God of Tricksters

The black energy was split by a single wave of Theo’s sword. It didn’t have any strength or skill behind it. There was only a huge amount of energy from Theo’s body. The energy utilized the illusion and the Reality Authority applied it, causing the black energy to be truly split.

Of course, the black energy kept sucking the Magic Power that hit it. Unfortunately, Theo could see that his attack didn’t get absorbed completely. He knew that the original Theo’s power was overpowered, but it wasn’t undefeated.

It was clear from the previous attack that the energy had an absorb speed. As long as he could calculate the energy and time to completely absorb an ability and use something beyond it, he should be able to win.

With that thought in mind, Theo started moving forward, avoiding the black energy.

“It’s useless.” The original Theo shouted while clapping his hands. The black energy that was about to split suddenly came together, forming a thicker energy to stop Theo’s illusion from slicing it apart.

As soon as Theo’s illusion stopped, the original Theo spread his arms. In that instant, the black energy dispersed. A portion of them was about to reach and surround Theo.

But Theo had expected this, so he used the World Re-Creation to expand the reality far from the black energy. This way, the expansion would still continue without the black energy being able to suck the Magic Power.

Realizing that Theo still had a trick up his sleeve, the original Theo tried to fight him in close combat this time. Every time they did this, they always left it to their weapons. But this time, he wanted to grab Theo with the black energy, sucking his energy.

The original Theo moved forward with his spear in the front. Theo wasn’t scared of him and chose to take him on with his sword.

The original Theo enveloped his spear with devouring energy. If Theo used any of his energy to coat his sword, it would only get sucked. At the same time, if he didn’t release his energy, the original Theo would have an overwhelming advantage.

The original Theo knew that Theo must do something in order to not lose. Yet, he couldn’t see some tricks.

Both of them ended up clashing with each other. Theo didn’t release any Magic Power, let alone his ability. He simply withstood the original Theo’s blows with his physical body alone.

The existence of Magic Power could allow someone to release an attack at least three times its original physical strength. So, Theo wasn’t supposed to be able to stop him with his current strength.

Yet, Theo remained calm even though he had to face the unstoppable thrusts from the original Theo.

‘Huh?’ The original Theo gritted his teeth, not being able to gain any advantage over Theo. All his attacks were blocked effortlessly as if Theo wasn’t affected by the devouring energy.

The energy had even approached the Magic Power in Theo’s body, trying to suck it out of his body. Yet, Theo’s poker face remained, causing the original Theo to wonder once again whether Theo had prepared a trick or not.

Theo kept glaring at him in their clash as if he wasn’t bothered by his weapon. He only wanted to face the original Theo.

This kind of action annoyed the original Theo since it looked like Theo underestimated him. He wanted to force Theo to use all his strength. Yet, a part of him was saying that he should defeat Theo when he was this weak.

The original Theo knew that the result was more important than the process. So, he immediately let the devouring energy erupt, trying to surround Theo.

Theo glanced to the side and chose to jump back, avoiding the devouring energy.

The original Theo followed him, not wanting to let him go. He struck him once again, but Theo actually smiled.

“!!!” The original Theo suddenly widened his eyes and his body instinctively stopped. That smile made him think everything went according to plan.𝓞𝔳𝐞𝗅xt.𝒞𝐎𝑚

And once again, nothing happened.

Theo had fooled him again with only a normal smile.

“Kh.” The original Theo gritted his teeth. His anger was gradually increasing. He couldn’t be reckless if he wanted to defeat Theo, but he was truly frustrated by Theo’s trick.

He wanted to use the same tricks, but with Theo’s experiences, it would be easy to see through his intention.

That was why he would be the only one to get frustrated in this battle. And the longer the fight lasted, the higher the probability of Theo defeating him.

The original Theo ended up charging again. He used the Superior Undead Body and Darkness Possession to increase his durability. With this, he should have the reflex to react to anything and the body that could melt everything around him.

Theo maintained his poker face, thinking it wasn’t a big deal.

He had grasped almost everything he needed to know about the original Theo.

He also had completed his preparation, so it was time for a counterattack.

Theo gathered the Magic Power in his sword as if he was trying to enhance its power.

The original Theo couldn’t help but smile, knowing that Theo had become impatient enough. With this, Theo would end up draining more and more energy while he kept absorbing his energy. It would be clear who would win soon.

They approached each other while swinging their respective weapons.

Once the original Theo thrust his spear right at the sword, the black energy started devouring the Magic Power that was used to form the sword. Theo used the Irregular Guardian to maintain the sword form, but this time, he had another surprise for the original Theo.

Once the devouring energy scraped the outer layer of the sword, the wind energy inside the sword that had been compressed this whole time suddenly burst out.

“!!!” The original Theo widened his eyes. He wanted to block it, but he couldn’t even react to the sudden burst of wind.

The wind ended up blowing him. The powerful energy struck his left arm, breaking the bones.

This was Theo’s preparation. Since both he and his clone shared their senses, they could replicate each other’s ability, including the power of Multi-Layer Magic. And with this, the original Theo’s fate had been sealed.
