[Adam_Balch_7324: Who do you think will evolve first the twins (assuming they do together) or aurora?]
…
"I won't be saying anything about the wager. You guys can have fun with that. As for who will evolve first, I can't say anything. While I can predict the general direction of this battle, it's going to be hard to simulate the details. There are simply too many possibilities."
Theo raised his head, sensing some dangers ahead. "So that's how it is…"
He was watching his students from the top of the tree. The students were seeking their next targets, considering all those blood servants were coming toward them from all around the forest.
"Aurora, Luca, Lucas."
"Mhmm?" All three students glanced at Theo, furrowing their eyebrows.
"I will give you one tip. Don't focus too much on those weaklings."
Luca and Lucas didn't understand it completely. However, Aurora couldn't help but feel something much more dangerous than the numerous blood servants hiding inside this forest, if she didn't misinterpret Theo's words.
"In that case…" Aurora took a deep breath. "We have to thin out their numbers first."
"!!!" The twins exchanged looks after hearing what Aurora said. They nodded to each other as Lucas came forward, looking at the blood servants coming from the north and west.
Lucas clapped his hands before placing them on the ground. "Great Fortress!"
All of a sudden, numerous barriers appeared between the trees. They didn't act as a whole. Instead, they were just a small door that could easily be avoided.
That was why it didn't take a lot of essence for Lucas to summon all these barriers.
However, there was another purpose for summoning so many barriers.
When the blood servants were about to pass them, they actually didn't avoid the barriers. Instead, they crashed straight in, causing their bodies to be deformed upon impact.
Yes, Lucas was trying to measure their intelligence by using these barriers.
Now that he knew their behaviors, Lucas glanced at his sister.
Luca waved both hands upward as the essence of each barrier Lucas made fluctuated. This was the difference between their strengths.
Lucas was extremely good at barrier summoning. His barrier was firm and sturdy. On the other hand, Luca was exceptional at barrier manipulation.
The moment the blood servants passed the barrier formation that Lucas made, Luca started summoning spikes in all directions from each barrier, piercing the bodies or heads of the blood servants.
In just an instant, more than fifty blood servants fell down. Luca and Lucas were able to see their essence much clearer than others, so they knew which part of their bodies actually produced the essence to keep them going.
Each of Luca's spikes pierced through those places, which ultimately killed them.
"I can't lose…" Aurora smiled, feeling challenged by Luca and Lucas.
"O' Goddess of the Hunt, I beseech you to bless these bow and arrows to crush the vile enemies." Aurora's arrow started to emit a faint blue light. "Divine Punishment."
The moment she released the arrow to the sky, the essence around it caused an eruption, increasing the speed of the arrow tremendously.
It took only a second to actually reach its peak. The arrow suddenly turned into a sphere of light that shone brightly like the sun.
"So beautiful," Luca muttered while looking at the golden sphere.
That was right. While Aurora was using her bow, the element she wielded was related to light.
The golden spheres suddenly produced numerous beams of light that showered the entire area.
Roar!
Roar!
Roar!
The blood servants could only let out a roar like that of a beast as their bodies were pierced one by one.
If this continued, Aurora could kill everything within a 200-meter radius. This was a high level technique that had one big weakness.
If the enemy was smart, they would aim directly at the sphere since it was a big target in the sky.
However, after seeing the reaction of the blood servants on the twins' side, she realized that it would be better to use this technique to reduce their number first.
But Aurora wouldn't expect that something could grow and actually stop her attack.
Bam!

They heard a loud noise,spreading like something had just emerged from the ground. When she raised her head, Aurora couldn't help but gasp.
A tree was actually growing at high speed and spread in all directions like an umbrella.
She had created that sphere up in the sky, so it would be a bit hard to reach, but the tree was actually big enough to stop most of the light beams.
At the same time, Lucas suddenly shouted, "Watch out!"
"!!!" Aurora turned her head in shock as she saw a spear made of flame coming at her.
A screen suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking the fire spear.
It caused an explosion, which almost lit up the trees around them. If not for the fact that the forest was very humid, the trees would have caught fire.
More importantly, Aurora was shocked that she would be attacked from very far away.
'What?' Aurora gasped. There was a woman wearing similar clothing to all the witches they had encountered in this world. Unlike the other blood servants, this woman had a rather refined appearance. Other than the blood red veins around her face as well as her bloodshot eyes, she would think she was a normal person.
"Is this what the queen said about high level blood servants…" Aurora sucked a cold breath. She couldn't help but remember what she said yesterday.
"There is something that I have to warn you about before fighting the Crimson Witch. To defeat the Crimson Witch is to crush her army. Even in a normal army, you will have normal soldiers and commanders. The same applies to the Crimson Witch. There are low level blood servants that act as her soldiers, but you have to be wary of the high level blood servants. While they can't control the blood servants, they are much more special."
Aurora gave a wry smile. "She should have said that the high level blood servants are simply witches that have been turned into blood servants."
"More are coming!" Luca bit her lips. There were a lot of low level blood servants, but she could see two servants that released tremendous ominous energy.
Aurora's expression turned serious.
"I just warned you…" Theo smiled. "What's wrong? Should I help you now and deal with those low level blood servants?"
Aurora bit her lips and waved her hand. "There's no need for Teacher to make his move yet! We can still handle this."
"Luca, Lucas! We're doing that!"
"Oh!" Luca and Lucas nodded. Lucas immediately formed multiple barriers, this time coming from one tree to another. In fact, he actually used the trees as a joint, which helped him reduce his energy consumption. With this, he could create a wall.
Luca then formed numerous spikes on those walls, which would definitely kill the incoming low level blood servants.
However, there was one problem. The fact that Lucas stretched his barrier meant that the essence of that long wall wasn't concentrated enough to withstand a powerful attack.
The high level blood servants understood this and started making their moves in order to crush them.
If that was all there was to it, Theo would be disappointed. That was why Aurora hadn't made her move yet.
She locked on all three high level blood servants as though they were her prey.
