God of Tricksters

"!!!" Theo and Ergene looked at that hill, stunned.

Nella was in Theo's mind because there was supposed to be only one person standing there.

And this attack was something outside his calculation. In other words, the enemies might have outsmarted him.

The moment this happened, his entire plan would crumble because Felix and Chris were holding the reinforcement back.

So, Theo abandoned his position as he flew toward the hill. At the same time, he shouted, "Ergene. I give up! Take care of this battlefield for me."

Ergene obviously didn't care about the competition anymore. After all, she couldn't see this coming as well. Instead of flaunting her win, Ergene jumped toward Theo and said, "Okay. I'll take care of them."

"Thanks." Theo nodded and signaled Jeff to come back.

In that instant, the army disappeared as Jeff left his position.

The moment Theo reached the top of the hill, he saw eight people surrounding Nella with one of them being a Mythical Rank Expert.

"What the hell…" Theo widened his eyes, never expecting them to come. However, their dark blue hair and eyes reminded him of one family.

"Don't come! They're from the Griffith Family. This is my problem, and I don't want to drag you into this!" Nella gritted her teeth and raised both hands, preparing to handle them alone.

Obviously, even Theo could easily see that Nella would be overwhelmed by the enemies.

Hence, Theo ignored her words and stated coldly, "Griffith Family! I don't care who you are, but she is currently the informant of the Star Group. Don't mess with us!"

"Go!" The Griffith Family didn't care about his statement. In fact, they actually wanted to attack Joker to confirm his identity.

Five Supreme Rank Experts hurriedly jumped toward Joker while the Mythical Rank Expert handled Nella.

"Only Five Supreme Rank Experts? It seems that you are looking down on me." Theo raised his sword.

As expected from the Griffith Family, an influence whose Control Aspect was one of the greatest in the world.

When these five Supreme Rank Experts reached him, they showed their own Control. One of them created a blade from their hands, turning their heads into a sword. Two of them had a giant cannon completely filled with their Magic Power. And the last two raised both hands as they had the same fighting style like Nella.

Theo waved his sword, releasing a crescent-shape sword strike that ran through the ground.

Because they had seen how Theo fought earlier, two of them with a giant cannon on top of them released their Magic Power, shooting their Magic Power.

The two cannonballs and Theo's sword strike clashed, resulting in a huge explosion from the cannonballs that ultimately neutralized Theo's attack.

After that, the other two approached Theo from the right and left, punching the air.

Magic Saint Fist Style, Twister.

The two released a torrential Magic Power to bind him. Even Theo could feel the sheer pressure as if two giant slabs were trying to squeeze him.

And the one with the blade advanced, slashing Theo's mask. He even released some Magic Power to crush the mask if Theo could still somehow block his slash.

Unfortunately for them, they had severely underestimated Theo. Before the sword reached him, Theo stepped on the ground, releasing a powerful shock wave with his Thunderclap Fist.

The shock wave was strong enough to stop the pressure for a few seconds, so Theo struck the enemy's sword with his own before using his Telekinesis to neutralize all the Magic Power toward him.

After that, Theo leaped to the side, wanting to kill one of them.

All of them acted in a different way. The target raised both hands as he released an unusual amount of Magic Power, creating a wave that could destabilize one's grip.

Magic Saint Shield Style, Oscillating Magic Power.

This back and forth movement would cause Theo's hand and even body to move up and down.

On the other hand, the other four attacked him in their own way.

'Despite being a Supreme Rank Expert, they are clearly hard to deal with.' Theo understood why the Griffith Family deserved their reputation. All these Supreme Rank Experts seemed to know formation and teamwork. Even their individual strength was far above the Supreme Rank Experts from the terrorist side.

However, their opponent was Theo.

His target looked like the one with Magic Saint Fist Style, but Theo suddenly stopped and turned around, pointing his left hand toward the other four.

"This is…"

"!!!"

All of them lowered their vision, finding a Magic Power fluctuation around their stomachs.

"Not good!"

They used their own Control to cover their body with Magic Power, but Theo's Magic Power had exploded, launching them away.

All four of them rolled a few times on the ground and started coughing.

"That is…"

"Perfect Control."

"Perfect Control."

Both Nella and the Mythical Rank Expert dropped their jaws as they never expected that Joker actually had Perfect Control.

After seeing them fall to the ground, Theo formed four swords on top of them and lowered them down to kill those four as this was the biggest opportunity he had so far.

Unfortunately for him, the Mythical Rank Expert acted first and struck all the blades with his own, shattering the Magic Power. "You guys move! You're not strong enough to face him. I'm going to handle him myself."

The five Supreme Rank Experts had no choice but to follow his instruction. It was clear that Theo was above them, so it wouldn't be wise to fight him more than this. Hence, Nella was now surrounded by seven Supreme Rank Experts.

"That is if you have the power to do so!" Jeff's voice finally reverberated in their ears as numerous vines started coming out of the ground. They all had a diameter two times bigger than that of a human's body. Their movement was like a whip, forcing the Mythical Rank Expert to avoid it altogether.

"Apologize for the late entry. I'll handle the Mythical Rank Expert. In the meantime, you should eliminate the Supreme Rank Experts first. I can clearly see that they're not your average person."

Theo nodded in agreement as he leaped to Nella while saying, "I'll help you deal with this guy. I don't know how you fight, so I'll handle six of them and you kill them one by one."

"No. I can take care of three of them easily. Don't underestimate me." Nella raised both hands.

"Whatever. I only want them to die." Theo raised his sword as their backs were facing each other. "Let's do this, shall we?"

"Yes."
