God of Tricksters

The wait might take a few hours, but Theo didn't really care because he was busy sorting his thoughts. He also wanted to come up with an idea on how to use his Reality Eyes.

When the moon gradually rose in the sky, Avarice returned to this area, this time with her battle form.

Her humanoid form was similar to Ava, but she had a complete ring with seven balls that emitted light. Her claws were sharp and strong.

'Killer bunny' might become her title if the people on Earth discovered her. With those bloodshot eyes, Avarice created a heavy atmosphere around her.

As soon as he felt her presence, Theo rose from the ground and opened his eyes, observing her.

After that, he took out his sword and even summoned his Irregular Guardian (Sword Form) to increase his security.

"It seems that you've grown stronger than my imagination." Avarice narrowed her eyes.

"I might not be as strong as you." Theo lowered his spear as he took a deep breath, calming his mind. His eyes were focused on Avarice's body.

"The time limit is ten minutes."

Theo nodded and summoned his Death Avatar. He even summoned a giant coin so that both of them could see it. "As soon as the coin touches the ground, we'll start?"

"Sounds good."

After getting her agreement, Theo hurriedly tossed the coin into the sky.

Avarice then released her own Magic Power that wasn't losing against Theo. She even let out her sharp teeth.

*Cling!*

The coin fell to the ground.

Avarice pointed her palm at Theo as the ring behind her body moved to the front and shone brightly. Each sphere sent a powerful light to the middle and created a powerful beam.

Theo channeled his Magic Power to the tip of his spear with the help of Enhanced Concentration Capacity. This way, the tip of his spear would be the strongest weapon in this place.

He stabbed the beam with his spear, causing it to split into two. Surprisingly, Theo was also pushed back by the force of this white beam.

"!!!" Theo never expected that the beam would be this strong.

Before the beam was split into half completely, Avarice had appeared next to him, swinging her claws. The light power that covered her claws turned into crescent-shaped white energy that flew to Theo.

Seeing this energy, Theo changed his Irregular Guardian into a shield and received the attack head-on. The claws somehow made a small hole in his shield.

'That's too strong. In that case…'

The Death Avatar's eyes glowed as Theo utilized its amplification to increase the intensity of his killing intent to scare Avarice.

But when she felt this killing intent, a single roar was all it took for her to neutralize the killing intent.

"Wha—" Theo widened his eyes in surprise. As soon as the beam was cleaved completely, Theo jumped back, trying to gain some distance from her.

Avarice waved her claws once again to stop Theo from running away.

Theo snapped his finger, using his Attribute Removal to erase the element from that claws.

The white energy soon disappeared, but the Magic Power remained. When he was about to disintegrate the Magic Power, the white light returned as if it was reinforced by the moonlight.

"!!!" Theo clicked his tongue and turned his spear into a sword before releasing a similar attack to destroy her.

After that, Theo changed his weapon into a sniper rifle and shot at Avarice.

Avarice raised two of her fingers before the moonlight somehow became brighter, shrinking the bullet from Theo's sniper rifle.

When the bullet split into a few, the moonlight shone even brighter, suppressing the energy. In the end, the bullets had disappeared before they reached her.

'…' Theo narrowed his eyes and pointed his palm to the moon.

However, despite trying hard to remove the attribute from the moonlight, he couldn't do it.

"Tsk." Theo raised his vision and thought, 'It's too far. Does she really control the moon? Or is it just the moonlight? Unlike normal elements, the moonlight isn't formed by Magic Power… It literally comes from the sunlight that is reflected by the moon. So, I can't really remove that.'

Theo knew that all his Magic Power could be disintegrated by the moonlight but not the other way around. In other words, he was in a very disadvantageous position.

'I see. That's why it doesn't really matter whether you have one of the Big Orders or not. Depending on how you use it, the normal Orders can defeat those Big Orders. Of course, there are some advantages as a possessor of one of the Big Orders.' Theo thought as he started focusing on the other realities reflected in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" Avarice smirked. "I haven't even started."

Theo's expression became even more serious as he snapped his finger.

The ground in front of him suddenly rose to the air as the soil was split into two. After that, the floating soils and rocks formed a huge roof that covered the moonlight. Of course, the rocks were just an illusion. Theo reinforced it with his Order so that the roof was like a real thing. This would prevent the moonlight from affecting it.

It was true that his Magic Power would be disintegrated by the moonlight, but he could simply use this solution.

Avarice glanced at the roof for a second before leaping toward Theo.

Theo summoned a few swords forth, trying to defeat Avarice. Unfortunately for him, Avarice easily avoided all of them as she approached Theo.

However, a smile appeared on Theo's face as he summoned the thin threads that connected all those swords.

"!!!" Avarice was surprised as her body was stopped by the trip, resulting in her tripping to the ground.

Theo planned to use this chance to defeat her, but Theo forgot one detail in Avarice's body.

His Reality Eyes picked it up at the last second as he raised his vision to the roof.

On top of the roof, the ring with seven spheres had expanded.

"An Order from the moon. Be judged by the seven stars." Avarice waved her hand down.

In that instance, the seven spheres released a powerful light with pointed tips. These seven giant lights shattered the roof and hit the ground, causing the ground to burst out. The swords and threads were neutralized by the moonlight that finally returned after the roof was gone.

Avarice then took this opportunity to move again, appearing in front of Theo while striking his body with her claws.

Theo also saw her movement and struck her claws.

*Cling!*
