Chapter 2018 Questions

'Why did Ava attack us?' This question kept replaying in her mind.
'There is no way Ava can betray us.'
'In that case, why did she attack us?'
'No, Ava is not smart enough to do something like that.'
'In that case, who made Ava attack us?'
Rea gritted her teeth while repelling the monsters' attacks. She had a hard time doing both at the same time, considering she had to face four King Class Monsters at once.
Still, Rea was smart. She didn't simply become Theo's disciple for no reason.
It didn't take too long for her to find out why Ava attacked them.
'This must be the War Saint's plan.'
'But I have never heard anything about this. Does this mean the War Saint is trying to do something?'
'Still, he shouldn't have attacked this area…'
'No, the only reason for him to attack this area is because he is trying to get the people around here involved…'
'No, wait. No one around here can understand what he is planning to do. After all, he is the War Saint.'
'No one… No, there is one person who might have the ability to comprehend his plan. And that person…' Rea paused for a moment before declaring it inwardly, '…is me.'
Rea felt overwhelmed because it meant the War Saint recognized her. At the same time, she felt a heavy pressure pushing her down as if trying to crush her.
The War Saint was trying to inform her something. But she had been too confused this whole time.
They were talking about the War Saint after all. The only person who might be able to beat him in a mind battle was probably Theo. But she wasn't at Theo's level.
It was impossible for her to understand it.
Just the thought alone made her feel scared.
The King Class Monsters around her obviously didn't allow her to have time to think.
They immediately attacked her without any mercy.
There were four incoming elemental attacks. Rea clicked her tongue and raised her sword. The dragon that came out of her sword let out a roar before flying forward, swallowing all the elemental attacks.
Unfortunately, her strength was incomparable to four King Class Monsters.
The four elemental attacks suddenly erupted at the same time, obliterating the dragon from the inside.
"!!!" Rea clicked her tongue while looking at the movement of the four King Class Monsters.
They were surrounding her as if trying to keep her as busy as possible. They might not have realized that the message came from the War Saint, nor they knew that she was the only one that might understand the message.
However, the change in the battlefield as well as the Shadow King successfully killing one of them was enough for the King Class Monsters to change their strategy. No matter who their opponent was, they had to do their best.
After all, if they allowed the humans to kill them and thin out their number, they would surely lose and fail to fulfill the expectation of the great slime.
That was why they started using all their power. They stopped holding back and planned to suppress her to death.
But surprisingly, Rea, who was under such overwhelming pressure, somehow managed to become comfortable on this battlefield. It felt like she had grown accustomed to this situation.
She might not be calm, but her mind didn't stop working at all.
Even under such pressure, she was still wondering about the hidden message that Leonardo put in that action.
'What does he want to convey? I don't understand. I can't see anything. What is it? Ava? Shadow King? Me?' Rea gritted her teeth. She didn't know what she had to do. And the more panicked she became, the harder for her to find the answer.
'I might be Theodore Griffith's disciple, but I'm far from his level. Even Agata…' Suddenly, Rea fell silent, noticing something. 'I am… Theodore Griffith's disciple… The only one who can understand him is me…'
"Kh!" Due to the thought, Rea dropped her guard down for a split second. The four King Class Monsters felt it and immediately attacked her from above.
She hurriedly formed a pair of wings on her back and covered her entire body. She even used the energy from Genbu to form a shield above him, blocking this combined attack.
However, the energy was too great. The moment it made contact with her barrier, the combined attack almost cracked the shield.
Then, the attack exploded, trying to engulf her. Luckily, she had covered her entire body with the wings, so only the wings were being destroyed.
Still, the remaining power from the combined attack couldn't be underestimated. The force contained in it immediately launched Rea to the ground.
*Bam!*
"Gah." Rea coughed blood when she crashed to the ground. She was lying down on the ground, having a hard time standing up.
In her current position, she couldn't help but look at the blue sky. In that blue sky, there were a few clouds of different shapes and sizes.
'The blue sky… and the War Saint's message… Teacher's grandfather…'
She didn't know why, but her teacher's words flashed in her mind and it was the same thing that woke her up.
"No, wait… Teacher…" Rea couldn't help but drop her jaw in shock when she finally understood what her master had said to her.
After taking care of the matter, Theo took his time to talk to his people personally, giving them a message that might be useful in this war.
Back then, Rea was standing in the middle of the field, looking at Theo, who seemed to be staring at the blue sky. It felt like he was watching beyond that blue sky.
Theo had a calm smile on his face as he raised his palm as if trying to grasp it. He said, "Rea… Take a look at the blue sky. What can you find from there?"
It was a simple question, but it opened an infinite possibility in her.
