God of Tricksters

"I'm going to kill that bastard!" Rolf screamed while clutching his head, releasing his Magic Power and killing intent.

However, a burst of laughter suddenly echoed in the room.

"Hahaha, as expected of my nephew. He is good."

Rolf turned around and waved his hand, sending a wave of Magic Power to blow this person away. However, the next second he realized, he was the one flying and crashing to the wall.

"Gah!" Rolf spat a mouthful of blood. Even though crashing to the wall wasn't that painful, he experienced extreme pain inside his body as if someone tried to rip his organs apart. He laid down while clutching his stomach.

It was at this time Rolf finally raised his vision, trying to take a good look at who did this kind of thing. "Who are you?!"

"I am—" When he was about to answer Rolf's question, he spun his body and raised his palm, catching another person's hand.

The clash cracked the windows and the floor, but what made it even more surprising was when both of them said, "Huh," at the same time.

They just realized each other's identity.

"Demonic Granny?"

"War Shadow?"

"Why are you here?!" Both of them shouted and released their Magic Power at the same time because they were not supposed to be in this place unless they planned to do something big. And this big event was related to Theo, considering he just vanished from this place.

"I am here to beat this bastard!" Surprisingly, they pointed their fingers at Rolf in unison.

"Huh?" They became confused again, never expecting their interest to be the same.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man came to a realization and asked, "You… Are you Theo's teacher?"

"As expected, you are aiming at my disciple! Do you think I'm afraid of you?!" Lightning started covering her body as she prepared to blow him away.

"I'm not afraid of you either. If we fight here, this entire building will disappear in an instant…" He sneered as if asking her to take this out on the other side instead of this place.

Even Theo's master knew that it would be problematic if she used her power here. She thought for a moment and reappeared in front of Rolf, who couldn't even move his body due to the pressure from the two.

"W—who are you?!" Rolf panicked as his brain refused to work in this situation.

She extended her hand, planning to place her hand on top of Rolf's head.

Rolf quickly raised his hands to stop her, but both hands were launched to the ground as if there was a powerful force that repelled him.

"To think there is someone who tries to threaten my student." She snorted and released her lightning from her hand to Rolf's head.

The lightning spread all over his body to the point Rolf began convulsing and wailing in pain. "Argh!"

"This is just a warning to you since I'm in a bad mood." She harrumphed.

Suddenly, the blood burst out and scattered on the floor. Rolf looked down and found the skin on his hand was shredded apart by the lightning, leaving only the red flesh for his entire lower arms.

"Argh!"

Rolf's body shook uncontrollably as he tried to withstand the pain.

"As expected of the Demonic Granny, truly worthy of your nickname." The middle-aged man smiled. "To think my nephew has you as his teacher."

"Nephew… What?!" She stared at him.

Before she reacted, the middle-aged man had placed his hand on her shoulder. "This is just a simple warning. You dare to bully my nephew again, this group will cease to exist. You should be happy you just got a warning."

"Don't touch me!" She prepared to release her lightning to blow his hand away, but all the windows were suddenly covered by a black layer.

The room darkened and the two disappeared from the room right after.

However, they didn't go that far. They simply took the matter to the rooftop when they faced each other earnestly.

"What did you say? Your nephew?!" Theo's master frowned before realizing what was going on. "From his mother's side!"

"Correct."

"His mother came from the War God Family…"

"It seems you don't know about it. Well, even us just realized it not long ago." He shrugged while looking at her from top to bottom. "Still, using your lightning to stimulate his brain and shaking his organs as if ripping them apart… Then shredded only his skin. Demonic Granny's reputation is well-deserved. I'm in awe."

"Shut up! What is your intention in coming here?!"

"Oi, oi. I'm here just to see my nephew for the first time and confirm it with the family." He raised both hands nonchalantly. "Well, if you are here to watch over him until he is ready, I think it's fine for me to return straight away."

"Hmph. I am more reliable than you."

"We don't know that yet…"

"You were running away for your life back then."

"I was only a Supreme Rank Expert. You should be ashamed to bully a junior like me."

"…" The two stared at each other before the middle-aged man took a step back. "Either way, I am already satisfied with the development. I just wanted to check my nephew for one last time before returning to Italy and ended up following him after seeing how interesting his plan was. To get free money by meeting them for a while… Even a business consultant doesn't get that much. Haha."

"He is my disciple. That's all you need to know."

"I know, I know. I'm surprised that you're making your move right now. I thought you were just going to observe the situation since it's not your job."

"I sensed you."

"Ah, a Mythical Expert who you thought wanted Theo to be his disciple…" He chuckled, knowing the misunderstanding. He continued, "Well, I will be sticking around this place for a month or two to watch his progress. After that, I will return to Italy since I have served my purpose here."

"Flowery words. Just say you want to bring him back to the War God Family. He has rejected the Griffith Family after all."

"That is something he needs to choose. The former master, his grandfather, wanted to bring him back, but he didn't want to let his mother's incident happen again, so he ultimately decided to leave the decision in Theo's hand."

"That incident…" She furrowed her eyebrows and sighed. "So, his mother is Valkyrie."

"Yep. Anyway, I need to warn the one below once again to make sure he remembers it.." He waved his hand and disappeared again.
