God of Tricksters

Theo looked at him with a serious expression and said, "I've come. It seems I've made you wait."

"You sure do. It's been a while since I can use my power. As expected of the energy when ranking up to the Mythical Rank, it's surely quite big." The God of Mischief smirked.

Theo also realized that the time he could see these people were longer and longer as he rose through the ranks.

"I'm gonna tell you this one thing. Even though I'm going to limit myself to your level, I'll show you the full power of an Authority."

Theo raised his hand and tried to channel his power. As expected, he could summon his spear easily and utilize his Magic Power the way he used to. In other words, there was no need to hold back anymore.

Theo imagined a spear using his Reality Order and illusion, creating a pair of spears. After that, his clone appeared next to him and received one of the spears.

Looking at the God of Mischief, he said, "Then, there's no need to hold back, right?"

The God of Mischief smirked and summoned a staff. There was nothing extraordinary from the staff. The handle was made of sturdy metal, and the eye of the staff was created by using a crystal that could channel a huge amount of Magic Power.

"Come." The God of Mischief waved his hand, challenging Theo.

Seeing such provocation, Theo remained still. Instead of following what he wanted, Theo smirked and provoked him back. "It's you who needs to step out of that throne. You are not my teacher or parents, so I have no reason to obey you anymore."

"It seems that you have learned a lot." The God of Mischief started releasing his Magic Power.

"From you of course." Theo pointed his spear toward him.

*Rumble!*

*Rumble!*

The ground started to shake before a skeleton suddenly appeared behind Theo.

Clone Theo immediately turned around while looking at the skeleton. It looked like the one that Hel usually summoned, but it didn't give the intensity like that skeleton. There wasn't even a killing intent.

Looking at this skeleton, he could see the skill behind it.

Skill: Mind Image (S)

Effect: The power to project the image in one's mind.

The skill's description was simple, but Theo could see how strong the skill was. To project everything in his mind was simply overwhelming. As long as his imagination and illusion skill were at that level, this skill would overwhelm the opponent.

Clone Theo summoned a Death Avatar as the challenger to this skeleton. The Death Avatar raised both hands and pushed the skeleton back, only to find that the skeleton was stronger than he expected.

Instead of getting pushed back, the skeleton actually managed to stop the Death Avatar completely.

However, a huge sword soon appeared above the skeleton, and the latter immediately took the sword to slash the Death Avatar.

Clone Theo also did the same, giving the Death Avatar a weapon. Both the Death Avatar and the skeleton waved their swords a few times as clicking sounds kept echoing inside the hall.

While the Death Avatar kept the skeleton busy, Clone Theo pointed his palm at the skeleton, trying to use his Order to erase this skeleton.

As expected, the result was similar to when he fought against the Poison King. His Reality Order could erase the illusion, but the Illusion Order kept regenerating it, causing both of them to cancel each other's power.

Even so, Clone Theo didn't stop as this was his job for now. While he had some time, he started stomping the ground while manipulating the wind around. He was planning to use the Ascension Step, the Divine Technique that he hadn't used for a long time.

While he was getting ready, the real Theo summoned numerous swords and sent them toward the God of Mischief in order to make him step off the throne.

However, Theo could see the same amount of swords appearing around the God of Mischief along with a new skill

Skill: Illusion Reflection (A)

Effect: The power to reflect illusion back against users.

As expected, the description was simple but very effective.

All the swords hit each other until all swords fell down to the ground. Still, he wasn't lost yet. To win against the God of Mischief, Theo needed to force the God of Mischief to step out of his throne.

Irregular Guardian.

He summoned another spear with this Divine Technique and poured a huge amount of Magic Power into the tip of the spear with his Enhanced Concentration Capacity.

With that huge amount of Magic Power in the tip, there was no way the God of Mischief could take it head-on. He pushed that spear forward, launching it like that of a bullet.

The God of Mischief smirked as numerous shields appeared in rapid succession, lining up between him and the spear, causing the latter to ram its body right at the shields. Even if the spear could destroy the shields, its momentum was decreasing rapidly.

Skill: Hallucination Solidification (A)

Effect: The ability to solidify any illusions or hallucinations.

It was clear that the God of Mischief was trying to replicate what the Fist Saint did back then. By reinforcing the air itself, he could create a solid shield that could block everything. Of course, he could only solidify the illusion, so he created those shields so that he could stop Theo's spear.

Unbeknownst to him, Theo had another surprise for him within this spear.

There was a reason why Irregular Guardian was a Divine Technique. This power allowed Theo to completely shape Magic Power into everything in his mind. Whether it was a shield or a sword, as long as Theo willed it, the shape would change, giving a super versatility.

The spear turned into a thin shawl that could be blown away by the wind, but the tip still held so much Magic Power. Getting hit by this shawl was fatal, but at the same time, the shawl used the shock wave to push it to the side before Theo controlled it to reach the God of Mischief.

Every time the God of Mischief created a shield, the shawl would slip past it like an eel.

Eventually, the shawl reached the God of Mischief, carrying a huge amount of Magic Power.

"This is my first present." Theo smirked as he watched how the shawl suddenly exploded like a grenade.

*Boom!*
