God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 158 - Rematch Part 1

The next day. The group had a serious expression on their face because they were about to rechallenge the mammoth, the monster they couldn't defeat previously.

Phyrill had disappeared from the camp while the rest packed up their belongings because they were about to move again.

After another two hours, Phyrill returned and said, "I'm sorry for taking too long. I found the mammoth an hour ago, but only now the mammoth returns to the river to drink some water. It's the best time to ambush him."

Theo nodded. "I don't have any change in plan. We will do it like how we worked a few days ago. There was nothing wrong with the plan other than us being too weak anyway."

The group nodded in agreement because they felt a huge leap in their strength after figuring out what they needed to do with their new skill. As expected, Radvils didn't give them something without considering it carefully.

Looking at his teammates' serious expressions once again, Theo opened his mouth. "Let's go. If you have anything that you hide, it's better to use it as early as possible."

"Roger." They replied and Phyrill guided them to the mammoth.

The group didn't take too long to reach the same river they messed up a few days ago. Although most of them had returned to normal, they could still find some cracks where the mammoth stomped the ground.

It might be because he expected them to come; the mammoth quickly raised his head before they even crossed the river.

The water he stored inside his truck was released toward Theo, trying to kill the one who commanded them.

"Blink."

Before Alea protected him, Theo already disappeared, stopping whatever move they planned to use to stop that attack.

His destination was several feet above the air.

He summoned his Magic Bullet and split it into ten. "Magic Bullet."

All ten Magic Bullets flew toward the mammoth head-on, forcing the mammoth to release its shield to block it. Of course, he didn't use the tracking or Force Control this time since he needed to wait for the others to cross the river first before revealing his skill.

At this time, Ellen had finished preparing for her skill and placed her hand on the ground. "Ice Wave."

Just like the previous one, the river was frozen, creating a twenty feet wide bridge.

The mammoth let out a loud cry as it raised its trunk, trying to smash the bridge to prevent them from crossing over. He decided to do it after feeling the power behind Theo's new Magic Bullet.

However, Sihan already arrived right in front of the bridge. He dropped his shield and jumped to the air.

The veins on his body began to bulge as if it was receiving tremendous stress, but Sihan felt the surge of strength he received. This was the strength Sihan needed to be equal to the strength that a Champion Rank like Alea had. This was the power coming from a D Rank Skill that Radvils gave him, Frenzy.

With the additional twenty percent of his strength, he struck the trunk from the side with his glowing blade.

"Dawn Strike."

A huge clicking sound echoed in their ears and the mammoth's trunk stopped for a second as if fighting against the powerful blow Sihan released.

Ultimately, the trunk moved an inch from its current location.

Sihan obviously didn't like the result, but due to that one inch, the trajectory changed drastically as the trunk went diagonally instead of vertically.

Bam.

The trunk hit the ground and splashed the water, but it was six feet away from the bridge due to Sihan's one inch.

Alea, Phyrill, and Laust crossed the river and surrounded the mammoth in three different directions. Theo landed on the ground and made his way to the other side with Ellen while Sihan quickly grabbed his shield to cross the bridge before the mammoth could break it.

As they expected, the mammoth swept the bridge from the ground and destroyed the bridge. Unfortunately for him, Theo and his group had crossed the river.

Theo was the first to make his move as he summoned his Magic Bullet once again and aimed at the mammoth's body.

"Magic Bullet."

The mammoth glanced at his bullets that flew straight to his body and just braced for impact because he knew it wouldn't do much damage. However, right before the ten bullets hit, Theo smiled as the Magic Bullets turned diagonally to the left, heading straight to the mammoth's left eye.

"!!!" The mammoth tried to close his eye to protect it, but the Magic Bullets had reached his eyes and grazed it first.

"Cry!" A loud scream resounded on the river as blood came out of his eyes and the mammoth was forced to close his left eye.

Meanwhile, the others had an amused expression as they found out Theo's real skill.

"Force Control?!"

It was a hard technique that even a third-year student had a hard time gaining, yet, Theo managed to do it in his first year and within a few months. Insane might be an understatement.

Before they knew it, Ellen already positioned herself below the mammoth and tapped the ground with her staff. "I hope you don't forget that Theo's number one mentor for Force Control is me."

"Frosty Misty."

A freezing white mist emerged from the ground as it gradually swallowed the mammoth.

However, Ellen's real intention was to use the freezing temperature from the mist to slow down the mammoth's reaction.

And Alea obviously didn't want to let this chance go.

"Now, let's see whether I have enough qualifications to challenge you." She raised her sword and took a deep breath. A golden-colored aura enveloped her sword. This was her Enchant Blade. And with this skill, she waved her sword down.

"Inch Slash."

The invisible energy flew to the mammoth's body. The white mist Ellen released earlier was surprisingly cut by this energy as if the mist was swallowed into a line in the middle.

It continued moving forward until it hit the mammoth. Although it was hard to see, a straight line from the top of the mammoth's body to its neck appeared before red-colored blood gushed out of the mark.

As if the rest of the energy had caught up with the energy that cut the mammoth, a huge shock wave shook the field and slightly blew the mammoth to the side.

Bam.

The shock wave was followed by a loud bumping sound as if something just crashed and exploded on the mammoth's body.

"Cry!" The mammoth screamed in pain as his body slightly leaned to the side. His right feet also left the ground. i????n????????α????. C????????

Alea couldn't help but smile when she saw her attack go through.
