God of Tricksters

"Wha—" Theo's body was startled as he instinctively pulled out his hand, not understanding why Theodon did all this. He could see a huge hole in Theodon's chest.

It was empty because his body was made of Magic Power, but he could see Theodon's body starting to disappear from that hole.

His body soon became too weak as he fell into Theo's embrace. He gave Theo a big hug, trying to cheer for him.

"Reality might be too much for everyone, even for me. However, I know that you will do just fine. There's no need to understand everything right away. Experience things first." Theodon gave his last words.

Theo didn't expect that Theodon would do something like this. He thought Theodon would die peacefully by disappearing because he was out of power, but it seemed he was planning something else.

Before Theo said something, Theodon told him, "I'm leaving this reality to you, O' New Trickster, Theodore Griffith."

Theodon's body gradually disappeared as it felt like his body had passed through his skin. Theo was shocked by how Theodon chose to die, but he understood why he did it when he saw the notification from the system.

[Killing a Singularity Theodon.]

[EXP+480,000,600]

[You've leveled up.]

[You've leveled up.]

…

…

[You've leveled up.]

Theo instantly leveled up seven times. It was a great boost from Theodon, considering he might need two to three months to get seven levels in his current state.

However, everything was solved after killing a Singularity. It was amazing to know that he managed to skip seven levels, but Theo couldn't bring himself to smile.

Although their meeting was brief, Theodon had been very supportive. He looked at him like a senior, teaching everything he knew while respecting his boundary.

And in his last moment, instead of dying peacefully, Theodon chose to help Theo one more time by letting Theo kill him.

He was grateful but had no way to repay him.

Theo couldn't help but clench his fists. Theodon had entrusted this reality to him. If he allowed it to get destroyed by the monsters, it would mean he had failed him.

That was why Theo's expression turned grim soon. He knew the weight of this help and swore in his heart that he would make sure to protect this reality.

Theo lifted up his hand, staring at the new jade in his bracelet.

As soon as Theo regained his bearing, Theo looked at the north. He wanted to give Theodon a proper burial. But the best place to do it would be the hill where Loki waited.

But he truly had taken a lot of time talking, so he might have to go back first to inform the two kids first since he had an unfinished business.

To his surprise, the moment Theo returned, he found Lyrventh and Lydia awake as if they were waiting for him.

"…" Theo looked at these two kids with a confused look. "You two are up?"

"Thanks to you causing a lot of noises over there, I'm awake." Lyrventh pointed in the direction where Theo fought earlier. Still, he could feel the difference in power between the noises he had heard in the past and the ones Theo released during his fight.

Obviously, this was the first time he had heard such a thing.

Of course, when Theodon began talking about his power, he had applied his power so that Lyrventh didn't hear the content.

Even though Lyrventh looked like he was blaming Theo, he actually added, "Are you alright?"

It seemed he was worried that Theo was injured. He even noticed Theo having short breaths because he was exhausted.

So, he had to confirm Theo's condition.

"Hahaha, are you worried?" Theo chuckled and patted Lyrventh's head.

"I'm not worried, I just have to make sure you can hold your part of the deal." Lyrventh harrumphed and turned his head away, not wanting Theo to see his embarrassed expression.

Even Lydia chuckled when seeing them this way. At the very least, these two didn't go against each other anymore.

"I'm alright. You don't have to worry. It's just… I have unfinished business in the north. So, I'm going there for a bit. I don't think it will take a long time, but who knows." Theo thought for a moment and continued, "Anyway, I'll be bringing some meat for you guys so that you can have something to eat for a while. Don't worry, I'll return as soon as possible."

Lyrventh looked at him, annoyed. "I'm sorry to break this to you, but we're going with you this time!"

"Huh?"

Lyrventh wasn't someone who said something meaningless. So, he didn't understand how he wanted to follow him.

However, Lyrventh added some explanations to the decision. "I'm not sure, but I heard a voice from a different direction telling me that I should go with you this time. That's why I'm thinking of going."

"A voice from another direction?" Theo looked down, falling into deep thought. The one who knew these two's existence should be the God of Mischief.

He was a bit doubtful earlier, but after knowing this, he was certain. It seemed the reason the two kids were still alive this whole time was none other than Loki.

He didn't know the origin of these two kids, but it was certain that Loki had been protecting them this whole time. He didn't know what kind of plan Loki had for them, but it was clear that there were some hidden intentions.

Judging by how Lyrventh's ears worked and how Lydia had overwhelming positive energy, Theo could imagine some possible reasons why Loki protected them.

'It seems I have to bring them right now.' Theo let out a sigh before agreeing with the suggestion. "Alright. I'll be bringing both of you. I'll give you some time to wash your face and change your clothes."

"Okay!" Lydia smiled, happy that Theo chose to bring her as well. After all, she thought only Lyrventh was invited and that person was just worried that she couldn't do anything if left alone.

At the very least, they didn't need to be separated.

The two immediately tidied themselves.
