God of Tricksters

Chapter 863 – Reinforcement

Leonardo gradually opened his eyes, showing a sharp gaze that never appeared when he taught Theo. 

Suddenly, eight armor appeared. These were Leonardo's pawns.

All of them raised their swords at the same time and released their Magic Power, channeling them to Leonardo. 

At the same time, a huge dome-shaped barrier emerged from the ground, trapping everyone inside. 

Without hesitation, Marzio grabbed Valerie's waist and leaped out of the barrier before it was too late. 

When they left, Eric immediately jumped toward Leonardo, not giving him any chance to use this attack. 

Unfortunately for him, two spinning white beams fell right on top of him, pushing him back to the ground. 

Eric waved his hand and disintegrated these two attacks with ease. However, he could find two bishops appearing next to Leonardo. 

After that, two armor with giant shields jumped toward Leonardo to lend him their strength.

"No. I'm not going to let you!" Eric gritted his teeth as the ground started bulging out. A huge humanoid figure suddenly took shape and waved its hands toward Leonardo to stop whatever Leonardo planned to do. 

Unfortunately for him, the two huge hands that were about to slap Leonardo to death were severed and flew into the air.

"!!!" Eric widened his eyes and saw two knights standing in the air with their horses. 

All Leonardo's chess pieces had finally appeared as they lent their power to Leonardo. 

The latter clapped his hand as the white light started shining brightly. 

"What is this? No. I should escape." Eric clicked his tongue and leaped toward the barrier, trying to disintegrate it. However, the more he tried to destroy the shield, the faster the recovery rate of the barriers, making it impossible to escape. 

"Do you think I'm going to give you the chance to escape? Even if the Griffith Family can escape, you're the only one who can't be left alive." Leonardo stated as he released all his strength. "Grand Chess."

The white light became even brighter to the point no one could stand the light and closed their eyes. As for those who were still inside the barrier, Leonardo and Eric were basked in this kind of white light. 

The white light looked like an explosion. However, the barrier that the rooks made held everything down, making sure nothing escaped. 

All the things inside the barrier were reduced into nothing in an instant. Even the concrete or the road couldn't escape from this light, let alone Eric. 

When the light disappeared, there was a huge sphere of nothingness. Everything was completely gone. Not even a dust remained. 

The light engulfed everything inside as though it was a living being. The barrier ultimately melted because of the white light's power.

"Is this it?" Valerie's body shook as she saw no signs of Eric Griffith's survival. 

The answer came in the form of action. Marzio waved his hand and shot a golden beam. "Star Guidance." 

The star-shaped light flew to the left as though it was locked to someone. 

Without sparing a single word, Leonardo followed the star. He increased his speed, finding Eric running away with his back facing the enemy. 

Half of his clothes had been destroyed and his body had become red as though he had been heated up inside a microwave. 

When he realized Leonardo's plan, he knew he should leave this country because the War God Family was stronger than he expected. 

Eric wanted to use his illusion to trick Leonardo, but he noticed the golden light on Leonardo's shoulder that kept moving together with him. 

"Kh." He gritted his teeth, knowing that the star would be able to locate him even if he used an illusion. It was the gap between them. 

Although he wouldn't necessarily lose against the current leader of the War God Family, Marzio, he couldn't do anything if Leonardo aimed at his life too. 

'Since when the War God Family becomes this strong in individual combat?' Eric gritted his thought, thinking he would be in too much danger if he stayed there. 'The Barbe Group… Are they going to fulfill their promises?"

Eric clenched his hands while thinking it was impossible to escape. Still, as one would expect from the Griffith Family, he didn't give up. 

Eric raised both hands and formed a huge tornado, close to the natural disaster. The twister reached Leonardo to stop him down. 

However, Leonardo's King raised his sword and waved it diagonally, releasing a white-colored light from his sword. 

The light cut the tornado, and the remaining shock wave blew the tornado's eye away, resulting in the entire tornado disappearing. 

After that, Leonardo emerged from within and continued his chase. The plan was going smoothly and Eric should go down soon if not because of the appearance of five Mythical Rank Experts. 

These five Mythical Rank Experts brandished their weapons toward Leonardo. One of them was also a summoner, so he summoned a golem and a bird surrounded by lightning to confront Leonardo. 

Leonardo leaped two feet above the air when another Mythical Rank Expert appeared from thin air, almost cutting his feet.

After that, the two summoned creatures charged at him. Luckily, the eight pawns came and surrounded them, not giving these creatures any chance to attack Leonardo. 

Two Mythical Rank Experts stood in his way. The first expert leaped toward Leonardo's King and struck forth. Leonardo's King stopped his blade with his own sword.

At the same time, the other expert hit Leonardo with his spear, trying to halt his steps. 

Another Mythical Rank Expert released an arrow that excreted an extraordinary pressure to the point it chipped away a part of the road. 

Leonardo's Bishops appeared. One of them created a white circle that blocked the arrow while the other one released a beam to launch a counterattack, forcing the archer to step back. 

And the last Mythical Rank Experts released red-colored fireballs that split into many to confuse Leonardo.

Two Rooks appeared with their shields and formed a barrier, blocking all the incoming attacks.

Leonardo didn't even flinch when he avoided all these Mythical Rank Experts and continued to chase Eric.. "No one can stop me from killing you today."
