God of Tricksters

"This is the end." The dragon gathered all his strength in his mouth. Just like Theo, he used his arrogance to fool his enemy. But the difference was Theo used his body to inflict damage on the dragon while the latter took advantage of the World Tree to trap Theo.

Seeing Theo unable to move, the dragon knew this was the perfect time to annihilate Theo.

But before he could release his breath, Theo's stomach started releasing a massive amount of Spiritual Energy.

"!!!" The dragon widened his eyes in shock and tried to fly to the side.

In that instant, a huge burst of blue light flew straight toward the dragon, barely hitting the wing.

"Kh!" The dragon gritted his teeth and saw his wing covered in ice. And surprisingly, he had been fooled this whole time.

When he looked at Theo, he realized Theo's dragon body was just an illusion.

"!!!" The World Tree was also stupefied when it lost its grip on Theo. He suddenly saw Theo's dragon body gradually turn transparent, revealing his human body without any scratch.

In other words, his scream, injury, and body were fake this whole time. Everything was just an illusion.

Instead of the Metamorphosis, Theo used his illusion ability to create a dragon body and used his Authority to make it real. And they believed it was real.

"Kh." The dragon gritted his teeth. He had been fooled twice and now he got some injuries. Although it wasn't that big of a deal for him, the ice that covered his wing was problematic.

He could melt it with his magma, but it would also make his wing, the most brittle part of his body, become even more brittle. Hence, if he melted the ice, Theo wouldn't have had any trouble cutting down his wing.

On the other hand, the frozen part of his body had disappeared. The rock skin might become a bit brittle, but his defense shouldn't lose against the World Tree in peak form. Even if its hardness decreased a bit, it was still extremely durable.

So, the magma dragon gritted his teeth, glaring at Theo. He couldn't accept Theo was able to inflict this damage even though it was two versus one.

Theo grinned. "Ah, I'm glad that you're my opponent. If there had been another monster like this tree, I would have been in danger. I'm glad the one coming this time is an idiot."

"What did you say?" The dragon roared while releasing a red Magic Power from all over his body.

"Stop it, Dragon! Are you going to burn me?" The World Tree warned the dragon.

Although the World Tree had a fire element, his heat couldn't be compared to that of magma. Even if he used his fire element to block the heat, the magma would still melt a portion of its body.

So, the World Tree had to move carefully if he didn't want to get hit.

The dragon, on the other hand, was fuming in anger. "Do you think I can stay calm? He is looking down on me. Don't forget that I am the mighty dragon. Humans should kneel before me."

The dragon flapped its wings before flying toward Theo. His body started glowing as magma began to come out of his pores.

Seeing this dragon, Theo couldn't help but smile. Even if he couldn't fight them together, he could still defeat them.

Without hesitation, Theo raised his sword before waving it down to cut the frozen part of the wing.

"Huh?" The dragon widened his eyes and glanced to the side as his stable form began collapsing due to the broken part of the ice.

He used his magma to destroy the illusion, but the part was already brittle to the point Theo only needed to maintain his Authority for a second to cut all of them.

"Aaaahhhhh!" The dragon screamed, feeling a sharp pain jolting his body. He hurriedly stabilized his form while waving his hand. The magma his hand excreted flew off his hand.

If Theo used his dragon form, this lump of magma wouldn't be that big compared to his size. But when he looked at this magma in his human form, it was like a huge boulder flying at him.

Theo pointed his palm at the magma and used his Twisted Reality to make the magma curve.

"!!!" The dragon was startled when he saw the magma flying away. But more importantly, Theo targeted the tree's root.

The tree hurriedly released a burst of flame to catch the magma while trying to hide the root underground. But it was too late.

Theo used his Telekinesis to stop the root, so the tree could only endure this magma.

"Dragon!" The World Tree released a high-pitched voice filled with anger. He had fed up with the dragon's rash attitude.

The magma that touched his root ended up creating a big hole in his root. And Theo used this opportunity to send the last blow to the root, cutting it.

With this, he had destroyed a total of six roots. All the roots that had been cut didn't seem to be able to recover in a short period of time. So, with this, Theo only needed to deal with four more roots and branches of this tree.

"Hahaha, you've got a good teammate, tree." Theo smirked. "He ended up helping me."

The World Tree wanted to release his anger as well, but if he didn't remain calm, Theo would take advantage of it. Just like the dragon, he might end up harming the dragon and it would give Theo a chance to defeat both of them.

The dragon also became silent as if he understood the significance of that root. He realized Theo had been talking brazenly just to anger him, using that temper to strike the tree.

Seeing how hard he injured the tree compared to him, the tree might be a harder opponent for him.

The dragon realized if he wanted to win, he had to let go of his pride so that the tree could be a vanguard.

But would his dragon's pride allow it?
