God of Tricksters

"Do you think you can leave?" The Poison King clicked his tongue and immediately spread his poison toward Theo, trying to stop him from leaving.

However, the poisonous gas suddenly shook as the tip of the poisonous cloud was tilted to the side due to the sudden impact from the side.

"Huh? My poisonous cloud?" The Poison King was surprised that someone could hit his poison that was supposed to have no physical form.

When he turned around, he saw Ruth pointing her invisible bow at the poisonous cloud as if she had just shot it down.

"Don't even think to prevent him from leaving. Everything has its form and weak point… Just like you, I'll shoot your poison down." Ruth stated as her eyes glowed as if she could see the form of the poisonous cloud, treating it like a living creature. She finally took the first step toward becoming the world's strongest hunter.

"It seems that I need to kill you here first. As expected, you were the one that shot down my people back then. That's good. Now that I've got the opportunity, I won't waste it." The Poison King turned to Ruth, planning to overwhelm her.

Meanwhile, Marzio immediately went to Ergene and said, "Young lady. It seems that you are the leader of these people…"

"You can tell?"

"The strategist should have the ability to discern the leader, no?" Marzio smirked. "I can direct them according to your wish, but this is a group I'm unfamiliar with, so I'll be needing your command. You will become the general and I'll be your strategist. What do you think?"

"You even know that I have a general giving me a blessing?" Ergene was impressed, but at the same time, she expected the current leader of the War God Family to have this kind of ability.

She suddenly raised her hand and shouted, "I'll take the command on behalf of our leader."

The rest of the group only smiled as they recognized Ergene's ability. Theo had specifically told them that Ergene would always be the second-in-command whenever he wouldn't be there to lead them personally. Even if Felix was Theo's right hand man, he would still follow Ergene's order.

"Good," Ergene shouted as the opponent before her was stopped by the expert from the War God Family for the time she had to reorganize the group.

Her eyes had a complete view of the entire battlefield like that of a real general before she called out a name. "Akbar. I need your expertise. Mark each person's target!"

"Got it." Akbar acknowledged the command as the book in his hand started getting its pages flipped continuously before many names came out of the books, flying toward the enemies.

All those names suddenly stuck on top of their heads.

Marzio was startled that Akbar knew all their names too. After all, the names on top of the enemy's head were their names.

"Those are your targets. Felix will kill the rest and join hands with Ruth later." Ergene explained.

"So, that's how it is… To think that my nephew's group is so reliable… I can't lose either." Marzio smiled, feeling excited. A golden light appeared on his left palm before turning into a giant compass. "Let's do it, shall we? Star Compass."

"Divination Start! Star Link."

The golden compass suddenly released many golden strings and attached themselves to Theo's group as well as the experts he brought here.

Suddenly, Marzio waved his fingers a few times.

"!!!" The people from Theo's group felt as if they were ordered to move according to Marzio's way. Although they didn't know much about Marzio, he was still the current head of the War God Family, a superpower family known for their strategy.

They tried to move around according to the instructions while bringing their opponents with them.

But to their surprise, they had made a circle with Felix and Akbar in the center.

"This is…" Ergene was stunned because she realized that Marzio could actually see the whole battlefield far better than her.

And to everyone's surprise, Akbar was actually in the middle instead of Chris, who was able to help others with his support ability.

"Why did you place me here?" Akbar complained to Marzio.

However, Marzio only smiled and replied, "Doesn't your fighting style require you to be in that position?"

Akbar was startled, not expecting Marzio to know his power in their first meeting. "You…"

"It's the strategist's intuition," Marzio added, making sure that Akbar didn't say anything.

Akbar couldn't help but smile. "It seems that the War God Family's head deserves his reputation."

"Then, heed my command. Kill them all." Ergene finally gave the ultimate command. All of them instantly acknowledged that order as if Theo had given them the order personally.

…

On another battlefield, Theo was fighting against Ray.

Ray was releasing a huge amount of Magic Power to Theo, trying to rip him apart. But the latter easily absorbed everything as if Ray was pulling his punch.

"What's wrong? You don't want to hurt me, eh, Father?" Theo smirked, looking down on Ray.

"Who are you?" Ray gritted his teeth. Seeing Theo's face indeed made him hesitate to fight him because of the trauma that remained in his heart.

"Who am I? You already know, right? I'm your son, Theodore Griffith." Theo smiled.

"You…" Ray clenched his fists, trying to stop him from spouting all those lies.

They pointed their palms at each other. A burst of Magic Power as well as an eruption of black energy immediately enveloped the area.

However, a snap soon echoed in everyone's ears as their power suddenly vanished into thin air. After that, a figure appeared before Theo and kicked him away.

While getting pushed back, Theo looked at the appearance of the intruder and smirked, "Oh, you're finally here."

"What, you?" The one appearing earlier was none other than Theo, who came from another battlefield. He gasped as he finally recognized this person. Even the Reality Eyes showed the same thing, answering all doubts.

The Theo that no one recognized as the real Theo smirked when he saw what people recognized as Theo.

How could they not realize each other when they were the exact same person? In other words, the one before him right now was the real Theo that had died in Thersland. Instead of reincarnating, it seemed that he managed to revive himself.

"Yo… We finally met." The reincarnated Theo smirked and glared at him as if releasing all his pent-up emotion. "Faker."
