Chapter 1363 Reunion

Chapter 1363 Reunion

"I've been working hard for the last three years, you know." Ava smirked. She was in her battle form, so she looked a bit menacing. Even so, in Theo's eyes, she always looked like a kid in her cute form.
"Let me see how much you have improved…" Theo smirked. "Let's settle this in one blow, shall we?"
Theo was already aware that Ava was the one administering the trials this whole time. After all, his Reality Eyes picked on Ava and the Lightning Saint's status behind the cloud.
Knowing that the lightning contained Order instead of Authority, Theo knew that Ava was the one giving the trials.
Hence, the two partners finally met once again after their separation three years ago.
Theo used his Alter Ego, boosted his strength to the limit, and covered his fist with the Energy Blast
Meanwhile, Ava utilized the seven lightning balls that revolved behind her. This moon constellation power had always been Ava's biggest trump card that differentiated her from any other monsters.
Now that she could congest all seven lightning balls and become a King Class Monster, Ava finally surpassed Avarice.
And she put everything into this one attack to show her partner how much she had grown in the past three years.
The seven lightning balls revolved crazily as they began hovering around her cute paw, acting like it was a bracelet.
The lightning sparked even further to the point it caused a powerful shock wave. The sheer might alone doubled the size of the hole.
Theo and Ava smiled at each other as they finally struck forth.
The Energy Blast caused a huge explosion and dispersed the lightning around Ava's claws. But the seven lightning balls continuously provided an insane amount of lightning power, causing Ava to slightly burn Theo's hand with that power.
Luckily, the Supernatural Snake Body covered Theo's hand and prevented any damage from the lightning. Although the protection would only be for a while, it was enough for Theo to show the true might of strength with more than 4000 points.
Alter Ego, Strength.
The insane amount of force in that fist was finally released when the lightning around her claw finally disappeared.
"!!!" Ava widened her eyes in shock because her paw was hurt just by touching Theo's fist as if all that power directly went through her hand. If this continued, her arm might get ripped apart.
Still, she didn't want to lose against Theo. She showed her willpower by using all her strength to withstand that punch.
"Haaaa!" Ava shouted and pushed Theo, albeit no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't beat the absolute power.
"Kh!" Ava gritted her teeth as the force finally launched her to the sky.
Theo knew that he would injure Ava if he continued, so he stopped at the last second and released all the shock waves produced by that strength to just blow her away. This way, Ava wouldn't be injured at all. She would just be thrown back to the sky.
"Tsk." Ava clicked her tongue while floating in the air. Her form returned to her small form as she gradually fell down. "As expected, he's still so strong. I can't defeat him after all this…"
But her movement suddenly stopped as if she fell on top of a soft mattress. A gentle voice soon reverberated in her ears.
"Still, you have grown a lot stronger, partner."
Ava turned to the right and saw Theo catching her with his palms as he floated on top of the lightning cloud, looking at her with a gentle gaze.
Even Ava wanted to cry at this moment because she was missing Theo.
"Theo!" Ava leaped to Theo's face and covered his face as if she was hugging him.
"Haha, you're too excited." Theo chuckled but didn't push her away.
However, an aged voice soon interrupted their reunion as a dragon flew toward them.
"It seems that you have become a lot stronger, Theodore Griffith." The Lightning Saint smiled.
Theo's eyes were still covered by Ava's body, but Theo maintained his calm face and turned to the dragon, saying, "Yes. I hope that I didn't disappoint you, Lightning Saint."
"Haha, your progress alone is enough for me to see that you can protect her just fine. I don't have any issue if you want to bring her there. But you need to ensure that no human captures her because I know they'd like to dissect her."
"I'll protect her with my life." Theo smiled. "And thank you for taking care of Ava this whole time."
"I had my fun too. This child is bright and smart, so it's quite exciting to teach her. Well, you can go have fun for ten to twenty years. At the very least, I can still live for a few decades… After having your fun, I hope that she can return here to prepare to take my mantle."
"I understand. She will keep getting stronger from now on, and by the time she returns, she'll surely become a great person."
"Haha, I'm looking forward to it."
"Still, I'd like to inform you that I'll be setting up my base in Italy, so we'll most likely meet each other from time to time."
"I see. At the very least, there will be another person to help me to maintain the Orders here. I hope that you can help me to the best of your ability."
"Certainly. Also, Ava… Shouldn't you get off right now?" Theo sighed.
"Haha, this child asked me about you every day when I didn't even know about your information. Nonetheless, she was happy to know you were alive when the Frost Saint visited my territory." The dragon chuckled.
"Is that so?" Theo smiled.
"Well, I don't want to interrupt your reunion. I just want to tell you one thing." The dragon's tone became serious. Your power is a double-edged sword from the looks of it. It's good if you can handle it, but don't limit it to yourself… Why don't you give your opponent a weapon too? But one with only a single edge that will always face them?"
Theo fell silent for a moment and nodded politely as if he understood his advice. "Thank you very much, Lightning Saint."
"It's just friendly advice. You should go now."
"I understand. Then please excuse us." Theo then used his Telekinesis to descend, albeit with Ava still covering his face.
