God of Tricksters

“What is this…”

“Aren’t the other parts of the area being protected by weaker people?”

The monsters were muttering inwardly, staring at the complete devastation. They were attacking the enemies with all they got, but the enemies actually overpowered them with their own firepower.

And there was one person that stood out in particular.

She was none other than Ruth.

A single arrow managed to kill at least five monsters and injure more monsters. And when she released a stronger attack, there would be a huge explosion. The blast killed many, while the shock wave injured them. The shock wave was so powerful that it launched the monsters back to the point they injured or even killed other monsters from the collision alone.

Unlike the other battlefields, they had put all three types of unique monsters in this place. The barrier unique monsters couldn’t hold a candle against her arrow. The monsters that attacked from behind with their stones ended up getting sniped from afar. Last but not least, the humanoid monsters couldn’t hit her with their explosion and get hunted down after that.

This was a completely different case from other battlefields. After all, the people banded together to defend their position while Ruth exterminated the monsters.

This was the second battlefield where the human side managed to gain an overwhelming victory against the monsters after Ava.

Seeing how Ruth obliterated them easily lit the fire in everyone’s heart. There was no need to give them encouragement or anything. They only needed to see the result to know that their effort wasn’t useless and the soldiers would get fired up.

Ruth never intended for this, but it was apparent that the situation actually turned her into a hero in this place.

This result was reported to the headquarters.

“Ruth’s area is secured for the time being. Her power is overwhelming the enemies, so there should be no problem.”

Felix and Agata’s expressions mellowed a bit. They felt relieved to know that Ruth could hold on by herself. It meant they only had to worry about the other three Transcendent Level Experts.

“…” Agata wanted to celebrate a little longer, but she still had a lot of things to do, including thinking about the enemy’s attack pattern.

“They have some suspicions. It seems that the monsters are using two layers of attack. The first one is the one that keeps Ruth in check while the others continue to loop around the base to hit our back.”

“…” Agata pinched the bridge of her nose. “This is not good. Looking at this situation, I’m afraid their real objective is the other three Transcendent Level Experts. They are completely avoiding us.”

Felix suddenly stood up as he had worn his long black coat. He was ready to be dispatched.

“Don’t worry. There is no need for Theo to make his move.” Felix smiled, assuring Agata.

Agata looked at Felix in confusion. She was also worried about the situation. But Felix seemed to have a different opinion.

Felix believed that they would be severely weakened without Theo. However, the fact that Theo couldn’t help them in this battle was not a means to demotivate them.

It was precisely because Theo was gone that they could finally show their own worth. There was no one that would overshadow them anymore.

Felix smiled at her as if he was telling her, ‘This is the time for us to shine.’

Agata couldn’t help but shudder. She might have underestimated them. It was true that compared to Theo, they weren’t much. But they were once unique and talented fighters themselves.

In fact, the others like Rea, Isaac, and Ergene were thinking about the same thing.

‘We are here.’

Agata closed her eyes for a moment. It seemed that she was adjusting her mind.

“I see.” Agata’s expression turned serious. “In that case, I have a task for you, Felix. Go to the south and kill as many unique monsters as possible. After that, you don’t have to help them in any way…”

Agata suddenly paused and fell into deep thought as if she had found another thing. “No. Leave one of them alive. After that, you are free to go to the other battlefield. Focus on the three Transcendent Level Experts outside our group first.”

“Got it.” Felix nodded. He didn’t hesitate to leave the room and headed straight to his destination.𝗈𝑽𝑙xt.𝓬𝒪𝚖

Meanwhile, Nella was glancing at Agata as if she had figured out something. She thought, ‘She is extremely sly like Theo. There are two reasons why she wants to leave one alive. First of all, she wants to use them to inform the monsters who are still hiding that the enemies are far too strong and their plans are not effective.

‘This way, the enemies will fall into confusion, causing a ripple in their plan. We can strike them during that time and make them retreat.

‘Secondly, it will allow the respective Transcendent Level Experts to kill one unique monster. It will make them appear to have contributed to this war.

‘It seems Agata doesn’t think about this group and the big picture alone. She is also trying to not harm the relationship between them by using this strategy. It will benefit them greatly after this war.

‘She has seen the scenario far ahead of us.’ Nella sighed inwardly. She was truly amazed by how Agata had changed after meeting Theo.

After confirming Agata’s state, she turned back to her monitor, trying to check the condition on each battlefield.

However, this was the time she began to find all sorts of problems. And there was one glaring problem before her.

She narrowed her eyes to confirm it before turning around and calling Agata. “I think you need to see this.”

“Huh?” Agata was confused. Usually, Nella would report to her instead of calling her.

Having a bad feeling about this, she hurriedly walked to her and checked what she had found.

And just like Nella, she was also astounded by what they had found.

“This is…”
