God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 569 - Final Battle

[Objective: Free for all. Destroy your opponents and pillage their tokens!]

Theo stood up while looking at the dots that reappeared on the map. There were five dots creating a pentagon with the same amount of distance.

The arena was a small plain near the lake where they had only a few trees around.

Whether he was fortunate or unfortunate, the dot on his right suddenly approached him. As if responding to his movement, the person on his left also came toward him, trying to surround him.

"…" Theo fell silent and closed his eyes for a second, not planning to leave.

The first one to arrive was a brown-haired young man.

"I am lucky." The guy smiled when he saw Theo's appearance. "I don't know if you know me or not, but I will introduce myself. I am Lorenzo! Welcome to the family, Theodore Griffith… Unfortunately, this is where your journey ends."

Lorenzo arrived in front of him while pulling his sword out. "Asura Strike."

The blade released a red-colored aura as it moved toward Theo.

Theo raised his spear as if he was planning to confront him, but he suddenly stopped.

"!!!" Lorenzo stopped himself for a second before realizing it was just an illusion. He hurriedly slashed the illusion to destroy it and turned around as Theo appeared behind him.

"Ha!" Lorenzo used the previous momentum to release an even stronger swing to hit Theo.

Theo furrowed his eyebrows and utilized all his strength to strike the sword, but Lorenzo still easily launched him away.

"You're powerful…" Lorenzo smirked before denying what he said. "But not strong enough to withstand my brute force."

Theo landed on the ground safely before he instinctively leaped into the air before turning around, finding a bald man wielding a huge axe. The handle's length was similar to his spear, but instead of the tip of the handle, the sharp curved blade was on the side.

"Ramming Force." The bald man waved his axe from the side, releasing a powerful gale that swept the ground, trees, and all the dried leaves.

Some of the trees collapsed while the ground was left with nothing but dirt.

"Luka." Lorenzo narrowed his eyes.

Luka smirked and said, "You have your fun here… You should invite me."

Before Lorenzo did anything, twenty Magic Bullets hovered around Theo as he split them to Lorenzo and Luka.

Seeing the incoming Magic Bullets, they hurriedly retreated a few steps back before finding the bullets curved and followed them.

"…" Luka clicked his tongue and spun his body, waving his axe to create a mighty gale that destroyed the Magic Bullets.

At the same time, Lorenzo swung his sword to cut the air behind him. Surprisingly, the air was cut and stretched down as if a hole appeared in the middle of nowhere.

Theo soon lost control of his Magic Bullets as they were absorbed into the black hole.

After that, another hole appeared and transmitted all those Magic Bullets back to Theo.

"That is…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows while using his Telekinesis to pressure his own bullets and destroy them. He landed on the ground safely while looking at Lorenzo in amusement.

"There it is… Lorenzo's Space Ability." Luka smirked in excitement. "The only reason you can be in that position is due to this ability…"

"It's my power, so what is your point?"

…

Meanwhile, Sheira slammed the table and shouted in excitement, "There it is! Lorenzo has just used his Spatial Ability. He has one of the rarest affinities in the world, Space Affinity! With this power, he stays at the top the whole time.

"No one has forced him to use this power in this competition yet… And he used it to block Theo's attack? Is he that wary of him?" Sheira turned to Leonardo.

"Who knows." Leonardo chuckled. "All I can say, if you observe the entire situation, you will realize Theo has taken care of three people in the previous round. That alone is enough for him to take some precaution."

"I see. This will be an exciting mat—"

Leonardo suddenly stopped Sheira from talking as he added, "Well, you are still forgetting two other people…"

Sheira turned to the screen and gasped.

…

Theo, Lorenzo, and Luka were standing in a straight line as their positions became perfect targets for another person.

Suddenly, a crescent-shaped white light flew toward them, stretching over a hundred feet to the sides, cutting all the trees down.

Theo, Lorenzo, and Luka raised their weapons to the side, blocking this white light. It didn't carry too much force because it spread too far, but it was enough to clear all the trees from its direction.

They all found a person floating two inches above the ground. Her feet were completely limp as they were wobbling around depending on her movement, but it was clear that she was the one who attacked them earlier.

The female was none other than Lorenzo's rival, the strongest female swordsman in their generation, Mara Guerrero.

"I hope you can forgive me for intruding on your battlefield." Mara smiled. "I may not be able to use my posture to gain my previous strength, but I can assure you that I will win this competition."

Before they could react, Theo raised his left hand and used his Telekinesis to the fullest. It turned out there were ten arrows coming toward him and Theo deflected it to Lorenzo.

Seeing those arrows, Lorenzo cut the air again, creating a small gate that absorbed the arrows.

Another gate appeared above Luka's head as the latter took a step back and waved his axe, blowing all the arrows toward Mara.

Suddenly, Ignazio appeared in front of Mara while placing his hand on the ground. "Heavy Infantry."

Ten figures covered with full-body armor emerged and formed a line, blocking all the arrows.

With the arrows falling down to the ground, the atmosphere became tense as all five top participants met each other on the battlefield.

Those, who watched them from behind the screen, couldn't help but suck a cold breath as they sensed the same tension as those five people.

The final battle was about to begin.
