God of Tricksters

Chapter 1361 The One Who Administered the Challenge

　　The lightning contained a huge amount of Magic Power as well as the Lightning Order, so even Theo wouldn’t be able to contain it that easily. At the same time, removing the Order meant that he would be removing the trial itself since it was the test of might.

Hence, Theo planned to use all his strength against this lightning without removing any of it.

As soon as the Irregular Guardian in the spear form struck the lightning, it caused a huge shock wave that dispersed the lightning.

At the tip of the spear, there was actually a concentrated Magic Power that Theo gathered with the help of Enhanced Concentration Capacity. Although Theo wanted to use that Magic Power to penetrate the lightning and disperse it, the lightning looked alive. Even if he dispersed it, the lightning would just fuse again after they slipped past the Irregular Guardian.

Hence, the Magic Power dispersed them to the point they couldn’t join together anymore.

With the addition of Theo’s high amount of Magic Power, the lightning was dispersed completely.

”Good.” Theo smirked. “Let’s do it once more, shall we?”

Theo picked up the Irregular Guardian that fell after the first strike and poured more Magic Power into it. Not only the Enhanced Concentration Capacity, but Theo was also using his Muscle Enhancement to produce a far stronger throw.

”Hu…” Theo took a deep breath and threw the spear once again.

The lightning cloud responded by sending another lightning that contained an even stronger Order.

This time, when they clashed, the lightning Order was chipping away the Magic Power. In Theo’s eyes, the Lightning Order seemed to be electrocuting the Magic Power, causing them to be burned into nothing.

”Ho?” Theo was impressed as the lightning finally won against Theo’s Irregular Guardian. However, the power remaining in that lightning was minuscule.

Theo simply used his Telekinesis to disperse the residual lightning, passing the second lightning strike.

Finally, the last lightning strike for the fifth platform appeared. This time, the lightning actually formed a beam.

Instead of penetrating power, the lightning seemed to focus on the raw strength.

Feeling challenged, Theo summoned his Irregular Guardian again and channeled his Magic Power to the tip of the spear.

With the Enhanced Concentration Capacity alone, Theo wouldn’t be able to go against this lightning. Hence, he added Energy Blast into the spear, allowing him to cause a huge explosion to disperse most of the lightning energy.

Instead of throwing it, Theo leaped and challenged the lightning personally.

”Haha, come!” Theo smirked and flew to the sky with his Telekinesis and thrust his spear, hitting the lightning beam.

When the spear pierced the lightning beam, the latter was actually durable enough to contain the thrust.

Eventually, the middle part tilted to the inside and the rest continued moving forward, causing Theo to be surrounded by the lightning beam from all directions.

Only after Theo was enveloped by lightning that the middle part popped out, allowing Theo to completely enter the lightning beam.

*Bam!*

A huge thunderous roar reverberated, causing a powerful shock wave that startled the monsters nearby.

But even with that kind of lightning, Theo was still intact.

”Huh?” The Thunder King widened his eyes in shock when he witnessed Theo coming out of the lightning unscathed. “There’s not even a single wound on his body. Wait, what’s that?”

The Thunder King saw something like snake scales covering Theo’s body. It confused him for a while, but he soon understood that it was probably Theo’s power.

Theo smirked and felt almost nothing when he was enveloped by the lightning beam.

”It seems that I have leveled up this Supernatural Snake Body. It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Theo smirked, remembering the time when he always used the Supernatural Snake Body to withstand the force of using his full speed.

With that kind of pressure shredding his body, the Supernatural Snake Body progressed by leaps and bounds. And now, even if he used his full speed, the air friction wouldn’t be able to tear his body apart.

And this lightning had a slightly lower power from the air friction, so Theo didn’t feel anything from the last hit.

”It seems that my skin is now as strong as steel. But then again, unlike my Future Vision and Perfect Control, I haven’t been able to learn the other three Aspects that much. I need to focus on my Breathing, Endurance, and Technique after this… Then again, I have created a Divine Technique. Although it’s not perfected yet, I can claim that I have reached the highest level of Technique… I guess?

”Or should I only claim that I have mastered Technique when I can create an ability as strong as the World Re-Creation? The skill whose grade was beyond S Rank…” Theo smirked. “Either way, it’s time to challenge the last three bolts of lightning. I can think of it later.”

After landing on the platform, Theo immediately headed to the sixth platform. Unfortunately, the sixth platform was similar to the fifth platform. Theo could destroy everything with the help of Death Avatar, Muscle Enhancement, Telekinesis, Enhanced Concentration Capacity, and Energy Blast.

There wasn’t even a need to utilize his Ascension Step to challenge the lightning.

But everything changed when he stepped on the last platform.

When Theo reached the last platform and looked at the lightning cloud that he needed to go through in order to finish the trial, Theo actually smiled and provoked it again. But this time, he already knew the culprit who made this trial hard for him.

And that was also the reason why he had been acting a bit arrogant instead of his usual humble self.

He smirked. “I know you’re there, Ava. Let’s see if you can stop me or not.”

As soon as Theo leaped into the air, the cloud suddenly opened, revealing the bright sunlight. However, there was a figure falling in the middle of the hole. She had covered her claws with lightning and prepared to take on the challenger.

But both of them actually smiled at each other as they said the same thing. “It’s been a while.”
