God of Tricksters

Chapter 938 – Entering The Mist

"What are you going to do?"

Theo was still someone from the Star Group. There was no way they would let Winston harm Theo recklessly.

Though, for Mark, it was more for his personal safety since no one could tell what would happen to him if Theo was pissed. He might even steal his soul and torture him again.

"You better stop, Winston. I don't mind fighting against you if you still want a spar." Mark said with a cold face while adding inwardly, 'Dude. Just give up, please. My life is on the line.'

Of course, there was no way he could say that.

On the other hand, Maya was already aware of Joker's real identity. There was no way she would let Winston do whatever he wanted.

'He hasn't died! I know it. He even joins the Star Group… Why didn't he come to me?' Maya thought while maintaining her poker face.

"What is this? Don't you want to know more about Joker? Just let them fight, Maya." Lexie smirked, trying to incite the chaos. She was curious about the person that could force Winston to kneel.

"Sure, I want to know him. But this is the business between the Star Group and the Starry Group. An outsider like you has no right to interfere." Maya snorted, not giving away even a single clue about Theo's identity.

Winston gritted his teeth and clenched his hands. Mark and Maya were in the right position to harm him.

Ultimately, he could only let go of this matter and closed his eyes.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do anything to him. Just take my advice, dude. It's from someone who has fought him." Mark let out a long sigh while retracting his wind.

Maya wanted to warn him as well since Theo might cause a ruckus to his family, but that would give away too much of his identity. In the end, she said, "He's an S Rank Talent of the Star Group. You surely know what that means…"

Maya put down her gun and walked away, following Theo. "Now that I have seen what I wanted to see, it's time for me to go back to my group."

Mark glanced at her and finally let the matter go. Winston was surely not stupid enough to ignore that warning.

The tension in the air started loosening as everyone was shocked by what they had witnessed.

No matter how the battle between both of them went, Winston was at fault here because he was the one who stood in Theo's way. It was clear Theo never intended to fight someone. So, if Winston still attacked him, they would be able to see how petty he was. And the family behind him would be affected as well since Winston was considered an extremely talented person.

After arriving at an empty spot, Theo finally sat down to the ground. He asked, "Anyway, is this spot good enough for everyone?"

The people from the Star Group couldn't answer him immediately as they were still sorting their thoughts. They never expected that their S Rank Talent could do all that.

Ultimately, they exchanged looks, wondering if someone had an objection. After all, they didn't dare to voice any disapproval alone.

Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, no one raised their opinion as though they settled with this choice.

"I'm someone from the Star Group. As long as no one provokes me, I won't give you any problems. And… this is just a simple argument, if you don't like it, we can find another spot. Or would you prefer to wait for Mark to make that decision?" Theo sighed, thinking he might have overdone it.

At first, he only wanted to increase his reputation by making Winston fall to the ground. But since Winston personally came to him, he couldn't help but use his Illusion to make Winston lose the feeling of his feet so that it was easier for him to make him kneel.

And this action backfired as the people of the Star Group were too scared to even speak to him.

Theo shrugged and said, "Anyway, feel free to do anything until we can enter."

Since there was no point in talking to them, he sat down on the ground and leaned back on the tree, waiting for the time to enter. A few of them had stayed behind to watch out for the coldness, so they could go as soon as they returned to this spot.

Meanwhile, Mark had returned as Theo asked him whether he wanted to move to another spot before receiving the same answer as the others.

He sighed and stayed silent in the corner.

Maya also passed him with a cheeky grin as if she already knew his identity.

Theo had predicted she had already found out his real identity since there was no other person except for him from Thersland, who would be strong enough to be considered an S Rank Talent of the Star group.

Luckily, the only thing she did was greet him as if she didn't know him and return to her own team.

Theo felt relieved since Maya didn't seek problems and continued waiting.

Two hours later.

"The coldness has dropped to the acceptable level. It's said to last for 186 hours this time." A member of the Star Group informed the entire group.

Since the confirmation was there, Theo immediately rose from his spot and entered the mist, not wanting to get another weird stare from those people.

However, the moment he entered, he received something he never expected.

[In the beginning, there was only coldness. A high-pitched voice resounded from the center of the coldness, 'brave warriors will be trapped inside the unending coldness, but the weak will find the true path between the cold.']

[The living can see the path to go back, but the dead can find the path to go forward. Go up and you shall gain everything. Go down and you shall receive judgment. Just as cold arose out of the ground, and all terrible things, all beings searched for the warm and glowing land, only to melt and drip when the breath of heat met the rime.]

[What can be seen never exists, but what can't be seen has existed since the beginning.. Don't be misled, for all things are inverted.]
