God of Tricksters



The veins on Mason's forehead became visible once he saw that smirk. Despite seeing through Theo's weakness, he still couldn't do anything.

In fact, he was shocked that Theo could use the same abilities. Although it was true that the ability was far too weak compared to him, Theo's brain allowed him to outsmart him in that area, allowing his ability to fight something beyond its rank.

However, he might still underestimate Theo's talent.

Once he had seen the effectiveness of the multi-layer Magic Power, Theo's brain was formulating a few paths he could take.

"This… I will call this Multi-Layer Magic… This ability has a unique trait. Combining the two or more different flows of Magic Power is an overwhelming ability." Theo said inwardly. He couldn't help but remember the knowledge about the flow of Magic Power.

'Magic Power has a lot of uses if exploited correctly. Each purpose has a different flow.

'For example, if I want to form a shield or a barrier with my Magic Power, the Magic Power will be circulating in laminar flow, allowing it to form a solid and reliable barrier. The Magic Saint Fist Style has a swirling flow for the Twister and a raging wave for the Burst.

'However, there is something lacking from the Griffith Family. In order to use this ability, one couldn't have an element in their body like me and Nella.

'But the elements have their respective flow as well. A swirling flow can only be applied to an element in a liquid or gas state, such as fire, water, and wind. But if it's used on an Earth Element, the rock will just end up becoming brittle. That's why they need a laminar flow.

'Still, one person can only have one element. Though, there is a genius that has shocked the world by having multiple elements. And once he grows up, he becomes one with the Element Authority…'

Theo's expression changed. The person he was talking about was none other than the Heavenly Sovereign. It was clear that the Heavenly Sovereign had this kind of ability, and he was actually the clue to Theo's new ability.

Theo used the Mirage World to copy people's abilities. The concept became the foundation of his new technique.

Then, with the ability to imbue an element to Magic Power granted from his Authority, he could replicate all kinds of elements with different kinds of flow.

Last but not least, he combined these two abilities with the thing he had just learned, the Multi-Layer Magic.

Theo couldn't help but smile as if he had just found the formula to take the Multi-Layer Magic further. And the only one who could have this ability was probably him and the Heavenly Sovereign.

The Magic Saint didn't know what Theo was thinking, but his smile truly frustrated him.

Although he was beaten by that power earlier, it didn't change the fact that Theo had a big weakness.

He jumped into the air, trying it once again.

Theo pointed his palm at him.

The Magic Saint furrowed his eyebrows, not knowing what Theo was planning. But it seemed that Theo didn't plan to launch a sneak attack this time.

After all, a giant red fireball appeared in front of him. Without wasting any seconds, Theo actually shot the fireball at him.

The Magic Saint wanted to know what Theo was planning this time. He had the experience of being tricked by the illusion earlier, so he was careful from another trick.

And one of the tricks was in front of him. The Magic Saint could see the two-layer of Magic Power from the fireball, albeit barely. Theo had used his illusion once again to cover the flow of Magic Power, but now that he had the experience, he wouldn't be fooled anymore.

At the same time, Mason felt something else. This might be the real plan from Theo.

It turned out Theo was following the fireball, using it as a cover to approach him.

'Hmm? He is using the fireball to cover my eyes, no it's to shift my focus to the fireball instead of him. If I block the fireball, I would have to face the two layers of Magic Power. If I loop around or avoid it, he will appear from behind the fireball and attack me.'

Mason was thinking about whether the first scenario or the second scenario was better for him. On the one hand, he had some confidence in fighting Theo head-on. There might be gaps of raw power between them, but as long as he could catch Theo off guard, he could deal serious damage to him.

On the other hand, he didn't know what Theo was preparing this time. If he made a wrong decision, he might be defeated quickly.

Fortunately, Mason seemed to find a method to surprise Theo.

'He wants to catch me off guard by focusing on this fireball, right? In that case, shouldn't I fall into his trap and break the fireball? But since I already know his presence, I can easily react to him and somehow hit him. This might be a chance…'

Mason's eyes flashed. Now that he had got a brilliant plan, he immediately moved forward and covered his hands with four layers of Magic Power.

After that, he grabbed the fireball and ripped it apart like a bun.

"Haaaa!" Mason roared. He had infused the fireball with his own Magic Power, harmonizing it with the second layer of Theo's attack. This way, even if he ripped the fireball apart, the second layer would remain intact.

But to his surprise, the moment he opened the fireball, a violent gust suddenly burst out.

The fire and the wind instantly fused together and created an overwhelming fire vortex.

'No way.' Mason widened his eyes in shock. He wanted to leave, but it was too late. The fire vortex had expanded quickly and became a raging fire tornado, swallowing Mason.

"Burn to cinders." Theo smirked. That was right. He and the Heavenly Sovereign were probably the only ones that could use this ability. Using Multi-Layer Magic and imbuing each layer with a different element to form an even more powerful ability.
