God of Tricksters

"Stop them!" While the people were fighting and shouting, Ray stopped for a moment, staring at Theo from a distance. He was watching how Theo fought the World Class Monster and realized he had achieved the next stage after the Order. It was clear that Theo didn't need help from someone weaker than him.

He took a deep breath before turning around, deciding to focus on the task.

On the other hand, Theo and his clone stood in front of the troubled scorpion.

"You are two people? No, there is no way two people will get the same Authority. Don't tell me, the you from back then was a clone?" The scorpion realized he had been fighting a clone this whole time.

Theo smiled and said, "It's too late for you to realize it. And in this fight, you'll die!"

The scorpion could feel it. Theo was far stronger compared to the last time they fought. It might be due to outside help, but it was clear that fighting Theo would be harder from now on, especially since Theo had chosen to fight him with both his real body and his clone.

Remembering their previous fight, he knew he might not be able to survive this battle. Even so, all his people had been killed by Theo. This anger had to be released.

The scorpion glared at him and shouted, "Even if you manage to kill me, I'll make sure to use my life to drag you down with me!"

"Heh… I'm looking forward to it. Though, you need to have the power to do that first!" Theo smirked.

Clone Theo made the first move. With a single clap, numerous chains appeared from the ground, restraining his body.

The scorpion tried to move in all directions but to no avail. He thought Theo managed to chain him down, but he simply expanded the reality according to his movement, making him think he was chained down.

After that, Theo raised his hand and gathered a black cloud in the sky. Lightning began to spark inside the cloud as a huge spear emerged from it.

At first glance, it looked like Valerie's God Killing Spear. However, the spear was surrounded by lightning. And there were even seven lightning balls hovering around the spear. This was the bigger version of the spear combined with Ava's ability.

"Go!"

The scorpion widened his eyes and tried to break free from the chain. Unfortunately for him, all his attempts failed.

In the end, he had to take this spear head-on.

First, he summoned all the silver sand around him and formed a similar spear to match the form. This way, his spear would be able to neutralize Theo's spear.

*Boom!*

The two spears collided in the sky, creating a massive shock wave. Luckily, their clash wasn't on the ground or else, the trees, the soils, and all the humans near it would have been blown away.

The lightning around Theo's spear became even more ferocious as it tried to burn the silver sand to a crisp. On the other hand, the silver sand was able to corrode everything, including the lightning that had no tangible form.

"…" Theo and his clone knew the World Class Monster wouldn't go down this easily. Hence, they jumped together toward the stinger while using their Alter Ego to boost their strength.

The scorpion remembered the punch that made a dent in his stinger, so he raised his pedipalps to block their paths.

Both Theo and his clone used their Magic Power to teleport past the pedipalps with their blink.

Instead of the stinger, both of them dropped down as if they had changed their aim from the stinger to the scorpion's body.

It was true that the scorpion's body would be thinner, but the scorpion wouldn't hesitate to protect his body even if it meant his stinger was destroyed.

With the stinger moving toward them, Theo and his clone changed their aim again. They used Telekinesis to stand still in the air before striking the same spot in the stinger.

"Kh!" The scorpion gritted his teeth while trying to exert all his Magic Power to protect his stinger.

*Crack!*

"!!!"

Unfortunately for him, it was useless. Theo's full power might be able to leave the dent there, but this time, he had gotten even stronger due to the Mafia Queen as well as the help of his real body.

This strike was not like any other. Instead of a dent, Theo managed to crack the stinger, forcing the scorpion to retract it before it got destroyed.

Seeing this movement, Theo continued to fall down. Even though his punch wouldn't be as strong, it was still enough to give the scorpion some injuries.

"Just get wrecked," Theo muttered while punching the scorpion's back.

As one would expect from a World Class Monster, his intelligence was beyond an ordinary King Class Monster. Right before Theo's fist hit him, the scorpion slammed its pedipalps on the ground and turned it into a crater.

With the help of the Silver Sand that pushed his body down, he avoided this punch.

"He destroyed the ground to avoid it?" Theo narrowed his eyes and planned to take him down with this opportunity. But that attack didn't only destroy the ground but also the base of the chains that restrained him.

Now that he was free, the scorpion looked up while shooting out a huge beam that enveloped both Theo and his clone. "Die!"

The beam lasted for three seconds before Theo could be seen again.

His clone had moved in front of him, stopping this beam with all his energy to protect the real body. He lost his arm, but the real Theo didn't get any injury. In fact, he didn't even use his Magic Power.

With Clone Theo getting crippled, Theo retracted his skill before summoning another clone.

"What?!" The scorpion was dumbstruck. The clone's energy was similar to what the real Theo had. It meant Theo could regenerate his powerful clone continuously until he died.

His original plan was to use his body as bait so that he got the chance to attack Theo like earlier. But it seemed that plan also failed because the clone could continuously sacrifice its life to protect Theo.

"This is…" it was at this moment that the scorpion knew he fucked up.
