[Chapter 275 Comments.]
[Adam_Balch_7324: It seems someone is coming though its a bit cryptic and also the twins have seem to made a discovery]
[Keltic_Spirit: Counting tally: 3 Have you ever thought about how the author may suppress one of the students, send them along a dark path, then awaken them for worse? Memory manipulation is scary.]
[TheTavius08: I'm hella late,the author has been infrequent due to being sick. Anyways you as a teacher can't show favorites..but I can! A thought I had was that can he build things using his storage space?Cause he can bring stuff…read more.]
…
Theo's expression turned serious. "Yeah. I know about the incoming threat… I don't have a lot of time, so I'll just reply to the comments briefly.
"Well, after what happened to Yue Yi in the cultivation world, I know a bit about yandere culture. I'm just afraid that these students of mine become too obsessed and become like that after a slight temptation. That's why I distance myself a bit by agreeing to Victoria's arrangement for the second year.
"Building things with stuff inside his storage… if you're talking about stacking, then yes. But if you're talking about building inside the storage itself, then no. He can't move items inside his storage. Well, he has already captured the momentum, no? While he can capture intangible things, they have to be connected directly to tangible items according to Oliver."
Now that Theo had finished replying to the comments, he turned his head around. The illusion beasts were fighting well. They were the same beasts that he summoned when he was running away with Baold and the others in Sword and Magic World.
But because the blood servants were controlled instead of having a personal consciousness, he couldn't control them and trick the blood servants like he did in the Sword and Magic World.
That was why he just summoned enough numbers to deal with those blood servants and focused his attention on the incoming threat.
"As expected, they're coming." Theo's expression turned serious, with some underlying meaning in his words.
On the other hand, Lucas couldn't help but remember the advice Theo had given him before coming to the Blood Forest.
"Listen, Luca, Lucas. You two are good at barriers, but your way of using them is extremely restricted. I won't give you an example because you might reach an answer different from mine.
"Instead, I will only tell you to be free. Your barrier is free. Well, it could be said that your barrier and my illusion are similar in one area. They are free. As for what kind of freedom this will mean to you, you are the only one who can answer it."
Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire
Lucas had inspiration flooding into his mind when he saw Theo summon all those beasts.
"Those beasts…" Lucas gulped down. "Free, huh? Now that I think about it, I have been too focused on what it means to be a barrier, especially the shape of a barrier. But when I take another look at this wall, they gradually stray away from the usual shape of a barrier. There is a barrier manipulator next to me. If that's the case, my barrier can be free…"
Lucas glanced at his sister. "Luca. I'm going to do something."
"I think I also understand something." Luca nodded with a serious expression.
The twins couldn't help but smile at each other. "It seems that we have found our answer at the same time. With this, we won't need to influence each other's answer."
"Yes."
"I will start then." Lucas stepped forth. He raised his hands while closing his eyes, imagining his barrier. 'In the modern world, we learn a bit about science. Even without that, we have plenty of clues from our world.'
Lucas summoned a barrier. It was a normal barrier, but he flipped it so that it was lying horizontally.
It was quite thick, but the shape of the barrier would change slightly right after.
'A sword is just a kind of metal plate with a sharp edge. In that case, isn't it similar to my barrier? I only need a sharp edge.' Lucas controlled his essence a little bit, changing the shape of the barrier.
At the front edge, the barrier became thinner and thinner until it was thin enough to be called sharp.
"Go!" Lucas shouted while controlling this barrier. The latter flew over the wall and suddenly curved downward, hitting the blood servants like a guillotine.
As he originally expected, the barrier actually cut the blood servants like a sharp blade.
"It works!" Lucas smiled. He hurriedly controlled the sharp barrier to fly around, cutting down one blood servant after another. They simply stood no chance against this barrier.
As if knowing the threat that this barrier possessed, the Fire Witch shot out a flame spear, causing an explosion that shattered the barrier.
"Ah!" Lucas widened his eyes. That was right. By changing the shape of his barrier, he would definitely change its characteristics. The thinner the barrier, the more brittle it was. So Lucas understood why the barrier shattered.
"Still, this is not the only shape I can aim for." Lucas waved his hand. Suddenly, a crescent-shaped barrier with a sharp edge flew off his hand. "This is a barrier sword wave, using Li Wei's technique as an inspiration."
The barrier flew toward the blood servants, splitting them into two. Because of the swiftness of the barrier, the witch didn't have enough time to stop it. By the time another fire spear shattered it, the barrier had killed more than twenty blood servants.
"This is interesting." Lucas grinned. What he did remained the same. He just summoned a barrier horizontally and moved them forward. Normally, he summoned them vertically, like a wall, and pushed them.
But the difference in shape, angle, and speed made everything different.
"I'm not done yet!" Lucas became even more excited as he had a lot of things to test.
Seeing such power, Luca couldn't help but smile. "I also don't want to lose against Lucas."
For a barrier manipulation master like her, Luca focused on moving the barrier. She created tentacles from her back, the shape that she was most familiar with.
But she slightly tweaked the tips to be sharp. The tentacles moved forward like the extension of her hands, slashing one blood servant after another.
Another high level blood servant formed a stone wall, but unlike Lucas, she skillfully avoided this stone wall with her control.
After that, she curved it again and killed the blood servants behind that wall.
"Wow! It's really working." Still, they were twins. Seeing Lucas having fun with blades ended up influencing her, despite having said that they shouldn't influence each other for their answer.
"Blades are so cool…" Luca smiled. With these tentacles, she could basically become invisible. She could move them like they were parts of her body. The shape could also be easily manipulated.
"How about this then?" Luca raised her hand. The tentacles disappeared. Instead, a few rings in different sizes appeared with her in the center. In each ring, several blades appeared.
After that, Luca made the circles spin, turning them into a chain saw.
When a blood servant approached her, it ended up reaching the first circle of defense. The blade came from the left, slicing the blood servant.
"Wow? With this, can't I become a fortress myself?"
