God of Tricksters

"Haaa!"

The lobster furrowed his eyebrows and waved his hand, sending another gale from the side, blowing the sword strikes away.

Rea had expected that the gale could neutralize her attacks, so she immediately approached the lobster before swinging her sword to his neck.

The lobster easily used his claws to block this sword. After that, it spun its body, hitting Rea with its tail.

Rea also moved her tails and used them as a cushion, softening the hit from the tail. Even so, the power still blew her away, allowing the lobster an opportunity to attack her with her gale.

Fortunately, she wasn't fighting the lobster alone. Right before the lobster utilized its wind, Ruth shot an arrow, forcing the lobster to stop his action and block this arrow instead.

The gale neutralized the arrow, but Rea managed to stabilize her posture and charged back during that time.

The lobster furrowed his eyebrows and formed another gale in front of him. Unlike Felix, the lobster didn't seem to have many options due to him maintaining several tornadoes to carry the trash. So, Rea and Ruth still had the chance to take down this monster.

She tried to slash the lobster, but the gale in front of him acted like a barrier, deflecting her sword. After that, the lobster waved both claws to slap her head.

Rea managed to duck down at the last moment and spun her body. Her nine-tailed fox form was undone as a pair of red horns appeared on top of her head. Her fangs grew and her eyes turned red.

"Mythical Creature Summoning, Battle Armor, Oni Form!" She kicked the lobster in the stomach and turned her leg into a sword.

"!!!" The lobster felt like its stomach was being pierced by a sword. This would be dangerous if his carapace wasn't hard enough.

The lobster still didn't say anything even after this kick. He simply tried to grab Rea's leg and smash it.

Rea hurriedly retracted her foot and took a leap back, regaining some distance. After all, Ruth had finished charging her arrow.

The lobster seemed to be able to sense it as well and turned around, finding Ruth shooting her arrow to the sky.

Suddenly, the arrow turned into ten, multiplied into one hundred, and fell down, raining him down.

The lobster hurriedly formed another gale to stop it, but surprisingly, the arrow stuck to his gale as if the gale itself had a form.

The lobster was shocked, not understanding how she did it. But the gale truly stopped as soon as those arrows fell down as though his gale had died.

No matter how hard he tried to move it, he couldn't control the wind anymore.

And Ruth didn't stop there.

One last arrow had been charging in the sky.

The lobster remembered that Ruth was the one destroying their mountain. And this was the same attack she used from back then, albeit much weaker because she didn't have the time to recharge it all the way.

Even so, the arrow's power broke apart the 'death' gale and reached him.

The lobster used its claws to block it, but this arrow actually managed to make a small dent in his claw.

It was surprising because his claws were extremely hard, even harder than his carapace. Yet, a woman far weaker than him managed to make a dent in the hardest part of his body.

"…" The lobster was amazed, confused, and angry at the same time.

Rea, on the other hand, used this time to regain her bearing and reapproach him. This time, she changed her form again, turning into a dragon. She gathered all her power into her sword to the point it felt like she became a dragon head, ready to devour the lobster.

The lobster was angered thoroughly because Rea kept disturbing him. If not for her, Ruth couldn't leave this mark on his body.

That was why the lobster finally moved from his original position after so long. And he actually leaped back as if to distance himself from Rea.

Thinking the lobster was afraid of their attacks, Rea continued forward before realizing something was wrong when the Magic Power fluctuated at the place he stood earlier.

"NO!" Rea suddenly felt a gale that pushed her feet a bit, tripping her. At the same time, the lobster's claw punched her face, wanting to destroy her head.

Rea instantly changed her form into Genbu Form, using the shield to block this punch.

*Bang!*

The shield blocked the punch for a split second before it shattered into pieces. Luckily, Rea used that force to stop her body and immediately threw herself to the side to avoid the punch.

"Kh." She fell to the ground, looking at the lobster that seemed to be planning to kill her first.

But this was the time to turn around the situation.

"!!!" The lobster suddenly widened his eyes and turned around, seeing a blue-haired man appearing before his eyes. He opened his mouth for the first time due to the shock. "You—"

The man didn't wait for him. He struck the lobster in the stomach with all his strength.

"Magic Saint Fist Style. Induction Fist!"

*Bam!*

The punch alone created a powerful shock wave that shook the battlefield, startling everyone as if a huge explosion had occurred.

That punch wasn't an ordinary punch. It was proven by a crack that appeared on the lobster's carapace.

The lobster spat some water before crashing to the ground a quarter mile away from him. Still, when he was flying, he still waved his claw, sending forth a gale to deal with this man.

Surprisingly, the man also did the same, creating a tornado with his fist.

"Magic Saint Fist Style. Twister."

The tornadoes neutralized each other, creating silence on the battlefield.

Rea, who was next to him, dropped her mouth to the ground because she had never expected to see this figure on the battlefield.

"You…" Rea gulped down. "Why are you here…"

This guy would never appear here because no one ever knew his location. And even if his whereabouts was known, he wouldn't go all the way here because of Theo.

Yes. He was none other than Theo's father, Ray Griffith.
