God of Tricksters

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

A series of explosions occurred. More and more monsters joined hands to attack one person who had caused all this.

It was Theo.

After defeating the flying frog king, he was besieged by the monsters because the flying frog king was similar to their ruler. It was normal for them to avenge their leader.

The escape was supposed to be easy, but he had one major problem. He couldn't use his Blink because the corpse of this General Class monster would be left behind.

He needed to touch the corpse if he wanted to bring it with him. However, the moment he touched the corpse, it would turn into cards.

Having no other choice, Theo kept using his Telekinesis around to shake them off.

Still, their number truly made it hard for him to escape.

"Annoying." Theo clicked his tongue while glancing at the monsters on his back. Some monsters had also sped up and approached him from the sides.

Theo summoned his clone. Instead of fighting back, he created another corpse of the flying frog king to fool them.

After that, they went separate ways, splitting the monsters into two. He did it again and again until the number of monsters was enough for his clone to handle.

Still, the process took an hour to complete, exhausting Theo, who had just fought against the flying frog king.

Instead of taking a good rest after escaping from the monsters' chase, Theo immediately headed straight to the camp.

…

"Has he come back?"

"It's been a few hours since he's gone to confront the flying frog king."

The employees were talking about Theo as they had received the report from their colleague. They were shocked at first when they heard about Theo's power. But their opinion soon changed.

An S Rank Talent of their Star Group was expected to have that kind of prowess, or else other influences would look down on them.

Their worries soon disappeared when Theo suddenly entered the tent.

"!!!" Their eyes locked on Theo immediately as they instinctively straightened their back.

"Where should I put the corpse?" asked Theo while looking around, finding no place where they stacked the corpses. He had contributed a few flying frogs, so their corpses should be lying somewhere.

Since he couldn't find anything, the storage must be elsewhere.

"You can place it right there. We will take care of it." The guy smiled and explained. "Flying Frog King is precious because all their organs have a stronger efficacy. And this one is not only a Flying Frog King, but a General Class Monster.

"To be honest, this frog alone is already worth more than a hundred million Star Points." He explained.

"So, my mission here is done?" Theo asked.

"Yes."

Theo thought for a moment. On the one hand, it was a good thing to finish his job early. On the other hand, he shouldn't return now since Bernard hadn't solved the problem yet. There would be a chance of him being targeted.

After some consideration, Theo asked, "Now that I've finished my mission, is there a problem if I continue hunting the flying frogs?"

"There shouldn't be any problem. Although it's a good thing to leave some monsters for the others, no one can prevent you from hunting them." He explained. "I think I also know the reason why you want to continue killing the flying frogs.

"Unlike other monsters in this area, the flying frogs have a special value, so it's the best way to gather the Star Points."

"Yeah." Theo nodded with a calm expression while adding inwardly, 'Saying that is not wrong, but, I simply want to stay here until Bernard settles everything on the other side.'

"Well, you can do whatever you like. It's just… Sometimes, people like to mess with your reputation if they see you like this. For now, no one knows that you have finished your missions, so it won't be happening soon. But…" He paused while scratching the back of his head.

"Reputation, huh. I don't really care about them messing up my reputation." Theo shrugged, thinking it would just be another way to promote himself.

"I understand."

"So, I'll leave this to you." Theo put down the corpse on the ground. "How should I prove that I have completed my mission?"

"We just need your badge. We can easily access your information from that badge since it's custom-made. We'll simply put the record there."

"But I still want to hunt more flying frogs?"

"That's fine too. We can update it from time to time until you're done. We usually stay for another few days after you all finish hunting the monsters… So, you can go to us from time to time."

"I see." Theo nodded. "What's the use of this camp anyway? This is my first time going on a mission, so I'm not very sure."

"The Star Group makes this camp for three purposes. Firstly, it's a kind of station where all agents can gather if something happens. Secondly, you're free to use the facility here to take some rest. There are beds, supplies, and stuff… We don't have anything fancy, but it's enough for survival. Last but not least, a small reinforcement like a rescue mission you had earlier."

"Oh." Theo nodded in understanding. The reason was pretty reasonable. "I'm going to take a rest here for a while."

"Understood. You can use the supply there." He nodded and pointed at the beds and other stuff on the edge of the camp.

Since he had finished his job, Theo planned to hunt more monsters for another few weeks.

This hunt would give him more levels to catch up with Mark. With that kind of power, he should have no problem overpowering Mark next time.

At the very least, he wanted to reach level 550 from this hunt. And due to him hunting alone now, he could only reach his target after hunting for 45 days. It was quite long, but at least, it was worth it because he could easily gain almost a billion from this hunt alone.

As soon as he reached level 550, he gained the proof for completing the mission and finally returned to the other side.
