God of Tricksters

On the other side of the battlefield, the only female Mythical Rank Expert from the Skyward Mercenary was slashing all sorts of plants that emerged from the ground.

"Haahahahahaha!" She was laughing hysterically while chopping down the plants. She suddenly looked down and found a vine filled with thorns emerging from the ground.

She instantly blocked the vine with her shield before swiftly cutting it down.

"You are weak, very weak. As expected of an illusion, you can't even create something hard with this plant affinity. It's even a wonder how you can even become a Mythical Rank Expert. Are you leeching off others?" The girl shouted while grinning, mocking Jeff.

"I thought you were the silent type, but it seemed I was wrong. You are the one with a poisonous tongue and insane character. If I were to draw you, I would have scrapped the previous painting to add an evil smile on your face." Jeff maintained his calm while drawing the plants with his brush in the air, causing them to appear.

"You are talking nonsense." She gritted her teeth. "This is your last time to apologize to me. If you do that, I'll kill you painlessly."

"If I end up dead anyway, there's no need to beg." Jeff smirked. "Besides, you should be the one to apologize to me and start acting cute. I might forgive you and kill you instead of humiliating you."

Jeff waved his hand a few more times and summoned another vine through that drawing. The drawing in the air looked like a vein, but it was just a rough sketch with a brush. After all, there was no way he could create a complete drawing just for one attack since it would take a lot of time.

Meanwhile, he could listen to Chris' piano, allowing him to get a boost in his physical abilities and rhythm.

While enjoying the music, he completed one drawing after another.

"I'm waiting…" Jeff smirked.

"Shut up! Since you want to die so much, then I'll make sure you suffer the extreme pain." The woman raised her shield as the energy gathered around her shield, forming a small half-sphere that completely protected her from all sides.

Shield Charge.

She rushed forth with the shield. The ground that touched the barrier ended up getting pushed back, making it look like she was plowing the field. At the same time, the vines that tried to stop her couldn't do anything, allowing her to eventually catch up to Felix.

"I got you!" She smirked while slamming her shield to Jeff's face.

Jeff narrowed his eyes and raised both hands, blocking this shield.

*Bang!*

"Kh." Jeff gritted his teeth, enduring the pain in his lower arms. However, he soon leaped to the side when he saw the woman almost slicing his arm.

He managed to escape, but the sword scratched his arm, causing him blood. Because he was wearing a sleeveless t-shirt, the blood flowed out and dropped to the ground.

"…" Jeff narrowed his eyes and raised his brush again while moving around to avoid getting killed.

"What's wrong? You are silent this time? Have I shut up that mouth of yours? Be a good boy and kneel in front of me." The woman kept provoking Jeff, taking pleasure in Jeff's condition.

"I don't care." Jeff shrugged and drew another plant. This time, he summoned a palm tree out of thin air, standing straight in front of the woman.

"!!!" The woman crashed into the tree because it was truly in front of her. She had no time to react.

"Kh." Her nose was bleeding due to the collision. Even though it looked like a normal palm tree, she could feel that it was stronger than she thought, completely different from the vines she had cut down so far. In other words, Jeff was getting serious at this point.

She wiped the blood off her nose and pursued Jeff again. "You motherfucker!"

"Can you be a little gentle like a lady?" Jeff sighed. "You might be fun as a bro, but you are certainly not my type."

"That's right. I'm going to cut your tongue first so that you won't be able to talk anymore." She became angrier while releasing her strength even further. Although the dome-shaped barrier required a huge amount of Magic Power, it was the most effective ability to chase after Jeff.

She learned that after running to the palm tree.

"If one is not enough, then I'll just increase the numbers. A thousand leaves can stop a bullet." Jeff smirked and summoned ten palm trees this time.

*Bam!*

A huge crash happened. The woman slammed her barrier into the palm trees. As Jeff said earlier, a thousand leaves could stop a bullet if they were stacked, so Jeff took that concept and built a barricade of trees to stop her charge.

However, the woman was like a bulldozer. The moment the barrier crashed into the tree, it stopped for two seconds.

The woman's eyes turned bloodshot as she roared loudly.

"Aaaaaaahhhhh!" She stomped the ground and gained a surge of energy from the lower body as she kept pushing forward.

She bent all ten palm trees with her own power as she kept pushing forward until the palm trees couldn't endure the pressure anymore and snapped.

"Really?" Jeff's expression became serious because these palm trees should be enough to stop a powerful's monster charge, but it seemed that his opponent this time was stronger than he thought.

"It seems that I can't win with normal methods." Jeff smirked, maintaining his calm. Although he wasn't a good combatant, he still had some ways to defeat her.

As soon as he chose his tactic, Jeff drew more than one hundred trees without summoning them.

"I've got you!" During that time, the woman kept rushing to him and finally caught up.

When she was about to slam the shield again, Jeff finally utilized his power and summoned all the trees he had drawn earlier.

"Forest Descent." Jeff smiled as the tree illusions that scattered in the region created a forest in the middle of a plain.

He ducked down and allowed the woman to slam the tree behind him, snapping it. Then, Jeff jumped around the artificial forest to hide, buying some time until the others could save him.
