Theo fell silent as he looked around. The situation had truly become a mess.
Enrica couldn't help but shout, "Theo! We need a solution."
That shout alarmed the Goblin King and Goblin Shaman as they managed to locate the real Theo in an instant.
"Killing him will make them fall deeper into despair." The Goblin King pointed at Theo while forming another sword on his hand, preparing to kill Theo.
Agata couldn't help but step forward, realizing they would lose without Theo. Rather than getting tortured after they captured her, she preferred to die while protecting Theo.
"Ha!" Loris stood up and charged at the Goblin King, waving his sword. The Saint Sword moved from the right while his real sword hit him from the left.
The Goblin King saw this and summoned two swords, striking Loris' swords at the same time.
Filbert also helped him by summoning two palms from the ground, trying to punch him. But before he could touch him, the shaman hit him with the boulder.
Bam.
Filbert gritted his teeth and withstood its weight. He didn't even budge despite his right arm being crushed and started bleeding on one side.
Filbert then used that chance to punch the Goblin King and flipped him upside down.
Loris used this chance to slam his sword down and push the Goblin King to the ground, pinning him down. "Go! It's time for you to escape."
"Theo!" Enrica shouted at Theo again as the latter hadn't even moved from his position.
Suddenly, Theo placed his hand on Agata's shoulder, surprising her. Her head turned to Theo and the latter gently pushed her to the side, making him the focus of the Goblin King again.
He stared at Loris and the Goblin King. "I had given you my suggestions, but you brushed it off because it was your job. Well, yeah, your job was indeed to send people to death."
Theo was reminding him of his warning even though he needed to leave right now.
'You're talking about it now?' Even Agata couldn't help but say inwardly with an awkward face.
Enrica had a sour face as she wanted to beat Theo up. It wasn't the time to talk about their grudges because their lives were on the line.
Filbert had no word to say as he just wondered why youngsters these days talked about something like this in a life and death situation. After all, the longer they waited, the more they were at a disadvantage.
Loris shouted in frustration. "I know that already. I was wrong! Hurry up and take the Saintess and Miss Agata out of here!"
Unfortunately, after he finished his words, the Goblin King formed a few spikes with his shadow, forcing Loris to step to the right. After that, the Goblin King hit his sword and blew him away.
"Kh!" Loris crashed into the tent while Filbert tried to stop them.
However, the first one to make a move was none other than the shaman. He summoned a huge boulder and released it like a bullet. Its target was none other than Theo.
Stopping something like this might heavily injure him, but Theo stood without even putting his guard up.
Right before the boulder hit Theo, a figure emerged in front of Theo, and the next second, the boulder split into two and passed him, Ava, and Agata.
"Huft." The shadow let out a sigh of relief while smiling. "Seriously. You're truly nasty. To use me to block something like this…"
All of them were shocked when they heard that voice. It was a very familiar voice because the person was famous in Italy.
Agata, Enrica, or even Loris widened their eyes, not believing who just appeared out of nowhere.
"Haha, sorry, sorry. I will be buying the drink later… Even though I don't drink."
"Just play some simulation games with me later."
"Okay… Lorenzo." Theo smiled.
Yes. The one who stopped the boulder was none other than the current number one of the War God Family's younger generation, Lorenzo.
"Where is he?" Theo asked.
"He—" Before Lorenzo finished his words, the Goblin King formed a spear made of shadow and threw it to Lorenzo and Theo. "Shut up, outsider! Since you have come here, I will send you to hell."
The spear flew at a faster speed than the boulder, but another shadow formed and became armor wielding a giant shield.
The shield blocked the spear as the shock wave shook the battlefield. The clash continued for a few seconds before the spear disappeared.
"That armor…" Enrica widened her eyes, recognizing the skill.
Even Agata dropped her jaw in surprise as an aged voice echoed in their ears. It wasn't loud but somehow reached everyone.
"I don't need you to teach my grandkids."
They tried to look around as they wondered where the man was.
Suddenly, their eyes were locked on a figure standing on top of the armor's shoulder, looking down on them.
"War Saint." Enrica frowned while clenching her fists.
"Sir Leonardo." Agata's heart skipped a beat. She recalled what Theo did the past few days and gulped down, thinking, 'I see. His clone never appeared this whole time because he was bringing a reinforcement.'
Theo smiled and felt her gaze. He winked at her and said, "I already said, trust me."
Agata couldn't reply as her feelings were mixed up. She knew Theo decided to take the matter to his own hand because the Holy Knight Order couldn't be trusted anymore.
On the other hand, Leonardo opened his mouth again. "And you all from the church… My War God Family has given you one of the best strategists in our family, yet, you don't even trust him. Tell Fran—the pope I need an explanation and a reimbursement.
"For now, I will take over this place and no one other than my War God Family members can go around this place, including the Holy Knight Order. If he doesn't like my decision, I don't mind fighting him." Leonardo snorted and turned to the Goblin King. "That aside, I need to kill some pests first."
He wrapped the Goblin King in his killing intent as a white armor with a giant blade on his hands appeared behind him. Leonardo said, "Now, now. You try to kill my grandchildren in front of my eyes… According to the rules, your punishment is… death."
