God of Tricksters

"Nice one."

"Right." Theo smiled and said, "Though, something feels missing."

"What do you mean?"

"Remember what I said earlier? Each piece should contain something special."

"Hmm? It's not about their tricks and stuff?"

"Yeah." Theo thought for a moment, albeit couldn't find anything useful.

Lorenzo also helped him think and came up with a ridiculous idea in mind. "What's about his power? I mean his Five Aspects. Grandfather is a master of Control, Awareness, Breathing, and Technique.

"What if the pawns received his Awareness, specifically his vision, to make them easier to move? The rooks receive his Sense of Touch to be that sturdy. The knights have the Breathing that makes them the fastest.

"Then, the bishop must have his Control because they may be able to use something special. As for the queen, it must be his Technique. Last but not least, the king. Since it's the spitting image of grandpa, I'm assuming that one receives everything."

Theo couldn't help but agree and denied one of his points. "I think the pawns don't have anything special, so the rooks receive all his Awareness."

"Ah, that can also be the situation." Lorenzo nodded in agreement. "That is more likely to happen to be honest."

"Yeah." Theo recalled one thing. "Well, enough for this Divine Technique for now. I am more curious about that slash where he cut the stones and the Goblin Shaman into pieces."

"That one? I have no freaking idea." Lorenzo shook his head in disappointment. "I thought about it as a skill, but I don't think there's a skill like that. Is it an Original Technique?"

"Probably." Theo nodded in agreement. The only reason he supported that argument was due to the fact he didn't see anything from that slash.

Normally, he would see something when someone used their skill, but there wasn't a single notification from his grandfather that day.

Hence, Theo concluded that the slash, the King Sword, or even the chessboard were Original Techniques.

"I guess we can't get anything from him this time." Theo sighed.

"Not necessarily so." Lorenzo shook his head. "Although I concluded it's an Original Technique, I feel like it isn't. In fact, there may be some tricks in that slash."

"What do you mean?" Theo tilted his head in confusion.

"You are better at Control than me, so do you mind helping me prove my theory?" Lorenzo asked.

"Hoh? Theo narrowed his eyes before agreeing. "What should I do?"

"You can disperse the Magic Power freely, right?"

"Yes."

"Then, what if you disperse your power in two or three directions and let it hit three objects at the same time? Then, after that, the Magic Power disperses again. Because grandfather is using a sword, the sharp Magic Power will eventually cut the enemies.

"On the other hand, you are using a spear, so you will most likely push or stab the objects," Lorenzo explained his theory.

"That is an interesting theory." Theo smirked and said, "In fact, it gives me an idea."

"Is it?"

"Yeah. Do you want to try it?"

"Sure. I will be your sandbag. Just give me the feedback later."

"Okay." Theo nodded as they both rose in unison.

Lorenzo stood thirty feet in front of Theo while the latter summoned his clone.

Their actions piqued both Felice and Ava's interest as they stopped what they were doing and watched what the two planned to do.

"For now, I am going to do it without hitting you, so you should watch how they move. After that, you should try receiving them to see their effectiveness." Theo shouted.

"Okay." Lorenzo nodded and took a few steps back to capture the scene clearer.

"Ready?"

Lorenzo raised his hand and gave a thumbs up.

After that, Theo and his clone summoned the Magic Bullets.

There were only four Magic Bullets that could be split into ten or combined into two for the time being. And these were the usual Magic Bullets.

Theo didn't bother to do anything to his Magic Bullets and shot them.

The four Magic Bullets flew forward.

After ten feet, each Magic Bullets suddenly split into ten and continued.

"What?!" Lorenzo dropped his jaw to the ground as he analyzed what happened. He thought, 'From four to forty immediately? He didn't split the Magic Bullets after summoning them. Instead, he let them travel first before breaking them.

'For someone that receives this attack for the first time, they will be shocked beyond belief. In fact, I think I have seen this somewhere'¦' Lorenzo thought for a moment. 'If I'm not wrong, the holder of Artemis' blessing can make an arrow split in the middle of its trajectory'¦ Is this the principle behind it?'

Before he finished his thought, Theo poured more Magic Power to make all his Magic Bullets self-destruct.

Boom.

The Magic Bullets exploded in unison, creating a shock wave that woke Lorenzo from his thoughts.

"Ah. Seriously?" Lorenzo shook his head helplessly. "That one is insane."

"I am going to send you another one. Try to receive them," Theo shouted, asking him to get ready.

Lorenzo hurriedly raised both hands, preparing to use his shield to block the Magic Bullets. "I'm ready!"

"Good." Theo released all four Magic Bullets again.

This time, the Magic Bullets curved a few times until eventually, they surrounded Lorenzo in four directions.

At that instant, each bullet split into ten, completely eliminating all escape routes except for the sky.

"Oh no. I'm not going to deal with this." Lorenzo clicked his tongue and used Teleportation to send him away from that killing zone, letting all the Magic Bullets destroy each other.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

They all exploded in succession as Lorenzo reappeared in front of Theo, wiping the sweat on his forehead.

"You were joking with me, right?" Lorenzo sighed. "You surrounded me and completely blocked my escape route. If you added your Blink and other techniques to this one, it would be hard to deal with it."

Theo gently rubbed his cheek as he said, "To be honest, I can't move because it takes all my concentration from me. By the time I mastered this technique and used it perfectly, I would have reached Grandmaster Level Control'¦ just one step away from Perfect Control."

"That's insane."

"Still, I got a new idea. Thank you, Lorenzo."

"Nah, I am also benefited from this.." Lorenzo smirked.
