God of Tricksters

Before they could move, Theo and the monkey took down a few more people. Eventually, they were truly scared to the point they leaped to the wall, trying to escape from the top.

However, Isaac used his Gravity Skill and sealed their movements, pulling them back down. After that, Theo eliminated every single one of them without hesitation.

Theo might rarely kill people, but it didn't mean he wasn't able to kill them. He simply had no need to eliminate them since others would take care of them.

Now that everyone wanted to keep them alive for him to use his Illusion Skill, he decided not to waste his time and kill them.

"Wait, Joker!" Isaac shouted, trying to stop Theo from killing the last few assassins. With their current strength and number, they should be able to suppress these few assassins.

But Theo had no sign of stopping and eliminated all assassins.

"What did you do…" Maya widened her eyes. Since the assassin admitted they were coming for her, Maya thought about finding the person behind them.

And with all of them dying, there was no way to find that truth.

"You… Didn't you plan to get some information from them?" Maya asked with a dumbfounded expression. She was completely speechless that Theo actually didn't fulfill his agreement.

This was the first time Theo acted like this.

"…" Theo fell silent for a moment, looking at Maya mysteriously. There was no change of expression on his face, but it was clear that Theo was different from the usual him.

Then, they started remembering the shout on top of the cliff, claiming Theo's real identity. In the end, they didn't manage to tell others about Theo's real identity.

"You…" Isaac was speechless, trying to get some words out of his mouth. However, what Theo did was simply shocking. He thought, 'Why did Joker kill them so easily? They still had some uses, so it was better to spare some of them… Even if they were elites, they shouldn't be able to withstand his ability.'

'Wait a minute. He's not someone who does something meaningless. Does he know something that we don't? Or is it because of his identity? Or is there something wrong with the assassins?' Mark had many questions in his mind as the atmosphere became heavy again. He was about to open up to Theo according to Isaac's request, yet he couldn't do it due to this suspicion.

Meanwhile, Maya furrowed her eyebrows. As someone who knew about Joker's real identity, Maya was a bit skeptical when she heard that shout.

Since the assassin said that, Theo should have used his trademark ability. However, she couldn't understand the reason why Theo revealed those skills, considering Theo should be strong enough to fight the assassins even without those.

'Is there something wrong with him?' Maya pondered, waiting for Theo to give the reason for his action.

Theo fell silent for a moment. It was true that he planned to torture them with his Illusion Manipulation. Although he was aware that the pain in his Illusion Manipulation could be expelled by the Magic Power, he could simply use the image of the soul to fool them, just like how he usually operated.

Yet, Theo chose to back down from the agreement and changed his plan.

There was one reason for this action. It was due to how fast the assassins reacted to his illusion.

He thought the moment he pulled their soul out, the assassins would envelop their body with Magic Power and the illusion would break.

And the moment everyone realized it was just an illusion, his identity would become clear sooner or later.

But then, he could simply bring them somewhere else to interrogate them. Since he didn't want to reveal his identity, no one would ask anything if he decided to drag them somewhere else to get the information.

That was why Theo's current action was weird in their eyes.

He might get the target out of their mouth, but it didn't mean anything since all the assassins were dead.

Theo somehow became distant as he maintained his mysterious aura.

Even the others wanted to say something but ended up keeping their mouth shut when they saw his eyes.

Meanwhile, Theo was thinking about the reason as well in his head. 'Why, huh? My original plan was to use my Order, Illusion, and mask to gain some information from them by making them believe I was one of them.

'But I ended up scrapping that plan because it would mean I showed my Illusion Abilities to the others. No, that wasn't it… Why didn't I think this through? I should have known that I would show my ability after thinking about the plan… Yet, why did I even plan something like that?'

Theo was also stunned by his decision and thought today. On his normal days, Theo was a careful person and his mind always tried to make the best plan possible.

Yet, there was something wrong with him today.

'Why? This is not like me. I don't even have the answer to their question…' Theo was racking his brain just to get some words out to convince them, albeit he was struggling to find one.

'This is the first time I did something like this… Why did I even come up with a foolish plan and execute it when I should have thrown it and used another plan….' Theo gulped down as this might be the first time he would have no explanation for his action.

After all, Theo's rule for the Reality Order was to never lie. If he ended up lying to his friends here meant he broke that rule. When that happened, no one could tell what the result would be.

The world could take away his Order, the relationship between him and his Order might weaken, or nothing might happen at all.

That was why Theo was thinking about how to solve this situation.

As if trying to answer his doubt, the God of Mischief suddenly connected to him to get his attention and solve his problem.

[It seems you need another clue about Order, especially the Destiny Order and Reality Order.]
