God of Tricksters

"You… You are… You are Ray Griffith." The Red Lion recognized the man standing above the sky.

The man maintained his silence, staring at this old man.

"You are his father?" The Red Lion drew a gasp before gritting his teeth. "Don't tell me. You're using your own son as the bait to lure me here?"

Ray's eyebrows twitched when he heard that question. "Me using my son as bait, even when my own family is trying to harm him? Are you joking with me?"

He took a deep breath and calmed his anger before continuing, "However, I really need to thank you."

The Red Lion was bewildered by his last statement. "Thank me?"

"Yes. With your life, I can start making preparations to kill those who are aiming at my son. Shouldn't I thank you?" Ray snapped his finger.

Suddenly, the cloud above them swirled and began to disperse, creating a giant hole above the sky as if Heaven had just sent their representative.

Next to the cloud, the Red Lion saw someone standing. Her body was covered with white armor and a pair of white wings emerged from her back.

The wing spread, and the woman raised her hand as though calling something from the sky.

"God Killing Spear…"

A huge white blade emerged from the cloud, followed by a pure white handle with one golden stripe circling around it.

"Valkyrie!" The Red Lion gritted his teeth and realized Ray had been pinning him down with all this Magic Power. It created an opportunity for his wife to summon the spear that made her famous, God Killing Spear.

"Ghhh!" The Red Lion struggled to get up as his body began to turn into molten lava. After that, he produced all the magma and shaped it into a giant body.

It kept rising until a huge black-colored lion rose from the ground. The lion was a hundred feet tall, towering over the trees.

"I am not going down." The Red Lion shouted as a red light began to appear behind the black body, heating up the body. He then let out an earth-shattering roar, transmitting the heat from his body.

"Don't think you can stop me, Magic Emperor, Valkyrie."

The heat brushed the nearby trees and immediately set them ablaze. The Magic Power above him also dispersed a little bit, making the residual Magic Power too weak to pin him down.

He then raised his head, looking at the God Killing Spear.

When it was about to hit him, the Red Lion leaped to the air and bit the spear.

As soon as he landed, the shock wave blew all trees around him and shook the ground. His teeth began to melt the spear, but he also used a huge amount of Magic Power to destroy this spear.

"I am still slightly stronger than you both!" he shouted while shattering the spear into pieces.

"Yes. We know… If we had enough strength, we wouldn't have to leave our son behind and do all this shit." Ray arrived next to the Red Lion, looking at his giant belly. He pulled his fist and gathered a vast amount of Magic Power. "Magic Saint Fist Style, Induction Fist."

He hit the lion's belly as the Magic Power dispersed to the surrounding area, creating a huge shock wave that shook the entire forest.

Luckily, they were already far enough from the ant nest or Theo would have felt the overwhelming shock wave this punch produced. On top of that, two Mythical Experts also stood between them, repelling any attacks that would harm or affect Theo.

"Argh!" The Red Lion screamed in pain and rolled a few times, demolishing everything on the ground.

The attack didn't stop there. Valerie was already standing in the air above him. She grabbed the spear with both hands. The spear's blade was pointing down as if she wanted to plant the spear to the ground.

"Sky Spear."

Huge white energy formed a spear without a handle and flew down.

The Red Lion saw this and tried to get away, albeit he was too late.

The spear hit his belly as a huge amount of lava burst out of his body like that of blood.

"Argh!"

Ray appeared on top of him with his foot above his head. He then struck the air down. "Magic Saint Kick Style, Ground—"

Before he finished, the lion's tail moved like a whip and smacked him.

It was too fast for Ray to react and he crashed to the ground. Instead of rolling down, Ray managed to use his feet to land and dealt with the momentum alone.

On the other hand, Valerie hurriedly used another skill to stop the Red Lion from moving.

She raised both hands and summoned numerous spears. Each spear was thirty feet long, perfect for hunting a lion this big.

"Spear Rain."

The Red Lion obviously didn't stay there and let her hit him again. He forced his body up, even if it meant the spear stuck in his belly.

After that, the spear suddenly melted, and the two tips suddenly fell off as there was no more connection between them.

The big wound began to recover.

Seeing the incoming spears, the Red Lion's cheeks bloated before he spewed out a huge amount of lava into the air, melting all the spears.

"Cherufe. Evil Creature made of rock crystals and magma…" Valerie muttered while squinting her eyes. As someone from the War God Family, she was the only one who could close the gap between them. "He also has extraordinary Endurance and Breathing…"

She extended her hand forward as a white spear appeared. This was her own white spear. Unlike the previous spear, this one had blue and golden patterns that complement the pure white color on the spear.

She descended from the sky with her spear in the front.

The Red Lion responded by sweeping his paw.

Valerie struck the paw and withstood his power for a second before spinning her body, moving past his attack.

She flew toward the lion's head, planning to cut him down.

Suddenly, the Red Lion smiled as if everything went according to his plan. He opened his mouth and turned the entire mouth to magma, so she couldn't cut him and start melting inside.

However, Valerie came from the War God Family. Dealing with this kind of tactic was easy. Her lips also curved as a blue-haired man appeared next to the lion's head, kicking the head and blowing him away.

"Magic Saint Kick Style, Inertia."

Bam.
