God of Tricksters

After seeing how effective that attack was, Theo started doing it a couple of times with Alea, gradually ripping the flesh and skin apart.

The blood loss also forced the dragon to fall to the ground, not being able to do anything. In fact, the dragon actually died first before his head flew off.

As for the killer… It was obvious.

[Killed a Ground Dragon.]

[EXP+277,500]

[You have leveled up.]

Yes, it was none other than Theo. He had been aiming for everything. So, Theo killed the dragon, reinforcing his position as the biggest contribution of this expedition.

As soon as he killed the dragon, Theo landed next to Agata while wiping the sweat on his forehead and saying, "I guess the mission is completed. Have you taken a good look?"

"Ehm, I am actually wondering how much more you are hiding right now." Agata shook her head helplessly before glancing at Alea, who seemed to be cutting the dragon's head, as it made the dragon look bad when the head was barely hanging on his body.

Theo had nothing to do with it anymore since he couldn't touch the body or he would turn it into cards. "Now that I have finished, I think it's time to listen to your story."

"Yeah. We will go back first so as to avoid anyone hearing it… Unless you are comfortable to have them listen to our conversation."

"Hmm, maybe you can." Theo nodded. "I don't like the Griffith Family, but I am a bit neutral to the War God Family. I mean, even my mother, who hailed from it, is doing fine in the Griffith Family, not the War God Family, right?"

"Yes." Agata agreed and realized what he was up to. "So, you want to announce that the War God Family is your mother's family? I mean, it's good that you are announcing that, but you need to know that the moment other countries hear about it, you won't get their support."

"Hmm, isn't that your purpose in coming here?" Theo glanced at her in confusion.

"It's just my own selfishness, so don't tell anyone about it." Agata shrugged. "So, are you sure you want to release that information?"

Theo scratched the back of his head. "I need to apologize, I guess. I'm sorry for trying to test you when you are thinking about my well-being."

"It's fine. At the end of the day, I'm still taking advantage of your situation to satisfy my curiosity." Agata shrugged.

Suddenly, Theo got a notification from God of Mischief.

[You have finished the expedition, but boy, do you forget about that condition?]

"…" Theo scratched the back of his head, knowing which condition he was talking about. It was the condition to annoy people.

Although he did it to search for information, it ended up annoying Xavier. So, him lying actually broke the third condition placed by God of Mischief.

'I am guilty. I have no defense.' Theo sighed inwardly.

To his surprise, God of Mischief dismissed his problem immediately.

[As long as you understand that. I already said that it's fine to annoy people from time to time. However, there is a reason why I placed that rule. It's not affecting the so-called illusion, reality, or something along the lines. Instead, it's related to a more fundamental aspect. Unfortunately, I can only disclose this information when you reach Mythical Rank.]

[That's why I want you to avoid lying again. It is easy to lie and come up with such a ridiculous request, but it takes talent to not lie but not give the truth either… I just want you to be more careful right now.]

'I understand. Once again, I'm sorry.' Theo scratched the back of his head after getting lectured by God of Mischief.

"Theo?" Agata tilted her head in confusion, calling his name since Theo seemed to be in his own world.

"Ah, right?" Theo's body shook as he snapped back. "Yeah. What did you say again?"

"I just want to know where we should meet up later."

"I will let you choose the place. And if it's possible, can you do it as soon as possible?"

Agata thought for a moment and nodded. "Well, your birthday is coming soon, so I guess you are busy leveling up. Are you planning to reach the Supreme Rank even before your birthday?"

"Do you think it's possible?"

"No." Agata denied it without hesitation. "However, it's possible if it's next year. In this case, you are likely to use most of your time to level up. If you want to have an easier schedule that allows you to have some time to train, then it will be two or three years. You won't be the youngest Supreme Rank expert recorded, but your strength should be far above that person."

"Yeah. That's the plan. When I later leave this country, I will be around level 350." Theo nodded in agreement. "Also, you should better leave this country soon because I have another enemy besides the Lange Family."

"Do you mean the Faerie Group?"

"You know them?" Theo widened his eyes.

"Yep. Although it's not my doing, you can consider it a little present from the War God Family. They have taken care of the situation."

"I see." Theo looked down, removing the Faerie Group from his head. "Also, it's possible to return to this country after some time, right?"

"If you are talking about the Lange Family, the War God Family will help you take care of them. Of course, according to your way since they are your enemy. Seeing that you are planning to leave with this plan, I know that you won't be strong enough to destroy them by then. Hence, you can come back sooner or later as long as you get permission."

"Sure enough. Okay then, that's all I want to know now. We can discuss the rest after returning to Ark City."

"Yep. How about you go to the military guy first? I assume he wants to say something to you."

"Yeah. I have agreed to meet him." Theo turned around and left while saying, "I will talk to him for now."

Agata waved her hand with a smile before her expression turned serious as she glanced to the side, seeing Alea standing next to her.
