God of Tricksters

"Attack her. Don't give her any time to think." The summoner of the Skyward Mercenary commanded all ten monsters to attack Coline.

There were two Mythical Rank Monsters and eight Supreme Rank Monsters before her, but Coline couldn't really gain any advantage by targeting the eight Supreme Rank Monsters.

The summoner had positioned his two Mythical Rank Monsters to be in the front, taking her on. The first monster was a blue-colored ape that seemed to have an ice attribute that could neutralize her fire, while the second monster was a turtle that kept protecting the ape from his attack by using its barrier.

These two monsters kept her at bay while the remaining monsters attacked her from the side. All they did was maintain their distance and distract Coline with their attacks. None of them didn't care if Coline could dodge their attacks easily since they coordinated their attacks, restricting Coline's movement.

As for the summoner himself, instead of attacking Coline together with the Mythical Rank Monsters, the summoner stayed behind to protect the eight monsters from Coline's ranged attack in case he targeted them. This position was the perfect position to suppress Coline since she had been on the defensive this whole time.

"…" Coline squinted her eyes while jumping around to avoid the ape's punches.

Each punch contained so much power that it created a small crater. In just a few rounds, the battlefield was destroyed.

*Bam!*

Another punch struck the ground as Coline managed to safely jump away. Before the ape was out of reach, Coline waved her kitchen knife and released a flame wave that seemed to be able to burn the ape.

However, a translucent barrier appeared in front of the ape, blocking this flame. After that, the ape froze that flame and shattered it with a punch.

"You won't be able to defeat my sweethearts." The summoner smiled. "If only they send someone to help you, you might be able to defeat me. But as long as you can't destroy my turtle's barrier, you won't be able to win."

"Phoenix Fire." Coline waved her hand as a bright red flame came out of her body, trying to envelop both the turtle and the ape together. However, her attack was suddenly suppressed by a stream of water that fell to the ground.

The water came from one of the eight Supreme Rank Monsters and another volley of attacks rained her down.

Coline narrowed her eyes and raised her hand. "Culinary Magic. Summon, Pan."

A huge pan suddenly appeared before her as Coline grabbed that pan and struck this volley of attacks. The pan even had a blazing fire on the inside as if she was cooking the attacks itself.

"You are more annoying than I thought… but that doesn't matter anymore. I have understood their principle and will start cooking them." Coline smirked.

"Huh?" The summoner was confused, but Coline immediately leaped forward.

The turtle hurriedly stood in her way and summoned the barrier to stop her.

"I have seen through this barrier. It's only filled with Magic Power, so… I just have to cut it." Coline took out a huge sharp knife that was used to cut a tuna or other big sea creatures. "Enhanced Butcher."

Coline suddenly cut down the barrier thinly as if she was trying to filet a fish.

"What?" The summoner widened his eyes because this was the first time Coline destroyed the barrier.

The turtle hurriedly returned to its home, hiding inside its stone hard shell.

"Help him!" The summoner ordered the ape to make his move so that Coline didn't kill the turtle.

However, she had been waiting for him this whole time. As soon as she landed on the turtle's shell, she jumped up, avoiding the punch. After that, Coline climbed this thirty feet tall ape's hand.

"Come on. It's time to prepare you." Coline smirked and raised her giant knife. She even activated her X-Ray Vision to see the ape's bones and organs.

"Attack her. Stop her no matter what!" The summoner panicked because if Coline could easily cut the barrier down, she could cut the ape into pieces easily.

The other monsters tried to attack her from afar while the summoner finally stepped forward, trying to help the two Mythical Rank Monsters.

However, her aim actually wasn't the ape but the turtle itself.

When she saw the water coming to her, Coline hurriedly summoned a huge pot and caught all the water, putting it next to the turtle.

"No. Protect the turtle!" The summoner commanded again, panicking after realizing Coline's aim.

However, it was too late, Coline leaped off as the attacks rained the ape down, preventing him from doing anything.

Meanwhile, Coline reached the giant turtle and struck him from below.

Cross Slash.

This powerful attack launched the turtle into the air.

As if it didn't want to die, the turtle hurriedly surrounded himself with a barrier. But he suddenly felt an impact on his body.

When his head came out to take a peek at what was going on, he saw the pot filled with water inside the barrier. In other words, there was his body and the pot inside the barrier.

Coline smirked and released her Phoenix Fire. She asked the question to the turtle with a devilish smile. "Choose. A steamed turtle or a turtle soup?"

The turtle was horrified because the Phoenix Fire was so hot that the water had started boiling. His body also began to heat up as the cooking process seemed to have started.

He hurriedly opened the barrier to run away, but that was his biggest mistake. The moment the barrier was opened, Coline appeared next to his head with a giant butcher knife. "Thought so."

"!!!" The turtle was stunned, but before it could hide inside its shell again, Coline had struck his neck, cutting it down.

"I wonder if I should steam the turtle or make soup for the banquet of Theo and Agata's engagement…" Coline smirked while glancing at the ape as if she was him as another ingredient she had to prepare.

The ape truly feared Coline now because he could picture himself getting killed and turned into food by Coline. The ape's instinct told him to run without caring for the one who summoned him.

And it truly ran away… A Mythical Rank Monster actually ran away from Coline.

"Oi, you are a fucking ingredient. Don't you dare run. Never mind, I'll just roast you right away!" Coline gathered all her power and released a huge flame that could burn the ape into crisp.

The ape was in deep fear and hurriedly threw his body to the side to avoid the flame. However, that was also another mistake because Coline caught up to him with a tuna sword.

"Enhanced Butcher." Coline smirked and cut the ape's neck, killing it the same way as the turtle.

When she was about to dress the ape, she swung her sword to the side as the sword collided with a meta wand.

*Clink!*

"You bitch. What did you do to my beloved pets?!" The summoner finally reached her.

"They are just ingredients." Coline smirked. "And don't worry, I'll kill you later. After all, your summoned monsters will disappear if I kill you, right? I should prep them first."

"You… You monster!"
