God of Tricksters

"A clone?" Ergene gasped before furrowing her eyebrows again. "But why is its Magic Power different from a normal one? They flow like a real human, not a clone… normally, you can easily figure it out just by looking at the flow, but his is…"

Ergene was confused by what Theo had shown. On the contrary, Theo continued his fight.

Theo and his clone summoned their Death Avatar at the same time and covered the area with mist, trying to blind the monster.

The entema swept the mist with a powerful energy from his claw, blowing them away.

Theo didn't maintain the mist well enough, so they left the area in an instant, revealing Theo and his clone position.

It turned out both of them were charging straight at the entema with their Death Avatar and Irregular Guardian.

The entema was confused for a second, not knowing which one was the real Theo.

Both of them waved their hands at the same time, sending the Irregular Guardian Sword forth. The entema easily struck both swords down, but the Death Avatar tried to overpower it with their giant bodies.

The entema, for the first time, received their blows with its hands.

*Bam!*

The collision between their hands caused a small shock wave in the area, but because Theo was planning to attack him, the entema grabbed the Death Avatar and spun its body to throw them away.

Theo felt like his shadow was being pulled out until it reached the maximum range of the Death Avatar's summoning range and disappeared.

"…" Theo and his clone were quite shocked by the entema's power, but he continued moving forward and slipped past through its defense.

When they were about to slash the entema's feet, a surge of wind covered the feet and blew everything away.

"!!!" Theo tried to withstand this power with his Telekinesis and immediately utilized his Order to remove the element from it.

The wind soon disappeared, leaving only the Magic Power. However, the Magic Power was actually enough to blow him away.

"What's that?" Theo widened his eyes in shock. Even though the Magic Power lost its element, it seemed that the entema could still find a way to make them move.

'Seriously? I guess a Mythical Rank Monster is that strong that you can easily control the Magic Power in the area to push me back.' Theo thought while furrowing his eyebrows, finding a way to defeat the monster.

Before the monster could launch an attack, both Theo and his clone controlled their Irregular Guardian Sword at the same time, stopping the entema from making a single move.

After that, they used their Telekinesis and flew back to the monster.

Clone Theo raised his blade and covered it with Thunderclap Fist and Enhanced Concentration Capacity, focusing all the Magic Power to the tip of the blade.

Seeing this enormous Magic Power, the entema's focus returned to Clone Theo as he waved both claws, sending crescent-shaped energy to cut him down.

However, the real Theo appeared between them. His right hand was wielding a shield made by the dwarf while the other hand controlled Irregular Guardian Shield Form.

With those two hands, he stopped the claws attack, resulting in him getting pushed back.

"He can use a clone, that kind of powerful technique, as well as a Perfect Control… Why does this sound like the person that once shook the world in the Grand Gaia Competition?" Ergene muttered in a low voice, observing Theo's movement. "But he should have died…"

Ergene fell silent, contemplating the probability. She soon widened her eyes and gasped.

"No way. What if he didn't die? I don't know how he did it, but if he could make a clone that had the same Magic Power flow like the real body, it would be possible for him to escape. Is he truly THE Theodore Griffith?"

Ergene was horrified by this sudden revelation.

In fact, Theo didn't really want to hide his identity from his group. After all, they were going to cover each other in a fight. If the truth suddenly came to light and caused a huge commotion in the group, they might destroy the group he worked hard to create.

Hence, Theo had been trying to reveal his identity to one person at the time.

He came up with this idea when he saw Felix's loyalty. After that, Theo could make a broader plan with Felix, allowing him to use all his skills like a clone or blink.

Then, he moved to Jeff. Although Jeff hadn't discovered it yet, he should have some suspicion already. It was just a matter of time for Jeff to figure it out.

Although Chris was a good candidate since he was basically the third Mythical Rank Expert he recruited, he chose not to because Chris' loyalty was not at the level yet.

And this time, it was Ergene's turn to know about his identity. He wanted her to be prepared for what was to come, making sure she didn't regret following him.

Of course, there was a huge shock on Ergene's face as if she was trying to determine if her guess was correct or not.

However, Theo gave her the last clue that proved his identity.

When the entema was about to stab Theo's body with its claws, Theo suddenly disappeared into thin air. There was no way Theo was fast enough to escape from Ergene's eyes, especially when she was watching from afar.

In other words, Theo truly vanished.

The next thing she realized, Theo was already behind the entema and struck its back, albeit getting stopped by the spike-like fur.

"As expected, he used that earlier. That is… his teleportation ability. There's no mistaking it." Ergene's body was trembling upon this revelation. "He's truly Theodore Griffith. He's from the Griffith Family, so that explains his Perfect Control. He's extremely cunning, like his reputation. Last but not least, he's in the Star Group because he's close to Maya from the Starry Group. Why did I never think of this?

"Joker is Theodore Griffith! Why? Was it because they had two different styles? Was it because Joker had been flaunting his power everywhere while Theo was hiding his power and working in the dark?"

Ergene realized… from his funeral in Italy to Theo's current action and character turned out to be Theo's plan to shift their thought from the actual Theo.

"How can he even plan all this?"
