God of Tricksters

Meanwhile, Theo, Chris, and Coline were traveling smoothly in the forest. He only had a month of hunting and his level had finally reached 750. As long as he filled up the remaining EXP points, he would be able to become a Mythical Rank Expert.

"As expected, traveling is the worst part. It takes a lot of time… If only we had another teleportation circle that directly goes to the area we want." Chris clicked his tongue, complaining.

"That's fine. After all, there are more monsters that I can use as ingredients." Coline smiled.

"You cooking maniac." Chris' eyebrows twitched as he was already fed up with Coline. She had been talking about food this whole time as if she was possessed by the food God.

Those questions were directed to Theo, but the latter always answered her like it was nothing. Of course, with the illusion.

Although the food was extremely delicious, he just wanted to enjoy the food, not get interrogated after eating.

'Now that I think about it, he has many subordinates with unique personalities and goals. Like Coline, who keeps asking about food, Rea, who pesters him with assistant jobs, or Ergene, who always asks for advice… Most of them have their own request for him when they join the group.

'He is the one who has been dealing with them while maintaining the balance for his training as well as other schedules. And he only has around four hours of sleep every day because a lot of his time is used for that.

'I guess the one who is most tired in the group is him. After all, he has been working like a robot this whole time.' Chris thought while looking at Theo's back.

He didn't know that compared to his time in Italy, Theo had been getting many rest days recently. And Theo used that time to fully recuperate from the tiredness. But it also showed how much pressure was in his shoulder the whole time.

After a while, Theo opened his mouth, saying, "If the situation becomes dangerous, please take my body away. After all, it's going to be a hassle later."

"I know. We have prepared to fight against many monsters at once. Hopefully, the enemies are only Supreme Rank Monsters." Chris nodded. "At least, Coline can defend you by herself. I'll just be staying on the back."

"You need to support me with your ability!" Coline glared at him.

"I know, I know. My piano will be used to increase your ability as well as release a sound wave to any monster that slips past your defense."

"But where can we find a good place to protect you? I mean, we can't afford to protect all directions."

"Indeed. I'm planning to go to a place with only a single entrance."

"And where is that?" Chris asked.

Theo smirked. "The Moniac Dungeon!"

"Ah, that one? The people called it a treasure trove, but a few years ago, someone found the secret, and after that, it became an abandoned ruin since the treasure had been completely cleaned up." Chris sighed.

"Yes. I am planning to go to the boss room!" Theo chuckled.

"Seriously? But then again, if we only need to defend one direction, it'll be easier." Chris nodded in agreement.

"Now that I think about it, who found the secret room?" Coline asked. "I am not from this country, so I don't know the news. The person who found it should be famous, right?"

"Now that you say it…" Chris recounted the information before looking at Theo. "Don't tell me. It's you?"

"Ahaha!" Theo chuckled, not answering him. However, the meaning was clear.

"You goddamn freak!" Chris clicked his tongue.

"I was visiting this place back then and ended up with some treasures." Theo chuckled. "Though, I got a good amount of money back then."

"I feel like everywhere you go, trouble will follow." Chris sighed.

Theo shrugged as it wasn't in his control.

The group continued their way to the Moniac Dungeon before Theo used three days to fill up the rest of the EXP to reach the Mythical Rank. It might be because he had gotten used to fighting the Mythical Rank Monster, but he truly felt that raising his level with Supreme Rank Monsters was too slow.

He remembered that the last time he hunted the Supreme Rank Monsters for levels was when his level was in early 600, so it was still quite fast back then.

Nonetheless, Theo managed to complete it in three days. While fighting the urge of the call, Theo headed to the Moniac Dungeon's secret room.

It was a familiar room to him, but he didn't pay attention to it anymore because he needed to take the call from the God of Mischief.

Due to his Blink and speed, the previous one-day trip he took to reach the bottom floor only took three hours to complete.

As soon as Theo reached the secret room, he threw himself into the center of the room and sat down. "I can't wait anymore. I'll leave everything to you!"

The moment Theo sat down and closed his eyes, Coline and Chris witnessed an unexpected power from Theo.

The Golden Magic Power leaked out of his body.

"Huh? Golden Magic Power?" Chris sucked a cold breath.

"It's said that when you train hard enough, you can have a different color of Magic Power, meaning that your power has gone beyond the extreme, AKA surpassing the limit," Coline muttered. "But all of them are supposed to be Mythical Rank Experts… He might be the only one to achieve this before becoming a Mythical Rank Expert."

"No wonder he is so strong. Did he have this power when he recruited me?" Chris asked himself.

However, the answer never came since Theo had entered his consciousness.

He returned to the golden hall with the God of Mischief waiting for him on his throne.

Looking down on Theo, the God of Mischief said with a cold tone. "You've come. I don't like wasting time, so let me see how far you have grown, Theodore Griffith."
