God of Tricksters-Novel



Theo tried to take on all kinds of possibilities, considering the enemy was the strongest monster in the world.

But by the time he thought about it, the slime had changed its approach as if it didn't want Theo to find out about his pattern.

The hole in the tentacles was suddenly covered with excess slime, but surprisingly, the cover was perforated, causing the water to be sprayed.

And with the amount of tentacles, it was practically impossible for Theo to escape.

"Tsk. I showered a few hours ago. Don't need it now." Theo clicked his tongue while forming a barrier in front of him. Luckily, when the water hit it, the dissolving power was not as strong as the previous attack.

He could easily form another barrier to block the water before the previous barrier melted.This chapter is updatᴇd by novelenglish.net . fire(.)nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

Still, it cost him a lot of Magic Power just to maintain it. Sooner or later, he would run out of Magic Power to form a barrier while the slime could generate water for a long time.

Theo's expression became serious.

"It seems that I have to use that…" Theo let out a long sigh. Theo pointed his hand at the tentacles.

All of a sudden, the pressure from the water increased and the speed became so fast that Theo was being pushed back.

It looked like the slime was releasing more power as if it had become a bit impatient to deal with Theo.

Yet, the water pressure kept increasing to the point it became so big that the perforated lid that covered the tentacle's tip was being ripped apart.

As a result, the water returned to its original state, allowing Theo to avoid them pretty easily.

"…" The slime was speechless. He thought, 'Did he just amplify my power to his advantage?'

This was the first time he had seen someone like this. Normally, an enchanter would boost his or his allies' abilities to overwhelm their enemies. But Theo actually used his power to imitate an Enchanter and boost the water, causing the enemies to slip up.

However, the slime didn't realize there was one more reason for Theo to use this ability.

He was trying to check the amount of the water to recognize whether the water was made of Magic Power and his element or originated from the ground itself.

'Tsk. Groundwater.' Theo gritted his teeth. 'I don't know how deep the slime penetrates the ground, but there should be a ridiculous amount of water inside. In other words, the slime will be able to use that water until I die.'

It would be troublesome if he let the slime do that. So, all he had to do was to force the slime to be unable to use the water.

Unfortunately, he wasn't Loki, who could change the gravity in his realm, causing the slime to float in the air. Even if he did it, the slime was connected to the main body and the connection was buried underneath the ground. So, even if he erased the gravity, the slime could easily remain on the ground.

'Well, that's the only option, I guess.' Theo thought while pointing his hand at the slime once again.

"Reverse World."

He tweaked the elements in this world. Suddenly, the water crystallized and became harder to push. And because of the influx of water that turned into solid, the tunnel that connected the tentacle and the water underneath became plugged. If the slime continued to pour all the water, his body would become disoriented.

"…" The slime knew that it was hard to kill Theo even if his power was stronger than him. So, the slime actually stopped sucking the water and changed his method. He also dissolved the solid water inside him.

Seeing the slime had stopped, Theo immediately dove down while swinging his blade. Multiple tentacles were chopped off in an instant due to his illusion.

The slime immediately sent forth a tiny tentacle to reconnect them. This way, Theo's illusion would be broken as well.

But when the slime did it, Theo used his Inverted World.

"!!!" The slime was startled when it lost connection to three of its tentacles. And there seemed to be two more whirlpools that appeared on top of the sliced parts as if it was trying to engulf his real body.

In that instant, the slime retracted all the tentacles and abandoned all those tentacles that had flown.

Without him realizing it, the slime had lost the same amount of slime that Feng Hao and Loki chipped away. On the one hand, it didn't look much, considering it was just five percent of its original body. On the other hand, Theo did it alone and at a much faster speed.

It was clear that the one who got a huge advantage against him was not a Singularity like Loki, but Theo.

The main slime body also faced a similar challenge.

As soon as Theo realized that the water had come from the ground and their power wasn't as good as the red liquid, he immediately used his slime to open a path.

Just by spreading his arms, the building, the car, and even a small boulder were split. This way, there was a path straight to the hole where he produced all those bubbles.

Without hesitation, Theo flew straight toward it while using his Twisted Reality to pinch the hole that caused the eruption.

Since it was a part of the slime's body, it had the dissolving power, but because the slime was focusing on removing Theo's previous illusion, he didn't put enough power into it. As a result, the hole of the eruption was shut tight.

With this, Theo had reached close enough to the slime's body. He activated his Alter Ego to increase his Magic Power before using the Inverted World to erase it.

Due to the surge of Magic Power, the speed of the removal was three times faster, causing it to look like Theo was drilling the slime's body.

The slime gritted his teeth. Looking at how both Theo easily spent his Magic Power made it hard to recognize which one was the clone.
