God of Tricksters

All of them wouldn't expect that Theo never moved from his position.

It was only the illusion of himself.

Yet, despite everyone hating him after getting tricked, this performance didn't satiate Theo's desire.

He clicked his tongue and muttered inwardly, 'Tch. This is the only thing I can do after learning it for two days. If only I had learned how to use illusions better from the start, I would have gotten better than this. Illusion becoming a reality, huh.'

Obviously, no one in this place shared the same disappointment. Even Diego narrowed his eyes and gulped down, thinking, 'He is already this good? I could see that it was an illusion, but everything looked so real that I doubted myself for a second there.'

Miyoko couldn't see it because the anger already got into his head. He discharged all the lightning to his sword and charged at him.

"Ha!"

Theo smiled and raised both spears before using his Blink when he was about to reach him.

"Yep. And here I am…" Theo smiled as he appeared in front of Masahiko.

"Seriously? I'm the first target?" Sweats covered his forehead as Masahiko took a leap back.

At the same time, a blue-colored wolf showed its presence behind Theo.

Yet, Theo continued extending his hand to Masahiko despite knowing the wolf already opened its mouth.

Theo took a deep breath, used his Telekinesis and released his Magic Power to the limit.

Masahiko clicked his tongue and got pushed back. However, he somehow changed his dance and escaped that powerful push from Theo right on edge.

On the contrary, the wolf had its own head flying before reaching Theo.

Next to the wolf was Alea with her sword down as if she just made a complete swing.

However, Miyoko obviously wouldn't let this slide as he quickly returned to help Masahiko. To prevent Theo from pushing him off, he planned to strike Alea to force Theo to help Alea instead of focusing on Masahiko.

And he did exactly as he thought, albeit with his clone.

Clone Theo struck his sword and stopped it easily. The lightning couldn't get close to him because of Theo's Telekinesis and both of them had the same amount of strength.

"I guess it's not that easy to push him off," Theo muttered and turned around, heading straight to Takuro.

"I won't let you!" Miyoko roared as he released all the lightning inside his body. "Lightning Speed."

Clone Theo tried to stop him, but Miyoko's strength was indeed a bit faster than he imagined.

"Theo!" Alea shouted, planning to strike Miyoko down, but Masahiko already struck her again, not letting her help Theo.

"Your opponent is me." Masahiko smiled.

Theo stopped and turned around, raising his spear against Miyoko, who already got fed up with him.

"Thunder Strike."

"Cannon Blast." Theo struck his sword with all his energy, but Miyoko released an unprecedented level of might and pinned him to the ground as a loud thunder echoed in everyone's ears.

"I won't let you escape again," Miyoko shouted in anger.

"But…" Theo shook his head helplessly. "You never caught me."

Suddenly, Theo disappeared, leaving only his "Clone" standing on the battlefield. And once again, he soon realized that the "Original" Theo was actually the "Clone".

In that instant, Theo summoned his clone again and charged at Matsuhiko together.

"Magic Bullet." Theo and his clone released all eighty Magic Bullets and used the Tracking ability to slow down Miyoko.

At the same time, Alea understood what he planned to do and waved her sword. "Melting Sword."

"Water vanquishes Fire." Matsuhiko released his power and swallowed Alea's fire with his own water. After that, he used another dance to take a few step backs in quick succession before walking to the side in an unpredictable way.

"Grand Burst." Alea didn't let him escape, at least until Theo caught up.

"River Wave." Matsuhiko obviously wouldn't allow him to be at a disadvantage since Alea and Theo would be the worst pair to chase you in this competition.

The water formed a current and suppressed the explosion, but there were already three explosions that occurred in the arena.

And Alea had fulfilled her objective because Theo used his Telekinesis again to lift the rock up, throwing it to him.

"Water Spiral." Matsuhiko spun his body and created a water sprout that swallowed everything and tossed them to the sky.

"Cannon Blast." When Theo was about to attack Matsuhiko, Miyoko appeared before him and struck his spear down to the ground.

He looked frustrated because Theo had been playing tricks on him this whole time as if he was planning to ignore him.

However, it didn't stop there. Theo took one step forward by shouting, "Alea!"

'You are truly a messed up one. Using my own eyes to give me a signal…' Alea smiled because Theo let her see what he planned just by a few glances of his eyes. And during that time, he kept glancing over to the side, specifically Ellen's position. It was the biggest hint she could get.

With that signal, Alea waved her sword upward, creating a small spark on the ground that turned into nine heads.

"Third Labour, Devouring Hydra!"

"No!" Matsuhiko shouted and realized Theo's real target was not him but Takuro.

In that instant, Clone Theo used his Blink to appear on top of his own spear. He picked it up and ran together with the hydra's heads while Theo finally clashed seriously with Miyoko with a smile on his face. "You want to face me, right? Sure. Let me play with you."

"Takuro!"

Takuro was taken aback because they clearly saw how Miyoko and Matsuhiko failed to control Theo in this arena.

The ape went between him and the hydra and planned to sacrifice himself to stop them. But Theo slipped past the ape's defense and charged straight at him.

His spear was covered with Magic Power that was supposed to be the signature appearance of his Cannon Blast.

Hence, Takuro raised his sword to stop him for a second before summoning another creature to help him, albeit the Magic Power was actually fake.

Right after their weapons clashed, Theo dropped his spear and extended his hand, pointing it at Takuro's stomach.

"Not good." Takuro's expression turned pale as he knew what Theo planned to do.

"Bye." Theo released the Magic Power and his Telekinesis, launching him away.

After that, Ellen kicked his waist and blew him outside the ring.

"Takuro's out!"
