God of Tricksters

Theo floated in the air, taking a look at the situation on the ground. They had reached the center of Kentucky and planned to set up the military base near the former Elizabethtown.

It was a small plot of land, but they shouldn't have any problems building a base here after Theo scouted the area.

"How is it?" Rea's voice rang from the Skylink.

"Yes. This place is good. I can see that not many monsters are left on the ground. How is the underground?"

"Eleanor is still checking, but there shouldn't be too many threats left. Many evolved ants have been crushed by the overburden pressure, so they failed to evolve and grow in size. There are other dangers, but the military should be able to handle them."

"I see." Theo thought for a moment. "There are three spots where the humans gather. For now, just mark them. We'll eliminate this area first and have the military set up their camp here before rescuing them. Also, we're going to focus on the monsters."

"Understood. Do you want to start?"

"Sure. How are the other teams?" Theo asked while seeing Isaac's team on the ground, setting a temporary pivot point for their group. With Akbar protecting them, they should be safe until rescue comes in case something happens.

"Felix's Team has been in position. Ruth's team needs two more minutes to reach her position. That's left us."

"Got it. I'm going to take you to our destination."

"I guess we can fight together again like when you first trained me."

"We're here not for training, but I guess I don't mind training you a bit." Theo smiled while landing on the ground, regrouping with Rea.

"I'm ready." Rea smiled while taking out her sword.

Theo nodded and lifted their bodies with Telekinesis, flying toward their positions.

Since they were the last ones to arrive, Rea immediately gave the command on behalf of Theo. "Please begin. Keep us up to date every thirty minutes."

"Roger." Felix and Ruth answered in unison.

Felix turned to Jeff and Chris and nodded his head. "Let's go."

"Got it." Chris acknowledged the order and summoned his piano, playing it as loud as possible. Felix and Chris had prepared noise-canceling headphones so they weren't disturbed by the sound.

On the other hand, monsters from half a mile radius started to get alarmed by this disruption, causing them to go berserk.

*Roar!*

*Roar!*

The monsters started moving toward Felix's group, enraged. Since they were surrounded from all directions, Jeff immediately created a dense forest that would buy some time from the monsters.

He placed this forest in their south and west, allowing Felix to focus on the other directions.

"You've got thirty minutes, Felix," said Jeff.

"Got it." Felix nodded and leaped to the front, facing numerous monsters that came after them.

With a single slash of his blade, three white lines ran through the ground and summoned a giant blade upon making contact with monsters, slicing them.

The white lines didn't stop there. Unless Felix lost his control, the white lines would continue, allowing these lines to kill a hundred monsters in just a minute.

Meanwhile, numerous monsters were crossing the forest Jeff created.

They leaped from one spot to another, avoiding all these trees. However, the first obstacle appeared before them.

Numerous vines appeared from the ground and caught their feet, pulling them to the top of the tree and leaving them hanging.

Suddenly, the trees began to form thorns-like branches and penetrated their bodies.

*Roar!*

*Ao!*

They were screaming in pain because the thorns didn't directly kill them.

Jeff didn't stop here. The second obstacle came in the form of huge tree trunks attached to another tree by vines. They smashed the monsters from the sides, stopping their movements for a moment.

Some monsters tried to dodge, but their bodies ended up crashing into a tree due to how dense the forest was. After that, the trees would create another thorn and stab them.

Little did the monsters know, they were also fooled by Jeff by stacking trunks next to each other, causing the monsters to loop around to go to Jeff.

But there was a trick behind the wooden wall. Jeff was gradually creating a maze in this dense forest with no way leading to him. And the trapped monsters would die one after another by his trap.

Jeff might have been farming this whole time, but he actually came up with this labyrinth from the irrigation system.

He built the irrigation system and saw how the water reacted. From it, he learned how to create a complex irrigation system, allowing him to apply it to a labyrinth like this.

This way, the monsters would slowly die inside this forest made of illusion.

Jeff smiled while looking at the dense forest. "Come here and die."

Felix knew what Jeff was capable of and left Chris to him. Since he could go all out, Felix's body gradually turned into light, allowing him to travel far faster than his original speed.

With the help of the white lines that kept going, Felix turned into an unstoppable killing machine that obliterated a monster with a single hit before leaping to another monster.

Looking at these two, Chris smiled while playing the music. They had been fighting together for years, so he understood what they wanted on the battlefield.

After listening to the monsters' voices, Jeff began to play another song. This song was disturbing for the monsters, allowing these two to bury more monsters in the area.

"It seems that our group will be the winner in this little competition." Chris smirked. "Kill more!"

Unbeknownst to Chris, there was an unbelievable sight in Ruth's group.

Ruth was standing on top of a tower. In front of her was a ground that had been chipped away in a fan-shaped direction. The ground was red as the blood had turned it into mud.

In this place, a total of five hundred monsters had been buried.
