God of Tricksters

Two days later.

Theo, Chris, and Coline had gathered in front of the teleportation circle, preparing for their trip to the other side.

"Okay. The trip will take a long time, so I assume that both of you are ready." Theo glanced at Chris and Coline.

"I've told my butler to handle all my problems, so you don't need to worry about it," answered Chris with a nod.

"I've brought many spices with me."

"Ehm, okay?" Theo was speechless with Coline's dedication. It seemed the food was a higher priority instead of the trip itself. "Anyway, let's go."

Theo's group entered the teleportation circle and went through the security check to pass the gate.

Without hesitation, Theo led them to a place where they could find a powerful monster.

They saw many monsters on the way, but they were just Hero Rank or below, so they could simply outrun them. However, they soon found their first Supreme Rank Monster.

Although it was just a test, Theo said, "Do you want to take on this monster? I just want to see your power."

"Well, you have seen my power, so I guess I'll let you see it again." Chris stepped forward as he summoned the piano.

The moment he played the piece, Theo could feel his energy revolve crazily as if they were incited by the melody. However, the best part was the sound wave that flew from the piano to the monster, knocking the monster again and again.

Eventually, the monster was covered in bruises and died.

Theo had seen this power. It was true that Chris could somehow stop a Mythical Rank Expert for a few minutes, but the offensive power was quite lacking. Even Chris couldn't end a Supreme Rank Expert in a single blow.

"So, that's how it is. I can understand why you're a support." Theo nodded in understanding.

"Yes. My sound wave is strong but not that strong. In fact, your attack power is already above me. The only reason I can hold out for long is because I can easily manipulate the sound wave with the Magic Power in the environment as well as create the enemy's rhythm, forcing them to move the way I want to.

"But in a few minutes, their body will get used to this melody and the effect won't be as effective. That's why this power I don't really like fighting in the front line." Chris explained.

"How about staying behind Ryo? Ryo can protect you while you're playing the piano to boost everyone's strength." Theo asked.

"That's a good idea. Normally, I'm one at the very back and don't get any people to protect me. But Ryo can only defend, so I think he's good to be a shield to protect me so that I can support everyone." Chris nodded with a serious expression, thinking it was going to work.

Theo understood his role completely and finally led them to another place to test their power.

But this time, Chris asked, "Actually, I'm more curious about your power. Although it's true that your strength is the same as Mythical Rank Expert… at least in terms of power alone, I want to see how you actually fight."

Theo glanced at the Supreme Rank Monster in the distance and raised his left hand.

Suddenly, the trees in their surroundings expanded. The branches extended themselves toward the monster, trying to kill it.

With the number of branches as well as getting attacked from all directions, the beast had a hard time reaching Theo. During that time, Theo turned the bracelet into a sniper rifle.

He pointed at the monster and shot it, releasing a powerful beam from the sniper rifle.

When the monster saw this attack, it immediately opened its mouth and let out a roar. The sound wave struck the beam. In normal circumstances, the power should be enough to cause Theo's beam to explode, but Theo was a master of Control.

Right when it hit the shock wave, the beam split into fifty and flew in all directions, looping around the shock wave. They then used the branches as a cover and pierced through the monster's body. Even if the monster could see them coming, it would have a hard time finding those small beams that moved skillfully between the branches.

Only when the monster died that Theo snap his finger. The branches disappeared, leaving only the monster. In other words, the branches were only an illusion that restricted the monster and obstructed its vision.

"So, that's how you fight without the facade of being a Magic Warrior… To be honest, it's harder to fight against someone like you since your Control is like that of a Magician, your tricky mind is like an Illusionist, and your strength is the same as Magic Warrior. In other words, if they want to fight you, they need to conquer those three problems." Chris explained.

*Roar!*

When Theo was about to reply, a monster's roar echoed in their ears. They turned around and saw another monster glaring at them from a distance.

It immediately rushed to them as if wanting to avenge the monster that had just died a moment ago.

Coline stepped forward while muttering, "Hmm… The size is not too big, but the skeleton is a bit tricky. The skin is quite thick, but… I see, I should use this one then."

Coline took out a cleaver as well as a sharp knife.

When the Supreme Rank Monster attacked her, Coline's eyes turned serious as she released some small cuts.

*Roar!* The monster let out another roar as if he he was in pain. Blood suddenly started flowing out all over his body as there were at least thirty cuts on the monster's body.

After that, Coline appeared behind the monster and struck the monster another thirty times. With those wounds, the monsters truly had no more strength left to fight Coline. It was then, Coline released rapid strikes that separated the meat, skin, and bones at the same time.

It turned out that all those strikes that Coline used earlier were just the preparation for this final attack.

"I don't know if I should be amazed by the fact that she somehow prepped the monster like this, or I should pity the monster that is dismembered alive…" Chris looked at her with his eyebrows twitching, feeling a bit disturbed.

"How about killing the monster first before prepping it?" Theo shook his head helplessly.

"…" Coline stared at them, speechless. She just wanted to show off his power but got told off in the end.
