God of Tricksters

Chapter 354 - Enemy? Friend?

"Tsk." Theo clicked his tongue and raised his spear. "Cannon Blast."

He dispersed the Cannon Blast to get enough range to blow all the flame away.

At the same time, a total of ten archers and mages summoned their respective power.

Because of their current race, their affinity had been converted to Darkness, but it didn't mean they became weaker.

All ten attacks flew straight to Theo.

Clone Theo appeared behind Theo and used the Flowmotion to jump toward a few attacks, receiving four arrows at once. As expected, it wasn't easy for the clone to do it because one of the attacks hit him.

The clone was destroyed while Theo needed to repel the remaining attacks.

Suddenly, Ava turned around and raised its foot toward the attacks. Lightning started sparking around her foot since she couldn't release all her power on top of Theo's body. She didn't want to electrocute him after all.

"Kyu!" She shot the lightning and spread it in all directions, trying to catch them, but a black fireball and an arrow slipped past her attacks.

Ava panicked for a second before deciding to leap off Theo's shoulder and hit them herself.

"…" Theo narrowed his eyes and stopped for a split second. Since Ava did it to protect him, Theo quickly turned around and grabbed Ava, who started falling to the ground.

"Got you. Time to…" As he was about to escape, Theo raised his head, finding a huge green-colored flame on top of his head.

The flame dropped on top of him as Theo instinctively used the Telekinesis to push him to the ground, avoiding this flame.

Because of his speed, he managed to gain enough distance from the flame.

Theo used that time to stabilize his posture on the ground and leaped to the left.

The flame touched the ground and exploded, engulfing the area and turning it into a crater.

"Magic Bullets." Theo summoned his clone and summoned a total of 160 Magic Bullets, launching them to the zombie pack.

The Zombie Lich seemed to be observing this attack while the zombies prepared to take down the bullets.

Theo planned to use this chance to escape, but the Zombie Lich let out a hollow roar.

Surprised by it, Theo glanced at it and saw all the zombies chasing after him while those Zombie Archers and Mages had surrounded him from the sky, preventing him from flying.

The Zombie Lich, on the contrary, showed an unexpected skill. He tapped the ground twice before his shadow expanded into a circle with his height as the radius.

Ten tentacles emerged from the hole and reached the Magic Bullets, swaying left and right as if trying to catch every single Magic Bullet.

"…" Theo's expression turned serious as the lich seemed to be planning to kill him in this place.

Surrounded, Theo decided to fight the zombies.

"Ava, we are going to kill them. I will send you the signal, so prepare to fight," said Theo while launching himself to the side, escaping to the deeper part of the Mystic Valley.

He planned to go to the Big Sin Valley to make the zombies clash with the monsters there.

Sensing his intention, the Zombie Lich let out another roar as the Zombie Warriors and Assassins chased him, not letting him escape.

The Assassins' speed was much faster than him, so they caught up to him in no time.

Theo glanced at the ten assassins and spun his body, striking them with his spears.

Half of the assassins managed to protect their body with their daggers, while the other half never had a need to do so since Theo's spear didn't reach him.

Although regrettable, Theo thought it was enough if he could stop a few of them. He could slam the rest to the ground by using his Telekinesis to pressure the air above them.

Bam.

All the assassins dropped to the ground, but they managed to hold on with their body and started charging at him, albeit with a slower speed.

This was only for buying time, so Theo quickly turned around and changed his direction, running away from them to the right side of the valley. After all, the river was fifty feet away from them.

Suddenly, another volley of black flame came from the sky.

"…" Theo clicked his tongue and used his Blink to avoid them.

Bam.

Bam.

Bam.

The black flame burned all the grass while those around it began to wither.

"Ava, get ready. My clone will tell you what to do," said Theo with a calm face as if everything was still within his expectation. In fact, his expression told her that they were going to counterattack.

Ava nodded with a serious expression, not wanting to disappoint Theo. "Kyu."

"Good."

Suddenly, Clone Theo reappeared next to Theo as he grabbed Ava before disappearing.

This surely made the zombies hesitate and search for the two whereabouts, but before they could do anything, Theo changed his direction and jumped to the right as hard as possible, trying to reach the river.

"I'm lucky…" Theo smiled.

Theo saw a reflection of Megalo Fish's golden scales on the water a bit farther away. He quickly used his Magic Bullets and shot the fish.

"Magic Bullet."

All those Magic Bullets hit the water, but the Megalo Fish showed an incredible reflex by leaping into the air with its mouth wide open.

Theo gulped down when he saw those terrifying teeth. Yet, this wasn't enough to make the smile on his face disappear. In fact, the smile became even more intense as everything was going according to his plan.

"That's right. This is early in the morning and the fish should be on its way to Lambert Lake. In that case, this guy will surely appear before me. I need to thank the Zombie Lich for ambushing me immediately since this guy has yet to pass this place.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Now, come. Fight the Zombie Lich for me." Theo smirked even though the fish didn't stop on its way and turned to the Zombie Lich. It continued as if the fish wanted to devour Theo first.
