God of Tricksters

The humans were standing side by side, watching the entire plain. They had been expecting the enemies to come through this plain.

The closer they were to the estimated time, the more nervous they became. Even so, they could only clench their teeth, thinking Theo was with them. Theo was the hero that saved the union from destruction. So, they believed he could do the same.

They held their weapons as tight as possible while pumping their morale. They thought they were going to fight with the hero to protect their base.

Suddenly, a few huge tornadoes appeared in the sky, marching toward their places. The temperature dropped significantly as the sunny sky turned into a gloomy black sky. The dark cloud started sparking, letting out a thunderous roar.

However, they started noticing something off from these tornadoes. Instead of the wind, the tornadoes actually had so many colors. They thought it was a phenomenon created by Magic Power, but they could see it wasn’t the case when it became closer.

The tornado was actually made of trash. It turned out they were gathering all the trash to let them carry it like this.

One of the tornadoes moved forward faster than the others and threw all the trash it carried toward the humans.

“What is this?”

“Plastic?”

“Bottles?”

“There is so much trash.”

“Aaaah, this is disgusting.”

The soldiers were complaining, never thinking this was the trash they had thrown away.

This one huge tornado alone carried at least twenty thousand pounds of trash. And all of them were thrown back to the humans. Some of them even got injured with metal cans and similar hard trash.

“Aaaahhh!”

“We have an injured here.”

The people began panicking because no one did anything to this tornado. Felix and Ruth actually had taken out their weapons, planning to destroy the tornado. Though, they were afraid the trash would fall in one place and another tornado would appear.

But they couldn’t let this go on either since it would impact their spirit. Even if they had to spend a portion of their energy, they had to destroy it.

“Let me do it,” Felix said as he jumped into the air, heading straight to the tornado. Suddenly, a ray of light penetrated the thick, dark cloud like hope in a gloomy future.

The light was concentrated in Felix’s sword as it expanded his reach, splitting the tornado into two.

“Look!”

“The tornado has…”

As soon as it was cut down, the wind dispersed and threw away the remaining trash to the surroundings.

Unfortunately for them, the enemy had expected it as well as the starfish monster he fought a few days ago jumped into the air.

“I know you’ll be stopping it!” The starfish smirked, punching Felix.

Felix managed to block it with his sword, but the force launched him to the ground.

*Bam!*

“Kh.” Felix gritted his teeth after crashing to the ground.

Ruth immediately shot her arrow at this unguarded starfish. However, another tornado formed between them, swallowing her arrow.

“!!!” Ruth looked left and right, trying to see the one who stopped her but to no avail. “Tsk.”

However, the bad news didn’t stop there. Rea and Agata received the same message from the headquarters.

‘The Time God has gone to Oregon to stop a World Class Monster. The headquarters hopes everyone here can stop the invasion by themselves.’

“Are you freaking kidding me?” Rea shouted in frustration. “We’re fighting against a World Class Monster too here. There’s no way we can stop them just by ourselves!”

Unfortunately, there was nothing the messenger could do. Even Rea stopped at that moment because getting angry was the last thing she wanted to do in this situation.

An image of the fourth letter appeared in her mind, including the words written on it.

Last resort.

Rea gritted her teeth and opened the last letter. She truly had no other way to stop a World Class Monster.

Her hands were shaking because this was the last letter Theo had left for her. If this didn’t work, they could only accept their deaths here.

This might be the first time Rea had a hard time opening a letter. After all, this letter actually decided her life and death.

Even Agata took a peek, wondering what came in. She had complete trust in Theo, so even if this letter was a joke, she would believe him, knowing he would come back for her.

Surprisingly, the last letter seemed to have predicted everything that had happened.

“Opening this letter means you’re truly out of options. The Time God should be able to handle all your problems, but the fact that you’re still opening this one means the Time God isn’t with you.

“In that case, I only have one instruction for all of you. Fight to the very end. I’ll handle the rest.”

Unbeknownst to all of them, whether it was his allies, his enemies, or even the spy, Theo was actually standing on barren ground.

This was the trail that the army of sea monsters made on their march.

He was located two miles away from the enemies as he could still see the tornado from his position.

Next to him was a blonde woman who cracked her fists with an excited smile. “I see. So, that’s our target. Killing a World Class Monster, huh…how in the world do you think about it? It’s already impossible to trap a World Class Monster like this, let alone position it to the execution ground.

“There is a spy among the higher ups. However, it’s impossible to know about this spy. All we know is that the spy will inform the enemy to destroy our places. That’s why I give Rea a plan to lose, allowing them to reach our territory. In other words, their fall is caused by the spy they’ve planted among us. And thanks to this, the sea creatures won’t trust that spy anymore, thinking he is a double agent. This way, the sea monsters will need to think twice before attacking us again.

“Trapping the enemy to make an example out of them, separating their connection to the spy and killing their trust, and eliminating their intention to invade the land. Killing three birds with one stone, huh… As expected of the well-known Theodore Griffith. If that’s the case, shall we stun the world?”

Theo smiled. The sea monsters didn’t realize that they had lost before they even made their second move.
