God of Tricksters-Novel

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

A series of shock waves shook the battlefield as the scorpion gritted his teeth, glaring at Theo. His body was already in tatters. His stinger had cracks all over it and there were a few holes in his body due to Theo's attacks.

It was truly harsh, considering all his attacks would be blocked by Clone Theo.

Of course, he had managed to force Theo to spend a lot of his Magic Power as well, but the condition didn't improve. He had exhausted most of his energy, while Theo seemed to have half his original amount. And more importantly, his body was covered in wounds, while Theo only had one burn mark and one scratch on his body. Their condition was simply not the same.

"…" The scorpion was trying to find a way to kill Theo, but he still couldn't find a way to do it, considering Theo could easily retract and summon his clone whenever he needed. At the same time, Alexa had been supporting Theo the whole time, enhancing his ability.

Theo was staring at the scorpion. Although his victory was already in his eyes, he wouldn't underestimate the scorpion until he killed him. After all, the monster before him was a World Class Monster.

"You are strong. I wouldn't be able to defeat you easily without any help." Theo narrowed his eyes. He admitted that he wasn't as strong as the World Class Monster yet.

But the scorpion noticed the hidden meaning. "You wouldn't be able to defeat me easily? It seems that you're confident in killing me even without help. I guess you will continue to exhaust me with that clone of yours until you're confident enough to take me down."

Theo smiled. "This might seem like a cowardly plan, but the result is the most important."

"Indeed." The scorpion had indeed underestimated Theo. He never thought that this human would give him this much trouble during the fight. He might hate Theo to the bone for killing him, but Theo was indeed a strong human, strong enough to be recognized.

The scorpion looked at Theo for a moment. As Theo said, the result was the most important. He would die today, but he still didn't stop searching for a way to drag Theo down.

Theo and his clones clapped their hands together. Suddenly, the echoes from the claps were amplified.

"!!!" The scorpion's body jolted while trying to figure out what kind of attack that was.

Surprisingly, other than the mysterious echoes, he couldn't feel anything from Theo.

"This is…." The scorpion thought it was just a bluff. Theo had been using this kind of bluff multiple times to trick him, so he wouldn't fall into his traps again. He hurriedly stomped the ground with his pedipalps, trying to counter the echo with the thunderous boom.

*Bam!*

Theo didn't react to this action. Instead, he simply waited for the scorpion to make his next move.

Confused, the scorpion gathered his Magic Power in his stinger before shooting Theo with the poison. Because of the condition of the stinger, the poison burst out from the cracks as well, causing them to spread in the air. In fact, this was actually deadlier compared to the original state.

Theo was forced to create a barrier to block all the poison. Meanwhile, Clone Theo used his Blink to appear in front of the scorpion while gathering his Magic Power into his fist, planning to crush the stinger.

As if predicting Theo's movement, the scorpion raised both pedipalps, smashing them together to crush Theo to death.

The Death Avatar appeared behind Theo, spreading both arms to stop the pedipalps.

*Bam!*

"…" Theo's expression darkened as he maintained a lot of energy to stop these two pedipalps. But he was only a clone whose Magic Power and Energy could be refilled by the real body at any time. And this action actually gave Theo some room to make his next move.

Theo used his Blink as well but to the back of the scorpion. Since the latter was too focused on the clone in front of him, Theo would be able to injure him somehow.

However, the scorpion had seen enough of Theo's trick. The moment Theo appeared behind him, the silver sand on the ground rose and gathered around Theo's feet like ants crawling onto his feet.

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in surprise before using his Telekinesis to push the air down and let the ground disperse it in all directions, blowing away the silver sand.

The scorpion didn't let Theo do what he wanted. Before the Telekinesis pushed them away, the silver sand joined each other, creating a solid form.

This block of silver endured the Telekinesis and continued to make its way toward Theo.

"…" Theo clicked his tongue and used his Twisted Reality to deform this silver block, only to end up reshaping it into a ball.

"Do you think I would lose my control that easily?" The scorpion smirked. In fact, he allowed Theo to reshape his silver block.

And since it had become a ball, he started triggering the silver sand in the center of the ball, letting it burst out.

"!!!" Theo widened his eyes in shock because the ball let out silver spikes. And one of them stabbed Theo in the arm.

Theo hurriedly jumped back to regain some distance, but the silver sand on the ground began to become spikes, trying to pierce Theo's body.

"Kh." Theo gritted his teeth while holding his right arm. He felt his body get burned by the silver sand. "As expected of the corrosion from that silver sand…"

"This is not over, Theodore Griffith." The scorpion finally regained his confidence in this fight. The path of killing Theo was present. Noᴠel Fɪre.net

Unfortunately for him, the Theo that took the attack earlier suddenly disappeared.

"!!!" The scorpion widened his eyes because he couldn't feel his presence anymore. Even when Theo used his Blink or Alter Ego, he would be able to pick up his presence, but this time it was completely gone.

In that instant, he realized there was only one technique that could erase the presence. He looked at the Theo he hadn't crushed this whole time.

A cunning smile appeared on Theo's face as Clone Theo reappeared and made his way toward the scorpion.

*Bam!*
