God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 307 - Theo’s Plan

"You!" Miyoko couldn't contain his anger anymore as he charged at him with his lightning sword, only to stop in the middle because of the four incoming star-shaped lights raining down on him.

"Spread!" Miyoko waved his sword to the side and spread his lightning to destroy all the light that turned into a massive Ice Crystal.

At the same time, Masahiko also received a similar attack and leaped back to gain some distance while avoiding Ellen's attacks.

"Oops." Theo chuckled and moved his clone to help Alea while shouting, "Ellen, help Alea."

"You…" Miyoko was supposed to be stronger than Matsuhiko, yet, Theo had been neglecting him as if he wasn't strong enough to make Theo put some importance on him.

"What?" Theo sneered and pointed his spear.

"Act big!" Miyoko leaped forward and swung his sword down.

Instead of taking the sword head-on, Theo took one step back and let Miyoko strike the ground.

Bam.

The lightning spread on the ground while Theo was still waiting for him without even looking at that attack.

When Miyoko was about to move, he suddenly stumbled on the ground before realizing his hand entered the ground.

The illusion was then revealed.

The ground turned into a crater with some rocks holding Miyoko's feet. The reason he didn't fall earlier was due to Theo's Telekinesis, using it to float the rock underneath his feet.

This chance became the biggest chance for Theo as he arrived before him and struck his spear. "Swift Energy."

Miyoko gritted his teeth and tried to parry his spear, but two strikes slipped past his defense and grazed him on his cheek and upper right arm.

Theo then spun his body and sent a round kick on his head with the power of his Telekinesis, blowing him away.

Miyoko rolled on the ground a few times and quickly raised his head, looking at Theo still standing in his position without taking this chance to give him another blow.

"You… How long are you going to look down on me?"

"Can't you see it already? I'm telling you that you alone are not enough." Theo snorted, finally starting his plan to show his real power.

Masahiko, on the other hand, was sweating. Not only was his teammate getting owned by Theo, but his condition wasn't that good either.

Alea couldn't really grasp his sword dance, but she still managed to cope with it.

Little did he know that due to the extraordinary swordsmanship from Zara, she managed to use it as another reference to understand his Sword Dance better.

Alea used that frustration in her loss to become the boost of her own progress.

'I will be stronger. I won't let Theo surpass me easily.' Alea gritted her teeth and released a bit more Magic Power into her attack. "Inch Slash."

Masahiko struck that Inch Slash with his sword to neutralize it, but Clone Theo appeared behind him, grasping his shoulders.

"Tch." Masahiko clicked his tongue and elbowed Clone Theo, but the latter managed to use his Blink first, carrying Masahiko in front of Ellen, who was already in motion.

"Frost Nova."

"I won't make it!" Masahiko gritted his teeth and said, "I'm out!"

Diego quickly stopped Ellen's attack before carrying him to the side of the arena.

"I almost got injured by that attack. Theodore will still put something in this fight, so I know I need to conserve my Magic Power and be injured. This is why…" Masahiko suddenly fell silent as he saw Clone Theo talking to Ellen and Alea instead of helping the original Theo.

"Why are they talking? Theo is… Wait!" Masahiko yelled. "We give up!"

Diego heard his words and stopped the match. "Thersland wins!"

"What?!" Miyoko obviously didn't understand this action because he hadn't lost yet.

However, Masahiko could only regret the result. "We've been had."

As he thought about it, Masahiko saw Theo clicking his tongue with his face filled with annoyance.

In that instant, Masahiko already got his answer.

Miyoko, who couldn't accept the result, quickly came over, but Masahiko already left the arena in a hurry.

He could only find Masahiko talking to Mami in the corridor.

"Masahiko! I can still fight!" Miyoko shouted in anger and frustration.

Mami's expression turned cold as she confronted Miyoko with a cold expression. "Shut up. You can't even see what was going on? If Masahiko didn't realize it, we would have fallen into his plan.

"With this, I'm sure that he is trying to finish the battle on the fourth match. Why? Because your strength is only second to me. With you losing your rationality and getting taken over by your anger, do you think you can perform the same like when your head is cool?

"And if the fight continued, you would have gotten several injuries that stopped you. It would lower our chance to win. Masahiko even told me Theodore seemed to be annoyed that he stopped the match. It means that it was exactly his plan.

"Couldn't you even see that Theodore is actually aiming at you? Couldn't you see that Theodore was making you mad this whole time? Even after the match ends, you are still like this?" Mami's outburst certainly created tension in the corridor.

Even Masahiko stepped back, not wanting to be involved in this. He slipped away with Takuro, leaving both of them.

Meanwhile, Theo walked calmly after the match ended, heading straight to the waiting room.

"Theo… Are you purposely targeting that guy?" Alea asked as if she had noticed it too.

Theo widened his eyes and looked at him with a dumbfounded face. He even put his hand on her forehead, checking her temperature. "Alea? You are not sick. Are you an imposter?"

Even Ellen froze with a shocked face.

"How rude." She pouted. "After losing, I have been thinking about what I can do in order to improve myself so as to avoid losing again. That's why this whole time I have been questioning your order… I want to know the reason you gave that order and understand the whole process. I want to get stronger."

"Oh… I thought you were sick." Theo let out a sigh of relief.

"Somehow I want to punch you… I mean, seriously. Did you take any pills? I feel like you have changed… For… I can't really say it's for the better since you are more annoying than usual." She sighed.
