God of Tricksters

"Kh!" Rea gritted her teeth and hurriedly stood up since he had to keep these two here for as long as possible. She wouldn't have any problem fighting one Mythical Rank Expert, but two were still too much even for her.

Earlier, she could stop them by surprise, but she had some distance to exploit. This time, if she didn't keep them close, they would turn around and attack her brother.

Hence, the only way to stop them here was to maintain a close distance and keep attacking them even if she ended up getting injured in the process.

"Well, Theo's training is far more painful than this injury. So, there's no need to hesitate." Rea smirked and raised her sword again. She couldn't make any excuse since it would make her look weak.

If she wanted, she could simply say she couldn't fight them at full power since she had to maintain the barrier. But after Theo trained her, she never blamed the lack of her talent anymore. Instead, she used it to discover the other talent hidden in her.

That was why she taunted both Mythical Rank Experts. "Then, let me see how strong the Griffith Family is… I wonder if their old experts can even defeat a young girl like me."

The two weren't provoked by her words but still leaped toward her. They still had one job to do: Capture her. As long as they completed their jobs, the situation would be turned around, and this was their only chance.

They raised their own fists and punched Rea.

Rea stomped the ground and summoned the barrier to stop their attacks.

"!!!" The two experts hurriedly stopped their punches and saw Rea preparing to draw her sword. After seeing it for the second time, both of them had already known what to do in this situation.

They had the same thought and immediately jumped into the air, looping around her from above.

However, Rea had yet to draw her sword. Only when they landed did she draw her sword.

"Sword Draw…"

"!!!" One of them immediately leaped away to regain some distance to avoid the sword, while the other covered its foot with Magic Power, making it as hard as diamond.

He then kicked Rea's sword to stop her, allowing the other to attack her from another side.

There was even a smirk on the guy's face as if he managed to disrupt her plan, resulting in her getting punched by his comrade.

However, Rea's original intention was never to cut them.

When the other guy took the opportunity to attack her from the side, the snake suddenly appeared from above and tried to devour him.

"!!!" The guy raised his head and immediately stopped his momentum, barely avoiding the snake.

Meanwhile, the one who stopped Rea's sword suddenly noticed someone's presence. The guy even muttered in a low voice, "Sword Draw…"

"!!!" He immediately leaped back while spinning his body, kicking the blade that was coming for his life.

"Severing."

"Eh?!" The expert widened his eyes in shock. The swing was too fast for his body to react as he watched a sword cutting his leg. In fact, if not for his leg trying to attack the guy, his body would be the one to be split by the sword.

This was the same sword draw that almost cut Theo down in the sparring. Now that Nagasawa Sojuro had become stronger, his drawing speed was like a bullet. Even a Mythical Rank Expert had trouble keeping up with this speed.

'So, this is Nagasawa Rea's brother… This is the successor of the third strongest person in the world… This is the man called Nagasawa Sojuro." The expert from the Griffith Family gritted his teeth to endure the pain as he leaped back with his left foot. The situation was truly unfavorable for the Griffith Family.

But there was one complaint the people on the rooftop had.

'Where is the reinforcement from the ground? Have they escaped alone?'

That question appeared in their heads since the only one who could make a chance was the six Mythical Rank Experts on the ground.

They simply couldn't believe that one guy could stop six Mythical Rank Experts from the family, especially since that guy wasn't Felix or Ruth.

They would be shocked to know that one of them had actually died under Akbar's traps. And he was stopping the remaining five people by utilizing their own power.

But it didn't seem everything was according to their plan. There was one flaw to this entire situation. It was the interference of the third party.

Suddenly, Rea stopped when she felt extraordinary pressure coming from the side. Just like her, Akbar could sense the energy. And due to his position, he could clearly see who it was.

She had long brown hair tied into a horse tail. Her glasses mellowed her gaze a bit, but everyone could feel the coldness coming out of her eyes.

"How in the world are you here?" Akbar gritted his teeth as sweat started covering his forehead. They were truly in a dire situation.

Without answering him, the woman raised her left palm. Suddenly, a golden item appeared in her hand.

It had a small platform with dragons coming out of the platform as if they were showing their ferociousness. But the golden color made them look like they were majestic and mystical.

The woman opened her mouth, muttering in a low voice.

"The Mandate of Heaven."

Following the golden mandate, a golden scroll appeared in front of her. The scroll opened up and showed one word.

"Receive the Imperial Decree. Disappear!"

That was right, the one word on the scroll was the word 'Disappear.'

As if accepting the decree, the barrier suddenly cracked from the very top. The crack instantly spread all over the barrier and eventually made the barrier shatter into pieces.

"Shit." Akbar gritted his teeth. "That's the Mandate of Heaven, the proof of a ruler. And she is the successor of the Great Empress Wu Zetian, Zhao Jia."
