God of Tricksters

"This is Order!" The troll shouted. His black armor soon discharged a powerful Magic Power. And surprisingly, half of the Magic Power seemed to have changed color.

"…" Theo narrowed his eyes and maintained his silence. Inside, he was questioning the troll's power. 'That is Order for sure. Does this mean he's a King Class Monster as well? But his strength is only the Supreme Rank… Wait, Avarice also has Supreme Rank strength…

'Seeing how only half of the Magic Power has turned black, he has the Order but hasn't fully integrated it yet. Just like me back then… In fact, I don't think he can utilize his Order that much.

'I see. He is the perfect enemy for me to see how far my Order can go.' Theo took a deep breath and said, trying to startle the troll. "It seems that this is the reason why you start expanding your domain."

"It seems even for a human; you're pretty smart." The troll smirked and raised his black bat.

The moment he slammed the ground, the black-colored energy spread to the surrounding, turning the entire place to complete darkness.

'He's enveloping this room with that darkness power? His strength is similar to the Dark King…' Theo thought while maintaining his Awareness to make sure the troll couldn't sneak attack.

Suddenly, he raised his sword with both hands before a clicking sound was heard.

"It seems you can see me in this darkness… No, should I say you can sense me?" The troll started laughing as his sound started echoing inside the cave.

Theo took a deep breath and closed his eyes this time, focusing on his senses. After that, he leaped toward the left before the bat struck the ground, turning the floor into a crater.

Using this chance, Theo spun his body and waved his swords a few times, sending the sword energy multiple times.

The sword energy split and flew around the cave as though trying to brighten this room. Unfortunately, the energy didn't light up anything.

"There's no use. You will be trapped in this endless darkness this whole time." The troll chuckled and continued hitting him.

However, Theo managed to avoid or parry all his attacks for the time being. Although he wanted to use his Order right away, he believed he should wait for a bit more.

'I should understand how his Order works first. I'm not going to waste the chance to learn more about other Orders.' Theo thought while releasing his Death Avatar.

This time, the Death Avatar turned around and grabbed the incoming bats.

"It's no use." The troll snorted and released his Magic Power, utilizing this darkness to swallow the Death Avatar's hands.

Surprisingly, the hands were gone in just one second, resulting in the bat coming toward Theo.

The latter used his Blink to escape before summoning numerous Magic Bullets and shooting at the troll from all directions.

"I already told you that your efforts are futile. Your only fate is to die." The troll roared and marched forward, ignoring all the Magic Bullets.

Theo's Control might be good enough to aim at the small gap for his eyes, but he certainly couldn't do anything in this darkness.

The only thing he could do was to sense his body and attack. That was all.

Seeing how the troll easily defeated his attack, Theo changed his strategy. Instead of attacking the troll, he shot his Magic Bullets to the back, specifically to the walls.

There were supposed to be ten tunnels in his surroundings, so a chance should come.

A smile appeared on the troll's face as he clapped his hand once, absorbing all the Magic Bullets.

Theo furrowed his eyebrows while leaping around, avoiding all the troll's attacks.

In just one minute, they had clashed one hundred rounds as the troll started something new every time to see what kind of attack would hit Theo.

On the other hand, Theo still maintained his calm and parried the bat again and again.

He had tried many things. The Magic Augmentation and Magic Power Expansion were absorbed by the darkness. Even the Telekinesis became a hollow shell when it hit the troll.

Even his Magic Bullet, Sword Energy, and Thunderclap Fist were devoured by the troll so easily.

However, he noticed that the troll expended a huge amount of energy to utilize this power. His breathing became rougher as time passed.

Theo couldn't help but say, "What's wrong? Do you need some time to rest? It's useless, but it seems your stamina isn't that good. How about your night's stamina? Or maybe it's a troll's asthma?"

Theo didn't hold back when he mocked the troll.

As expected, the troll bit the provocation as he released even stronger energy from his body.

"Don't underestimate me. I will become the ruler of this plain, and no one can stop me." The troll roared as he leaped toward Theo.

Unlike the previous attack, the troll suddenly raised his left hand. The Magic Power fluctuated weirdly.

Even though Theo couldn't see this power, he could feel the shape and the amount of Magic Power.

So, the moment he sensed that enormous Magic Power, Theo leaped back to gain some distance.

"You're the one asking for it, human." The troll waved his hand, throwing the ball-shaped energy toward Theo.

However, the throw actually missed as the ball landed a few feet in front of him.

When Theo was about to think he just missed, the Magic Power fluctuated again. Multiple spikes emerged from the ball as. Some even hit Theo's suit, blowing him to the wall.

Luckily, the Supernatural Snake Body and the special suit managed to withstand its power.

'I'm not lucky… As expected, his strength…' Theo thought before saying, "I see. Your power can only swallow Magic Power. Your power will be severely weakened if it hits a real thing."

"And?" The troll snorted as he shot another ball toward him, who was pinned on the wall. "As long as it pierces the unprotected parts of your body, you will die. Struggle, human!"

Theo let out a long sigh before his spear turned back into a sword.

Finally, Theo revolved his Order before slashing downwards.

Suddenly, the incoming black ball split into two and disappeared.

"Struggle? That's what I was supposed to say." Theo smiled.

"!!!"
