God of Tricksters

"Match starts!"

The moment they heard the Wind Emperor's voice, Levina immediately charged forward. She excelled in melee combat, so she thought she needed to get close to her enemies all the time.

Theo, on the other hand, raised his spear and pointed it at her with a smile on his face.

"Here I come!" Levina shouted as she threw a punch.

Theo furrowed his eyebrows when he saw the spinning wind around her robotic hand. It felt like she was using it as a drill.

In the end, Theo took the attack head-on with his spear alone.

"…" Theo was surprised with the power as it managed to push his spear back. Although she didn't break through his defense, her power managed to surpass his expectations.

'Hmm? That circular wind… acts like a drill to increase the penetration force. At the same time, the weight behind the robotic hand elevates this punch to another level. We should have around three hundred levels gap, so this is quite surprising.' Theo thought for a moment.

"Ha!" Levina shouted, trying to push him again.

"Your strength is good, but you're lacking the flexibility to do stuff. If your opponent doesn't care about your strength…" Theo said as he repelled her hand to the side, letting it slide on his spear.

This made Levina take a step forward, entering Theo's defense. After that, he hit her stomach with his knee before using Telekinesis to send her back. "You will be hit like this."

"Gah." Levina widened her eyes and landed on the ground a few feet away before coughing a few times.

"Sorry, but if you choose to fight me, I won't hesitate to beat you." Theo shrugged.

Levina took a deep breath as she smiled. "No. This is what I want…"

She charged toward Theo again with another fist.

"Your strength is good, but by no means it's the strongest." Theo smiled and raised his left hand forward.

His Telekinesis and Magic Power began to flow, creating a more powerful gale than the wind circulating in her hand.

However, the force turned out to be enough to blow her away.

"Kh…" Levina gritted her teeth.

"What you're doing is only using your wind power. You need to incorporate Magic Power and Control as well. I have even toned it down to the level that Nella used during the fight." Theo narrowed his eyes.

"…" Levina obviously knew Nella. She was one of the strongest contenders in the Grand Gaia Competition. Although her achievement was overshadowed by Theo, her strength alone was probably the strongest among the younger generations.

So, experiencing it firsthand couldn't help but make Levina excited.

"I see. I need to get stronger." Levina smiled as she walked toward him with both hands this time.

Surprisingly, when she put the circulating wind on both hands side by side, the wind assimilated and created a powerful tornado.

The tornado flew forward, planning to engulf Theo.

Theo simply looked at it for a moment before using his Magic Power Expansion. He swung his spear like a bat and released the extraordinary power of Magic Power Expansion.

The shock wave produced by it was enormous, destroying Levina's attack in an instant.

She even flew away. If the Wind Emperor didn't use his wind to catch her, she would have been thrown away outside the fence.

"Not holding back against my granddaughter?" The Wind Emperor smiled.

"You should remember what Nella used in the fight against me, right?"

"B Rank Skill." Levina was the first to answer. She looked at Theo with a determined gaze. "I'm sorry for showing you such a display. But if it's possible, can I continue the fight?"

"Sure thing." Theo nodded with a smile.

"Thank you very much." Levina thanked him as she charged again. This time, she waved both hands from the side.

The wind began to violently move toward Theo, trying to squeeze him to death.

Theo looked at this and said, "This one is a good thing to hinder your opponent… Though, it's still not enough."

After that, he waved his hand to the side, creating another gale to disrupt the one on his right.

With this kind of opening, he didn't hesitate to leave the place.

It was at this time Levina used all her power to increase her speed, launching her to Theo's side, kicking him from behind.

Theo suddenly turned around and kicked her foot, bringing it down to the ground. After that, he punched her chest and blew her away.

Bam.

Levina flew into the air for a few seconds before rolling on the ground.

"Kh." Levina gritted her teeth and looked up. "That's…"

"That's how your opponent will react if you make such an obvious move. It's easy to see that you're planning to make me move with that kind of power. So, your opponent won't hesitate to move to one side and strike you." Theo smiled.

"But is that how people from the competition will react?" Levina frowned.

"Yes. That's why you need to be one step ahead of them. You can use wind from all over your body, right?" Theo smiled.

"Yes." Levina furiously nodded as she stood up.

"Then, instead of using both hands, why don't you make it more obvious by using only your left hand or right hand?"

"What do you mean?"

"Here… I will show you." Theo started running toward her.

Levina immediately raised both hands, trying to cancel this attack with her power.

Theo waved his left hand as his Telekinesis started pushing the wind to her from the left.

Seeing this attack, Levina realized she needed to go to the other side to avoid using all her power to block this one. Hence, she jumped to the side, escaping from the wind.

Just like her, Theo also appeared from behind to attack her.

Knowing that, Levina immediately turned around to strike him. However, she suddenly felt pressure coming down and pinning her to the ground, resulting in a late reaction.

This gave Theo the opportunity to hit her as she also got hit by the violent wind from earlier.

"Gah!" Levina spun uncontrollably in the air before falling to the ground.

There was only one question in her mind. Why was there a powerful push from above when she clearly felt Theo's Telekinesis in his kick?
