God of Tricksters

"Die!"

*Bam!*

The moment their weapons clashed, the overwhelming force from above immediately crushed the ground, turning it into a huge crater.

"Kh." The spear guy experienced the extraordinary force while gritting his teeth. This was too much even for him.

"Haaaaa!" Ergene kept shouting, raising her spirit as well as pumping up her heart to give more strength.

The guy kept enduring all this lightning while dispersing some of it to the ground, weakening this attack.

If Ergene couldn't kill him right now, the attack would fail.

"No. You have to die!" Ergene pushed with all her might. She was desperate because this attack contained half of her Magic Power. If not for this all-out attack, the guy wouldn't be suppressed like this.

But the lightning kept getting weaker and weaker as time passed. It looked like she couldn't kill him with this attack. But Ergene still had one more surprise for him.

*Boom!*

The lightning suddenly sparked, causing a huge explosion that engulfed the entire crater. Everything inside would be burned to a crisp with this amount of lightning.

'The third way... hide an unexpected attack within that all-out attack.' Ergene smiled, hoping that this one took him by surprise. She actually used Theo's tactic when Theo was recruiting her.

In that terrorist attack, Theo positioned the enemies according to his way so that his arrow could pierce them. Just like him, she used that all-out attack to position her enemy inside a crater where she could use the explosion to finish him off.

Unfortunately, her strategy might be good, but the execution was still lacking. Theo's arrow was an extremely powerful arrow that guaranteed his enemy's death. But her arrow was still a bit too weak to kill her enemy.

"Hahahahaha! That hurts, you bitch." Her enemy's voice suddenly echoed in her ears. The dust had settled down, revealing the spear guy in the middle of the crater.

A part of his body was burned and he had severe wounds, but he seemed to be able to endure his condition and still managed to act like it was nothing.

"I've decided. You're going to be my woman from now on." The guy smirked as he leaped as if the wounds didn't hinder him the slightest.

"!!!" Ergene was dumbstruck. Even that kind of injury couldn't affect him. 'No, he's not like Theo, who can endure all the pain. He just loves the pain because he's insane.'

Ergene gritted her teeth because the enemy seemed to not hold back anymore.

When they were about to clash, Ergene suddenly leaped back.

"Huh? Escaping?!" The guy was startled because he didn't expect that Ergene would be escaping at this point in time.

But as soon as he caught up to her and thrust his spear, Ergene opened her mouth, calling someone's name out loud. "Ryo!"

*Clang!*

The moment he thrust that spear, he felt he struck an indestructible metal that completely stopped his momentum as well as the power in his spear.

"Huh? A barrier?" The guy was surprised and saw Ergene fall to her knees not for forgiveness but for the next attack. "Shit!"

'The fourth way, if you can't beat him, get some help. You must haven't realized that I took that attack head-on intentionally because I wanted to get closer to Ryo without you noticing.' Ergene took a deep breath as she watched the barrier closely.

The moment Ryo retracted the barrier, she swung her sword.

"Shit!" The guy cursed while jumping back to avoid this attack, but he was too late. Although Ergene didn't manage to completely cut his right leg, the slash still cut the bone, making the leg useless.

And due to his sudden jump, he lost his balance and fell to the ground.

In this instant, Ergene stepped forward and slashed her sword downwards. "Die!"

A smile suddenly appeared on the guy's face as he actually managed to bait Ergene into this position.

"Using an all-out attack right after retreating, right?" The guy smirked as the spear released a huge amount of Magic Power.

"!!!" Ergene realized that he was using her strategy to attack her.

The two weapons clashed, but the lightning was dispersed by the huge amount of Magic Power. In fact, she didn't have enough strength left to produce lightning that could be capable of rivaling this guy's Magic Power anymore.

"Haaaa!" She let out a loud cry, desperately pushing him to the ground. But her enemy was simply too strong this time.

"You became a Mythical Rank Expert not long ago and your abilities are sloppy. If not for you stubbornly resisting me, I would have won. But I guess you are good enough to reduce my leg to that state." He smiled while using all his strength to blast the sword into the air.

"Heh? I got you." The guy smirked as he raised his spear to defeat her. This was the time he thought he would win. "Now, there's only one more thing I need to do."

He thrust his spear forward, trying to stab Ergene's stomach. It seemed that he was adamant about making sure Ergene didn't die so that he could take her as his woman, but it would become his last mistake.

"As I said, your aim is obvious." Ergene placed her palm in front of her stomach and let the guy pierce it.

"What?" The guy was shocked that Ergene sacrificed her palm. But in that instant, Ergene coated her hand with Magic Power to strengthen her hand while enduring the pain.

With this, she managed to grasp his spear.

"No, my spear!" The guy tightened his grip to make sure Ergene didn't get to take this spear from his hand.

But this action resulted in his sturdy foundation shaking. Ergene took that opportunity to twist the spear, moving it to the side.

After that, she spun her body and kicked the guy in the head, blowing him into the air.

"Gah!" The guy spat a mouthful of blood and his nose was bleeding because the kick contained her lightning that sparked all the way to his back. Due to the shock and the numbing sensation the lightning gave, he let go of his spear.

Ergene grasped that spear and threw it away while approaching the guy. Her lower arms joined together with both palms facing the same direction.

"Her hands?" The guy gritted his teeth, trying to avoid the next attack. He didn't expect that Ergene would keep fighting even after losing her sword. And that thought was the biggest mistake in his life.

Ergene thrust those two palms straight to the guy's heart.

"If there's an enemy in front of you, you should aim for the heart." Ergene snorted as the palm struck the guy's chest and the lightning sparked, creating a hole through his heart. This wound was telling him not to create a hole in her stomach since she would still be alive and aim for her heart instead.

But more importantly, she stated with a conviction, answering his last doubt as she watched him fall. "As you said earlier, I only have my stubbornness. That is because a general won't stop fighting until they're dead. If you don't have that vulgar thought, you would have won."

The Fifth Way! Keep trying until you make it!
