God of Tricksters

Chapter 773 – Illusion

Suddenly, the tree disappeared, revealing that it was nothing but an illusion, startling the monsters.

"!!!" The monsters suddenly slowed down to match the environment. However, Theo was already right in front of them.

The monsters ultimately choose to focus on him, planning to kill him first before understanding what had happened.

Theo clicked his tongue and summoned a blue shield.

Two monsters pounced on him while destroying the blue shield.

Unexpectedly, the moment they were about to strike the blue shield, it shattered into pieces like that of glass.

"!!!" The monsters widened their eyes not because of why it shattered but due to the fact that these shattered pieces were floating in the air.

This was actually not a glass or a shield. These shattered pieces were none other than Theo's Magic Bullets.

This was Theo's strategy in order to trick the monsters.

And he truly had done a brilliant job because the two monsters that attacked the blue shield were now surrounded by the shards, which turned out to be the smaller Magic Bullets.

Boom.

Boom.

The Magic Bullets hit their bodies, ultimately killing them.

On the other hand, Theo had moved back, escaping from them. The blue shield was the answer he found when he recalled Fenrir's teaching.

He turned the Magic Bullets into a shield, tricking the opponent into thinking the shield would be able to block them. And when they actually aimed at his shield, they would be surrounded by Magic Bullets, and it was enough to kill them.

Looking at the dying monsters, a smile appeared on his face.

As if they were angered by the deaths, the remaining two monsters showed their aggression without any thought about another trap lying in ambush.

Theo simply used his Illusion Construct to create multiple pillars on their path.

The monsters avoided all of them instantly, showing their proficiency in going around the forest.

Unfortunately for them, the pillars weren't meant to slow them down. It was to hide another wave of Magic Bullets.

Theo had sent another twenty Magic Bullets into the ground, and they came out right beneath those pillars. This way, the monsters didn't realize there were multiple Magic Bullets waiting for them.

And by the time they sensed them, it was already too late. The Magic Bullets had pierced their bodies, killing them.

"Well, that's it," Theo muttered in a low voice while looking at the monsters. "I don't have any problem tricking Hero Rank Monsters. But a Supreme Rank Monster is harder to trick, let alone fighting multiple of them.

"So, I need to get used to creating the illusion to the point I can handle multiple targets at once. My Control is enough to achieve this level. I only need to beat all this stuff into my body so the latter can produce it at the instinctual level." Theo assessed his own performance.

Despite how easy it was to kill monsters higher level than him, he wasn't satisfied.

He took a deep breath and used his Telekinesis to send all the monsters to him before turning them into a card. After that, he returned to the Cubicar.

Because they had slowed down their pace, Theo had more chances to fight monsters, allowing his understanding of illusion to grow by leaps and bounds.

It continued for more than two weeks because they had finally reached their destination.

Their second destination was the Moniac Dungeon in Moniac Plain, but because of the Cubicar, they needed to adjust their destination a bit.

Maya had told them there was a facility that the Star Group built previously, so they headed to this place to park their Cubicar.

The facility was similar to that of a warehouse. The building stretched for over three hundred feet long.

And due to the danger of being spotted by flying beasts easily, they only made a one-story building on the surface and hid everything else underground.

Theo looked at this building and found a small door along with a huge garage door to the side.

A middle-aged man opened the door with a serious expression, noticing the symbol on the Cubicar.

"!!!" The middle-aged man stopped them to confirm their identity.

Suddenly, Maya walked out of the Cubicar.

"Hello. I'd informed you one month ago about my arrival. I believe the messenger should have come here, right?" Maya smiled, explaining their situation.

"Yes." The middle-aged man hurriedly replied. "I see. You were behind schedule, so I was confused earlier. I apologize."

"Never mind that. Can you open the door for me? I'm going to park here." She waved her hand with a smile.

"Certainly." The man nodded and returned to the inside. Soon, the huge garage door was opened, revealing what was inside.

Theo, who was watching this from above the Cubicar, was surprised to know this place wasn't an artificial nest.

He indeed found a path to go down, but that wasn't filled with monsters. He also found a few Cubicar parked inside.

"What are you doing? Come down here." Maya called him while asking Agata to park the Cubicar into one of the parking spots.

Since they had arrived, Theo jumped off the Cubicar and asked, "What is this facility?"

"Hmm… This facility is similar to a rest area or a checkpoint." Maya answered while furrowing her eyebrows.

"A checkpoint!" Theo soon understood what the purpose of this facility was.

"Yeah. It's like what you think. We have a few features here. There's a training area, a recovery area, a dining area, and so on.

"You can say this is like a hotel on the other side. Of course, the people from the Star Group can use this facility without paying anything. They can use this place to restock their food and water and recover their injuries before going to another place.

"That's why this is a huge benefit for any people who join the Star Group. If you're not a member of the Star Group, you need to pay a huge price and inform this place three months before your arrival.." She smiled before tempting him again. "So, how is it? It's a very useful facility, right? It makes you want to join my Starry Group and affiliate yourself with the Star Group, right?"
