God of Tricksters

"To be honest, this just gives me another idea." Theo sighed and summoned another four Magic Bullets.

Instead of shooting it, he combined two of them to create a bigger Magic Bullet. If it hit the ground, the Magic Bullet would cause a powerful shock wave like usual.

However, Theo split the two small Magic Bullets first into twenty bullets.

On the other hand, Theo split the bigger Magic Bullet into five bullets. This allowed Theo to have twenty-five bullets, a number that he had never experienced before.

"This…" Lorenzo widened his eyes in amazement. He looked around the bullets. The twenty Magic Bullets looked the same as the previous one, so he wasn't shocked by them.

But the five bullets were significantly bigger than those twenty, as Lorenzo couldn't help but ask. "Are they stronger?"

"I believe yes. Compared to the normal size, these five bullets contain four Magic Bullets each." Theo nodded. "This way, there will be a power difference between my bullets even though the size difference is not that visible like the biggest one."

"I see what you want to do." Lorenzo furrowed his eyebrows. "These five Magic Bullets packed with more power, making it different from the normal bullets. But this is what makes the entire technique great.

"You could combine them into the biggest one and cause powerful destruction, but it lacks speed and it's easy to find.

"On the other hand, if you use these five bullets, you can hide them among your normal Magic Bullets. Then, your opponent will suddenly feel the difference in power between them and get taken aback by this sudden surprise. You can take advantage of it and, bam, defeat them!"

Lorenzo was impressed by Theo's idea and Control again.

"Of course, I can't use it right now. I need to practice more." Theo sighed. "So, this is just a concept."

"Still, this technique is nasty. I can already see how you will defeat your opponents in the future." Lorenzo nodded with a distorted face. He wanted to praise Theo, but he also felt this technique was quite dangerous.

"Well, I showed this to you as thanks for the discussion earlier. It gave birth to this approach after all." Theo smirked.

"I have also thought about utilizing what you showed me earlier… Look at this." Lorenzo picked up his sword next to the chess.

He then pulled it out and raised it on top of his head.

After taking a deep breath, his sword began to shine. He gathered his Magic Power there before waving his sword downwards, releasing the crescent-shaped sword wave forward.

The Sword Wave suddenly split into two, albeit exploded right after.

"Ah!" Lorenzo clicked his tongue and slapped his thigh in frustration. "My control is too shallow for the time being.

"I believe this is what grandfather used." Lorenzo sighed and explained. "Grandfather split his Sword Wave into nine. Then the nine Sword Waves turned into a few more, resulting in all stones and the Goblin Shaman being dismembered.

"And he used his Control to create a thin Sword Wave that packed all that power, making us unable to see the Sword Wave… Or probably it was due to the speed. Either way, that was the case.

"As expected, it required Perfect Control at that level," Lorenzo explained what he found from Leonardo's attack.

"That's kind of true." Theo nodded. "Maybe I can do it with my spear, but I need to practice more. I won't be able to replicate it any time soon."

"It will take me longer than you. And you are still 18 years old while I'm six years older than you…" Dejected, Lorenzo lowered his head.

"Don't mind. I know you can. Besides, isn't it good that we can get something like this just by discussing what we have seen from Sir Leonardo's attack?"

"That's right. I am lucky to be your friend." Lorenzo raised his fist as the two had a fist bump.

"Still, can you imagine what will happen if Mara learns this technique?" Theo asked.

"Ah, that's going to be nasty. I will be chased by a hundred Sword Strikes and forced to avoid it continuously, considering Mara's Sword Strike can be used continuously." Lorenzo nodded. "Though, as a fellow family member, I would like to help her with this.

"However, I wasn't the only one who figured it out, so I suggest another thing. We can trade this information with money from Mara. Basically, she buys the clue for this technique. It will benefit her and bring us money. We will split the money evenly. How's that?"

Theo nodded. "I don't really mind. In fact, how about you tell Ignazio the secret of Sir Leonardo's chess pieces. His Summoned Creatures seem to be the closest to it."

"Ah, that's right. We can squeeze both of them dry, but they won't complain to us because it will be significant for their future progress." Lorenzo smirked. "You're good."

"Not as good as you." Theo chuckled.

"…" Felice, who was listening to their conversation, couldn't help but look away, muttering inwardly, 'I feel like these two shouldn't meet. Theo has influenced Master with his nastiness and Master has given Theo more weird ideas to work with…'

"Well, I think it's time for me to leave. I'm satisfied with the result of my visit." Lorenzo extended his hand.

Theo shook his hand with a smile. "Yes. Me too."

"Call me again if you need my help since I will do the same. Of course, the price is the usual stuff."

"Okay." Theo nodded in agreement.

Theo walked them off to the gate, where Lorenzo recalled certain information.

"That's right. This is just a warning, but I heard you did something nasty to Alice." Lorenzo paused for a moment. "You shouldn't trust her that much. In fact, you should watch out for her revenge. She's petty."

"I understand. I will be careful. Thanks for the warning."

"Yep."

As they walked to the gate, they saw a brown-haired woman standing in front of his gate as she was about to ring the bell.

It was clear who the woman was.

Lorenzo couldn't help but grab Felice's wrist and use his Teleportation. He didn't forget to say, "Oops.. I shouldn't disturb you anymore. Bye!"
