God of Tricksters

Chapter 731: Lyovkin vs Alea

In the arena, Alea and Lyovkin were staring at each other.

Lyovkin couldn’t help but feel excited as he could have the chance to surpass Zhilov. It was said that he couldn’t defeat Alea, so this was a chance for him to show off.

Even so, he knew that his power had yet to reach Alea. Hence, he lowered his expectations a bit and chose to weaken her as much as possible.

“Nice to meet you.” Alea made a gentle smile as she pulled both of her swords.

Lyovkin was surprised that Alea chose to start the conversation. But it would be rude not to greet her back, so he said, “It’s my pleasure to meet you. I will do my best in this fight.”

Alea nodded as her swords began to be covered with red flame.

Lyovkin also covered both arms with a spiral wind.

They suddenly released all their Magic Power to create a powerful pressure on each other. But it soon disappeared, indicating the start of the battle.

They moved forward at the same time.

Alea swung her swords while Lyovkin released his torrential wind to blow her swords away.

Unfortunately for him, Alea’s strength was far stronger than him.

The flame suddenly disappeared as if the wind managed to blow it off, but a red light soon replaced it. This red light flew forward after her swing, cutting the spiral wind into four, dispersing it to all directions.

Without any wind separating them, the path to Lyovkin opened up.

“Swift Hind,” Alea muttered in a low voice as her feet began to glow. Her speed drastically increased as she covered the distance between them in an instant.

Lyovkin had prepared for this and pushed his hand forward to blow her away with his wind, but Alea had read this from far away and spun her body, passing him.

And as soon as she reached his back, she swung her swords.

“!!!” Lyovkin was startled for a split second and barely reacted to her speed. He used his wind to push him forward, increasing his speed as well as avoiding her swing.

After that, he kicked the air to loop above his head, pressuring Alea from above.

“Shattering Lion Roar!” Alea let out a loud roar, generating a sound wave to counter the wind above her. After that, she chased Lyovkin.

The latter spun his body and waved his hand to the side.

The wind followed his movement and pushed Alea to the right.

However, nine hydra’s heads appeared from her swords, forming a wall on her side, blocking the wind from coming at her.

Some of the heads moved forward, trying to devour Lyovkin.

Hence, Lyovkin immediately summoned five tornadoes.

The heads clashed with the tornadoes as they neutralized each other.

Seeing his attack fail, Lyovkin waved both hands to the inside.

This time, the wind surrounded Alea from two sides. Without being able to use her Devouring Hydra anymore, she should be locked in one place.

But Alea simply formed a powerful shield to her right as she pushed back the wind current before swinging her swords, releasing a cross crescent-shaped red light.

Lyovkin punched forward and released another wind dragon that engulfed her attack.

“…” Alea squinted her eyes and raised her left sword. She made a simple swing and cut the dragon into two.

“Huh?” Lyovkin was confused, never expecting that his wind could be cut with a normal swing.

Even so, he needed to defeat her. He brushed that thought for a moment and waved his hand from the sides, controlling the wind to hit her from both sides to squeeze her.

Alea stabbed the ground and four explosions occurred at the same time, blocking the wind from four directions.

After that, she raised her hands and launched ten bolts of fire into the air. they made a parabolic movement and fell right around Lyovkin.

She then placed her hand on the ground as the ground around Lyovkin became redder as if it was going to melt.

Even Lyovkin felt something was wrong with this situation. He immediately leaped back, escaping from this place.

But the bolts that hit the ground from earlier exploded simultaneously. The rising fire swallowed him.

Alea didn’t stop there. The red ground caused another explosion, amplifying the fire from earlier.

Boom.

“Gah.” Lyovkin was launched into the air. He didn’t suffer any burns, but it was apparent that he took a beating. Even though he had covered his body with his wind at the last second, the force from the explosion was still enough to injure him.

Alea took this chance to catch up and swung her blade, delivering the killing blow.

However, this was what Lyovkin had been waiting for. The suffering reflected on his face was just a bluff.

The moment Alea caught up with him, he used his wind to stop his momentum. With this, Alea passed him, giving him a perfect chance to attack her.

This was how Theo defeated him last time, and he planned to take advantage of it.

‘I’m going to win.’ Lyovkin gritted his teeth as he waved his hands, sending the wind to knock her down.

Unfortunately for him, Alea was his opponent. This kind of trick would work with other people, but not her.

When he was pushing his hand forward, the Empress already stated, “That’s enough. Alea wins.”

“Eh?” Lyovkin was obvious about the situation, but the answer came soon. Alea’s sword actually flashed before his eyes, showing that he would have been cut if the Empress didn’t protect him.

‘What just happened…’ Lyovkin was dumbfounded as he dropped to the ground.

Ignoring Lyovkin, Alea pointed her sword at Theo before making a big, energetic smile as she always did when she was with Theo.

Theo couldn’t help but smile as he closed his eyes for a second.

‘We had been teammates in the past and fought together. We had been enemies and fought each other. But I guess we had never crossed our blades in a one-on-one…’ He opened his eyes and waved his spear down, walking to the arena. ‘This time, it’s only you and me. Let’s find who’s stronger.’
