God of Tricksters-Novel

The dragon released another magma ball toward the World Tree while the latter used its branches to catch it.

As expected, the magma melted and burned the branches, but due to the World Tree's Magic Power, the branches withstood the heat for a moment and took that chance to throw it away.

"There is nothing good that will happen if we fight here, Dragon." The World Tree was frustrated, knowing he couldn't escape. "If we continue fighting like this, it's the same as playing in the human's hands. Even if you defeat me, you will still die because he'll appear and kill the injured you."

The World Tree's words touched the essence of Theo's plan. However, the dragon didn't seem to buy it as he was completely unaware of Theo's wickedness.

The dragon kept attacking the World Tree, not caring about Theo anymore. In fact, it would be easier if Theo just came out after the World Tree died. He had enough confidence he would be able to escape from Theo.

The dragon raised his hand, controlling the magma flowing underneath him. He turned the magma into a few balls. Unlike his magma breath, these balls seemed to be alive. They could twist their bodies as if it was a mouth.

"!!!" The World Tree felt something dangerous from this magma ball. He hurriedly used the Golden Leaf ability to shoot these balls down.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

The leaves exploded, splattering the magma balls. But to everyone's surprise, the splattered magma joined each other near it, forming another ball.

"Huh?" The World Tree couldn't believe it. But the dragon seemed to be good at magma manipulation.

Seeing the dragon trying to kill him with these magma balls, the World Tree had prepared his third explosive fruit. He didn't know what would happen after this, but the dragon was simply too fierce.

"If only you were not injured by that human, you would have been more formidable." The dragon smirked.

As he said, the World Tree couldn't exert more than sixty percent of his strength after all the injuries. The same applied to Theo. He was in better shape though, since he could use seventy percent of his power.

Still, the dragon was still going strong, not afraid of any risks that would appear after the World Tree's death.

The World Tree suddenly dropped its third explosive fruit, throwing it to the dragon.

"Hahaha. You are baited. Do you think I don't know about that fruit? I've been preparing this whole time." The dragon suddenly stopped. He confirmed the fruit's trajectory before flying up, avoiding it completely.

With this, the explosive fruit would hit the ground, missing him.

Sadly, the dragon shouldn't have underestimated a desperate enemy.

The fruit might not hit him, but the World Tree's root was still there. Without hesitation, the World Tree extended its root to the air and became the cushion for the explosive fruit.

The fruit would explode upon contact, so the dragon panicked for a moment, glaring at the explosive fruit that hit the World Tree's root.

"No way!" The dragon gasped. Never in his wildest dream would he think the tree would sacrifice one of its roots to injure him.

"NO!" The dragon shouted while enveloping its body with red Magic Power.

*Boom!*

The explosive fruit touched the root and exploded, engulfing anything near it. This was the second time the dragon was hit by the explosive fruit.

*Roar!* The dragon let out a scream. It was painful. Even his body felt like it was being burned alive, let alone the impact of the explosion.

The power packed in that explosion hit the dragon and launched him into the sky. Some of his scales shattered into pieces and some were damaged as well. Smoke was coming out of his body as if the dragon had just been burned alive.

But the dragon was tough. Even after the explosive fruit, the dragon managed to escape. He was injured on the right arm, which took the full brunt of the explosion. The other arm was also charred black.

On the other hand, the dragon could see the World Tree suffering as well. The three only had two more roots, half of its leaves, and sixty percent of its branches. If he wanted to defeat the World Tree, he had to be careful against the last explosive fruit.

After all, his body would be severely injured if he took another hit from this explosive fruit.

The dragon gritted his teeth. His scales are starting to fall apart naturally as if they had absorbed too much force.

"Tsk." The dragon glared at the World Tree. Although the dragon had extraordinary control and raw strength, he couldn't fully utilize his strength due to his brain.

This might be his only weakness. The same applied to the World Tree, with its only weakness being its mobility.

No matter how strong they were, no one was perfect. They all had weaknesses.

Theo had been utilizing their weakness to pit them against each other. And it was time for him to kill them.

"!!!" The dragon and the World Tree sensed Theo's presence and turned to the sky, finding Theo standing in the air.

"As expected, you scheming human. You have been watching us this whole time." The World Tree was frustrated, fully knowing everything was within Theo's plan.

On the other hand, the dragon believed he was tricked by Theo. He never expected Theo to appear here.

His eyes were staring at them as if they were just prey that he could easily hunt.

The dragon's defense had been half-destroyed, while the tree only had one explosive fruit and two roots left. Even if they combined their strength, they might not be able to defeat Theo.

"Kh." The dragon gritted his teeth. Despite knowing it was his fault, his pride didn't allow him to admit it.

Meanwhile, the World Tree didn't know whether he should fight together with the dragon or not because of the dragon's behavior.

Surprisingly, the dragon was the one giving the suggestion this time.This chapter is updated by novelenglish.net . Fɪre.net - novelenglish.net . bin

"Oi, Tree. If we continue doing this, we will die. It's better if we join hands and fight him."
