"Go!"

Theo and Iris rushed forth. The ghost had stood up once again. Now that the ghost had gotten serious, his previous attack was like none other.

The first thing Theo faced was a wave of hair. If they got swallowed inside, their bodies would be too entangled to even release themselves. In addition, the hair had been coated by the black essence. If not for Mia's playing with the shampoo, there would be an additional thirty percent of hair in this attack.

Iris waved her long blade, sending a crescent-shaped sword strike to cut the hair.

When the strike arrived, the hair was cut like when she fought it the whole time. However, the black essence carried the momentum and splashed toward her.

"!!!" Iris hurriedly threw herself to the side to avoid the essence that was supposed to be able to possess her.

At the same time, Theo also tested a similar method. Instead of slicing the hair with his thread, Theo actually split his threads into two. The ones coming on the left hand actually mingled with the hair and got tangled up with it. It managed to stop the momentum of the hair because the ghost had a hard time controlling the hair in that mess.

However, the threads from his right hand actually sliced the hair into multiple parts, which caused the black essence to fly toward him.

Theo skillfully avoided it and looped around the ghost.

Unfortunately, Iris wasn't so lucky. The direction she was going stood tall Mia's doll. It had been taken over by the ghost, so the moment she landed on the ground after throwing herself to the side, the doll actually slammed its fist toward Iris.

"Tsk." Iris thought it would be impossible to avoid this. But a talisman suddenly flew toward her and formed a translucent screen that contained the doll's giant fist. The black essence that splashed upon impact was completely blocked.

Iris glanced back, finding Rintaro who turned out to be the one helping her.

His two familiars had appeared, forming a barrier that blocked the remaining essence that flew toward him and the students.

Iris hurriedly looked around, wondering what she should test next.

On the other side, Theo had reached the back of the ghost. It seemed that the hair was able to sense his presence as it kept expanding toward him.

Instead of stopping the hair, Theo actually formed a knot like that of a cobweb. After that, he tossed it into the ghost's hair, attaching it like a cowboy. After that, he extended the cobweb with a string to the ground. The strings went deep underground before tying another knot that would stop getting untied by the sheer pressure.

The ghost didn't stop moving the whole time, so the moment it reached its limit, the tense string suddenly pulled the ghost's back.

"!!!" The ghost's body tilted to the back as if a giant grabbed its hair and pulled it. If the ghost moved faster, it would throw the ghost upside down.

However, there was another reason why Theo formed that web. He sent another wave of thread underneath the giant web and attached some hair as he began looping around the body, pulling even more hair.

The ghost turned its focus on Theo by sending all its hair in all directions. It took advantage of the hair's different length to surround Theo.

This was the time Theo pointed upward while looking at the three vanguards.

Li Wei and Avalon immediately stepped forward with their swords. Avalon charged his sword with an enormous amount of essence while Li Wei muttered, "I can cut everything down if I want it."

Li Wei and Avalon swung their blades diagonally, shooting out a cross sword wave that cut down the hair around Theo. The latter took advantage of it by speeding up.

Jayden looked at them, feeling slightly envious. He didn't have any ability he could release from a distance, but Mia suddenly tapped his shoulder before whispering something that made his eyes brighten.

Iris also waved her sword to cut a lot of hair that continued growing. But when it reached the spot where Theo began to attach the hair, she noticed what Theo was planning to do.

Seeing Theo was under a lot of attacks, Li Wei and Avalon wouldn't be enough. Hence, Aurora leaped into the air.

Her body was releasing a white light that soon formed a pair of wings on her back. It also expanded her bow.

"I have been learning this thing after feeling useless in the previous fight." Aurora formed her arrow of light and released it.

The arrow didn't look anything special, so the ghost only sent a few hairs to stop it, but the moment it made contact, the arrow exploded, bursting out all the energy that had been condensed within.

It was so strong that it knocked the ghost's upper body back.

This was similar to Christina's arrow when she shot down the crown prince. She asked her to teach the secret because she didn't have enough firepower back then.

Theo couldn't help but smile, seeing how his students grew stronger and stronger. It was time for him to begin the next step.

He looped around the ghost and reached the place where he formed the cobweb. He then let go of all the hair he had attached earlier and used the cobweb that had touched the ground due to the hair's continuous expansion.

He had been waiting for it. Now that all the hair in the back had been tied into one, Theo suddenly cut it into two before tying the middle part to create a long rope.

Theo pointed at the bear while looking at Iris.

In that instant, Iris turned around and jumped toward the controlled teddy bear. She sheathed her sword for a second before drawing it at a speed hardly visible to the naked eye.

The draw was so fast and released so much energy that it felt like the sword expanded for a split second, cutting the teddy bear's neck in an instant. After that, she waved the sword a couple more times, slicing the bear into pieces. This way, the bear should be destroyed.

