God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 946 - Limit?

Magic Bullets flew around the mist and hit the zombies from all directions. Theo even targeted their holes specifically so that the zombies stopped and covered them.

"Gravity," Isaac shouted, warning Theo about his skill.

Theo nodded and took this opportunity to kill all the zombies.

*Sigh!* Isaac let out a long sigh while wiping his sweat. "This has gotten a bit harder. I don't think we can stay too long in this area."

"Just a bit more." Theo shook his head. Although he felt a bit tired to break through several lines, which hosted multiple 1000 Years Old Zombies, he needed to do it.

Behind these few tracks were a chunk of Magic Power that Theo felt contained multiple artifacts.

"How many more?"

"Two." Theo turned around and said, "Should we use the artifacts first?"

The agreement stated that if they found artifacts that matched their power, they would be able to use them before leaving this place. And the remaining artifacts would be sold, and the money would be split evenly.

They had found twenty artifacts as of now. They planned to end the search after finding thirty artifacts and absorbing their power. In case the remaining artifacts were worth less than twenty million, they would search for another few.

Hence, they were quite restricted by the contract.

Theo agreed to it because he never thought of finding a huge chunk of Magic Power that contained multiple artifacts.

"How is it? If we use some artifacts and increase our attribute points, killing 1000 Years Old Zombies won't be a problem anymore." Theo persuaded him. These words wouldn't be effective if he asked it without finding this treasure stove.

But because of the temptation of multiple artifacts, Isaac pondered this matter seriously.

"Are you sure about your finding?"

"Have I lied to you since the beginning?" Theo shrugged. "We have spent two days just to find all these artifacts… I'm a bit exhausted at this point, and I'm planning to go somewhere else."

"To somewhere else? You're not planning to take more artifacts, right? You should remember that you're going to hand over the artifact for me to sell if you search for more artifacts by yourself."

"If I found the artifacts that I couldn't use with that information, that is." Theo added with a calm tone and said, "No. There's something else I need to do in this place. And I can't tell you anything about it."

"I should keep the artifacts for now. Won't you agree?"

"Fine by me. You're going to sell it anyway… Just don't forget I don't mind fighting you if you scam me." Theo shrugged.

Isaac thought for a moment and said, "Fine. Let's use the artifacts first. It's not like we'll take it out of these places."

Theo nodded and extended his hands. "You can go first."

Theo was a bit courteous this time since there were four people behind him: Illusion, Death, Hard, and Beast. He had more opportunities to take advantage of the artifacts.

Since Theo had offered him to go first, Isaac looked at the artifacts they'd got.

"Hmm…" Isaac looked around and grabbed a robe with blue Magic Power. Within a few seconds, the robe withered and fell to the ground in the form of ashes.

After that, Isaac turned to him and said, "You are next."

Theo nodded and immediately grabbed an armor, muttering inwardly, 'Please.'

[Heh. You're useless without me.]

The Order disappeared, the Magic Power moved directly to Theo, and the notification appeared.

[You've acquired 28 Attribute Points.]

'Thank you,' said Theo to Fenrir as the armor from earlier had a powerful beast bone in it.

Theo then turned to Isaac, "You can grab another one."

Isaac nodded and started choosing another artifact that could be absorbed again. They both continued for a moment.

Ultimately, Isaac absorbed three artifacts, and Theo got six artifacts. Even Isaac was shocked when he saw Theo's compatibility with the artifacts.

"You're so good." Isaac narrowed his eyes. "What kind of blessing do you have to be able to absorb so many colors of Magic Power?"

"Why should I tell you?" Theo shrugged.

Isaac narrowed his eyes and thought, 'Is it possible for someone to receive more than one blessing? I think there was one case in the past about someone who received a blessing from a twin. But I'm not very sure about it… Anyway, I should keep this a secret for the time being because he can kill me anytime.'

Theo glanced at him and shook his head. He had held back when absorbing the artifacts. Or else, he would take more.

Still, those six artifacts gave him a total of 102 attribute points, which was equal to twenty levels. With Theo's current status point, his attribute points had surpassed that of a level 600 experts who never increased their attribute points like this.

After getting enough points, Theo took a few deep breaths and said, "Alright. It's time for us to kill some 1000 Years Old Zombies."

"Yep." Isaac nodded.

Unexpectedly, a few hands emerged from the ground.

"!!!" Both Theo and Isaac widened their eyes, trying to gain some distance from the hands.

Yet, the moment they landed on the ground, a few more hands appeared and grabbed their feet.

"What?!" Theo and Isaac exchanged looks, knowing what to do. They needed to get away as soon as possible before understanding the situation.

But these pale hands multiplied and expanded to the top, circling their arms, body, and legs.

"What is this?!" Isaac panicked, never expecting to see so many long hands. He utilized two of his skills to deflect the hands, but nothing changed. "Wait a minute… What's wrong with these hands? What's happening?! Joker!"

Theo also didn't know what was happening. He tried to use his weapon to destroy these hands but to no avail. The hands completely stopped all sorts of movements from his body and gradually made their way toward his head.

"No!" Isaac screamed as the hands started covering his head.

'What's the deal with these hands? I couldn't do anything to them?' Theo gritted his teeth and couldn't help but remember a certain phrase.

'Brave warriors will be trapped inside the unending coldness, but the weak will find the true path between the cold.'

"Kh… Don't tell me there's a limit to killing the zombies?" said Theo before the hands covered his eyes.
