God of Tricksters

"Clone." Theo summoned his clone and handed the spear in an instant.

"It won't be the same as the game anymore." Nella smirked and walked forward carefully, observing Theo's every movement.

On the contrary, Theo summoned all the Magic Bullets and split them.

Looking at all these eighty Magic Bullets, Nella didn't show any fear. She simply stated, "You can't fool me anymore."

"Yeah. Try this one then." Theo smiled and shot all the Magic Bullets to the sky, using the blinding light from the sun as his cover.

Even Nella squinted her eyes because she couldn't see the Magic Bullets. She quickly clapped her hands and dispersed her Magic Power, turning it into a protective barrier.

The Magic Bullets poured down like rain and created a series of explosions.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

Nella managed to stop all of them and saw Theo coming at her with his clone.

Both of their spears had started glowing as Theo infused his Magic Power into them.

"Cannon Blast."

This attack was more powerful than Nella's barrier, so she quickly retracted the Magic Power and waved her hand to the side, releasing the Magic Power to hit both spears from a distance.

That power knocked Theo's spear to the side and hit his own clone in the process, obliterating him.

When Nella was about to grab this opportunity, three Magic Bullets suddenly fell down as one of them struck her hand and grazed it while the other two missed.

"What?!" Nella widened her eyes in surprise.

Using this shock, Theo spun his body once and delivered a kick to Nella's stomach.

Bam.

The latter crashed to the wall with a small graze on her hand.

Seeing this clash, Sheira couldn't help but share her observation. "Did Theodore just change the trajectory of his bullet?

"From what I can see, the reason there were three late bullets was due to him adding a bit more power in his Force Control for those three bullets, allowing him to send those bullets to a higher level.

"When the bullets started flying down, the three still flew upward for another one or two seconds. And, with all eighty bullets in the picture, it's not possible to count the bullets anymore. That's why Nella didn't realize there were three more bullets left.

"Also, the fact that he used the sunlight to blind Nella made her think she had destroyed all of them, creating a perfect opportunity for this type of attack to connect. As a result, there is a small wound on her arm and she just got blown away by a kick."

The audience was astonished after hearing Sheira's explanation. They never expected Theo to think that far ahead.

However, Sheira missed one thing. There was a chance for Nella to move forward, escaping this situation easily.

Hence, Theo used that Cannon Blast to stop her to prevent this from happening.

After all, he couldn't use the Tracking ability his Magic Bullet possessed due to the change of multiple bullets. That was the reason two of them missed.

Listening to her explanation, Nella couldn't help but smile. "As expected from you, Cousin."

Theo already summoned his clone and prepared to charge at her, but Nella hurriedly summoned her Magic Bullets and sent it to Theo, creating multiple turns to confuse him.

Unfortunately for her, Theo and his clone used their Elemental Shields. Those four shields could protect them from all directions.

On the contrary, Nella only used it to come out of the wall and regained her stability.

She dropped the blood that flowed out of the wound on her arm, dropped a copper coin and called the dog before summoning the Empusa.

"I call thee, Empusa."

The black-colored sphere reappeared as it gathered all the necessary ingredients before turning into the Empusa.

Without Nella's instruction, the Empusa quickly charged at Theo before his clone came in her way.

"Swift Energy." Clone Theo thrust his spear three times while the Empusa blocked all three of them with its sharp hands before a crack appeared on one of them.

"Blink." Theo used his Teleportation Skill to emerge next to the Empusa, planning to end it in one blow. "Swift Energy."

"Do you think I will let you do it again?" Nella came straight at him, planning to hit his head to knock him out.

However, Clone Theo used his Blink to appear before her eyes.

"Magic Saint Fist Style. Induction Fist." As if she knew what Clone Theo planned to do, she already used her attack to deliver the most powerful blow that would pierce through him and hit the real him.

Unexpectedly, Clone Theo didn't use his Elemental Shields. Instead, he snapped his finger and stomped the ground, destroying the ground beneath them.

Nella widened her eyes and lowered her vision, noticing it was an illusion. She quickly stomped the ground and destroyed that illusion, turning back the crater to a mere flat ground.

After that, she continued her strike, albeit that split second was what Theo needed to deliver the killing blow to the Empusa while Nella did the same to his clone.

With no one between them anymore, Theo and Nella's eyes intertwined.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Theo's face, stunning Nella for a second. In fact, that smile somehow scared her a bit as if something unexpected would come had she continued.

Little did she know, that smile was just a fake. He used that split-second confusion to regain his balance and waved his spear to blow her away.

"!!!" Nella used both hands to protect her body but ended up landing a few feet away.

At the same time, Clone Theo had already reemerged and picked up the spear before becoming four Theos with the exact appearance.

"What? There are four? No, they are an illusion. Sh*t, I missed the real one… Which one is—" Before she finished, her vision returned to Theo as if she understood his plan.

Theo turned out to use that confusion to copy himself.

'There are only seven. Where is the other one?' Nella thought before turning around as she felt another presence, albeit found nothing behind her.

"!!!" She instinctively waved her hand to the side before Theo entered the corner of her eyes, but it turned out she managed to hit Theo's spear and tried to use that movement to stop Theo's sneak attack.

However, Theo actually let Nella hit that spear to make her think like that. He then ducked down and kicked her at the same spot he struck earlier, blowing Nella to the wall again.

Bam.

"This is great… This is great!" Nella chuckled as her hands joined together. She created a small gap between the two hands and formed a small ball of concentrated Magic Power. "Mana Concentration Bomb."
