God of Tricksters

After grasping a bit of understanding of his weapon, Theo and Agata continued their way to their destination. Theo kept using his sword all the time, trying to polish his movement.

He kept tripping or acting like a robot during the journey due to the different approach a sword had.

Normally, he would have enough range to attack the enemies from afar, resulting in him taking a smaller step. But due to the sword's reach, he needed to take a longer one or he wouldn't be able to hit the enemies.

He couldn't help but trip or swing the air every now and then. Luckily, only Agata and Ava witnessed all this incident, so the embarrassment disappeared not long after.

Agata also kept adjusting her power that had been strengthened by the shawl. Her goal was to prevent herself from using too much power unnecessarily.

However, it was easier said than done. She easily became too tired due to the continuous usage of Magic Power. Of course, she also used her Uerila Dimension from time to time, trying to master the power of illusion.

Because of these two, the journey became a lot slower than expected. Even Ava noticed it and asked Theo about the schedule.

Theo only told her there was no change of schedule, considering their original plan would give them two weeks to hunt in their destination. This was enough for Theo and Agata.

Since Theo didn't plan to change his plan, Ava simply followed him, taking the liberty to get stronger by eating the monsters Theo killed.

They crossed several forests and plains to reach their destination. However, this provided them with some experience they needed for their training.

In just a month, Agata's level had risen to 450. It was slower than they expected, considering they had finished both missions from the War God Family so quickly, but they didn't regret it.

At the very least, Agata might be able to reach level 455 before going back.

At the same time, Theo had also reached level 420. He increased his Magic Power further to the point it allowed him to stop caring about his Magic Power consumption for a while.

After a month, they finally arrived at their destination with only one week to spare.

They were sitting in front of a campfire while thinking together about their next hunt.

Theo also took the liberty to check his level.

"So, what's the plan for tomorrow?" Theo asked.

"I haven't finished yet. There are several interesting places, but I don't know whether we should go there or not. There's also the fact we need to find a Supreme Rank Monster'¦

"I doubt this place has one, so I'm searching for an alternative. After that, we need to schedule and plan the return trip, making sure we're on schedule." Agata shook her head while looking at her screen.

"Do you need my help?" Theo asked.

Agata fell silent for a moment and shook her head. "No. I'm good for now."

"Still, I'm curious about what you're planning to do after this." Agata glanced at him with squinted eyes.

"What do you mean?" Theo tilted his head in confusion.

"I'm talking about the international mission. Now that we have completed the quota for the individual missions, I want to know where you're going next."

"Hmm'¦ I have two places: Russia and the US. I still haven't decided which one."

"Russia?" Agata raised her eyebrows.

Theo knew her feelings and asked with a slightly teasing smile. "Jealous?"

"Not really. Do you want me to be jealous?" Agata shook her head. "You have your boundary, I have mine. We respect and trust each other'¦ That's enough for me. Do you want me to be clingy?"

"Nope." Theo raised his hand. "Anyway, if I go to Russia, I plan to learn from the empress as the reward of the mission. If I go to America, I will have a better deal and a safer mission. So, I'm still thinking about them."

"Fair enough. Are you planning to bring me too?"

"Yeah. You're my assistant, so you're going to be beside me."

"Hehe." Agata chuckled. "Anyway, I want'”!"

Before she finished her words, a male's voice echoed in their ears.

"Help!"

Agata picked up his presence immediately and soon noticed five people were approaching.

"There are five people'¦" Agata frowned and turned her head around, wondering whether it was a trap or not.

On the other hand, Theo realized something and asked, "Don't you think this voice sounds familiar?"

"Hmm?" Agata doubted it for a second and recalled her memory. Suddenly, she dropped her jaw and said, "Lorenzo."

That name was all it took for both of them to stand up and check.

The moment they took a peek at the people, they saw five people walking toward them.

One of them was Lorenzo, carrying Felice on his shoulder. She had several wounds on her body, but they didn't seem to be caused by monsters. When they looked to the side, there was another injured guy, and they knew this guy well. It was Ignazio.

Soon, Theo and Lorenzo's eyes intertwined.

"Lorenzo!" Theo sucked a cold breath, never expecting to see him in this state. His face was tired, but there was a sense of relief reflected on his face when he saw Theo.

"Theo'¦" Lorenzo smiled and panted. "I'm glad'¦ I'm glad that I met you here."

"What happened?" Theo checked whether they used a skill or not and confirmed this wasn't an illusion. Never in his wildest dream did an image of this strong and influential man would be reduced to this state appear in his mind.

Lorenzo struggled to move toward him while carrying Felice. When he was standing before him, he hugged Theo with his other hand and whispered.. "We were ambushed."
