God of Tricksters

"…" Maya furrowed her eyebrows while glancing over Theo's wound. He was clearly bleeding and made her worry because Theo could collapse anytime. "Are you sure you don't want to stop? I know that you want to win, but how about we stop here?"

"No." The Injured Theo shook his head with a serious expression. "I am good. I can still go on."

"How about you tell me the skill you wish to buy? I can get it for you as long as you fulfill your side of the agreement." She tried to negotiate with Theo, not wanting him to get a heavy injury in this situation.

Theo didn't answer her anymore and charged toward her. 

Seeing the two Theos coming, Maya fired her shotgun.

The two Theos split up while avoiding the bullets, summoning their Magic Bullets.

Maya threw another small ball that released the gas, destroying the Magic Bullets.

However, Theo had expected it, so he waved his hand up, lifting the water.

The water surface started to stick out until it burst open, spurting a huge amount of water.

Maya flew back to avoid it while changing to another gun. She seemed to want to end this battle as soon as possible by bringing her rocket launcher out.

She aimed at the top while using her skill. "Dispersion."

The rocket launcher released a blue ball that suddenly split into twenty in all directions.

"…" Theo furrowed his eyebrows and flew away because the blue balls exploded before they even touched the water. The shock wave pushed Theo away.

Theo was quite surprised by the power. Despite the explosion dispersed in twenty different locations, the blast was quite powerful. If the Ground Dragon had met this attack with his head, he might die because the explosions would have hit the brain.

The water splashed and made him wet. Maya even added, "If this were seawater, you would have started wailing in pain."

"If you think you can defeat me with something like this, then you're completely wrong." The Injured Theo shouted, showing his determination in defeating her.

"Tsk." Maya clicked her tongue, knowing that words couldn't convince him. She fully reloaded her shotgun while Theo was pushed back.

After that, she flew to the Healthy Theo and fired at him.

Bam.

Theo flew upward to avoid the attack.

While seeing how the bullets exploded, he made his way to Maya together with his clone.

The two planned to attack her together.

However, Theo showed her the full version of the one he showed her in the hotel.

Both Theo and his clone used their Telekinesis to create an eel made of the lake's water.

Maya sucked a cold breath. Despite not having any details on its appearance, she could see the water was spinning around.

"Uah, those eels… It's going to rip my arms apart if it hits me." Maya chuckled and thought she still had the advantage.

Suddenly, Theo moved forward while waving his spear. The eel moved together with his spears and struck Maya from two directions.

Maya increased her altitude to avoid the eels and saw how they hit each other.

The water burst to the top and hit her, covering her vision.

Theo and his clone then appeared next to her and waved their spears at the same time, trying to take advantage of the situation.

As if she had expected a move like this, Maya aimed at the spear in front of her, blasting the tip from point blank range.

Bang.

Theo was taken aback and blown away. She purposely aimed at the spear because Theo was injured. Meanwhile, she had no hesitation in pointing her handgun at the healthy Theo.

Bang.

Bang.

The bullets pierced his heart and head as Theo started to disappear, leaving only his spear to fall down.

When the water had calmed down, only the Injured Theo and Maya left on top of the water.

Maya still looked at Theo's wound that started getting worse. Even Theo's face had turned pale.

"It's better we stop this." Maya shook her head. "Just admit defeat. I will fulfill my side of the agreement as well. It's not something you should risk your life for… It's just a skill."

Theo panted and said, "That's for you. I am just a poor boy. This skill is beyond my entire fortune."

Maya squinted her eyes. "It's okay. You're worth it. Just take it as my goodwill to give you this skill. I hope you can put more consideration in choosing your future. How's that?"

Theo smirked. "To think the rude princess can show compassion… I thought you were going to say, 'I have earned this. You said you are a poor boy? It's just an excuse because you never tried to be extraordinary.' Or something along the lines."

"…" Maya's eyebrows twitched as she sighed. "I am rude, yes, I admit it. But I never play with people's lives."

"You think?" Theo snorted and flew forward. "Then, I shall win this. I'm curious what kind of words you will use if you lose against this poor person."

"You! You must be kidding!" Maya's face was distorted. She raised her voice and started getting angry. "I don't appreciate you playing with your life. Since you want to do this, I am going to finish it as soon as possible."

Theo smiled and said, "Try it."

Theo tried to summon his clone, but the clone disappeared right away. His face was already pale and his body seemed to be weak because of the blood loss.

Maya didn't know how Theo could be so stubborn.

Theo gritted his teeth as if he was frustrated by the failure. Maya lowered her aim and fired at his legs.

Bam.

Theo thrust his spear and dispersed his Cannon Blast to destroy the bullets. The shock wave pushed Maya back, albeit it wasn't enough to injure her.

He then released his Magic Bullets with no turn or whatsoever as if he had started losing control over his Magic Bullets.

"It's enough." Maya gritted her teeth and blocked all of them with her shield.

Boom.

Boom.

She contained all the explosions while gritting her teeth.

However, everything was a trap from Theo. The moment she stopped, twenty Magic Bullets emerged from the water, surrounding her.

"What?!"
