God of Tricksters

Chapter 476 - Theo Vs Maya Part 4

"…" Theo was amazed when he realized her target turned out to be his clone.

The spear then dropped to the ground.

After that, Maya fired another shot, trying to hit him.

Theo took a deep breath and used his Blink to avoid this powerful bullet. The bullet literally left a trail as it traveled.

So, he used that time to observe the bullet instead of attacking her.

Maya clicked her tongue, knowing Theo didn't get baited. She then rose from the ground and changed her weapon to a handgun.

She started shooting Theo again while hiding between the trees…

"…" Theo knew she was trying to lure him inside the woods and it was extremely dangerous because Maya could leave behind some bombs like earlier.

He thought for a moment and summoned a tiger next to him. This was his clone with Metamorphosis, but Theo hid the transformation process with his Illusion.

"A tiger?" Maya furrowed her eyebrows and watched the tiger running toward her.

She remembered Theo turning into an eagle, so she thought this must be him as well.

Instead of aiming at Theo, she shot the tiger.

To her surprise, the tiger leaped to the left and hid behind the tree. Suddenly, Clone Theo reached the top of the tree using his Flowmotion and leaped between branches to get closer to her.

Bang.

Bang.

Maya used her Targeting Skill to hit Theo, but the real Theo appeared next to him and destroyed the bullets with his spear.

Maya's expression turned grim as she thought, 'Did I make a mistake by using the trees as my cover? Theo now is a shapeshifter. In this case, it's going to be even more difficult to fight him with this terrain. I need to go back to the previous open terrain, but I don't think he will let me. My rifle is there too.'

After considering a few things, she turned around and ran away.

Theo was not pleased with this development either. If Maya tried to run, she could maintain her distance with the guns and bombs.

Theo sighed while his clone returned to the tiger form, running ahead of him to check whether there were any traps or whatsoever.

Maya didn't need to aim at Theo anymore. She simply fired to the back while using her Targeting Skill, making the bullets turn according to Theo's movement.

Tiger Theo increased his speed and leaped from one place to another using his Flowmotion. This skill made his movement so smooth between the trees as if this was his home.

He gradually closed their gap while Theo decided to disappear from Maya's vision before turning into an eagle and flying above the trees.

Maya clicked her tongue and shot Tiger Theo. At the same time, she disappeared for a split second before another explosion occurred next to the tree she crossed.

Boom.

The explosion stopped Tiger Theo for a second while Eagle Theo maintained his course.

"Why are you chasing a woman? I am wondering where is the hero who usually saves the damsel in distress?" She shouted while running away.

Theo didn't say a single thing and just maintained a safe distance.

Suddenly, Eagle Theo noticed a small opening ahead. He climbed a little bit and found a small lake. It wasn't that big, but it should be enough for them to end their battle.

After all, both of them hated fighting in the woods.

Tiger Theo used this information to lead Maya to the lake.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

Several more explosions resounded in the forest as Tiger Theo decided to step up his game by using his Blink to close the gap.

"!!!" Maya halted her step for a second and changed her weapon to a shotgun. She then aimed at Tiger Theo, who was about to pounce her.

"Are you going to push me down?" Maya smiled while pointing her shotgun at Theo's head, saying another joke. "You need to change to your real body first since I'm not too fond of bestiality."

Bang.

She shot him on the head while Tiger Theo used his Telekinesis to launch him to the side.

The bullet hit his side as flesh and blood splattered on the ground.

Maya was startled and realized the one that chased her was the real Theo.

Theo, on the contrary, raised his paw and used his Magic Augmentation.

Before hitting her, he covered his paw with the Cannon Blast and stomped the ground, turning it into a crater.

Because the ground shifted, the trees also didn't have a foothold and crumbled.

Tiger Theo returned to the human's shape and smiled. "This is the end of our fight along with your joke."

"No, you should admit defeat before the wound gets worse," Maya warned him while pointing her shotgun at him.

However, an eagle dove down.

Its talon was covered with a green-colored aura, the same as the one covering the paw earlier.

Maya raised her shotgun to block the eagle, only to regret it right after. Even though he was an eagle, Theo used his Magic Augmentation, Cannon Blast, Telekinesis, External Flow, and Materialization in this attack.

Its power was beyond her imagination.

The moment the talon hit the shotgun, Maya was pushed down to the ground and deepened the crater.

"Gah!" Maya spat blood while using the ground to support her hand to avoid Theo hitting her directly.

Theo's attack didn't stop there. Several Magic Bullets flew past the leaves as Eagle Theo seemed to plan to restrain her and caused mutual destruction.

Realizing Theo's plan, Maya summoned the wings on her back again and generated enough thrust to slip away.

The Magic Bullets ended up hitting Eagle Theo as the latter disappeared.

Unfortunately for her, she fell into another illusion. Right before the bullets hit him, Eagle Theo had already used his Blink to avoid the Magic Bullets and regrouped with Tiger Theo.

After that, the two began to chase after Maya with the same formation, leading her to the open area.

Maya started to become desperate to leave the area and used the energy from her wings to go beyond the trees and found the same lake as Theo.

She hurriedly escaped to the lake and floated on top of the lake, watching out for Theo's sneak attack.

On the other hand, Tiger Theo stopped next to the lake while Eagle Theo landed beside him. The two transformed back to their original forms, staring at Maya.
