God of Tricksters

Chapter 573 - Peak Fight

"This situation is trickier than I expected."

Luka and Lorenzo had their backs facing each other because Mara and Theo were prepared to attack them. At the same time, they couldn't trust their back to each other, knowing that the other party would backstab them the moment they lowered their guard.

At the same time, Lorenzo couldn't escape because he had used his Teleportation ability earlier. He needed to wait for two minutes before using it again.

Seeing no one making any movement, Theo started it by lifting his finger while shouting. "Rise."

A few bars made of stone emerged from the ground, surrounding Lorenzo and Luka.

"If I leap on top of the bars… They will strike me down with their attacks." Luka muttered with a low voice, assessing their situation.

"What is that? His illusion or Telekinesis?" Lorenzo clicked his tongue. He wanted to find it out, but Mara seemed to be using the confusion Theo created to launch her attack.

Mara waved her sword and sent a Sword Wave, cutting all the bars and forcing the two to leap into the air.

Theo had summoned his Magic Bullets and fired at them. "Magic Bullets."

Luka swung his giant axe and destroyed the bullets with the sheer force of his wind while Lorenzo lifted his hand and shook the Magic Bullets until they exploded.

All people thought they would be at a disadvantage, but their guess was wrong. The one who was in the dangerous situation was none other than Mara.

After using her Sword Wave, Mara's instinct told her to fly upward. She did that, but because her Telekinesis was slower than a stomp from the foot for the initial speed boost in a jump, Mara was one step too late as Theo's Magic Bullets emerged from the ground.

All those bullets flew upward and Mara managed to block or dodge most of them, but some still pierced her sides and arms.

"Kh." Mara clicked her tongue, cursing the fact she didn't have her feet.

Seeing she was injured, Luka and Lorenzo found the opportunity they were waiting for.

Without hesitation, the two guys leaped to Mara as soon as she landed, trying to finish her off.

"No, you don't!" Mara tried to fly away, but Theo appeared behind her using his Blink. Mara hurriedly turned around and sliced him, but Theo struck her blade and blew her to the ground where Luka and Lorenzo could finish her off.

Lorenzo reached her first and waved his sword, but Mara managed to roll her body a few times to avoid his blade before pushing the ground to launch herself into the air. After that, her Telekinesis took over and brought her away from him.

Unfortunately for her, Luka had predicted her movement and arrived in front of her, swinging his axe like hitting a baseball. "Ha!"

Luka's loud roar raised his morale and blew her away.

Mara ended up crashing to the ground far away from them.

Before anyone could do anything, Clone Theo used his Blink to reach Luka while thrusting his spear.

"What?!" Luka gasped and threw himself to the side while thinking, 'He is thrusting his spear? His Teleportation ability can carry his momentum, so he is using that to his advantage?'

Theo missed his body but still pierced through Luka's left arm.

'Why did he not use his Cannon Blast?' Luka suddenly realized something big. 'If he used his Cannon Blast, I might be able to dodge it by using another power to counter the Cannon Blast's force, but the collision between two energies would harm me as well… Is his Magic Power that low?'

Lorenzo even stopped for a second, doubting the same thing.

While this thought occupied their minds, the real Theo arrived in front of the injured Mara.

"Ha." Theo used his Cannon Blast this time and smashed her sword as the energy dispersed, creating a crater underneath Mara.

"You're this strong already…" Mara smirked. "However, I have no intention to lose."

She placed her hand on the ground as a few white holes revealed their appearances. Each hole released a white sword made of Magic Power.

Theo used his Telekinesis to throw him to the side, barely avoiding all ten swords. However, his right thigh and left arm were grazed by the swords and blood began to flow out of the wounds.

Mara raised her body while holding her sword with both hands. She took a deep breath to calm her heart and assessed her situation.

Seeing the clone occupying both Lorenzo and Luka, she thought, 'Theo must want to finish me himself, but I was lucky to survive the earlier attack. It seems I need to bet everything I have on the line.'

Clone Theo threw his spear to the sky and disappeared.

"Hmm?" Lorenzo turned around and chased after his spear. If he could get this spear, Clone Theo wouldn't be as troublesome anymore.

Luka had the same opinion and let him do whatever he needed to do, albeit the real Theo used his Blink to approach Luka.

"You're going to lose." Luka snorted, stopped Theo's spear with his axe, and jumped backward to gain some distance from Theo.

As if expecting something like this, Lorenzo used his Teleportation ability to return to his previous location. There was only Theo, so he swung his sword with all his might.

"Caught you!" Lorenzo smiled and swung his sword down before Theo could protect himself with his spear.

However, a smile suddenly appeared on Theo's face as he said, "You think?"

Magic Bullets flew from the sides and hit Lorenzo.

"Delayed bullets? As expected from someone who reaches Master Level Control." Lorenzo smirked and waved his sword to the side, creating a hole that absorbed all Theo's Magic Bullets.

Another gate appeared on top of Theo and sent all the bullets, but Theo had already jumped to the side, avoiding his own bullets.

Lorenzo wanted to chase him, but he suddenly stumbled on the ground and looked at his right foot with blood dyeing his shoe. "Kh. I was careless. To think you would hide one bullet underground."

Theo smiled… "Now everyone has one or more injuries."
