God of Tricksters

Meanwhile, Marcell was sitting on his seat leisurely, waiting for this operation to restart. They would need to cross the mountain anyway.

But he soon found out that there was some sort of trouble when Major Sam and Alea returned as they quickly reorganized every single of them.

Unfortunately for them, this wasn't the only problem they needed to face. Marcell's vision was blinded by a red light for a split second as he took a look at the radar.

There was another caution.

Unlike the previous reading, a huge dot was approaching them. "This… A huge monster is coming our way."

He quickly came out of the cubicars and shouted, "Emergency."

"!!!" Major Sam turned around and asked, "What happens? Also, I need to see the radar to make sure of something."

"Y-yes. But something big is coming here." Marcell shouted. "I don't know what it is."

Major Sam wanted to check the Daemon Group's movement, but when he heard that information, he soon cursed out loud. "Daemon Group… Are you trying to stop us?"

The wind started gathering and spinning around him, lifting him into the air. With such height, Major Sam could see what happened and found the same monster Theo spotted, the Ground Dragon.

"The Ground Dragon is here!" He shouted.

"!!!" Alea and the entire group gasped, not believing what he said. After all, the dragon was supposed to be one and a half-day away from here.

However, he soon fell silent when he saw numerous blue lights coming from below, hitting the dragon and taking its attention.

After that, Theo made his appearance and flew to the sky, planning to fight the dragon.

"What? He is alive?! Daemon Group should have killed their targets by this time… Yet, Theodore Griffith is still alive. No, he is fighting the dragon. In that case, that Daemon Group should have left and he is not their target." Sam pondered for a moment. "Did he hire the Daemon Group? But…"

Not having enough information, Major Sam quickly flew forward. At the very least, he knew that the Daemon Group had left the vicinity since they were skilled enough to take care of the rest in an instant.

"I am going to help Theodore Griffith fight the Ground Dragon! Daemon Group should have left the area, but you are in charge…" Major Sam pointed at his deputy. "Be careful."

"Yes, Sir." Because of various variables that had yet to be determined, his deputy decided to march with extra caution.

Major Sam, on the contrary, arrived at Theo's position in an instant.

"Theodore Griffith!" Major Sam called his name out loud.

Theo glanced at him and said, "I need to take down this dragon."

"I need information from you first. What is your relation to the Daemon Group?"

"Huh?" Theo's eyebrows raised as he realized what he was talking about. "You mean that group wearing a black robe and weird mask?"

Major Sam shook his head. "Nevermind. It seems you don't have any knowledge about them. And where are the others?"

"They all got killed," Theo reported to him without hesitation. He didn't say he killed them, implying that the Daemon Group was the one who killed the rest.

"…" Major Sam wanted to ask many things about it, but he also noticed there wasn't a single body left in the area.

Of course, Theo had taken care of their bodies, especially the four that he killed. When he wanted to clean up the rest, no corpses could be found.

At first, he thought Major Sam and the Eilric Family were the culprits, but the Daemon Group seemed to be the one who did it.

"You want to know many things from me and I also want some information from you. Unfortunately, it's better if we kill this dragon first." Theo shook his head. "If you don't mind, please leave this dragon to me. I'm planning to kill it."

"Are you insane?"

"Yep. At the very least, I want to make the one who plotted the entire scheme suffer a little bit. Gotta rip their wallet apart." Theo shrugged.

"Are you sure you don't need help?"

"Ehm, I'm not sure. I am trying to test my power right now." Theo glanced at the dragon that gradually opened its mouth.

Its throat began to shine with orange light.

"Since I made you talk too much, I will take this one…" Major Sam moved in front of him and waved both hands. The wind started gathering, forming a circular sphere. "Wind Sphere."

The sphere reached thirty feet in radius, allowing him to cover their bodies completely.

The Ground Dragon released its fire breath.

The intense heat increased the temperature around them. The fire hit Major Sam's Wind Sphere, but the Wind Sphere flowed in all directions, dispersing the flame effortlessly.

Unfortunately, the fire ended up hitting the forest below them and turning some trees into charcoal while the rest was still burning.

While taking the full brunt of the fire breath, Major Sam said, "I will remain in the plain for the time being. I hope we can talk about a few things on the way home."

"Agree." Theo nodded a few times. "In that case, it's time for me to go."

"Also, the rest will be joining you soon. I can control the soldiers, but you may need to convince the Eilric Family again," he said as the breath stopped, allowing him to retract the shield. He then turned around and flew away while saying, "Show me what you are capable of, Mister MVP."

"…" Theo shook his head helplessly and signaled Agata on the ground.

Agata had prepared for it and raised both hands, summoning the smoke again to cover the dragon's vision.

Theo summoned his clone and flew together to the dragon.

"Let's see how strong this dragon is… It doesn't have speed, while its strength comes from its weight. In that case, the monster should have a powerful defense." Theo took a deep breath as he flew to the dragon.

Roar.

The dragon obviously didn't like the pink smoke and released an earth-shattering roar.

The Sound Wave blew the smoke away.

"No way…" Agata tried to control it, but the smoke soon dispersed.

Fortunately, Theo and his clone were already close enough to the dragon's head.

Cannon Blast energy covered their spears as the two Theos struck the tip of the dragon's head, trying to give more inertia force.

"Cannon Blast."

Bam.

The energy created a powerful shock wave as the attack contained not only his Cannon Blast but also his Telekinesis and External Flow as well. At the same time, Magic Bullets hit the head, boosting Theo's first attack.

Roar.

The dragon wailed as his head slightly turned to the right because of the force from Theo's attack.
