God of Tricksters

"Ladies and gentleman. I'm sure that you've been waiting for today. We finally have the chance to hold our auction that only happens once every three years.

"Today, we have plenty of unique items for all of you. So, without further ado, let's start the auction with this item!"

A middle-aged Mythical Rank Expert came to the stage and started talking. He was accompanied by a beauty that held a trolley with an item above it.

As soon as he grabbed their attention, he took out the cloth that covered the item, revealing a bronze round shield.

"This bronze shield is an artifact found in a deep ruin located in Cuba. We've tested its durability. The shield itself won't have any problem in stopping a Mythical Rank Expert, but there is one more feature that this shield has to offer."

The woman lifted the shield as the Mythical Rank Expert shot a small fireball at the shield. Suddenly, the fire bounced back to him, forcing the expert to destroy the fireball.

"As you can see earlier, the shield can reflect an attack. The shield can naturally absorb Magic Power to repel one attack per day for a maximum of three attacks. This is an artifact that you truly want. The starting price is 500 million Zils. The bid can't be lower than 50 million Zils. Let's start the auction."

The cheers erupted as the people began to bid for the shield. This bronze shield was the worst item in the auction since it came first, signifying the level of this auction. Even the temple couldn't do anything like this.

No wonder the auction attracted so many people. Even the people in the VIP Room might be just a lackey from an extremely powerful organization.

Theo watched the bid battle for a bit before utilizing this excitement to take a peek at other rooms.

It seemed that all the people had arrived before them.

On his left, he could see many Mythical Rank Experts, especially a strong one in the center.

On his right, he found something similar, albeit there were not many outstanding people among them. It was clear that the only outstanding Mythical Rank Expert was the one that had control over Order.

Hence, Theo recognized this one extraordinary person as the Slaughter.

'Each room seems to contain 3-4 Mythical Rank Experts. This is going to be a bit more annoying than I originally expected.' Theo thought while narrowing his eyes. "It seems that we need to face 15-20 Mythical Rank Experts."

"Ehm, my father's force could stop one group," Rea stated. "I would let them know to take care of the group that consists of 4 Mythical Rank Experts."

"Well, what do you think?" Theo looked at Felix.

Rea looked down, feeling hurt again. It seemed that Theo really didn't trust her. However, Felix scratched the back of his head, saying something no one expected. "It seems that you've found out about it."

"Ahaha, I was wondering when you were going to talk about it."

"I have a friend. She won't be able to kill them, but suppressing them should be possible. At least she can stop a group by herself since it's dark now."

"It seems that your friend is powerful." Theo smirked.

"During the dark, she's extremely powerful." Felix nodded. "She's an archer that controls the wind. However, she never condenses enough wind to make it visible like a tornado, so you'll only feel the shock wave. Unless you have an extremely powerful Awareness, you won't be able to see her arrow. That's why she's the best to stop them."

"An archer, huh…" Theo thought for a moment and smirked. "I'm lacking an archer. What do you think about it?"

"Ehm, I'm not sure about this…" Felix scratched the back of his head. "She is a lone wolf from what I know. Unlike the others, there doesn't seem to be a way to attract her to our group. So, I think you should give up on this idea."

"Is that so? Well, that's a shame indeed." Theo nodded nonchalantly. "So, how do you get her help this time?"

"We once hunted the same person, and the mission turned out to be more dangerous than we thought. In the end, I saved her life during the mission. So, she's just repaying the favor."

"I see. Well, I'm not going to force someone who doesn't want to enter my group, so I'll give up. Though, I'll offer her once at the very least. Can't give up without giving my best."

"I understand." Felix nodded.

"Well, that's that…" Theo sighed. "With them gone, we still need to take care of 9-12 Mythical Rank Experts. I don't know which room will attack us later, but yeah, we should prepare for the worst."

"Fighting those many people, huh…" Felix thought for a moment. "I can handle half of them, but…" Felix looked at Theo worriedly.

"Yes. I will fight the Slaughter and whatever guy with the conquest thingy. Ryo will focus on the defense. So, that leaves four more people." Theo closed his eyes.

"Three billion!" 042 was bidding for the pair of rings for Theo but still listening to their conversation. She couldn't help but take a secret peek while gulping down. 'Who the hell are these people? I mean, I don't know if they're being arrogant or confident…

'The thin guy over there said he can handle six Mythical Rank Experts at once? Seriously? Even a talented one has a hard time fighting three. What is he talking about? He must be bluffing.

'And that giant guy is the Knight, right? Can he handle the defense? Even though all of them won't attack at once, each attack is powerful. Do you think you can handle them by yourself?

'Last but not least, Joker. He is the craziest one. He claims that he can stop that psychopath slaughterer as well as the guy that controls numerous armies, the conqueror? And he is still a Supreme Rank Expert, right?

'Why do I feel like they're just being overconfident? Am I actually helping an idiotic group?' 042 didn't know that this was the time that her common sense would be shattered.
