God of Tricksters

Chapter 455 - Snatch

[Grab the fragment that contains the power of Death, and I shall assist you in taking the mummy down.]

"This sentence… It's a different person. Goddess of Death?" Theo widened his eyes in surprise. In terms of power, the Goddess of Death, Hel, should be stronger than Fenrir and Jormungandr. However, he was still confused about how she could help him. "You're kidding. There's no way you can help me."

[Miracle does exist.]

Theo was speechless by this sentence as he couldn't help but say, "Hey, that's quite persuasive."

"Still, why do you want me to do it in the middle of this chaotic situation?"

[It's because you're in the middle of it…]

"…"

Theo considered the pros and cons while fighting the wolf. As soon as he decided what he wanted to do, Theo turned around and ran toward Alea.

"Huh?" Alea was obviously bewildered when Theo suddenly approached her with a wolf behind him.

"Sorry, I really need to do something." Theo winked and disappeared, leaving the Alpha Mutated Wolf to Alea.

"What…" Alea widened her eyes and instinctively struck the wolf with both swords, clashing with his claws.

While Theo was contemplating his choices, Nadia and Nart had arrived in front of the mummy king and the wolf king.

"I want the mummy." Nadia walked slowly with a smile. She didn't forget to pay back his teasing earlier. "You are already old, so you can get the handicap one."

"Do you want to get spanked?" Nart pointed at the big sword on the wolf's hand. "That one seems to be good enough to beat you up."

"…" Nadia rolled her eyes as both of them couldn't help but smirk as if this was just a normal day for them.

Suddenly, Ellen's voice resounded in their ears. "Be careful. The big sword is an artifact. Commander Ivan, a Supreme Rank Expert, has been slain by that sword."

"An artifact huh." Nadia furrowed her eyebrows and looked at the mummy's crown. "In that case, that one is also an artifact."

"I can handle both of them if you're scared." Nart harrumphed and looked at the wolf.

"You are old… You should rest on the side."

"Hmph." Both of them suddenly snorted and leaped at the same time.

The wolf king slammed his sword down to hit Nart, but the latter covered his sword with his own wind, striking the wolf's sword with his thin sword.

His sword was even smaller than Commander Ivan, making one doubt whether it could hold or not.

However, when the two swords were about to clash, Nart's wind swirled like crazy and pushed the wolf's sword before even touching it.

The moment the two swords hit each other, the wolf's sword was blown away as the wolf's body was pushed back because of the momentum.

Sensing Nart's plan to strike him, the wolf king launched himself backward, away from Nart.

The wolf was shocked and looked at his sword. He was sure he had activated the power of the sword, but why could Nart overpower him…

"So, a Supreme Rank Expert has been slain by you… Judging from your power, you are a new Supreme Rank Expert and rely on that artifact." Nart smiled and raised his sword. "Sorry, but I have reached that stage long ago."

Meanwhile, Nadia also gathered her wind around her blade and struck the mummy. The latter formed a shield, blocking the glaive.

The wind dispersed together with the black-colored energy.

Nadia spun her body and sent a kick to the mummy's head while the mummy formed a black sword with the help of the crown.

The wind covering her foot and the black sword neutralized each other again as the mummy said, "You cursed woman. Don't think you can win against me."

"Hmm? Okay. Why should I think something that has been accepted as a fact?" Nadia tilted her head in confusion while leaping on top of him. She tried to grab the mummy's crown that seemed to be the source of his power, but the mummy had ducked down, preventing her from stealing his crown.

"You are not qualified to possess this crown, woman. Only I, the successor of the Great God Osiris, can wield it." The mummy harrumphed.

Nadia squinted her eyes and said, "You said something pretty interesting there. Osiris…"

Nadia's expression turned grim. She covered her glaive with the torrential wind again and swung it like that of a baseball.

She planned to blow the mummy away, but the mummy had realized her plan.

He raised both hands and covered it with the black energy. He caught the blade with his bare hands, which obviously confronted the wind's barrier.

If not because of the black energy, she would have obliterated his hands.

After canceling each other, the mummy king leaped backward to gain more distance, which turned out to be his mistake.

Suddenly, two figures appeared in front of the mummy. The first one was a masked man standing in front of him, while the other one was a red-haired man coming from behind.

Nadia slightly raised her eyebrows when he saw them but soon realized what had happened. Unlike Nadia's calm expression, the mummy gritted his teeth and extended both hands.

The masked man saw the incoming mummy's hands while extending his hand to the crown. This was the only time the crown didn't have the energy to supply the mummy in order to block Nadia's attack, so Theo believed this was the perfect time to steal it.

To everyone's surprise, the man let the mummy pierced his stomach while summoning the bandages to capture the red-haired man on his back.

"Boy, don't bite more than you can chew," said Nadia while shaking her head, looking at the man who was so daring to even challenge a mummy. Even without the artifact, the mummy had enough power to handle him.

However, she soon took back her words when the masked man suddenly disappeared, revealing another masked man behind him. The masked man had yet to get any injuries while the mummy had both hands occupied.

The masked man spun his body and went to the side, grabbing the crown and running away.
