God of Tricksters

"Embodiment… Theodore Griffith."

Rea's eyes and temperament changed in an instant as if she was being possessed. Her panicked expression had changed into a calm and collected face as if everything was still under control. Her eyes became sharp as she seemed to gain the ability to see the entire battlefield.

Now that she had become this calm, she didn't feel like talking at all. Instead, everything was resolved within herself.

'I see… So, this is how he sees the world…' Rea looked around. The four King Class Monsters that had surrounded her felt like children who just wanted to play with their parents. It felt like they were so simple to the point all fear and anxiety in her heart disappeared.

As for the battlefield, her field of vision became extremely wide. In fact, her Awareness might have enhanced his senses to the fullest. It drained the energy from her body just to maintain this form.

After all, Theo could grasp everything without even looking at it. She could only produce a portion of his ability with the Embodiment's power, but this alone could show how great the man called Theodore Griffith was.

Her mind suddenly became extremely cool, allowing her to think about everything. It even processed her thoughts quicker.

With just a single glance, she managed to grasp the entire situation of the battlefield, especially the one around her.

'Sir Leonardo is on that side waiting for me. There are Ava and Felix next to him. The fact that he is attacking me…'

As one would expect from the Embodiment of Theodore Griffith, it didn't take one second for her to grasp the reason that was impossible to find earlier.

'He is so reckless. Is he going to sacrifice himself? But the Saints haven't shot anything to our position, so it seems he is trying to create an opportunity. And it won't be the opportunity for the Saints… Instead, the other way around.'

Rea instantly realized that Leonardo's plan was going to involve the Time God, who was on his way here.

Leonardo's way of battle was to lead his people with a conservative tactic. Meanwhile, this kind of tactic where he gambled his life with this high-risk, high-return tactic was Theo's way of battle.

He did this to make Rea realize the situation, albeit she ended up surpassing that expectation with her Embodiment.

'Sorry, Sir War Saint. I'm afraid that I have to step up my game a little bit.' Rea apologized inwardly.

*Roar!*

The King Class Monsters around her noticed the change in her and tried to keep her busy. Their instinct seemed to be telling them that the current Rea was extremely dangerous.

Their plan might work against Rea and stop her. But it wouldn't work against Theodore Griffith.

Rea raised her hand. Suddenly, numerous birds came out of her hands, heading in all directions.

The four King Class Monsters didn't know what she planned to do with it. However, the birds didn't seem to be that powerful. They gathered their energy and covered their body. Meanwhile, they spared some more energy to shoot some of the birds down.

They kept coming forward, trying to reach Rea. However, the moment they reached her position after slipping past all the birds, all they could find was… nothing.

"!!!" The King Class Monsters were dumbfounded before realizing that the birds were only a distraction Rea used to leave this place.

All four King Class Monsters now had to think about what they should do. On the one hand, they could use this opportunity to continue and wreak havoc in the green line. On the other hand, they had to kill Rea first since the Transcendent Level Experts were their main target this time.

The four King Class were smart enough to make the decision. And that decision was to follow Rea.

They had to eliminate their target first before going to those normal soldiers. So, they immediately released their Magic Power, tracking Rea.

They soon realized that Rea was hiding next to the bird that headed to the Shadow King. It turned out she was planning to assist the Shadow King.

However, they were a bit confused since the Shadow King had to fight more King Class Monsters than her. So, there was no reason for her to do it, considering the four monsters would catch up to her in no time, causing more problems for the Shadow King.

But this was when Rea released her brilliance. She gathered the energy in her sword and extended it to at least fifty feet.

She swung this long blade, trying to kill the monsters near the Shadow King.

Obviously, the King Class Monsters wouldn't have missed this surge of Magic Power. They immediately turned around while dodging the blade.

However, the blade disappeared before they reached them. The Shadow King, who hadn't moved at all because she believed Rea wasn't someone who would attack her ally, saw an opportunity. But this opportunity was different because she also saw Rea pointing her hand to the west.

'She wants me to pay back for that attack?' The Shadow King thought before she was startled by the sudden shift in her direction. Instead of pointing at Ava, she rotated her body a bit to the north as if telling her to aim at someone beyond Ava.

They were in the v-shaped formation, so the person she wanted to attack was none other than Felix.

"!!!" The King Class Monsters that surrounded the Shadow King realized they had been tricked. They tried to stop the Shadow King, but it was too late.

The Shadow King clapped her hands as the Magic Power on the ground started to fluctuate.

"Great Shadow Extension."

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

*Bam!*

Numerous spikes suddenly came out of the ground. It continued to extend in Felix's direction and no one would be able to stop it.

"!!!" The King Class Monsters gritted their teeth, trying to attack the Shadow King. However, they would soon become even more confused after seeing Rea's movement.

Instead of fighting her original enemies, Rea actually followed the spikes as if she was planning to switch with the person on that side.

The King Class Monsters or even the people from humanity's side couldn't help but ask themselves.

'What is she doing?'
