God of Tricksters

"…" Rea was shocked that she was the first one to be captured. However, she could do nothing because Agata didn't place any smoke to escape again.

Even Theo stood in front of her as if telling her and Walker that she had been defeated.

Walker received Theo's signal and smirked, focusing on the other two.

Nella approached Walker carefully, but she soon looked down, forgetting that everything he touched would be a place to summon his chain. And it wasn't limited to what his chain or his hand touched.

"His foot too?" Nella gritted her teeth and jumped to the side as four chains almost captured her. She rolled a few times on the ground, but Walker took this opportunity to seize her.

"No, you won't!" Agata formed two huge scythes and swung them, preventing Walker from getting closer to Nella.

Her plan worked as she forced Walker to jump into the air.

But his feet picked up a large rock and kicked it toward Agata.

Agata prepared to block it with her smoke, but the rock that he threw earlier summoned another chain and shattered the huge rock into a few pieces. And that touch was all he needed to summon more chains.

"What?" Agata gasped and saw six big rubbles spreading in all directions. She thought this would be just a normal rock with a single chain attached to it, but with the rocks turning into six pieces, she needed to handle six chains at once.

Agata formed a barrier to stop three chains and immediately retracted it so that Walker couldn't take advantage of the touch, but the remaining three managed to get through her defense and capture her.

"Kh." Agata clicked her tongue. She wanted to escape again, but Theo walked to her this time, saying, "It's enough."

"…" Agata gritted her teeth and lowered her head as if she had recognized her defeat.

Meanwhile, Nella got the opportunity to approach him because he was too occupied with Agata.

Unfortunately for her, she had just entered the wolf's den. With two chains binding Agata and Rea, the rest of the chain now could focus on Nella.

Suddenly, all those chains emerged from the ground and surrounded Nella.

"Eh?" Nella gulped down as her face became pale. "Can I give up now?"

Walker didn't hesitate to chain her up as he had promised to defeat three of them without harming them.

With this, Walker easily defeated the three Supreme Rank Experts on Theo's side.

"I have defeated them, Joker. If you think that they can waste my Spiritual Energy so that you can defeat me, you might want to rethink that." Walker smirked.

"No. I don't need it." Theo shook his head as he raised his right hand.

*Clack!*

With a single snap of his fingers, all the chains disappeared, freeing all the three girls.

"Eh?" Walker widened his eyes in surprise, never expecting that he would manage to make all his chains disappear just like that. "So, that's the power that removed even the space element? An interesting power you have there."

"As promised, I'm going to fight you." Theo nodded.

"Finally. I'm not going to hold back, you know." Walker smirked.

"Of course. You're free to do that." Theo then turned to the three ladies. "Sorry, but the time is up. Can you come over here so you won't be affected by the battle?"

Nella, who was the farthest among them, was the first to regroup with the rest. She had a long face as if she wanted to fight more.

"Anyway, you three have a lot to improve, especially you, Rea." Theo let out a long sigh and said, "Why did you use something you're uncomfortable with? The more you force yourself with two swords like that, the more openings I can take advantage of. I'm sure you already know this."

"That's… I know that already, but…"

"Just hone what you currently have. Whether it's strength, speed, or even your unique ability… You need to use what you're comfortable with." Theo scratched the back of his head. "Well, whatever. Just watch what I'm going to show you."

"Must be hard to take care of them, eh?" Walker smirked.

"It's fine. Sorry for making you wait this long." Theo narrowed his eyes as he started releasing his Magic Power.

"As long as I can see your true strength, I can wait for this long. Let's do this, shall we?" Walker raised his hands, summoning all fifty chains in an instant.

"It seems that you're not holding back anymore."

"Of course. I know you can fight against a Mythical Rank Expert, but I hope you don't lose easily." Walker leaped forward.

Theo had the same reaction. He approached Walker while looking at the chains that were going to surround him any second.

Theo snapped his finger again and removed all of them. After that, he punched forth, planning to hit him in the face.

'Hmm… now that he has used it a few times, I can see that my Magic Power is still lingering in their positions. In other words, he only removed my chains, not the Magic Power itself. And if I use the Magic Power to summon my chains again…' Walker thought while turning the Magic Power into chains again.

He succeeded as the chain began to return.

But Theo's punch had hit its target, which was the air. Suddenly, all the Magic Power that had yet to turn into chains were blown away, causing Walker to fail.

"Kh." As he saw the incoming fist, Walker raised both hands to block it.

Meanwhile, Nella widened her eyes and observed Theo's movement carefully. 'My Freedom Style focused on the explosion of the concentrated Magic Power, but he is concentrating the Magic Power outside his body to create an invisible strike?'

Theo didn't stop there as he stomped the ground.

Walker might be pushed back by Theo's punch, and his chains couldn't influence Theo, but there was something that he could do. He should summon chains in succession so that he could gain some time to react.

However, that stomp gathered the Magic Power beneath him as it burst out, hitting his stomach. The force sent him flying into the air as he coughed a few times.

Walker looked at Theo and Nella and realized that despite fighting him, Theo still found a way to teach her something.

'He is insane. To think he still believes he has that kind of leeway while fighting me.' Walker smiled excitedly.
