God of Tricksters

"We've never done something like this, right?" Alea asked with a gentle smile.

"Indeed." Theo agreed and observed her.

"I hope that you don't hold back." Alea raised both swords.

"Who knows. Maybe you should try your best to draw all my power?" Theo smirked.

Alea took a deep breath. Although she didn't admit it, she knew Theo's strength might surpass her imagination.

Hence, she planned to go all out in the instant they started.

Theo began the fight by summoning twenty Magic Bullets.

The moment she saw the Magic Bullets, she rushed forward, trying to close the gap between them.

However, Theo had enough time to shoot his Magic Bullets, stopping her.

Alea frowned when she realized the gap wasn't enough for her to slip through them. Hence, she stepped to the side and tried to loop around him.

Theo's calm expression remained unchanged as the Magic Bullets followed right behind her.

Alea raised her right sword and planned to cut them down, but she suddenly jumped upward.

"!!!"

Alea was taken aback as soon as another wave of Magic Bullets came out of the ground.

'He's hiding his real Magic Bullets behind him and releasing them to the ground while those on the surface are just a distraction…' Alea sucked a cold breath. This was just the start of the battle and Theo had already played the mind game.

She pointed her sword to the front and formed a red shield before her, blocking all the forty Magic Bullets.

But Theo didn't stop there. Alea needed to turn around to deal with another thirty Magic Bullets.

"Tsk." Alea clicked her tongue, spun her body, and waved her sword, creating a flame pillar to burn the Magic Bullets.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

The Magic Bullets exploded in succession while Theo took this chance to teleport to Alea.

He had used his Magic Augmentation to boost his Magic Power Expansion and covered his spear.

Alea had a hard time dealing with the number of the Magic Bullets and still needed to handle Theo, who came with his strongest power. She didn't have a chance to even use her skill to block this attack.

Ultimately, Theo struck her hard enough to the point he pushed her swords to her chest before blowing her away.

Bam.

Alea crashed to the ground, but this wasn't the end of Theo's attack. There was another wave of Magic Bullets that he had been preparing this whole time.

It was the Magic Bullets that had been covered with more Magic Power and win, creating stronger Magic Bullets.

All those twenty bullets flew to the ground, causing a big explosion.

However, Alea managed to get away from it, albeit barely. Luckily, she blocked Theo's spear with the body of her sword, not the edge, or she would have been cut because of her own blades and had no way to dodge the bullets.

As soon as she gained some distance, she spun her body and waved her right sword upward, creating a long crescent-shaped red light that cut everything in sixty feet.

Theo didn't even put his spear as he snapped his finger and disintegrated the light with his Illusion Construct.

'Hmm.' Theo frowned and remembered the skills Alea used.

Skill: Fortitude Shield (C)

Effect: Allow the user to naturally draw the body's energy to release a stronger strength.

Skill: Moon Flame Wave (B)

Effect: Allow the user to release a flaming crescent-shaped wave that's capable of cutting many things and burning the rest.

At the same time, Alea also remembered the skill Theo had used during their joint mission. She wondered how much stronger he had become.

After releasing the Moon Flame Wave with her right sword, she cut the air with her left sword, startling Theo.

"!!!" He couldn't help but fly away, knowing that it was dangerous for him to be there. He had seen this attack when she fought Lyovkin, so he knew what to do.

Skill: Stealth Magic Sword (B)

Effect: Release a thin Sword Wave at the same size as a string.

The moment she finished releasing those two attacks, Theo lifted his finger as the ground underneath Alea emerged from the ground, turning into a pillar.

He had learned the basics of Sense of Touch in the last three months, so lifting Alea wasn't that big of a problem.

However, Alea seemed to have noticed what he was doing and immediately waved her sword down, cutting the pillar into two.

Theo had predicted this and sent his Magic Bullets through the ground to hit her.

'Did he want me to cut the pillar, so he could shoot me down?' Alea frowned, realizing that she was still moving in Theo's hand. She needed to do something special to break free from Theo's control.

She formed a shield to block the Magic Bullets, but the two half-pillars suddenly moved toward each other, crushing her.

"!!!" Alea widened her eyes and blocked them with her swords.

She soon noticed something was wrong. Even though she was blocking the pillars with her swords, she could swing her blades to the inside.

This meant Theo used something else other than his Sense of Touch.

Although she didn't know what it was, she hurriedly freed herself by releasing more Magic Power before spinning her body, striking the Magic Bullets that came at her. She couldn't afford to be hit by them after all.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

The Magic Bullets exploded in rapid succession.

"This is great." Alea smiled, knowing that this was a fight where none of them held back. Still, she didn't want to lose to Theo.

She raised her hands and released a wave of fire bolts. This was the same technique that took down Lyovkin, so she wanted to see how effective it was against Theo.

Unexpectedly, Theo also summoned his own Magic Bullets and shot all the flames, trying to stop the firebolts from exploding on the ground.

Boom.

Boom.

She and Theo looked at each other, thinking the same thing.

"He's (She's) good." Alea and Theo smiled at the same time.

"Even so, I won't lose to you.." Alea leaped into the air, trying to fight him above the ground.
