain.

Meanwhile, Theo also knew that devouring power was simply too powerful. Although the original Theo looked rash, he was still the same person. So, he should be able to maintain a cool head during the fight. The more he riled him up, the more the original Theo might use it to fake his anger.

That was why both of them couldn't be careless if they wanted to win.

Their Magic Power soared once again as they prepared their next move.

Theo used his Alter Ego this time, increasing his speed. Meanwhile, the original Theo used the Devouring Power to swallow all the Magic Power in the area to weaken Theo's ability.

"!!!"

Both Theo suddenly disappeared, followed by a powerful shock wave as if there was a clash between them.

*Boom!*
