God of Tricksters

"What?! That is his clone?" Sheira gasped as she had the same thought as the four people. She never thought Theo was a clone because there was a tracker on the sunglasses to locate his position and there was no instance of Theo giving his sunglasses to his clone.

Remembering Leonardo's words about the limitation of a drone, she thought Theo must be using the same trick to replace his body and the clone, resulting in this situation.

She turned to Leonardo and said, "What do you think about this development, Sir Leonardo? Did you expect Theo to use his clone again?"

"Well, before moving on to that, we should talk about the previous scene." Leonardo smirked.

"The previous scene?" Sheira thought for a moment and asked, "Is it about him badmouthing them?"

"No, no. I can say that badmouthing is only a tiny part of his plan since it clearly indicates one's performance. Well, I do agree that the words are pretty mean, but you will find them on a daily basis. Besides, he's not using any curse words, so I think it's already good enough.

"Then, we should talk about the possibility of him being attacked by four people." Leonardo chuckled, feeling amused by Theo's ability.

"That's right!" Sheira agreed without hesitation. "Although this is a battle royale, all four of them seem to be targeting Theo. I know that he is a new guy and they want to know about his ability, but it's kind of bullying at this point. I guess Theo is justified to say all those things to them."

"Well, I don't care about his words to be honest as long as he is not so excessive. What I want to say about Theo is his strength. To put it frankly, after fighting three people at once and the fact he was only a first-year student from Thersland six months ago…

"You can safely assume his level is around 200. Within those six months, how many levels could he get without any massive support from one influence?

"People will think Theo is barely a Hero Rank Expert, so they're going by the book… Eliminating the weakest first." Leonardo smiled. "And I don't think this is wrong since it's a proven way to defeat the enemy.

"Also, Theo's Magic Power should have been running low at this point, so they want to eliminate Theo and take all his tokens first. I mean, take a look at the other four.

"Leonardo has the Space Affinity that makes him the strongest out of them. Mara is the strongest female swordsman. In terms of swordsmanship alone, I believe she is the number one in her generation. Her brother, Ignazio, has an advantage in numbers as well as Mara's support. Last but not least, Luka. He has a good reputation and overall strength, so fighting him will be much harder than Theo.

"Now that the picture is clear, Theo seems to be the weakest and his trick is hella annoying, so if I were them, I would remove Theo first.

"Unfortunately for them, Theo challenges them in his own field. He has that Master Level Control, his clone, traps, and unpredictability. Defeating Theo is easier said than done at this point… I am curious how they will react to this development." Leonardo finished giving his assessment.

"All of them have their own fighting style. As expected from the top fighters in the War God Family!" Sheira nodded in agreement. "We all are curious about the next development, so let's continue watching the competition."

While they were busy talking about the battle, the battlefield was filled with silence.

"!!!" All of them were shocked when they realized the one they had been fighting this whole time was just a mere clone.

"Kh." Luka, who was blown away earlier, gritted his teeth and stood up, glaring at Theo. "Your mouth is the same as your head. Nasty."

"I will take that as a compliment." Theo shrugged and looked at his enemies.

"And there is no need to talk this much in a battle." Lorenzo suddenly appeared next to Theo and struck him.

Theo stopped his sword with his spear's handle before the real Theo raised his hands, summoning his Magic Bullets.

"!!!" Lorenzo hurriedly took a step back to regain their distance, but Theo sent them into the air as they made a parabolic movement to hit Mara.

Ignazio furrowed his eyebrows and knew the power of his Magic Bullets, so he hurriedly raised his hands. His armored guards stepped forward and went into formation, planning to receive all the bullets.

However, Mara's voice soon echoed in his ears. "No need to get worked up. Let me handle this one…"

Ignazio's body shook as his eyes took a glance at his sister.

She had pulled her sword and prepared to swing it.

A golden light began to cover her sword as it shot to the sky the moment Mara swung her sword. "Unlimited Waves."

She waved her sword multiple times and each stroke produced a crescent-shaped sword wave that soon changed its shape to a single line like Theo's Magic Bullets.

She took the Magic Bullets one by one, not letting even a single one drop to her position.

Without her realizing it, Ignazio had been staring at her with pity. He thought, 'Unlimited Waves… it's a B Rank Skill that allows her to continuously send Magic Power out. Normally, she will fight while standing on the ground, releasing all those attacks with a certain motion.

'Even when blocking, she could still send this attack to hit her enemy. This skill is the reason why she is regarded as the strongest female swordsman. Unfortunately, even with her Telekinesis, she can only use seventy percent of her original power at most…' Ignazio let out a long sigh.

Seeing the Magic Bullets destroyed in the air, Luka and Lorenzo tried to attack Theo.

Theo and his clone moved separately, handling each of them alone, albeit one more unexpected thing happened.

Clink.

Theo's spear and Lorenzo's sword made a clicking sound, but when the other Theo hit Luka's axe, no sound was produced.

In fact, Luka cut through the spear and Theo's body, making it disappear.

"What? It's an illusion?" All of them dropped their jaws to the ground, not expecting that the "real" Theo in their mind turned out to be an illusion.

"No. He should have his clone somewhere around here…"

Suddenly, a sly smile appeared on Theo's face.
