Chapter 975: Chapter 749: Immortal Spirit Six Circles
When Ais parted ways with Theona and Theone, she did see the two warriors from the Amazon nation retreat into the same passage.
In other words, the two pairs of Amazon twin sisters later ran into each other and most likely engaged in another fight.
If Theona and Theone were forcibly taken away, possibly even out of the labyrinth city, it is highly likely that those two female warriors were responsible.
Ordinarily, Orario allows entry but not exit, at least for adventurers. To prevent the loss of city battle strength, the Guild imposes strict restrictions on the passage of high-level adventurers and main gods of various familias, conducting inspections on those entering the city.
The Jali Fu Familia, as one of the world forces outside the city, if they entered the labyrinth city, they would almost certainly be thoroughly inspected by the Guild, and their arrival would immediately be known by the city’s various familias. It is impossible to keep this a secret.
But this time, the Jali Fu Familia entered the labyrinth city silently and reached Daedalus Street’s underground artificial labyrinth. What does this suggest?
It suggests that within the artificial labyrinth, or in the hands of the dark factions’ remnants, there is at least one or perhaps multiple secret passages leading outside the city.
The Jali Fu Familia entered the artificial labyrinth via those passages, coming to the underground of the labyrinth city.
Now, Theona and Theone have disappeared quietly and might have left the labyrinth city, beyond Reiger’s magic detection range. In hindsight, it seems that only the Jali Fu Familia could manage such a feat.
They have both the strength and the method.
Therefore, Theona and Theone went missing.
"In other words, those two idiot Amazons lost to their old adversaries from their homeland, right?" Bert said venomously, "What a disgrace."
"You should say less," Revilia’s brow furrowed even deeper, "The combat nation Tierscura is a world power, different from the generally lower-level forces outside Orario. There are strong figures in the country whose power and level are not inferior to first-tier adventurers."
"The two female warriors who confronted Theona and Theone should be such existences."
"Unless something unexpected happened, those two should be Alcana Jali Fu and Bajie Jialifu, the strongest female warriors of the combat nation Tierscura. They reached Lv.6 two years ago, and their strength compared to the recently leveled-up Lv.6 Theona and Theone is certainly stronger, not weaker."
Implying that it’s only natural for Theona and Theone to lose to them.
Of course, whether the two actually lost still remains to be discussed.
At the very least, Reiger does not believe that, under the enhancement of his [Lamu] and [Thin Veil Breath], Theona and Theone would lose to those two.
In the original story, Theona and Theone also engaged in a confrontation with Alcana and Bajie, resulting in a win and a loss.
Theona defeated Bajie, though it cost her quite a bit.
Theone couldn’t win against Alcana, and was eventually rescued by Finn, but she did manage to heavily injure Alcana.
Even though they were two years behind Alcana and Bajie in reaching Lv.6, in terms of basic abilities they certainly couldn’t compare to the already two-year-trained Alcana and Bajie, but the outcome of battles doesn’t rely solely on basic abilities; it also depends on development abilities, magic, and skills.
In terms of development abilities, there actually wasn’t much difference between the two sides; neither possessed combat-type development abilities that could play a decisive role.
In terms of magic, however, Alcana and Bajie had the advantage. Both possessed magic, whereas Theona had none, and only Theone possessed a binding-type magic, which she was not adept at using, so she rarely used it.
However, in terms of skills, Theona and Theone truly had a significant advantage.
Theona possessed two skills—[Frenzy Summoning Chaos] and [Great Heat Fight].
[Frenzy Summoning Chaos] is a skill that enhances one’s attack power based on the severity of their injuries.
[Great Heat Fight] is a skill that enhances all abilities when on the brink of death.
Theone also had two skills—[Wrath Summoning Chaos] and [Great Counterattack].
[Wrath Summoning Chaos] is a skill that enhances one’s attack power based on the severity of their injuries, and the angrier one is, the stronger the enhancement effect.
[Great Counterattack] is a skill that enhances the "Strength" parameter when on the brink of death.
The existence of these skills grants the sisters the ability to perform desperate counterattacks in dire situations or extreme adversity.
Even if they encounter enemies stronger than themselves, at the beginning, the sisters might find themselves at a disadvantage, but as the battle progresses and they suffer injuries or even approach death, their strength will increase significantly, ultimately surpassing their opponents and launching a desperate counterattack.
It’s safe to say, the skills of the sisters exist precisely for the purpose of turning the tables on enemies when at a disadvantage.
If Alcana and Bajie thought they had a sure win against the two, the end result would undoubtedly be disastrous.
But...
"Could it be that because of the protection effects of [Lamu] and [Thin Veil Breath], Theona and Theone avoided injury and being on the brink of death to the greatest extent, ultimately causing them to lose to Alcana and Bajie instead?"
Reiger suddenly thought of this.
The skills of Theona and Theone are almost all the type that only take effect after falling into a disadvantage and suffering severe injuries.
If they don’t get injured or aren’t on the brink of death, then conversely they lose the opportunity to turn the tables on their enemies.
