God of Tricksters

Chapter 570 - Running His Mouth

Theo took a deep breath as he knew he was in the worst position.

Although they had yet to make their first move, Theo was in the middle, surrounded by all of them. Hence, he needed to get away from that position as soon as possible, albeit Lorenzo took the step faster.

With his Spatial Ability, Lorenzo appeared behind Theo, swinging his sword.

To avoid this strike, Theo used his Blink to teleport to the other side to distance himself from the others, but Lorenzo hurriedly sealed his movement by using one of his skills. "Spatial Lock."

A thin pink sphere suddenly appeared. It had a fifty feet radius and centered at him.

Bam.

Theo reappeared in front of the wall and hit it as his Blink failed to go through the sphere.

"Wha—" Theo was surprised for a split second. "It prevents me from using my Space Ability?"

Before he could leave, Lorenzo waved his sword, releasing a pink-colored light that extended like a whip.

Theo clicked his tongue and jumped to the side to avoid his attack.

Luka took this chance to approach Theo and swung his axe. "Gale Storm."

A powerful gale brushed Theo's skin and pushed him back before turning into a tornado that launched him into the air.

Luka licked his lips and jumped to the sky, trying to hit him.

When he was about to hit him, Luka changed his swing direction to the side, pounding all ten arrows aimed at him. "Ignazio!"

On the ground, Ignazio still calmly observed the situation and ordered his archers to take him down. He seemed to be protecting Theo in this situation, but that was never his intention.

He simply chose to stop Luka from taking Theo's tokens and let his sister take all the glory.

Mara, on his right, had pulled her sword out and waved it. "Three Arrow Blades."

Theo saw the incoming arrow-shaped lights and used his Telekinesis to launch himself another way, but the arrows turned around and continued to chase him.

"Oh? Tracking Ability." Theo narrowed his eyes and dove down.

Suddenly, Lorenzo appeared behind him and slashed the air, creating another black hole that absorbed Mara's attack. After that, he re-summoned them next to him to chase Theo. If her attack hit Theo, it would be counted as his since this was the purpose.

Luckily for Theo, Lorenzo's ability seemed to have removed the tracking ability from Mara's attack, so Theo took that chance to move farther away and escaped.

"Magic Bullet." He also summoned twenty Magic Bullets and hit Lorenzo in the air.

With him using that "hole" technique, Theo believed he couldn't avoid this attack. Little did he know, Lorenzo had a more terrifying skill.

He simply lifted his finger for a split second and the space distorted.

The Magic Bullets hit that distortion like crashing to the wall and exploded.

Boom.

"Seriously…" Theo smiled and raised his left hand, forming a spear from Magic Power and shooting him again.

Without any skills to defend himself, Lorenzo was forced to use his sword. His Magic Power spread from the sword blade and formed a small plate on top of it.

He used that plate to receive Theo's spear.

To his surprise, the spear shattered the plate into pieces.

Lorenzo ended up cutting the spear with his sword while feeling the residual force from the spear.

Taking a look at his hand with a surprise, Lorenzo looked at Theo and said, "You're strong."

Theo didn't wish to engage in conversation with him as he also didn't have time for that because Luka already appeared next to him. "You're not getting away."

"No, both of you." Mara's voice suddenly echoed in their ears as she somehow had arrived not far from Theo and Luka.

Before they could strike each other, they leaped into the air as another crescent-shaped golden light flew below them, cutting all trees.

"Oi, oi." Theo raised his left hand, asking them to stop. "You're bullying the new guy, you know. This is not a battle royale, but four against one… All of you are targeting me, despite knowing so much information about past competitions and other people's abilities here.

"Don't you have any shame? A shameless cool and aloof guy, who pretends not to know his fame just to defeat me. Then there is a musclehead who keeps charging like a crazy dude. Of course, we can't forget the guy who has hots for his sister and does all this in the name of 'justice' without realizing his forbidden activities."

They all frowned when they heard Theo's words. Those words might not be true, but for Theo, it was the truth since it came from his observation.

And without giving them a chance to say something, Theo kept running his mouth. "Regardless, how dare the proud War God Family's members show such discourtesy toward a new guy like me? Are you out of your mind?"

The veins on their foreheads began to bulge as they couldn't help but think, "You're still not done?"

"Stop running your mouth because everything you said wasn't true!" Luka was the first to erupt in anger as he charged toward him since he was the closest to him.

Theo hurriedly leaped back to avoid him, but Luka caught him without a problem, albeit everything went according to the plan.

Luka's foot touched a thread made of Magic Power and dragged it toward himself with his speed.

It didn't stop there because one of its ends was connected to Theo's Magic Bullet that had been summoned, combined into one, and hid behind the tree by his clone.

"!!!" Luka widened his eyes and waved his axe to hit the Magic Bullet before it touched his body.

Boom.

He succeeded, but the explosion was strong enough to blow him a hundred feet away and crashed to the ground.

Lorenzo, Ignazio, and Mara couldn't help but open their mouths in surprise, never expecting the battlefield had a trap.

At the same time, another Theo appeared from behind a tree with a smile on his face. "You four surely have had your fun with my clone this whole time. Did you all just focus on the tracker in our sunglasses instead of checking my real identity? This place is surely nice."
