God of Tricksters

They spent the rest of the night talking about their next plan. Now that Agata had decided where to start the investigation, they could focus on what they were supposed to search for.

When the morning came, Agata, Ava, and Theo headed to the hill on their right with Theo's Telekinesis, allowing them to reach the top of the hill in no time.

As if they were being watched by the monsters around, ten different monsters surrounded them the moment they landed on the ground.

"Huh?" Theo frowned, realizing something was going on.

"It seems they are moving according to someone's instruction," said Ava while narrowing her eyes. "Although I don't understand it, there seems to be a conversation in that direction."

As soon as Ava pointed in the direction of their leader, the monsters didn't hesitate to attack them.

"Is that so?" Theo looked around and raised his spear.

"Let's clear this first. We won't have a good time in defeating their leader if we don't kill these monsters first." Agata added with a serious expression.

"Okay. Let's go." Theo nodded in agreement.

Agata and Theo shared the same thought as they lifted their hands in unison.

Many dirt walls emerged from the ground and turned the same hill into a labyrinth with the help of the trees.

Ava leaped off Theo's shoulder and hid behind the dirt wall while Theo summoned his clone and headed straight to one of them as well.

He didn't hide like Ava. Instead, he waved his spear from the side and cut the illusion along with the monster behind it.

Since the monster was quite powerful, he needed to attack the monster with his clone together to kill it.

On the contrary, Agata was manipulating the terrain continuously. She created a small plain for the monsters to arrive, only to be ambushed with spikes and a few other weapons.

She even had several walls just to direct them to another place, confusing them.

This was Agata's Terrain Manipulation Technique she learned from Theo and Leonardo. And this technique allowed Agata to buy enough time for Theo and Ava. She had indeed come a long way.

At first, her father was concerned with how she planned to get stronger. After all, there were five Mythical Rank Experts in the family, so the pressure of needing to be one was high.

Agata even went to the church to avoid becoming a tool for a political marriage. At that time, her father respected her will and supported her all the way.

Unfortunately, the path to becoming a Mythical Rank Expert was harder than expected. Her strength was powerful, but her father knew with the way she was, she wasn't going to succeed.

Hence, he tried to seek advice to help her, but everything was useless until Agata met Theo in the Grand Gaia Competition.

The relationship between the daughter and the parents was good, so Agata didn't bother to hide her interest. Her desire to get stronger became even fiercer.

Since Theo brought a good influence to her, they didn't bother to stop her. That was why when Agata told them about Theo giving the opportunity to her to learn from Leonardo, they were overjoyed.

They never expected that Theo sacrificed so much for their daughter even though she was only his assistant.

Feeling indebted, they used their family connection to buy the latest technology to help Agata and Theo on their journey.

And this device also helped Agata greatly in manipulating the terrain. The information she compiled this whole time finally benefited her too.

She knew their strength and weakness, allowing her to give a terrain perfect for them. The moment she trapped them, she would hit them with everything she got according to their weakness.

That was why Agata managed to injure them while helping Theo and Ava handle the monsters in front of them. And as soon as Theo finished his job, she would regroup with him and kill the remaining monsters.

With this strong thought in mind, Agata killed all the monsters that she would have a hard time killing previously. Her ability wasn't to trick her enemies anymore. Instead, the moment they were tricked, their lives would be in danger.

In two minutes, they managed to kill ten level 400 monsters.

If her best friend, Enrica, watched her current performance, she would be shocked as she would have a hard time fighting Agata.

Looking at the corpses, Theo used his Telekinesis again and stored the cards in his bag. After that, Ava located their leader and pointed at their location. "That way."

Theo and Agata exchanged looks and nodded before following Ava's direction.

They crossed the woods and encountered some more monsters, but Ava pointed at a certain monster and said, "That's him. He's the one commanding them."

Theo and Agata looked at this two-legged monster. The monster was seven-foot-tall and had giant hands that could make him a good boxer. The arms were also long as the hands almost touched the ground.

It had a muscular figure like a human's and bloodshot eyes like Ava's.

Name: Hill Rabbit

Level: 450-460

Strength: Strong arms and swift legs.

Weakness: soft body.

While they were watching, the Hill Rabbit smirked at Ava.

"Huh?" Ava squinted her eyes and said, "This guy… He seems to be mocking me… Theo, if you don't mind, can you give this to me? I need to teach him some lessons."

"Hmm? You don't even need to hold back since there's no one other than us here." Theo shrugged as he thought Ava must be pissed because the other guy was also a rabbit. "Agata and I will take care of the other monsters."

"Thanks."

Agata didn't know what they were talking about, but she made a weird expression when Ava leaped off his shoulder and transformed into her humanoid form.

Her body was covered with lightning as she leaped toward the Hill Rabbit.

The Hill Rabbit responded with the same move as they pulled their arm and struck each other's fists.

Bam.

A shock wave shook the hill, showing how much power the punches had.

However, the Hill Rabbit was soon blown away and crashed to the tree as Ava was still standing in her position, looking aloof.

"I am still one class above you, trash."
