God of Tricksters-Novel

Chapter 188 - Show Off

The two continue on their path, killing monsters after monsters.

After killing the around fifty monsters, they stumbled upon a giant room in the corner of the floor.

According to the map, this facility had a hundred by a hundred feet room in each corner other than the control room, making it spacious enough to hold at least thirty monsters inside.

This was the first time Theo and his group faced all those monsters in an enclosed space like this.

The monsters noticed Theo's presence due to the noises earlier but didn't have the intention to move the whole time.

Theo soon found the reason why the monsters that were supposed to move to follow the ruckus they made actually stayed here. It was a five-foot tall white tiger with purple bat wings on its body.

It was a Champion Rank Monster, but he could see it was different from the rest. It reminded him of one monster.

"Hmm… The same as Hardrock Mammoth… Rare Class Monster?" Theo narrowed his eyes.

The monsters seemed to have turned this room into their nest.

Noticing their presence, the white tiger rose from the ground, staring at them while spreading its killing intent.

Alea and Sihan quickly moved forward, trying to gather their attention first.

Meanwhile, Theo summoned his clone and summoned twenty Magic Bullets together with his clone, focusing on those monsters in the front.

It hit several monsters and wounded them, but none of them died yet. Hence, Ellen placed her hand on the ground and summoned Ice Crystals in a fan-shaped area.

"Ice Wave."

Alea and Sihan made way for it to go through while they got separated like they planned to. In other words, Alea would take care of the left side while Sihan took the other side with this one ice line as the border.

Laust pulled his sword as his sword glowed brightly. Seeing that the monsters began to move, Laust waited for a bit to send his attack.

Unlike him, Phyrill wasn't that patient. When he saw the ice border, lightning sparked around his body before covering all parts of his body. He then jumped on top of the Ice and hopped from one tip to another without ruining his boot or getting pierced by the sharp-pointed ice tips.

Phyrill used his Lightning Step to reach the enemies even before Sihan and Alea clashed with the monsters.

"Haha… I'm going in for the kill." Phyrill laughed and moved forward until he reached the white tiger that had yet to move from its position.

Not liking Phyrill coming over to him, the White Tiger leaped to the air, trying to strike him with his paw.

Because of Phyrill's lightning, it covered its paw with spinning wind, planning to blow Phyrill away.

Yet, the latter made a smirk as he had expected it.

"If you were a Hero Rank Monster, I might not be able to hit you or something, but… our gap is not that big right now!" Phyrill smirked as he spun his body right before the paw hit, avoiding the attack.

Surprised by the sudden movement, the tiger widened its eyes and tried to bite him instead.

However, Phyrill reacted once again by striking his sharp teeth with his swords and used the force of the collision to send him on top of the tiger's body.

He raised both swords and cut the tiger a few times as he crossed over the lion's body. "Multiple Slashes."

The tiger suddenly roared before blood began to spurt like a fountain. The top of his body and one of his wings were cut by Phyrill, dyeing the white fur to red.

It seemed many of them had new techniques in the past month and Theo himself was happy with their improvement because he knew this team could keep getting stronger to fight against the world.

Due to its wound, the tiger quickly turned around, facing Phyrill with caution. It didn't want to get any injury like this anymore, albeit it was the real reason he lost. One simply didn't turn around and left his back to their opponent.

The moment he saw the opportunity, Laust slashed his sword and released a crescent-shaped blue sword wave, cutting through all the ice spikes.

Phyrill widened his eyes as the white tiger finally noticed what was happening, albeit both of them were too late. inn????e????????. co????

Laust's attack had reached the white tiger and split it in half before continuing its journey until it was stopped by the wall, dispersed without leaving any mark.

Phyrill gritted his teeth and realized that Laust just used him as bait.

Laust simply showed no emotion as he said with a cold tone. "Thank you."

"I should have known…" Phyrill clicked his tongue as Laust simply kept growing at a fast rate. Although he wasn't as cunning as Theo, he indeed had come a long way… Even surpassing his previous cool head before Theo defeated him in a spar.

Seeing that both of them had shown something special, Sihan finally stepped up his game. His shield began to shine brightly along with his sword as he walked forward, challenging all those monsters before his eyes.

He suddenly showed something no one would've expected. His shield cut the monster in half as if he was using his sword.

Theo's Focused Charge actually inspired him to clad his own Shield and turn it into a weapon. He realized that sometimes, defense might be needed, but the best offense might be a good defense at the other time.

Using that concept, he learned a new skill capable of turning his shield into another blade despite not changing its shape. Though, it was enough for him as he had considered the shield as a part of his body.

"…" Ellen, on the other hand, remained in her position, looking at her teammates that kept evolving and showing off their new prowess. Although Theo hadn't shown anything outstanding yet, it was enough to turn on her switch.

Her eyes became extremely cold as she raised her staff, using both Ice Star and Freezing Shot. She made them stand side by side before releasing them at the same time and the same target.

Boom.

Boom.

Boom.

A series of explosions occurred as her attacks hit the floor.

Theo observed her with a surprised face, thinking, 'Did she… just use two skills as if she's using one skill… What is she gonna do next? Double the amount? Four skills at once? Interesting.'
