God Of Tricksters

Chapter 1075 Ambush

Since it was still close to the mountain, they moved a bit toward the center so that it looked like they were aiming for the central region.

There, they found two giant cliffs standing next to each other. The arrangement made it so there were only three entrances.

The assassins would most likely choose to attack them from the top of the cliff while surrounding them from the two sides. However, this was what Theo picked to counter their ambush.

He offered some plans while not forcing them to follow them since they didn’t know the enemy’s number as well as their strength.

Still, Isaac’s eyes and calculation speed should be enough to determine their levels. After all, Isaac’s Analyze Skill could see their status points. Since he was used to calculating the points, it wouldn’t be that hard for him to determine their strength.

Mark and Maya prepared their firepower, especially Maya, because she didn’t bring her armor. Or it would be easy for her to overwhelm them with all those weapons.

Theo stood a bit far from the place while leaving his ant form with them, allowing Theo to understand the current situation from afar.

While waiting, Theo fell into deep thought. ‘What kind of future did she see? To think she would say such a thing and even give me this kind of gift…’

Theo closed his eyes and raised his right hand. A spark of fire soon appeared, brightening the area.

The fire might not be big, but it was stable. Due to the energy supplied into his Order, he could manifest this power easily.

And he could proceed to the next stage, Reality vs Illusion.

He could turn the illusion into a reality. However, he wondered what kind of power could this stage use.

The scene where the Mind Elder ambushed his parents flashed in his mind. The Mind Elder seemed to be using his Illusion Abilities to create a realm that he could manipulate at will.

And after a few decades, he came back again and provided some good data that his mother took in their fight.

”Mhm…” Theo narrowed his eyes as if thinking about something unique. The way the Mind Elder manipulated his illusion piqued his interest.

Now that he had an Order and a great amount of energy to waste, he thought he could fight differently from normal.

’Should I?’ Theo carefully thought since he didn’t want to leave the enemies alive. Their survival would bring too much uncertainty to his plan.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group stayed in the middle of the gap.

”Where’s Joker?” Maya asked while drinking after coming back to regroup with them.

”He’s getting some firewood that way.” Mark pointed at the left side. “We’re lucky to have this cliff since it should shield us from the monsters.”

”Don’t lower your guard. We don’t know what will happen during this trip, especially since this place is called a special region. It’s going to be extremely dangerous.” Maya shook her head, denying his statement.

”Come on. We should enjoy ourselves for today since we won’t have this kind of place anymore in the next few days.” Isaac also had a relaxed mood. He didn’t want to waste this chance to relax.

While they were lowering, another person was watching them while hiding his presence.

After confirming what he wanted, the guy returned to the camp above the cliff.

”We have the visual,” The guy said with a nod. “They’re relaxing inside the cliff, thinking there’s no monster.”

”Even if there’s no monster, there’s still us.” Another guy walked toward them while wearing a black mask that covered his entire face and hair.

”There’s no way they know about our existence. Anyway, what’s about Joker?” The guy asked.

”He seems to have gone out for a while. He should be back soon, so we should finish this job as quickly as possible. No matter what, all four of them are top 10 experts in the Asda Younger Generation List and Joker is the current number one expert… If he joins the fight, at least half of us will die even if we manage to finish our assignment.” Another person came out.

To ambush them, they brought thirty Supreme Rank Experts. After all, Joker alone should be able to handle at least seven of them all by himself. Adding the others into their party along with how narrow the gap between the cliffs, they might be able to hold out for a while even with this number, so they needed to finish the mission before Joker returned.

With ten people ambushing from each side, the enemy would have a problem defending themselves.

One of them reported while putting on his mask. “Team B and C are ready to go. As soon as we give the signal, we can attack them.”

”Five of us will go down while the rest will remain on standby. No matter what, we should be prepared for an unknown variable. At least five of us will buy some time if Joker returns.” The guy stated while putting on his mask too. “Give the signal.”

He nodded and raised his right hand so that the two guys stationed at the cliff’s edges could see them.

In that instant, they raised both hands to tell the ambushers from the two sides to make their appearance.

The moment they received the signal, twenty people emerged from the forest surrounding the cliff.

”Attack them.”

As expected from an elite group of assassins, even though the jobs they registered at the temple weren’t an Assassin, they moved stealthy and swiftly, approaching their target without anyone noticing.

Suddenly, Mark rose from his seat and looked around, realizing the change in the flow of wind. “They’re coming.”

”!!!” Mark and Isaac immediately looked at each other and rose from the ground, facing the opposite directions.

Without hesitation, Maya raised her weapon and shot it upward.

”Bam!”

This gunshot alone should be enough to inform Theo, or so what the assassins thought. Little did they know Theo was already aware of it and simply retracted his ant clone.

As if realizing Maya’s intention, the group from above also came out, leaping off the cliff.

”There are those from above too!” Mark shouted.
