God of Tricksters

Roar.

Theo's attack slightly pushed the dragon's head, albeit leaving no mark on its scale.

"Seriously?" Theo gritted his teeth. "That attack is among my strongest…"

"Theo!" Agata called his name out loud when the dragon's eye flashed.

Theo launched himself to the sky, avoiding whatever the dragon planned to do.

At the same time, his clone made his way to the dragon's right eye to destroy it, blinding the dragon.

Unfortunately, it wasn't possible because the dragon turned its head while closing its eyelid, protecting the eye. And the head hit the clone, launching him to the body.

Bang.

The clone crashed to the body's scale but managed to retain its form.

Theo clicked his tongue and pulled his spear back.

He took a deep breath and pointed the spear to its head.

The scene of when he used his Cannon Blast and concentrated it to one thin line like the extension of his spear flashed in his mind.

"In that case, let's try the strongest piercing power I have…" Theo gathered all his energy to the brim. As soon as he could use his Cannon Blast again, Theo released the move in an instant.

The Telekinesis became the funnel to shape the Cannon Blast and concentrate it to a very thin line.

That concentrated power flew straight at the dragon's nose and clashed with the dragon's scale for a moment.

The Cannon Blast started to disperse, but as he expected. Now that he had more control over his energy, that strike became even stronger and somehow pierced through the dragon's skin.

"That attack…" Agata widened her eyes in surprise. "He is concentrating all his power within one single line to gain the most powerful piercing power… If it's not because the wound is too small compared to the dragon's body, it will be very painful.

"Still, this kind of control… He must be close to Master Level in terms of Control. But according to the analysis, in the competition, Theo still hadn't reached Practitioner Level, let alone Master Level. This guy… The way his strength is increasing doesn't go with the norm… Even his past record can't handle this type of improvement.

"Has the competition stimulated his talent even further?" Agata drew a gasp and her body started shaking in excitement and fear. "Is this the union of the War God Family and the Griffith Family?"

Unlike Agata, the dragon obviously didn't feel that attack because compared to its giant body, Theo was just like an ant stinging his skin. "Hum."

Instead of roaring in pain, the dragon raised its head and glared at Theo, trying to strike him down.

When he opened his mouth to let out his fire breath, a wave of attacks hit him. There was lightning, fire, ice, wind, and earth hitting the dragon's head. All of those attacks exploded at the same time, creating enough force to knock the dragon's head down.

Roar.

The dragon felt offended because he almost killed Theo if the earlier attack didn't happen. It lowered its vision and found many people coming at him.

Alea was commanding this group from the ground as she shouted. "Release all your power. No matter how small it is, we need to wound this dragon. One wound at a time and this dragon will go down sooner or later."

Due to him killing fifteen people from the Lange Family along with Sihan, only twelve people came to them.

As Major Sam said, he stayed on the plain and ordered his soldiers to search the forest to see the clue about the Daemon Group. Meanwhile, the Eilric Family decided to do another thing.

Because of Alea's blunder, Theo's life was almost taken away. Hence, they wanted to protect him a little bit by spreading in the perimeter to watch out for the Daemon Group and any other potential attackers. After all, there must be people that brought the dragon here.

And they suspected those people were still around this area. If they could catch them, this should make the matter even. Although they never had the duty to protect him, they truly needed to act since he was with their young miss.

Seeing the cover fire, Alea pulled both swords hanging on her waist and ran forward.

On the way, she maintained eye contact with the dragon. She had created several simulations in her mind to defeat this dragon, so she waved her left sword without hesitation. "Let's not hold back. Theo is planning to kill it, but…"

"Second Labour, Devouring Hydra."

Alea released all nine hydra heads to the sky, making their way to the dragon's head.

"Theo, we are here to help," Alea shouted from the ground while her hydras circled around the dragon's head and tried to bite him.

Crack.

Their teeth began to crack and shatter because of the hardness of the dragon's skin. However, Alea tried to bring down the head by circling around its head.

Unfortunately for her, the dragon's strength was beyond her imagination. It didn't even budge.

Roar.

The dragon let out a loud roar and stomped the ground.

The foot shook the ground and released a powerful shock wave to its surroundings, blowing the trees.

The residual shock wave continued to Alea's group.

The fighters and the knights quickly made their way to the front, shielding the rest of the group, especially the remaining healer and magicians.

Agata also faced the same situation as she raised her hand, planning to build a shield. Fortunately, Theo landed in front of her first. His back looked so broad at that time to the point Agata gulped down.

Three tombstones emerged from the ground as Theo formed a triangular shield in front of him and leaned it to the top, redirecting the shock wave to the air.

The same happened with Alea.

"Forti—" When she was about to form the Fortitude Shield, Theo landed in front of her to shield her. "Three Great Defense."

The shield covered them from the shock wave completely.

"!!!" Both of them widened their eyes and looked at Theo's serious expression as if he planned to do something.

Theo's head turned around and said to the two girls at the same time.. "I have a plan."
