God of Tricksters

"You bastard. All you do is running." Winston gritted his teeth while trying to find a way to stop Theo.

On the contrary, Theo kept maintaining his distance from Winston. With the sword in his right hand, he planned to get some chances for a counterattack.

The moment Winston leaped forward, Theo slashed his sword diagonally, shooting a light beam.

The beam split into five and looped around his body, hitting Winston from the back. Unfortunately, the lights shattered when they collided with the Distortion Barrier.

"It's useless!" Winston shouted and focused on Theo. However, more light beams flew toward him in succession. Each of them split into five and hit a different part of the barrier.

Theo wanted to see whether the barrier had more weaknesses or not. If the barrier only appeared where Winston wanted it, he would need to pour Magic Power into it to create a complete sphere. Hence, it would drain his Magic Power faster.

These tens of sword lights flew around Winston and continued hitting him.

Winston stopped in his tracks because there might be another attack from underground. Hence, it wouldn't be wise to move toward Theo in the current situation.

The moment he could use his teleportation again, Winston disappeared, leaving all those sword lights behind.

Theo covered his sword with Magic Augmentation and Magic Power Expansion before turning around with his sword cutting the air.

Suddenly, Winston reappeared behind Theo and summoned his Distortion Barrier again.

The clash between spatial distortion and Theo's sword created a massive shock wave due to the explosion of the Magic Power Expansion and Magic Augmentation.

Still, the Distortion Barrier managed to neutralize the impact coming from those two skills and contained Theo's blue sword.

'Hmm... Sucking force?' Theo narrowed his eyes, feeling his sword getting absorbed inside. Since it would be bad if he lost this sword, Theo leaped away to regain some distance while thinking, 'He can't destroy my sword. No, should I say his spatial distortion is not enough to destroy my sword?

'I clearly saw him shattering the rock, so it's possible to break a mere sword. In that case, the power from the spatial distortion is not enough to destroy a Rank A Artifact. That's good news. I wonder at what level can his spatial distortion break?'

Theo had some plans in his mind. But when he was about to execute the first one, Winston stopped him with numerous items.

A pink circle appeared thirty feet above Theo's head, creating a black-colored hole. Numerous items, from weapons to miscellaneous items like chains, soon came out, raining him down.

Skill: Space Storage (B)

Effect: A special space that can store any dead objects. The limit is 100,000 cubic feet.

'For real? What kind of storage is this?' Theo narrowed his eyes and leaped backward to avoid these items. 'It is so large that I believe a house will come down later.'

Seeing Theo running away again, Winston didn't plan to give Theo some time to think about his next action.

He immediately summoned multiple holes and rained Theo with many things, including boulders.

Theo took a deep breath and looked forward. It might be hard for him to avoid all these, but it would be a different case if his attacks were the ones to fly.

After figuring out the gap between the items, Theo waved his sword a few times, sending his sword lights forth.

The sword lights bent a few times as Theo controlled it with his Magic Power.

"What?!" Winston widened his eyes in shock, finding all the lights dodging the items casually.

Those sword lights even slipped past through the last item and made their way toward Winston.

It was at this time Winston used his fifth skill.

The circles above Theo's head disappeared but were soon replaced by another circle in front of Winston. At the same time, a few more portals appeared next to Theo.

The moment the sword lights entered the portals, they re-emerged from the portals next to Theo.

"…" Theo clicked his tongue and leaped away. Luckily, he could read the description of his skill or else it would be dangerous.

Skill: Connection Portal (B)

Effect: Creating an entrance to teleport everything inside to the exit.

'What's wrong with these half-baked explanations…' Theo muttered, completely unfazed by all these skills. Of course, even he had some difficulties dealing with Winston's space element. But it didn't stop him from enjoying the fight.

This was a big opportunity to learn more about the space element after all.

Since the exit portals were close to him, he sent a few sword lights inside so that they could travel through the gate.

Unfortunately for him, the portals crumbled right after the sword lights entered as if telling him they were a one-way portal.

'This is quite annoying.' Theo took a deep breath and raised his left hand. Suddenly, a monkey, half Theo's height, appeared next to him.

"What? You are a summoner?" Winston was startled by this revelation. No one had ever suspected the man called Joker to be a summoner, especially after everything he had shown this whole time.

Theo didn't bother to reply to him. Instead, he extended his blade and forced the monkey to stand on top of his sword.

"Kiki!" The monkey smiled and followed his instruction.

"Go!" Theo then used all his strength to launch the monkey.

The swing even created a small shock wave as the monkey looked like he disappeared for a split second.

"Kiki…" The monkey smiled and covered his right fist with Magic Power, striking Winston.

The latter used his Space Bending Fist and punched the monkey's fist, not scared by the monkey's momentum and strength.

"Boom!"

Their clash lasted for a second before the Space Bending Fist deflected the monkey to the side. However, it only neutralized the Magic Power in his fist, not hurting the monkey.

With this sight alone, it was enough for Theo to know that unless the Space Bending Fist directly hit them, it shouldn't be that powerful.

"Kii…" The monkey landed on the ground and leaped back to Winston.

"It's useless!" Winston used the Space Bending Fist and planned to destroy the monkey again.

Unexpectedly, a sword suddenly flew between the monkey and him.

"!!!" Winston widened his eyes in shock. "A sword…"

With a big smile on his face, the monkey grabbed the sword and waved it forward, changing from his fist to a sword to attack him.
