God Of Tricksters

"Run!"

"Run?! What?" Rea was completely bewildered by that statement. She didn't know what was happening, but after connecting the barrier and Isaac's voice, she knew that they had been trapped inside.

Although it was for a brief moment, she managed to see Walker's condition.

Without hesitation, she followed them while checking them again. As she saw earlier, Walker actually lost a few fingers. Isaac was fine, but he was covered with bruises and superficial wounds.

"What happened?" Rea asked, trying to get some information.

Suddenly, she felt a few Magic Power fluctuations and transformed into the Genbu Form. She activated the turtle shield to form a barrier that isolated them from the outside.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

A series of explosions hit the barrier, cracking it. Some parts actually crumbled, showing the power of these attacks.

"Kh." Rea gritted her teeth.

"We've been had," Isaac explained while looking at Rea. Now that she was there to protect them, he could finally get some time to catch his breath and explain the situation.

"The enemies are already aware of our position. So, while we were scouting their area, they also used many monsters to form a huge barrier to isolate us, turning that dome into a hunting ground.

"…" Rea was speechless. She never thought the monsters would be this cunning and powerful. "How many are they?"

While asking for information, Rea kept using either her shield or sword to stop these relentless attacks.

"I don't know, one hundred? Two hundred? I don't think it's more than two hundred monsters. But all of them are extremely strong. I'm afraid they are the group of monsters you informed us earlier…"

"Have they split up?" Rea frowned, feeling something was amiss. On the one hand, they were already aware of their arrival. On the other hand, barely thirty minutes had passed. Although they were strong, there was no way to reach this place within thirty minutes.

"This is not good… Are they a separate force from the one we've seen?" Rea clicked her tongue and tossed her radio. "Contact Agata and tell them about the situation. Tell her to check the enemies again to see whether they have reached this area or not."

Isaac nodded with a serious expression.

While he was reporting the situation, Rea kept blocking all these attacks. She could see a few monsters following them, but there should be more that maintained their cover so as to avoid Rea's detection.

It seemed that the enemies were trying to execute another plan as if they had expected this kind of reaction from Rea.

Rea gritted her teeth, trying to figure out the situation. "What should I do now?"

Rea wanted to check the other scouts, but her group was more important. And they could give many excuses for that later.

For now, they had to focus on the current enemies.

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

*Boom!*

Another wave of explosions hit her. But right after Rea blocked these explosions, she suddenly changed her form into that of a dragon.

She gathered a huge amount of energy into her sword and thrust forth, releasing a dragon.

*Roar!*

The dragon let out a roar to intimidate its opponents while destroying all the obstacles in its way.

The dragon eventually reached the unique monster and exploded as if it hit the monster.

But when everything was clear, Rea could see two monsters standing behind a barrier. It was a concentrated barrier made by multiple unique monsters who had barrier ability.

"This is certainly not good…" Rea's expression turned grim. She had two predictions.

First, the enemies would gather in one place and break through with their overwhelming power. This tactic would give them a hard time since Rea had to mobilize all forces just to stop them alone.

The second possibility was that the monsters actually split up, causing Rea to not know where she should focus.

The most effective option would be the second one, but with how the monsters worked, she doubted they would do it. But the possibility was there due to how smart the enemies were.

While she was thinking, she instinctively formed another barrier to block an incoming presence.

"Huh? There's something coming from the left…" Rea turned around and saw another human. But with the red-colored energy around his palm, Rea was sure that this person was the humanoid monster.

She tried to block his attack, but to her surprise, a red light suddenly appeared within the barrier.

"Huh?" Rea was utterly shocked. This was the first time she saw an explosion inside her barrier. After all, this wasn't supposed to happen since her barrier managed to block even the flow of Spiritual Energy.

But she soon changed her mind when she felt a little bit of a leak in her shield.

"!!!" Rea widened her eyes in shock and enveloped her body with Spiritual Energy.

*Boom!*

Rea was engulfed by the explosion, alarming Isaac and Walker.

"Rea!" Isaac tried to look inside the smoke while stopping, ready to provide some support for her. Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Rea was actually flying toward them and falling into the ground not far from them.

So, Isaac didn't have the chance to stop.

"Rea! Are you OK?" Isaac asked out loud while trying to reach her.

Walker, on the other hand, released his chains and sent them around to buy a few seconds for them. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Rea clicked her tongue while raising her head, trying to regain her composure.

She managed to protect herself at the last second, but the impact was still hurt enough to injure her. Luckily, there was no internal injury.

She was thankful for Isaac's concern, but those few seconds were actually used by the enemies to catch up to them.

And by the moment she stood up, she saw some monsters stopping as if they had reached her and some were trying to surround them.

"!!!" Isaac's body shook, seeing the Magic Power fluctuation. "This is not good. There are 120 monsters in this place… roughly. And all of them have a different color of Magic Power."
