God of Tricksters

The magma dragon had bathed himself inside the magma coming out of the ground. Theo didn't expect he could find magma underneath the ground, considering this place was a bit far away from the volcanic zone.

However, Magic Power itself wasn't scientific, so he didn't put much thought into it.

The dragon kept using his magma to coat every inch of his body, but there was no fluctuation of Magic Power at all. He knew Theo would have to use his Magic Power to protect himself from this magma.

Yet, it was surprising that Theo didn't come out after all this.

He knew his body more than anyone else, so there was no way Theo could find a place to hide in his body. But the reality was different.

"Hmm?" The magma dragon narrowed his eyes, saying, "There is no one on my body?"

The magma dragon decided to lower his magma again, looking confused. The World Tree also heard what he said and became even more confused.

The magma dragon glared at the World Tree and shouted, "You must be the culprit. You were the one releasing that Magic Power in my body so that you had the reason to rip my skin apart. I shouldn't have trusted you.

"That human has long gone. If I had agreed to your proposal earlier, you would have destroyed all my scales." The dragon gritted his teeth, feeling betrayed.

"I didn't do anything. That fluctuation of Magic Power didn't come from me."

"Yeah, yeah. You kept saying that because you tried to fool me." The dragon let out a roar in anger. The tree kept pushing him this whole time, so he couldn't contain himself anymore.

The hesitation he had previously disappeared and the dragon flapped its wings, flying toward the tree.

"I should have killed you first! Both you and that human are Saints, so it's enough if I only need to kill you!" The dragon waved his hand, gathering the magma on his claws.

The World Tree wanted to explain it, but after the dragon refused to listen to him so many times, the tree knew it would be impossible to convince the dragon. At the same time, he also didn't have the strength to defeat this dragon and Theo. So, he had to retreat no matter what.

The World Tree never expected Theo would crush his plan. Those plants still fought the soldiers and killed so many of them. But the humans weren't losing after they understood what kind of enemy they were facing.

All the veteran commanders knew what to do when facing an unfamiliar enemy. This was the reason why Theo asked the base to prepare five veteran commanders.

Although the plants had some advantages against the humans, they gradually lost their advantages after the commanders figured out their abilities.

This battle would be their loss sooner or later, considering Haivan and Nicholas had brought their army forward. Since both of their armies were still fresh, they managed to stop the plants' advance while the remaining three armies took care of the normal monsters.

Seeing this situation, the World Tree knew his best option was to retreat. It was impossible to destroy humans anymore due to the lack of momentum.

Without ordering his people to retreat, the World Tree began to extend its root to the back, moving away.

Although his size was gargantuan and a single move could cover a few hundred feet, it was impossible to escape from the dragon who was flying in the air.

Knowing he couldn't leave this place without taking care of the dragon, the World Tree sent two of its roots to capture the dragon.

The dragon increased its altitude but was unable to escape from the roots. In the end, the dragon flew back to the ground and stomped it, calling the magma again.

Sensing the heat coming up, the World Tree positioned his roots carefully, avoiding the heat. At the same time, the branches began to spread, surrounding the dragon.

Wood Prison.

Unlike Theo, who could slip past the branches, the dragon's size wasn't small, so he had to destroy this prison.

However, the dragon was still a magma dragon. The roots might be able to stop him for a moment, but the branches couldn't.

He excreted the magma out of his body before shaking his body violently as if trying to get the liquid off his body. But this time, the liquid was magma.

The liquid touched the branches and melted them instantly. However, this was nothing but a distraction.

The moment the dragon released his energy and spread his magma around, burning the wood, the tree used his Thorn Spikes and Golden Leaf in succession.

The Thorn Spikes came out of the branches and stabbed the dragon. Unfortunately for him, this dragon had a thick scale. None of the spikes could pierce through its scale, resulting in the tree using the Golden Leaf instead.

The branches stabbed the golden leaves and moved toward the dragon, planting the leaves on the dragon's scales.

"Huh? What is this?" The dragon widened his eyes while staring at the golden leaves all over his body. Suddenly, the leaves began to explode.

"!!!" The dragon suddenly felt sharp pain jolting his mind as he let out a cry. "Aaaahhhhh!"

The dragon was supposed to be tough, yet, the attacks seemed to be useful. Theo was confused at first, but when he realized some of the golden leaves had entered the crack, he realized the trees were taking advantage of their size to destroy the dragon from the inside.

The scale might be thick, but it didn't change the fact they could enter the crack and get closer to the dragon's skin.

Theo observed their fight carefully, knowing their respective weaknesses. They didn't realize Theo was still waiting for them to injure each other until they became weak. At that time, he would return to the battlefield and kill both of them.

It was a perfect plan, except for one thing.

There was another dragon flying toward them. Theo thought the dragon's foolishness was the reaction to the higher being's interference, but it wasn't. The real reaction from reality was this mysterious dragon.