Mia noticed that the teddy bear had been released after being destroyed and began the next plan. She slapped Jayden's back before jumping into the air.

"Muahahahaha! It's me again!" Mia laughed out loud to grab the ghost's attention. It was annoyed to see Mia after everything she had done.

In fact, the ghost was still in the middle of recycling its sticky hair. And Mia seemed to be trying to do something else.

"Ueeee!" The ghost released a deafening scream, showing its anger toward Mia.

A giant bear appeared from the ground, using its hand as Mia's footing. The ghost, on the other hand, formed a few hands to grab this bear.

"Unfortunately for you, I'm going to play a different game." Mia pointed to the left. "Simon says, look to your right!"

The ghost trembled. It felt a fluctuation of energy on the left. Unlike the previous time, Mia made it look obvious.

So, the ghost without hesitation looked to its right, only to find that what it felt earlier was truly only a fluctuation. She didn't summon anything.

Instead, another fluctuation of energy could be felt in the opposite direction. The ghost realized that it had been fooled once again and hurriedly rotated its head in the opposite direction, albeit it was too late.

The one that appeared this time was not Mia's power, but Jayden.

That was right. Mia earlier told Jayden about the plan to play this game.

He could see the opening and immediately jump toward the ghost's head. Right before he arrived, Jayden released his ability.

"Strength Demon, First Authority. Multiplicative Strength! 100x times." Jayden used all his strength to punch the ghost's cheek.

The strength was extremely powerful. Unfortunately, the ghost didn't have a jaw or it would have been crushed completely. Instead, the ghost only received the impact, which caused its body to tilt to the side. Sadly, it wasn't enough to knock the ghost down. But when Jayden looked at the ground, he noticed that it was using its hair to pull its body in a different direction to avoid falling again. The ghost had actually learned that it would be dangerous to fall over.

Still, Mia had achieved her original's intention. She couldn't help but smile when she saw a little crack that appeared on the ghost's face.

"!!!" The ghost widened its eyes, noticing what Mia's objective was.

Mia had actually used the Eye of Truth to discern the ghost's true body. And it was then that she realized that the ghost's face was the real body. As long as she could destroy it, the ghost might disappear.

However, even with Jayden's full power, the crack was only a fist size. Compared to the giant head, it was less than one percent of the face's surface.

The ghost hurriedly straightened its body to catch Jayden, but the latter actually received help from the twins.

Luca and Lucas pointed their hands upward and formed their barrier right underneath Jayden. He used it to jump away from the ghost and prepare for the next strike.

After all, Mia was about to begin her next attack.

"Simon says…" Mia smirked while pointing upward. "Jump!"

The ghost's body shook due to the annoyance, but without the ghost realizing it, Mia's doll had actually disappeared. She was currently standing on top of a barrier.

It was then that Theo's Clown emerged from the ground. It was located on the ghost's left and actually picked up the thread that Theo had prepared for him.

On the other side, the giant teddy bear had arrived and picked up the thread that had been attached to the hair on the back.

The ghost might be able to feel something on its back, but without turning around, it wouldn't realize what Theo had done to its hair.

Both the clown and the teddy bear suddenly swung the thread up, making everyone see what Theo had done. He had actually tied the hair with the thread to make a giant rope from the ghost's hair. And this ghost hair was swung down like a jump rope.

Because the ghost didn't know what happened and had just recovered from Jayden's attack.

As a result, the hair rope struck the ghost's feet, tripping it over.

"!!!" The ghost didn't see this coming. When it was about to fall down, some of the hair in front struck deep underground to prevent it from falling.

Unfortunately for the ghost, Iris made her appearance again and cut down all the hair that supported the ghost's body, causing the ghost to fall on its back.

Bam!

"Rinki, Ginki!"

Rintaro's two familiars appeared on top of the ghost and clasped their hands, forming a symbol with their fingers.

All of a sudden, a translucent barrier appeared all around the ghost's body. Each barrier was attached to the ground as if it were trying to prevent the ghost from moving.

It was then that Oliver was launched into the air with the twins' barrier and reached the barrier Mia stood on.

Oliver then raised his hand, releasing something from his inventory.

And that item was as one would expect, a giant truck.

As soon as the truck appeared, Mia and Oliver jumped away, not wanting to be harmed by their own attack.

Oliver shouted, "Maya!"

"Oh!" Maya had actually summoned her exoskeleton. This time, the exoskeleton was so big that it looked like a robot instead. A few of the sockets on the exoskeleton's shoulders were opened, shooting out a few missiles.

The truck fell on top of the ghost with that immense weight. It even created a small tremor on the ground.

And last but not least, Maya's missiles flew toward the truck and caused a massive explosion.

Boom!

The explosion was so loud that some of the windows that directly felt the shock wave shattered. Some of the trees even fell down as the roots were unable to support their bodies anymore.

Oliver made a wry smile as he said, "It's a goddamn oil truck, alright?"
