God of Tricksters

“Uuuu…” The dog let out a shrill before rising back up again. It wasn’t that injured, considering Theo’s attack wasn’t that powerful. However, the fact that his attack could hit him was enough to know that Theo could defeat him.

Theo smiled as if knowing how to defeat this dog. His ability was weird, but it didn’t change the fact that his ability still worked on him.

The dog was angry as it stomped the ground, turning the ground around him into his own path.

Theo pointed to the ground, ready to neutralize this ability again. But the moment his World Re-Creation reached that area, the road suddenly released a burst of Magic Power.

This white Magic Power formed multiple roads in all directions.

Theo maintained his calm as everything was under his control. He simply raised his World Re-Creation to match the paths’ movements, stopping them.

It seemed that the speed between the giant area and the small path was far too different. The smaller paths gradually increased their speeds and turned unpredictable as if trying to avoid Theo’s control.

Unfortunately, Theo only controlled the space around it, so it didn’t matter where those paths were going as they would end up moving toward the dog.

The latter found the secret as well and hurriedly changed its direction, trying to escape the shrinking area.

The dog seemed to have given up as another road appeared underneath his feet. Unlike the previous roads, this one wasn’t affected by his power.

“Huh?” Theo was confused for a moment because the dog somehow came out without being pushed back by the World Re-Creation.

After escaping from the suppression area, the dog continued its way toward Theo. At the same time, the road was also releasing a different kind of Magic Power fluctuation.

Theo hurriedly turned his weapon into a spear and stepped forward. The Magic Power from his body started to gather at the tip of the spear.

Theo and the dog moved toward each other. The dog waved its paw, followed by a small path that connected the paw to Theo’s spear.

Theo also used his Energy Blast and Enhanced Concentration Capacity to fight against this paw.

Their Magic Power collided. A thunderclap resounded across the battlefield and the collision was so strong that the Magic Power ended up crushing the ground beneath their feet.

Theo and the dog gritted their teeth, unable to proceed. The dog was surprised to find Theo had this much strength, but he didn’t know Theo’s hands were numb after stopping this paw.

“…” Theo glared at the dog while trying to recover his hands’ sensation as soon as possible.

The monster seemed to have seen another path to his victory as he hurriedly pounced on Theo before he could recover.

Theo clicked his tongue and changed his strategy as well. He had been trying to figure out the enemy’s ability, but since it was impossible to find it, he wanted to be on the offensive right now.

In that instant, Theo stepped on the ground with his Ascension Step. The overwhelming wind rose into the sky before falling to the dog like a meteor.

The dog felt this Magic Power, but because it was still far away from his ability, the wind wasn’t affected.

The dog was forced to form another road to the sky so that it could weaken the wind power before it reached him.

He was so focused on the overwhelming wind that he didn’t realize Theo had teleported to his back. After that, Theo clapped his hands, releasing all his power.

The sky soon turned dark as if the sun was gone. There were only stars in the sky, and soon, a few huge spheres appeared around them.

When he was on top of him, Theo felt something unusual. His power was gradually increasing.

‘It seems that this glowing path gives him a certain ability. No, it’s more like it can give you anything depending on the condition it sets.’ Theo muttered inwardly. He remembered how this path had weakened him earlier.

Since his ability was boosted, Theo started stimulating all the spheres around him.

At the same time, the dog released another wave of paths that surrounded Theo.

Theo wanted to let one of them hit him to test his theory. But he remembered there was a path he couldn’t break even with his Reality power, so he didn’t know whether he had the ability to do it or not.

In the end, Theo jumped into the sky, avoiding all these paths. While stimulating the circles with the necessary elements, Theo spun them in a clockwise direction to increase the penetration power.

After that, Theo used his Telekinesis to move all these spheres to the dog.

The monster saw three spheres: one surrounded by fire, one with spikes on its surfaces, and one made of water. The monster sent forth the paths to these three.

It seemed the ability also gave him the necessary information about them as the monster suddenly leaped into the one with spikes and smacked it with its paw, blowing it to the water sphere.

*Bam!*

The hard sphere dispersed all the water and continued to move away. Still, the dog got a small wound when smacking that spike.

As for the last one, the dog didn’t seem to be planning to hit it with his ability again. Instead, it suddenly jumped into the air and hit Theo with his tail.

“!!!” Theo was surprised that the dog chose to go this way. After all, the Ascension Step would hit his head.

It seemed the monster knew that this was the only strategy where he could catch Theo off guard.

Even though his head was hit by the Ascension Step and his body was knocked down to the ground, it managed to smack Theo straight to the fireball with his tail.

“…” Theo hurriedly retracted this giant ball of fire and landed on the ground without any injury since he protected his body with the Supernatural Snake Body at the last second.

This wasn’t an equivalent exchange and Theo believed the dog wasn’t so desperate to use this kind of strategy. But at this time, he realized the dog’s real intention.

The tail actually formed another path that now wrapped his left arm. Suddenly, a sharp pain jolted Theo’s mind.
