God Of Tricksters

*Bam!*

The Magma Dragon fell this time because he managed to find something. Instead of getting angry, the dragon actually calmed down a bit. It felt like he managed to find something useful.

'He should be able to expand his body. And killing me by expanding his body inside me was the best and quickest way to kill me, yet, he blocked my head as if he didn't want to be devoured by me.

'Something isn't right. I don't know what it is, but one thing is for sure. That weird monster won't be able to do anything inside me.'

The Magma Dragon looked at the devil with a serious expression. There were a few things that he could use to check his doubts.

After thinking it through, the dragon rose into the sky once again. This time, there was a weird confidence reflected in his eyes.

The devil was still complacent with his ability. There was not a shred of doubt that he would lose.

The Magma Dragon couldn't help but smile when he saw that expression. The devil truly had the same expression and feeling as he had previously. But that arrogance resulted in him getting defeated by Theo despite having a lot of advantages.

After that defeat and the Lightning Saint's interference, he learned a lot. So, he knew he shouldn't make the same mistake.

Since there was already a proven way to counter the devil's power, the dragon tested it once again. He flew toward the devil while opening his mouth. All three heads attacked him from three directions.

As expected, the devil expanded his hands to block two heads and his right foot to kick the last head. However, the dragon had come prepared this time.

When the devil was about to extend the other foot to catch the dragon's tail again, the dragon suddenly excreted the magma from all over the body.

As expected, the magma was flowing backward… all the magma except for the one on his back.

"!!!" The dragon was happy, finally finding another clue on how to defeat his enemy. It seemed that the devil could only control the magma he could see or sense directly.

In other words, if it was magma that couldn't be seen, the devil wouldn't be able to utilize his power.

There was also the eruption he used earlier. The devil didn't even bother to control it or he might not be able to control it.

'Does that mean I can simply overwhelm his power with the eruption? But using that ability requires a lot of Magic Power. If I use it multiple times, I might be in a bind after exhausting a lot of Magic Power.

'Still, I don't want to be someone who can't defeat his opponent. I am the proud dragon and I have to crush the enemy before me. I won't need any help.'

The Magma Dragon narrowed his eyes, trying to find a way to kill his opponent. It felt like he already had enough clues to defeat the devil. But he also understood that he still couldn't come up with a conclusion that allowed him to fully understand the enemy's strength.

The Magma Dragon tried to crush the red shield but to no avail. The devil, on the other hand, maintained his calm this whole time. He knew that the dragon was observing him, but no matter what he did, there was no way the foolish Magma Dragon would be able to figure it out.

If he could somehow understand, it would be from his instinct. Even so, he wouldn't be able to define his power. 𝘣𝑒𝑑𝘯𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭．𝑜𝘳𝘨

As long as he couldn't completely understand his power, there was no chance for the Magma Dragon to kill him.

After confirming this was the case, the devil began his counterattack.

His hands, which had turned into a red-colored shield, started to change their form again.

The dragon knew it would be dangerous if he continued like this, considering the devil might change the shield into a spear and penetrate his head, but he had to confirm his suspicion.

So, the Magma Dragon didn't release the shields. Instead, he continued applying pressure.

That was why the devil changed his plan. Instead of changing the form, the shield formed a few spikes that looped around the head and tried to pierce the Magma Dragon's body.

Even the foot that kept the middle head at bay sent a few spikes.

"!!!" The dragon panicked for a second, thinking, 'There are incoming spikes. My scales are hard, so it's impossible to penetrate them. But this devil has a weird power that can suppress my power…'

The dragon was thinking about whether he should retreat or not. Since he still hadn't understood the devil's power, the dragon ended up releasing the devil and flapped his wings to regain some distance.

But the devil used that chance to kick him with the other foot, blowing him away.

"Kh…" The dragon gritted his teeth, glaring at the devil.

When he was about to approach the devil again, a lightning strike fell on top of the devil.

"!!!" The devil widened his eyes and turned around, trying to stop the lightning. He even expanded his body to block it, but it was too late.

The lightning completely pierced through the red shield that the Magma Dragon never had the chance to break.

"What?" The Magma Dragon widened his eyes. But he knew where the lightning came from, considering there was only one guy who had this ability.

But before he could turn around, a roar suddenly echoed from the other side of the battlefield, carrying a message.

*Roarrrrrr!*

'His power is Color, specifically Red. He can control everything that is red. The reason for you to be unable to do anything against him is because of the color of your magma. Magma is a molten or semi-molten rock. What he controls is the liquid state that radiates the red color while the glowing liquid will remain under your control.

'But do you think that's all about your magma? You are the ruler of magma, so you should know about it. That's the exact reason why he refused to be swallowed. Everything becomes dark when the light can't come in. The human called it… Black-body Radiation Law.'
