God of Tricksters

"You don't have time to worry about him," Theo stated coldly while waving his hand down, ordering his chess pieces to attack the dog.

The queen was the first one to make her move. As she opened both her arms, a few golden lights appeared around her.

All golden lights flew forth like a beam, making a parabolic movement and raining the dog down.

The dog used three roads to create a layer of shield.

Road of Fortification.

The dog frowned as those lights actually managed to crack his roads. Theo became more and more like his friend that could hook everything.

The king piece raised his sword and slashed downwards, releasing a green-colored sword strike.

When it touched the roads of fortification, it didn't destroy these three roads. Instead, the green light turned into vines that spread in all directions. The vines were following the shape of the roads and gradually making their way to the base of the roads, which was the dog's body.

Knowing it would be dangerous if the vines touched him since he didn't know what they could do, the dog ended up letting the roads go.

The vines ultimately fell down because of the roads' disappearance, but the knight had been moving toward him when he was focused on the other pieces.

As soon as the roads disappeared, the knight emerged from behind the roads while thrusting his spear.

The dog's body shook as he raised his paw, trying to knock it down.

Unfortunately for him, the knight's spear actually pierced through the paw.

"Aaaahhhh!" The dog was in pain, but the spear gradually disappeared because of the roads on his paw. Realizing it was just an illusion, the dog could see the knight's true form. It turned out the knight was wielding a sword instead of a spear.

And with the change of attack range, the paw ended up missing him, allowing the knight to reach the dog's body.

The dog hurriedly released all his power to make sure the knight couldn't kill him. But the five pawns that had been waiting for their turns finally made their move.

They surrounded the dog and approached him recklessly as if they were doing the same thing as the other pawns.

It seemed Theo planned to change their forms again, so the dog spread all the roads in his body, stabbing everything around him.

"Do you think I will fall for this trick?" The dog claimed with confidence, knowing what had happened to his partner. There was no way he would fall for the same trick.

Theo smiled. He had been waiting for this.

Instead of a promotion, Theo had another use for these five pawns. Three pawns were not enough, but five were certainly strong enough to take down a World Class Monster.

He waved his hands, stimulating the elements inside them.

"Fire, Water, Ice, Lightning, and Earth. Explode!" Theo commanded them.

The elements in their bodies started to revolve like crazy and became unstable.

"!!!" The dog widened his eyes in shock because this wasn't the same as the one Theo used against the chimera. 'This is… an elemental… explosion!'

A huge explosion occurred as it continued to expand until the elemental explosion created a giant ball of plasma, burning the dog.

Theo panted a few times, satisfied with this result. He might still have some Magic Power, but his Order and Authority energy were almost empty. If he continued fighting them, he might lose, so he was happy that the two died in this attack.

But as one would expect from a World Class Monster, they were resilient and wouldn't give up no matter how hard the situation was for them.

"I'm not done here!" The chimera suddenly came out of the encirclement and headed straight to Theo. He actually sacrificed his already useless left hand to escape from the encirclement.

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in shock. He was about to kill the dog, but the chimera had to ruin it. He turned his bracelet into a sword while the chimera had the upper hand by ambushing him.

Both of them slashed at the same time as the chimera's momentum made them pass each other.

The chimera and Theo were gritting their teeth as if they didn't like the result.

The chimera actually slashed Theo three times during that split second while Theo managed to release two strikes because he was too late. But due to the chimera's injury, those three strikes weren't that fatal.

Even so, Theo was annoyed because there were two sword wounds on his body now. The one on his waist wasn't that deep, but a lot of blood still flowed out. What he was worried about was his left arm.

The wound was a bit too deep to the point it cut the muscles. Theo tried to move his left hand but to no avail.

It seemed he wouldn't be able to move it anymore for the duration of this battle.

The chimera's condition wasn't that good either. Theo might be one step late, but he managed to block one attack while inflicting a bigger injury due to the chimera's weakened body.

The chimera had to accept his condition as his right leg fell down.

Yes, Theo managed to chop off his right leg. With this, the chimera couldn't use his one leg and one hand, while Theo also lost the ability of one arm.

It was clear that they were heading straight to the path of mutual destruction.

The chimera was annoyed by this result. He never expected that Theo would be able to fight them to this point.

He didn't know Theo had fought against multiple World Class Monsters. That accumulation of experience gave him a lot of advantages in this battle.

Now that he had started realizing his power more and more. He also got used to the energy from the jade Theodon gifted him, Theo's strength might be close to the Frost Saint's at his peak.

This was what Theo wanted. Not only did he raise his levels, but he also brought back a lot of experiences.

He was planning to get to the lightning dragon's level, but he was satisfied if he could reach the level between the Frost Saint and the Lightning Saint before the battle against slime.

Theo took a deep breath, maintaining his poker face. He didn't have too much time since there was a possibility of the third monster appearing.

Theo and the chimera knew that they were planning to finish everything here.
